Who is Playing the Love Development Game in Gundam

A week flew by quickly, and under the bright sun, the shadow cast by the previous director's actions had little impact on He Kui.

"He Kui! Did you hear?" 

As soon as he entered the room, Shi He excitedly exclaimed.

"Heard what?"

"Our director! He was secretly arrested for dereliction of duty!"

"Dereliction of duty? That's sudden."

"Yeah! I heard that agents from the police found evidence linking him to that director from Clark Design Bureau, involving abuse of power and corruption. Unfortunately, the evidence isn't sufficient, so he probably won't be charged with treason."

"What's the reaction from the Sara faction?"

"Most of them are cheering! Apparently, he's offended quite a few people from the Sara faction at some point. As for others who took bribes, they've been called in for 'tea' as well."

"I see."

So, it seems he had been overly reckless. However, reflecting on that director's arrogant demeanor, He Kui wasn't surprised. What era was it that someone still acted like a villain? His likability was probably quite low.

As for why Shi He had initially thought he was a good person, it was likely because she had been so focused on her experiments that she wasn't familiar with these political dynamics.

Just as He Kui was contemplating, his phone suddenly rang.

"Sule, what's up?"

"Did you hear about the beam weapon team director?"

Sule's tone was oddly mixed, sounding both happy and somewhat regretful.

"I just heard."

"Your A-Level promotion is almost finalized. Considering your achievements in beam weapon development, you are now the top candidate to replace him as the head of the beam weapon development team."

"What?!"

"Of course, not right now. To become the director, you still need to fully achieve A-Level and demonstrate corresponding results, as well as engage in several academic debates with others working on beam weapons. As for the Moon mission, you won't need to follow me anymore; starting the day after tomorrow, you will be the deputy director of the beam weapon development team."

"Ah?"

The sudden good news hit He Kui like a whirlwind. He hadn't expected to be promoted so quickly. After becoming the director, he could still interact with Sule, likely making it even more convenient than when he was with the radar team.

"Happy? Make some extra dishes tomorrow!"

"Sure, but why so sudden?"

He Kui cautiously inquired. If everything was going this smoothly, he suspected there had to be someone pushing for it behind the scenes.

"What do you think? Just keep doing well, and maybe you'll meet your idol soon."

"...Alright."

He Kui didn't take Sule's teasing to heart; instead, a genuine excitement bubbled up inside him, akin to seeing an idol.

In recent times, his skills had improved, and he had gained greater control over intricate operations. All this felt like the culmination of countless days and nights of hard work, regardless of the weather.

Now, he could produce two Dean units in a single day, and once he became the director, he might gain access to more design schematics and create even more complex projects.

However, he still needed at least another year to accumulate enough experience to reach A-Level, not to mention how long it might take for his relationship with Sule to deepen.

He also had concerns about his piloting skills potentially lagging behind. With his rising position, he might need to travel like Sule, and while there would be security, his life ultimately needed to be in his own hands. If he could build a good relationship with Lacus, he could start his gifting strategy to win her favor.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing He Kui emerge from the room with a content expression, Shi He asked curiously.

"We'll be able to work together soon!"

"Really?!"

At her words, Shi He sprang from the sofa, her eyes shining brightly as she bounded towards He Kui, her long brown hair sweeping across his face, sweet and soft.

"Are you the director now?"

"Just the deputy director for now, but if the Moon mission goes well, I should have a high chance of getting promoted."

"Yay!"

Shi He tightly embraced He Kui.

"We won't sleep tonight!"

With the good news, Shi He's usual shyness was temporarily overshadowed, her fair skin taking on a rosy hue.

"What?!"

While Shi He was still in a state of excitement, far away in the capital of PLANT, April City, Lacus stood in the courtyard, gazing at the endless ocean and the sky above, where only yellowish clouds resembling cotton floated gently, soft yet somewhat deceptive.

"The news has been passed on to him. It looks good; he seems quite happy."

Sule's voice came through her communicator.

"Sule, have you developed feelings for him?" 

Though it was a question, Lacus's tone carried a sense of certainty.

"Of course not!"

Hearing Sule's busy tone, Lacus couldn't help but smile.

She still had her old self, but could she truly trust him? Would her feelings affect her judgment?

These were things that would take time to prove.

"What do you think, Little Blue?"

Lacus playfully poked the Haro in front of her, which was noticeably more sluggish than the others.

"Haro."

"Such a dullard."

The earlier sharpness seemed like an illusion. The girl's cherry lips pouted, exuding a natural charm.

Was that person still her fan? That was uncertain. He hadn't shown up at the concert but had been sending gifts, and the Haros he sent were the usual kinds. The h

igh-tech ones Sule brought were impressive but lacked versatility. If only they could integrate that into the designs!
