Chapter 546: It's Not Over Yet
"Admiral, don't you have to go to work today?"
Even Changchun knew that Su Xia had to work every day as the admiral.
Changchun was wearing a beautiful dress today, and black round-toed leather shoes. In front of a lovely girl, one must pay attention to one's image. Su Xia sat a little straighter and explained, "I have to go to work... I left the office for something, and I just finished it and took a rest."
"Oh." Changchun responded and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"You won't understand even if I tell you." The cicadas in autumn are as noisy as in summer. For some reason, they sound so pleasant. Su Xia certainly won't tell Changchun about Wichita's lost yellow book. You know, Changchun has a body comparable to that of a battleship, but his mental age is still that of a child who knows nothing. "Don't you have to go to class?"
"I don't have classes this afternoon." Changchun replied. She didn't know whether other people had classes, but she didn't have any.
Su Xia nodded without comment. Now that Wichita's lost yellow book has been found, it doesn't mean that the matter is over. There are still a lot of things to deal with. She said, "If you don't have classes, go play."
"Admiral, play with me." Changchun sat next to Su Xia and hugged his arm.
"I want to work." Su Xia wanted to pull her hands out of Changchun's arms, so Changchun's figure was not ordinary, and that hug action made people care. This was not because she had just agreed to the company, and the reason she did not return to the office immediately was that her tense nerves suddenly relaxed and needed to be slowed down, "You go find someone else to play with."
"I don't know who to play with." Changchun said.
"Zhao He, don't you like practicing with her the most... Have you learned the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms?" Su Xia thought for a while and said, "Then Haiqi, Aili, or Engels, Kiev is also OK... and your sister Lei Ming. Aren't they all human?" Changchun was the Kokang before it was changed, so it has many Soviet friends.
"They are in class." Changchun said.
"It's impossible that everyone is in class." Su Xia questioned.
Changchun pouted, hugged Su Xia's arms tighter, and said, "I just want to play with the admiral."
Su Xia laughed. He knew that Changchun was quite obsessed with him. He reached out his hand and touched Changchun's head lovingly. He ruffled her hair and then helped her to fix her hair. He said, "I want to play with Changchun, but I can't because I still have to work... How about this, Changchun can play by herself now, and I'll play with Changchun after work tonight."
"It would be no fun if it was pitch dark everywhere at night," Changchun said.
"It's fun." Su Xia said, "We can play games."
Changchun thought about it and realized that the admiral needed work, so he said sensibly: "Okay..."
Su Xia pinched Changchun's cute face and quickly returned to the office. In addition to Enterprise, Missouri, Wichita and West Virginia, Helena was also there, sitting on the sofa reading a book. It was easy to imagine why Helena was here. Enterprise had previously asked Helena, the school administrator of the garrison, to understand the movements of those children, and she came here by the way.
Missouri had taken a yellow book before, and that yellow book was now in Helena's hands. There was another yellow book whose cover was much simpler than the one in Helena's hands. The ordinary version was definitely not as good as the collector's edition, and it was now thrown on the coffee table.
Su Xia picked up the little yellow book and shook it, then looked at Wichita, who was looking down at her, and asked, "Wichita, is this the one you lost?"
"Yeah." Wichita's shoulders slumped. She knew she had made a mistake, and she no longer held her chest up proudly like she usually did. She was obviously not that big, but she was so confident. Confident girls are the cutest.
"Qiye, you just told me that you found it in the flowerbed not far from the sloping grass?" Su Xia looked at Qiye, "Why would a book that fell on the sloping grass appear there... It certainly couldn't have been blown there by the wind. Someone must have picked it up and thrown it there."
Enterprise leaned on his desk, "Yeah."
"Why didn't they just take it to the lost and found, or put it back where it was, but threw it into the flowerbed next to it?" Su Xia speculated, "Someone picked it up and took a look at it, and thought that the book was a little... not suitable for children, so they threw it away after seeing the dirty eyes?"
"Then," Su Xia paused and said, "If a little girl like Fengfeng or Shimakaze picked it up, they probably wouldn't understand it even if you let them read it. Shameless adults wouldn't care. In other words, the person who picked up this book is most likely a young girl who doesn't understand it... It's also possible that it's an adult, but a more pure type."
