Elder brother's garrison

Page 1630

Just then, the Deans of the Deep Sea in the reception room also noticed Lexington and Little White. Seeing that Frederick the Great was not following behind them, the Deans of the Deep Sea became very curious.

"Huh? Where's Frederick?"

“Miss Frederick doesn’t like crowded places, so I’ve had Reputation take her to a quiet place to rest.” Lexington said, walking to the coffee table, righting the overturned vase, then clasping his hands together, interlacing his fingers, and looking at the Deep Sea Deans present with a gentle expression. “Hmm. Let’s leave her alone for now and talk about your future.”

"Huh? Staying or leaving? What do you mean by staying or leaving?" The Deep Sea Deans of Chapter Eight looked at Lexington.

"You've all traveled a long way to our naval base, surely you're not just here for one night?" Lexington said, walking to the coffee table, bending down to pull up a chair that had been overturned, and slowly sitting down. Then he smiled at the group, "Hmm... you seem to have some thoughts about joining us?"

"……Is not it?"

“Of course, that’s true.” Lexington maintained her smile and then gently took out several job application forms from her ship equipment space and placed them on the table. “These are our naval base’s job application forms. Filling out these forms means that our naval base will be responsible for your arrival. We will take care of all your future needs, such as food, lodging, salary, and travel status.”

"Oh! Great! Fill them out for us quickly!" Kamikaze and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately reached out their hands.

“But our naval base doesn’t accept just anyone, you know?” Lexington held up the job application form and looked at the Deep Sea Director in front of her with a smile. “Although you have all come from afar and it must have been hard work, our naval base still needs to conduct job interviews. I hope you can understand that.”

"Job interview...?"

“After all, it’s not a good thing to let lazy, wicked people infiltrate the naval base.” Lexington said slowly to everyone, holding up the job application form in his hand. “Also, it seems that we only have four positions left for the naval base.”

Lexington spread out the job application forms.

really.

All the people saw were four blank sheets of paper.

"Four? One, two, three, four?" Kamikaze's eyes widened as he glanced back at the Eighth Chapter Deep Sea Deans present, counting their heads. "Hiss... There are five of us here? Eh? Does that mean one of us can't join the Naval Base?"

“After all, there are only a limited number of positions,” Lexington said. “So we will offer you the opportunity to join the company based on the interview results.”

"What..." Kamikaze's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this. "This isn't what we agreed on!"

"Life is unpredictable."

"But, but... what does an interview mean..." Kamikaze blushed red as she stammered. Just as she was about to speak, the Abyssal Zuikaku beside her suddenly stood up.

Under everyone's gaze, Deep Sea Zuikaku walked up to Lexington, bent down and picked up the fruit peels that had fallen to Lexington's feet and the glass that had fallen to the ground.

"Is this alright?" Akagi Zuikaku asked Lexington, holding up the trash in her hand.

“It seems Miss Fukami Zuikaku has a good grasp of the key points.” Lexington smiled and handed Fukami Zuikaku an application for employment. “Our naval base does not accept lazy people or those who are utterly wicked, so as long as you demonstrate diligence, you will naturally have the opportunity to join the naval base.”

Deepsea Ruihe accepted the job application form handed to him by Luxington.

The deep-sea deans stared blankly at Lexington.

Lexington noticed the gazes of the crowd, held up the remaining three job application forms in her hand, and her smile grew even brighter.

"Now... there are only three chances left, okay?"

Lexington's gentle voice echoed in the quiet drawing room.

Chapter 2200 Fierce Struggle

The large reception room fell silent for a moment.

Lexington maintained a gentle and friendly smile, the three job application forms in her hand waving around, attracting everyone's attention.

Kamikaze turned around and glanced at the Deans of the Deep Sea from Chapter Eight behind him.

"You mean if you say there are only... only three chances left, one of us has to be thrown out no matter what?" Kamikaze paused for a moment, then asked Lexington, "What about the people who don't get an application form? Go back to Chapter Eight?"

"How could that be? You've all come all this way, and even if some of you don't end up getting a job at the naval base, we still have to show you the proper hospitality," Lexington said with a smile, cupping her face in one hand. "I'm not so ignorant of these social niceties... but..."

"But what?"

"As you all know, your visit to the naval base just now certainly caused quite a stir." Lexington said, a hint of unease appearing on her face, and she sighed. "Although I boasted to Xiaobai that I would handle everything afterward, we are, after all, the world's number one naval base. Even if we do nothing, countless eyes are always watching us from the shadows, which makes many things quite complicated..."

"What...what do you mean by that?" Kamikaze suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Don't you understand yet?" Savoy spoke up from the side, "If someone holds us accountable, just find a scapegoat and everything will be fine."

"Hiss—you, you're going to sacrifice one of us??" Kamikaze couldn't sit still any longer when she heard this. She stared at Lexington with wide eyes, her voice rising involuntarily.

