And the timing of Xia Chujian going out to eat and returning coincided astonishingly with the sudden appearance and disappearance of that powerful Exotic Beast magnetic field curve.
Huo Yushen's lips twitched.
Well, there was the evidence.
It probably wasn't Xia Chujian herself, but it was definitely related to her.
What did this girl bring back after going out? Huo Yushen stood up and paced back and forth in his office, then used the internal communicator to call Meng Guanghui.
"Marshal Huo, what can I do for you?"
"Xia Chujian got such good grades on the National Higher Education Entrance Examination, have you considered going to Guiyuan Star Mulan City to celebrate with her in person?"
"I'd love to! Marshal Huo! Can you approve a few days of leave! I..."
"Okay, I'll give you three days off. Go to Guiyuan Star Mulan City immediately, stay at Xia Chujian's house, and help her manage her National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet."
Meng Guanghui: "..."
He said blankly, "Marshal Huo, I'm not good at hosting banquets..."
Huo Yushen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Meng Guanghui with a slightly cold gaze, as if he couldn't bear to hear a "no."
Meng Guanghui felt a jolt in his heart, straightened up, and saluted, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Huo Yushen's expression softened slightly, and he said, "You definitely can't do it alone, bring more helpers."
"We also have people in our bureau who are good at organizing events. You can take them with you on official business."
Hearing this, Meng Guanghui was no longer afraid.
He immediately became animated and said, "Don't worry, Marshal Huo! I'll go pick people right away!"
After saying that, he realized something was wrong and said, "Marshal Huo, do you know that Chujian's family is holding a National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet in these three days?"
Huo Yushen said, "I don't know."
Meng Guanghui "ah"-ed, confused, "Then what am I going to do? They haven't even invited anyone yet..."
Huo Yushen gave him a death stare and said coldly, "Letting you go is to have you lead the timing of their invitation."
Meng Guanghui: "..."
Huo Yushen wanted to replace him at this point, his displeased voice even colder, and said directly, "Go find Kang Shanxing, and let him go."
Meng Guanghui quickly refused, "Marshal Huo! Chujian is my subordinate! Not Shan Xing's subordinate!"
"Don't worry, I know what to do!"
At the last moment, he had a flash of inspiration and understood that what Huo Yushen really wanted to do was to control the guest list of Xia Chujian's family banquet! Was he investigating Xia Chujian's social circle? Why was Marshal Huo investigating the Xia Family? Meng Guanghui muttered in his heart, but his movements were not slow at all.
He quickly consulted Kang Shanxing for advice, figured out how to handle the matter, and then asked for ten reserve personnel from the Intelligence Division under Kang Shanxing to go to Guiyuan Star Mulan City with him.
Meng Guanghui was the Director of the Action Division of the Special Security Bureau.
Most of his subordinates were like him, more courageous than wise.
Thinking that Huo Yushen had placed Xia Chujian in his department, rather than in Kang Shanxing's Intelligence Division, whose cunning added up to more than half of the entire Special Security Bureau, it was clear that Huo Yushen also felt that Xia Chujian's aura was compatible with their department, right?
Meng Guanghui pondered all the way, his back straightening a little more.
He took his people and traveled overnight on an Interstellar Spaceship, finally arriving at the Branch Station of the Special Security Bureau in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star at eight o'clock in the morning.
At this time, it was only eight o'clock in the evening on Beichen Star.
Meng Guanghui reported his safety to Huo Yushen.
As a result, Huo Yushen said, "I'm in office A100 at the Guiyuan Star Mulan City Branch Station."
Meng Guanghui: "!!!"
What was going on?! How did Marshal Huo arrive first?! Meng Guanghui was a little smarter this time. When he went to see Huo Yushen, he asked his colleagues at the Branch Station.
It turned out that Huo Yushen had arrived at the Guiyuan Star Mulan City Branch Station of the Special Security Bureau five and a half hours ago!
Wasn't that when he had just taken his colleagues to board the Interstellar Spaceship?! So Marshal Huo took the Bat-style Fighter Jet and used Space Warp to get here in less than half an hour...
Why didn't he take him with him! Meng Guanghui roared in his chest, but when he met Huo Yushen, he was more obedient than a little lamb.
Meng Guanghui asked with a smile, "Marshal Huo, why are you here too?"
Huo Yushen didn't even look at him, and said, "Do I need to ask Colonel Meng for instructions on what I do?"
Meng Guanghui quickly shook his head, "Of course not, of course not!"
After shaking his head, he suddenly came to his senses and said with pleasant surprise, "Marshal Huo! Have I been officially promoted to Senior Colonel?!"
Huo Yushen then looked up at him, his face expressionless, and took out a black file bag, pushing it towards him.
Meng Guanghui hugged the black file bag in his arms, grinning from ear to ear.
