Are you still angry?

I want to sleep.

Lin Dong smiled when he heard Raffi's irrelevant answer, and then took Raffi's hand and walked straight out of the venue.

…………

"Lin Dong, Director of the Donghuang Maritime Safety Bureau, assaulted a reporter from Baiying at a press conference."

Lin Dong: Is it my fault you can't find a wife?

"Shocking! Young major general assaulted someone in public, all because of her?"

At this moment, Donghuang was in an uproar both in real life and online because of Lin Dong's press conference.

Meanwhile, the person in question was sitting on a stone chair in the Phoenix Forest, holding Raffi.

"Lafite, you were so scary just now."

"Commander, forget about this."

"I can't forget it. Someone must have taken a picture of it. I'll ask General Cao for one later, hehe."

Enraged, Raffi bit Lin Dong's wrist in frustration.

"Mad Dog"

"Car bomb"

Chapter 28 New Year's Goods

"The Spring Festival is almost here..."

Lin Dong looked at his phone calendar and murmured to himself. A month and a half had passed since he transmigrated. In those short few dozen days, Lin Dong had experienced tremendous changes in his life, gaining a lot and losing a lot...

The poem "On every festive occasion, one misses one's loved ones even more" perfectly encapsulates Lin Dong's current state of mind. After transmigrating, he gained several enviable relationships and a status and wealth that were unattainable in his previous life. However, he also lost his most important family members. This feeling left Lin Dong conflicted, like an equivalent exchange in "The Eighth Pawnshop," where Lin Dong lost his family in exchange for all of this.

If it were the Lin Dong from before his transmigration, he would definitely refuse this exchange. But what about after meeting Nelson, Rodney, Cleveland, Enterprise, and the five little girls? Although the deal was forced upon him, leaving Lin Dong with no choice, would he be willing to give up everything and return to his original world to live a mediocre life? Lin Dong didn't know.

After a series of pointless whining and wild thoughts, Lin Dong's longing for his family deepened.

After letting out a heavy sigh, Lin Dong called the logistics department to borrow a bus, intending to take everyone to buy New Year's goods.

……

"Children cannot get on the bus without paying."

With his left hand on the steering wheel and his right hand gripping the gear shift, Lin Dong spoke fiercely to Spence, who was about to board the bus.

"...Beep, student card"

Spence said cautiously.

"That's a good girl, come on up."

Ford ignored Lin Dong and went straight to the car, finding a seat to sit down.

Lin Dong could only pretend not to see it and make things difficult for Olek, who was following behind Ford.

"What about you?"

"How embarrassing, Commander, you're so childish."

After saying that, Ollie hopped and skipped to sit next to Spence, and then waved his little hand at Zili under the car to signal that they should hurry up and get in.

"Bulibuli, Commander is the most handsome man in the world!"

Before Lin Dong could speak, Zi Buli shouted loudly.

"You have potential, go for it, go for it."

Then Lin Dong spoke to Raffi, who had arrived late.

"What about you, Lafite?"

"Hiccup~~"

"Wow!" Spence exclaimed reflexively in the carriage.

"It stinks! Get up!"

Lin Dong impatiently urged Lafite to get in the car quickly.

"Ahem, Enterprise, let's go."

Lin Dong, who had been joking around, immediately sat up straight and spoke to the company representative outside the car door with a serious expression upon seeing the company.

…………

With the year-end approaching, the mall was packed with people. At this moment, Lin Dong had Ford perched on his shoulders, Raffi in his left arm, and Spence in a shopping cart. Meanwhile, Zibuli was driving a small forklift that he had stolen from somewhere, carrying Oleke and leisurely driving around the mall, having a great time.

The mall manager looked at the two privileged individuals with a sense of despair, and the headline "Village bully drives a forklift recklessly, villagers dare not speak out" flashed through his mind. Of course, "recklessly driving" is a bit of an exaggeration, but the serious disruption of the mall's order is real.

"Enterprise, do something about them..." Lin Dong pleaded with Enterprise while holding back Fute, who was trying to jump onto the forklift.

"You..." Before the company could finish speaking, the two little girls immediately got off the forklift obediently, and even Fu Te, who had been sitting on Lin Dong's shoulders making a fuss, shut his mouth.

"........."

The company is having an existential crisis. Am I really that scary? The commander is one thing, but what's with these little girls?

