After a while.
President Er Gou coughed lightly, his head bowed.
"Hmm... speaking of which," President Er Gou said to the two of them, "would you like to hear Xiao Bai's story?"
As soon as President Er Gou finished speaking, Nia and Chao Yamato turned around.
"What's the story about Little White?" Nia asked.
"Well... I am, after all, Xiaobai's elder, aren't I?" Guild Master Er Gou said, spreading his hands. "Xiaobai came back to her parents' home with me before, and quite a few things happened then. Do you want to hear about it?"
"Is the family of President Naige... referring to the Mu family?"
"Oh, little Nia, you know about the Mu family too?" Guild Master Er Gou smiled and tilted his head. "Looks like reaching Chapter Eight wasn't a waste after all; your experience has grown quite a bit. So, would you like to hear about it?"
Nia blushed and nodded immediately.
Chao Yamato, who was standing nearby, also quickly moved closer, his eyes fixed intently on President Er Gou.
President Er Gou felt the atmosphere gradually warming up, so she crossed her legs, spread one hand, and spoke to the two of them.
"Well, this story begins when I sold myself, the naval base, and the operating rights to the second chapter to Shiro..."
……
Time flew by and it was already afternoon.
When Xiaobai and Helena finished dealing with the pile of official business of the Admiral's Guild and left the office, they returned to the hall. In the hall, Guild Master Ergou, Nia, and Chaoda were having a pleasant conversation.
The atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
Helena was slightly surprised to see this.
"Huh... I thought the Admiral wouldn't get along with Miss Nia and Miss Super Yamato..." Helena said, "but I didn't expect him to be so hospitable."
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai smiled.
Seemingly hearing Helena's surprised voice, the three people in the middle of the hall turned around and looked at Xiaobai.
"Oh! Little White, you're back!" President Er Gou waved to Little White.
"What were you guys talking about just now? It looked so lively!" Xiaobai said with a smile and a wave.
"Hmph, as we just mentioned, I displayed my prowess under the siege of the Deep Sea Fleet, leading the ship girls to rescue the Mu family's headquarters from imminent danger, and then won the respect and gratitude of the entire family..." President Er Gou said confidently.
Little White smiled.
Oh.
It turns out they were telling a fairy tale.
Xiao Bai touched the back of the sofa and came up behind the group.
"Xiaobai, are you feeling a bit tired from working too long and planning to take a break?" President Ergou asked again.
"Huh? No." Xiaobai shook her head. "I've finished all the backlog of official duties."
"...Huh?" Guild Master Er Gou's eyes widened. "That's it?"
“Yes,” Xiaobai countered, “Is that strange?”
"Hiss... That's not right." President Er Gou stroked his chin, frowned, and looked suspicious. "I remember the workload in the office was at least three days of continuous work at full capacity... Xiao Bai, you finished it in just a few hours?"
As President Er Gou finished speaking, he looked at Helena.
President Er Gou winked at each other.
Her expression seemed to ask if Helena had hidden most of the work to reduce Xiaobai's workload.
Helena closed her eyes.
“Admiral Lu Lin is extremely efficient. She has indeed completed all the work, and the level of completion is extremely high. It is definitely no worse than what you, Chairman, wrote yourself.” Helena added, “If you, Admiral, had even one tenth of Admiral Lu Lin’s skill, I wouldn’t always have to worry about you.”
"Wow... Little White, where did you come from, you're a monster!"
President Er Gou lowered his hand, opened his mouth wide, and wore a complicated expression as if he had seen some kind of overtime demon.
Chapter 3249 Two Dogs Traveling Together
Xiaobai is neither a workaholic nor a workaholic demon.
Xiao Bai is simply very good at paperwork.
The Admiral's Guild is essentially a large-scale special naval base, so its work content is not much different from that of an ordinary naval base. At least for a newbie, handling the work here is not too difficult and is quite easy.
Xiao Bai smiled and sat down next to President Er Gou.
