Star Rebirth: Kidnapping the Crazy Boss

Kongyu lay on the sofa, turned his head and looked at the rising sun outside the window (artificial light source).

Huo Yan on the side fell into a deep sleep again.

When Kong Yu packed up and went out for exercise, he found that Major General Huo was still sleeping. So on the last day on the No. 1 edge planet, Kong Yu was shocked to find that Huo Yan, the youngest major general in the federation, was actually a lazy sleeper and even had a bad temper when he woke up.

In the morning, Bian Xiaoxiao came several times with documents, but there was no sign of her major general. When she asked Kong Yu, she found out that he was still sleeping, and then he went back with a puzzled look on his face.

Based on the friendship that they were temporarily living in the same room, Kong Yu could only temporarily take on Xiang Nan's responsibility to wake up Major General Huo. However, who would have thought that as soon as he opened his mouth, Major General Huo turned around and left him with a back of his head that was perfectly shaped even down to the hair.

As for how Kong Yu discovered that he was in a bad mood when waking up, it was because Major General Huo's face turned cold after he took a sip of black coffee. Although his face had not been very bright since early in the morning, Kong Yu was able to keenly notice that he was unhappy.

And an hour later, this guy was still sitting behind his desk with an irritable look on his face that said, "Don't mess with me."

Kong Yu found it a little funny. So far, he had discovered several things about Major General Huo that should not be considered shortcomings but rather very approachable traits, such as his love for spicy food, his tendency to stay in bed late, and his bad temper when waking up.

Kong Yu doesn't like drinking coffee, but the coffee beans sent by the Third Army Secretariat are said to be collected near the Yonghen battlefield. The ground coffee has a unique aroma. Kong Yu tasted it once and thought it was good, so he couldn't help but make a cup.

As a result, the first time I made it, I didn’t control the amount. After I poured myself a cup, there was still a lot left in the coffee machine. It was a bit of a waste.

Kong Yu thought about it, picked up a disposable paper cup beside him, filled half a cup and added milk into it.

Kong Yu was walking towards the office with a cup of coffee in each hand when he met a woman with shoulder-length hair. Kong Yu knew her. She seemed to be a civilian staff member of the Logistics Department of the Third Division. She was responsible for some of Huo Yan's daily affairs in the past two days.

Just as Kong Yu was about to walk around the woman and leave, a slender arm blocked his way. "The Major General only drinks black coffee produced in Southern Mercury. It's better not to give this to him."

Kong Yu was already a little unhappy about being stopped so suddenly, but when he heard the woman's matter-of-fact words, the corner of his mouth curled up, "Oh, the Flame Army is so poor that they can't even afford the military expenses, and yet they are so picky. They only drink black coffee produced in South Mercury. It's up to you whether you want to drink it or not!"

Kong Yu glanced coldly at the short-haired woman, walked around her and went straight into Huo Yan's office.

Tan Tan scratched his head as he watched Kong Yu leave without a word. "She wasn't trying to say, 'The Major General isn't drinking it, so don't waste it.' She knew the coffee was snatched from the palms of the coconut cats on the Yonghen battlefield by her division commander the moment she smelled it. Those cats, though no taller than an adult's calf, were incredibly fierce."

Huo Yan was staring at the documents in front of him when a cup of coffee with a rich aroma appeared at his hand.

Huo Yan frowned. He could smell milk in the coffee at once. Compared with coffee with sugar and milk, he preferred the bitter black coffee, where he could taste the original flavor of coffee.

Kong Yu placed the coffee next to Huo Yan, then returned to the sofa and sat down without saying a word. As for whether Huo Yan drank it or not, it was up to him to drink it or not.

Huo Yan looked up at Kong Yu with his back to him, raised his eyebrows and didn't understand what was wrong with the young people nowadays. Why did they go out to pour coffee and come back in a cold mood?

Now that the network of Edge Star No. 1 has been restored, Zhong Ling, who has been given the military-provided optical computer, can chat with him.

“How are the sales of winter cheongsams?”

Zhong Ling had mentioned before that Kong Xingyue wanted to become the spokesperson for Yuxiu's new product, but Kong Yu didn't pay much attention to her later, so I don't know who was chosen in the end.

Zhong Ling was having dinner with her mother at home. Seeing the free message, she quickly replied:

"The new product is very popular, and its sales have already surpassed those of the summer items. You can check out the Star Network gossip news. The media are saying that Yuxiu will lead the trend in the Federation for the next few years, even decades."

As expected, he opened StarNet and searched for Yuxiu. A flood of articles popped up about Yuxiu's new winter collections. They were almost entirely filled with praise, many of which praised Yuxiu's chosen spokesperson and the cheongsam's aesthetic.

Kong Yu took a look and saw that the endorser was a female celebrity he didn’t know, but it didn’t matter who it was as long as it wasn’t Kong Xingyue.

The two chatted about cheongsams for a while, and Zhong Ling mentioned that she had not been in the company recently, but had been concentrating on staying at home with her mother.

Kong Yu asked a few more questions out of politeness and learned that Zhong's mother had been ill for many years due to radiation sickness and her health had been deteriorating recently.

Previously, Huo Yan gave the Zhong family a rare exotic plant, but it could only repair Zhong's mother's internal organs damaged by interstellar radiation for a short period of time. Once the effect of the medicine wore off, the pain caused by the radiation still existed.

Kong Yu fell silent upon hearing this. Interstellar radiation is just like cancer on ancient Earth. It is a very difficult disease to treat. Interstellar medical means are powerless to treat it. They can only watch the patients weaken day by day until they die.

Kong Yu comforted Zhong Ling briefly and then ended the conversation.

Sometimes we really have to admit that human beings are still small and fragile creatures in nature. No matter how your technology advances, there is always a sword of Damocles hanging over our heads, ready to judge the human race at any time.

Before Kong Yu had free time, he had memorized a book called "Basic Theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine" and gave it to a researcher at the Flame Army Research Institute. He wanted to use this free time to compile a book specifically introducing Chinese medicinal materials. It would be based on the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Chinese Materia Medica" from ancient Earth, and he could also include alien plants that appeared in the interstellar space and their effects into the book.

The reason why the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was not completely memorized was because many plants had undergone mutations in the interstellar era, and their forms and functions had also changed greatly compared to before. Naturally, the remaining "Interstellar Medicinal Plant Encyclopedia" had to keep pace with the times.

He did it as soon as he thought of it. When he had free time, he took out his light computer and wrote on it. He needed to list out the more than 5000 kinds of medicinal herbs mentioned in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" one by one, and then compare them with the medicinal plants in the interstellar space.

Huo Yan finished the coffee in his hand and looked at Kong Yu, only to find that he seemed to have forgotten what happened before and was concentrating on the work in his hands.

The two of them each guarded one side and worked without disturbing each other.

"Knock knock knock...", there was a knock on the door.

Bian Xiaoxiao, wearing a neat military uniform, walked in and glanced at Kong Yu who was busy with his work.

"Major General, we have contacted the families of the hostages found in Asgard, and we will arrange for spacecraft to take them home one after another today.

There is a special one here, Windsor Moon."

Huo Yan looked up and asked, "From the Windsor family on the capital planet?"

Bian Xiaoxiao nodded. She originally wanted to arrange for Windsor Mingyue to go home directly, but Windsor Mingyue herself refused and also expressed her desire to enter the Lieyan Military Academy.

She couldn't make the decision on this matter, so she could only ask the major general for instructions.