Huo Yushen said, "Your Senior Colonel's regular uniform, combat suit, and dress uniform are all prepared here. You can go to the logistics department of the Branch Station to collect them."
Then he took out another file bag and said, "This is Xia Chujian's Major rank approval document."
"Because of her Special Security Bureau Special Operations Personnel status, I applied for a security clearance for her, so her information is temporarily confidential in the Military system, and ordinary people can't find it."
"But she should receive all due benefits, as well as two sets each of her regular uniform, combat suit, and dress uniform. Also, collect four sets each of her First Lieutenant uniform."
Meng Guanghui was both happy and sad, muttering, "I've been in the military for more than ten years, and I'm only a Senior Colonel."
"This girl is not even a year in, and she's already a Major..."
"Marshal Huo, if one day her rank is higher than mine, can I still be her leader?"
Huo Yushen said calmly, "If her rank is higher than yours, she will be your leader."
Meng Guanghui: "!!!"
He immediately felt an unspeakable sense of crisis.
A former subordinate becoming his leader, where would his face be?!
Meng Guanghui immediately said, "Marshal Huo! I will work hard! Continue to perform meritorious service! And strive not to be surpassed by my subordinates!"
Huo Yushen lowered his head expressionlessly, indicating that Meng Guanghui could leave.
Meng Guanghui left Huo Yushen's office at the Branch Station and immediately went to the logistics supervisor of the Branch Station to collect his and Xia Chujian's various uniforms.
As a result, he discovered that Xia Chujian not only had two sets of various uniforms belonging to a Special Security Bureau Major, but also two sets of various uniforms belonging to a Fourth Interstellar Fleet Major pilot!
In addition, she also had several sets of her First Lieutenant uniform, which had not been collected before, but were now issued to him.
But as far as he knew, wasn't Xia Chujian's identity as a "Fourth Interstellar Fleet pilot" fake?
Despite his doubts, Meng Guanghui didn't dare to ask Huo Yushen again.
He secretly sent a message to Kang Shanxing to inquire.
Kang Shanxing then told him that Xia Chujian's identity as a Fourth Interstellar Fleet pilot had been confirmed.
Moreover, Ye Chenfeng, the cunning Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet, was now insisting that Xia Chujian was his soldier and refused to transfer her military status out of the Fourth Interstellar Fleet system...
So Xia Chujian was now a popular candidate being fought over by two departments, and she had formal positions in both departments.
Meng Guanghui felt like his Crown of the Head was about to explode.
How much had he missed regarding Xia Chujian's affairs!
So he talked to Kang Shanxing all the way, and finally understood everything that had happened to Xia Chujian since he left Kanli Star and went to that distant Miniature Planet to mine.
Looking at her illustrious military achievements and the various records she had broken, Meng Guanghui even felt a strange feeling.
That was, if Xia Chujian was his leader, it might not be bad? Following this kind of person, fighting would be quite exciting! When he realized what he was thinking, Meng Guanghui slapped himself twice.
He was really too unpromising! Too unlike a leader! He had to continue to work hard to continue leading outstanding subordinates like Xia Chujian...
Meng Guanghui did some mental preparation for himself before sending a video call invitation to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian was still in bed at this time and hadn't gotten up yet.
She had only returned around ten o'clock last night.
After washing up and going to bed, she slept straight until nine o'clock in the morning and still hadn't woken up.
It was Seven Lù, the little Lucky Cat smart pendant, that started the wake-up service.
"Master, your superior is inviting a video call."
"Master, your superior Meng Guanghui is requesting a video call."
"Master, your superior's superior Huo Yushen is requesting a video call."
Xia Chujian was still drowsy for the first two sentences, and she was too lazy to move even after hearing them.
Only the last sentence made Xia Chujian Clear-Minded instantly.
She suddenly sat up from the bed, raked her fingers through her hair, grabbed the home clothes from the bedside, and then picked up the Quantum Optical Brain Wristwatch Carrier she had placed on the bedside table.
Then, she quickly clicked on the jumping avatar of Huo Yushen.
A virtual display screen appeared in front of her. Xia Chujian selected a virtual background and then used the Quantum Optical Brain's camera to check her appearance.
Fortunately, she looked refreshed after a sleep and not sloppy.
When Huo Yushen appeared on the virtual display screen, Xia Chujian quickly said, "Marshal Huo, good morning! Oh, no, it should be evening over there? Is there anything urgent you need me for?"
Huo Yushen looked at the tuft of hair sticking up on Xia Chujian's head and paused, forcing himself to look away, and said, "Your leader Meng Guanghui personally came to congratulate you on your National Higher Education Entrance Examination results and wants to help you organize your National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet."
Xia Chujian was baffled and said, "Marshal Huo, of course I welcome my leader congratulating me."
"But I have no plans to host a banquet."
Huo Yushen: "No, you do."
Xia Chujian: "… No, listen to my explanation, I don't."
Huo Yushen: "No, you do."
