Elder brother's garrison

"Let's go check at the front desk," Lu Ming suggested.

"oh oh!"

Lu Ming walked in front of the crowd, leading them out of the dressing room and towards the company's front desk.

At the reception desk of Luming Company, the female staff member was looking in the direction of the main entrance. She only slowly turned her head to look when she heard the approaching footsteps of the crowd.

"Miss Lu Ming?" The female staff member looked at Lu Ming in surprise.

"Mm." Lu Ming stopped at the front desk and nodded to the female staff member.

"Ms. Lu Ming, you're not thinking of going out, are you?" The female staff member saw Lu Ming approaching and assumed she wanted to leave, so she quickly said, "Not now. These are extraordinary times. You should try to stay in the company. If you want to leave early, you should at least notify us in advance, and we will arrange a shuttle bus back to your residence..."

"I don't want to go out." Lu Ming shook her head and asked the female staff member curiously, "Are there any other companies coming to discuss cooperation plans today?"

"Huh? Oh, oh..." The female staff member was taken aback. She nodded to herself, "Not going out? That's fine then... uh... a collaborative project? Today... um... apart from some little-known small businesses, there are about seventeen, all contacted by phone or email."

The female staff member looked down and flipped through her notes before giving Lu Ming a reply.

"Has anyone been looking for me?" Lu Ming asked again.

“…All seventeen of them are.” The female staff member smiled wryly.

"Can I take a look?" Lu Ming asked, extending his hands to the female staff member and blinking.

"Miss Luming, this isn't quite right..." The female staff member looked at Luming awkwardly, but she couldn't withstand Luming's innocent gaze, and finally had no choice but to hand over the notebook with both hands, "Then... then Miss Luming, please don't break the notebook..."

"Thank you." Lu Ming smiled at the female staff member, holding the notebook, and then handed it to Xiao Bai under her helpless gaze.

Xiaobai and the ship girls quickly began studying the contents of the notebook.

"Wow... opening ceremonies, film collaborations, variety shows, talk shows... so many kinds!" Xiaobai looked at the notebook again and again, marveling. "Does Miss Luming have so many work demands every day?"

"It depends on the situation. Most of the invitations here don't fit Ms. Luming's schedule, so we have to turn them down," the female staff member explained to Xiaobai. "Besides, as a pillar of our company, Ms. Luming doesn't accept just any type of work; it has to be commensurate with her current status."

"I see." Xiaobai nodded gratefully to the female staff member. She placed her notebook on the front desk, pointed to one of the advertisement recording jobs, and asked, "How's this job?"

"Oh... this? This job is to invite Ms. Lu Ming to be the spokesperson for a brand of instant noodles." The female staff member glanced at her notebook and said to Xiao Bai, "The competitor of this instant noodle brand recently suffered a brand collapse because they sold pickled cabbage seasoning packets with substandard safety indicators in their products. So they want to seize this opportunity to occupy the market and strike while the iron is hot to expand their brand awareness and publicity. In terms of brand, it is a well-regarded big brand, but unfortunately, the route of instant noodle spokespersons conflicts with Ms. Lu Ming's career image, so she will not be selected."

"That's really strict."

"There's nothing we can do about it," the female staff member said.

"Can I take this job?" Lu Ming stepped forward, glanced down at his notebook, and then asked the female staff member.

"Huh?" The female staff member was stunned. "This... Miss Lu, you've forgotten your current situation..."

“I remember. That’s why I’m accepting.” Lu Ming said to the female staff member, who patted her notebook and said softly, “Please tell my manager for me.”

"Ah...but why..." The female staff member looked incomprehensible. "Even if...even if Miss Luming wanted to choose a job, why did you choose this one? This doesn't suit your image..."

"Because it says on this that filming can start tomorrow."

"..." Female staff member.

"Please." Lu Ming said to the female staff member.

“…Sigh.” The female staff member sighed. “Alright…I will pass on your thoughts to the higher-ups, Ms. Lu Ming…”

After thanking the receptionist, Xiaobai and her group returned to Luming's dressing room.

Back in the dressing room, Xiaobai looked at Luming's profile and asked curiously, "Miss Luming, can't you contact your agent yourself?"

