Chapter 981 We Didn’t Do Well Enough
When Shitou followed the pursuer's advice and arrived at the port gate, Zheng Luobei, who had lost half of his assets, was still entangled with the unscrupulous businessman.
It’s true, spending money does help, but not much.
He worked hard to buy a lot of technology boxes. Judging from the delivery rate and resale profit, he should not lose money, but he didn't come here to buy equipment!
What about the supply chain? What about the cooperative relationship? After all the effort, I am still just an ordinary customer, without even any discount benefits.
Zheng Luoshaihu felt that he was so miserable. He couldn't smoke, his alcohol was confiscated, and the small treasury he had saved for a long time was gone. He felt that his life had lost its meaning.
Ming Miao, who was holding his phone and checking the balance on the opposite side, was at another extreme, laughing so hard that his eyes were nowhere to be seen.
She had to temporarily close her equipment store these past two days because of the level assessment issue, but she didn't expect that the income from the few days of closure could be earned back from others.
With this money, she was not only able to move the store, but she was even able to seamlessly start a business of “recycling old equipment, old parts, and Siren wreckage.”
There is no shortage of raw materials for making equipment. She also hired the newly arrived submariner Torricelli to work with Yubari, and the speed of equipment production will be much higher.
Selling on one end and buying on the other, it forms a closed loop with production equipment. As long as your health is not broken, all the money will be deposited into the account.
Divorce and divide the property? Who would want to do that?
Her commander's money is all hidden in his pants, and the number in his bank card is probably not as much as hers. If she divorces him, she will be at a loss.
"It's better to focus on your career... Hehe~ So much money, so much money meow~"
Seeing this, Zheng Luobei wanted to buy more, but was pulled away by Shitou with a sullen face. Ming Miao wiped his saliva and added a thank you for his patronage without even thinking of seeing the customer off.
Shitou was speechless and pinched Zheng Luobei's shoulder. "Xiao Zheng, what's wrong? You can't be addicted to the lottery."
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs dodged with a grimace and rubbed his sore muscles. "I'm not addicted, I'm not addicted. I'm just carrying out my mission... Why are you here?"
"Me too!" Shitou said halfway, stared at the surroundings with his copper bell eyes, and continued in a low voice: "I also want to carry out the mission..."
"Ah? Then go ahead."
"If you don't help me talk to the girl, how can I get in?"
Zheng Luobei's mind was full of cooperation. He pondered for a long time before remembering what the other party wanted to do. "Oh... warehouse, right? It's a small matter. I'll go and talk to him for you."
Shitou was overjoyed and was about to thank him when he heard Zheng Luobei add, "But I can't guarantee the results. If she doesn't agree, I can't do anything about it. I can't stay there to help you grind it."
"Hey? That's not what you promised me." The sturdy man wanted to pinch her shoulders again, but was blocked by Cologne. He gave up helplessly, "If she hadn't gone out for tea..."
Zheng Luobei was also feeling miserable. "I have things to do too. Didn't you see that Lao Zhao has disappeared? Time is running out. Commander Yin can finish filling out the forms in two days, and then we have to leave!"
Shitou scratched his head, "...I got it, I got it. Why don't you talk to Commander Yin and ask her to slow down?"
"Her? Her stubborn personality is enough to tell me that you might as well hope that you can become invisible instead of relying on her."
"Okay, okay, okay, go and tell them. If it doesn't work, I'll try it myself."
"OK."
Commander Su opened the door with a red face and ran into three people who were just about to raise their hands to knock.
Zheng Luobei was stunned when he saw this. "Uh... Commander Su, are you... feeling unwell?"
“Ah, ah?”
Su Xin touched her face and seemed to remember something. She quickly put her hands behind her back and fell silent. The beautiful color spread to the base of her neck.
Shitou was a bit silly and wanted to touch his forehead, but Su Xin dodged him. He felt quite embarrassed and had to explain in a muffled voice, "I, I was afraid you had a fever..."
"Fever?" The little commander pinched his palm, "Well, that's quite a fever..."
Her mind was still not clear, and she always had the illusion that her index finger was being burned by fire. Washing her hands with cold water several times did not solve the problem.
Moreover, there seemed to be a lingering fragrance in the room, and it was hard to tell whether it was the secretary ship's emotions or the smell of her body.
The silly roe deer, who had eaten meat for the first time in several months, was too embarrassed to look up at others. When he accidentally saw the dark mark on the hem of his shirt, he tucked it into his pants in an inelegant manner.
The two grown men were frightened by the little girl's overly bold actions and silently took a few steps back. Su Xin immediately turned around and closed the door of the command room, as if she had hidden some treasure.
"Uh... Commander Su? We have something to discuss with you...why don't you go in and talk?"
