No matter big or small, he is the first person to be consulted to make decisions.

And Kolya's job is to sort out these big and small things, let them handle the small things by themselves, and then pick out the big things, sort out the cause and process of the problem, and simplify it as much as possible before handing it over to Zhong Rui for decision-making.

"Well...but, there is still work..."

"Kelia, you can take half a day off today! Leave those tasks to me!"

After forcefully asking Kolya to go and rest, Zhong Rui looked at the piled documents and had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.

Originally, he wanted to call Velvet or Mei to come and help, but Velvet's character was restless and she would definitely not deal with these documents all the time.

As for Mei, Zhong Rui actually feels guilty for exploiting the labor force of this underage girl.

Besides, she still had several experiments-related matters to be busy with, and Zhong Rui was too embarrassed to ask her for help.

"Thank you for your hard work, do you need my help?"

Just as Zhong Rui was immersed in processing documents, he heard the sound of the office door being pushed open. He looked up at Aponya who came in with a tea set, with curiosity in his eyes.

"Ugh?"

"My ability can filter out some unimportant work content."

Aponia saw Zhong Rui's doubts and explained to him with a smile.

After she accidentally saw Kolya's fate line, she learned about Zhong Rui's troubles, and decided to come to help him.

"Really! Saved!"

With Aponya's help, Zhong Rui's work efficiency suddenly became much faster, and he finished processing the mountain of documents in about an hour.

After moving his wrist, Zhong Rui missed Gan Yu's existence very much. It was really important to have a great secretary!

Um?Speaking of which, since Kokolia is very similar to Cocolia in every aspect, he might as well bring Cocolia over as a coolie...

ah!I released her before to reunite with the children in the orphanage, but forgot to stuff her into a different space again...

Thinking of this, Zhong Rui felt deeply regretful. Now he only had the puppet of Bailegang available in his different space.

But there is no point in taking out a puppet that has no thinking ability and only knows how to fight. There is no stage where it needs to fight.

"Huh? This tea..."

"I followed Mebius's suggestion and added some nutrients to the tea. Mebius said that after drinking it, you can quickly restore your lost energy."

Seeing Aponya's expression of thinking about himself, Zhong Rui wanted to complain that the energy Mebius mentioned was probably different from what Aponya understood.

Momo made a note of Mebius in his mind and decided to use this strong energy to torture her that night.

"Hmm, did I do something wrong?"

Aponya saw that something was not right about Zhong Rui's expression, and looked at him with some confusion and asked.

Because Zhong Rui exists outside the world, she cannot see the thread of destiny in him. To Aponya, Zhong Rui is a completely unknown and mysterious existence.

However, she could infer something about Zhong Rui through the fate of the people around her.

"It's okay, Aponya, can you call Alicia for me? I have something to talk to her about..."

Zhong Rui took advantage of the cover of his desk and said to Aponya with a smile.

"I see."

After bringing Alicia into the office, Aponya was kicked out of the office by Zhong Rui on the grounds that he had some private matters to discuss.

After a while, Aponya listened to the movement in the office, with a blush on her cheeks.

So that was it. She saw that Mebius prepared the nutritional supplement out of good intentions, so she added it without thinking.

Aponia made praying movements outside the door and apologized to Alicia and Zhong Rui.

If I had known earlier, she would have been responsible for this matter. After all, it was her mistake, but Alicia was implicated as a result...

"Aponya, is Zhong Rui free now?"

Eden came over with a cake as a consolation gift, ready to reward Zhong Rui for his hard work.

Seeing Eden's arrival, Aponya showed a trace of hesitation on his face, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

The line representing marriage that she saw on Eden was connected to the same place as Alicia and the others.

And that was probably Zhong Rui's fate, so Aponya hesitated. After all, Eden was already Zhong Rui's partner in her opinion.

"How about you knock on the door and ask?"

In the end, Aponia gave the choice to Zhong Rui.

"Ah."

Seeing the complicated expression on Aponya's face, Eden knocked on the door with some confusion, and then heard Zhong Rui's voice coming from inside.

"E-Eden? Come in..."

Eden opened the door and looked at Zhong Rui sitting at the desk in the room, carrying the cake box and placing it on the table.

"Speaking of which, I thought I heard Ellie's voice just now. I thought she was here too..."

"Haha, I was on the phone with her just now..."

Zhong Rui felt someone's small movements hidden under the desk and said with a smile.

"Is that so? By the way, I have recently learned some massage techniques. Do you want me to massage your shoulders?"

"?! This, I won't trouble you anymore."