Missouri cheered and applauded, saying, "The Admiral gave a good analysis."
"No big deal." Su Xia said bluntly, "I can only infer these things. What do you think?"
"You can ask Mrs. Sixteen to come and take a look." Missouri ate the candy. "The famous detective of our garrison."
"No thanks." Su Xia said, "I'm not looking down on her, but her famous detective is not as good as mine."
"I just look down on her," Missouri said. "She looks cool but is actually a silly girl. She likes detective novels, likes to play detective, likes cute animals, steals Hood's ginger and fish cakes, and likes extreme sports. She wants to raise a husky but thinks it's troublesome."
Su Xia glanced at Missouri and said, "You know her very well."
“I know everybody pretty well,” Missouri said.
"Let's not talk about that for now. The important thing is business... I remember there are no cameras in the garrison, right?" Su Xia said. He remembered asking about it when he and Xiao Zhai and the others were looking for and posting a petition denouncing him. There were no cameras in the garrison because there was no need for them.
“No,” Enterprise replied.
"Fingerprints," West Virginia said. "We can find out who the fingerprints in the book belong to."
KanColle also have fingerprints, and each KanColle’s fingerprints are different.
"That's too much of a fuss. It was originally a small matter, but you've turned it into a big one." Su Xia rejected West Virginia's proposal without hesitation, thought about it and shook her head, "Why don't we put this aside for now and discuss another matter first, how to prevent similar situations from happening again."
"I thought everyone was more reliable." Su Xia held her forehead with her hand, "My mistake... Just because nothing happened before doesn't mean nothing will happen in the future."
"I'm sorry," Wichita apologized quietly.
Su Xia looked at the enterprise again and said, "Enterprise, you started talking about banning those things... Even now, when something like this happens, I still think we can't ban them. That would be an irresponsible blanket approach. Of course, it doesn't mean we can't do anything."
"A pornographic book has a regular edition, a collector's edition, a deluxe edition, and a supreme edition. It must be something that Santi made up. Bei Zhai and Da Feng don't like trouble, so they wouldn't do it even if they knew about it." Su Xia said, "Enterprise, contact Santi and tell her what our office wants."
"Admiral, you speak and I remember." Enterprise said.
"First of all, this kind of pornographic texts and books are absolutely not allowed to be sold to those children," Su Xia said.
"Don't worry, Admiral. Santi is not that unreliable." Enterprise said, "What happened today was an accident."
"I know, but I still remind her. If there is something wrong, correct it. If there is nothing wrong, try to improve it." Su Xia continued, "In addition, I require her to number each book and keep a record of who it was sold to. If someone doesn't keep it properly, we can directly hold that person responsible. It can also be regarded as a reminder to readers that once you buy a book, you must fulfill your responsibility to keep it. I don't care if you did it unintentionally, as long as you don't keep it properly, it's your responsibility."
"Of course I believe that everyone doesn't want this to happen and won't leak those things intentionally." Su Xia took the little porn book and subconsciously rolled it up and knocked it on the coffee table.
"I've got that in mind," Enterprise said.
"Since there were no formal regulations before, we will not hold you responsible this time, Wichita, but this will not happen again." Su Xia looked at Wichita and said, didn't she learn a lot from staying in Washington's room a few days ago, what is meant by "you can do anything unless prohibited by law, and you can't do anything unless authorized by law."
"It seems that there is a slogan on cigarette boxes - Smoking is harmful to health. Should there be a slogan on those things too?" Su Xia continued.
"Anything else?" Enterprise asked.
Su Xia wandered around the office for a while, held up the little yellow book and looked at it, and said, "I suddenly remembered that our office has never collected taxes on the things Santi and the others sell... We must collect taxes from now on. The purpose of collecting these taxes is not for anything else, but to manage them and manage expenses ."
West Virginia and Wichita stood in the corner and whispered, "The Admiral has the nerve to call Santee a capitalist. He is the same... No, he is a politician. He raises taxes on Santee whenever he gets a chance, and he says it is for your own good. If I didn't know that the book was really lost by you, Wichita, I might suspect that it was a trick he directed and acted out."