"Go in? Now... it's the disinfection system working time, so I can't go in. Just tell me outside..."
How could Zheng Luobei not see that the other party was not telling the truth, but since he needed help from someone, he naturally would not expose him. He nodded and even took the initiative to step back and walked to an open space about ten meters away.
Su Xin breathed a sigh of relief and pinched her index finger subconsciously, but then felt something strange, so she focused her mind on the present and followed with red ears.
Shitou was confused and opened his mouth to speak, but Zheng Luobei pushed him back subtly, then smiled and discussed with the young commander.
"Ah... that's right. Because the situation is special, the content of this evaluation will be a little more extensive, including the inspection and appraisal of various facilities. Don't worry, we are all professionals and can help you with maintenance."
"Facilities...? Like what, street lights?"
Zheng Luobei's expression froze. He quickly glanced at the burly man and nodded, "Yes, not only the street lights, but also the equipment in the playground... the water heater at home... the construction equipment... he can take care of them all!"
Shitou stared. He was the head of the logistics department, and he came all the way to the port to change light bulbs and repair water heaters?
Zheng Luobeitou nagged him again, "There are also combat parameters for all members... and so on. I hope you can cooperate... for two days. It won't be long and you don't need to help. Just let him go by himself, hahahaha..."
Su Xin had taken care of everything before they arrived, so she wasn't worried about being exposed and nodded in agreement.
Besides, there were indeed a few light bulbs that had burned out in the port area, so it would be best if they could be replaced while they were at it, so that the barbarians wouldn't have to drive a car or climb up and down the ladder.
Shi Tou should have been happy that his request was granted, but he always felt that he was being taken advantage of for free, and his original excitement was somewhat diminished.
Stone: "...Do I really look like a light bulb repairman?"
Zheng Luobeihu: "Yes, very similar."
Shitou: "In two days, for such a large place, even a professional might not be able to finish it, right? Are you trying to trick me?!"
Zheng Luobei said: "If you want to fix a few light bulbs, just go to the warehouse. After you finish the task, you can continue if you want. If you don't want to continue, just wait until tomorrow and leave."
Su Xin stood aside and watched the two grown men flirting with each other. Cologne, who was standing behind them, had a cold expression on his face, as if he was about to whip them.
She stood there for less than five minutes before she felt itchy inside. She rubbed the soles of her shoes gently, and her eyes kept drifting towards the direction of the command room.
Seeing this, Zheng Luobei knew that the girl wanted to leave, so he immediately decided to put the matter of winning her over on the back burner to avoid arousing dislike.
"Then we won't bother you anymore... Oh, if you have any questions, can you contact your secretary ship directly?"
Su Xin thought that her secretary was still lying in the lounge, so it was useless to contact him.
"You, you should contact me..." The little commander rolled his toes, "She doesn't feel well and needs to rest..."
Zheng Luobei raised his eyebrows, understood, and hurriedly said goodbye with Shi Tou and Cologne, preparing to go back to the profiteer to negotiate further.
Su Xin sent the people away, breathed a sigh of relief, looked around with a red face, then quickly returned to the command room and closed and locked the door.
She went to the bathroom to wash her hands, but the burning sensation did not subside, so she patted her cheeks and filled a basin with hot water and brought it into the lounge.
"Amagi, are you...are you okay? Do you want to take a shower...or should I help you wipe it first...?"
"Well...Susu is really considerate. May I trouble you?"
"No trouble, it's my duty..."
"Hehe...did you go out for some fresh air? My ears are still hot. How come you wear your pants like this? Oh...sorry, are they wet?"
"...It's okay, I, I don't mind..."
"They even built dormitories for the barbarians... Should this be rated under [Assets] or [Character]?"
Commander Yin didn't even raise his head, his hands kept writing, and his voice was soft and even, "Don't write nonsense, just let me do it."
I sighed secretly, feeling that I could never fit into my commander's life.
She is not a strong-willed person and always wants to discuss everything with the commander. However, the commander is an efficiency-oriented person and does not need any help from others in the evaluation work.
He is also very direct and will pick out and review even small mistakes carefully. When I first started working, I was criticized countless times and felt very frustrated.
She once thought that the commander didn't like her, so he made things difficult for her and embarrassed her.
Until one day when he went to deliver food, he happened to see his commander arguing with the department head over a difference of just two points on the evaluation form.
When it comes to grade assessment, in addition to the prescribed assessment standards, part of the content relies on the subjective judgment of the assessors, leaving room for manipulation.
The level of the port area will affect the amount of support materials the port area can receive from the official every month, as well as the commander's self-esteem when comparing with others.
It is very important, so the higher the better, which leads to the birth of certain unspoken rules.
