129. Personal Assistant
"Very good, it looks like he is about to wake up. Doctor, how is the situation?" Tang Xiao said while standing in the medical center and looking at a 30-year-old man lying in the medical cabin.
The doctor on the side held a portable medical terminal in his hand. After looking at the data, he said, "The vital signs are normal, but there is still some rejection. I will inject him with 0.5 grams of Antominfin, and then he may enter a 4 to 8 hours of sleep. When he wakes up, there will be no problem."
Tang Xiao nodded, came to the glass medical cabin, and gently brushed his palm on the hatch, "You accepted my proposal and were willing to come out to help me. Very good. I need your wisdom to help me deal with the biggest darkness in the galaxy. I don't want to be the one who presides over justice, because since I stood in this position, justice has left me... but..."
He paused and then said, "I can only say that compared to that destined future, it is better to let me replace you. After all... I am who I am."
The eyelids of the people in the medical cabin were trembling violently, and they didn't know whether they heard it or not, but Tang Xiao saw his fists clenching slightly.
"Have a good rest. When you wake up, there will be a whole galaxy waiting for us." After Tang Xiao said the last words, he turned around and patted the shoulder of another oriental man in his early thirties standing behind him and said, "Let's go, let him have a good rest. Those words I just said to him are also to you."
Back in the office, Tang Xiao was sitting in his chair. He looked at the thin, bespectacled, short-haired man in front of him with a sinister expression and smiled and said, "Sit down."
The man sat on the sofa and still said nothing, but his movements were very generous.
"What, what are you thinking about?" Tang Xiao asked with a smile.
"I have forgotten the past, just like everyone who woke up from this mothership. However, I can feel... I feel the unwillingness in my heart. I have lost a lot of things, but..." He raised a hand and looked at it in front of him.
The T-850 on the side brought two cups of black tea and placed one cup in front of the man. Tang Xiao said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to appear in the Legendary Class list of the mothership. Because... the painting style is a bit different."
"I don't have a clear idea of what Legendary Class is, and I don't quite understand what you mean by the style of painting." The man replied calmly, "It would be best if you could explain why I appear in this mothership."
"I can't answer this question for you, but the painting style... I can only say that compared to the existence we are about to face, we still have a long way to go." Tang Xiao's words are very clever. He always emphasizes us, rather than just talking about Ni Yongxiao.
"Do you know what happened to me in the past?"
"There are some basic introductions in the mothership database. You can read it if you really want to. But compared to our current situation, those information are more similar to... past lives for you. The so-called past lives are things that are not helpful and unnecessary for the present." Tang Xiao answered.
"The so-called future challenge is the galactic civil war you mentioned? What do you hope we can do?"
"I hope that all of us can survive and live better." Tang Xiao's expression was very sincere. "Everyone who followed me here in the mothership is family to me. In this universe, nothing is more important than family."
"Family..." The man was a little moved, as if he had thought of something very deep.
"Yes, family. Here now, it is a conversation between family members." Tang Xiao said, "In the future, there may be differences between superiors and subordinates, but I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do, and I will do my best to strive for a better living space for everyone. Because, family."
"At your current age, it's actually not very good to speak in such an old-fashioned way." The man's expression returned to a calm look again, but his tone was much more familiar.
"You need to learn to adapt." Tang Xiao smiled, "There are four members in my newly formed cabinet. Professor Chi Jianjun is responsible for scientific research. The one who is still lying in the hospital is responsible for advising me. Francis-Underwood is responsible for politics and diplomacy, and you are my personal assistant. I need your help, okay?"
Tang Xiao said, picking up the teacup in front of him and raising it towards him.
The man hesitated for a moment, then smiled smartly, picked up his tea cup and touched it with Tang Xiao, "Okay, I will do my best, manager."
"Congratulations to you, my new cabinet member. Next, use your strength, Mr. Ni Yongxiao." Tang Xiao drank all the black tea in the cup.
Ni Yongxiao, an unexpected name.
Although Tang Xiao understands that the Legendary figure list is all characters from movies and games. Those who appeared before include Cun Te, Francis, Yuri-Orlov. These people all have their own reasons, and Tang Xiao also believes that they can also be at home in this world.
But Ni Yongxiao is really surprising.
Because he is just the son of a gang boss and graduated from the accounting department of a prestigious university. Such an experience is really too small compared to the situation that is about to face a super civil war sweeping the entire galaxy.
But Ni Yongxiao is really outstanding. After his father died due to gang fighting, he returned to China and inherited the gang that was already in turmoil and on the verge of collapse.
After that, he quickly stabilized the morale of his own army with thunderous means, and then attacked like Blitz, destroying other Four Great Familiess one after another in a short period of time. In a few months, he brought his power to the top, showing his true character as a hero.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiao chose him to be his assistant. On the one hand, it's because although Ni Yongxiao is vicious and vicious, he is an extremely affectionate person. As long as he can be recognized, his loyalty is completely unquestionable.
On the other hand, serving as an assistant would also allow him to test his actual abilities and avoid being the one on his own, lest he be crushed to pieces on the huge stage of the galaxy.
Of course, the most important thing is...Ni Yongxiao is so handsome! Tang Xiao thinks that Ni Yongxiao's looks are second only to his own, right? (.`)
What's more, the person Tang Xiao chose to take charge of the overall situation in his cabinet was not Ni Yongxiao, but the one who was still lying in the hospital.

PS: I estimate that releasing Ni Yongxiao will be more controversial, but I still insist on it. Because I hope there will be more oriental faces in Fourth Civilization, just like Donnie Yen in "Rogue One".
