Overall, the roast tasted good. However, the main reason is not the skill of cooking, but the ingredients. Although it seems to be a very simple and civilian barbecue feast, the ingredients are also the most common beef, mutton, fish, chicken, etc., but they are all very rare top ingredients.

Although Mr. Chairman boasted his craftsmanship to the sky, in Yu Lian's opinion, it was the average level of a roadside barbecue restaurant, compared with his uncle.

Of course, if Mr. Chairman of the Committee fails to become an official in the future and goes bankrupt, it should be no problem to at least feed the family by relying on this barbecue skill.

With the barbecue and side dishes that tasted above the average, Yu Lian drank two more beers with the chairman. Afterwards, the other party took Yu Lian to walk around the beach, said hello to the other visitors, and got to know each other.

Just as Yu Lian guessed, most of the 20 or so people who came here, in addition to their families, are indeed important young Zhuang figures in politics and business, and they are also the core figures of the small faction controlled by Mr. Chairman.

Among them, there are two people who impressed Yu Lian the most.

One is Rep. Edward Shauner, who is only 38 years old this year, a police officer born and a well-known detective back then. If memory serves, this gentleman later served as president of a caretaker government and also formed a government in exile. It's kind of a character.

The other is Mr. Whitaker, the executive director of the Blue Label Group, who is 42 years old this year. In terms of his position and the power he holds, he can also be regarded as a young man. However, this business tycoon was very polite and pragmatic, and even asked very seriously about the current situation of the red maple factory. He said frankly that Blue Label Group is going to be responsible for the expansion of three large space stations in the Far Shore Star Zone, and at the same time to help Deep Space Mining Group build a new orbital mining plant and refinery, which will require the procurement of building materials nearby. In this way, of course, the red maple factory has also become one of their inspection objects.

Yu Lian suddenly remembered that the last time he dealt with Lieutenant General Minchi Vincent, the "Nichta Prison" was triggered, and it seemed that a big man in the blue mark had also been involved. With a careful operation, the chairman's sworn friend could have completed control of the Blue Label Group, the largest industrial complex in the community.

However, according to the Whitaker director, their subsequent business plan was quite a bit of a military build-up. Thinking of this, Yu Lian couldn't help but sneak a glance at Mr. Chairman.

Is this Blue Label's own plan? Or is it the will of Nichta?

Of course, to Yu Lian's little surprise, how many academics were among the guests present? They are also quite accomplished young scholars. That is to say? Major General Mallovin came to the banquet entirely as a scholar, with her rank of major general? The commander of the Blue Guard has nothing to do with it.

…… Do you think I believe it or not? Yu Lian rolled his eyes in his heart.

Is Keith Nichta really a clean guy? Soon ended this process, and took Yu Lian back to the house again? Introduced him to his family.

The chairman has a ten-year-old daughter and a six-year-old son, both of whom are well educated? There is no arrogance and arrogance of the birth of famous nobles. The eldest daughter treats people very well? Polite and completely a serious little adult.。 The youngest son is very smart, innocent and lively, and is very curious about Yu Lian, a hero, but also pays attention to proportion? Obviously in the stage of pleasing dogs? Not only is it not a bear at all, but it is also quite cute.

This pair of siblings from the Nichta family easily reminds Yu Lian of the Penny and George he has seen in the New Jade Gate, the gentle and virtuous sister and the lively and lovely younger brother.

However, I don't know if it's a preconceived reason, but he's a little awkward? I always feel that these two children are too much in line with the public's expectations of the so-called "perfect family". So, could it be that parents also intentionally cultivate? Or is it distorted?

Isn't that a vicious idea, and a little unfair to these two kids? Yu Lian could only apologize to them in his heart, and then presented the small gift he brought.

A string of red agate pendants for the eldest daughter? What was given to the youngest son was a short knife of Bimu without a sharp edge? All of them are local products of Lumina.

As for giving it to the chairman's wife? Melali Gredron Nichta's is a relatively well-preserved stone sculpture taken from the ancient city of Thurau.

Mr. Chairman is a hobbyist of hunting, while Mrs. Chairman is an amateur cosmic folklore scholar and collector. You see, how much in line with the hobbies of elite families.

"Oh, you're so kind, kid. It's coming, what else do you bring? Mrs. Melali complained, but she accepted the gift sincerely, and she looked exactly like an amiable and beautiful neighbor aunt.

Having said that, seeing the corners of people's eyes smiling, I was obviously quite satisfied.

Yu Lian was very grateful to Lilia and Zhixia, because except for the iron spine dragon skull given to the chairman, the other gifts were picked by themselves. Now it turns out that the girls' tastes are really good.

However, Yu Lian felt that if she had a little high-quality zero element, especially one that could be used for her star ring upgrade, the chairman and his wife might really regard themselves as their half-brothers.

However, she is also the wife of the dignified chairman of the National Defense Commission, and the daughter of the alliance chaebol Gregor's family, so there should be no shortage of upgrade materials.

