Chapter 539: Long-lost Work
The days of rest always go by quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is time to go back to work.
In the morning, or should I say the morning is better, Su Xia arrived at the office almost on time. As soon as she entered the office, she relaxed for a while, panting, slowly walked to the back of the desk and sat down. She took out the breakfast that she had to take away because she didn't have time to eat it slowly in the cafeteria and put it on the desk.
"Why did the admiral take the food to the office?" Enterprise had arrived a long time ago. She was standing on the balcony and looking into the distance. From the office building, she could see the endless blue sea, and the boundless sky above her head could be seen no matter where she was.
"Can't I take it?" Su Xiadong asked after looking around. In his impression, there were always snacks in the office for people to take at will. The newly added large refrigerator was placed in the corner of the office, and there was always a variety of fruits and drinks in it. There was never a rule that no food was allowed.
"Okay." Enterprise was not wearing a uniform today. She looked particularly elegant in her autumn casual clothes. She walked to Su Xia's side and said, "I just want to ask the admiral why you brought breakfast to the office. Why don't you eat in the cafeteria? You can take whatever you want to eat at any time and come back after you finish eating."
"Why..." Su Xia took out a big meat bun from the bag. It was prepared by the pastry chef Ping Hai. The bun had a thin skin and a lot of meat. It was full of gravy when you took a bite. "It's almost ten o'clock and it's too late to go to work. I can't eat slowly in the cafeteria."
Su Xia took a big bite of the meat bun and almost choked. He patted his chest and reached out to Enterprise. Victory would prepare black tea for everyone every day, and said, "Black tea... Enterprise, please pour me a cup of black tea."
Enterprise quickly poured a cup of black tea and placed it on the desk. When Su Xia picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp like drinking water, she finally recovered and said, "Admiral, pay attention and eat slowly."
"Okay." Su Xia nodded.
"I've changed the working hours to 10 o'clock, but it's still not enough." Qiye looked at Su Xia and said with a smile.
"Isn't this not because you're not late?" Su Xia said unconvinced.
"But if you eat breakfast during working hours like this, you can't work even if you come to the office. What's the difference between this and being late?" Enterprise pursed his lips and shook his head, saying, "It's worse than being late."
Su Xia was silent for a moment, picked up the big meat bun again, ate it in a few bites, and found a tissue to wipe his mouth.
This was the last act of stubbornness. Su Xia nodded firmly and said, "Not late means not late. Being late is one thing, and eating breakfast at work is another." He thought about the time when he was a corporate slave. He never did it sooner or later for a very simple reason: he would be deducted money for being late, but eating breakfast at work was slacking off, and slacking off meant making money.
"Okay, okay." Enterprise said helplessly.
"Whose room did the admiral stay in last night?" Enterprise asked curiously. Even the slutty Mutsu wasn't so cruel as to make the admiral so busy that he didn't even have time for breakfast.
"Don't you know?" Su Xia finished eating the big meat bun and took out the steamed buns from the bag. In addition to the steamed buns, there were also small steamed buns that could be eaten in one bite. Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, bone porridge... all kinds of porridge are not convenient to carry, and soy milk is not convenient to bring, so I didn't bring it. Yes, boxes of milk are convenient to carry, why did I forget that.
"Why should I know?" Qiye said as a matter of course. She didn't like gossip, but her sisters did. She knew a lot of gossip from listening to them talk about it every night. If her sisters were busy with something and didn't talk about it, it would be difficult to know.
"Demaine." Su Xia answered. In fact, it was not Demaine's fault, but that he could not resist the temptation.
"No wonder." Enterprise nodded, "Des Moines is a heavyweight."
Su Xia didn't say anything. She was just busy eating steamed buns and dumplings. After she finished her breakfast, she picked up the empty teacup and ran to pour some tea. After drinking one cup, she poured another cup and brought it back to her desk, leaning back in her office chair with satisfaction.
Before the weekend break, the office's work was to restart the expedition, but it was not completed yet. Today, the expedition must continue. Su Xia wiped her mouth and hands with a tissue, and said in a very leader-like manner: "Enterprise, have you finished the work assigned to you last week? What resources does the garrison currently lack? Which expedition should be prioritized to obtain which resources? Who is willing to participate in the expedition? What are the rewards for the expedition personnel? What are your plans?"
