"How about it, Julia? Would you like to join my plan?"

Emery formally extended the invitation.

"...You've gone this far, how could I possibly refuse?"

Having already been completely convinced and smoothly descended the last step, Yulia naturally had only one answer.

She reached out and grasped Amelie's hand tightly:

"From today onwards, I am your employee, boss."

"Don't be too kind to me, I'm very strong, please do as you please."

"I need to earn money to pay off my debts, but I'd rather use my abilities to help others more effectively, just as you described, Emery!"

Chapter 56 I could never repay this debt in a lifetime

It became.

Seeing Julia leave her signature, fingerprints, and magical mark on the employment contract, Emerald felt a little smug.

She finally accomplished what many bosses in the original game wanted to do but couldn't.

Yulia was made to voluntarily become a beast of burden and work for her.

Not joining any company or organization was a firm decision in Julia's mind, and changing that decision was no easy task. Emery, however, started by appealing to Julia's ideals, gradually influencing her through a series of small events, and has finally succeeded.

However, the future that Emerald described to Julia wasn't entirely untrue.

Since transmigrating to this world, Emerald has had many plans on how to deal with Julia, the original female lead.

The best plan, of course, is to seize all of Yulia's opportunities and then keep her at home as a pet.

But the incident at Uri's magic workshop proved that this plan was not feasible.

Yulia may not be the absolute protagonist like in the original game, but she must have a strong destiny in this world. Going against her will most likely lead to bad luck, and even if Emery is a transmigrator, she doesn't want to try it easily.

Therefore, Emerald chose the current approach: she would become Julia's boss, help Julia fulfill her destiny, and then seize the opportunity to gain the greatest possible benefit.

The inspiration for this plan actually came from a TV series that Amelie loved in her previous life, called The Boys.

The main villain in the show, Vought International, achieved great success by creating artificial superhumans and then cultivating them into commercial idol-style superheroes.

Ameliete planned to take this approach, so that Julia could work for her willingly while also bringing her huge business profits, thus completing the family's entrepreneurial trial.

Of course, Emerald would never raise Julia into a giant baby like Homelander, nor would she raise Julia into a saintly, love-struck woman like Starlight who always opposes the company.

A person like Queen Maeve, who can excel at all the business activities assigned by the company, tolerate some of the company's evils, and maintain a certain moral bottom line, is the ideal model for Amelie to train Julia.

However, Yulia is definitely more like Starlight now, not as love-struck but still a saintly figure, and needs Amelie to do more to modify and adjust her.

Besides the opportunity to start a business and make money, this plan actually has an even greater benefit, which Amelie didn't mention and Julia never even considered.

As someone favored by fate, Yulia will have several more great opportunities similar to the Uri Magic Workshop. These opportunities belong exclusively to her and cannot be taken away by others.

If Yulia were still an independent, enthusiastic individual, then even Emeryt could only watch those opportunities unfold with envy, just like she is now dealing with the magic workshop that Uri left behind.

But things are different now; Julia is now an employee of Emerald.

According to the laws of the Allen Federation, Yulia's income as an employee during her working hours belongs to the company first and is then distributed.

So when are Julia's working hours? Because she owes Amelie a large sum of money, Julia's employment contract stipulates that she has no rest time; all her time before paying off the debt is considered working time.

On the surface, Emery claimed it was out of kindness, saying she could calculate multiple times the overtime pay for Julia according to federal law, so Julia could pay off her loan sooner. Julia didn't think too much about it and readily agreed and signed the contract.

In reality, this would give Amelie a legitimate reason to share in Julia's great opportunities. This would be entirely in accordance with federal law, and even Julia herself wouldn't object at that point.

As for Yulia paying off her debts... that's a joke. She owes money to capitalists and expects to pay it off? Amelie has far too many ways to exploit Yulia for the rest of her life.

For example, the magical artifacts she promised to provide to Yulia are company property; Yulia only has the right to use them, not ownership. If those magical artifacts break down during use, Yulia's debts will naturally increase.

Or, if Yulia accidentally causes great destruction during a battle with a monster, and the company pays compensation for her, her debt will still increase.

In short, if Emily really wanted to, Julia's debts would never be fully repaid, and she would never be able to pay them off in her lifetime.

