Shitou put out his cigarette, stood up, glanced at Lao Zhao, touched his prickly short hair and said nothing.
Although the other party was very sharp-tongued, Shi Tou had to admit that Lao Zhao, who devoted himself to research, was really good to his only first female ship.
It is said that from his late twenties to his early forties, he has not been in a relationship or doing any construction for more than ten years, and has only treated the destroyer as his daughter, which is extremely rare among commanders.
He is very hypocritical. He is always sarcastic to outsiders but very friendly to his friends. He is a good father but not a good colleague.
Shitou was staring at the father and daughter in a trance when he heard a voice that made his heart flutter, "Commander? Can we set off now?"
"Ah...ah, the pursuer..." A faint blush appeared on his dark face, "Ahahaha...I, I heard from Xiao Zheng that the person is outside, right? You've been waiting for a long time..."
The Royal Carrier Chaser shook his head upon hearing this, "I had a pleasant chat with them, you don't have to worry too much about it."
"Oh, oh... then, shall we set off now?"
The pursuer looked up at his commander and elegantly brushed away the ash on his clothes. "You'd better smoke less. It's bad for your health."
"Okay, I've actually already quit, it's Xiao Zheng..."
The bearded man who was rubbing his arm pretending to be burned by cigarette ash froze. He didn't dare to look at his secretary-ship. He laughed awkwardly and asked a few people to leave. He was disgusted with Shi Tou's ruthlessness in his heart.
The woman surnamed Yin looked around, then got up and went out, and happened to meet Bi who was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand.
The Sakura Empire battleship approached and unscrewed the bottle cap. "Commander, drink something. It's hot outside, so it's better to drink some water."
"Well, thanks. Is the form sorted?"
"It's sorted. Don't worry. It's arranged according to your habits. You can start directly when you get there."
"Well, thank you."
"Commander is still too distant with me, how about you try to accept me?"
Commander Yin looked cold and spoke few and direct words, "I don't want to try it. I can't accept it. It hurts too much and affects my work."
The other people present were all stunned. Gu Feng didn't understand, so he looked up and asked Lao Zhao softly, but Lao Zhao covered his ears and carried him out.
She nodded and apologized to everyone embarrassedly, but did not correct her commander. She knew that the other party was single-minded, but she did not think it was a shortcoming. It sounded cute sometimes.
Commander Zheng laughed it off, and when they left the hotel, they discovered that Commander Chen, who had been late for a long time, had called an extended version of the luxury car.
The black body of the car and the expensive logo attracted a lot of attention from passers-by, which made Shitou a little unhappy and was also disliked by Lao Zhao.
However, they had little contact with the seventh person on the list, and since they were in an official position, they couldn't say anything bad about him, so they had to frown and bow as they walked in.
Commander Yin didn't seem to care about anything and got in right away. He remained calm when he saw the young man at the end of the spacious space in the car.
Commander Zheng and Cologne came in last to smooth things over and say nice things to avoid the atmosphere becoming too cold and the relationship becoming too strained.
There is more important business to do next. If the situation ends in a bad mood, it will be a loss for the authorities, so he must speak up to mediate, even if he is reluctant.
Fortunately, the other party was willing to join in the conversation, and we were able to continue the conversation that day.
In fact, he didn't know much about Commander Chen, but he had heard a lot of rumors about him.
It is said that he was very lustful, addicted to love affairs between men and women, and disregarded ethics. He once kissed a woman passionately in public and even caressed her passionately.
He doesn't like KanColle because these pure beings always take responsibility too seriously. They change people frequently and each has their own needs. They don't want to take responsibility and simply refuse everything.
The port area is run like a company, with clear hierarchy, each doing their own job, and a clear order.
However, the effect was extremely good and the results were gratifying. The fact that they had no idea about ship girls attracted many wandering ship girls to join them, which made the port area even larger and finally ranked among the top of the list.
Although Conductor Zheng looks frivolous, he is actually only good at talking to his own team, Cologne. He is still traditional at heart and naturally cannot stand Conductor Chen's style.
But since he has taken the position of Deputy Foreign Minister, he has to consider the official affairs, be patient when necessary, laugh when necessary, and never act on impulse.
Moreover, when Commander Yin got on the car just now, there was no reaction from the other party, so the rumors might be exaggerated.
Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, and the reluctance gradually faded away as Cologne's hand comforted him.
"Ahahahaha, but Commander Chen, you took the initiative to apply to go with us this time. Are you curious about Commander Su?"
