The slightly weird commander's ship girl tour

There were so many people that they had to put several square tables together to barely allow everyone to sit at the same table.

Huang Chen pursed his lips, met everyone's expectant gazes, and said simply, "I won't say anything more. Welcome Clemenceau and everyone to join the port area, and welcome Louis IX and everyone back! Best wishes to everyone!"

He suddenly raised the wine glass, and the orange juice swirled in it.

The girls suddenly cheered, and the noisy atmosphere echoed in the room, making the small restaurant lively in an instant.

The air is filled with joy.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they began to prepare to return to Rhodes.

……

Snowflakes are falling, which is considered normal weather in Rhodes.

Huang Chen tightened his coat, walked outside the door and took a quick look, then returned to the room, picked up the big teapot and took two sips of hot tea.

After feeling that he was almost warm, he turned around to look at the cat maid behind him and shouted, "Let's go Cheshire, we'll be back soon."

Been back in Rhodes for a few days now.

Clemenceau and the others adapted quite well and were now almost completely integrated into the group. Only Ronstadt was a little unhappy because her secret operation seemed to have ended before it even began.

But no one else cares much about this matter.

Huang Chen didn't care. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. He planned to invite Hua Jia to visit him today and see if there was any new news about Hu De.

Chapter 1251 Invitation and Hood's News

Behind the dressing table.

Cheshire carefully adjusted the cat-ear hair accessory on her head.

Only after it was perfectly placed on the gray-blue hair did he reveal a satisfied smile like a cat, "That's it!"

"Well, why do you like cat ear hair accessories so much?"

Huang Chen walked behind the girl, hugged her from behind, and asked with a little curiosity.

"This question, dear, don't you think cat ears are cute?" Cheshire asked, putting his arms around Huang Chen's face and stroking it gently.

The slender and well-proportioned little hands were wearing black silk gloves, and a platinum ring was shining faintly.

This was actually not the ring Huang Chen gave her. The ring he gave to the girl was well kept, perhaps in a safe, wrapped in velvet satin and in a red velvet box.

Is this one for daily use?

In short, after Huang Chen and Cheshire confirmed their relationship a few days ago, the girl dragged him to the largest jewelry store in Lords to wholesale a dozen rings.

It is worth mentioning that the next day, Kronstadt took him to wholesale another dozen.

The owner of the jewelry store now knows him.

Because before being taken by the two guys to wholesale the rings, he had also gone to the boss to replenish the stock of spare rings.

He felt that this was more or less considered a visit to the jewelry store three times?

"She is cute, but Cheshire is cute in itself." Huang Chen said, kissing the girl's cheek gently.

The girl immediately laughed happily.

There was an obvious smile in her cute words, "Even so, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be more cute—ah, really, why did my dear sneak up on me again!"

"Let's go, hurry up and leave."

Huang Chen smiled, withdrew his hand, and walked quickly towards the door.

But before he reached the door, he felt the girl pounce on him, hug his neck, and lick his face gently.

Huang Chen trembled, and simply held the girl up and walked quickly towards the parking lot.

It was still early, not even nine o'clock, and the old winery was much busier because there were so many people.

The entire square was cleared, and thick snowflakes piled up on the edge of the square, like thick castle walls. Many little ones were playing snowball fights in the castle carved out of the snow.

Without even looking, Huang Chen could hear the laughter of Xuefeng, Shensu and the others.

As for the center of the square, it was filled with supplies for tomorrow's event, ribbons, lanterns, and some things Huang Chen didn't quite recognize, piled up in a mess.

He greeted the girls along the way and soon arrived at the parking lot carrying Cheshire on his back. He put the cat maid down and pinched her little face before Huang Chen walked to the car in front.

The girl seemed a little dissatisfied, muttering, "My dear, you are too much. You only allow me to attack by surprise..."

"Let's go. If you don't get in the car, I'll leave you here alone." Huang Chen patted the passenger seat and said.

The girl immediately got into the car, a bright smile on her face. "I know, I know. Honey, I won't joke around anymore."

"Even if you're just joking, you have to finish your work."

Huang Chen said casually, started the car and headed towards the KanColle headquarters.

He was familiar with the road. He had driven this road many times and this car many times, so he was very familiar with it.

In less than twenty minutes, he arrived at the parking lot of the Kancolle headquarters.

Then he and Cheshire headed towards the post office.

There aren't many people in the Kancolle headquarters.

After all, it is New Year's Day, and the ship girls also need a holiday, but Huajia will not have a holiday today. This was already agreed upon the last time I came here.

Sometimes it’s no wonder that the girl doesn’t like going to work.

The job of a telegraph operator is quite boring. Basically, I am the first one to go to work in the entire KanColle headquarters, and also the last one to leave work.

Overtime is often required.

But if you ask me what kind of job it is, I can’t really tell you.

Most of the time I just sit there and stare blankly.

There are no mobile phones in this world, and TV programs are also scarce. There are quite a lot of magazines, but Hua Jia seems to have no interest in those things.

I curl up in a small recliner every day and am almost bored to death.

"Boom boom boom——"

After knocking on the door briefly, he pushed it open and walked in.

The girl with short black hair looked up boredly, then her eyes lit up, "Huang Chen, you're finally here. Let's go. We're completely ready."

As she spoke, she stood up and picked up the suitcase next to her, looking impatient.

Huang Chen was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "You're not going to work today?"