. . . . .

With the attention of many people and forces, Miss Melson, who had taken over Locke City, finally began her real entrepreneurial endeavors.

The day after Julia signed the employment contract, Amelie transferred 5000 million rons from Welwyn Copper to register a new company.

Blue Star Films.

Her unusual name has kept many people interested in Emery, eager to see what new tricks she has up her sleeve.

Emery acted swiftly; after completing the registration of Blue Star Films, she immediately began recruiting staff and selecting a company headquarters.

As for recruitment, the finance and human resources departments are straightforward; we can simply draw some people from Viron Copper Industry to work temporarily. Finding people to support Yulia is also easy; we can recruit a few graduates skilled in mathematical modeling and data analysis from the Magic Engineering Academy.

The only difficult thing to find was a photographer to follow Yulia, since Yulia's magical cloak is quite agile when she flies, and most photographers can't keep up with her pace. And Yulia won't wait for a photographer when someone urgently needs help.

Fortunately, Amelie had planned this since she was a child, and she had started looking for suitable candidates while she was in school. She had already found a photographer who could keep up with Julia.

It's time to bring the photographers back to their places.

Amelie quickly wrote a personal letter and sent it to the capital of the Allen Federation. If nothing unexpected happened, the photographer would arrive in three days at most.

Before that, Emery needed to select a suitable location for the company, build the company headquarters building, and carry out appropriate renovations.

This step also encountered a small problem.

The piece of land that Emerald had her eye on was located in the east of Locke City. Several holdout households were stubbornly refusing to move, saying that their ancestors had lived there for generations and that they would not move no matter how much money was offered.

After the assistant's personal attempts to negotiate failed to persuade the other party, Amelie directly brought in Fatty Vie and his White River Gang members:

"In half an hour, I will go to have dinner with Yulia. After dinner, we will play some custom dreams, so you have 3 hours."

"No matter what method you use, when Yulia and I end the customized dream, that land must already belong to me... The original owner must voluntarily sell it to me, understand?"

Chapter 57 Cat Photography

Emery didn't ask any further questions about what exactly Fatty Vi and the White River Gang had done.

She is beautiful and kind-hearted, and cannot bear to see such cruel things.

Anyway, after Emery dragged Julia to enjoy a customized dream under the guise of work-life balance and virtual training, the fat man had already completed his mission.

That piece of land already belonged to Amelie; the original owner voluntarily sold it to her, and the formal transaction contract was flawless.

"Did you see that?"

Seeing a hint of doubt in Julia's eyes, Emery patted the trade contract and deliberately snorted with a disdainful expression:

"There are no truly homeless holdouts; they're just greedy people who think the compensation isn't enough."

"Woo..."

Seeing that the amount on the transaction contract was indeed higher than the market price, Yulia didn't ask any further questions about it.

She was still a little nervous about her new job, and these past two days, apart from going around to help people as usual, she had been mostly adjusting and relaxing.

Of course, Emery wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. Whenever Julia had a break, she would take her to various luxury places to enjoy herself to the fullest, ostensibly to reward the new employee, but in reality, she was subtly influencing Julia, making her increasingly dependent on a life of wealth.

Having acquired the land, and with the aid of magical power, an M-shaped building rose from the ground, achieving a magnificent appearance within hours. Then, numerous workers wielding various magical devices moved in and out of the building, installing water pipes and various life-related magical circuits, and carrying out interior decoration.

Two days later, the M-shaped Blue Star Film Company building was fully completed, and the photographer recruited from the federal capital by Emery in a handwritten letter also arrived.

"what?"

The photographer was immediately surrounded by onlookers as soon as he arrived at Emerald. Julia and Marcy couldn't resist reaching out to touch him, and even the assistant was eager to do the same.

The adorable cat with antennae on its head and wings on its back struggled for a long time before finally breaking free from Marcy and Julia's embrace and flying onto Emerald's head, meowing in dissatisfaction.

"You idiot, Emerald! You idiot! How can you not even manage your own employees? How dare they be so rude!"

"Okay, okay~~"

Amelie caught the winged cat with one hand and rubbed her head:

"Who can blame you when pancakes are such a rare and adorable creature? It's only natural that girls can't help themselves when they see you."

