Elder brother's garrison

"what's up?"

After listening to the administrator, the girl walked to the back of the car and opened the back door: "I need to get the people out of the car."

Pick someone up?

The administrator was slightly taken aback. He hadn't noticed that there was another person on the bus, and he hadn't expected that there were actually two people on the bus.

Under the watchful eye of the administrator, the girl opened the car door, and then a leg in high heels and black stockings stepped out.

Her legs were very long, with black stockings clinging tightly to her flesh, seemingly shimmering in the sunlight. Her skin looked incredibly soft, and paired with tall red high heels, she possessed a captivating charm.

With a sharp snap, the crisp sound of high heels tickled the administrator's heart like a feather, making him feel a little itchy.

Then, under the watchful eye of the administrator, a mature blonde woman slowly stepped out of the car.

It was a blonde woman dressed in white, her golden hair piled high, with a few long strands falling to her ears, appearing exceptionally soft against her fair skin. She slowly raised her head, her beautiful and mature face revealing a pair of deep blue eyes that gazed at the administrator like jewels. Her expression was calm and cold, yet an alluring and heroic aura emanated from her.

A strong aura of noble and chaste wealthy woman emanated from her, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, their fragrance irresistible.

The administrator was stunned.

His mouth was open, his lips opening and closing repeatedly.

“She’s my friend,” the blonde woman said to the parking attendant, then pulled a white card from her clothes and handed it to him. “This is my parking card. It should be fine to use mine.”

The attendant took the parking card blankly, then stared at it woodenly.

——Xinmeng Company.

It's one of the top advertising companies in this building. I heard that all three bosses are supermodel-level beauties. Many businesses, such as cosmetics or lingerie companies, have even offered exorbitant sums to have the three bosses as advertising models, but they have all refused.

—My god, this is a big shot.

The administrator felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of how he had been blocking the car earlier. He turned and glanced at the dark-skinned girl.

The dark-skinned girl, who had previously been timid and cowardly, was now making faces at him with a mocking expression that said, "You didn't expect this, did you?" Her face was full of smug satisfaction at having found a powerful patron.

"The car isn't worth much, so it's understandable that you misunderstand." The blonde woman nodded to the attendant. "Can we park the car here?"

"Of course, of course!" the administrator nodded quickly.

"That's good." The blonde woman turned around and glanced at the dark-skinned girl behind her. "South Dakota, let's go."

“Oh, okay.” The girl named South Dakota didn’t seem to want to make things difficult for the administrator; she quickly walked over to the blonde woman.

The administrator breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, right." Just then, the blonde woman's voice rang out again, "I remember there's no rule that the parking lot is only for building employees. I'll report this to your supervisor."

The blonde woman's voice was melodious and clear, like the clash of swords, incredibly pleasant to hear.

However, the sound was like a thunderclap to the administrator, making his legs go weak.

After the blonde woman finished speaking, she and South Dakota walked into the building together.

Chapter 576 The Secretary!

The girl named South Dakota followed behind the blonde woman, her lips curling up in a smirk, acting like a lackey, constantly making faces at the building employees who had been gloating over her earlier.

"Heh! Heh! Heh! I'll teach you to look down on people!" South Dakota seemed to have no intention of keeping a low profile. She changed her previous timid demeanor and kept sticking out her tongue at the others.

"South Dakota, that's enough." Just as South Dakota was frantically attacking the others, the blonde woman next to her gave her a calm reminder.

South Dakota then said "Oh," and slowly withdrew his hand from his cheek. After letting out a soft hum, he moved closer to the blonde woman.

South Dakota and the blonde woman walked into the building. When the security guards in the building saw South Dakota's simple clothes, they wanted to come up and ask what was going on, but they quickly stopped when they saw the blonde woman next to her.

“It’s true that there are very few ordinary cars parked here, so it’s normal for them to be curious about you,” the blonde woman explained to South Dakota. “There’s an old saying among the Admiral’s fellow countrymen: repay evil with kindness.”

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you park me in the parking lot." South Dakota pouted immediately when she heard the blonde woman say that. "You almost made me look bad and I almost lost face. I'm a battleship ship girl, after all. Where can I put my dignity after losing this?"

"With me here, no one will dare to bully you." The blonde woman smiled faintly at South Dakota.

