Chapter 157: Volume 3, - 46: The Flaws of the Nation_2
Fatty laughed and said: "As long as there’s payment, I don’t care who’s in charge."
Ax shook his head and said: "Honestly, I was supposed to enter the Mecha Manufacturing Company three months after coming here, but I’ve been here for almost a year now. Why?" Fatty chuckled mischievously and said: "Not skilled enough, perhaps!"
Ax blushed and said: "I can’t compare to you, but to get into the Mecha Manufacturing Company, my Level 4 mechanic skills are sufficient. To be frank, I find it comfortable here with the Holy Knights." He lowered his voice and said: "If the Military Department took over, would we still have such good times? They’d set quotas for tasks every day, and if we couldn’t meet them, we’d be accused of negligence. That’s no fun at all. Moreover, if we’re repairing high-security mechas, we’d probably be confined to prevent secret leaks."
Fatty laughed: "I reckon that even if we were taken over, we wouldn’t be the ones fixing those high-security mechas. Think about it, if the Empire took over, they’d target the mecha companies first, and we’d be the last resort. We’d probably just repair the standard mechas."
As they spoke, the automatic food cart had moved in front of them, and they began serving themselves. Ax opened a bottle of beer and poured it for Tian Xingjian. As he turned his head, he saw Christina walking into the restaurant, rendered momentarily dumb, still pouring beer until it overflowed Fatty’s glass, spilling all over the table. Fatty jumped up, startled: "It’s full, it’s full, stop, stop." Ax finally snapped out of it, nervously putting down the beer bottle and tried to help Fatty clean up, but in his panic, knocked the beer bottle over again, and then another plate fell to the ground.
Fatty turned to look where Ax had been staring, saw the beautiful receptionist, and sighed: "Beauty brings trouble..." He pointed at Ax and said: "If you want to pursue her, just go for it, stop dithering around and wasting food."
Ax looked embarrassed, ordered another dish, and laughed awkwardly: "She’s the goddess in the hearts of every unmarried man in the whole company... Not just me, there’s nobody in all of Tanville qualified to chase her."
Fatty looked back carefully, puzzled: "I don’t see what’s so special. Even if she’s pretty, it’s not worth such a big reaction."
