"Judging from this, nothing major seems to have happened at Miss Luming's company." Xiaobai handed the phone to Shenhai Yamato and smiled at him.
"Huh... Could there be a flaw in my perfect reasoning? That can't be..." Deep Sea Yamato carefully held Shiro's phone, repeatedly scrolling through Shiro's conversation with Lu Ming, but couldn't find any further clues. "Am I really overthinking things? Hmm..."
"Maybe there are, but they're just minor troubles," Xiaobai said with a smile. "Miss Luming invited me to visit her tomorrow, so I'll go and check on things there."
“Yes!” Yamato Akagi nodded quickly. “Use your eyes to judge! The truth will come out then!”
"Will Yamato-neechan come with us tomorrow?" Shiro asked.
“Okay, of course…wait, no!” Just as Shenhai Yamato was about to agree, he suddenly seemed to remember something, shook his head, and said to Xiaobai with a bitter face, “Xiaobai, have you forgotten? Our whole family has work tomorrow. If I remember correctly, we are going to perform in three studios tomorrow, and as our manager, you have to go with us.”
"Hey?"
"Here, the schedule." Yamato Shinkai pulled a thick folder from behind him and handed it to Shiro.
Xiao Bai took the folder, looked at it, and was immediately speechless.
Goodness, the Deep Sea Directors' schedules are packed... Tomorrow is the first workday, and not only Deep Sea Yamato, but all the other Deep Sea Directors in the family have various work needs. Xiaobai roughly calculated the schedule and found that if he followed it, from 9:00 AM to 10:30 PM tomorrow, he wouldn't have a single spare moment to do anything else.
"Yamato-neechan, are we really this busy now..." Shiro looked at Yamato Abyss with a sigh.
"Yeah, I've been making a killing on the side lately, my hands are cramping from counting so much money."
"Ha, haha." Little White laughed.
"What about Shiro? I don't care, but what about your date with Miss Shiro tomorrow?" Yamato asked Shiro. "It's really rude of you to make plans with someone one minute and then suddenly say you don't have time the next..."
"Well..." Xiaobai scratched his cheek, looked up at the living room thoughtfully, and muttered, "It seems that this is the only option left..."
……
Early the next morning.
The sun rises from the grassland, its rays shining brightly on the turquoise sea.
After breakfast, Xiaobai's family stood at the door, eagerly waiting.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a van drove up under the blazing sun and finally stopped in front of the villa.
The van door opened.
Miao Yang stepped down, holding onto the doorknob, and looked at Xiao Bai and the ship girls behind her with a very aggrieved expression.
"Good morning, Miss Miao, it's nice to see you again." Xiao Bai scratched his cheek and greeted Miao Yang.
“...Admiral Lu, Admiral Lu Lin…” Miao Yang looked at Xiao Bai with a bitter expression, “Good morning.”
"Well, like Director Chen told you on the phone, I suddenly have something to do today... Anyway, I'm really sorry." Xiao Bai bowed awkwardly to Miao Yang and asked sincerely, "Could you cover my work for another day like before?"
"I'm already here, how can I leave now..." Miao Yang opened her mouth to Xiao Bai, but still didn't know what to say, so she could only lower her head helplessly, "Admiral Lu Lin... let me make this clear from the start, I, I can only act as your agent for one day... because I've already bought a plane ticket for tomorrow's vacation, so no matter what happens tomorrow, I won't be your agent anymore..."
"Understood, understood!" Xiao Bai gave Miao Yang a very "okay" look. "I believe in Miss Miao's abilities!"
"Sigh, get in the car." Miao Yang glanced helplessly at the Deep Sea Deans behind Xiao Bai, then turned to the side to signal them to get in the car.
The directors of the Deep Sea Institute got into the van one by one. When they passed by Miao Yang, the directors of the Deep Sea Institute even reached out and patted Miao Yang on the shoulder.
"Miss Miao, I'll have to ask for your help again this time!"
I want to eat steak for lunch today.
Have you prepared your sleeping bag for your afternoon nap?
"Also, earplugs and snacks."
"Please take care of me during the filming."
"Remember to keep fans away from me!"
"..."
Every time the deans of the Deep Sea Institute patted Miao Yang on the shoulder, it seemed to make Miao Yang appear even shorter.
clatter clatter————
The directors of the deep-sea research institute got into the van, sat down, and opened the windows to greet the people below.
Miao Yang looked at Dean Shen Hai in the car, rubbed her shoulders, and lowered her head.
My shoulders are so sore.
I'm so tired.
Being around these ship girls feels like my soul has been drained.
Once this work is over, I absolutely have to go to a hot spring resort and have some fun...
"Then, Admiral Lu Lin, I'll take them to the first photography studio first," Miao Yang said to Xiao Bai.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Xiaobai looked at Miao Yang gratefully. "Please don't worry about my feelings. If they don't listen, just scold them!"
Looking at Xiaobai's sincere expression, Miao Yang was speechless for a moment.
"I...I'll try my best..."
After waving goodbye to Xiaobai, Miao Yang went back into the van.
The van started up with a chugging sound, carrying a group of Dean Shen Hai towards the edge of the grassland, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Chapter 2419 A Happy Going to Work
Lu Ming's film and television company is located on the most bustling street in Peicheng.
Lu Ming's film and television company is called Fanhua Entertainment Film and Television Co., Ltd. It was originally an ordinary film and television company in Peicheng. Logically speaking, there are at least a hundred film and television companies of this size in Peicheng. A company without any competitiveness should never have a chance to stand out in the deep entertainment industry. However, the turning point came more than half a year ago. Since the accidental discovery of the new actor Lu Ming, Fanhua Entertainment's reputation and resources have soared. Although its size is not yet comparable to the top film and television companies with deep foundations, it can at least stand firm in the entertainment industry with the popularity and achievements of the superstar Lu Ming.
Today, the entrance of Fanhua Entertainment Film and Television Co., Ltd. is resplendent with gold.
The security guard at the entrance drank mineral water, his eyes fixed on any outsider attempting to break into the company.
Under the watchful eye of the gatekeeper, an inconspicuous car drove along the street in the distance and finally came to a slow stop in front of the film company.
The car door opens.
A white-haired little girl wearing sunglasses got off the bus.
"This is Miss Lu Ming's company. This is my first time here. I didn't expect it to be so close to Director Chen's company." The white-haired girl looked at the entrance of the film company without any hesitation. She adjusted her sunglasses and called out to the car, "You guys should come out soon too."
Four figures stepped out of the car one after another.
The first to get off the bus was a beautiful young woman with dazzling blonde hair, clear blue eyes, and an ethereal, icy aura. But before this icy demeanor could even take hold, the blonde girl instantly broke character, sneakily running up behind the white-haired girl and tightly hugging her.
Next, two mature women with fair skin, one in red and the other in blue, stepped out of the car. After getting out of the car, the two women moved slightly closer to the white-haired girl and looked around with a hint of curiosity.
The last figure stepped out of the driver's seat. She was a beautiful woman with long, flowing black hair, an elegant and gentle demeanor, and an appearance that made it difficult to tell whether she was a young girl or a young woman.
"It seems like the more prestigious film and television companies in Peicheng like to gather together." The black-haired beauty closed the driver's side door, took out her keys, locked the car, and walked to the white-haired girl's side, looking at the film and television company in front of her. "Hmm, it's not far away. If conditions permit in the future, it seems like we can visit each other more often."
"Well, we still need to be invited..." The white-haired girl smiled at the black-haired beauty, then led the group toward the security guard's position at the entrance.
The gatekeeper stared at the women approaching him.
The women who stepped out of the car were all exceptionally beautiful, even surpassing the looks and charisma of many heavily edited movie stars on television. The security guard racked his brains; in his knowledge, only his company's star actress, Lu Ming, seemed to rival them in appearance.
Lu Ming is hailed as a super beauty who appears only once every hundred years... Are beauties of this caliber so common now?
A hint of doubt flickered in the gatekeeper's eyes, but he quickly went to greet him.
"Excuse me, this is a private company. Please stop here if you are just passing by." The security guard stepped forward and said to the women in front of him, "If you are a tourist, please walk around. If you are a fan of Ms. Lu Ming, I'm sorry, there is no place to receive fans here. Please do not disturb Ms. Lu Ming's work..."
As the security guard was speaking, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which startled him, and he stopped talking.
—It smells so sweet!
The security guard followed the scent to the white-haired girl, but quickly sensed something was amiss. His gaze finally settled on the silent woman beside the girl. The woman at the source of the fragrance gently covered her mouth, her eyes as clear and bright as ruby, her gaze cool and indifferent.
The woman's fragrance seemed to possess a subtle magic, drawing people willingly into its allure.
But soon a card caught the security guard's eye, and it was waved in front of him.
The security guard snapped out of his daze and looked down at the white-haired girl who was standing close to him.
"Hello, we are the invited guests." The white-haired girl smiled and held up the card in her hand, showing the security guard the front of her work ID.
"Work ID?" The security guard was taken aback.
"Let's go in then," the white-haired girl said to the security guard, leading the group toward the entrance of the film company.
"Hey, wait a minute, I don't know you. Even if you have work IDs, I still need to check them..." The security guard watched the women walk into the company and subconsciously reached out to stop them. But halfway through his hand, the woman behind the white-haired girl, who was covered in perfume, simply covered her mouth and glanced at him. The security guard immediately swallowed hard, as if he had seen his first love, and stood there stammering.
The security guard watched helplessly as five women walked into the film company, and even long after the women disappeared from sight, he remained looking utterly dejected.
……
As Xiaobai and his group entered Luming's film company, they were greeted by a muscular man in a suit walking towards them as soon as they arrived at the front desk.
The burly man in the suit looked surprised when he saw Xiaobai and his group.
"Admiral Lu Lin?" The burly man in the suit greeted Xiao Bai and his group.
"Ah, it's Lu Ming's manager." Xiao Bai stopped, took off her sunglasses, and waved to the burly man in the suit with a smile. "How did you recognize me?"
"This shouldn't be hard to recognize." The burly man in the suit glanced at the woman behind Xiaobai, then asked Xiaobai, "Are these also Admiral Lu Lin's ship girls?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Xiaobai nodded.
The ship girls and abyssal deans behind Xiaobai also greeted the burly man in the suit.
“I see. Lu Ming just told me that Admiral Lu Lin would be visiting the company today. I was just about to tell the security guard outside, but I didn’t expect you to arrive so early.” The burly man in the suit nodded and pointed in the direction behind him, “Admiral Lu Lin, Lu Ming’s studio is room 001. If you want to go see her, go over there.”
"Oh! Okay!" Xiaobai nodded.
"Then I'll take my leave." The burly man in the suit smiled kindly at Xiaobai, straightened his collar, and prepared to leave.
"Is there something you need to do, Mr. Agent?" Xiao Bai noticed that the burly man in the suit seemed to be in a hurry and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing." The burly man in the suit shook his head, but didn't explain further. After saying goodbye to Xiaobai, he quickly walked out through the door Xiaobai had just entered through and disappeared.
Xiao Bai stared curiously at the departing figure of the burly man in the suit.
Xiao Bai thoughtfully withdrew his gaze and glanced back at the situation inside Lu Ming Company.
At present, the staff at Luming's company are working in an orderly manner. The company does not have many employees, and at a glance, there seem to be less than a hundred people. However, everyone is in a hurry, and few people are chatting. There is a heavy atmosphere in the air.
Even when Xiaobai and his group arrived, the company staff ignored them.
"What a strange atmosphere," Saratoga muttered.
"My lord, is work such an unpleasant thing?" Akagi Fukami asked, covering her mouth. "I sense that they are all sullen."
“There are very few people in this world who can smile while working,” Akagi replied from the side, as if recalling some past events. “When I worked in human society before, I couldn’t smile at all at work. Every day I couldn’t wait to get off work and rest.”
"Why go to work if you don't like it?" Kaga Fukami asked Akagi curiously.
"This involves very complicated matters." Akagi smiled slightly at Deepsea Kaga, raising her hand to gently rub Deepsea Kaga's head. "Sometimes, life for humans isn't any easier than that for deep-sea creatures..."
"..." Kaga Shinkai blinked.
Since Xiaobai is visiting the company as Luming's friend, there is no need for staff to receive them.
Xiao Bai and his group were quite happy to easily find Lu Ming's room and knocked on the door.
The so-called Studio 001 was actually Lu Ming's dressing room. When Xiao Bai and her group knocked on the door, they found that Lu Ming was the only person in the entire dressing room. She was sitting in front of the mirror, fiddling with a pot of colorful flowers.
Hearing the door open, Lu Ming stopped what he was doing and turned to look at the door.
"Miss Luming, we're here." Xiaobai stood at the door and waved to Luming.
Lu Ming looked at the crowd in front of the door, paused for a moment, but quickly put down the flowers and plants in his hand and stood up from his seat.
"Miss Luming, what's wrong? You seem surprised to see us." Xiaobai walked into the room and smiled at Luming.
“Because… it’s still very early.” Lu Ming said, glancing at the clock on the wall. Then she walked up to the group and said sincerely to Xiao Bai, “I thought you would be late.”
It is currently 9:00 AM.
For a typical company, this does indeed mean they have just started operations, and people wouldn't normally choose this time to visit or have guests.
"It's so kind of Miss Luming to invite me here, I couldn't wait!" Xiaobai said with a smile to Luming. "Won't it be a hassle for Miss Luming to come so early?"
"I've been quite free these past few days." Lu Ming gave Xiao Bai a faint smile. She shook her head and her gaze quickly fell on Deep Sea Kaga and Deep Sea Akagi behind Xiao Bai.
This was the first time Lu Ming had seen these two people, especially the first time he had seen Akagi Akagi.
The fragrance emanating from Akagi Fukami quickly filled the room as she entered. Lu Ming sniffed the air and his eyes, full of intelligence, fixed on Akagi Fukami.
"Let me introduce you to Miss Luming. These two are my new ship girls," Xiaobai said, seeing Luming's curiosity.
"Newly built?" Lu Ming looked at Xiao Bai.
