"Hey, Ah Fu..."
Since there were no outsiders here, Chu Ze didn't care about his pride at all and just clung to her shamelessly:
"Are you trying to say that I have to stick out my tongue and lick your white-stockinged feet before you'll approve my leave?"
"You're impossible. I'll indulge you just this once, but this is the last time..."
"Who told you to lick randomly!"
Fu Xuan showed a disgusted expression, pressing down on Chu Ze's head firmly:
"Isn't your type mature older sisters with long legs? Why are you pestering this seat!"
Chu Ze smiled confidently:
"Because you're both beautiful and cute, and you have a sexy, contrasting vibe in your uniform."
"My type is indeed mature and charming older sisters, but if I meet someone who moves my heart enough, my so-called type will naturally change."
He leaned his head closer and struck while the iron was hot:
"Come on, Ah Fu, join my harem."
"Become my lover now, and you can even have the first seat in the harem."
Fu Xuan was instantly shocked.
Does this man know no shame?
To say such an incredible thing so openly!
"I refuse."
Without any hesitation, Fu Xuan pushed Chu Ze away.
Chu Ze wasn't discouraged; after all, he was used to being rejected.
So he just picked up the conversation:
"Alright, since you won't be my girlfriend, at least approve my leave request."
"That's fine... no, wait, that's not fine either! You almost tricked me!"
Fu Xuan kicked him lightly with her small leg, then said in annoyance:
"A five-year long leave is definitely not possible. The most I can give you is two years."
"After the two-year leave ends, you must return to work immediately, and you will have no more annual leave for the next twenty years."
Two years, huh.
Chu Ze calculated that two years should be enough to build a good relationship with the Astral Express.
Although he didn't know why Elio wanted him to do this, he had to admit that the guy's prophecies were always accurate.
As long as they followed Elio's script, everyone could pursue what they wanted.
And for him, what he wanted most was, of course, a stronger body and a worthy opponent to fight against.
Thinking of this, Chu Ze nodded slightly: "Alright, two years it is."
But then Fu Xuan held up a finger:
"Not so fast. Besides what I just said, I have three more conditions."
"Only if you meet all of them will I approve your leave request."
Chu Ze puffed out his chest:
"No problem. Let alone three conditions, even if it were two, or even just one, I would still strive to achieve them!"
Why are you making it less and less!
Fu Xuan took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the urge to complain:
"Condition one: You must master the operations of the Taiyan Division and pass a small professional exam that I will organize for you."
"Condition two: After passing the exam, you need to recruit at least one qualified assistant and ensure that the assistant can take over some of your work."
"Condition three: You need to learn how to work online so that you can occasionally assist with some official business remotely."
"Only after you meet these three conditions will I approve your leave request."
Chu Ze waved his hand:
"To sum it up: pass the exam, recruit an assistant, and learn to work online... right?"
"Simple! I thought it would be some absurd conditions like a chicken finishing all the rice, a dog licking a plate clean, or a fire burning through a lock."
Fu Xuan put a hand on her hip:
"Don't get too happy yet. I know your learning ability is strong, but the exam I've prepared is not that easy to pass."
"For the sake of ceremony, the exam I've set has a standard process of interview + practical application."
"Especially in the interview Q&A session, you need to have quick reactions and your answers need to be brilliant. Only then will the examiner approve and give you a high score."
An interview Q&A?
Is it like the job interviews from his past life?
Chu Ze's interest was suddenly piqued.
In his past life, he didn't have the chance to attend an interview. In this life, he chose to join the military, where everything was settled with fists.
If he could experience the kind of scenarios that often appeared in short videos, it would be something to look forward to.
...
...
After chatting with Fu Xuan for a while longer, seeing that it was getting late, and confirming that she would be staying in the office tonight, Chu Ze left directly.
He had to admit that the exam Fu Xuan mentioned today, especially the job interview part, had caught his interest.
So, to pass the time while walking, he took out his phone and started sending a message.
[Chu Ze]: You there? Need some interview tips.
He was asking his childhood friend, Herta.
This time, he didn't receive an auto-reply.
In fact, ever since the two of them confirmed their identities last time, he didn't seem to have received many auto-replies.
[Herta]: An interview?
[Herta]: Just pick a planetary-level research report, hand it to them, it's that simple.
[Herta]: If they don't accept it, then add a stellar-level research report.
[Chu Ze]: ...
[Chu Ze]: Give me a method that a normal person can use.
[Herta]: A normal person? Let me go ask.
The other side was silent for a short while.
Then another message came.
[Herta]: 「Transfer to you: 10,000,000 credits」
[Herta]: Simple and crude. If it's not enough, keep adding zeros. They'll agree eventually.
[Chu Ze]: ?
[Chu Ze]: Who taught you this?
[Herta]: Asta, a normal person from the space station.
[Herta]: Is there a problem?
[Chu Ze]: No problem.
[Chu Ze]: Excellent technique, makes my wallet spin. Love from the Xianzhou.
[Herta]: ...?