"Hmm?" Lu Ming looked at Xiao Bai. "I have the agent's phone number."

"Then why don't you just call your agent and tell them directly?"

"Because I need to see what kind of work I can do first," Lu Ming said, then thought for a moment, "and if I have someone else relay the message for me, my agent won't scold me."

"Uh……"

Looking at Lu Ming's expression, Xiao Bai couldn't help but think of Lu Ming's muscular, hot-tempered manager, and scratched his head.

Lu Ming's company is surprisingly efficient at disseminating information.

Not long after Xiaobai and his group returned to the dressing room, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

Soon, a knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Lu Ming! Are you in there?! I heard from the receptionist that you picked a new job?!"

A rough and steady male voice echoed incessantly at the doorway.

Lu Ming got up and opened the door.

As soon as the door to the dressing room opened, a figure as large as a small mountain appeared before everyone.

The muscular man in the suit looked much darker when he saw Lu Ming. He was about to say something to Lu Ming when he suddenly saw Xiao Bai in the room and immediately shut his mouth.

"Admiral Lu Lin, you're here too." The muscular man in the suit nodded to Xiao Bai.

"Hello, Mr. Agent." Xiaobai waved to the muscular man in the suit, then said with a smile, "Miss Luming has already told me about what has been happening at the company recently."

"...Is that so?" The muscular man in the suit frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"It's a disaster to encounter something like this," Xiaobai remarked to the man in the suit.

The man in the suit relaxed his brow.

Under Xiaobai's watchful eye, the man in the suit looked around carefully before cautiously entering the dressing room.

“Generally speaking… it’s normal for top celebrities to receive special attention from some extremists. Behind the flowers are often jealousy and scorn. As agents, we are always prepared to deal with these issues.” The man in the suit said to Xiaobai with a hum. “However, in my experience, what Lu Ming encountered this time is one of the most outrageous.”

At this point, the man in the suit turned to look at Lu Ming.

“Lu Ming, you should know that this isn’t a simple prank,” the man in the suit said.

"Hmm." Lu Ming lowered his head.

"In that case, for your safety, resting during this period is the best choice. Why do you still want to take on more work?" the man in the suit asked.

"Ah, I asked Lu Ming to do it." Xiao Bai raised his hand.

"Admiral Lu Lin?" The man in the suit paused, then looked at Xiao Bai. "You...why?"

"It's like this..." Xiaobai briefly told the man in the suit about the ideas she and Luming had discussed.

The man in the suit listened quietly to Xiaobai's words, his brows furrowed.

"...In short, Miss Shikamei's work stoppage has also caused some trouble for our Navy's propaganda. In order to help Miss Shikamei return to her normal work status as soon as possible, our naval base is willing to become Miss Shikamei's personal bodyguard and protect her safety in this plan to lure the snake out of its hole."

“Naval base…bodyguards…” the man in the suit murmured, glancing up at the girl in front of him.

"Manager, you must have seen our ship girl show off her skills, right?" Xiaobai patted her chest and smiled at the man in the suit. "Remember Loki? She was the one who jumped off a cliff hundreds of meters high during the last movie shoot and didn't get hurt at all. She could even jump back up at lightning speed."

Hearing this, the man in the suit finally let go of his suspicion.

"Admiral Lu Lin, do all your ship girls possess physical abilities like Miss Loki?" the man in the suit asked.

"Don't worry, that level of skill is basic in the ship girls world." Xiaobai gave the man in the suit an OK sign. "If you don't believe me, any one of us here can demonstrate it for you again without any problem."

"...Then...please be sure to show me the power of the ship girls." The man in the suit said solemnly to Xiaobai.

“Saratoga.” Little White turned his head to look at Saratoga.

"I'm here." Saratoga appeared beside Little White in a flash.

“Perform that for him.” Xiaobai pointed at the man in the suit.

"Order."

Saratoga walked up to the man in the suit and met his gaze without fear.

The man in the suit also stared intently at Saratoga, as if trying to discern every move she made.

Under the watchful eyes of the man in the suit, Saratoga lightly raised her right hand.

then.

