Elder brother's garrison

Little White, who was leaning against the door, blinked and nodded thoughtfully.

Judging from the conversation between Veneto and Roma, it seems that Veneto is discussing with Roma what to wear when they go out together today?

Veneto seems to be seriously considering her outfit for today.

No wonder she, Rome, and the Empire didn't show up all morning.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but look down at his clothes.

Xiao Bai's outfit today wasn't exactly simple, but it was very ordinary and casual, just like yesterday's.

Xiao Bai fell into deep thought.

Ok……

Since Veneto is considering her outfit so formally, should I also go back to my room and change into something more formal...?

Xiao Bai touched his clothes and began to think.

Just then, the sound of Veneto and Rome talking could be heard again from Veneto's room.

"Forget it, I'd better not wear this."

"Hey? What's wrong with the boss now?"

"This outfit is not very convenient for movement, and it can actually become an obstacle in some emergency situations."

"That makes sense..."

"...I think I should just go back to wearing this outfit."

"Is this the set?? But, but..."

"It's alright. I thought about it for a long time, and this outfit is definitely the most suitable for going out with the Admiral."

"...Alright then..." Rome sounded somewhat dejected in the room.

"..."

The room was quiet for a while.

You can faintly hear the rustling sound of clothes being put on.

"Rome, thank you for your hard work, accompanying me to try on clothes so early in the morning." After a while, Veneto's voice rang out.

"It's alright! I, Roma, am happy to work for the boss!"

"How about this last outfit?"

"Just as impeccable as her usual bossy self! And super cute too!"

"I can rest assured that."

"Hehe, Big Sister, you tidy up your clothes first, I'll go downstairs and see if the Admiral is awake yet!"

As soon as Rome finished speaking, a series of footsteps came straight towards the door.

Upon hearing the approaching footsteps, Xiaobai, who was eavesdropping at the door, hurriedly retreated several steps.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

Rome held onto the door with one hand and peeked out of the room. She immediately saw Little White not far from the door and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Huh? Is this the Admiral?" Rome was surprised to see Xiaobai's new look.

"Uh, Rome, good morning..." Xiaobai felt a sudden embarrassment, as if she'd been caught red-handed doing something wrong. She forced a smile, then gestured towards Rome, "Um... let me explain, I..."

"Oh! Admiral, are you new here?!" Before Xiaobai could finish speaking, Roma's eyes lit up with intense surprise. She quickly turned her head and shouted into the room, "Big Sister! Look! The Admiral came to wake us up! He even put on a new makeup today!"

"Is that the admiral?"

Veneto's voice rang out, followed by a series of light footsteps approaching from behind Rome.

Upon hearing Veneto's voice, Xiaobai immediately stood up straight and nervously looked at the door.

Soon, Veneto emerged from under Rome's arm.

Xiaobai and Veneto's eyes met in the air, and both of them were stunned.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

According to what Xiaobai just overheard, Veneto seemed to have been discussing his outfit for today's outing with Rome until now.

Based on their recent discussion, Veneto, who appeared before Xiaobai, should be wearing her most satisfactory outfit after careful selection.

Veneto, who appeared before Xiaobai at this moment, had short, snow-white hair styled at an angle, topped with a black mesh hat. A pure black fur shawl was draped over her delicate shoulders, and she wore gangster-style black gloves. She was dressed in a white suit with a red and white tie, black stockings, and cute black high heels. She looked as exquisite as a porcelain doll.

very nice.

It looks very good.

But... isn't this Veneto's most everyday outfit?

She wore the same outfit when she got off the plane yesterday.

Xiaobai never expected that Veneto would choose the most classic style of clothing.

While Xiaobai was in a daze, Veneto was also looking at Xiaobai in surprise.

"Admiral, why... have you reverted to your old self?" Veneto asked Whitey.

Little White was reminded by Veneto's voice and quickly came to his senses.

"Ah? Ah, ah... um, I did a little disguise." Xiaobai smiled shyly, raised her hand to touch the black hair by her ear, and explained, "So I asked Missouri for help before I came..."

“Oh…” Veneto stared at Little White’s face and nodded as if he understood.

"Hmm? Big sister, what do you mean by the way the Admiral used to be?" Roma, who had been listening to Xiaobai and Veneto's conversation, curiously squeezed between them and asked Veneto.