"Of course. I heard that he's younger than me, so I thought I'd come over to see the world. It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
"It's quite a delay," Commander Zheng complained inwardly, but he remained friendly on the surface. "It's not a delay, after all, it's not just you, everyone is actually very curious."
The young man was smiling, handsome, seemed quite friendly, and had a wide range of knowledge. The pure chatting experience was very good.
Commander Zheng glanced at Commander Yin, who had an intellectual temperament. She was very beautiful and should have attracted a lot of attention, but Commander Chen on the opposite side didn't seem to have any special performance.
He felt a sudden pain in his waist and his face twitched. He secretly pulled Cologne's hand away and began to doubt the authenticity of the rumor.
"Are you coming today?"
"Yes, I have called to confirm."
"But we've been waiting for almost three hours."
Tiancheng sighed, "Perhaps one of them was delayed by something, so I let you sleep a little longer. Reception is also within the scope of the secretary ship's work."
The young commander, who had put on her non-commissioned officer's uniform after a long absence, looked very energetic and clean from the inside out. Her impeccable appearance and body proportions made her as perfect as a life-size figure.
This is to give you some impression points.
Although Su Xin has always been reluctant to do superficial work, she is still happy to do it if a little bit of tidying up can leave a good impression.
Change into a uniform, the same uniform you wear during the junior high school flag-raising ceremony.
Thinking back, I still miss those days. At that time, she was not tall enough and she often went on stage to share her learning experiences, so she always stood at the front of the line.
But no matter how much she missed him, she would not keep him company for more.
Anyway, the existence of this scientific research vessel is unique, and the port area's achievements and strength cannot be faked. Her fame is a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to be humble.
"Speaking of which... who are the people who came this time? Have you checked?" Su Xin asked casually because she was bored of waiting.
Tian Cheng nodded naturally, "Four official personnel, the Minister of Scientific Research, the Minister of Logistics, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Head of the Comprehensive Assessment Team."
She paused and added, "He also followed the commander who is ranked seventh on the merit list."
Su Xin actually didn't have any idea. In her opinion, it just meant that the official was very high-ranking, and she didn't try to curry favor with him, so it didn't matter as long as he didn't make things difficult for her.
Tiancheng tilted her head to look behind her and smiled as if she had thought of something. The young commander was curious and asked her what was wrong.
She then asked back: "Susu, if something goes wrong, will you help cover it?"
"Yeah? Of course, what's the matter? Is there anyone here you hate?"
"Yes, there is." Tiancheng did not hide it. After thinking for a while, he replied: "You will hate it too."
Su Xin thought about it, but couldn't think of any enemies. "Could it be your former commander? How dare he come after being frightened?"
Tiancheng was helpless, "It's not him, it's a stranger."
The little commander touched his chin, "Oh...are you going to beat him up?"
"Well... I would like to, but as a secretary ship, it is not easy for me to do it, so... I will leave this task to others."
"Who is it? Do you need my help?"
"No need." Tiancheng helped Su Xin adjust her hat. "I just want to tell you that what happens next will not affect the assessment, and may even have a positive effect on improving your popularity—"
The young commander was stunned. "Ah? It doesn't matter. Even if it affects me, it doesn't matter. At most, I can get first place next time and see what they can say."
Tiancheng felt very comfortable with her lover's unconditional support, which also strengthened her faith.
So when the stretched limousine stopped at the gate of the port area and the young man could not help but step forward and speak slickly to the delicate little conductor, cans of insecticide and high heels suddenly attacked from a distance.
Commander Chen had just proposed the monthly subscription terms when he was hit on the forehead by two hard objects, causing his body to fall backward and land on the ground in an extremely embarrassing manner.
Several officials who had just got off the car were shocked when they saw this. They then saw two ship girls with gloomy expressions approaching menacingly and kicking Commander Chen who was trying to get up twice.
"Commander, do you think you can be so ambitious?! I'm still waiting in line, where did you come from?"
"Hehehe, I will make you regret coming here.
Tiancheng smiled and nodded to the other eight people, and then called out in a gentle voice: "Akagi, Dafeng, why are you so ignorant? Go back quickly, I will come back later to punish you."
"Shout, I'll kick you again and leave."
"Sister, don't worry, we... know our limits."
I thought the secretary ship would do its best to stop it, but unexpectedly, after hearing what the two said, Amagi immediately nodded with relief and led the official personnel into the port.
"I'm sorry for my poor discipline. I'm sorry to have embarrassed everyone. The command room is over here. We will do our best to cooperate with any requirements during the evaluation process."