“Miss Kamikaze, I didn’t say that.” Lexington smiled at Kamikaze. “How could I do something so cruel?”

"Then why did you suddenly bring this up just now?! What exactly are you going to do with the remaining Deep Sea Dean?!"

"……hehe."

"What do you mean by 'hehe'?!" Kamikaze couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped up and angrily grabbed the Deep Sea Deans beside her. "I understand! I'm leaving now! I'm going back to Chapter Eight right now! Bye-bye!"

“That won’t do,” Lexington said.

"What's wrong with that?"

"It's thousands of miles away from here to Chapter 8, and there are human cities all along the way. If you go back alone, Miss Kamikaze, you'll inevitably be noticed by the surrounding naval bases. Plus, there's no Abyssal Fleet for you here. In that case... it might turn into a scene where hundreds of naval bases surround and hunt you down."

"Then I'll just have Chaoda take me back!"

"If you leave the naval base now, Ms. Kamikaze, and disappoint Shiro's kindness, then you will no longer be a guest of our naval base. I'm sorry, but Super-Big and her abilities are only available to new naval base members." Lexington said sadly, "Ms. Kamikaze, are you sure you want to leave?"

"You...you..." Kamikaze looked at Lexington's expression and trembled, unsure whether he was angry or scared.

"Anyway, since we're just killing time, why not have an interview?" Lexington smiled and held up the three remaining job application forms. "Don't always think the worst. Our naval base's interviews aren't designed to make things difficult for people. What if, Miss Kamikaze, you pass our naval base's interview easily because of your hard work and kindness?"

Hearing Lexington's words, Kamikaze's rapid breathing gradually subsided.

Kamikaze glanced at the area where Yamato was.

The newbie naval commanders of the deep-sea headquarters sat obediently on the sofa, each of them looking elsewhere, not daring to move an inch in front of Lexington.

Kamikaze then looked at Shiro.

Xiao Bai stood behind Lexington with a wry smile, only casting an encouraging glance at himself.

"...I understand, I understand! I'll do it, okay!" Kamikaze began to give up in despair. She stormed to the corner of the reception room, grabbed a broom, rolled up her sleeves, and started sweeping up the fruit peels scattered on the floor. "It's just cleaning! It's just being diligent! Everyone can clean! I'm not going to be a scapegoat to be sacrificed! I'm going to pass this interview!"

After Kamikaze finished speaking, he transformed into a small whirlwind and began cleaning the reception room with great effort.

Seeing that Kamikaze had moved, Barbarossa pulled Hindenburg from the sofa and they walked over to Lexington.

"What's wrong? Miss Barbarossa, and Miss Hindenburg of the Deep Sea?" Lexington asked with a smile.

"What should we do?" Barbarossa pointed to himself and Deepsea Hindenburg.

"Well... Miss Kamikaze is already sweeping, so Miss Barbarossa, could you please help wipe the tables and chairs and empty the fruit peels from the trash can?" Lexington said with a smile.

Barbarossa and Hindenburg exchanged a glance, then bent down and picked up the trash can.

"Hmph, your jobs are too childish, just throwing out a trash can. I'm cleaning the whole room!" Kamikaze noticed the situation and laughed confidently. "In terms of workload, I'm much more diligent than you! I'm definitely the one who will stay after this interview! Savoy, see that! See that! I'm currently in the midst of superb diligence!"

Kamikaze was getting into a better state.

But Savoy on the sofa still didn't move. Faced with Kamikaze's provocation, she just yawned lightly, then crossed her legs, leaned against Deep Sea Musashi, and closed her eyes contentedly.

"Hmph, you've already given up..." Kamikaze watched Savoy's lazy movements, her brows furrowing involuntarily. She tightened her grip on the broom, but still let out a soft snort and turned her head away. "I don't care about you. Since you've given up, all three of us are qualified, so you might as well be sacrificed. I'll offer you two sticks of incense every month..."

Kamikaze muttered to himself, quickly putting the matter of Savoy out of his mind.

Kamikaze was completely absorbed in cleaning the living room. After sweeping up the fruit peels and dust on the floor, he immediately straightened the scattered tables, chairs and sofas. Finally, as if possessed, he ran to the nearby cleaning room, grabbed a mop and rag, and wiped the living room until it shone with great speed and determination.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, she finished polishing the last floor tile and breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at the newly renovated reception hall with satisfaction, then stood up with her hands on her hips.

"Hmph, it seems this interview will definitely go smoothly. That guy Savoy is definitely going to be taken out..." Kamikaze muttered to himself, looking towards the sofa and coffee table.

then.

Kamikaze was stunned.

Because right in her field of vision, Savoy, who had been lounging lazily on the sofa, had somehow gone behind Lexington's chair. She was gently kneading and patting Lexington's shoulders while chatting happily with him.

"Lexington, is this force enough?"