Lady Melali, though a psychic, does not seem to have any interest in the occult aspect, and has put herself in the position of a virtuous helper. She chatted hastily with Yu Lian, and then left with the children, leaving the small living room to the two men.

When the chairman saw that his wife had gone to the beach, he tiptoed out a bottle of crimson blood rock wine and a box of cigars from the cupboard on one side.

"I only have a little bit of addiction when Mrs. Zeng is away. Got one? The chairman laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yu Lian recognized that it was the Ebonstone Scepter, the top cigar in the whole galaxy, compared to his favorite Green Court Bay torpedo, it was completely a Bugatti Veyron compared to a BMW Mercedes driven by the nouveau riche.

The real superiors, their extravagance is hidden in their bones, ordinary people can't find it, and they think that the other party is very close to the people.

Yu Lian was naturally envious and jealous, and took a point unceremoniously with jealousy. You must know that in order to take the mass line, he usually smokes ten yuan a box of old knives.

The chairman and Yu Lian were sipping high-end spirits while swallowing clouds and mist, really like close friends, and then, it was time to start getting down to business.

"Don't worry too much about what some people in Congress are saying. They knew nothing about the hardships and heroes of Marshal Lee, and they knew nothing about this heroic army that Marshal Lee had built single-handedly, but they only remembered the era of imperial rule. After all, in those days, they could be a jazz no matter what. Speaking of which, they can also claim to be the nobles of the empire and let the ordinary people bow down to them. However, ordinary people are good people, but they are not bad people! ”

The chairman of the committee said a joke, and then said solemnly: "The longer our country exists, the closer their existence will be to a joke." The dregs destined to be eliminated by history should not be hindered by heroes. “

"However, we may still be too impulsive, and we are really causing trouble for you, and Marshal Perris." Yu Lian expressed his deep apologies to the chairman of the committee with three points of sincerity, three points of gratitude, three points of fear, and finally a point of annoyance.

Anyway, isn't it just acting, what's the big deal? Teacher Li also wrote about "the beacon of human civilization" and something like that.

To be mature, to have emotional intelligence. The current Mr. Keith Nichta is a respectable and trustworthy leader...... Big brother!

"Hahaha, what's the trouble, isn't that my job? It is the duty of our National Defense Committee to ensure that you do not shed tears on the front lines. Nishita waved his hand and said, "The Empire has done so much in the Far Shore Nebula, and they have compared the dark knife to the neck, and those fools still think that this is not a dangerous act. Since the beginning of the empire, when will it do useless work? ”

"That's why it's necessary to strengthen the defense line of the Far Shore Nebula. Xia Guan estimated that even with the national strength of the empire, if they wanted to complete such a fortress in the nebula, the country would inevitably hesitate, and even if they could afford to spend money, it would take time. That's enough for us to close the holes in our defenses. ”

"I have read the proposal that Marshal Perris has delivered to Congress, and it has been passed by the National Defense Committee with great insight. The next step is the parliament, and I don't think it's a big problem. I heard that this plan to strengthen the defense line was also drawn up by you? ”

"It's just that people are on the front line and know more about the situation. Therefore, it is really impossible to provide His Excellency the Marshal and the Military Command Headquarters with some first-hand information. If there is any contribution, it is a bit of hard work to run errands. Yu Lian smiled.

The chairman shook his head and said with a straight face: "Don't talk to me in such a veteran oily tone, it's not your nature." Captain Yu Lian, isn't a young man like you, a young man like you a genius, more energetic and bloody? ”

It seems that more than one person has said something like this to me, but you alone make me feel wrong.

Yu Lian decided to be good, so he changed his tone: "Oh, no matter how you say it, Xia Guan has just destroyed the Ten Thousand Souls Sect and the rebels, restored peace in the Runa system, and easily demolished an imperial fortress, killed a marquis and a lieutenant general, grabbed two good ships, and captured the most advanced experimental weapons in the empire." Why should I be promoted and paid a medal! As a result, the princes in the court directly began to be surprised. Your Excellency ......"

"In private, you can call me Brother Kai." The chairman wiped his hair and grinned, his teeth glowing.

Who wants to call you brother! Why am I going to spit on you right now, believe it or not? Believe it or not?

"Mr. Case, if it were me, I would have chopped up the legislators who were forcing Lai Lai to feed the edelweiss. How long are you going to put up with them? ”

A clear smile suddenly appeared in the eyes of Mr. Chairman, but he still said with a straight face: "This is bastard." One of the foundations of the founding of the country handed over to us by Marshal Li and our independent ancestors was to learn to listen to and respect the opinions of others. Don't always try to destroy each other physically. You are a soldier of a glorious democracy, not an imperial nobleman, and do not say such arrogant things on any occasion in the future. ”

He paused, but then came out of the drawer beside him, and when he opened it, it was a badge of silver fig leaves trimmed with gold trim, but it was the collar of the rank of major.

"You deserve it, I've got it ready for you." Mr. Chairman smiled heartily again, as if a mouthful of white teeth were reflecting.
