Chapter 418: Lost
As Su Xia spoke, she placed her cell phone on the desk.
Su Xia remembered that he was discussing a very important matter with Victory and was at a critical point, so he asked, "Where were we just talking about?"
"Regarding the replacement of the secretary ship," Victory said, "Have we decided to adopt the form of the civil service exam and essay, and finally the leaderless group interview?"
Su Xia thought about it and realized that replacing the secretary ship was a big deal.
Su Xia now fully understands what everyone thinks of him.
Even if the secretary ship was just a mascot and had no power at all, as long as it could always be by his side, it would definitely trigger competition from everyone. Lexington, Missouri, Enterprise, Bismarck, King George V of England... If these big sisters competed, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.
"If there are no major surprises, let's just leave it at that. The general direction has been determined, but the details still need to be discussed." Su Xia said, "Anyway, there's no rush... Ella will deliver the rewards tomorrow. Equipment is dead stuff and there's nothing to say about it, but the destroyer tide is not. Then there are the celebration banquets, National Day, and Mid-Autumn Festival parties. The competition for the secretary ship position must wait until these two things are clear."
Shengli leaned back slightly on Su Xia's desk and said, "The exams and interviews for the competitive position of secretary ship can wait until after National Day. It doesn't matter if it's later, but we have to announce this in advance to give everyone some time to prepare."
Su Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't announce it. Once it's officially announced, it means it's confirmed, and it will be difficult to change it at that time. Changing orders every day will damage the authority of our office. Why don't we find someone to leak some information in advance and see how everyone reacts. We can adjust the plan based on the reaction. It will give us more room for maneuver."
Victory glanced at Su Xia and said, "The admiral is becoming more and more like a politician."
"What politicians..." Su Xia waved her hand and said, "A three-year-old child would know that kind of trick."
Victory nodded. She was from the British department, and that was what the British department was best at.
Only L20 blinked her eyes. She didn't even know what the civil service exam and the essay were, what a leaderless group interview was, and she didn't understand the point of leaking the news in advance.
"It's a bit embarrassing to recommend a secretary ship," Su Xia said. "Is it okay to let Victory know about it in advance?"
"No problem, leave it to me." Victory said, "I don't trust others with such an important matter."
"The question now is whether L20 can keep her mouth shut." Su Xia looked at the brown-haired girl.
L20 noticed that Su Xia was looking at her. She remembered the plots in the TV series and quickly covered her mouth and said, "I won't say anything. No, I don't know anything... Don't kill me."
Su Xia flicked L20's forehead with her fingers, turning them red, and said, "Why would we kill you? Watch less TV and play less games."
"Honestly, I think you are a little biased against L20, Admiral." Victory suddenly spoke up, unexpectedly speaking for L20. "As long as we make it clear, L20 is still very reliable and not the kind of person who doesn't care."
"Really?" Su Xia said, "It's not that I have any prejudice against L20. I just remember that when I did something with her, she never used her brain."
Victory said: "Isn't it because I'm with the admiral... Why would I need to use my brain when the admiral is here? If I were alone, L20 could also do something."
"Okay." Su Xia said, "Since Victory trusts L20 so much, there will be no problem."
"So that's it for now about replacing the secretary ship?" Victory asked. She was thinking about how to leak the news in advance. When the British had afternoon tea, she would keep complaining about too much work and the L20 being useless while enjoying the afternoon tea. Then, should she bring up the matter of replacing the secretary ship?
"That's it for now." Su Xia paused, "Wait, there's something I must say in advance."
"What?" asked the Victory.
"Replacing the secretary ship means replacing the secretary ship." Su Xia said, "Victory, you are my eternal assistant."
Victory had never thought of resigning as an assistant, but her not leaving was different from the admiral actively asking her to stay. When she heard Su Xia's words, she suddenly felt her heart beating faster.
Su Xia certainly would not favor one over the other, and said, "And L20, even if you leave office in the future, you will always be my secretary ship. We will miss you, and you must come and visit us often in the future. Without you here, we probably won't be able to finish the snacks in the office if they go bad."
Victory's shoulders slumped. Damn central air conditioning guy.
A morning passed just like that.
Chao is just a destroyer, but are children necessarily easier to deal with than adults?
Girls of different ages pursue in different ways.
It is said that you should start dating early, otherwise when female college students enter the society and are well-informed, you will not be able to attract others without what you want. For those girls who have worked for many years, having a house and a car is just an entry ticket. However, if you have a luxury house and a luxury car, it will not be too difficult to pursue them.
Female college students are different from girls who have worked for many years. If you want to pursue them, a handsome face and an interesting soul are more effective than luxury houses and cars.
