Elder brother's garrison

"This……"

Luo Yingying held the documents that Xiaobai handed her with a strange expression.

To be honest, Luo Yingying thought it would take Xiaobai at least two days to write a Black Tower report.

It's only been a short time, less than half an hour since the president parted ways with me, right?

Is this all?

Even if the president is very good at paperwork, it shouldn't be this quick...

This thing is called a report... but it's really just a thesis.

Is writing a thesis really that easy?

As Luo Yingying thought of this, she had already opened Xiaobai's Black Tower investigation report. Looking at the densely packed yet neatly organized pages, she couldn't help but read through a few pages before suddenly falling into deep thought.

This report...

Wow, that's very professionally written.

Although due to limitations, the report lacks some direct data to support its findings regarding the internal environment of the Black Tower, putting that aside, the report itself is practically...perfect!

And there doesn't seem to be a single typo in the whole thing!

Luo Yingying looked up with a strange expression.

As a clerical worker, Luo Yingying knew all too well how difficult it was to write such a formal, large-scale, and rigorous investigation report. That's why she couldn't help but feel suspicious when she saw Xiaobai effortlessly produce such a large stack of documents.

But at this point, Luo Yingying no longer doubted the quality of the investigation report.

But Luo Yingying has begun to doubt whether her guild leader actually possesses abilities like time travel or time compression...

Luo Yingying's mind wandered for a moment, then she suddenly snapped out of it and slapped herself to stop thinking about it any further.

Forget it, I'm just an employee... Why am I thinking about all that nonsense all the time...

Regardless of whether their own president can time travel, time compression, spatial teleportation, mind control, or anything like that... it has nothing to do with them.

As a wage earner, ignorance is bliss...

Luo Yingying spoke to Xiaobai.

"President, your report... is excellent. The contents can be published in full on the Admiral Forum or the Admiral's official website for the Admirals of Chapter 8 to refer to as important information."

"Oh, I'm relieved then." Xiaobai smiled at Luo Yingying. "It wasn't all for nothing."

“Uh…yes…” Luo Yingying felt a subtle grating in her ears when she heard Xiao Bai say that her efforts hadn’t been in vain, but she still nodded with a wry smile.

"With this report, the 8-4 sea area will be open to the public soon, right?" Xiaobai said.

"Hmm... I'll go and coordinate with the Admiral's headquarters in a bit, it should be open soon," Luo Yingying said.

"Then I'll leave it to you. I won't get involved in this anymore. I'll go back and rest today." Xiaobai waved to Luo Yingying with a smile and made to turn and leave.

Luo Yingying was watching Xiaobai leave, but the moment Xiaobai turned around, Luo Yingying suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly widened her eyes and called out to Xiaobai.

"Oh! Right! President Lu Lin! Please wait a moment!"

"Ok?"

Xiao Bai stopped and turned around curiously to look at Luo Yingying.

"Miss Yingying, what's wrong?"

"I...I was so busy I almost forgot about the important matter..." Luo Yingying immediately put down the documents in her hand, put the microphone back on the landline, and then bent down to rummage through her desk for a while before taking out a document and handing it to Xiaobai, "Admiral Lu Lin, please take a look!"

"This is……"

"This is the information you asked me to look up!"

"Me?" Xiaobai pointed to herself. After getting a clear answer from Luo Yingying's eyes, she thoughtfully opened the document in her hand.

The first page of this document is an application form for a ship girl.

Xiao Bai recognized the photo on the form; it was Ticonderoga. However, the Ticonderoga in the form seemed to have a more stubborn and resolute expression than Xiao Bai remembered, not as gentle as he had imagined.

“…Information on Ticonderoga,” Xiaobai said.

“Yes.” Luo Yingying nodded immediately. “Before you left, you reminded me to look at Ticonderoga’s file. The first thing I did after I got back was to ask someone to retrieve Ticonderoga’s file!”

"You're so quick..." Xiaobai remarked with some admiration.

“After all, it’s the president’s order,” Luo Yingying said immediately.

