Person in Charge

"Ah~ba~ah~ba~"

Guo Yi's mouth opened, and he unconsciously uttered a few words.

Afterward, Guo Yi's face flushed. He couldn't stand the awkward silence.

With a crestfallen expression, he looked pleadingly at Elder Zhou and the others.

However, Elder Zhou and the others smiled encouragingly and shook their heads at him.

Guo Yi was sweating profusely. He turned his head to look at the crowd below again.

A shut-in, unaccustomed to interacting with people and who had never had much contact with them, suddenly found himself standing before thousands of people.

Looking at their gazes, he always felt incredibly awkward and uncomfortable, instinctively wanting to escape.

This was exactly how Guo Yi felt now.

Stepping onto the stage had taken all his courage. Standing on the stage now, his mind was completely blank; he had no idea what to say.

As for being able to chat with Elder Zhou and the others without any barriers, it was partly because they shared common interests, and partly because their exchanges were private, not in front of a large audience, waiting for his speech.

At the same time, Guo Yi had always regarded Elder Zhou and the others as idols.

In front of his idols, a shut-in could go wild and transform into a terrifying ancient beast.

Facing Ostrich and the others was different because Guo Yi had spent some time interacting with them through the communication channel.

And with Ostrich's boisterous personality, Guo Yi found himself unconsciously drawn in while bickering with him.

Only then could he face them directly and communicate without barriers. Guo Yi even dared to tease them.

Therefore, Guo Yi was truly helpless at this moment, even vaguely regretting coming here.

How comfortable it was to stay in his original place, free and unrestrained…

Why did he have to come here to give a speech and suffer?

It was a pity that he had already been forced into a corner. Once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back; there was nowhere to run.

Finally, Guo Yi had a sudden impulse. He gritted his teeth, his face turning red, and shouted at everyone, "H~hello, my~name is Guo Yi~ Uh~ that's it for now~"

After speaking, Guo Yi didn't look back. Without a word or a goodbye, he lowered his head and ran back to his dormitory.

Elder Zhou watched Guo Yi's retreating figure, unable to decide whether to laugh or cry. "That was too pathetic."

However, the only comfort was that Guo Yi had finally said one sentence.

He hadn't run away without saying anything.

Shi Dafan, chuckling, nudged Ostrich. "Look at Doraemon, isn't he just like an ostrich?

Covering his face, thinking others can't see him~ Hehe~

He has this day too!"

"Ostrich Doraemon!?"

He Zhijun also looked helplessly at Guo Yi's retreating figure, smiled, and shook his head. Then he walked onto the stage. "Alright, you're dismissed for now. Free activity.

Further work arrangements will be announced later."

The crowd dispersed in small groups, chatting and laughing as they discussed their shy leader.

No one mocked him, nor did anyone despise him. They were just surprised that Guo Yi was unexpectedly shy.

The future might be very interesting…

—

Guo Yi's dormitory.

Because of his status, he was assigned a single room.

A small single room: a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, and a bathroom.

Nothing else.

The entire space could comfortably seat seven or eight people if squeezed.

Compared to other dormitories, it was considered a luxurious room.

For this reason, only four people came to Guo Yi's dormitory together.

He Zhijun, Elder Zhou, Elder Huang, and a female secretary dressed in an OL outfit but looking valiant and heroic.

The others wandered off first, exploring the factory that exuded a sense of sci-fi.

"Ch~"

The door to Guo Yi's dormitory opened. He Zhijun and the other three saw Guo Yi buried under the covers like an ostrich.

"Alright, don't be shy."

He Zhijun stifled a laugh and patted Guo Yi's body.

Guo Yi lifted the covers, his face flushed, sweat beading on his forehead. He looked unhappily at He Zhijun and questioned, "Why did you suddenly want me to give a speech in front of so many people?"

"Can't you tell me in advance!"

He Zhijun looked at Guo Yi's embarrassed expression and asked casually, "If I told you in advance, would you have gone up?"

"..." Guo Yi was stunned, then with a wronged look, he called out to Elder Zhou, "Elder Zhou~"

Elder Zhou looked at Guo Yi's expression, which was helpless yet conflicted, and said speechlessly, "Alright, stop struggling.

