Daily life with the ship girl

"OK, you can do the job of two people. I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest."

Jilin looked at her admiral and smiled like a little fox. No, she tilted her head and thought of the story she heard last night. She squinted her eyes and thought to herself:

The admiral is like that cunning wolf grandmother. No, the admiral is not the wolf grandmother. That is the bad guy. The admiral is not the bad guy. Well, the admiral must not want to do this. It must be those annoying guys who made the admiral unhappy. Hehe, let me show you how powerful Gillin is.

Keelin thought about it, and while Li Ran and Lexington were busy talking to Ganoluo, she slipped to the iron mine in the forest, then found a few fairies and gave them a few instructions. She was going to prepare a big gift for Ganoluo.

Seeing that the fairies were eager to try, Jilin said with a smile:

"You guys spread the honey on those trees, and I'll go get the beehive from last time to lure it over. Hehe, let's split up."

Among the engineering goblins, there are a few that are particularly naughty. They and Li Ran's destroyer girl often go in and out of the forest. Sometimes, when Jilin was lazy during training, he would sneak into the forest and meet many mining patrol goblins. After a few visits, they became familiar with each other.

This time, Keelin actually just wanted to teach Ganoluo a lesson. She looked towards the lake on the island, and then ran to the place where she found the wild beehive last time.

Li Ran and Lexington came to Ganoluo together, and he said in a relaxed tone:

"Old sir, my secretary ship is back. You two met last time. If you have any business matters, you can talk to her. As long as she thinks it's appropriate, I will be a hands-off boss for once."

Ganoluo had prepared a lot of excuses to fool Li Ran, but he didn't expect Li Ran to just push everything onto the secretary ship. His face was a little stiff, and he could only say:

"Okay, then, what's this person's name?" Ganoluo felt that this flaxen-haired beauty looked familiar, but as he got older in recent years, he couldn't remember some things clearly.

"Xiguang Island Garrison Secretary Ship, aircraft carrier, Lexington, welcome, old sir." Lexington smiled peacefully and spoke in a calm tone.

Ganoluo was obviously a little confused. He finally knew why he felt familiar with the person. His fleet had once hired the First Fleet Girl's Freedom Fleet Girl for escort. The leader was Lexington. Moreover, Lexington was very shrewd at that time and caused him some trouble. Recently, he had heard many rumors that Lexington recognized the admiral, but he didn't expect it to be true.

Ganoluo felt a headache. It seemed that he had to think carefully about this business. Alas, he really regretted not letting that kid come over.

Canolio sighed and said:

"Hello, I'm Ganoluo. To be honest, your appearance, Lexington, really surprised me."

Lexington was noncommittal:

"Old man, it's getting hotter and hotter. Why don't you find a shady place and sit down to talk?"

"You're welcome. I'm old, and my back and waist ache after standing for a long time." Ganoluo felt that his health was getting worse and worse. In fact, he thought about the mist fragrance wood not just for profit, but more for his own retirement.

Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief as he saw how smart Lexington was. Just as he was about to look for Keeling, he realized that the little guy had disappeared.

Helplessly, Li Ran could only ask Jilin through the exclusive channel:

"Killin, where are you?"

"I'll be right back." Keeling said hurriedly and hung up the phone.

Li Ran sighed. These little guys learned how to hang up the phone. Why not learn from anyone else?

Li Ran listened to the noon sun, then walked back and sat down next to Lexington. He found that Ganolio's face looked a little bad. He looked at his wife with some confusion in his eyes.

Lexington did not explain, but continued to say to Canolio:

"Either you bid, or you can become the sole log agent for our island and split the profits between us 70% and 30%. I think the old gentleman has also seen the ship of Miss Bai from the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. I think it might be better if I give the business to her. After all, she and my admiral know each other and we will have dealings in the future."

Ganoluo's nerves suddenly tensed up. He actually didn't know to whom the Sihai Sihai Chamber of Commerce ship belonged. Hearing Lexington's words, this combination of punches, which was both a threat and a statement of facts, made him feel uncomfortable and aggrieved.

And he had to swallow his anger. The mist fragrance tree was almost extinct in recent years. Apart from the accidental discovery of this island, he had to make this deal no matter what.

Lexington was not in a hurry either. The shrewd wife understood people's hearts very well. If she had known earlier, the ship girls would be invincible lie detectors with sharp intuition. If she wanted to play psychological tactics with them, Ganoluo was really showing off his skills this time.

