Chapter 533

"Father asked the nun to take care of me before he left. If she can't find me later, she will probably be worried," Barbara said.

"It's getting dark, I'll send you back," Jean said after glancing at the sky.

Barbara nodded, "Okay."

Gu Chen watched them leave before putting his hands behind his back and preparing to return to the office.

Just as he walked out of the cafeteria, a petite red figure ran over quickly.

"Brother Gu Chen!"

Little Klee ran over to Gu Chen's side, her small face full of an excited smile.

"What's so happy?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"Look!"

Klee reached out, and in her hand was a round bomb. She said with a proud look on her small face, "Hmph, with Brother Gu Chen's support, Klee has researched an even more powerful bomb!"

"Ho, congratulations."

Gu Chen nodded with a smile after taking a look, then said, "Let's go out and try it when you have time another day."

"Really!"

Klee's eyes widened, and her eyes seemed to be flashing with excitement.

"Could I be lying?" Gu Chen shrugged, then said, "I just got promoted, and there are many things to be busy with in the next few days. I'll take you out to play when I'm free!"

"Yay!"

Little Klee was overjoyed and jumped on the spot to celebrate her joy.

"It's getting late, it's time to rest early," Gu Chen urged.

Hearing this, Klee nodded obediently and said, "Mm-hmm, Klee knows, I'll go back and sleep obediently now."

All the way back to the office area.

Klee's room was in the office area.

She stood at the door and waved to Gu Chen, "Good night, Brother Gu Chen."

"Good night." Gu Chen nodded.

Grand Master's office.

A long, long time ago, Gu Chen had made many suggestions for furnishings to Varka, so the Grand Master's office didn't need to make any changes at all; it was the style Gu Chen was satisfied with.

The Knights' staff cooperated with Jean to move many materials and documents here.

From the moment Varka stepped down, this office would accompany Gu Chen until the next Grand Master arrived.

Gu Chen sat down and thought for a moment.

He picked up a piece of white paper and began to write orders.

Jean was his assistant, but Gu Chen found that Jean could also stand on her own.

And because of serving as Gu Chen's assistant for a long time, Jean's work ability was also obvious to all.

Before he finished writing, the office door was knocked.

"Come in."

Gu Chen said without raising his head.

Jean pushed the door in and said seriously, "Grand Master..."

"It's off-duty time now," Gu Chen said calmly.

"Gu Chen... thank you, otherwise I wouldn't know when I would have explained things clearly to Barbara."

If it weren't for Gu Chen, Jean wouldn't know how long the previous situation would have lasted before being broken.

Today, after Gu Chen acted as the bridge, even though Jean sent Barbara back alone, and the two didn't have Gu Chen as a 'bridge' on the way, they still didn't fall into awkwardness.

This was good news, which made Jean very happy in her heart, and she was even more grateful to Gu Chen.

"It's good that you explained it clearly."

Gu Chen nodded, then said, "Tomorrow I will officially appoint you as the Acting Grand Master."

"G?!"

Jean's eyes widened; clearly, this news was unexpected for her.

She said with some trepidation, "I'm afraid that's not very appropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate about it?" Gu Chen asked with a smile.

"I-I always feel that I'm not qualified enough for this position," Jean shook her head.

The last person to serve as Acting Grand Master was Gu Chen!

Gu Chen had done too many things in the position of Acting Grand Master, and Jean was very worried that she wouldn't be able to handle this position.

Gu Chen looked at the change in Jean's expression and knew what she was thinking, so he comforted her, "The Acting Grand Master has many responsibilities, but simply put, it's just the Grand Master's assistant. Now that I've been promoted to Grand Master, as my assistant, you naturally have to serve as Acting Grand Master... As for whether you can handle this position, which you are worried about, I think you might be overthinking it. You were able to do so well in the past, there's no reason you would do worse after being in a high position."

"Rest assured and take this position. No matter what, I am behind you."

Jean was stunned.

Gu Chen's words gave her great confidence. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "I understand."

"Mm."

Gu Chen nodded, then signed his name on the newly written order, which meant this order could take effect at any time!

"Alright, it's getting late, rest early."

Gu Chen looked at the time and said, "Tomorrow is your first day in office, you must show your most spirited side."

"I know." Jean nodded.

Watching Gu Chen go upstairs all the way, Jean's expression gradually softened.

In terms of work, she had helped Gu Chen too much, but in private, Gu Chen had helped her too much.

Pondering, Jean gradually thought of Barbara, and a smile appeared on her face: "It's really good..."

【Nilou】: Miss Jean and Miss Barbara's relationship is gradually getting better, yay! (Klee: Yay!)

【Lisa】: Clearly, Jean at this time still doesn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Jean probably doesn't know that her younger sister might have ideas about Gu Chen. (Lisa: Leisurely)

【Barbara】: Ah?! (Barbara: Panicked)

【Paimon】: From the current point of view, the sisters' relationship is continuing to heat up. Do you think they will fight over a man in the future?! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Kaeya】: Good, good, good. I can already imagine that scene! (Funny)

【Azhdaha】: If it develops like this... interesting, too interesting!

【Venti】: Wait, did you ignore any keywords? 【You came just at the right time】! Let's just say, is there a possibility that Mondstadt is a land of freedom, and there is no rule that a person can only marry one wife! Do you understand the gold content of freedom of belief?! (Funny)

【Shikanoin Heizou】: No wonder this issue is directly about two heroines. So that's how Mondstadt's freedom is used?! (Paimon: Shocked)

【Raiden Makoto】: Good, good, good.

【Raiden Ei】: (Paimon: Shocked)

【Raiden Shogun】: The Master is about to have his second pair of sisters. (Thinking) (Nods)

【Venti】: @【Gu Chen】 This freedom concept of Mondstadt is thanks to me. Does the Sect Leader have anything to express? (Funny)

【Gu Chen】: Isn't it a bit inappropriate to bring this topic out into the open? (Seeing Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)

【Lisa】: Your mouth is crooked to the sky, what else is inappropriate? (Smirk)

【Gu Chen】: I'll just say one thing: believing in 'freedom' has absolutely no problem! (Thumbs up)

【Venti】: (Hu Tao: Smirk)

【Seeing Zhongli】: Judging from the plot of this video, believing in 【freedom】 is indeed very correct.

【Kaeya】: I also believe in freedom, why don't I have sisters? (Annoyed)

【Venti】: You do, why not!

【Kaeya】: Where! (Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent)

【Diluc】: In your dreams.

【Venti】: In your dreams. (Funny)

【Kaeya】: Fine, I'll have this dream tonight. (Seeing Zhongli: Long Wang crooked mouth)