“Rome, the admiral’s hair wasn’t white before. She had black hair and black eyes, just like most people in her homeland,” Veneto explained, turning to Rome. “It was only after she acquired the Abyssal Ship Equipment that the admiral’s hair and eye color changed.”

"Oh! I see!" Rome exclaimed in sudden realization. "I've never heard of that before!"

“After all, he was an admiral from a long time ago.” Veneto shook her head and patted Roma on the waist. “Alright, stop asking about these rumors. You’ve had a good morning. Go take the Empire to breakfast.”

"Oh! Boss! Understood!" Rome, having received Veneto's instruction, immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Rome turned and ran into the room, and a few seconds later he came out carrying the still-sleeping empire.

"Admiral, Empire and I are going to eat now! You and Big Sister can chat all you want! Talk about sweet things! No one will bother you two from now on!" Rome grinned at Little White, then hugged Empire and ran down the stairs, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Veneto gazed in the direction where Rome had disappeared, tapped her forehead in exasperation, and shook her head toward the stairs.

"Admiral, Rome speaks without thinking, please forgive him for any offense." Veneto said to Little White with a hint of apology.

"It's alright, it's alright." Xiaobai smiled and shook her head. She stared at Veneto's outfit for a while, then slowly said, "Well... speaking of which, Veneto, your outfit today... um... is quite classic."

"This outfit?" Veneto seemed a little surprised that Xiaobai could bring up this topic. She looked down and tugged at her shawl before speaking to Xiaobai, "Well... after I got up this morning, I was looking for an outfit that was relatively beautiful, could give the admiral a sense of security, and could also highlight my personal style. I tried on a lot of outfits with Roma before, but in the end, this one was definitely the most suitable for me."

At this point, Veneto stopped pulling at his shawl and looked at Little White with a hint of worry.

"Was it really too ordinary after all?"

"No, no, no!" Xiaobai quickly shook her head, then said to Veneto, "This outfit is the perfect style for you, Veneto! It looks great, fits you perfectly, and is very... mature! In short, it suits you very well! I love it!"

"Admiral... do you think I'm mature like this?" Veneto seemed somewhat surprised.

"Yes," Xiaobai smiled.

"I see..." Veneto stared blankly at Xiaobai's smile, somewhat surprised. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and then her lips involuntarily moved upwards. "Um... um... I see..."

Chapter 2474 Zaima? Want a gas cylinder?

On a weekday morning.

The office was bright and sunny.

"Mr. Chen, this is today's company schedule. Please take a look." A smartly dressed, attractive secretary walked to the desk, bent down, and placed a stack of freshly printed schedules on the table. As she bent over, the impressive undulating fabric, even through the thick layer of clothing, still exuded a strong presence.

This is a sight that most men in the world can't help but glance at.

But at this moment, Director Chen, sitting at his desk, did not glance at his secretary in front of him.

Director Chen simply sat quietly in his seat, his hands raised and crossed in front of his mouth, his eyes fixed on the stacks of documents on the table. For a moment, he was like a still statue, without making any movement.

"Mr. Chen?" The female secretary saw that Director Chen was unmoved and was just looking down at the table, so she couldn't help but remind him softly.

"Okay, you can go now." Director Chen finally spoke after being reminded by his female secretary, but his eyes remained fixed on the documents on the table.

After receiving Director Chen's response, the female secretary bowed slightly to him and then left the office with the documents in her hands.

Director Chen was the only one left in the office.

Sunlight streamed through the gauze curtains onto the documents on the desk, and the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

After a long time.

A faint male sigh echoed through the quiet office.

"Ugh……"

Director Chen pushed aside the schedule with some worry and picked up other documents on the table.

The document in Director Chen's hand had the words "Kantai Collection Girl Group Project and Recent Report" written in large characters, and the name of the reporter, "Miao Yang," was written in the lower right corner of the document.

The document in Director Chen's hand was a report written some time ago when Miao Yang, the most capable and youngest member of Director Chen's studio, temporarily replaced Xiao Bai and led the Kantai Collection girl group in idol activities. The document meticulously described the planning and development trends of the Kantai Collection girl group and professionally listed many directions for the development of the Kantai Collection girl group in light of the current industry environment. Miao Yang's arguments were extremely valuable for reference. Her unique vision, avant-garde taste, and far-reaching thinking impressed Director Chen countless times with Miao Yang's high level of professional ability.