Without affecting the overall rating, giving the assessors some benefits can help get a few more points in the subjective score, which may make it a few points higher than other port areas.
It may not sound decent, but many people have done it.
The commander's friends all thought this was a lucrative job, and they believed that their commander would definitely make a lot of money.
But only after watching "The Legend of Zu", I realized that their port is very small, and the number of members can be counted on one hand. Not only do they not make any money, but they also have to run commissions frequently to supplement their family income.
She heard her superiors scolding her commander for being stupid, and heard other staff members laughing at her commander for being honest. It was a noisy and chaotic scene.
Maybe he was criticized too much in his daily life, so he was annoyed and took it out on others. He picked up someone's coffee and poured it on his superior's face.
Finally...it was naturally transferred far away.
But this time the commander didn't say anything to her. He just quietly took out a pile of books and read them, as if he was preparing to take the exam again.
She felt guilty and kept him company, bringing him water and food. They had a few arguments during the period because she occasionally made things worse, but she did not give up and still took the initiative to adapt to the other person's pace of life.
Gradually, she discovered that her commander was not a rigid and mean person, but was just too single-minded and a bit idealistic, hoping that everything would be perfect.
This perfection will never be used by the other party to demand others. If the other party chooses to run commissions or be a tool, then the previous criticisms will not appear.
After figuring out the situation, Bi was relieved, and even gradually accepted such a commander, and continued to approach him.
She found that the commander's single-threadedness was really serious. If he recited while eating, no ginger and garlic would be left in the dish. If he soaked his feet while doing exercises, his beautiful feet would swell like a swollen corpse.
Than "You can see these cute points, just like the name Yin Xiaomeng, which is a bit silly.
Later, the commander really passed the exam and was even promoted to a higher position than her superior who had transferred her far away. However, he seemed to have forgotten the old grudge and only focused on his work.
Compared to "I like her so much, and I put a lot of effort into getting along with her and confessing my feelings to her. Unfortunately, our sex life after dating is not very harmonious. She cries out in pain whenever I touch her, and it always ends abruptly.
Moreover, the way they get along has not changed. The sticky and passionate love has never existed. It is no different from before.
Now, they have been dating for nearly two years, and their relationship is uneventful with few quarrels. The only regret is probably that they were not able to take the last step.
Bi《 blinked, withdrew his thoughts and smiled, then glanced at the form his commander was filling out.
"...Hmm? This one should be ranked 23rd, right? Commander, did I... make a mistake again?"
"No." Commander Yin wrote as he walked, quickly recording the score. "Don't disrupt my train of thought. Have confidence. If I didn't say anything, then it's correct."
It sounds better than "Leng Leng", but I am really surprised in my heart.
Two days is how long it takes for an assessment in the past, because there would be many controversial amounts that had to be carefully reviewed and considered by the assessors.
In addition, her commander was very strict and cautious in giving points. Others could finish it in one day, but she had to spend another day to make repeated choices.
This review has only taken me half a day so far. Including the subsequent form of the ship girls' combat capabilities, I can finish the work today if I'm quick.
I wanted to ask why, but I was afraid of disturbing the other person, so I could only follow quietly.
After circling around for nearly half an hour, the two finally stopped in front of the command room. Just as they were about to say that the project on the office environment had been evaluated, they saw Commander Su and the secretary coming out together.
"Commander Su, most of the evaluation work has been completed, and only the ship girl combat part remains. I hope you can cooperate with us."
Su Xin obviously didn't react, "Drink, drink? Shouldn't it take two days? How come it's so fast?"
Yin Xiaomeng weighed the thick paper in his hand and said, "Because there is basically no controversial point in your port area, it went smoothly."
"Oh...how do we cooperate?"
"Please ask your shipgirls to go to the training grounds and fight in pairs. I will grade them based on what I see."
Su Xin was a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she asked her hesitantly, "Then... can my secretary ship do this tomorrow? She is... not very convenient today."
Yin Xiaomeng frowned, "Why?"
Tiancheng shook his head and said softly, "It's okay. It's convenient. Can we go now?"
Su Xin didn't look very happy. After all, she needed a while to recover when she was tormented. Now she had changed her position and her movements were clumsy. The secretary ship probably wouldn't be much better.
Bi was also puzzled. After looking carefully for a while, he found a small red mark on Tiancheng's collar.
She understood quickly, and fearing that her commander would start a quarrel, she hurried forward and whispered, "Commander, they just... um, were intimate, so maybe it's not convenient...?"
I thought the other party would either agree to do it tomorrow or insist that it must be completed today, but I never expected to hear such words.
Yin Xiaomeng: "Intimate? Did you do it? Sorry, can you be more specific? Bi and I are not very good at this."
Su Xin & Tian Cheng & Bi《：???
