Chapter 169: The Major's Dial
"Ye Mo, let's talk!"
Finally got through the long meeting, Ye Mo dragged his tired body and just went back to live with Lin Fei in the two-person world, but he heard Li Xiong's voice behind him.
Ye Mo was stunned, the major had never talked to him alone, what did he want to do today?
I couldn't figure it out, but I still said hello to Lin Fei and said I'd go back later.
"Major, what's the matter?" He asked.
Li Xiong smiled and did not summon to speak, but waited for the others to leave. It wasn't until there were only the two of them in the conference room that Li Xiong walked up to Ye Mo and said, "Let's go, drink two drinks with me!" ”
Ye Mo was speechless, how old am I, and I don't have the habit of drinking too much in my twenties.
Seeing that he didn't move, Li Xiong said angrily: "Don't worry, I won't get you drunk!" ”
Hearing him say this, Ye Mo nodded and agreed.
Out of the conference room, I came to the largest and most luxurious dormitory in the base, which has everything, two bedrooms and two living rooms, a complete kitchen and bathroom, all kinds of mahogany furniture are neatly placed, and the ground is also clean, as if someone is cleaning it every day.
"Look at your surprise, my room is not as comfortable as your cabin!" Li Xiong seemed to know his thoughts, and as he spoke, he took out a few bottles of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the coffee table, and then brought some appetizers, peanuts, duck neck, bacon, and so on.
Ye Mo smelled the aroma, couldn't help but move his index finger, and praised: "It is worthy of being a major, and you have a good life!" ”
Li Xiong smiled, this kind of day is good in the base, but it is nothing in Pengcheng, he is a major anyway, and he eats some side dishes on weekdays, which is also enviable, which shows how boring life in the army is.
"How much do you drink?" Li Xiong opened a bottle of wine for him.
"In general, I don't really like to drink, I think Coke is a little better. The same are sparkling drinks that smell better and taste sweeter. Ye Mo took a sip and said.
He was telling the truth, drinking with the guards only once at the base as he left the farm. But today there is no refusal, and there are naturally two reasons. This first, the major who invited him to drink, his direct boss, did not drink too much to give face. This second, he sensed that the major was in a bad mood today, and wanted to talk to him, after all, the major was kind to him.
"This is the opinion of you young people, and when you are middle-aged, you still think that wine tastes better." Li Xiong took a big sip, half a bottle of belly, the cold feeling was much more refreshing, and his face was much better.
Ye Mo looked up, he had been away for so long, and he found that Li Xiong had a lot of white hair scattered on his head, and there were also a lot of wrinkles on his forehead, only to remember that he was in his forties, and he had a lot to worry about the base, and he was definitely not happy to be seized of power today.
"Major, I respect you and thank you for your hard work for the base!" Ye Mo held the wine bottle, touched it with Li Xiong, and then drank it in a big gulp, and drank it in one gulp. But I drank in a hurry, choked a few times, and my face was a little red.
"You kid still have some conscience, it's not in vain that I fancy you!" Li Xiong was a little excited, and he also drank the wine in the bottle. However, he drank much better, and there was no embarrassment after drinking.
The two finished a round of drinking and began to eat. Ye Mo tasted the duck neck and found that the taste was extremely spicy, and it was best served with wine. Peanuts are very crispy, peanuts are very fragrant, and they are all good dishes to accompany wine. Occasionally, it's quite comfortable.
Li Xiong was in a bad mood, not to mention the loss of power, and all the subordinates familiar with the base were eliminated and became the commander of the light pole. When he saw Ye Mo, he wanted to find him to drink and relieve his pressure. When the two first talked, Li Xiong was reminiscing about the base, he was young and vigorous when he first came, he was excited when he was promoted, and he was inextricable when he sat in the head of the base.
But all of this is gone.
"Ye Mo, why did I provide you with Araki Divine Skill? It's not that you have a fancy for the relationship between you and Gong Shu, and you want to use the strength of her family to climb up ......" Li Xiong smiled, but the smile was self-deprecating.
Ye Mo wanted to ask him why this was the case and what Gong Shu had to do with it, but it was inappropriate to talk about this at this time, so it was just that.
"Ye Mo, I'm optimistic about you!" Li Xiong had already placed a number of wine bottles in front of him, but his interest was getting higher and higher, and the topic gradually turned to Ye Mo, "You are young, but you don't have the pride and complacency of others, and you have the potential to achieve great things." The ability is good, there is an advantage in fighting zombies, and if you adapt to the onset of the times, you will definitely have great achievements in the future! ”
Hearing Li Xiong praise himself so much, Ye Mo felt flattered. He heard Li Xiong's words from the heart, not drunken nonsense. Any young person is quite happy to be appreciated by the leader, and Ye Mo is not surprised.
However, he was not modest, smiled calmly, and admitted that the major was right.
"Haha, this is the young people of the times, self-confidence!" Li Xiong smiled, drank with his confidence, and drank a bottle happily.
Ye Mo drank less, and always felt that the taste of beer was very strange, but now he only drank more than two bottles, while Li Xiong already had as many as twelve bottles.
"But then again, do you have any plans for the future?" Li Xiong asked suddenly, his tone quite stern.
Ye Mo was stunned, he hadn't even thought about this question. He just thought of going down the path of cultivation and controlling plants, but it was about strength, and what Li Xiong asked was obviously professional, which he hadn't thought about carefully.
Ye Mo shook his head, indicating that he hadn't thought about it.
"This is normal, I was still in the military academy when you were so young, how do you know what I will do in the future." Li Xiong comforted, in fact, what he didn't tell Ye Mo was that when he went to the military academy, his family had already paved the way for him, and whether his grades were good or not, he could go to the Pengcheng base as a second lieutenant, and he could get mixed up with the boss of the base slowly.
"Money, beauty, career, it's the dream of all men. You have a lot of money now, and that's a success. Lin Fei is your girlfriend, and Gong Shu is quite good with you, which is also successful. But what about the career, haven't you thought about being a general, a marshal, a minister of defense, a president? Li Xiong asked sharply.
Checkmate? Marshal? Defense secretary? President? Ye Mo couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic when he heard this, and subconsciously said, "I think!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask: "I was born poor, can I get into the position of president?" ”
Li Xiong slowly drank the wine in the bottle, calmed down, and said, "Why not?" The president is elected, and it is the choice of the people. In the past, you didn't have much political capital, and there was definitely no hope. But think about it, after every chaos, which of the country's leaders does not hold military power? ”
Ye Mo nodded, he also thought of a sentence, power came out of the barrel of a gun. But he never thought it had anything to do with him. He thinks a lot, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, a man must have a dream, a pirate who doesn't want to be a pirate is not a good pirate, etc.
"Good!" Ye Mo thought silently in his heart, setting the lowest life goal for himself, which was to be a general. As for the highest goal, that can only be seen as you go.
Ye Mo didn't tell the major about his decision, he obviously drank more and more, who knows if he will remember today's shocking words when he sleeps?