West Virginia noticed that Wichita had been keeping his head down, and said, "Didn't the admiral say that he would not hold you responsible? Why do you still look so sad?"
"Just because the admiral doesn't hold me responsible doesn't mean others won't blame me." Wichita is pretty smart. "First of all, Santi. If the admiral increases her taxes, she will definitely raise the prices of those porn books, and then everyone will be affected... and this is all because of me."
"No, no, no." Missouri interrupted, "Wichita, you are wrong. If the prices of those things can be raised, do you think Santee will not raise the prices? The reason why those things are priced like that now is mainly because people's psychological price is like that... It's not that they can't afford it, but it's a question of whether they are willing to buy it and whether it's worth it. In this way, even if the admiral raises taxes, the prices of those things will inevitably increase."
"But everyone definitely doesn't want to see people buying things under their real names," Missouri said. "I don't mind, but those who are just pretending to be serious will definitely mind it. They're worried that if the admiral knows they bought those things, it will damage their image. Maybe they won't buy them anymore, or they'll use a pseudonym."
"Anyway, Wichita, you've made a big deal out of it." Missouri laughed. As Wisconsin's sister, she was naturally a person who liked to watch the fun, but she wasn't so eager for chaos.
Wichita looked grim.
Su Xia talked a lot, but in the end, she couldn't think of anything else, so she said, "Let's leave it at that for now. Enterprise, please see if there's anything you need to add, and then show it to Victory tomorrow morning. That's it."
Next, they discussed for a long time how to restrict pornographic books, including those pornographic articles, and it was already time to get off work.
Getting ready for dinner.
Wichita pulled Suxia's clothes and stayed behind.
"Admiral, please punish me." Wichita said.
"I said I won't hold you responsible, so I won't hold you responsible," said Su Xia.
"Punish me. You must punish me." Wichita said, "Otherwise I will feel bad for causing so much trouble to the admiral."
"I've never seen anyone like you who actively asks for punishment." Su Xia complained.
"Anyway, give me a chance to compensate the admiral," Wichita said.
"Okay." Su Xia smiled, "I'll give you this chance."
"Tonight," Wichita hesitated, "Come to my room today, I will compensate the admiral, or the admiral can punish me... Hey, admiral, don't leave."
Changchun came up to her before she finished dinner. As promised, Su Xia played games with her after dinner.
Since Changchun didn't like playing games and didn't have any favorite games, Su Xia could only accompany her to try various games and find a game she liked. Finally, she chose Builder. The game had cute graphics and interesting mechanics, and it was really suitable for all ages. He remembered that all the children liked it very much.
I don’t know if it’s because of the genes of a fishery infrastructure fanatic, but Changchun is very keen on building houses and repairing railways when playing games. She was busy all night long, until Su Xia took great pains to connect to the Internet to take her to visit the huge castles and manors built by other players, as well as the huge towns. She was a little dumbfounded.
Only when Changchun finally learned how to play did Su Xia leave the computer desk and lie down on the bed to rest.
There are really a lot of things to do today, it's a bit tiring.
But fortunately, the matter has been resolved. The only problem is who picked up the yellow book, read it and then threw it away. It is still a question. Until it is resolved, there will always be a thorn in my heart.
"Admiral, why don't you play anymore?" Not long after Su Xia left, Changchun also left the computer desk.
"You play." Su Xia said, "I'll take a break. I'm a little tired."
"Admiral, do you want to sleep?" Changchun asked.
"A little bit." Su Xia touched his pocket and remembered that his phone was on the computer desk. "What time is it?"
"It's half past ten." Changchun looked at the lower right corner of the computer screen.
"It's so late?" Su Xia said, "Changchun can go back to bed."
"I think," Changchun climbed onto Su Xia's body, "I want to sleep with the admiral tonight."
Since there were no appointments anyway, it was better to take a day off occasionally, so Su Xia agreed without thinking too much.
"Great." Changchun leaned over and kissed Su Xia on the face.
Until now, Su Xia has not realized the seriousness of the matter.
