Elder brother's garrison

Page 1793

Previously at the airport, because there were many people there, and because Lu Ming needed to get medical checkups and treatment quickly, the ship girls restrained their emotions and didn't cause her any trouble. But now that Shiro and Lu Ming have appeared in the living room, the ship girls finally have the opportunity to unleash their inner fangirls.

"Miss Lu Ming! Autograph, autograph!"

The ship girls took out the paper and pens they had prepared beforehand and excitedly handed them to Lu Ming.

Faced with the swarm of ship girls, Lu Ming was momentarily bewildered, seemingly unaware of her popularity among the ship girl crowd.

Looking at the ship girls who were smiling and asking for autographs, Lu Ming was stunned for a moment before showing a rare shyness. She carefully stood up from next to Mutsu, picked up the paper and pen handed to her by the ship girls, and pondered for a while.

"Which name should I... should I write?" Lu Ming asked the ship girls tentatively.

"Huh?" The ship girls were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other.

“Let’s write Lu Ming’s name,” Lu Ao explained with a smile to Lu Ming, “They all know you from TV, so let’s just write your actor’s name.”

"Mm." Lu Ming nodded sweetly, then carefully wrote her signature and handed it back.

"Wow! Thank you, Miss Luming!" The ship girls, having received Luming's autograph, clutched the autographed papers to their chests as if they had found a treasure, revealing satisfied smiles.

Lu Ming silently watched the ship girls cheer, a hint of envy appearing in his eyes.

"Miss Luming, you're awake." Xiaobai walked through the crowd to the stairs, smiling at Luming and Lutsu. "Are you feeling better?"

"I feel...much better." Lu Ming gazed gently at Xiao Bai, and bowed slightly to her. "...Thank you...for saving my life."

“Strictly speaking, it was the goddess of the hearth and Yubari who saved your life.” Xiaobai smiled. “My role is just that of a slightly special medical tool. If you want to thank someone, thank them.”

“…Mm.” Lu Ming nodded gently.

"Admiral, I've passed on your message to Shropshire." Mutsu said with a smile, stepping between Shiro and Shikamaru. "This girl just agreed to stay with us for a month."

Chapter 2469 Lu Ming's Aftermath

"Really? Sister Luming, you agree to stay with us?" As soon as Xiaobai heard Lu Ao's words, she quickly looked at Luming.

"I apologize for disturbing you..." Lu Ming gently patted his chest and carefully bowed his head to Xiao Bai.

"No problem, no problem." Xiaobai waved her hand with a smile. "Miss Luming, please make yourself at home here for the time being. Everyone here welcomes you, so please don't be shy."

The surrounding ship girls also responded.

"Yeah!"

"Miss Lu Ming is going to stay with us for a month?! Wow, what an amazing experience this is!"

"Opportunities to live with a big star are rare."

"Panty panties! Pantyhose!"

"Does this mean I've successfully become a fan?"

"I dream of talking and chatting with Miss Lu Ming. Wouldn't that be a great opportunity to have a good time!"

"Waaaa, Miss Lu Ming is even prettier than she is on TV!"

"..."

The ship girls greeted Shikamaru with warm and hospitable smiles.

Lu Ming looked at the ship girls smiling at her, and was momentarily dazed, but she quickly came to her senses and bowed to all of them.

Xiaobai looked at Luming and the ship girls with a smile that she couldn't hide.

Miss Lu Ming is clearly a world-class movie star, but surprisingly she has no airs of a celebrity. When she treats others, Lu Ming never evokes the slightest bit of dislike. She is always so polite and quiet... or rather, her politeness is a bit too much.

Perhaps, this is the pure soul of the ship girls.

Xiaobai handed Luming over to the ship girls at home. The ship girls, as if they had found a treasure, excitedly ran up and, without saying a word, carried Luming down the stairs. Then, they took the somewhat bewildered Luming to the guest table in the center of the hall.

"Miss Luming, would you like a cola?"

"There's ice right here!"

"Miss Luming, would you like some snacks? We have beef jerky, potato chips, pumpkin strips..."

"Miss Luming, would you like to see something? I have all the high-definition CDs of your debut works here!"

"..."

The ship girls warmly surrounded Shikamei on the sofa in the living room.

Lu Ming was momentarily overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the ship girls around her. Faced with questions coming from all directions, Lu Ming's brain went blank for a moment. Her face turned slightly red, her hands were neatly placed on her lap, and steam began to rise from the top of her head.

