Elder brother's garrison

Page 2484

Before Xiaobai and her companions could even stand still in the hall, the attendant ship girls stepped forward and bowed respectfully to them.

"President Lu Lin, you're back!"

"Shh, keep it down, keep it down." Xiaobai clearly felt the atmosphere tense up because someone had mentioned her name, so she quickly gestured for the ship girl in front of her to be quiet. "Just take us to see Miss Yingying..."

The ship girl attendants nodded in agreement, then led everyone through the crowd to the door of Luo Yingying's office.

Luo Yingying's office door was ajar.

There was a large sign on the door that read "Do Not Knock".

"What does it mean that we can't knock on the door?" Xiaobai asked the ship girl attendants, pointing at Luo Yingying's door.

"Reporting to the president, Supervisor Yingying said that we can go straight in to report anything without having to knock, which saves us time."

"I see……"

Xiaobai thanked the ship girl attendants. She first looked at the four big characters on the door with some emotion, and admired Luo Yingying's work efforts. Then she gently reached out and pushed open the door to Luo Yingying's office.

Speaking of which, it's been a few months since Xiaobai last saw Luo Yingying.

I wonder if Miss Yingying has become haggard these past few months because I've dumped all my work on her...

When the office door was opened, the scene inside was almost exactly the same as when Xiaobai left.

Luo Yingying was sitting at her desk, facing the door, her ballpoint pen flying across the paper.

Xiao Bai took a quick look at Luo Yingying's complexion.

Xiao Bai raised an eyebrow.

oh well...

Miss Yingying's complexion... is surprisingly good. Her face is rosy, her breathing is long and steady, and her energetic demeanor doesn't look like she's been carrying out such a heavy workload.

Xiao Bai thought Luo Yingying's complexion would at least look tired or dry, but her rosy and healthy appearance far exceeded Xiao Bai's expectations.

"What's the matter?" Luo Yingying asked, her head down as she worked in the office.

"Ahem." Xiaobai coughed.

“…Crack!”

Suddenly, Luo Yingying's hand trembled, and her ballpoint pen broke in two.

Luo Yingying looked up in astonishment, staring at Xiaobai in fear.

Upon seeing Xiaobai's adorable face, petite figure, and the several ship girls behind her, Luo Yingying's healthy, rosy complexion instantly turned deathly pale and withered, as if she were about to die.

This is right...

Xiao Bai nodded in agreement as he watched Luo Yingying's expression change.

It seems that Miss Yingying's healthy state was just an act for others. Only when she sees someone she can trust will she drop the pretense and show her vulnerable side.

Ok.

It must be like this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai felt even more grateful to Luo Yingying.

"Yes, President..." Luo Yingying murmured, her lips trembling.

“Miss Yingying, it’s been a long time. You look much more tired than before.” Xiaobai said to Luo Yingying regretfully. “But it’s okay. I’m back now. You can leave the work to me.”

"Ah..." Luo Yingying stammered as she got up. She looked at Xiaobai and couldn't say anything for a moment.

Xiao Bai smiled as she looked at Luo Yingying's expression.

look.

Miss Yingying was so moved when she saw him return that she couldn't speak.

This Admiral's Guild really can't function without me.

Luo Yingying covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

--ah!

— Luo Yingying almost forgot, the Admiral's Guild actually has a guild leader!

For the past few months, Luo Yingying has been living a very peaceful and stable life. She is so happy that she has even put all her previous troubles behind her.

However, happy days are always short-lived, and trials will eventually come.

Luo Yingying finally remembered the days when she was ruled by the admiral of the newbie naval base...

Luo Yingying's eyes lost their luster.

"Yes, President... welcome back..." Luo Ying lowered her head, her expression desperate, and said in a low voice.

"Miss Yingying, I'm back!" Xiaobai raised her hand, her lively demeanor a stark contrast to Luo Yingying's. "How's work at the Admiral's Guild going?"