Seeing Eden preparing to go around to the back of the desk, Zhong Rui quickly rejected her out loud, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

"Yes, compared to a massage by a layman like me, it should be done by a more professional person..."

Being rejected so decisively by Zhong Rui, Eden said with a gloomy expression.

Sure enough, she couldn't do anything, not even help him comfort his physical fatigue...

"Ahem, ah! My shoulders suddenly feel so stiff. Eden, I'll leave it to you."

Feeling the small movements of the people below, Zhong Rui could only bite the bullet and use the power of the Herrscher of the Sky to cover the space where Alicia was, and let Eden come over to massage his shoulders.

If he is discovered by Eden, then his image in Eden's heart will collapse...

Chapter 274 The arrival of the fourth collapse

"Little Gratius, today's share of cake has been eaten~"

Gently stroking Graciu's little head, Zhong Rui said to the five or six-year-old blue-haired girl in his arms.

"Brother Zhong Rui, is it really gone?"

Gracie sat obediently in his arms, letting Zhong Rui stroke her head and continued to talk coquettishly with him.

Compared to her father, who often travels around the world, and her mother, who is busy with experimental work, the burden of being by her side almost all the time is more like her relative.

However, she also understood that her parents were very busy at work, and she also knew that both parents loved her very much. In addition, with Zhong Rui's company, Gracie did not feel lonely.

"Eating too much cake will cause tooth decay, and little Gracie will have a toothache by then. Besides, it won't look good if a girl becomes fat. Even little Gracie can't wear her favorite dress."

Zhong Rui, who left the work to Kolya and took care of the baby here, looked at the Fire Chaser Moth warriors whose physiques had been enhanced in the laboratory screen.

After Mei’s tireless efforts over the past six months, the Divine Blood Project has initially shown results.

Although he cannot become a superman like Kevin, it has greatly enhanced the strength of these warriors and allowed them to gain resistance to Honkai Energy.

"Um...can I have a cookie?"

"It's almost lunch time, don't eat too many cookies~"

A plate of cookies appeared in his hand. Zhong Rui picked up a cookie and fed it to little Gratitude. Watching her eat the cookies bit by bit like a hamster, Zhong Rui showed a healed smile on his face.

Little Gracie is so cute!

"Zhong Rui, it's not good for you to pamper her like this. She won't be able to eat lunch later."

Although Aponya said this, it was obvious that Gracie was choking on the biscuit, so she quickly took out the milk she had prepared in advance and handed it over.

Although she can now control her abilities, the habit she has developed in the past six months still makes her often follow Zhong Rui.

Moreover, Fire Chasing Moth has no work arranged for her, and she is not needed on the battlefield against Honkai, so she can be considered an idler.

"Mama Aponya, bad."

Seeing Zhong Rui stop feeding her biscuits, Graciu pouted angrily, looked at Aponya, and decided not to pay attention to her today.

Because Zhong Rui and Aponia have been with her longer than her biological parents, in her heart Aponia is her mother and brother Zhong Rui is her father.

It's just that she called brother Zhongrui dad once before, which caused chaos in the Fire Chaser. Later, she was sternly warned by Aunt Mebius not to call him daddy like that.

"Gratius, Aponya also has good intentions. If you don't eat well and supplement your nutrition, you won't be able to grow well in the future, right?"

"Then you'll never grow up."

Faced with Zhong Rui's feeding and desserts, little Gracie made her choice without hesitation.

She feels that she is doing well now. If she grows up in the future, she will not be able to sit in brother Zhong Rui's arms like now.

"Hmm... then Graciu, do you want to be like Sister Hua in the future? Or do you prefer to be like Sister Aponya?"

Zhong Rui asked Gratius with a sinister smile.

The expression on Graciu's face was stunned, and she compared their body shapes in her mind...

"...I, I will eat well and I won't starve my future baby."

"Hahaha!!!"

Aponya looked helplessly at Zhong Rui, who was laughing wickedly. If Hua found out, she would probably be very sad.

After all, Hua's marriage line is also connected to Alicia and the others...

"Ha, I haven't laughed so happily in a long time, we... huh!?"

Just as Zhong Rui was about to say something, he suddenly felt discomfort in his heart and realized that this was another sign of the coming collapse, and the location was... New Zealand!

"Brother Zhongrui, are you feeling unwell? Do you want some milk?"

Little Gracie, who was sitting in his arms, showed a worried expression and handed the milk bottle she was holding to Zhong Rui.

"Thank you, but brother Zhong Rui is fine. Aponia, please help me take care of her."
