Chapter 1559: Hoshino Returns, Arus Ready

The message that Moroboshi Tsuyoshi left for the MAC team members was recorded in a hurry, but the content of his words was full of sincerity and heartfelt feelings.

The team members listened to their names being read out one by one by Zhu Xingtuan, accompanied by a short message. The more sentimental ones had tears in their eyes.

None of the team members had expected that their separation from Zhu Xingtuan would come so suddenly.

"Captain... Really, my birthday is in a few days, and I was hoping that Captain would..."

Haruko Matsugi gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, wiping away the tears that were about to roll down, her tone full of regret.

"There's nothing we can do about it, but there's no need to be too sad. This separation is just temporary, and we'll see each other again someday."

Seeing that the team members were in a low mood, Gu Chen immediately said some nice words to try to cheer them up.

After all, according to the original plot, the first four Showa elders, including Tuan Moroboshi, will return to Earth and stay there until the Mebius period.

By that time, reuniting with the team members would be a minor issue, and at most we would be separated for a few years.

But the longer the separation, the more delicious the wine will be when we meet again, right?

……

Coming out of the training room, Gu Chen walked towards Shi Xinyu's office without stopping.

The matter of the MAC team captaincy has been dealt with. Regardless of whether Nan Meng is mentally prepared or not, he is bound to be the captain. After all, he has enough qualifications and abilities. All he lacks is a little confidence.

I think once he officially commands a battle, he will be fully qualified to be the captain of the MAC team.

I just don’t know if he can continue to serve as the captain of UGM in the future.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen had already walked to the door of Shi Xinyu's office.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen didn't know why he did this. Anyway, it was already a subconscious behavior.

Then he reached out and knocked on the office door.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Please come in."

Shi Xinyu's cold voice came from the office.

Gu Chen pushed the door open and saw Shi Xinyu buried in the desk. The documents on the desk looked no different from when Gu Chen came a month ago.

But the difference was that on the other side of the office, Hoshino Yong was sitting at a slightly smaller desk, also buried in his desk like Shi Xinyu.

However, it was obvious that Hoshino Yong was not fully focused on the document in front of him. His little head immediately turned towards the office door as Gu Chen made a noise.

"consultant?!"

A cry of relief suddenly burst out from Xingye Yong's mouth, which was equivalent to telling Shi Xinyu who came to her office at this moment.

Hearing this, Shi Xinyu raised his head from his desk, looked at Gu Chen expressionlessly, and said in a flat tone: "Is it done?"

"It's done. How has Xingye performed this month?"

Gu Chen glanced at Xingye Yong, then turned to look at Shi Xinyu, nodded and said.

"Just so-so."

Shi Xinyu commented simply.

"Can you be my assistant?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen asked again.

"Assistant? What happened to Annu? Is she going on maternity leave?"

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Shi Xinyu, who had been expressionless, finally showed some change in expression. She frowned slightly and asked back.

"No, I have other things to do, so I need someone else to act as my assistant."

Gu Chen did not give any further explanation and just responded vaguely.

"..." Shi Xinyu frowned and looked at Gu Chen. After a while, he said, "Okay, if Xingye is just your assistant, there shouldn't be any problem. But you need to keep a close eye on him. He is still young and has a lot to learn."

Seeing that Shi Xinyu did not delve into this topic further, Gu Chen felt a little relieved.

This saved him the trouble of making excuses.

Xingye Yong, who was listening to the conversation between Gu Chen and Shi Xinyu, had his eyes shining and looked at Gu Chen as if he was looking at a savior.

Noticing this, Gu Chen looked at Xingye Yong in surprise and asked curiously, "Hey, Xingye, when did you learn Chinese? Did you understand the conversation between me and Chief of Staff Shi?"

"Hey, I've been teaching myself Chinese for a long time. Even though I'm not very fluent when speaking and my pronunciation isn't standard, I have no problem listening."

Hearing this, Hoshino Yong touched the back of his head and chuckled, showing off a little with some pride.

"You're quite capable, kid. Now that I know your next arrangements, then come with me. Being my assistant won't be any easier than you are now."

Gu Chen raised his eyebrows, then hooked his finger and prepared to take Xingye Yong away.

However, Hoshino Yong did not leave with Gu Chen immediately. Instead, he looked at Shi Xinyu with an inquiring look, and then looked at the documents on the table in front of him.

"Leave your things here, and you can go. But remember what I taught you this month. Read and remember more when there are many people around, and ask the consultant more when there are few people around. Got it?"

Noticing Hoshino Yong's gaze, Shi Xinyu said something lightly and buried his head in the desk again.

"Yes, Chief of Staff Shi!"

After hearing what Shi Xinyu said, Xingye Yong immediately performed a standard etiquette towards her.

After doing all this, Xingye Yongcai ran to Gu Chen's side and stood there like a little follower.

Immediately, Gu Chen took Xingye Yong out of Shi Xinyu's office and let Xingye Yong familiarize himself with the assistant's daily work affairs.

As for where Hoshino Yong had been during the past month, which he was curious about, Gu Chen didn't tell him for the time being.

Because whether or not to disclose the information of the Kingdom of Light to more people needs to be discussed with Prime Minister Manabe and Zhao Zhiming's people before a decision can be made.

After all, when releasing such a powerful weapon, we must ensure that the benefits are maximized.

If you just act based on your mood, there is a high probability that the power of this card will be greatly reduced, so you can't be careless.

And if Gu Chen's guess is correct, the United States should be busy with this matter. It is estimated that it will not be long before a public opinion storm will sweep towards him.

Driven by interests, the United States will definitely destroy Gu Chen's perfect image in people's minds, so as to further prevent Gu Chen from taking the lead in leading the unification of the human regime.

Even if they are to come, it should be people from the United States. They think so from the bottom of their hearts.

……

At the same time, in the underground secret city.

"King Arus, get ready. It will be your turn to appear in a few days. Are you familiar with the script?"

On the communication screen, Dark Tiga looked at Arus on the other side and smiled.