"Everything is proceeding smoothly without any problems...President, please wait a moment, I will begin to hand over your work..." Luo Yingying said softly.

"Ah, Miss Yingying, no rush!" Xiaobai stopped her. "I came to the Admiral's Guild this time and want to go to the construction floor first."

"Build floors?" Luo Yingying was taken aback.

"Yes, I want to go do some major construction. Could you help me with the paperwork? I'll come back and discuss the handover details with you after the construction is finished." Xiaobai clasped her hands together somewhat shyly and pleaded, "Um... can I postpone the president's work for now and do it when I get back?"

"..." Luo Yingying looked at Xiaobai, her withered expression briefly regaining some light, "Ah, sure, of course! I'll allocate the construction materials for you right away!"

For Luo Yingying, the later the despairing tomorrow arrives, the better.

She really wished that Xiaobai could live in the building for a whole year.

Luo Yingying quickly arranged manpower and resources for Xiaobai, and summoned a large group of people to escort Xiaobai and his group out of the office and upstairs to the construction floor.

That was incredibly meticulous.

Soon, escorted by a group of people, Xiaobai and the ship girls arrived at the construction floor.

Xiaobai had been to the Admiral's Guild's construction floor a few times before, but back then Xiaobai wasn't the guild leader yet, and the construction floor was during the event of the three special ship girls, which made the floor relatively crowded.

Perhaps because the event had completely ended, when Xiaobai arrived at the construction floor, there were very few people. Only a few admirals were listlessly throwing resources into construction in a few corners. The construction devices in front of them were emitting black smoke, which swirled around the admirals' bodies. They seemed to have completely gotten used to it and continued to numbly load resources.

"There are far fewer people here than in chapters five and six," Enterprise said to Xiaobai, curiously observing her surroundings.

“After all, this is Chapter 8… The admirals who can get here all have naval bases that are quite large, and most of them don’t lack ship girls.” Xiaobai said with a smile, “Well, fewer people is a good thing for us, at least no one will compete with us for the construction equipment.”

Chapter 3474 Littorio

As Xiaobai and his group entered the building, soon, the staff that Luo Yingying had arranged in advance rushed in one after another, carrying large buckets of supplies and deep-sea metal in their left and right hands.

Suddenly, the once quiet construction floor became bustling with activity.

The staff who rushed into the venue found Xiaobai and the others immediately. They carried supplies and deep-sea metal and came to Xiaobai, standing in two neat rows. They took a deep breath and bowed respectfully to Xiaobai.

"Guild Master! These are your construction materials!!!"

"Thank you all." Xiaobai smiled at the staff.

"You're welcome, Chairman!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

"The president works even harder!"

"...Who taught you this slogan?"

"..." The staff looked at each other.

The ship girls behind Xiaobai walked out from both sides of her, reaching out their hands to take the construction materials from the staff one after another.

"...President, is there anything else you need?" The staff members watched cautiously as the ship girls of Xiaobai stepped forward to help take the supplies. They stood there empty-handed, looking at Xiaobai like a group of little animals waiting for instructions, obediently awaiting their orders. "If the supplies are not enough, we can go back and get more."

"I have no more requests." Xiaobai nodded to the staff, her gaze helpless. "Also, you don't need to be so polite next time..."

"I know, I know..."

"Okay, go and get busy."

After listening to Xiaobai's words, the staff members exchanged glances, bowed to Xiaobai, and retreated, leaving the construction floor like the receding tide.

Blah blah blah...

The soft footsteps faded into the distance.

The large number of staff appearing and leaving the construction floor naturally attracted the attention of the admirals who were already building there.

The admirals all turned to look at Xiaobai, and upon seeing his signature smooth white hair, they almost simultaneously shuddered and gasped in shock.

"hiss!!!"

"The world's number one admiral!"

"Yes, it's that woman!"

"Oh my god, she's back!"

