The shining Shoko Toyokawa

"It's okay, Rencai," Maya reached out and patted her shoulder, smiling, "This is Miss Sanjiao Chuhua, a well-known entrepreneur on the moon."

After many years, 'Toyokawa Shoko' called out her friend's name again, but she was so distant and polite, as if... she was just a stranger.

Chapter 26: Even though we were close

"Captain Maya..."

Chu Hua's lips trembled, but he finally called out this name.

She had loved two people, but in the end they were the same person.

But now, that person is no longer here...

"Hello, Captain Maya..."

People get disappointed and sad because they have expectations for the cruel world.

And once you no longer have expectations, maybe...there will be nothing to be sad about.

For example, Chu Hua who is smiling now.

"I read your speech, Captain, and I agree with your philosophy,"

"As for me... I once had a friend to whom I promised to lend my strength to the oppressed when necessary."

"Now is probably the time when it's necessary. I heard that the development of the new Gundam is still a little short of funds and technology. I will provide you with assistance. If you are short of funds, you can also tell me."

"Chuhua..."

After many years, Chu Hua still hasn't forgotten his original promise.

But Xiangzi deceived her again and again.

There is no doubt that Xiangzi is unqualified as a friend of Chuhua.

Even that drunkard father, Xiangzi could say that he was worthy of him.

But only Xiangzi's friends, the friends who were deceived by Xiangzi,

Toyokawa Shoko really owes them so much, so much...

And Toyokawa Shoko...now Maya Hilbert, always seems to hurt those around her...

"Helping us won't cause any harm to you, right?"

"How could that be?" Chu Hua smiled and took a sip of coffee. "I was working for East Asia Heavy Industries a few months ago, and I still hold shares in East Asia Heavy Industries. It's perfectly normal for me to have financial dealings with East Asia Heavy Industries, isn't it?"

In front of Maya, the timid girl disappeared, and was replaced by an excellent 'entrepreneur'.

"Every year, both I and my company lend a helping hand to those in need and donate large sums of money. It's okay if the current situation is a little more turbulent."

"I believe that good people will be rewarded, right, Captain Maya?"

A good entrepreneur will not do business at a loss.

East Asia Heavy Industry is eager to continue its prosperity, so it has vigorously funded the reactionary forces and Wu Ci,

The Sk Electronic Technology Group of Sanjiao Chuhua is already an unshakable giant in the fields of electronic manufacturing and new alloy smelting.

Its net profit is several times that of East Asia Heavy Industries, but its political influence is not as good as East Asia Heavy Industries, the leader in the mid-to-high-end MS design and manufacturing industry.

In order to change this situation, Sk Electronics also set up its own MS development department.

Most of the designers and engineers were hired at high prices, and their technical level was not inferior to that of East Asia Heavy Industries.

However, Sk Electronics is still a newcomer in the MS industry and has no mature shelf products.

Now that the Federation intends to design and manufacture its own mobile suits, there is naturally no bidding for projects to give this "new company" a chance to perform.

For the wealthy Sk Electronics, funding the cash-strapped Wu Ci to complete the New Gundam will naturally allow them to join the New Gundam project.

The technology and experience in developing the new Gundam are not the most important thing. The most important thing is to let the world know that Sk Electronics participated in the research and development of the new Gundam.

As for the funds outside of the development of the new Gundam, they can be considered as investments such as political donations.

Many people believe that the current federal government is just a transitional phase.

Their practice of dividing people into two categories is simply a disguised "racial" apartheid policy. In the future, a new and more moderate government faction will come to power.

The Thornless and the moderate federal army and congressmen behind him are a force that cannot be ignored.

This is exactly why Caius, despite the extreme forces of the old times who were crying out for divine punishment, wanted to destroy the Thornless Flagship.

The current situation is like the ancient 'princes' fighting for the throne.

Don't look at the 'Grand Prince' in his prime,

But the final outcome is still unknown.

Maya naturally knew that just shouting slogans was useless. If she couldn't win the support of these 'entrepreneurs', the battle would be so difficult that she couldn't continue.

As Captain Maya, she had no reason to refuse this deal.

But... if it was that long-dead aquamarine-haired girl who saw the 'mature' Chu Hua,

You will definitely be sad enough to cry.

When her 'Prince' grew up, he became the king.

'Becoming a king' may be a good thing in the eyes of many people.

Only the girl with azure hair knew that the 'crown' was too heavy for her prince.

It was so heavy that she had to transform herself into 'another person' to bear it.

Because she has become another person, Maya understands this feeling.

I am always fighting against myself, and I even deceive my closest people.

It's just like... the wall-facer in the novel.

"Yes, Miss Triangle,"

Maya also put on a mask of smile,

"The nature of Caius determines that they will only become more extreme, and in this era, it is impossible to convince people with violence alone."