Not far away, Little White smiled as he watched Lu Ming.

Looking at Lu Ming now, Xiao Bai couldn't help but recall the days when he first entered the newbie garrison.

Back then, Xiaobai was just like Luming now. Because she lacked experience in dealing with a large number of ship girls at once, she was at a loss when faced with their barrage of questions. She didn't know what kind of expression or words to use to respond to their kindness. In the end, she had no choice but to have her brain shut down and stand there like a piece of smoldering wood.

How to respond to the enthusiasm of ship girls is an art, but there are no shortcuts to learning it; even those involved can only adapt over time.

Xiao Bai looked away and took out her phone.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Bai dialed Lu Ming's agent's number.

The phone number was answered instantly before the dial tone even sounded.

"Hello? Is this Admiral Lu Lin?"

The voice of Lu Ming's agent on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat nervous and urgent.

"Ah... Manager, it's me." Xiaobai glanced at Shikamaru surrounded by ship girls not far away, then walked to a relatively quiet corner of the lobby while holding the phone. "I'm calling to inform you about Ms. Shikamaru's situation..."

"Has Lu Ming's treatment been successful?" the agent asked hurriedly on the other end of the phone.

"Hmm... the treatment is progressing smoothly so far."

"Currently?" The agent's tone became puzzled. "Admiral Lu Lin, did you call me during your treatment?"

"I guess so," Xiaobai nodded.

"..." There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, the manager's deep voice slowly sounded, "...Could it be that Lu Ming... encountered some trouble during his treatment..."

"No, no, don't overthink it." Xiaobai quickly reassured the person on the other end of the phone. She scratched her cheek and continued, "Miss Luming's treatment so far has been very successful, and she is now out of danger. However, she still needs another course of treatment before she can fully recover. During this time, she will need to rest here with me for about a month. I'm asking you for leave on behalf of Miss Luming."

"...A month?" The agent asked in surprise on the other end of the phone.

“Yes, a month.” Xiaobai nodded seriously. She took a deep breath and began to persuade her manager, “This is a conservative rest period given by our ship girl doctor based on Ms. Luming’s physical condition. Manager, I know how important Ms. Luming is to your company, and I know how much a month-long hiatus will affect Ms. Luming’s career, but…”

"Hahahaha! One month!" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, the agent's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone.

Xiao Bai stared in disbelief, mouth agape.

"Admiral Lu Lin is truly a miracle doctor! I never imagined you could cure Lu Ming in just one month!" The agent laughed heartily with relief. "A month's leave, right? No problem, leave the company matters to me. With my authority, I might not be able to get anything else approved, but I can definitely approve a few months' leave if I really want it!"

"Huh..." Xiaobai was stunned. "Mr. Agent, you've already agreed?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Is it strange?"

"I thought you would object to Miss Luming's vacation..."

"Well... about this... Lu Ming is, after all, a pillar of our company, and her leave does indeed have a significant impact on the company's operations. Under normal circumstances, her leave is not permitted." The agent on the other end of the phone chuckled, then slowly explained, "But Admiral Lu Lin, everything must be considered on a case-by-case basis. You probably don't know, but Lu Ming's health condition was previously assessed as critical by the hospital. According to the doctors, Lu Ming might not live more than three days... Just a few hours ago, I even received a call from the medical community. They are preparing to name this special condition of unexplained failure of all organs Lu Ming Syndrome! After learning about this, our company even prepared Lu Ming's obituary."

"Uh……"

"However, Admiral Lu Lin, you told me that Lu Ming will be staying at your house for a month!" The agent burst into laughter. "An incurable disease that has been pronounced deadly by the human medical community is treated as easily and comfortably as a cold or fever by you, Admiral Lu Lin. Tell me, with such an outcome, would anyone not cooperate with your treatment plan?"

"It seems so..." Xiao Bai listened to his manager's words and felt that they made a lot of sense.

"In short, leave the matter of persuading the company to me. I'll leave Lu Ming to Admiral Lu Lin for the next month. Once Lu Ming has recovered, I will ask you for your opinion on treatment compensation on behalf of the entire company."

"As for compensation, it's just a small favor, there's no need to give me anything special."

"That won't do, the payment must be made."

The agent kept his word firmly in his heart.

Since the agent had already said all that, Xiaobai could only smile helplessly and nod into the microphone.