"No, I'm on vacation. I haven't used my annual leave yet." The girl winked, looking playful. She walked out from behind the counter and stretched lazily. "It's a different ship girl this time. I'm already eager to see how big your port area is."

"My port area. You can't see my port area here. My port area is in area C." Huang Chen shook his head, walked to the counter and looked inside.

Hua Jia saw through his thoughts without any explanation and said, "No, there has been no news in the past two days, neither from Hood nor Qiao Wu."

"That's it."

Huang Chen nodded, feeling a little regretful.

The last time I heard from the two of them was two days ago, or maybe three days ago. At that time, Hood and the others had already found Qiao Wu, or rather, Qiao Wu and the others had already found Hood.

Anyway, the girls from both sides have already met and are discussing returning. They said they would send a telegram back once everything was confirmed.

Qiao Wu and the others left the KanColle headquarters and set up a mercenary organization company, mainly accepting commissions from the KanColle headquarters or private chambers of commerce.

Various businesses in area O are very developed, and merchant ships often need to hire ship girls for defense.

In fact, there are such tasks in Area C, but not as many as in Area O.

In short, Qiao Wu and her company are quite large, at least several sizes larger than the previous shipping company in Cleveland.

Hood and the others had never thought of this before, and had never thought in this direction, so they didn't find it for a long time.

"Then just send a telegram, Happy New Year."

Huang Chen thought about it and didn't hesitate for too long before continuing to speak.

Hua Jia immediately cast his gaze over and gritted his teeth secretly, "You really have to find something for me to do in the New Year, right?"

"Hurry up, I'll write a few more words and get a commission."

Hua Jia gritted his teeth, then returned to the counter indignantly, saying, "I don't want your commission. This telegram is my treat."

“Oh, then I’ll have to write more.”

"You have to act stupid, don't you?" Hua Jia glared at him, then sent him two Happy New Years messages, then walked to the door with his suitcase, "Let's go."

Chapter 1252 Come Back to Work

"Two Happy New Years are enough?"

Huang Chen joked with some amusement, but he didn't have the intention of forcing Hua Jia to go back and send another telegram.

After all, two Happy New Years are almost enough.

We have been in frequent contact over the past two days and are almost all aware of each other's situation, so there is no need to talk or say anything in a big way at this time.

"That's enough. Let's go."

Hua Jia had already walked out of the office and waved to him excitedly.

Huang Chen and Cheshire looked at each other and followed him out of the room.

With doors and windows closed and the power turned off, the post office officially entered holiday mode.

Hua Jia actually looked a little emotional. He stared deeply at the closed door and murmured softly, "This seems to be the first time I'm taking a vacation at this time."

"You never celebrated the New Year before?" Huang Chen was stunned when he heard this and asked subconsciously.

"Of course I celebrate. I'll wait until New Year's Eve to prepare a big meal for myself, stay up until midnight, eat, tell myself Happy New Year, and then go to bed."

The girl explained, picking up the suitcase again and walking quickly in front, looking slightly excited.

Huang Chen hesitated to speak, and in the end said nothing, and hurriedly followed Cheshire.

The three of them walked along, through the empty yet still warm corridor.

Probably because it was the New Year, there weren't many people in the Kancolle headquarters, and many offices and shops were closed.

There weren't many ship girls taking a walk or commanders coming to do business as we often saw before.

The whole building is filled with a sense of quietness. Although there is sufficient heating, it still makes people feel a little cold.

The three of them quickly arrived at the corridor and then heard footsteps coming from above.

Before Huang Chen could react, he saw Hua Jia's face change. He grabbed his hand and hurried downstairs, "Hurry up."

But the girl was just a girl after all, and she held Huang Chen's hand as if she was holding a stone, not moving at all.

The latter blinked blankly, and before he could react, he heard a surprised voice from upstairs in the corridor, "That's great, Hua Jia, it's a good thing you haven't left yet. There's a document here that needs to be sent to the front line."

Huang Chen raised his head and looked.

She is a little silver-haired maid wearing round-framed glasses and looks calm and stable.

It seems to be Minister Elizabeth's secretary.

Cheshire blinked curiously, then leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Honey, it's a wild Jinqu. It seems a little different from our Jinqu."

"Of course it's different." Huang Chen first whispered to the girl, then greeted the secretary, "Hello."

Hua Jia, however, seemed rather melancholy. He shook his head sadly and said, "Didn't I tell you to leave quickly?"

"Can this kind of thing be avoided?" Huang Chen said with a smile.

The secretary had already walked down the stairs and called out in surprise, "Commander Huang Chen, good morning! Do you want me to tell the Minister?"

"No need. I was already ready to leave. You just stopped me again." Huang Chen spread his hands and explained.

"Oh, Hua Jia went with you..." The secretary nodded suddenly, her eyes fell on the suitcase in Hua Jia's hand, and she couldn't help pushing her glasses.

Although she didn't say anything, it could be seen from her eyes that the girl had probably already imagined a lot of things.

"Okay, let's get down to business. How many telegrams are there?" Hua Jia didn't care about the other party's strange look. He shook his head impatiently and asked the key question directly.

The secretary immediately reacted, holding out a thick brown paper bag and handing it over, explaining seriously, "Oh, these, these are all."

Hua Jia's expression suddenly changed slightly. He stared at the brown paper bag in the girl's hand for a long time without reaching out to take it.
