Chapter 254: Breakfast
Is it a real power, or just a virtual job of drawing drawings and submitting documents, don't be in a hurry to ask, you will know later.
The big truck drove all the way to the door, until Charles called it a halt. When I got out of the car, I saw a group of soldiers in full gear and desert camouflage uniforms walking out.
Charles shouted and asked where to go.
A man who looked like a head came over and saluted very casually, saying that he was going to dig up "people".
"Digging people?" Charles, puzzled.
"These things, at dawn, go into the ground. The man saluted slightly, quickened his pace, and followed the procession.
"Going underground?" said Charles, looking at the group.
He Ningyan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he understood the meaning of the words: the sun brings light.
Charles walked into the building, and from time to time there were civilians coming and going, holding various documents, and nodding slightly at Charles even if he was in a hurry.
Lyle raised his eyebrows at this, with a bit of banter: "A technical officer with an empty title?"
The corners of Charles's mouth curled slightly, and he didn't answer, just walked inside.
Halfway through, Charles raised his hand and a staff member walked over.
"Lieutenant Colonel. The staff member, dressed in a troop skirt suit and with his hair in a bun, looked left and right at the unfamiliar face beside Charles with some confusion.
Charles spoke in a commanding tone: "Take them to breakfast." ”
"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel. The staff responded.
Ed immediately had a happy face, it seemed that he had picked up a treasure, and now he didn't have to worry about food, clothing and safety.
"What about you, lieutenant colonel?" He Ningyan asked, deliberately accentuating the word lieutenant colonel, which seemed prominent and respectful.
Charles looked at her, "I'll be here later." ”
It may come after a while, or it may not be seen. If you can meet someone with real power, that's luck, and you can't just watch luck go.
"I don't like to wait unless there's something important. He Ningyan used a very ordinary tone, and the implication was to follow. Then he paraphrased what Charles had just said to the staff: "Please take this gentleman to dinner first, and we'll come later, thank you." ”
The staff turned their gaze to Charles for advice. After Charles nodded, he immediately led the happy Ed to breakfast.
"Let's go. Charles continued inside.
Ed went to breakfast without looking back, really sad for him, but he didn't know that he reduced his chances of survival by more than a little bit for a breakfast. When it gets dark.,When the monster reappears.,Will you follow the crowd.,Or follow the male owner for safety?
I walked into an office, which was separate, and like many military offices, neat and deep. I don't know why I always like to use dark tones, while large offices always use monochromes.
Charles pressed the phone: "Please tell the colonel, I'll come over in fifteen minutes, help me deliver four breakfasts in five minutes,"
Then he walked to a cabinet and opened the door, which turned out to be a wardrobe, in which shirts and military uniforms were placed. He began to unbutton his short-sleeved shirt: "Ma'am, can you avoid it?"
He Ningyan turned around and turned his back: "Can I take this opportunity to visit your office?" and Lyle and Bill, even if they were men, also turned around.
Charles, of course, would politely say, "Feel free." ”
If nothing else, look at the office desktop first, people in this country, from top to bottom, like to put pictures of family members or lovers on the desk. Sure enough, there was a group photo on the desktop, not a family photo. Above is a man in his fifties in a military uniform, and Charles in a uniform dress who looks like he has just come of age.
She picked up the photo, and Lyle whispered, "Major General." ”
He Ningyan asked, "Is it your father?"
"Yes. Charles's voice came from behind, inadvertently revealing a slightly strange feeling: "He died five years ago, and he died in an accident shortly after I graduated from military school. ”
There was a pause: "He's a hero." ”
No wonder he became a lieutenant colonel at a young age, most of them are second lieutenants at this age, and those who can become lieutenant colonels are all exchanged for blood and life. Either rescued the kidnapped cabinet of the country, or captured or killed terrorist leaders alive abroad.
Of course, it doesn't mean that Charles relies on his heroic father, and his own efforts are inseparable, otherwise, even if his dead father is a general, he himself is a fool, and he eats a mess, and he uses time to wait for promotion, and after waiting for twenty or thirty years, he can basically become a lieutenant colonel.
He Ningyan gently put down the photo and placed it in its original position: "At least he saw you graduate, that day should be his happiest day, no less than when you were born." ”
There was a faint sadness in the air, and it took Charles a while to respond: "Yes." ”
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and it seemed that his clothes had been changed.
He Ningyan and his companions turned around and looked at it, and were stunned for a moment, in the end, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. When this uniform is worn on the body, the person immediately changes. In addition, Charles is young, has a good figure, and is extremely heroic.
Bill immediately whistled and grimaced.
"Handsome indeed. Lyle also looked up and down: "You should wear this when you go to town, it is guaranteed to charm all the girls." ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and after getting Charles's permission, two staff members in skirt suits, each with a dinner plate, put breakfast on the coffee table next to it and left.
Looking at these two well-dressed military beauties, Bill hugged his arms and shook his head: "I don't think you need to go to the town, the military beauties here have been almost fascinated by him." ”
Charles only smiled wryly.
"You two are getting more and more unruly. She scolded with a smile, and then apologized to Charles: "I'm sorry Lieutenant Colonel, they like to joke, and they usually use me as a laughing stock, don't be weird." But they joke and tell the truth. ”
Both Lyle and Bill looked at Charles's military uniform and nodded seriously.
This amused Charles and laughed, after all, he was only in his twenties.
"Let's have breakfast first. Charles walked over to the couch and sat down, picked up a breakfast and began to eat.
So they also went over and sat down to eat. There was a large sofa and two small sofas, which seemed to sit down very casually, Charles sat on the big sofa, Bill sat next to Charles, and He Ningyan and Lyle sat on the small sofa.
Lyle glared at Bill, who blinked quickly, picked up a breakfast with a smile on his lips and began to eat it, looking like he couldn't see it anymore.
He Ningyan picked up a breakfast, which was a sandwich of ham, eggs, and lettuce.
"Didn't take coffee. Charles said with a little dissatisfaction and a little apology: "Maybe a little dry." ”
Lyle took out a bottle of water from his backpack, unscrewed it, handed it to He Ningyan, and asked Charles, "Do you want water?"
"Okay. Charles ate very quickly, finishing the sandwich in a few bites.
Taking the water, Charles took a sip and asked after a slight pause, "You already know who I am, but I don't know you yet... ”
