"It's a pity that our medal is missing." Lexington solemnly pinned the medal on Li Ran's chest, and Lexington wiped the non-existent dust on it, feeling very regretful.

Holding his wife's hand, Li Ran comforted him: "It's okay, as long as you are here, it's enough."

Lexington smiled slightly, held hands with his admiral, and waited quietly for the person who came to pick them up.

Didi didi!

Not long after, a car parked outside the door.

Hearing the noise outside the house, Li Ran and Lexington opened the door and walked out.

Outside, Indiana was leaning lazily against the car door.

Seeing Li Ran come out, Indiana smiled and said hello: "Hey, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay." Li Ran nodded slightly and replied, "I can live here thanks to your help."

Waving his hand, Indiana disagreed: "It's a trivial matter. Even if the room is empty, it's empty. Besides, Ssangyong has helped me share a lot of work before, so I'll still give it to you."

Hearing this, Li Ran's eyes lit up.

"That's all I can do to help. Don't even think about getting any benefits from me." Seeing this, Indiana hurriedly added.

"Hehe~!"

Li Ran touched the back of his head and smiled.

He also wanted to use Ssangyong's relationship to get more resources from Indiana, but he didn't expect to be rejected before he even opened his mouth.

"Okay, get in the car. I'm here to pick you up." Indiana shook his head and motioned for the two of them to get in the car.

After sitting in the back row, Li Ran leaned on the back of the chair in the front row and asked, "What is this annual meeting about?"

Li Ran knew the meaning of the annual meeting, but he couldn't understand the annual meeting organized by the Governor's Mansion. He didn't believe that the Governor's Mansion had no other meanings.

Pulling down his sunglasses and putting them on, Indiana skillfully started the car and said as he drove, "It's nothing, it's just a party where a group of big guys brag about each other."

"this one?!"

Li Ran looked at Lexington and couldn't laugh or cry.

He thought it was some grand occasion, but he didn't expect this answer.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them through the rearview mirror, the corners of Indiana's mouth turned up slightly, as if she liked seeing Li Ran's surprised expression.

"At first, it was just a few admirals who made an appointment to get together. Later, more and more people participated in the gathering. We simply proposed to the Governor's Mansion to hold a gathering every year to strengthen the cohesion among the admirals."

At this point, Indiana burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" Li Ran blinked, confused.

Indiana stepped on the accelerator and said with a smile: "What do you think a group of admirals can do when they get together?"

"Showing the boat!" Li Ran blurted out.

Snapping his fingers, Indiana nodded and said, "Yes, apart from exchanging some information, the admirals' favorite thing is to show off their ships."

"So you called me over?" Looking up at the rearview mirror, Li Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

With his mouth pursed, Indiana answered the question inappropriately: "Am I so boring?"

"Uh~!"

With a condensed expression, Li Ran thought for a while and slowly shook his head.

He has been in contact with Indiana for a while, so he naturally knows that he is not such a boring person.

Looking forward, Indiana explained: "Although the annual meeting is for everyone to have fun, not everyone can attend this annual meeting. Those who can receive invitations are big bosses of one party and have a lot of information, such as

….”

"For example, you can tell me something." Seeing that Indiana didn't continue, Li Ran urged anxiously.

With a chuckle, Indiana slowly said: "For example, a powerful and strange ship girl appears somewhere."

"Thank you!"

Li Ran straightened his body and looked at Indiana seriously.

Shaking his head, Indiana disagreed: "You don't have to thank me. I just wanted to give it a try. If your townhouse is really as powerful as you say, it will be a good thing for us."

"Don't worry, the real situation will only be more exaggerated than what I said." Li Ran nodded seriously, looking very serious.

"Tsk, I hope so!"

After smacking his lips, Indiana stopped talking.

More than an hour later, the car arrived at the headquarters building of the Governor's Mansion.

"This is our headquarters building. The annual meeting will be held here. You just go in and go up the stairs. I have some things to do now, so I won't accompany you." He led Li Ran and Lexington to the headquarters building.

At the entrance, Indiana introduced some basic information and left in a hurry.

Looking up at the main door, Li Ran exclaimed: "What a big door."

At this time, the Great Hall of his previous life appeared in his mind.

Just when Li Ran was amazed, from time to time, admirals would arrive at the headquarters building with secretaries, and even familiar admirals would gather together and walk through the door chatting and laughing.

Li Ran touched Lexington lightly and said, "Let's go in too."

Smiling slightly, the wife took Li Ran's arm and walked slowly towards the door.

Meow~!

When he just walked to the door, a black cat suddenly rushed out, startling Li Ran.

"What's going on? There are still cats in the headquarters building?" Li Ran looked at the direction in which the black cat disappeared, and was confused.

Tightening his arms, Lexington smiled and said, "Maybe it's a cat raised by a certain ship mother."

"makes sense."

Nodding, Li Ran didn't think about it anymore, but walked along the steps towards the inside of the building.

At the corner of the stairs, a ship girl suddenly turned out.

The visitor had long blond hair, blue pupils that were rolling around, and his expression was slightly panicked, as if he was looking for something.

After looking at the other person's hot figure, Li Ran recognized her identity through the three-color uniform he wore.

Richelieu, Battleship Girl.

"Admiral, have you seen my admiral?" Looking at Li Ran and Lexington, Richelieu nodded and asked softly.

"Your admiral?!"

Li Ran blinked and was confused.

I don't know your admiral personally, how do I know if I have met him or not?

Seeing this, Richelieu looked at Li Ran carefully and suddenly realized: "This is the first time for this admiral to attend the annual meeting."

"How do you know?" Li Ran touched the back of his head, becoming more and more confused.

Richelieu just smiled and did not answer the question, but said casually: "Sorry. I'm looking for my admiral, you can do whatever you want."

After speaking, Richelieu walked past the two of them and hurried towards the door.

After looking at each other with Lexington, Li Ran shrugged his shoulders and walked into the hall with his wife.

The arrival of the two people did not cause any disturbance. The admirals who had already arrived gathered together in twos and threes and talked and laughed. However, because it was the first time for Li Ran to attend the annual meeting, he had no acquaintances and could only sit in the corner with Lexington.

.

"Big Brother Meow is back."

At this time, a figure walked into the hall, and the admirals who were chatting immediately surrounded him.

Li Ran took a closer look and smiled.