Li Ran looked at Ganoluo's unpredictable old face and tried hard to suppress his smile. Although he didn't know what Lexington said, he was still very happy to have made Ganoluo, the furniture tycoon, suffer a setback.

If there is one thing that bothers adults the most, it is children's pranks.

Li Ran saw that Ganoluo was embarrassed, and he didn't want the old man to lose face, so he said:

"We can talk about this cooperation slowly. Old sir, it's already noon, how about staying for a meal?"

Ganoluo knew that Lexington was not so easy to fool. He sighed:

"Well, you young people, I'm old and can't argue with you."

Li Ran smiled and said:

"You are joking, old man. You are still strong and healthy now. Let's go back to the garrison first. The weather is hot."

"Okay, it's a bit hot, but Admiral, can I make a request? My subordinates are botanists. Although they look big and burly, they are all professional scholars. I want them to investigate the types of these trees here first. As you know, I make furniture, so I need to fully understand the characteristics of wood. How do you think?"

When Li Ran heard what Ganoluo said, a strange look flashed across his face, and he said with a half-smile:

"Okay, but everyone has their own expertise. Old sir, you are old, so you should accompany me back to the garrison. I will leave this place to them. I believe they will not destroy the scenery here, right?"

Ganoluo always felt that the young man in front of him saw through his intentions, but he had seen a lot of storms and waves, and although he was a little embarrassed, he still quickly said:

"It's all up to the Admiral. Do you hear me? The landscape here is not allowed to be destroyed. We are just analyzing it. Do you understand?"

"Understood, boss." The three burly men responded in unison.

Lexington watched her admiral finish talking to the old man, and then she handed the contract agreement to the old man. She had just finished reading it, so she said to Li Ran through the exclusive channel:

"Commander, let's go to the garrison. I can't stay too long this time. If possible, after lunch, please talk to Miss Bai and see if you can borrow her boat to send some supplies to Island C."

Li Ran thought about it, agreed, and then took Ganoluo to the garrison. Lexington took a look at the book and was a little confused, but seeing Li Ran and Ganoluo walking away, she hurriedly followed them.

Keelin breathed a sigh of relief.

It was a close call, we were almost discovered.

The little girl patted her chest. She watched the three people walk away, and then she greeted the fairies:

"Everyone, get to work. Hehe, these big guys in suits look really annoying. You guys are spreading honey like this..."

Kirin spoke in a mischievous way to the many fairies who were carrying cup-sized bottles of honey, then took out a round object wrapped in black cloth and looked at the three men in suits with a cunning look in his eyes.

The three men in suits were unaware that danger was slowly approaching. They kept wandering around Kirikake, picking the fallen leaves and diligently recording them in their notebooks. Then they were greeted by the honey sprayed by many fairies.

Since the fairies are small in size, they are rarely discovered when hiding behind trees. This is why Li Ran is confident in letting outsiders enter the island. Moreover, many people know about the existence of fairies. However, every time someone comes, Li Ran thinks it is better to have less trouble than more. After all, making a fortune in silence is the best way to go.

This time, Ganoluo and others did not see the goblins because the port area was busy everywhere, and Li Ran did not take them to visit several resource mining sites.

After watching the fairies successfully spread the honey, Gillin smiled like a devil. She didn't like the old man named Ganoluo very much. Her intuition as a ship girl made her dislike the old man because she could feel the hypocrisy of the old man. He was full of lies when talking to the admiral, which she hated.

When all the fairies came back, Keelin watched the men in suits busy wiping the honey off their bodies. She used her power as a ship girl to lift the black cloth, revealing the beehive inside. Then she threw it hard, letting the fairies climb onto her body, and then ran away.

"Huh? Lourdes, what's that sound?" A man in a suit was a little embarrassed by the sudden spilled liquid, and he reached out to wipe his cheek.

"How do I know what this damn liquid is?" Rhodes cursed and kept wiping it:

"My new suit. This one is very expensive. I'm going to be charged when I get back."

"This is honey, Lance, try it yourself." Another man in a suit held a notebook. He put it away carefully, then dipped his finger in the yellow liquid and found that it tasted sweet but not greasy.

"Honey?" Lance was stunned when he heard Betis' words, then he tasted it. Then he saw a honeycomb fall "pop" between the three of them.

"Oh no! They're wild bees!" Lance's face turned pale as he watched a swarm of wild bees pouring out of the hive.

Then the screams of the three burly men resounded throughout the lake on the main island, startling countless birds in the forest.

Jilin could hear it from a distance. She stuck out her tongue and whispered:

"It looks like I'm in trouble."