“Yes, Miss Savoy is very talented in this area.”

"You flatter me. I'm just good at reading people."

"My shoulders have been sore these past few days, but Miss Savoy's massage has really made me feel a lot better."

"It's probably because I'm too tired from work."

"That is to say..."

……

Savoy and Lexington were chatting animatedly, both smiling and seemingly oblivious to everyone around them.

Kamikaze swore that this was the first time in his life he had ever seen Savoy with such an angelic smile.

"Hey! Hey, you over there! Foul! Foul! Foul!" Kamikaze immediately raised his hand and shouted at Savoy, "Trying to curry favor with the judge, huh?! How could you cheat like that! Savoy! You're being despicable right now!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Upon hearing Kamikaze's words, Savoy's smile faded, and she returned to her usual demeanor. "I just saw that Mrs. Leh's shoulders were sore, so I helped her massage them. It was entirely out of kindness, so how is that against the rules? Besides, isn't this just a form of diligence?"

"You f***ing..." Shenfeng was so angry he almost threw a rag at Savoy's face.

"Ms. Kamikaze, thank you for your hard work." Lexington smiled and looked over, nodding to Kamikaze. "The reception room is much brighter now that you've taken care of it. Come on over, the interview results need to be summarized."

"What? We have to summarize?" Upon hearing this, Kamikaze quickly put away the rag and ran over.

“Yes, it’s time to summarize.” Lexington reached out and gently tapped the three job applications on the table.

"Did I pass? Did I pass?" Kamikaze asked hurriedly.

“Well… Miss Kamikaze, please don’t rush. Let’s sit down and talk one by one.” Lexington picked up the job applications, smiled, and pulled out two of them. “Regarding the results of this interview, firstly, for Miss Barbarossa and Miss Hindenburg, I am willing to offer you two job opportunities.”

"Huh? What? They just threw something in the trash can!" Kamikaze's eyes widened. "Why are you talking about them first?"

“It’s a small thing that shows a big picture,” Lexington said. “Besides, Miss Barbarossa and Miss Hindenburg seem to have a good relationship. It would be very sad if they were separated. To avoid that, we have no choice but to bring them both into the naval base.”

"I lost..."

“Next up are Ms. Kamikaze and Ms. Savoy.” Lexington listened to Kamikaze’s protest, but her expression remained unchanged. She picked up the last application form and smiled slowly at Kamikaze and Savoy, saying, “Regarding your qualifications for employment…”

Lexington seemed to deliberately draw out his words at this point.

Kamikaze nervously swallowed, his eyes fixed on the application form in Lexington's hand.

The last spot... there's only one left!

Chapter 2201 Why is Lexington a God?

Kamikaze thought his performance in this interview was pretty good, at least much better than Savoy, who was lazing around on the sofa. Logically speaking, the last page of the job application form should have fallen into his hands.

but!

Kamikaze quickly recalled Savoy's fawning over Lexington, and the intimate way Savoy and Lexington talked about everything made her uneasy.

Kamikaze stared intently at the job application in Lexington's hand, fearing that Lexington would hand this last chance to Savoy beside him.

"Regarding the spots for Ms. Kamikaze and Ms. Savoy..."

Lexington deliberately dragged out his voice, making Kamikaze's heart pound.

Please, please, please don't let it be Savoy! Please, please, please don't let it be Savoy!

Kamikaze clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and began to pray.

"Snapped!"

Just then, a crisp clapping sound interrupted Kamikaze's prayer.

Kamikaze opened his eyes and saw Lexington smiling with his hands clasped together, looking at him with a smile.

"I hereby declare that Ms. Kamikaze and Ms. Savoy have both passed the test. Welcome to our naval base!"

"What? We passed... That's great..." Upon hearing the words "passed," Kamikaze felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She let out a long sigh of relief, but just as she was about to exclaim in celebration, she suddenly realized something was wrong. "Huh? Wait, what did you say? Savoy and I both passed?"

Kamikaze looked at Lexington with a puzzled expression.

“Yes, everyone’s happy,” Lexington said with a smile.

"Everyone...everyone's happy?!" Kamikaze opened his mouth, then immediately turned red with embarrassment and shouted, "Didn't you just say there weren't enough spots???"

"Well... there really aren't enough spots, but seeing how much effort you all put into joining the naval base, even I can't bear to turn you away."

"Then...who are you going to capture to be sacrificed?"

"Huh? What sacrifice?"

"Didn't you just say that people who didn't join the naval base would be made scapegoats?"

"Oh dear, I didn't say that." Lexington cupped her face in one hand, smiling at Kamikaze. "These words didn't come from my mouth, Miss Kamikaze. It's not good that you misunderstood."

"Huh?" Kamikaze was taken aback, then looked at Savoy.

"Shh~" Savoy averted his gaze, turned his head away, put his hands behind his back, and whistled.