Lin Dong put his arm around the shoulder of the aggrieved-looking company executive to comfort him, but little did he know that this gesture would be photographed by a busybody and posted online.

"Director of Maritime Security Bureau openly cheats on his wife"

The Maritime Safety Bureau appears to have gained another high-ranking officer.

Shocking! Young Major General Causes Chaos in Supermarket All Because of Her?

Due to legal reasons, the company's face was blurred layer by layer, which ironically made Lin Dong's appearance stand out even more.

Of course, Lin Dong, who had already overcome his internet addiction, was unaware of these events.

……

Since winters in the south aren't that cold, Lin Dong personally helped everyone pick out a scarf and a red space cotton down jacket in the clothing section. Who cares if it's tacky or not? It's all about having a festive look.

Before entering the supermarket, the group bought Spring Festival couplets and paste, which are essential for the Spring Festival, at another store.

First line: May good fortune come to you in all four seasons.

Second line: Treasures from all directions enter the home.

Horizontal scroll: Harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things.

Lin Dong immediately took a liking to this couplet: the first line brings good fortune, the second line brings abundant wealth, and the horizontal inscription blesses the Crystal Palace—what more could one ask for?

After buying the Spring Festival couplets, the group went to the supermarket's snack section and swept up a cart full of snacks and fruits. They also purchased a large amount of fresh ingredients in the food section. After nearly two hours of shopping in the mall, their New Year's shopping spree finally came to an end.

…………

Lin Dong whistled as he drove, glancing occasionally at the five sleeping little girls in the rearview mirror, and then stealing a glance at the company looking out the window at the scenery.

"This feeling is wonderful."

Chapter 29 Enterprise

The azure sea shimmered, and flocks of seagulls circled overhead as they hunted for food.

On the seawall, a young girl in military uniform had her silver hair fluttering in the sea breeze. As a loud eagle's cry rang out, the girl instinctively raised her hand. A bald eagle swooped down from the distant sky, startling away a flock of seagulls before landing steadily on the girl's hand.

Lin Dong stood not far away, gazing at the stunning scene in a daze.

The girl seemed to notice Lin Dong behind her. She gently patted the eagle's head twice before putting it into her ship's equipment.

"commander."

Good morning, businesses.

The two walked side by side along the embankment.

"Enterprise, are you not quite adapting to life in the Security Bureau?"

Lin Dong noticed that the company seemed to be having a rather boring time at the Security Bureau, often standing alone on the beach in a daze.

"I always fantasized about the days after the war ended, but after things settled down, I realized that I seemed to know nothing about doing anything except fighting."

The company, head bowed and looking down at the ground, voiced its concerns.

"Can't stand being a couch potato... being a couch potato is great." Lin Dong thought to himself before remembering a little anecdote about companies: 'Companies might be late, but she still missed two.'

This isn't meant to be derogatory; the corporation was absent from only two of the 22 major battles of the Pacific War. As for how much of a role she played, just look at the 20 medals hanging on the walls of her room.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, this belated American aircraft carrier began her glorious and legendary life (the Enterprise escaped the attack because it missed its return flight due to weather conditions). She first fired the first shot of the American counter-offensive on Roy Island, earning the title of 'Pearl of the Counterattack'. She then participated in the famous Doolittle Raid, followed by sinking the Akagi, Kaga, and Hiryu in the Battle of Midway, and finally suffering severe damage in the Battle of Santa Cruz. At that time, the American fleet had no carriers available in the South Pacific, and then, that woman stepped forward again. The Enterprise, dragging its wounded body, carried the Vesta while fighting and repairing...

…………

"How about... you find some hobbies or interests to pursue within the company?"

"Hobbies?"

The company stopped and looked at Lin Dong with a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, after the war, you should live the life you like. For example, Cleveland loves to tend to her plants, Rodney loves to cook, and Nelson is a workaholic, but that's also her hobby."

Without waiting for the company's reply, Lin Dong grabbed the company's hand and headed towards the building.

…………

Inside the building

"It's so hard..."

The company frowned as he looked at the burnt eggs in the pan.

"It doesn't matter how difficult it is, the most important thing is whether you feel a burst of power coming out of your body when you're frying eggs?"

Lin Dong is trying to uncover the culinary soul deep within the company.

The company thought for a moment, then shook its head.

"It's okay, let's try something else."