"OK then."

"By the way, Admiral Lu Lin, now that the treatment has temporarily ended, may I ask if..."

"I'll send you pictures of Miss Lu Ming, right?" Xiao Bai smiled. "I won't make things difficult for you. I'll take the pictures and send them to you after I hang up the phone."

"Thank you very much!"

"..."

After a brief farewell to her agent, Xiaobai hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai raised her phone, switched to the camera function, and took a picture of Luming on the sofa.

"I didn't expect the agent to be so easy to talk to... I thought it would take a lot of persuasion to convince him to let Miss Lu Ming stay with me, but he agreed so readily. Hmm... I prepared so many persuasive lines to convince him, but it seems I won't need any of them." Xiao Bai muttered to herself with some regret, her hands not idle. She edited the photos she had just taken into an email and then sent it to Lu Ming's company email address. "Three, two, one, is that all?"

After seeing the message indicating successful delivery, Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief.

it is good.

The agent's company has also been contacted, so Ms. Luming can finally rest easy from now on.

During the month that Lu Ming is resting at home, he shouldn't be bored with the company of the ship girls. He should start planning his actions for the next period of time.

Xiao Bai silently stared at her phone screen, her gaze lingering on the calendar, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

One month left.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner.

Xiao Bai gently touched the phone screen with her finger, slowly concealing the anticipation in her eyes, and put the phone back in her pocket.

"Admiral, want to watch a movie together?" The ship girls, seeing Xiaobai alone in the corner of the hall, quickly called out to her from the sofa.

"Oh, coming, coming." Xiaobai smiled and patted the phone in her pocket before walking towards the ship girls.

"Yay! Let's watch the movie starring Miss Lu Ming together today!"

"Admiral, we've made room for you, right next to Miss Shikamei!"

"..."

The ship girls embraced Xiaobai on both sides and pushed her down next to Luming.

The hall was filled with a lively atmosphere.

Tonight, the dinner at the villa was exceptionally sumptuous.

With Missouri as his assistant, Akagi was like a god, and the two of them worked like magic in the kitchen. In no time, one gorgeous and delicious dish after another was served.

Xiaobai took a break and told Akagi and Missouri, who were in charge of cooking, that Luming needed to replenish his blood. After learning about this, Akagi and Missouri immediately gave Luming extra food.

Stir-fried duck blood with chives.

Ginger, jujube, and brown sugar water.

Red bean eight-treasure rice.

Honey-stuffed lotus root...

Whether it was the effects of the food supplements that were too strong, or he was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the ship girls, during dinner, Luming's face was flushed red with blood.

Chapter 2470 Skillfully Managing People's Hearts

The next morning arrived.

"Huh? Lexington, what did you just say?"

Deep Sea Yamato stared in surprise at Lexington across from him, and the bun he was biting fell into the bowl with a splat as his mouth opened wide.

At the dining table, the directors of the Deep Sea Academy held their bowls of white porridge, staring blankly at Lexington, who was sitting at the far end of the table.

"What I just said is that from today onwards, I will be your manager, Yamato." Lexington smiled at the Deep Sea Deans before her, raising her hands and lightly touching her fingers together. "This is my first time being a manager, so please forgive me if I do anything wrong."

"Eh...Eh??!" Yamato's eyes widened, and she quickly looked at Shiro beside her. "Shiro! Why!? Did Lexington threaten you?!"

"Ah... well..." Shiro scratched his head, smiling somewhat embarrassedly at Yamato Abyss, "It's not really a threat..."

"I asked Xiaobai for it myself. Because being the manager for all the ship girls seems like a lot of fun," Lexington said with a smile, her expression a mix of poise and playfulness.

But seeing Lexington's smile, all the Deep Sea Deans present trembled, and their hands holding the bowls of white porridge began to shake.

"Shiro, this is abuse, this is abuse!!" Yamato Fukami grabbed Shiro's shoulders and shook him violently. "No, no, no, no!! If Lexington becomes our manager, given her personality, she'll definitely play all sorts of pranks on us!!!"

"Ah, Yamato, listen, I..." Shiro was so shaken by Abyss Yamato that she couldn't even speak.

"How could that be? I've always treated everyone with the utmost sincerity!" Lexington stroked her cheek with one hand, looking at Yamato Aqua with a somber expression. "I've never played any pranks, nor have I ever intended to do so to anyone."

"You fart!"