Li Ran frowned. When he saw the garrison, he noticed a flock of birds flying in the direction of the lake on the island behind him, and he felt that something was happening.

However, Ganoluo talked about the customs and culture of the Lancaster Empire, which made him very interested, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Lexington went into the kitchen to help Guo Kang prepare lunch. Li Ran and Ganoluo sat down at the tea table. He said:

"How come you have traveled to all six empires?"

"I can't say I've been everywhere, but I've been to six countries. Now that I'm old, I seldom sail as far as I do now. Thinking back to the past..."

Just as Ganoluo was about to start recalling, Jilin suddenly ran in and greeted Li Ran:

"Hello, Admiral. I'm going upstairs to take a shower."

Li Ran frowned, and he looked at Ganoluo and smiled apologetically:

"Sorry, she might have gone out to play. As a little girl, even though she's a destroyer girl, she's still a little kid at heart."

Ganoluo smiled heartily and said:

"That's right. I've been to the Admiral Academy Headquarters before. I also happened to be lucky enough to be at the Kanmusu Academy Headquarters a few times. I met a lot of lovely Kanmusu, all of whom are very likable, just like the Admiral."

"Well, to be honest, she is very naughty. She just went out to play without saying anything. Now that no one is with her, I just let her go. By the way, what was the old man talking about just now..."

"As I mentioned earlier, I used to sail on the oceans a lot..."

Keelin ran upstairs, looked at his dirty clothes, stuck out his tongue, then went into the room, got a set of clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.

A moment later, Keelin came downstairs, dressed coolly and with wet hair.

"Kilin, why do you wash your hair in the middle of the day without blowing it dry? I'll take you to blow dry your hair." Lexington had just finished cooking, took off her apron, and took Keelin upstairs again.

Li Ran looked at the table and saw that the food was ready. He said to Ganoluo:

"Old sir, the food is ready, let's eat first. By the way, what about your servants?"

"Don't worry about them, they will come by themselves."

"Then please, try the craftsmanship of the ship girls, this is something that ordinary people can't eat."

"That's right. I have benefited from the admiral's help."

After Lexington and Killin were seated, they were halfway through their meal when three wet men appeared at the door outside the garrison.

Guogan was startled:

"Where are you from?"

Li Ran almost burst out laughing. He pretended to be angry and said something bold. Then, looking at the three people who looked miserable and had lumps all over their heads, he frowned and said:

"Don't talk nonsense, but these three guys? They look really strange, don't they?"

"We are boss Ganoluo's bodyguards." Lance felt stinging all over his body, especially his face which was covered with bruises from being bitten by wild bees. He gasped in pain every time he spoke.

Ganoluo looked at the three people and found that they were indeed his bodyguards. His face turned pale and he shouted:

"Didn't I tell you not to run around? How did you get into this state?"

"It's bees, a lot of bees, I don't know where they were thrown from." Rhodes explained hurriedly.

Li Ran didn't know what was going on, but he saw that Jilin was obviously a little guilty. He thought about it and didn't care that the little guy came back dirty just now, so he immediately went up to take a bath. Hey, he thought about it and said to Lexington:

"Go and use those ointments, old man. I'm so sorry, my island is wild and backward, and sometimes there are a lot of mosquitoes. It's really hard for you guys."

"No matter what, Admiral. They asked for it."

"Boss, we don't have..." Laudes wanted to say more, but was stopped by Betis, who quickly said:

"Yes, boss. It's all our fault this time."

Lexington left the table and went upstairs to get some quick-acting swelling-reducing ointment that worked wonders on mosquito bites. She handed it to the three bodyguards and said,

"I'm sorry that you've suffered."

The three bodyguards were flattered. Ganoluo looked at them and felt a little embarrassed. He said unhappily:

"Go back to the boat and wait for me. Call Butler Lyons over."

"Yes." The three bodyguards quickly put down the ointment, just like leaving, but Li Ran said:

"Bring the ointment. This is my fault. Old man, please don't be angry with them. It's not easy for them either."

"Since the admiral has said so, why don't you take the ointment and leave now?"

Li Ran was a little unhappy when he heard Ganoluo swearing, but he didn't say much. It's better to stay out of other people's family affairs.

After the three bodyguards walked away, lunch continued.

After dinner, Li Ran took some time to pull Jilin up to the second floor. Looking at Jilin, who looked like he had done something wrong, he sat on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, sighed and said:

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Jilin looked at Li Ran as if he was angry. She said timidly:

"Admiral, I don't know what you are talking about?"

Li Ran sighed: "Have you learned to lie?"