"Hmm." Xiaobai nodded, flipping through the employment form, a look of surprise appearing on her face.

The back of the employment form contained information about Ticonderoga's training at the Admiral's Headquarters—this was crucial information and couldn't be falsified, so its authenticity was quite reliable. Xiaobai did indeed see Ticonderoga's performance among her batch of ship girls in this document, and as her two teammates had said, Ticonderoga's performance at the Admiral's Headquarters was truly all-around excellent, excelling in intelligence, morality, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Her practical training scores were also far ahead, ranking first eight or nine times out of ten.

This is what Ticonderoga meant by...exaggeration?

No one else exaggerated it...

Xiao Bai couldn't help but smile.

I didn't expect Ticonderoga to be such a humble person.

Xiaobai closed the file and handed it back to Luo Yingying.

"Yes, I've finished reading it."

"Okay...okay." Luo Yingying immediately accepted the document.

"Miss Yingying, you've finished reading it too?" Xiaobai asked again.

“Yes!” Luo Yingying nodded immediately.

"So what are your thoughts? About the ship girl Ticonderoga?" Xiaobai asked.

"Undoubtedly, she's an exceptionally talented ship girl. Given her abilities, she shouldn't have been assigned to the seventh patrol squad. Even if she wasn't the captain of the first patrol squad, she should have been in one of the top three..." Luo Ying replied sobbing. "I had no idea about this before. If you hadn't reminded me, President, I'd still be completely in the dark... My thought is... I believe she must have offended someone at the Admiral's Headquarters, which led to her being assigned during graduation..."

"quilt?"

“Being treated unfairly…” Luo Yingying said cautiously, looking up at Xiaobai.

"..." Xiaobai smiled, her face showing no expression other than a smile. "Can you find out who assigned it?"

“This… shouldn’t be difficult.” Luo Yingying immediately trembled and quickly lowered her head. “I can ask my teacher. My teacher has some connections at the Admiral’s Headquarters. Maybe I can ask him.”

"Ringo-neechan, then I'll leave it to you. I'll give Ringo-neechan a call later too," Xiaobai said. "In such an important place as the Admiral's Headquarters, favoritism is not a good thing, you know what I mean."

“I understand perfectly!” Luo Yingying nodded immediately, her gaze resolute. “I am determined to restore order to Conderoga!”

Luo Yingying exudes righteousness, as if she were irreconcilably opposed to evil forces.

Chapter 3945 A Good Idea

This was the first time Xiao Bai had ever seen Luo Yingying display such a strong sense of justice, such hatred of evil, and such a determination to never coexist with evil forces.

Who would have thought... Miss Yingying is such a passionate and kind person.

Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, and at the same time, a little ashamed.

Xiao Bai felt that, strictly speaking, he was not a righteous person.

In most cases, she felt that she was quite selfish. She only cared about the people around her and the people she saw, and she lacked a lot of desire to learn about people and things outside of that scope.

Like this incident.

If it weren't for the Black Tower incident that led to the disappearance of three members of the Seventh Patrol Squad, which in turn brought Ticonderoga, the squad leader, and Shiro into a relationship, Shiro would probably still be unaware of the grievances Ticonderoga suffered, and Ticonderoga would have been even less likely to remain buried in the Seventh Patrol Squad for much longer.

Ugh……

Thinking about how respectful and trusting Ticonderoga had been to him before, Xiaobai felt quite uncomfortable.

As expected, compared to Miss Yingying, Admiral Jin Shiqi, and even Admiral Haoding, I still lack some awareness.

Thinking of this, Xiaobai suddenly smiled at Miss Yingying.

Xiao Bai's smile suddenly made Luo Yingying's heart stop beating, her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground.

Luo Yingying was stunned.

Eh? No?

Why did President Lu Lin suddenly smile at me?

Was she dissatisfied with her own reaction?

Wasn't the attitude I just showed firm enough?

Ah this...

Thinking of this, Luo Yingying immediately swallowed and quickly added more to Xiaobai's mouth.