However, after reading the project report, Director Chen was also caught in a rather conflicted state of mind.

"...In conclusion, the Kantai Collection girl group is nothing short of a game-changer for the current entertainment industry. Throughout the centuries-long history of the entertainment world, only a handful of exceptionally talented individuals have the potential to rival them, and among current stars, only Lu Ming stands out. If the company increases its support and continues to pour resources into them, the Kantai Collection girl group will likely sweep across the human world within a year, dominating music, dance, film, and a whole host of other fields with overwhelming force..." Director Chen read from the document in his hand. At this point, his brows furrowed, and his face grew increasingly worried. "...However... Kantai Collection girls are not beings that ordinary people can control... In the short week since I, Miao Yang, took over, my mental state has been almost completely drained by the seemingly endless energy of the Kantai Collection girls. I've clearly felt physical exhaustion and symptoms of neurasthenia..."

Director Chen flipped through the documents in his hand and quickly found Miao Yang's itinerary list for the week on the last few pages.

"On [date], the Kantai Collection girl group was ambushed by fans while passing through [location]. Among them, Kantai Collection girl Savoy intervened and nearly threw a fan who was not taking any safety precautions into the center of the lake."

"..."

"On [date], the girl group's work had to be postponed because the ship girls were clamoring for smoothies on the way, which caused dissatisfaction from the client."

"At noon that same day, the ship girl Musashi ate all the food samples that the client company used for advertising..."

"That afternoon, learning from the experience of the morning, we set off half an hour earlier. However, while the ship girls were playing around on the way, they accidentally punctured the fuel tank of the van, which prevented us from arriving at the work location on time, so we were still late."

"..."

"On [date], the ship girls were dissatisfied with the boxed lunches provided by the company, so they drove to the nearest steakhouse and ordered steak sets for forty people, and replanned their driving route."

"By the way, ship girl Musashi ate twenty servings by herself."

"On [date], we caught the ship girls trying to light a gas canister. Fortunately, no serious consequences occurred."

"..."

"On [date], when we arrived at the work location to record a song, three ship girls suddenly went missing. They were found at a nearby cake shop half an hour later."

"..."

"On [date], the ship girls were caught lighting gas canisters again."

"On [date], I was late for work, but the client said they were used to it."

"On [date], the film recording was delayed again because the ship girls almost got into a fight during the journey."

"..."

"On [date], the ship girls nearly bombed the central building with gas canisters, but fortunately they were stopped in time."

"..."

The documents in Director Chen's hand were as thick as a palm, and each page was filled with entries such as "On [date], [ship girl's name] experienced [sudden incident]". These entries, stacked together, formed a thickness comparable to a large dictionary. Even without seeing Miao Yang in person, just by holding the documents in his hand, Director Chen could clearly feel how desperate and exhausted Miao Yang was when she recorded these entries.

"Sigh... Simply put, ship girls are extremely difficult to manage... right..." Director Chen closed the file, rubbing his temples with a troubled expression. "Compared to human girls, the almost soul-like freedom of ship girls makes it impossible for ordinary people to restrain them with rules or doctrines. They also have great difficulty understanding the rules of human society, which adds a lot of trouble to the planned work..."

And for some reason, the ship girls seem to be quite obsessed with the destructive act of lighting gas canisters...

Director Chen reluctantly turned to the last page of the document.

"I, Miao Yang, hereby request a three-month leave to recover from the trauma I suffered during the short week I spent with the ship girls. If this is not approved, I will resign."

A line of handwritten words by Miao Yang was like a tearful accusation, causing Director Chen, sitting at the table, to helplessly cover his face.

Director Chen let out a long sigh.

Miao Yang is the youngest in Director Chen's studio, but she is the most experienced, the most capable, and the most likely to succeed him...

When Director Chen heard from Xiao Bai that she needed someone to help lead the ship girls during her absence from Yuncheng, he recommended the most suitable and powerful candidate to her without hesitation. Director Chen thought that Miao Yang was the best agent he had ever met among the younger generation, with rich experience and extensive connections, and was the perfect candidate to lead the ship girl group. She might even be more suitable than Xiao Bai herself. But the result was a huge surprise to Director Chen.

In just one week, Miao Yang, the successor to whom he had placed high hopes, was put on hold by the ship girls and put into a three-month-long cooldown period...