Tap it out gently.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

Saratoga's small fist flew towards the man in the suit at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, a strong whooshing sound swept over Saratoga, creating a gust of wind that scattered objects in all directions. The powerful wind slammed against the man in the suit like a wall, making his suit flutter loudly, and his nearly 200-pound body almost fell over.

Finally, Saratoga's little fist stopped at the tip of the man's nose.

Calm and calm.

The man stared at Saratoga, his eyes wide and his back soaked with sweat.

In that brief moment, a huge word, "death," flashed through the man's mind.

Let's get along amicably from Chapter 2424 onwards.

Saratoga, like a victorious Western gunslinger, retracted his fist, stylishly blew a light breath onto it, and then tucked it into his pocket.

Hua Hua Hua——

As Saratoga moved, objects blown away by the force of his punches fell to the ground, making a series of crisp sounds.

The man in the suit looked at Saratoga with lingering shock.

Although Saratoga's punch didn't land on the man in the suit's face, the powerful, almost tangible force of the punch still stung his face. The man in the suit knew very well that if that punch had such an exaggerated impact, his head would have been split into four pieces in an instant if it had actually hit him.

Just as the man was in shock, a clear voice entered his ears.

"My ship girls are pretty awesome, aren't they?"

The voice sounded delicate and lovely, with a hint of pride mixed in.

The man looked toward the source of the sound and saw Xiaobai sitting in a chair, chest out, smiling happily at him.

The man in the suit slowly exhaled.

The man in the suit lowered his head to calm himself down, and when he looked at Xiaobai again, the doubt in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by deep respect.

"This... is this what ship girls are like..." the man in the suit exclaimed.

"Physical ability is just one aspect of what makes ship girls so powerful," Xiaobai said with a smile to the man in the suit. "There are even more amazing things, but those involve the privacy of our admiral circle, so I can't show them all to you."

"No need, no need, I... I've already personally experienced the combat power of the ship girls." Upon hearing that there was even more to come, the man in the suit quickly shook his head. He gave a wry smile and sincerely apologized to Xiaobai, "Admiral Lu Lin, just now... I was a frog in a well. I apologize to you."

"It's alright, it's a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better." Xiaobai said, pursing her lips at the man in the suit, "At least after the demonstration just now, Mr. Manager should now believe that we do indeed have the ability to protect Miss Luming from bad guys, right?"

After listening to Xiaobai's words, the man in the suit first glanced at Saratoga, then at the mess on the ground, and pondered in silence for a while.

After about half a minute, the man in the suit, having figured things out, nodded slightly.

"Having military ship girls as bodyguards for Shikamaru is indeed reassuring."

"Miss Luming, may we begin work now?"

"Regarding this matter... if Admiral Lu Lin is specifically protecting her, then it is indeed possible." The man in the suit couldn't help but glance at Saratoga again before continuing.

"Then let's decide on that!" Xiaobai said happily, clasping her hands together. "There's an advertisement that we can start filming tomorrow, so how about we choose that one?"

"Admiral Lu Lin is talking about... the instant noodles?"

"Yes."

"...Having Lu Ming become the spokesperson for instant noodles really goes against the star image our company has created for her..."

"Things have developed to this point, do you still care about this?" Xiaobai reminded the man in the suit. "Our main task now is not to get Miss Luming to work, but to lure out the snakes and catch the haters who are trying to harm Miss Luming. The job is just bait."

Xiaobai finished speaking.

The man in the suit frowned.

"That makes sense, but..." The man in the suit was in a dilemma. He thought for a moment and looked up at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming stood quietly beside Xiao Bai, looking incredibly obedient and compliant.

Seeing Lu Ming's expression, the man in the suit scratched his head in frustration and sighed helplessly.

“Lu Ming,” the man in the suit asked.

"I'm here." Lu Ming looked up.

"Do you want this job?" the man in the suit asked.

"Mm." Lu Ming nodded.

"Sigh..." The man in the suit sighed as if he had expected this. "Since Lu Ming herself agrees, then as her agent, I have to respect her wishes... Here's what I'll do: I'll contact the instant noodle brand later, and if all goes well, we can start filming tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Mr. Agent." Xiaobai smiled as soon as the man in the suit agreed.
