Chapter 455 Shocked and unbelievable Hideki Ko

Let’s not talk about what happens in the universe for now.

It is said that after the Tokyo Bay monster attack came to an end, Tokyo seemed to have returned to its usual peaceful life.

People were doing whatever they were supposed to do, and Gu Chen was spending his days leisurely in his small shop as always.

"Good afternoon, store manager."

In the afternoon, Hideki Go wore the uniform of the MAT team and walked into the store with a bright smile on his face.

"Huh? Mr. Xiang, have you joined the MAT team? But weren't you chasing your dream of being a racing driver? Why did you suddenly change careers?"

When Xiaoxue saw the uniform worn by Hideki Go, she was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I won't delay becoming a MAT team or becoming an excellent racing driver."

Hearing this, Xiushu Xiang laughed, and then said: "By the way, Manager Xiaoxue, where is the store manager?"

"I'm taking a nap on the second floor."

Speaking of this, Xiaoxue couldn't help but puff up her face and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Brother Gu Chen is really true. Since there were more employees in the store, he has become more and more lazy. Before, he would even consider Taking care of the surrounding shops, now he has completely given up running the shop and left everything to me, so can't he develop his own business?"

Compared to Gu Chen, the boss, Xiaoxue, the store manager, is more concerned about the development of the store and has the ambition to make the store bigger and stronger and create glory.

It's just that she is a high school graduate who has never even gone to college. How can she know how to run a small shop into a large-scale catering company with a national chain?

Therefore, when she saw that Gu Chen didn't care about the store's management at all, she felt anxious for Gu Chen. At the same time, she was worried that running the store by herself would cause it to close down.

Therefore, after Xiaoxue became the store manager, she basically didn't touch the development strategy Gu Chen set when she opened the business, and just ran the store step by step.

At the same time, Xiaoxue also used the salary saved over the years to enroll herself in a night school and take courses from the university's business department, probably in order to live up to Gu Chen's trust in her.

"Ah, well, it seems that my coming here is a bit unlucky."

Listening to Xiaoxue's complaints to Gu Chen, Xiang Xiushu scratched his head. It seemed that his visit this time was going to end in failure.

But just when Xiang Xiushu was about to say goodbye and leave, Gu Chen yawned and walked down from the second floor.

"Hey, isn't this the countryside? Looking at your outfit...you are quite energetic."

Gu Chen leaned on the door frame leading to the stairs to the second floor and waved lazily to Xiang Xiushu.

"Brother Gu Chen, you finally woke up. You took a really long nap this afternoon."

Before Gu Chen could get a response from Xiang Xiushu, he heard Xiaoxue complaining about him.

"Hahaha, don't worry about such details."

Hearing this, Gu Chen grinned, shrugged nonchalantly, and then said to Xiang Xiushu: "So, does this local MAT team member come to see me for something?"

"Yes, but I also came here for the store manager's special coffee."

Xiang Xiushu nodded, and by the way, he was greedy for the coffee Gu Chen made specially for him.

"Okay, then you sit down for a while."

Gu Chen straightened up and walked towards the coffee-making workbench as he spoke.

After a while, Gu Chen came to the booth where Xiang Xiushu was sitting, carrying two cups of coffee.

"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Gu Chen asked straight to the point.

"That's right, I learned about your past, store manager, in MAT."

Xiang Xiushu organized his words and spoke slowly.

"Hmm, so what?"

Gu Chen shrugged and said indifferently.

"So, I want to know, store manager, why did you refuse Captain Kato's invitation?"

Hideki Go asked the question in his mind, and at the same time added: "After I joined MAT, I can intuitively feel that they attach great importance to you, the store manager, and even arranged a separate desk for you in the war room. , the treatment is almost the same as that of Captain Kato.”

"About this, I want to ask you two questions first."

Gu Chen did not immediately answer Xiu Xiu's question directly, but raised two fingers and continued: "First, how much do you know about MAT? Second, how much do you know about the Earth Defense Force?"

"This... I only know that MAT is a team that specializes in dealing with monsters and aliens; as for the Earth Defense Force, I only know that their duty is to protect human life and property, and it is an international organization jointly established by various countries in the world. "

Facing Gu Chen's question, Xiang Xiushu stumbled a bit in his answer.

It can be heard that Hideki Go has indeed done his homework, but not too much.

"That's not a bad answer, but I guess you don't know the past history of the Earth Defense Force."

Xiang Xiushu nodded, and then waited for Gu Chen's next words.

"But you must know that the Earth Defense Force's Far East Headquarters once planned to start World War III."

As soon as these words came out, Xiang Xiushu's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "What?! Isn't this news a rumor? Is it true?!"

"Ah!"

Seeing Xiang Xiushu's reaction, Gu Chen immediately sneered and said, "It's this kind of trick to distort historical facts again. I didn't expect that even if a group of people were changed, they would still have the same virtues. It seems that my guess was indeed correct."

"Xiang, I tell you clearly that this is indeed true."

"how come……"

Hideki Go obviously couldn't accept it for a while, because in the information he received, the Earth Defense Force has always been a just organization that fights for humans on earth and monsters and people from space. How could such an organization do such a crazy thing? What about behavior?

And this is also the dirty thing about the Sakura Country government. Faced with such a world-wide scandal, they will use various ways to subtly distort the public's understanding of these events, and at the same time cover up all kinds of evidence as much as possible. , and spread a large number of false remarks to confuse the public.

Over time, even if there are still some sober people who can remember the truth of the matter, most people will be confused by the operations of the Sakura Country government, which will greatly reduce public opinion in Sakura Country that is unfavorable to the government.

Xiu Xiu was undoubtedly such a victim. Of course, this was also related to the fact that he was in the countryside at the time. His reception of these news messages was too low, so he was easily fooled. It was not his own problem.

Now that he got the truth from Gu Chen, Xiang Xiushu was undoubtedly shocked and unbelievable.

"Now you know why I don't become a consultant for MAT? You know that MAT is an elite team affiliated with the Earth Defense Force. How could I serve such an organization?"
