There wasn't much to say about the interview process.
Bronya couldn't possibly let the Captain leave, so this interview was just going through the motions.
She symbolically asked about Haru's artistic skills, chatted about game art, then Bronya made her decision.
"Welcome to miHoYo Studio, Mr. Haru."
"Given your excellent work history, I hope you can take on the position of lead art director."
Hearing Bronya's words, Haru scratched his head in confusion.
Wait, could his few months as a concept artist at JuZha company really be considered excellent work experience?
Perhaps for a small company, this resume wasn't bad.
But from their interview conversation, Haru learned that before acquiring miHoYo and planning to go solo, Bronya had worked at Anti-Entropy Entertainment.
Anti-Entropy Entertainment was a global top-tier company spanning film, animation, music, gaming, and other fields. Its scale was several times larger than Tencent, and only Schicksal Corporation could compete with it.
And if he wasn't mistaken...
In this timeline, Bronya should still be the student of Anti-Entropy leader Welt Yang.
With Old Yang's personality, since he had taken Bronya as his student, he most likely viewed the girl as Anti-Entropy's future successor.
Haru's eyelid twitched slightly, thinking that since Bronya was still Anti-Entropy's crown prince, she must have seen plenty of elite talents. Compared to them, his work experience could hardly be called excellent.
However.
Bronya was now praising his unimpressive work experience and even offering him the position of lead art director.
Could it be...
Had Bronya discovered his talent, honed through loops, during the interview and planned to invest in this potential stock?!
Haru nodded thoughtfully.
When she was still the flat duck, the girl was the Wolf of St. Freya who never lost money in stocks. With her high intelligence, she might really be able to see his extraordinary qualities.
This way, everything made sense.
Haru thought he had figured out Bronya's thinking and showed a confident smile.
"Leave the lead art director position to me. Boss, rest assured, I definitely won't disappoint your expectations."
"Mm, I believe in you."
Bronya smiled gently, then said in a soft tone: "You don't need to call me boss. Within the studio, I'd rather be a game producer. We're all friends working together to develop games."
"Then I'll call you Bronya directly?"
Haru went with the flow, naturally changing how he addressed her.
He was used to calling the girl by her name in the past, and it felt a bit uncomfortable to call her boss.
"That's fine, I'll call you Haru too."
Bronya nodded lightly, some complexity hidden in her light gray eyes.
The girl now experienced what Haru had felt in the past—being forgotten by one's beloved in the loops and having to pretend to be strangers meeting for the first time.
This feeling really couldn't be called pleasant...
Bronya felt somewhat down, then rallied herself.
Think of it as a game save file being lost and needing to play through again!
Looking on the bright side, the reborn world had no Honkai. She just needed to make the Captain fall for her again to reach the perfect ending, unlike before rebirth when they both died together in the battle against Finality.
Captain, obediently come into Bronya's bowl!
The girl's resolve was firm, planning to add more chips to win over Haru.
"Since you're willing to take on the lead art director position, Haru, we should discuss the corresponding salary."
Bronya crossed her two beautiful black-stockinged legs under the desk, wearing an approachable smile on her pretty face: "Although miHoYo Studio is currently just an unknown small company, our future goal is to become a world-class game developer, so the treatment naturally can't be much worse than those big companies."
"How about this—I'll give you a monthly salary of twenty thousand yuan. How's that?"
Haru swallowed upon hearing this.
Before he could say anything, he heard Bronya's addition.
"By the way, twenty thousand is just the base salary after deducting social insurance and housing fund."
The girl waved her fair fingers, as if trying to draw Haru's gaze, "There will also be performance bonuses at the end of the year. If the game sells well, this bonus might even be more than the salary!"
"Great, can I sign the employment contract right now?"
Haru knew the treatment Bronya offered definitely wouldn't be bad, but he hadn't expected it to be this good.
When he was a concept artist at JuZha company, even including monthly performance wages, he barely approached ten thousand, sometimes earning less than what he made drawing doujins.
Now Bronya was directly doubling his salary, plus year-end game profit sharing. If sales were good, earning hundreds of thousands a year wouldn't be a problem!
Just for this treatment...
Let alone being lead art director, even if Bronya wanted to acquire Anti-Entropy and absorb Schicksal, he, Haru, would definitely help out!
"So eager? That's fine, I'll prepare contracts for you and Qingque now."
Bronya readily agreed.
It was also good for her that the Captain wanted to confirm the treatment in black and white.
Once he signed Bronya's employment contract, the Captain wouldn't be able to escape!
Joy rose in Bronya's heart. She borrowed Qingque's computer, quickly drafted two contracts using Anti-Entropy's template, then printed them out.
"Mm, no problems."
Haru briefly flipped through the contract—the content was very standard.
There was no need to hesitate. Under Bronya's expectant gaze, he signed his name.
"Hehe, I've signed mine too!"
Qingque wore a silly happy smile on her face, obviously still immersed in the joy of her promotion and raise.
Who would have thought that a college graduate like her would be earning over ten thousand a month so soon.
She had originally planned to take the civil service exam if the company went bankrupt, but now it seemed staying at miHoYo Studio was the right path!
"The employment contracts are in duplicate. Please keep your copies safe."
Bronya's lips curved up slightly as she spoke in a great mood, "Today is Friday. You can leave now and officially start work next Monday."
She hadn't expected to find the Captain today and wasn't sufficiently prepared.
Over the weekend, Bronya planned to carefully consider her future plans, then officially begin her strategy to win over the Captain next Monday.
"We can actually leave work early—Boss, you're really nice."
Qingque's eyes lit up, mentally calculating whether to go to the mahjong parlor to relax later.
"Then I'll head out first too."
Haru's expression was also very happy as he said with a grin: "Someone at home is waiting for me to bring back the good news. See everyone next week!"
He couldn't wait to immediately go home and share the joy of doubling his salary with Elysia.
"Family... parents?"
Qingque blinked her green eyes and nodded in agreement, "I understand. This is definitely a time to show off to family."
Wait, didn't the Captain have no relatives? Where did this family come from?!
Hearing the conversation between Qingque and Haru, Bronya instinctively had a bad premonition.
The next second, the premonition became reality!
"Well, I do want to show off, but Qingque, you got one thing wrong."
Haru was like a typical couple in love, unable to help but smile when mentioning the other person: "When I said family, I meant my girlfriend!"
