Chapter 1122 Magic Match, Call It a Day

"It looks like you had a very beautiful dream. Okay, I'll come and take a look."

Kitajima Tetsuya looked at Izumi Moriyama, whose face turned red due to the teasing, and immediately reached out and took out a match from the matchbox.

"I also want."

Seeing this, Tadao Nanhara also picked up a match.

"Wait a minute, you two have nothing to do all day long. I'm worried about you just dreaming." As he said that, Aragaki Shuhei also took one, "Idiot, let me see it too."

Immediately, the three of them struck matches together and stared at the burning flames.

Seeing the three old men gathered together and staring at the matches in a daze, Gu Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, wondering if they really saw something from the struck matches.

After all, they are not the real little match girl who lit a match to see her grandmother when she was about to freeze to death.

After a while, the match went out, but Aragaki Shuhei and the other two simultaneously demonstrated to Gu Chen what it meant to fall on flat ground.

No, falling on flat ground pales in comparison to these three people. They were standing perfectly fine and suddenly fell down.

"What happen to you guys?"

Seeing the three old men falling to the ground, Kirisaki couldn't help but look at Tokotaro, and then asked curiously.

"No, well, a little bit..."

Shuhei Araki quickly stood up, but began to hesitate.

"Is the deputy captain okay?"

Kitajima Tetsuya also got up immediately and took the time to check on Araki Shuhei.

"Oh, it's okay." Araki Shuhei responded, and then realized that it was Kitajima Tetsuya who was concerned about him, and immediately slapped him on the head, "Idiot, it's all your fault that you couldn't control your balance."

Wow, listening to their conversation, it seems like the three of them entered the same dream together, just like in the original plot, and fell down on the road while riding a three-person bicycle.

In response to this, Gu Chen didn't know what to say for a moment, and looked at the box of matches on the table.

Is that thing really that magical? Why didn't he know about it before?

"Counselor, do you want to try it too?"

Just as he was thinking this, Moriyama Quan suddenly rushed to Gu Chen and handed him the box of matches.

"Well... let's give it a try."

Since he was already here, with the mentality of giving it a try for free, Gu Chen took out a match from the matchbox, then scratched the matchbox slightly, and a flame suddenly burned up in front of Gu Chen's eyes.

Staring at the burning flame in front of him, it was as if there were two flames jumping in Gu Chen's eyes.

After a while, the flame went out, Gu Chen blinked, and threw the match into the trash can.

"Counselor, do you see anything?"

Seeing this, everyone looked over and asked curiously.

"Hmm... I didn't see anything."

Faced with everyone's curious inquiries, Gu Chen pursed his lips, said nothing in the end, and then walked out of the war room.

"The consultant doesn't look like he didn't see anything."

Looking at Gu Chen's leaving back, everyone couldn't help but scratch their heads in confusion.

But if Gu Chen didn't say anything, no one would know what he saw in the fire.

The scene changed, and Gu Chen, who had left the war room, came to his office.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Shi Xinyu busy working.

"Hey, isn't this our Staff Officer Gu Chen? How come you have time to come to my place today?"

Noticing the sound of Gu Chen pushing the door open, Shi Xinyu subconsciously raised his head. After seeing the person coming, all his resentment seemed to overflow, and he spoke to Gu Chen in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, look at what you said. Let me handle today's work, and you can have a good rest."

Seeing Shi Xinyu like this, Gu Chen smiled awkwardly and took back the job that was supposed to be his.

"Hey? The sun is rising from the west today. Does our dear consultant know it's time to go to work?"

Seeing this, Shi Xinyu couldn't help but feel very surprised. After all, this was not a common thing and could be considered quite rare.

"That's not interesting. What's wrong with me going to work during the holidays? And isn't this part of the plan?"

Gu Chen rolled his eyes, then sat down in his office chair and began to hand over work content to Shi Xinyu.

"If you say so, it's true."

Hearing this, Shi Xinyu couldn't help but be speechless.

By next year at the latest, she will no longer serve as Gu Chen's assistant, and will be promoted to a new staff officer, officially joining the senior ranks of Sakura Country.

If nothing unexpected happens, at the beginning of the new year, Chief of Staff Manabe will become the new Prime Minister of the Sakura Country.

The plan that Chief of Staff Manabe has been secretly carrying out will enter the next phase starting next year.

As for what kind of results will be achieved in the final stage, even Gu Chen doesn’t know. After all, he is almost traveling outside of this plan.

But Gu Chen's intuition told him that Staff Officer Manabe was doing something big, something that would go down in world history.

Then, Gu Chen stopped thinking and started to deal with many work matters.

It's not that he suddenly got crazy and started to love his work, he just wanted to use this method to stop himself from thinking about random things.

In this situation, time flies and it’s soon time to get off work.

……

"Counselor, are you still busy? It's time to get off work."

It was not until Higashi Kotaro and Kirisaki came to call him off work that Gu Chen realized that the sun had begun to set behind the mountain.

Looking at the documents on the desktop that had not been completely processed, Gu Chen couldn't help but fall into a brief contemplation.

After a while...

"Let's go, let's get off work."

Soon, Gu Chen stood up, stretched, and went home after get off work with Dong Kotaro and Kirisaki.

As for work, let our hardworking and honest Assistant Officer Shi work harder tomorrow.

……

Not long after, Gu Chen and the other two returned home.

As soon as they opened the door, Gu Chen and the other two were stunned at the entrance.

Everywhere you look, there are Christmas decorations.

Looking into the inner room, you can see Tuan Moroboshi decorating a Christmas tree on a folding ladder.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Saori Shiratori and Kenichi Shiratori couldn't help but poke their little heads out from the living room.

"Ah, it's Brother Kotaro, Brother Kirisaki, and Uncle Gu Chen, welcome home."

When he saw that it was Gu Chen and others, Shiratori Kenichi exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, you're back. Dinner is almost ready. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Hearing this, Mother of Ultra also poked her head out of the kitchen and greeted Gu Chen and the other two.

"Hey, okay."

Seeing this, Gu Chen nodded blankly, then stepped into the house.