"You gave me the work last Friday, and I had to go to work on Monday morning..." Enterprise glanced at Su Xia and said, "Even Santi is not as cruel as you. Su Baopi." Having said that, even if Santi, a big capitalist, had no problem treating the sisters in the garrison.
Su Xia was stunned for a moment before he reacted and laughed. He thought to himself what those hateful capitalists like to do most - to wait until the afternoon before work ends to give you the work, and then ask you to complete it the next morning, forcing you to voluntarily work overtime or you will not be able to complete it. It is so hateful.
Su Xia had no intention of being a capitalist, and said with a smile: "Then take it slow, wait a few days, and talk about it when it's done. Anyway, there's no rush for an expedition." The garrison still had a lot of resources, although it was a bit anxious to see it was about to drop below one million, and there was not much to consume normally, so a few days of expedition was not a big deal anyway.
"I only said Admiral Su Baopi, I didn't say I didn't complete it." Enterprise said as he walked to the coffee table, took a stack of information from the coffee table and placed it on Su Xia's desk. Those were the information she had prepared to collect during her break.
"Isn't it done? You just have to say something bad about me..." Su Xia said as she picked up the information and flipped through it. The information was very detailed and it seemed that the company had put a lot of effort into it. "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's okay." Enterprise waved his hand modestly.
"No." Su Xia said, "It's really hard work."
"Then, let's be honest." Su Xia said, "Don't do this next time. You should have a good rest on weekends. It's not too late to work when you go to work. After all, it's not an important matter. If it were an important matter, everyone would have to work overtime."
For the garrison, when there are no deep-sea shipgirls, most of the time there is not much work to do, just conduct exercises and expeditions in an orderly manner. If deep-sea shipgirls appear, it will involve the safety of countless lives and property, and then there will be a lot of work to do.
"I had enough rest before I became a secretary." Enterprise said, "Compared to resting, it is more fulfilling to have something to do."
"Even so," Su Xia thought for a moment and said, "We can't set a bad precedent. The company is the first secretary ship of office reform, and we can't give people the impression that secretary ships should work overtime on weekends. If you work overtime on weekends, should the following secretary ships follow your example? If they do, they will be tired. If they don't, then not working overtime is irresponsible."
"The Admiral has an idea." Enterprise understood Su Xia's intention.
"Of course." Su Xia said, thinking that people who strive for success are annoying. Although people who strive for success are annoying, the root of the problem is not with them, but with the fact that the capitalists control the evaluation of the workers' work performance, which is like the sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's head, forcing the workers to face comparison nervously.
"As long as you and I know it, there is no need to publicize it," said the company.
"I know that after I leave, my new secretary will be worse than me. What should I do about the psychological gap? It's better not to do those overtime in the beginning, so there won't be a gap in the future." Su Xia grabbed the beautiful hand of the enterprise standing beside the desk. The fingers were slender and the nails were well manicured. "And I don't want to see my dear wife, the enterprise, suffer so much."
"How dare you say such corny words?" said Enterprise.
Su Xia burst into laughter. You said it so casually, why don't you let go of my hand.
Flirting is enough, work is more important. Su Xia started looking through the documents, starting from the beginning. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she asked the company. She spent a full half an hour reading the pile of documents, which was neither too thick nor too thin.
Next, the two discussed the expedition for the entire morning. By the time they finally finished the discussion, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. They had lunch, took a short break, and continued the discussion at two o'clock in the afternoon. They finally finished the discussion at four o'clock, which involved which expeditions would be carried out, how many teams would be sent out, who would be the people, what rewards would be given for participating in the expedition, and so on.
Finally, one thing was done. It was almost time for afternoon tea. Su Xia took the initiative to make black tea. She learned how to make black tea by watching others make it every day. After making the tea after a long time, she first poured herself a cup, tasted it and felt it tasted good, and then poured a cup for the company.
Seeing that Qiye picked up the cup of red tea and took a sip, Su Xia asked, "How is my cooking?"
"It doesn't matter if the admiral's black tea is not good." Enterprise put down the black teacup and looked at the amber-colored tea surface.