Commander Zheng felt a little annoyed when he heard the screams. He took a deep breath and said, "Ahahaha... that... it's almost done, right?"
"Of course, don't worry." Secretary Ship held Su Xin's hand and smiled gently, "They know their limits."
Chapter 977: Return on Investment
"Um... Commander Su." Zheng Wuxi looked at Cologne, then at Tiancheng who was leading the way. "He has a sense of propriety... He really has a sense of propriety, right?"
"Hmm? It's okay. I believe in Akagi and Taiho."
"But I don't believe it! If the seventh place winner was beaten into the hospital on the first place's turf, this kind of thing would definitely be reported by the media.
"Then, then I will be miserable...?" Zheng Luobei laughed dryly and complained.
As the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, he had to do the thankless task of maintaining relations with all parties, because maintaining harmonious relations between Hong Kong and other places would save the headquarters a lot of trouble.
But he didn't know what to say. After all, the person in front of him was still young, and his words were indeed insulting. If he were in his place, he would have fought too.
Zheng Luobei felt upset. He couldn't understand why the headquarters approved that guy's application for a peer relationship. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to look at the good dad in the next department.
"Uh... Old Zhao."
"Don't do that. You have no sense of propriety. You said some weird things that dirty my Gu Feng's ears. Let him go to the hospital to wash his mouth and then come out and behave himself."
Zheng Luoshai scratched his head and looked at the Shi Tou, "You too...?"
The pursuer patted the sturdy man's arm, and the honest man blushed, "I, I think it's okay... There's no such thing."
Zheng Luobei sighed. Commander Yin knew the answer without him asking. No one was willing to stand on the opposite side of this matter. Whoever spoke would be embarrassed.
But today someone really had to come out to ease the atmosphere. He scratched his thigh and was about to speak when he was pinched by Cologne with a cold face.
Cologne: "Commander, you and Commander Su have met before."
In fact, Zheng Luobei had already read Su Xin's information before coming here. Of course he knew what the secretary said. He brought it up now to help him save face.
Zheng Luobei, who was wondering where to start, immediately smiled foolishly.
"Ahahaha, yes, I remember that time, because of some small misunderstandings, you captured the ship girl in her port area. You really are stupid. You acted recklessly without knowing the truth. You made a fool of yourself, didn't you?"
Colon followed up with, "Yes, I'm sorry, something went wrong at work."
Su Xin is rather disdainful to others but very polite to others. If she keeps silent, she will feel bad.
But Tiancheng was not as soft-hearted as her. He stopped and turned back with a smile, "Commander Zheng, should we talk about these things after the evaluation is over?"
"Ahahahaha, the assessment is just a task. It doesn't prevent us from catching up. Although there's nothing to catch up on, hahaha..."
"Of course it's nice to reminisce about the past, and Commander welcomes you to be my guest, but I think the leader of the list should show his attitude, otherwise..."
Tiancheng nodded politely. "Others think that my commander is young and can be bullied at will. You say... right?"
Zheng Luoshaihu was stunned after hearing this and couldn't answer.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Su Xin saw this and quietly tugged at the secretary's clothes. Tian Cheng then softened his expression and added:
"We are of course willing to follow the official arrangements. As for other unrelated people... please rest assured, they are just skin injuries. We will help find a good hospital and hotel to accommodate them."
The topic had been finalized and Zheng Luobei didn't want to bring it up again. Commander Yin happened to see the Ferris wheel in the distance through his glasses, and he spread out his left hand, thus changing the subject.
He took out the notepad with the form on it and handed it over, then helped take out the ballpoint pen. The two of them had a tacit understanding and it was obvious that they had cooperated countless times.
Commander Yin made some marks in the column of "Impressions of the Port Area" without any hesitation and rarely stopped to think.
She quickly filled out a long column of forms, then took it down and handed it to Bi, then glanced at the second one, which was an environmental assessment of the command room.
"...Can we go now?"
As she spoke, she pushed up her glasses and looked very cold, but surprisingly, people didn't feel any bad towards her. They just felt that she was serious and responsible.
Tiancheng naturally would not stay here for long. She knew that the "core members" present actually had other purposes.
The Research Department, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Logistics Department all came in a very orderly manner. She would finish the process as soon as possible and let them complete their tasks so that she could send them away as soon as possible and achieve a situation that both parties were satisfied with.
"Of course, please follow me."
"Ah ...
Akagi paused when he heard that and looked at the guy on the ground, covering his face and sticking his butt out, "...even more shameless than this slutty peacock."