“…Oh, as expected of the Duke of York, my favorability increases by 1.” South Dakota turned his little face to the other side, showing no intention of refuting the Duke of York’s words.

The blonde ship girl named Duke of York looked gently at South Dakota beside her, glancing up and down at her simple attire.

“South Dakota,” the Duke of York said.

"Well?"

"I have a question."

"Go ahead and ask," South Dakota replied nonchalantly.

"You're a battleship ship girl too, right? You should have had quite a bit of savings back in the naval base. How come you're living such a miserable life now?" Duke York asked.

“Uh…” South Dakota’s expression immediately turned awkward. She looked at the Duke of York with a helpless expression and sighed, “You’ve come straight to the point?”

"If you don't want to answer..."

“It’s okay, I’ll tell you then.” South Dakota closed his eyes, thought for a while, and said, “I’ve already given away all the money.”

"?" The Duke of York's eyes opened subconsciously.

"I don't really have a concept of money. I used to have money just by eating and drinking in the naval base. I thought I could make a living just by being good-looking. Who knew money was so hard to earn? As a result, I lost all my money after only a few months in human society." South Dakota sighed helplessly.

"Who did you give it to?"

“Donate it, for things like building Hope Primary Schools, researching diseases, or helping patients,” South Dakota whistled.

"Good guy."

"What kind of person is she? She's so regretful now. She should have saved some money for herself." South Dakota felt upset whenever she thought about it. She squinted her eyes, looking like she was full of regret.

The Duke of York watched as South Dakota muttered to himself beside her while holding his head in his hands, and couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Where did you earn your money later?" the Duke of York asked.

“I’d work as a waiter, a deliveryman, a mail carrier, or something like that,” South Dakota said.

"Is it hard?"

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work."

"Have you ever thought about returning to the garrison?" the Duke of York asked.

South Dakota was silent for a moment, then tears welled up in her eyes: "It would be so embarrassing to go back to the naval base because I have no money... I thought I would have to make a lot of money before I went back."

"You can also ask someone you know who works at the naval base."

"I only have Washington's contact information."

"You can go to her, she will definitely help you."

"No, even if I, South Dakota, die, starve to death, and am forced by life to take erotic photos, I will not ask Washington for a single penny!" South Dakota said with great conviction, pointing to the sky repeatedly, as if he would rather die than live in dishonor.

The Duke of York did not ask any further questions.

The Duke of York and South Dakota entered the elevator and pressed the button for the 20th floor.

Having lived in a human city for so long, South Dakota had never actually been inside a skyscraper like the ones she'd only ever seen in TV dramas. She looked around curiously for a while before the elevator slowly came to a stop on the twentieth floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and a ray of light shone through the gap into South Dakota's face. Then, a series of ringing telephones and hurried footsteps rushed towards South Dakota like bees fluttering their wings.

On the other side of the elevator doors, a group of female employees dressed in suits were hurriedly carrying stacks of documents and talking on the phone with a microphone.

From a distance, the entire floor was filled with female employees, some standing and some sitting. Some were standing on the floor waving their hands, some were sitting at their desks making phone calls or typing on keyboards, and some employees, who looked tired, were waiting for a hot cup of coffee in front of the coffee machine. Everyone seemed to feel that they didn't have enough time, and almost everyone had an anxious look on their face.

The noise was incredibly loud, and it looked extremely busy.

"Where...where is this?" South Dakota was stunned when he saw the world on the other side of the elevator doors.

South Dakota, accustomed to a leisurely life of slacking off every day, couldn't quite understand this ever-accelerating world and the lifestyles of the people living there.

“Our company.” Compared to South Dakota, the Duke of York seemed to have completely adapted to this environment. She stepped out of the elevator, turned back to look at South Dakota, and said, “Come on, the door is about to close.”

"Oh, oh, oh!" South Dakota hurriedly squeezed out of the elevator.

"Good morning, Manager!"

"Good morning, Manager!"

Good morning, manager!

"Good morning, Manager!"

Before South Dakota could even settle into his seat on this floor, the employees who spotted the Duke of York immediately greeted him loudly.

The Duke of York nodded to his staff, then turned and followed South Dakota, telling him to come along, and they walked in one direction.

The Duke of York led South Dakota through the busy staff, the greetings of "Good morning, Manager!" ringing out from beginning to end.

