"Classmate Chuyang, it is an honor for me that you could come tonight. I apologize for my previous shortcomings, and I hope Brother Chu won't take offense. If you ever need anything from me in the future, please don't hesitate to ask; I will certainly oblige." Law Wu's words were filled with enthusiasm, a true reflection of his merchant background.
There was no way around it; he had overlooked Chuyang when preparing the invitation. It wasn't out of disdain but rather a belief that Chuyang wouldn't fit into their circle in the future. Inviting him without the presence of Fleet Girls might have made Chuyang feel uncomfortable.
However, everything changed once Chuyang acquired Fleet Girls. Although Law Wu sent Ye Zhengyang to personally deliver the invitation the next day, this action could easily lead to misunderstandings. Previously not sending an invitation and now doing so might make Chuyang think they looked down on him. But not sending one was not an option either; with so many classmates watching, if Chuyang were absent from the 17th cohort's graduation reunion, it would raise eyebrows among others. Thus, Law Wu was quite worried that if Chuyang didn't show up at the gathering, it would create a lasting rift.
Merchants value harmony above all else, and since his family was involved in maritime trade, any trouble caused by Chuyang within his jurisdiction could significantly impact his family's business.
Therefore, before the banquet began, he was filled with anxiety, fearing that Chuyang might not attend. It wasn't until he received a notification from the welcoming Fleet Girls at the entrance of the banquet hall that the guest he had specifically asked them to keep an eye on had arrived that Law Wu finally felt relieved. However, he still worried that Chuyang might hold a grudge. So right after announcing the start of the banquet, Law Wu headed straight for Chuyang.
"Brother Luo is too polite. Upon receiving your invitation, I felt it necessary to attend this gathering of classmates. After this event, we will all go our separate ways, and opportunities for us to meet again will be rare; how could I possibly not come?" Chuyang replied courteously.
Law Wu's sincerity was difficult for Chuyang to gauge; he didn't want to delve into whether it was genuine or feigned. After all, they were classmates, and there was no need to treat each other like enemies. Besides, Law Wu's heartfelt words gave him enough face; there was no reason for him to nitpick over such matters as it would only make him seem petty.
While Chuyang wasn't exactly a person of great virtue who reciprocated kindness in equal measure, he also wasn't someone who would seek revenge for every slight. At the very least, he believed in treating others as they treated him.
"Brother Chu, who is this?" Law Wu glanced at Lexington before shifting his gaze back to Chuyang.
Before the banquet started, he had been discussing the detailed process of the event with hotel staff in a nearby room and was unaware of what had just transpired in the banquet hall; thus, he did not know Lexington's identity.
As for Firefly and Andrea Doria, after the banquet commenced, Firefly had dragged Andrea Doria off to eat something, leaving only Lexington by Chuyang's side.
"Fatty Luo, let me introduce you. This is my brother Chuyang's Wedding Ship." Before Chuyang could speak, Ye Zhengyang proudly introduced, "Old World, United States Navy, Lexington-Class Aircraft Carrier, Lexington. Fatty, just call her sister-in-law like I do."
"Sister-in-law..." The voice abruptly stopped, and Fatty's mouth dropped open in surprise. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Hello, sister-in-law. I wish you and Brother Chu a happy marriage, a hundred years of harmony, growing old together, and early blessings with children..."
As a businessman, he was quite eloquent with a string of blessings.
Meanwhile, Law Wu was internally crumbling. If one were to speak frankly, he was a complete Chieftain himself. Fortunately, his family was wealthy; otherwise, he would be even more regretful than Chuyang. Before entering Rongcheng Naval Academy, his family spent a lot of money and connections to cultivate him into an Admiral, exhausting countless resources. Law Wu spent three years intermittently at a Shipyard constructing over twenty ships but never delivered a single one. His only Destroyer Girl was produced during his first construction after entering the academy. Based on current data and probabilities, his luck was far worse than Chuyang's.
Due to his overweight condition, Law Wu desperately wanted to find a girl who genuinely liked him rather than a gold digger attracted to his family's wealth. Unfortunately, he had yet to meet such a girl. Well, there was one—his only Destroyer Girl—but she was a Loli. Her affection for Law Wu wasn't romantic but rather the normal relationship between an Admiral and Fleet Girls. Besides, he wasn't a pervert; how could he possibly pursue a little girl? This led to his deep obsession with Sister Shipgirls because he was looking for a wife.
As for Lexington, she was the beloved chosen by all Admirals at the first Kanmusu Conference, dominating her competitors with overwhelming popularity and firmly securing her position as the top Wedding Ship. Thus, Law Wu had countless fantasies about Lexington and envied Chuyang intensely.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, it wouldn't change anything; this African would have to return to the savannah for hunting!
After greeting Chuyang, Law Wu turned to entertain other classmates and nearly shed tears as he did so.
"Chuyang classmate, hello! I am from Class One..."
"Chuyang classmate, I am from Class Four..."
...
After Law Wu left, a wave of classmates approached Chuyang to chat. In some ways, one could say these classmates were opportunistic since most approached him because of Lexington.
The name "Lexington" does not only represent rarity; it also signifies strength. For the African Admiral, who cannot even see large ships, perhaps one day they will need the help of Lexington and the Fleet Girls from Chuyang, even to save themselves and their Fleet Girls from danger. Therefore, they all want to leave a good impression in front of Chuyang and establish a good relationship, so that when the time comes to seek help from Chuyang, it will be smoother.
Inside the hotel, Chuyang became the center of attention because of Lexington. Meanwhile, in a certain location on the Southwest Coast, a woman dressed in Red Church attire with long golden hair looked at another woman with flaxen hair across from her and said, "Lexington, what are you doing here? Were you abandoned by the Admiral as well?"
"I'm sorry, but I think you might have mistaken me for someone else," the flaxen-haired woman replied, pointing to a symbol made up of numbers and letters on her black clothing. "I only resemble her; we are not the same person."