After calming the cat named Pancake, seeing that Marcy and Julia were still very curious, Emerald smiled and explained:

"Don't let her cat-like appearance fool you, she's actually an intelligent being from another world, and she enjoys full human rights under federal law. She was even one of my professors when I was in school, responsible for teaching us some basic knowledge of spacetime and otherworldly magic that works in this world. I spent a lot of money to recruit her to work for me."

"Intelligent life from another world?"

Yulia blinked:

"Other worlds really exist? I thought they were just made up in novels and picture books... How did Miss Pancake come to our world?"

"What else could it be? An accident during some kind of magic."

Emery shrugged:

"At that time, Pancake was being hunted by a powerful enemy and needed to break through the spatial blockade to escape as far as possible. Meanwhile, a young girl in our world was practicing random summoning magic, trying to summon a magical creature that no one had ever seen before... And so, an accident, or rather a miracle, was born. Pancake came to our world and could never go back."

"Uh...it really does sound like a scene from a novel."

Yulia muttered a complaint, then asked curiously:

"That young girl practicing random summoning spells, is that you, Emery?"

"Of course not... If Pancake was summoned by me, would I need to pay a high price to recruit her to work for me? I would just use a summoned creature to force a contract."

Emery rolled her eyes:

"That girl was our school's first principal. She's long since passed away, and Pancake was freed to stay at the school and teach us."

"However, in my interactions with Pancake, I discovered that she actually doesn't like living in the same place all the time. In her own world, she is an adventurer and a bard, otherwise she wouldn't have provoked a powerful enemy and fled in panic."

"As an intelligent life form from another world, Pancake has always been strictly regulated by the federal government, so she can only remain a professor at the university. It is very difficult for others to take her out."

“But I’m different… As you all know, my family has a little bit of influence in the Federation. As long as I vouch for it in the name of my family, I can still hire Pancake.”

So~~that's it~~

As she spoke, Emerald grabbed the muffin with both hands and simultaneously pulled at both sides of her cat face:

"Don't act like you're doing me a favor by working for me! It was I who used my family's reputation as collateral to rescue you from this cage! So you should work for me with gratitude, not only without pay but also like an ox or a horse, working tirelessly without complaint! Understand? Otherwise, I'll send you back to school!"

"Meow! Emerald, you really are a bad woman! A bad woman! You actually tried to get something for nothing from me!"

Pancake scratched and clawed its way out of Emerald's grasp, flying around the room with obvious dissatisfaction:

"The employment contract you sent me clearly states that my salary is very high!"

"That's just a common accounting trick. By using that money as your salary, you won't be traced too much after it leaves the company account. Many people like to use it."

Emery shrugged:

"Otherwise, do you think some people really earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars a year? In reality, they sign dual contracts, and the actual income they receive is not much; it's all for the company's accounting purposes."

"okay."

Seeing that Muffin was about to say something, Amelie grabbed her again and started kneading her:

"What use is so much money to a cat like you? Others don't know your identity and might mistake you for a monster! So I'll keep your salary for you, take care of your food and lodging, and buy you some toys and novels/illustrations every now and then, isn't that enough?"

"You should get to know her better."

After kneading the cat's face into a pancake, Amelie tucked it into Julia's arms again:

"From now on, you two will be partners. Pancake, your job is to use your agile flying ability to record every little thing about Yulia, understand?"

"Meow!"

No matter how much she complained, it was clear that the pancakes were no match for Emerald.

"Please give me more advice."

Yulia politely shook the pancake's paw, looking forward to her new job even more.

Chapter 58 Magical Attire

With the company headquarters built and all employees in place, only one final step remained in Yulia's preparations for her official idol debut.

Her battle robe.

Now that they're professional idol heroes with companies behind them, they can't just casually wear a short skirt and a cape and go out on the street like before. They need a distinctive uniform.

"How about it? Is it okay?"

After sitting up from a magical testing device that resembled an MRI machine, Yulia nervously put on her white stockings and asked Emerald, who was looking at the test report.

"Yeah, no problem."

Although she had actually expected this, Emerald still feigned surprise and looked Julia over once again:
