Chapter 721 Better to Work

Balloons, ribbons, fireworks, and cheering sticks.

These things were bought back, of course not to be left idle.

Even though Huang Chen had said there was no need to go to great lengths, it would still be a waste to buy something and not use it. Besides, the process of blowing up balloons and sticking streamers to decorate the living room was not boring. At least the little ones enjoyed it.

Of course, Huang Chen rejected the suggestion to open the banner. He would rather waste it than stick it in the living room as Z26 thought.

Soon U557 came out dressed. The sleepy girl was wearing a maid outfit and walked in front of Huang Chen, holding the corner of her clothes. After receiving the latter's praise, even the dark circles at the corners of her eyes seemed to have reduced a little. Then she curled up on the sofa and slept even more soundly.

Next was Zeppelin. She put on her clothes with the help of Tirpitz. Her grandeur beneath her undershirt and coat was still as majestic as a mountain, which looked amazing and shocking.

After she put on her maid outfit, she stood beside Huang Chen like a guardian, without saying a word and without helping to decorate the living room. Tirpitz followed her sister to the kitchen to help, but she was still standing aside.

Huang Chen felt strange and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter with Zeppelin?"

"Hmm? Master, is there something wrong with me?" Zeppelin leaned over and asked softly.

Her tone was gentle and her eyes were calm. Her long silver hair was neatly tied up and tucked under a lace headband. She had a well-behaved feeling, as if she had really become a maid.

"Didn't you tell me not to call me master? That was just a joke, Bismarck."

Huang Chen was puzzled and felt very strange. Zeppelin was completely different from what he had imagined, completely different, even completely opposite.

what on earth is it?

"I see."

Zeppelin nodded without saying anything, but stopped standing aside and sat on a high chair next to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking downstairs.

Huang Chen was puzzled and shook Lafite. Lafite turned over and continued to sleep. He shook U557 again, and U557 opened his eyes weakly.

These two guys are unreliable.

Huang Chen pursed his lips and planned to find an opportunity to be alone with Qi Peilin in the afternoon or tomorrow.

However, the silver-haired girl was also wondering, the commander was very excited when the maid outfit was only half put on before, why did he become calm now that it was fully put on?

Should I ask Bismarck?

"Commander, everyone, you can wash your hands and prepare lunch." Eugen called.

The little ones who were busy decorating the living room suddenly jumped for joy. Although decorating the living room was fun, eating was even more interesting.

Everyone lined up to wash their hands, and Huang Chen also woke up the two little guys, Lafite and U557.

It is worth mentioning that Rafi was still wearing pajamas and was discovered by Benson and taken back to the room to change clothes.

I don’t know if it was intentional or to fit in, but Raffi finally put on the maid outfit she had prepared. Benson couldn’t wait to put it on too, as she had been looking forward to it for a long time.

Z28 was the only one left struggling for a long time, and it was finally Huang Chen's words that allowed the little girl to put her worries aside temporarily.

Lunch was relatively simple, with traditional Iron Blood flavor, sausages, barbecue, and sauerkraut, which could basically be considered Bismarck's cooking.

The reason why it can only be said to be approximate is not because Eugen and Tirpitz helped with this meal, but because the method is simple.

For example, sausages are pre-made sausages bought from the supermarket, and Bismarck's job is to fry them in an iron pan.

For example, if you want to buy barbecue from a butcher shop, ask the enthusiastic butcher to cut it for you, marinate it with BBQ sauce bought from the supermarket, put it in the oven, and serve it when the set time is up.

So this can only be considered Bismarck's craftsmanship.

In fact, ever since Hipper was sent out, the bookstore has lacked a real cook who can cook well.

Fortunately, everyone is not picky about food, and supermarket pre-made products help everyone solve many troubles. Even the Z26 can accomplish the feat of cooking pasta for itself and opening a can of tomato sauce, so everyone does not think there is anything wrong.

As for the feast to welcome the commander, Bismarck actually booked a catering service from a Iron Blood restaurant in the KanColle branch, with the chef coming to the restaurant.

But it has just been cancelled at Eugen's suggestion.

Lunch was over soon and Huang Chen helped to clean up the dishes. The little ones were sent to take a nap. Without their noise, the room quickly became quiet, which was a little unusual.

"Commander, you should take a rest. I cleaned up your room before." Bismarck said at the kitchen door after the dishes were almost cleaned up.

Eugen naturally went back to his room when he came back, and Huang Chen's suitcase was still placed by the living room door.

He wiped his hands, followed Bismarck, and quickly walked to a door. He pushed it open and entered a very "clean" room. There was nothing in it except the basic supplies.

"Whose room was this before?"

"Empty room, no one lives there."

Huang Chen nodded, put his luggage in the corner, and looked around the room casually. Although it had been vacant for a long time, it was very clean, and even the dead corners were spotless.

"Commander, please take a rest. Tirpitz and Zeppelin should also take a rest." Bismarck smiled and gently closed the door.

Huang Chen didn't say anything. He lay in bed for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy. He had just dozed off for a long time while holding Lafite, and he felt unexpectedly energetic.

He simply stood up, opened the door and walked into the corridor.

It was quiet. Even though there was a thick carpet on the floor, you could still hear the muffled footsteps when walking on it.

Everyone seemed to be taking a nap, leaving him alone wandering around.

When he walked to the door of the study, he saw that it was ajar. Through the crack, he could see Bismarck working at his desk.

"Bismarck?" He knocked on the door lightly, a little surprised. "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Commander?" Bismarck looked up, a hint of surprise on his delicate face, but he quickly calmed down. "I don't have the habit of taking a nap. I usually do some work at this time. Is that the case with you, Commander?"

"I've slept there before." Huang Chen said casually and walked in to take a look curiously.

Bismarck didn't care and opened the thick book in his hand to show it. "The bookstore's accounts and inventory. I want to sell the entire bookstore. I didn't know when the commander would come, so I didn't take any action."

Huang Chen was a little embarrassed, but he couldn't explain it because he didn't know when he would be able to come over, and the time arrangements often exceeded his expectations.

Just like when I went to see Yixian and the others before, the plan was to stay for two weeks, but I ended up staying there for nearly a month.

He scratched his head, wanting to say something.

Bismarck suddenly waved his hand, then stood up and walked to the bookcase. "Since the commander is free, it's just right to sort out the clues about the Northern Alliance."

Chapter 722 What if it’s just the two of us?

Eugen's room was exactly the same as when he left. The tables, chairs and wine cabinet were all still the same.

The floor and corners were spotless, obviously someone came in to clean the room regularly.

The girl sat on the chair, looking at the familiar environment, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

But soon, she turned her gaze to the wine cabinet beside her, on which various types of wine were neatly arranged, ranging from red wine to foreign wine.

Some of them were opened and a few drinks were consumed, but some were kept well in glass cabinets.

Eugen rested his chin on one hand and gently tapped the table with the other, making a thudding sound. He muttered to himself, "There shouldn't be any problems with Bismarck. Tirpitz probably won't need my help. That leaves Zeppelin."

She frowned slightly, feeling a little unsure.

Unlike Bismarck who had no idea how to express his feelings, Zeppelin liked to use strange words to express his feelings.

It's obvious that he likes her, so Bismarck would probably stammer and be unable to express it, while Zeppelin would probably say something like "I will wait for the end of the world with you."

All in all, these two are about the same, and Zeppelin can only be said to be slightly better.

"I still have to go talk to her, even if it's just as an arrangement." Eugen stood up and walked out of the room. He walked quickly to the door of Zeppelin's room and knocked gently. "Zeppelin?"

"Eugen?" Soon, the door opened. Zeppelin seemed happy to see her. "You've come just in time. I'm a little confused about the maid outfit. It doesn't match what Bismarck said."

Eugen was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanting to roll his eyes, but he finally held it back. "You learned how to take down a commander from Bismarck? What a bold statement!"

She couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, she came back this time. If it was Hipper or Z23, the problem would probably not be solved.

……

"The clues about the Northern Alliance had some connection with them in the past, mainly Eugen's sister, Tallin." Bismarck moved quickly and neatly, rummaging through the bookshelf, and soon he took out a large stack of documents.

Huang Chen stood there in a daze for a long time, his lips moving slightly, but he couldn't say a word. He was a little confused. They were talking about work again?

As for the clues about the Northern Alliance, Eugen had told him about this matter a long time ago, and later he contacted Bismarck to discuss it. Because Tallinn was Eugen's sister, the two sides had contact for a period of time, but it was just contact.

The last time we exchanged letters was a long time ago. At that time, Tallin and the others were at the Commander Academy in Area S. I’m not sure if there have been any changes since then.

Area S is too far away, and communication across continents is extremely inconvenient. There is a lack of quick communication methods such as telegraphs. It takes several months to send a letter, and it takes almost a year to go back and forth. In the event of an emergency, the letter may be lost.

When the company found Bismarck before, they sent a letter to the last address, but they didn't know if there was a reply.

The so-called organizing clues is to speculate their possible actions based on the content of the letters they exchanged before, to guess whether they will stay in the college, those who stay in the college, where those who left went, etc.

The work was not complicated, but it was somewhat tedious, so it had not been completed.

Of course the clues about the Hong Kong sisters are very important. Do we have to be so anxious?

"Wait." Huang Chen took the document from Bismarck and put it back on the bookshelf. "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Bismarck was stunned, then looked at other documents and reached out, "Commander, would you like to see the bookstore's inventory..."

"Let's not talk about work." Huang Chen grabbed the girl's hand and pulled it back, interrupting her speech.

Bismarck pursed his lips and was silent for a moment. "If we don't talk about work, then what should we talk about?"

"You can talk about anything, daily gossip, or even today's weather, but don't talk about work." Huang Chen pulled Bismarck back to his desk and tidied up the things on it.

Ledger? Receipts? Put them aside for now.

Bismarck frowned, staring at his bare hand, hesitantly saying, "Commander, my hand..."

"What's wrong with your hand?" Huang Chen took the girl's hand and examined it. The hand was as soft as a catkin and the fingers were as green as green onions. It was a very clean and beautiful hand. "There's nothing wrong."

Bismarck was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Commander, don't tease me on purpose..."

"Why am I teasing you? Can't we hold hands?" Huang Chen chuckled.

Bismarck pursed his lips and was speechless.

"Okay." Huang Chen let go of his hand, sat on the chair, and said casually, "Want to go out for a walk this afternoon?"

Bismarck stared at her fingertips without saying a word. The commander had clearly let go, but for some reason, she felt empty.

"Bismarck?"

A pair of large hands waved in front of her eyes, and the girl came back to her senses. "Commander? What?"

"I was wondering if we should go somewhere for a walk this afternoon. I guess we don't have any plans for the afternoon, right? Our previous plans have been disrupted." Huang Chen was swaying in his chair.

"What kind of place does Commander like? Park? Beach? Shopping street? Fenggu still has some interesting places." Bismarck asked.

"What's your suggestion?"

"Since we don't have much time in the afternoon, I suggest we go to the branch's commercial street. It's more convenient for everyone to take a taxi there, and we can have dinner there in the evening." Bismarck said after thinking for a moment.

Although Eugen had mentioned her plans for the evening, she felt that satisfying the commander's request was a higher priority.

Huang Chen nodded, but said nothing. He just looked at Bismarck silently. Only when Bismarck felt something was wrong did he speak, "What if it's the two of us?"

……

Eugen came out of Zeppelin's room, feeling a little relieved.

After a conversation, her thoughts were finally corrected. In short, it was not a big problem, as long as she could be ranked behind Bismarck.

She stood there for a while, but heard the sound of a door opening. Tirpitz walked out of the bedroom with some hesitation.

"Have you had a good rest?" Eugen was a little surprised. It should still be early, right?

Tirpitz shook his head and hesitated for a moment. "I feel... things aren't going well with my sister. You know her personality, and now our plans have been disrupted. I want to talk to her."

"Bismarck? Don't worry about that. I've already made arrangements, just waiting until tonight." Eugen blinked to indicate that there was no problem.

Tirpitz nodded slightly without asking what the solution was. When it came to her relationship with the commander, she completely trusted Eugen.

She was about to return to her room, but suddenly frowned and looked towards the study. "The commander and sister are in the study?"

Eugen tilted his head in confusion, tiptoed forward, and leaned against the door to eavesdrop.

Tirpitz hesitated for a moment and then walked up.

Chapter 723 Change and Unchanging

Bismarck was not good at expressing his emotions.

But this is not a big problem. Huang Chen is already quite good at this. Although he is no longer a veteran in the love field, at least he will not run away at the critical moment.