You'll have to face it sooner or later, just get used to it."

"..."

Hearing Elder Zhou's words, Guo Yi instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

"Ha~"

He Zhijun chuckled again, then dropped his smiling expression and said seriously to Guo Yi, "Back to the main topic.

You are the leader here. Everyone is waiting for you to make the production plan and work arrangements!"

"Huh?" Guo Yi looked bewildered, pointed to his nose, and asked them, "Wait, wasn't I here to do research?

Why am I responsible for everyone else's arrangements too?"

"It's not that you're responsible for everyone else's arrangements," He Zhijun shook his head and explained to Guo Yi, "I'll be in charge of the battleships, Gundams, and those exoskeleton armored personnel.

Elder Zhou will be responsible for research-related matters.

This is Old Huang, he's in charge of logistics management.

He's responsible for the personnel involved in Gundam and Space Battleship manufacturing.

And this is Gao Linlin, the head of the secretariat department, responsible for your personal and professional matters, special contacts, and so on.

Simply put, if it's not something we're responsible for, you can find her.

We will each help you manage a part.

But you will lead the overall direction, so you need to give us a general plan for our respective parts.

This way, we can make more detailed arrangements based on your plan."

Guo Yi frowned and thought for a moment, "Uh, so you mean I just need to provide the general direction?"

"Mm."

After hearing He Zhijun's words, Guo Yi hit his palm with his fist and, without thinking, quickly arranged, "That's simple. The battleship and Gundam personnel should start attending classes.

Elder Zhou and the others can get the research menu from Doggy and research whatever they fancy.

As for, uh, Old Huang, you just arrange the production of Gundams and battleships."

Then Guo Yi glanced at Gao Linlin, his face flushed, and hesitantly asked in a low voice, "Can I also find you for physiological matters?"

"..."

Gao Linlin clenched her fist, sneered, and then said to Guo Yi, "Let me introduce myself.

I was previously assigned to the Special Operations First Line Combat Team as the team leader.

So if you need me to help you solve your physiological needs, no problem.

However, I will only help you solve them in one way.

That is, I'll drag you onto the ring for a physical fight, letting you vent your excess hormones and energy on the battlefield!"

Guo Yi quickly waved his hands, shaking his head and hastily explaining, "No, no, no, I didn't mean you, I meant, can you help me contact someone who can help me?

Like, a female action star from a certain island nation's adult films...

That's my dream!

Besides, you can't beat me... and I don't hit women..."

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Meanwhile, He Zhijun, Elder Zhou, and the others watched the two young people with smiles, almost as if they were holding melon seeds and cracking them.

They weren't being nosy; they knew Guo Yi was just all talk, with lustful thoughts but no courage.

As for Gao Linlin, being from special operations, she was an expert in micro-expressions.

With careful observation, it was easy to discern people's personalities.

Not to mention she had also read the personality analysis report on Guo Yi.

Therefore, Gao Linlin knew Guo Yi wasn't intentionally teasing her.

However, this didn't mean she would agree to help Guo Yi realize his "vile" dream: "Dream on~"

"..."

Guo Yi scratched the back of his head, unsure how to continue the conversation with Gao Linlin, and could only awkwardly look at He Zhijun and the others.

He Zhijun's mouth twitched, and he helplessly helped Guo Yi out of the awkward situation, "Alright, stop messing around and let's talk business."

Then, he continued to ask Guo Yi, "Regarding your arrangement just now, I wanted to ask, who will be teaching the Space Battleship personnel?"

Xiao Geng and his team could help you train in piloting Gundams, but what about the Space Battleship?"

Elder Zhou, who was following along, also asked, "Since you want to go into space, what research priorities are highest?

And what can we help you research!"

After Elder Zhou finished, Old Huang didn't wait for Guo Yi to answer and continued, "Production isn't a problem, but how to produce them is.

We're not you; we don't understand anything about how to produce battleships and Gundams..."

Following Old Huang, Gao Linlin immediately added, "You don't need to worry about the salaries of everyone in the factory, but purchasing other supplies will cost money.

Therefore, you need to allocate funds to each department.

I personally suggest prioritizing the areas you need most and are most critical!"

Hearing the four people's questions, Guo Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, regretting coming here even more!