President Er Gou immediately served tea and water to Xiao Bai. Holding the teacup, she looked at Xiao Bai with admiration.
"Xiao Bai, come, have some tea."
"...President Sister, you don't need to be so polite..."
"No, no, no, I've decided. From now on, whoever helps me finish my work will be my big brother!"
"...But you're my sister-in-law..."
"It's nothing! Let's each talk our own thing!"
"..."
Xiao Bai smiled helplessly at President Er Gou.
Helena sighed, holding her forehead. She walked behind President Er Gou and gently tapped the back of her head with her index finger.
"Admiral, stop teasing Admiral Lu Lin. I'll go and change everyone's tea into drinks."
After saying that, Helena bent down and took the teapot from the table.
President Er Gou pouted, scratched the back of his head, and watched Helena's departing figure.
"Honestly, I wasn't teasing anyone, I was just telling the truth." President Er Gou muttered to himself.
"Haha..." Xiaobai laughed from the side.
"Oh, by the way, Xiaobai." Guild Master Ergou looked at Xiaobai and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, Xiaobai, you only passed by the second chapter because you had something to do, right?"
"Yes."
"So what are you here for?" President Er Gou asked curiously, crossing his arms.
"Well..." Xiaobai noticed the curious gaze of Guild Master Er Gou and shifted her eyes to Nia beside her. "So Nia hasn't told you this all this time..."
"After all, they were just listening to my story," said President Er Gou.
"Alright." Xiaobai put down his hand and smiled at President Ergou. "Actually, it's nothing big... It's just that Nia's ship girls are trying to break into the world's top ten, so I came to give them some special training."
"Wow, little Nia's already aiming for the world's top ten!" President Er Gou said with some admiration as he looked at Nia. "I never expected you, this little girl, to be so capable."
"I, I didn't... It's all because of Xiaobai's help..." Nia quickly waved her hands, a little shy and flustered, "I only have the qualification to challenge the top ten rankings because of Xiaobai's help... And, even so, my ranking is a bit stuck now..."
"Hmm? What rank are you stuck at?"
"It once reached the twenties, but now it's dropped to the forties..."
"Wow! That's really high!" Guild Master Er Gou immediately laughed. "He's reached the top twenty at his peak, which means he's just one step away from becoming a top ten admiral!"
"..." Nia lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, rubbing her hands together between her thighs.
Just one step away from victory...
This final step proved difficult for Nia.
"So, where are the ship girls from Little Nia's family? Where did they all go?" President Er Gou asked curiously.
"They just finished a training session and are all asleep," Xiaobai explained. "They're all in the Mysterious Sea right now."
"Mysterious Sea... are you referring to that Deep-Sea Taifeng Factory?"
"Correct."
"So they went there for special training." President Er Gou thought for a moment and nodded. "So their training targets are the Deep Sea Taihou?"
"Not."
"Who is that?"
"Me," Xiaobai pointed to herself.
"...Wow." Guild Leader Er Gou stared at Xiao Bai, remaining silent for a moment before revealing an indescribable expression. "Isn't this a bit... excessive?"
Er Gou, the guild leader, was well aware of Xiao Bai's strength.
Putting aside the fact that President Er Gou had witnessed Xiao Bai's ship equipment several times, just considering how long she had lived in Xiao Bai's naval base before, President Er Gou knew from what she heard how outrageous Xiao Bai's current ship equipment was.
"So far, it's alright..." Xiaobai scratched her cheek and smiled sheepishly. "We'll probably be staying in the deep sea for a few more days. Hopefully, the ship girls of Nia's family can grow a bit during these few days."
"To have the world's number one admiral as a sparring partner, in a sense, is unprecedented," Guild Master Er Gou remarked, adjusting his large sunglasses. "So when are you guys going back to the Deep Sea?"
"Hmm...we'll go back after the ship girls from Nia's family have rested." Xiaobai thought for a moment, then glanced at the clock in the hall. "Let's stay a little longer, I guess."