Before Xia Chujian could refute again, Huo Yushen said, "This is your leader's good intention, don't discourage him."
"He asked me for three days of leave and specially brought ten helpers to organize your National Higher Education Entrance Examination banquet."
"Don't worry, the Special Security Bureau will reimburse all the banquet expenses."
Xia Chujian originally wanted to insist on not having guests, but as soon as she heard that all expenses would be reimbursed, she immediately changed her tune and said, "Oh, how embarrassing is this?!"
"I'll go and draft a guest list right away… By the way, Marshal Huo, what is the reimbursement limit? How many guests can I invite?"
Huo Yushen said calmly, "Invite as many as you want, remember to give the list to your leader, so he can count the number of people, make a budget, and then submit a report to pre-authorize the expenses."
Xia Chujian nodded repeatedly, feeling delighted: "Okay, okay! No problem!"
"My leader is so good to me! He even considered this for me!"
Xia Chujian praised endlessly: "My family is poor, and I didn't plan to spend money on this empty show. I just wanted my family to sit together for a meal, and then work to earn some money to buy a Interstellar Spaceship ticket to go to Beichen Star…"
Huo Yushen listened, and even his best self-restraint was about to explode.
His temper was not good to begin with, and at this moment, the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
"Xia Chujian, are you trying to play poor in front of me because you think I can't check your Digital Bank account balance?"
Xia Chujian: "!!!"
I was careless…
She justified herself, "Marshal Huo, only a little bit of the money in that account is mine!"
"The 50 million from each of you three, it was agreed that it was a deposit, and I will definitely return it, maybe even with interest."
"Although I, Xia Chujian, love money, I earn it in a proper way!"
Huo Yushen said coldly, "Is that so? You also have Su Buyan's salary, the Special Security Bureau's salary, and the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's salary."
Xia Chujian "ah"ed: "Why is the Fourth Interstellar Fleet also paying me a salary? Aren't I just temporarily attached there?"
Huo Yushen's face became even more gloomy.
Ye Chenfeng, that shameless guy, actually blocked Xia Chujian's military status and wouldn't transfer her out…
If Ye Chenfeng didn't sign, Huo Yushen really couldn't do anything for the time being.
He just raised his eyes and said, "Take it if they give it to you, it's not ill-gotten gains, is it?"
Xia Chujian lowered her head to look at the salary transferred to her Quantum Optical Brain account.
Sure enough, besides the five thousand from Su Buyan, there were two more, one for 110,000 Beichen Coin, and one for 10,000 Beichen Coin.
Xia Chujian was surprised: "Marshal Huo, why is my Special Security Bureau salary eleven thousand?!"
Because in the payer's name field, eleven thousand came from the Special Security Bureau's Finance Department.
One thousand came from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet's Finance Department.
"Marshal Huo, didn't Colonel Kang tell you? I advanced one million nine hundred thousand Beichen Coins from my Special Security Bureau salary to pay someone's medical bills."
"Colonel Kang said that it would be deducted from my salary every month... so I wouldn't have a salary..."
Huo Yushen said, "He told me, but you made a great contribution to the Special Security Bureau, and the bureau gave you a bonus of two million. It just so happened to cover the debt."
"The remaining ten thousand, along with your salary for this month, will be issued together."
Xia Chujian felt like she had found money on the street, her eyebrows dancing as she said, "I really got a reward?! What contribution did I make?!"
Huo Yushen looked at her, thinking, saving the lives of Meng Guanghui's group, not to mention that everyone's Mecha was upgraded after returning from Eze Star, aren't these all merits?
Of course, if Xia Chujian wanted to hide it, Huo Yushen wouldn't say it directly.
He just said perfunctorily, "A Longevity Flying Fish is worth far more than that price."
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue. "Looks like I still lost out. Oh, right, wasn't my salary five thousand? How did it become ten thousand?"
Huo Yushen said, "You are now a Major, and your salary has been adjusted according to the School-level. It's the same in the Fourth Interstellar Fleet."
Xia Chujian was very pleased.
She was now working three jobs, earning twenty-five thousand Beichen Coins a month.
However, she was also very clear that the ten thousand from the Fourth Interstellar Fleet could stop at any time.
Only fifteen thousand Beichen Coins were guaranteed.
This month's income should be enough for her to go to university on Beichen Star, right? Xia Chujian had never been to Beichen Star, but she knew how high the cost of living was on Beichen Star from the Star Network...
Although her university tuition was waived, the school also gave her a full scholarship.
But the full scholarship was not directly given to her, but directly credited to her school account, paying for her school accommodation and three meals a day.
She had to pay for the rest of her daily expenses herself.
Thinking of this, Xia Chujian asked Huo Yushen a little embarrassedly, "Marshal Huo, can I still get a salary when I go to university?"
"If I can get a salary, do I still need to guarantee a certain amount of working hours?"