"Admiral Lu Lin, please rest assured, I will investigate the matter of Ticonderoga thoroughly for you! Since Ticonderoga is our guild leader... since she is a ship girl under your command, then she is your person! Bullying Ticonderoga is disrespecting you!" Luo Yingying immediately clenched her fists, pounding her chest loudly, her expression becoming even more severe. "Anyone who dares to insult our guild leader will pay the price I deserve! This is my explanation to you, and also to Ticonderoga! Three days! Just give me three days! If you can't do it, I'll offer my head in return!"

For some reason, Luo Yingying started making a solemn pledge to Xiaobai.

Seeing Luo Yingying's spirited appearance, Xiaobai felt even more at ease, and her smile became even brighter.

Ok……

Since Miss Yingying has said so, I believe that with her connections and business acumen, she will be able to handle the subsequent situation perfectly.

Luo Yingying is quite capable, after all, she is the last disciple of the Inland Governor's Office.

Xiao Bai felt that she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

"Miss Yingying, I'll leave the rest to you." Xiaobai thanked Luo Yingying.

"President, this is what I should do..." Luo Yingying looked at Xiaobai and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then I'll leave things here to you. I'll head home now," Xiaobai said gently to Luo Yingying.

"Respectfully seeing off the president!" Luo Yingying immediately bowed to Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai smiled and nodded at Luo Yingying, then looked at the Divine Eagle beside her, waved to her, and turned to leave.

When Luo Yingying saw Xiaobai walking towards the office door, she immediately wiped away a cold sweat.

But right now.

The divine eagle, which had been seemingly deep in thought, suddenly had a flash in its eyes and called out to Little White.

"President Lu Lin, please wait a moment."

"Hmm?" Xiaobai stopped again, turning around in surprise to look at the divine eagle behind her. "Miss Divine Eagle? Did you call me?"

“Yes, it was me.” Shenying nodded, glanced at the dumbfounded Luo Yingying, and then looked at Xiaobai. “Admiral Lu Lin, I have some thoughts about what just happened... I wonder if I can express them.”

"What just happened... does that refer to the matter with Ticonderoga?" Xiaobai asked back.

"Yes."

"Sure, what does Miss Divine Eagle want to say?" Little White asked with a smile, her curiosity piqued.

"I've learned the gist of what happened with Ticonderoga from the conversation between Director Luo and President Lu Lin." Shenying placed one hand on his chest and asked softly, "Regarding this matter, I'd like to know what your thoughts or plans are for the future?"

"What are your plans afterward?"

"That's true. I was referring to the arrangements for Ticonderoga after those villains were punished," Eagle asked. "Do you intend to assign her to the First Patrol Squad?"

"Um……"

Xiao Bai blinked, looked at the divine eagle, and then subconsciously looked at Luo Yingying.

Luo Yingying immediately lowered her head, covered in sweat.

"I haven't really thought too much about the arrangements afterward..." Xiaobai said. "But given Ticonderoga's training record, there shouldn't be any problem with her becoming the captain of the first patrol team, right?"

“That’s right. Theoretically speaking, her abilities are fully qualified,” said Divine Eagle.

"Miss Divine Eagle means... there's a reason beyond her abilities?"

"..." Shenying nodded after a moment of silence, then turned to Xiaobai and said, "It's like this, President Lu Lin, although it may be a bit offensive to say this, you may have subconsciously applied your habits of managing naval base ship girls to the admiral's guild."

As soon as Shenying uttered those words, Luo Yingying's face turned pale.

Luo Yingying desperately tried to signal to the Divine Eagle with her eyes, shaking her head so hard it looked like a rattle drum, but the Divine Eagle seemed not to notice at all, simply maintaining a relaxed attitude as it watched Xiaobai.

Looking at the divine eagle's expression, Xiaobai became somewhat interested.

"Hmm? Is managing the Admiral's Guild different from managing the Naval Base?" Xiaobai asked.

"President Lu Lin, in my personal experience, managing an admiral's guild and managing a naval base are actually similar in most cases," Shenying explained to Xiaobai. "However, there are indeed some differences in certain subtle aspects."

"For example?"