South Dakota and the Duke of York eventually walked to a fairly large office.

The Duke of York opened the door and led South Dakota inside.

With a "smack," the Duke of York slammed the office door shut, instantly silencing the deafening noise outside.

South Dakota breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't you like the outside environment?" the Duke of York asked.

"It's alright, it's alright..." South Dakota gave a wry smile, but her expression betrayed her.

“You’ll get used to it.” The Duke of York nodded to South Dakota, then looked toward his office desk. “Sister, they’ve arrived.”

South Dakota followed the Duke of York's gaze toward the desks. There were three desks in the soundproof office, two of which were empty, and only the one in the middle was occupied.

A tall woman who resembled the Duke of York was sitting in her seat, gently resting her cheek on her hand, smiling at her.

“South Dakota, long time no see.” The woman had long brown hair and looked almost identical to the Duke of York, but compared to the Duke, she lacked some of his heroic spirit and instead possessed a more dignified and elegant air. “Do you remember me?”

"Huh? Ah... umm, I remember, I remember, hahaha..." South Dakota scratched his head and smiled at the woman in front of the desk, smiling and smiling, until the laughter gradually faded away. "Um... you are..."

“King George V.” George V nodded, pursing his lips as he looked at South Dakota.

"Oh, oh, oh!" South Dakota gave him a knowing look.

"South Dakota, would you like to find a job here?" King George V asked with a smile, getting straight to the point.

"Huh? You work here?" South Dakota's expression suddenly became subtle. She stood on the floor, looking conflicted, her two small hands clasped together.

Actually, he really wanted to work in South Dakota before, since the salary here was higher than his previous job, and the boss was a fellow naval officer, so he probably wouldn't be afraid of being fired.

But after seeing the company employees who were so busy they were practically lost, South Dakota suddenly felt a little apprehensive.

South Dakota considered herself to be fairly self-aware; she couldn't keep up with that kind of work pace.

Eating plain rice wouldn't be good.

"York is short of a secretary. What do you think of you?" King George V asked.

"Ah. The secretary?"

"Just pour her water when she's thirsty, order takeout for her when she's hungry, get her whatever she wants, and stay by her side when you're not busy," King George V said slowly.

South Dakota paused, then glanced at the Duke of York.

The Duke of York was also looking at him with a squinting smile.

"So... how much is the salary?" South Dakota asked cautiously.

"Hmm... it's not as good as when you were still at the naval base, but it's still a respectable job. What do you think?" King George V asked.

“Oh! Okay, okay, it’s just being a secretary! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!” South Dakota was delighted when she heard this. She quickly raised her hand and started jumping around on the spot.

Chapter 577 The Prince of Wales

South Dakota met the Duke of York under rather coincidental circumstances.

Or rather, South Dakota was found by the Duke of York under rather coincidental circumstances.

Perhaps because she had been too relaxed at the naval base, South Dakota didn't consider herself to be a hardworking type, which was why she couldn't do regular work.

She can deliver food, send emails, work as a waitress in a restaurant, and if she's really short on money, she can sell her looks and work as a maid in a maid cafe for a day. Anyway, as a ship girl, South Dakota is quite beautiful, and no cafe would refuse such a pretty girl as a temporary waitress.

Even so, life in South Dakota is not exactly affluent.

She had savings; when she first arrived in the city, she bought a small house, and even had a cute little car, daily necessities, and insurance premiums covered for over ten years. At the very least, she had no trouble finding a place to live. However, as South Dakota himself said, the remaining money didn't stay in her hands for long; it was all gone after a few donations.

What to do when you run out of money? Even ship girls need to eat, so you have to work. For the past few years, South Dako has been struggling to survive in the city. Just a few days ago, while South Dako was wearing cat ears and drawing hearts on a girl's omelet rice in a coffee shop, he met the Duke of York who happened to be passing by on the roadside.

While South Dakota was not familiar with King George V, she was quite familiar with the Duke of York.

After all, the Duke of York possesses one of the most beautiful looks among ship girls, as well as a handsomeness rarely seen among girls, making him quite popular among the ship girls when he was at the naval base.

The Duke of York stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, quietly watching South Dakota inside. He exchanged a glance with South Dakota, who had just come to his senses, and then left.