For children, you are a good person if you can play games with them.
A strong garrison is a huge plus for shipgirls like Conqueror and Ark Royal... This is not materialism, this is reality. People without money can't talk about demeanor, temperament, emotional intelligence, chic, heroic, and powerful . I'm afraid they can only be stingy. But it's definitely not very useful for little Lolita, but it won't be too small, after all, candy and cakes cost money.
Even without the garrison brought by the game, Su Xia was confident that dealing with a little loli would be a piece of cake. It was simple, he was a kind and amiable adult, and he had an interesting soul, and he didn't mind playing with a little loli... Anyway, he usually played with the little loli in the garrison every day, so he had already practiced it.
Even so, a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Su Xia did not take it lightly. He did not go to work in the afternoon. He planned to meet with the Ayanami-class destroyers of the naval base, that is, Chao's sisters, to discuss major plans.
Since she had seldom been to Japanese residential areas—she had been either out and about recently or staying in British and American residential areas, and when she went there it was always to izakayas—she was not familiar with Japanese residential areas at all, and Su Xia did not ask anyone to lead the way, but broke into the Japanese residential area alone.
The green lake with fallen leaves, the stone bridge across the stream, and the lush trees blocking out most of the sunlight, allowing only a few bits of gold to fall on the concrete floor. Su Xia liked the scenery of the Japanese residential area. He felt that in the entire garrison, only this place could compare with the scenery .
An afternoon lasted a long time, which was why Su Xia did not ask anyone to lead the way. He was not in a hurry to find those Ayanami-class destroyers - Ayanami, Shikinami and Amagiri. He walked around the Japanese residential area, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"elder sister."
"elder sister."
The familiar voice is getting closer.
I want to meet the owner of that voice.
Su Xia walked quickly to the corner and saw a short-haired girl in a light green dress walking and shouting.
"Zuihe, what are you yelling about?" Su Xia looked at the short-haired girl and smiled knowingly. He liked her.
"Admiral?" Zuikaku spotted Su Xia, "Why are you here?"
"I came here for something." Su Xia asked again, "Why do you keep calling me 'sister'?"
"Looking for my sister." Zuikaku replied.
"Looking for your sister?" Su Xia asked.
"Yes, looking for my sister." Zuikaku said, "My sister is lost, I'm looking for her now."
"Lost?" Su Xia pointed to the ground, "Here."
"Yes." Zuikaku said, "Admiral, don't you know that my sister is a very bad navigator? She can get lost even at the doorstep of our home."
If it were anyone else, Su Xia would have reason to believe that it was a prank. Xianghe was a gentle lady, and she would never do such a boring thing. She must have really gotten lost. But getting lost right in front of her home was a bit too much. He said, "It's understandable to be directionally challenged, but this is too directionally challenged."
Zuikaku nodded and said, "My level of directionlessness is max, I'm a complete idiot."
"I agree." Su Xia smiled, "But can't I call?"
Zuikaku pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and said, "Sister's cell phone is here."
"Didn't you bring it with you when you went out?"
"Yeah." Zuikaku said, "If I don't remind her, she always forgets to bring her cell phone... This is no longer the Showa era, and the Heisei era is over. It's the Reiwa era. She's so young, but she's like an old woman. She can't even use a cell phone."
Zuikaku was a little angry that he could get lost just outside his home. He took his anger out on Su Xia and said, "Commander, do you think I'm an idiot? I don't even know how to make a phone call."
Su Xia said: "I'm just afraid that you'll forget."
"Forget it." Zuikaku waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk anymore. Go do what you need to do. I'm going to look for my sister. That idiot is really worrying. I can't help but keep an eye on her for even a moment."
"Don't worry too much." Su Xia said, "This is the garrison, there's no danger here."
"You don't know." Zuikaku said, "Once my sister gets lost, she will panic. Panic doesn't mean walking around randomly, but she doesn't dare to go anywhere, afraid of taking the wrong road. At this time, any road in front of her will become a man-eating demon."
"I see." Su Xia smiled, thinking that this pair of sisters really loved each other. The elder sister took care of the younger sister, and the younger sister cared about the elder sister. "I'll help you find it too."
"Aren't you busy?"
"There are things that happen, but there is no rush to deal with them."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"polite."
Zuikaku didn't hesitate and said, "Then you go this way, and I'll go that way."
Su Xia asked, "Should we look for them separately?"
"Why don't we look for it together?" Zuikaku said, "What's the difference between us looking together and me looking for it alone?"
“It seems so.”
"The Admiral is really an idiot."