"What's that answer?" Su Xia asked, "Does it mean that my cooking skills are not good?"
"Some people have strong tastes for black tea, while others have light tastes. How can we judge whether it is good or not?" The company said, "Anyway, I am not picky. As long as it is not too bad, I can't tell the difference when I drink it."
"Okay." Su Xia didn't really care about his skill in making black tea. It didn't matter whether it was good or bad.
Su Xia picked up a piece of pastry, a scone, which was definitely brought by Victory when he came to the office in the morning. It must be said that the British cooking skills are terrible, but the skills of making pastries are really good. She said, "The expedition is done, there is nothing else to do for the time being."
"November 1st is Halloween," Enterprise said. "Should the tutelary fort prepare for an event?"
"Of course." Su Xia said. She thought that there must be activities in the game every Halloween, and of course there must be a few Halloween costumes. That would be great. I always like Halloween costumes. Due to limited production capacity, the game can only see a few costumes. Now it's different, "But it's still early."
“It’s too late.” The company said, “Prepare early so as not to be in a rush when the time comes.”
"That's true, otherwise we'll be in a hurry." Su Xia said, "So what are the plans for the company?"
"No plans," Enterprise said. "I haven't thought about Halloween yet."
"I just hope that nothing unexpected happens at the critical moment and no deep-sea ship girls appear again." Su Xia said.
"Maybe." Enterprise smiled, "It seems that the deep-sea ship girls become particularly active during festivals."
"Don't be a pessimist." Su Xia said.
"I remember you said you were going to recruit a planner to prepare programs?" Su Xia said, "Why is there no follow-up now?"
Su Xia has done several plannings, from the cooking competition to the secretary ship exam, and has participated in almost the entire process, accumulating quite a lot of experience. Otherwise, he would like to plan a few activities to learn. He needs to learn other things now, and what he lacks most is time. If this type of work can be handed over to others, then let them do it.
"I originally planned to let everyone compete for the position, but it's clear that no one is interested in a position that doesn't require them to stay by the admiral's side all the time like a secretary ship." Enterprise said with a headache, "I currently have two candidates."
"Oh." Su Xia took another scone, "Which two candidates?"
"Wisconsin is actually a very good candidate. She may act like a fool, but she has a sense of justice. However, she already has a job. The finance department cannot do without her." Enterprise said, "We have no choice but to settle for the second best, the girl from Atlanta. But she can make trouble, so we must assign her someone who can control her, otherwise, who knows what trouble she might cause."
Su Xia nodded, he liked Atlanta the cat, he rubbed her face, but Santiago's tail was the most fun to touch.
"I'll leave the performance to Missouri," Enterprise said. "It's fitting that Missouri likes performance."
"Does the Admiral have any comments?" Enterprise suddenly asked.
"I have no objection." Su Xia said, "I'll leave it all to the company."
Su Xia stared into the enterprise's eyes and said, "I believe in the enterprise."
Enterprise just smiled and showed no sign of being moved at all. People who have experienced it are not as easily fooled as Victory.
"Then, there is one more thing." Su Xia also suddenly remembered it. He put down the red teacup and said, "Why has there been no news from the Engineering Bureau?" The Engineering Bureau is the research institute from the KanColle headquarters. It is said that it can improve the combat effectiveness of KanColle, although it is not much . Little by little, it adds up to a lot, so we cannot ignore it.
Enterprise subconsciously frowned. Things related to the Engineering Bureau started before she took over the secretary ship. Victory mentioned it a few times and then got busy with the exercises without saying much. As a result, she had not paid much attention to it. Yubari, who happened to be in charge of the Engineering Bureau, had not reported any progress.
Of course, the company would not pass the blame to Victory, Victory's work was not handed over properly, or to Yubari. The problem now is not to shirk responsibility. He said: "I will ask Yubari this afternoon. She has always been in charge of the Engineering Bureau."
"I'll go ask." Su Xia said, "There's nothing going on for now, right?"
“Okay,” said Enterprise.
"That's it, I'll go to Yubari after I take a rest." Su Xia lay on the sofa.
Su Xia thought that she didn’t take a good look around the laboratory in Yubari the last time she went there, so she must take a good look today.
