"How is the situation on the moon?"
"…"
Hoss fell silent upon hearing this, merely raising his gaze to Meiling, who was still standing behind He Kui.
"That…"
As Meiling met Hoss's gaze and was about to say something, she was interrupted by He Kui.
"It's fine, Meiling can stay here."
Hearing He Kui's words, a smile appeared on Meiling's lips, while Hoss's mouth twitched slightly.
He hadn't expected that He Kui would actually take such liberties with his secretary.
Speaking of which, hadn't he witnessed He Kui's history of flirting? But since the boss had said so, Hoss decided not to hide anything further.
"The employees for the lunar branch have been selected. Most volunteered, but five miners are unwilling, which means we'll need to recruit again."
"Let's recruit again; we still have time."
The moon is the frontline of conflict, and not everyone has the courage to work there.
It's like being sent on a business trip to a frontline city; most people wouldn't be willing.
Even though He Kui offered a very high salary.
"There will always be someone willing; just lower the requirements a bit."
"Alright."
"Now, here are the current accounts for our company."
As Hoss spoke, he transferred the documents to He Kui's computer.
"Thank you."
"And be careful on the moon; do as I say."
"The Atlantic Federation has a base on the moon, so there will definitely be battles, and there might even be an ace."
He Kui reiterated his warning.
"Ace?"
"Moonlit Mad Dog."
"Isn't she from the Eurasian Federation?"
Hoss clearly recognized the Moonlit Mad Dog, and a serious expression crossed his face.
Of course, there was also excitement.
Excitement in the face of a master.
He Kui couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"He might show up there; it's just a rumor."
"Got it."
Hoss nodded.
Understanding He Kui's meaning, he wouldn't casually disclose anything.
"Well, I'll take my leave now."
After watching Hoss leave, He Kui turned his attention to Meiling, who was still standing dazedly behind him.
He quietly reached out, pulling the petite girl onto his lap.
"Wait!"
Feeling that their current position was indeed a bit inappropriate, Meiling struggled to get up from He Kui's body.
"Someone will come! Let go of me!"
Shyness and panic mixed together, causing Meiling to struggle even more fiercely.
"I locked the door when Hoss left."
He Kui certainly wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
"Even so… we can't do this here, right?"
Sitting in He Kui's embrace and looking at his usual work desk, Meiling felt that her role as a secretary was increasingly veering into embarrassing territory.
"Isn't it nice here?"
Saying this, He Kui placed Meiling on his desk, kissing her while his hands were not idle, gently kneading her uniform.
"The window…"
"It's one-way, but if Meiling is concerned…"
He Kui said, pressing a finger under the desk, instantly transforming the window into a mode that blocked out sunlight.
At that moment, the enclosed office automatically lit up with soft white lights.
The already intimate atmosphere became even more enchanting.
As He Kui leaned in again, Meiling found herself without any other reason to refuse and was kissed once more.
At the same time, their bodies pressed closely together.
Meiling felt a deep sense of satisfaction brewing quietly within her, making her willingly sink into this moment.
However, even though it seemed they could take things further at any moment, before long, He Kui's hands came to a stop.
Without He Kui's warmth, Meiling, feeling dissatisfied, pressed herself against him again, seeking his warmth.
"This isn't right."
He Kui could sense the girl's initiative, but no matter how beastly he was, he couldn't just take away her precious first time here.
"Hmm."
Hearing He Kui's words, Meiling, who was gradually calming down, looked at her current position hanging on He Kui and instinctively released her grip as if she had been shocked.
In fact, Old Hoss was still working at his company, so it wouldn't be a big deal if he found out about these personnel and financial matters.
Moreover, after today's experience, He Kui was certain that Meiling wouldn't spill anything.
Whether it was about what just happened or the matters they had just discussed.
"Shall we head back then?"
He Kui smiled gently, holding Meiling's slightly cold hand.
"Hmm."
Feeling He Kui's warmth, Meiling didn't pull away; instead, she tightened her grip a little.
Her sister liked him too, but she didn't want to back down on this matter.
The past few days had passed in a calm manner.
Amidst the vigilance regarding news from the Atlantic Federation, Shihe once again found He Kui in the secret warehouse.
"Every time I come here, I want to say, you really have collected a lot of things."
Shihe looked at the warehouse, where parts were piled up like a hamster's stash, astonished.
"How did you transport all this?"
"Previously, it was done via remote control."
"Now, a lot of research is conducted here; it's fine to bring a little in."
He Kui smiled.
He had sufficient funding, and damaging some equipment wouldn't raise any eyebrows.
"But these things can't be exposed."
Shihe frowned.
Indeed, if He Kui dared to use these materials, it wouldn't take a day for the Special Operations Team to come after him.
And if he didn't use them, keeping them here was pointless.
"It's fine."
He Kui said, looking at the newly created Aegis in the warehouse.
"What is that?"
Shihe followed He Kui's gaze and asked softly.
"You should know, Shihe."
He Kui smiled, pulling his gaze back from Aegis.
That's right, even though he hadn't seen Aegis's true form and didn't know the specifics about Pallas, they had jointly created Aegis 1.0.
He was very familiar with the functions it carried.
"This robot has a powerful radar receiver, which can pair perfectly with our radar. You've been in the radar room controlling her, right?"
Shihe murmured in shock.
It was a true revelation of He Kui's capabilities.
After all, this remote control technology was about five years ahead of the world.
"Something like that."
"But can this machine withstand a neutron disruptor?"
"Very difficult, which is why I added two nodes on Earth and Boyaz."
"Where is your robot now?"
Shihe asked in shock, her voice low.
"Both are on Earth."
"On Earth?"
Seeing the growing confusion in Shihe's eyes, He Kui decided not to keep her in suspense and explained everything to her.
Given their trust, there was no need to hide Aegis's existence from them.
As for Sulei, they could discuss that slowly in bed later.