She was like someone soliciting investment, painting a rosy picture for the "boss".

Jinna watched the two 'adults' talking, and for some reason she felt a little irritated.

She instinctively felt that these two people should not have this kind of "business" relationship.

But in Maya's eyes, she was still just a child, let alone doing anything.

I don't know what to say.

Are you going to say; Maya-san, why are you so distant from Miss Triangle?

“Perhaps… I mistaken Maya-san for Char…”

In the end, Renai managed to find a reason to convince herself.

"By the way, Miss Triangle, I have something else I would like to ask you for help with,"

After talking about Dao Le, Maya talked about people and recruiting.

"How much would it cost to place an ad on the advertising screens and TV stations in the lunar city?"

"Captain Maya, what kind of advertising do you want to run?" The blond entrepreneur did not directly give an approximate number, but instead asked for the specific requirements of the 'client'.

“Who is your target group? What is the expected effect?”

"The target is a skilled MS pilot. If they are veterans, that's even better. The more such pilots, the better. As long as I can meet them once, that's enough."

"That's easy," Chu Hua answered with a smile, "There will be an MS competition tomorrow, and most of the masters on the moon, except for the soldiers, will be participating.

Among them are professional MS competition teams and ordinary people who rent simulation cockpits.

Although many of the games in this competition are simulated battles with God of War,

However, the high amount of money still attracted many retired drivers who were not so well-off to participate.

Many of Dongya Heavy Industries' test aircraft pilots have won awards in this competition."

Chapter 27: The Real Hero

"I see, that's a great opportunity indeed... Thank you for your help, Miss Triangle."

"If I'm free some other day, I'll treat you to dinner again. If you're free then, please be sure to get together."

The subtext of this sentence is that I am not free today and we can talk another day.

Maya didn't put all her hopes on one game.

Before this, she had asked Natasha for a list of veterans who had settled on the moon.

Although I don't know how many people I can find, and how many people are willing to come back and take risks with them, I still have to try to find out whether it will work.

One of the reasons why Maya was anxious to leave was to go find the veterans. Another reason was to be polite to the masked Chu Hua. Her heart... was still a little hurt...

"Then I will wait for Captain Maya's invitation."

Chu Hua stood up with a smile, and hugged Maya as if they were close friends.

"Goodbye, Jingqin classmate,"

She waved to Rencai again and left the sightseeing room.

"Maya-san, are you okay?"

Rencai looked at her with some concern. After Chuhua left, a complicated expression appeared on her face. "Maya-san is Maya-san. You don't have to think too much about other people's affairs."

"I'm still too young... to have Nina worry about me."

Maya gently rubbed the girl's head, forced a smile and said, "Come on, Rencai, let's go around the Moon City."

After saying that, she took the lead and walked in front, not letting the girl see her expression.

Before she forgets Chu Hua's body temperature again, her heart...will probably continue to ache.

This is good,

This is the most basic punishment for someone who fools his friends.

…………

……

Although Maya said she was visiting the lunar city, she had a clear goal every time she set out.

She first rented an electric jeep that looked like a military vehicle. Then she drove the jeep and took Rencai to the place where the veteran worked, which was closest to the rental shop.

It was a repair shop that not only repaired cars and small engineering mobile suits, but also sold used cars and used mobile suits.

Non-4S repair shops are often not located in busy areas due to the cost of renting a shop.

This repair shop is no exception. Nearby is the "shantytown" where migrant workers live. Compared with the bustling roads, the roads are crowded and narrow, barely enough for two ordinary cars to pass.

The sun shining through the dome hardly reaches here, and the light from the lighting system is not as bright as that in the bustling areas. It looks like a cloudy day.

No one could have imagined that an ace who had made great achievements in the Unification War and whose MS had lost over 30 points would open a repair shop in such a place.

When Xia Ya arrived at the store, she didn't look for anyone directly, but asked the apprentice in front to change the brake fluid of the electric jeep.

The apprentice in the shop was a young man, about 17-8 years old, and he was shy and didn't dare to look at the two people's faces.

When Maya asked indirectly if he was the only one in the store, he subconsciously said that the master was in the warehouse behind the store.

The 'bad blonde' lied; she had asked this mechanic to repair her car before, and she wanted to thank him today.

The young man had no doubts at all and let the two in.

If two big men came, he would definitely be on guard, but could two little girls kidnap his master?

There's no need to panic at all!

After entering the warehouse behind the repair shop, the two discovered that there was a hidden world here.

From the outside, it is only seven or eight meters high.

But a large part of them are semi-basement structures.

Vehicles can go down the ramp, and the deepest part is about 20 meters high from the ceiling. There is also a fishing platform that is absolutely overused for repairing cars.

"Maya-san, that's..."

The blonde girl followed the girl's gaze and saw a pile of MS parts neatly stacked in the corner of the warehouse.
