After the muka cub’s birthday, there were only 12 days left of the month. On the last day of the month, Xie Luan without warning received a promotion.
"President, why suddenly..." Hearing the old president who had gathered everyone say that he wanted to officially hand over the president’s seat to him, the surprise on Xie Luan’s face was not fake.
The president hadn’t ntioned it to him beforehand. However, compared to his surprised look, Xie Luan found that the others around him appeared to long have seen this coming and now, after hearing the president’s words, rely nodded.
"It’s not sudden."
The president glanced at Xie Luan, trust showing in his eyes. "This old man is already very old and has since so ti back not had the energy to properly manage the club. It is all thanks to Xiao Qi helping take care of the club all these years that Yunbao Branch has barely been able to stay afloat until now."
"But ever since you ca to our branch, this old man has seen the club grow in front of my eyes and truly co alive. I don’t see any problem with making you president, Xiao Qi also agrees with this decision."
Saying this sentence, the old president touched the virtual docunt shown by the connector and moved the docunt over to Xie Luan. "If you’re ready, sign this docunt right away. I’ll leave Yunbao in your hands."
After signing the docunt, all of Yunbao branch’s assets would imdiately beco Xie Luan’s. The old president hadn’t left even a bit for himself, he was completely transferring it all, it was all written in the docunt.
Noticing that Xie Luan was still a little hesitant at this point, the old president opened his mouth once more and said, " being at this age, I don’t know how long I can continue watching over Yunbao. Who else can I ask this of?"
Hearing him say this, Xia Qi was the first whose expression changed. [1]
This year, the president would turn 210 years old. In the sevilla race it could be considered as having lived a very long life. Even though birth, aging, sickness, and death were the most unavoidable things in the universe, Xia Qi, who regarded the old president as her grandfather, still felt like her chest was a little stuffy.
The staff at Yunbao branch had no objections against Xie Luan becoming president. Under everyone’s eyes, Xie Luan at last signed the docunt.
The docunt went into effect the mont Xie Luan signed his na, that is to say, from that day on Xie Luan officially took over as the new president of Yunbao branch and the relevant information on Yunbao branch’s hopage on the starnet also changed accordingly.
Going from vice president and investor to becoming the official president, even if his title was different, Xie Luan’s daily work did not actually change much. It was rely that, if they needed to be in contact with other cub raising branches in the future, he would attend as president.
The following month, Gaia seed to be getting hotter with each passing day.
Sumr had finally arrived, and so had the rainy season. It was a cloudy day in the city Yunbao branch was located, a light rain pitter-pattering against the club’s roofs. Sothing related to this club was happening far away at the Star Alliance headquarters at Shilolin.
"Have you heard? Today that madman unexpectedly took the initiative to submit his retirent application to the military departnt. Is it really true?" In the Star Alliance administrative departnt, several civil servants gathered together to whisper, disbelief clearly written across their faces.
"It has to be fake, right? That man is a famous battlefield madman, why would he give up and request for early retirent? He is decades away from retirent age."
"Shhh—" Hearing footsteps gradually approaching, one of the employees hurriedly gestured for the others to be quiet.
A man with a scar at the corner of his eye passed by, he gave off an aura of oppression from his whole body. The man was obviously military personnel, but this middle-aged man appeared very cruel.
Compared to military, the other looked more like a dangerous lowlife and his reputation as a madman on the battlefield also made many of his colleagues at the military departnt avoid him. They only dared to talk about him behind his back and beca completely silent when facing him.
As soon as the man was so distance away, the silent civil servants relaxed. Just now, when the man had passed by, one of them saw that he was missing a hand and couldn’t help saying, "Is it because of his left hand that he chose to retire? He was seriously injured at the battle of Kesou more than a year ago, it may be the reason..." After discussing for a while, the whispering voices gradually stopped. At this ti, Morrison, who had submitted his retirent application, had already left the Star Alliance headquarters and walked back ho.
"Gu-Ji,Ji~" Hearing the door open, the cub who originally had been nestled on the bed at once woke up. Like a plump little penguin, the laili cub waddled over, he then bumped into and hugged the leg of the adult who walked in.
Morrison could never get used to this way of greeting. Bending down, he used one hand to hold the laili cub. After he put him back down again, he touched the cub’s head.
Because he only had one hand, Morrison couldn’t hold the baby and stroke his head at the sa ti.
"Guu~" Issuing a sound, the fluffy little laili cub flapped his wings continuously as his head was touched. Although, just like in the kuthi race, the laili cub form was similar to a bird, this lali cub could not fly.
Morrison from ti to ti lowered his head to look at the cub who was waddling around the room. Once the Star Alliance approved his retirent application, he was going to take the cub with him to Gaia.

Translator’s note:
A new fluffy cub! ><
Gu-Ji is a very literal translation of the sound he makes, I kept it that way as the best I could co up with after watching several baby penguin videos was "ohw-ih-ih-oh", haha.
Please comnt if any of you have a better suggestion on how it should be translated. Otherwise, I think I will just continue using gu-ji.
[1] – I first thought she reacted to him saying "who else can I ask this of?" and pictured her making a wtf face... No, but really, Xia Qi must be an angel. [negativity warning⚠️] Although I’m happy for Xie Luan, I really dislike this trope (When a woman dedicates all her life to sothing, then an average guy cos along and masters it in one day after being taught by her, gets acknowledged by her master, and takes all that should have been hers...) it is used in books and movies all the ti and is a bit sad to see.