"I see."
President Er Gou responded but didn't say anything more.
President Er Gou crossed her legs, her toes circling in the air, her pale pink lips slightly upturned, lost in thought.
Xiao Bai reached out, picked up a small cake from the table, and put it in her mouth.
Just then, Er Gou, who had been quiet for a while, stopped what he was doing and suddenly opened his mouth.
"Okay! I've made up my mind!" President Er Gou said.
"Cough cough cough... Decision? Decision about what?" Xiaobai covered her mouth and looked at President Ergou.
President Er Gou put her foot down, moved closer to Xiao Bai, and gave her a smile.
"Xiaobai, what I'm saying is, now that you've finished all my work, does that mean I don't have to stay at the Admiral's Guild anymore?"
"Oh? That's true..."
"So! Xiaobai, when you leave later, just take me with you!" Guild Master Ergou said, hands on his hips.
"Oh? President Sister, you're going too?"
"What's wrong? Aren't you welcome?" President Er Gou asked with a smile.
“That’s definitely not it…” Xiaobai shook her head and said to Guild Master Ergou, “But we’re going back to the deep sea later. The scenery there isn’t good, and it’s not as fun as Chapter City…”
"Little White, you don't understand." Guild Leader Er Gou put her arm around Little White's shoulder and coaxed her gently, "Look, I've been in Chapter Two for so long, I'm already tired of everything here! Right now I'm at the age where I need some excitement! The endless black sea, the densely packed Deep Sea Deans, just thinking about it makes my blood boil! And speaking of which, Little White, after you finish training, you can take me to Chapter Eight! Chapter Eight is always fun, right? And there are other top ten admirals there. Think about it, with so many old friends gathered together, if I don't go and meet them, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
Er Gou's words were quite eloquent.
Xiao Bai listened to what Guild Master Er Gou said and inexplicably felt that there was some truth to it.
"Going to Chapter 8 is possible... but President, will Helena let you go to Chapter 8?" Xiaobai asked curiously.
"Xiaobai, you've done all my work, I'm free now!" President Ergou said confidently. "Besides, I'm about to die of boredom in Chapter Two. If I don't go out for a stroll soon, I'll be old and gray, and my body will grow red hair!"
"..." Xiaobai smiled helplessly.
Just then, Helena returned to the group with drinks in her arms.
Upon seeing Helena return, President Er Gou leaped off the sofa and pounced on Helena, pleading for permission to go out.
Helena initially refused the request from President Er Gou.
This old woman is always neglecting her duties, leaving so much work unfinished. She even has to ask her busy sister-in-law to travel all the way to the Admiral's Guild to help her with the work. If this were to get out, it would be the most ridiculous thing in the world, a huge disgrace. Only someone as thick-skinned as Guild Master Er Gou would not care.
Helena felt this wouldn't do, and she was determined to teach President Er Gou a lesson.
However, seeing that her pleas were in vain, President Er Gou immediately cast a pitiful look at Xiao Bai through her sunglasses.
As the saying goes, sisters-in-law are of one mind, and Xiaobai immediately understood that Chairman Ergou was asking her for help.
Xiao Bai understood immediately.
So Xiaobai smiled sheepishly and told Helena that she wanted to take President Er Gou away with her.
Helena may disregard President Er Gou's feelings, but for various reasons, she cannot disregard Xiao Bai's.
Moreover, Xiaobai had just resolved the work that had been piling up for half a year by the Admiral's Guild, so her words carried a lot of weight.
So when Xiaobai spoke, even though Helena understood what was going on, she could only glare helplessly at President Ergou several times, then angrily poked President Ergou's forehead with her finger and gave her several instructions on what to pay attention to when going out.
President Er Gou cheered and hugged Helena in front of everyone, his hands wandering over her body.
Helena's breathing quickened and her face flushed as she was touched by the Second Dog President.