"Run! Run! Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

The admirals' hushed voices echoed through the building.

The next moment, the admirals on the floor didn't even bother with the construction equipment that was running. They quickly called the ship girls next to them, picked up the remaining resource barrels at their feet, and, with pale faces, dragged their families downstairs as if they were avoiding a flood or a ferocious beast.

In just a few blinks of an eye, only Xiaobai and his group remained in the entire floor.

Xiaobai said she was completely used to this outcome, and she just gave a helpless bitter smile at the departing admirals.

Why is it that despite doing so many good deeds, public opinion is recovering so slowly?

The road to restoring the title of the world's number one admiral is truly long and arduous.

"Wow, every bucket of deep-sea metal is full, and it smells so high quality!" After the staff and other admirals left, Roma, who was behind Xiaobai, put her snow-white arm through the pull ring of the deep-sea metal bucket, picked up four or five buckets of resources in one hand, and stood up. She tried to push the heavy buckets like dumbbells, and turned to Xiaobai to ask, "Admiral, how much do all these resources cost in total?"

"Probably a few hundred thousand merit points..." Xiao Bai replied, "Rome, you can keep it for now, let's go find a construction machine."

"Alright!" Roma stretched out his foot, hooked a few more buckets of resources, and skillfully carried them on his back.

Normally, when Roma is doing ship girl training, the weight she carries is no less than what she's carrying now. Today, accompanying Shiro on a large-scale construction trip caused a gap in Roma's training schedule. Having gotten used to high-intensity training, Roma actually felt light-footed and couldn't help but want to do a few heavy snatch bench presses.

Veneto placed the resource bucket in Rome's arms and turned to follow Little White.

Xiaobai glanced around the empty construction floor and quickly spotted the ship girl construction device she had used here before.

Xiao Bai led everyone to the construction device.

Compared to the ship girl construction devices in other locations, this construction device in front of us looks much newer, with almost no wear and tear from frequent use.

This ship girl construction device was once hailed by the admirals of Chapter 8 as a magical existence known as the "super unlucky construction machine". Although Xiaobai and Nia successfully obtained the Roman Empire of Jean Bart and Nia's family through this construction machine during the event, other admirals suffered considerable losses with this construction machine, and the name of this unlucky construction machine became more and more solidified.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Now, most of the admirals in Chapter 8 have heard rumors about this "unlucky construction machine." With the mindset of "better safe than sorry," the admirals try their best to avoid contact with the machine when using the construction device, as if they are afraid of getting some bad luck.

Xiao Bai reached out and touched the construction machine in front of him.

"I really miss those days," Xiaobai sighed.

"Admiral, are we sure we want to use this construction machine?" Veneto asked Xiaobai from the side.

"Hmm? Veneto, you also know about this construction machine?"

"What construction machine?"

"So what you just said was..."

"The admirals who just left seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally looking away from this machine," Veneto asked, arms crossed. "So, is there something wrong with it?"

“…Ah.” Xiaobai smiled upon hearing this. “It’s alright, this machine is working fine.”

After Xiaobai finished speaking, he rubbed his palm on the outer shell of the construction machine again.

A non-European construction machine... so what?

Your own family's business can defy fate.

Besides, Xiaobai himself is an incurable unlucky admiral, so using this unlucky construction machine is a perfect match and perfectly justified.

"The company is now in your hands," Xiaobai said, smiling at the company.

"Okay." Enterprise walked up carrying a bucket of resources. She first looked down at the bunch of yellow, red, and green buttons on the control panel, and quickly showed a troubled look on her face. She turned to Xiaobai and asked, "Admiral, how do you operate this machine? I forgot."

"It's okay, press whatever you want." Xiaobai's message to the business owner was one of reassurance.

The company then tapped several buttons on the operating platform, carried the bucket to the resource entrance, symbolically poured some water into it, and finally pressed the largest button to start construction.
