Bai Yulan took a cigarette carefully and seriously again, her peaceful face hidden by her black hair did not change because of Lan Xiaolong's abrupt question, she said softly, "The task assigned by the ministry to the seven groups was originally only three Day preparation time. In the morning, the boss made a phone call to the Xishan compound and quarreled angrily over the phone, turning three days into ten days.”
"The ministry wants to give him face, and I stabbed him to make him more efficient in the ten days he fought to get his face back. If the children of these big people really die under the boss's hands, even if Philly and the secretary want to protect him and there are too many problems."
Lan Xiaolong looked at him and continued to insist on the previous question: "Why do you want to work for him?"
Magnolia gently pressed the cigarette butt against the wall and wiped a deep black mark.
"In that year, the new mecha failed, and President Seagal was furious. The Charter Bureau began to investigate the private work that the fruit shell had done. The seven groups were thrown out by some big people as scapegoats. In order to protect Xiong Linquan and these guys, you carried everything by yourself. He was sent to a military court, and in the end, although he got away with it, he was permanently expelled from the army."
"From that day on, you gave up smoking and swore that you would never smoke a single one again, saying that you would be healthy and live a long, long life."
Lan Xiaolong looked down at the cigarette butt in his fingers and said, "But since you started dating Xu Le, you started smoking again. We know your character very well and know what it means to break your vow... Before leaving the capital star circle , Ning He specifically asked me once, and I always feel that your current temperament has become a little too calm and indifferent, with some signs of madness."
It was after the wedding of that officer named Ning He that Xu Le stabbed Magnolia in the back on the street. Thinking of those times, Magnolia's slender eyes narrowed, and she seemed to be able to feel her back. those pains.
After a moment of silence, he said softly: "In the past six months, you have brainwashed my seven groups of people every day, and you can't wait to make the guys like Daxiong Jiaozi worship the boss to the core, and make them have the urge to sleep with the boss's thigh... The Ministry of Defense sent Don't you come here because you want you to help him gather seven groups first, and then slowly gather seventeen divisions? Since your mission is to hand the lives of many people into the hands of the boss, what's the problem with me selling my life? "
After receiving a positive answer, Lan Xiaolong, who used to be sarcastic in his literary and sarcastic tone, had a condensed expression, and a trace of unease and worry gradually appeared in his eyes, but his words were still as acerbic.
"The genius supervisor of our family is bound to become a big man. The Lord of the Army and the Ministry of Defense have been paving the way for him this year. I am the coolie who sprinkled cement. The problem is that any decision must be measured."
"The guy who is the bottom of the material... If he is too determined to give his life, he will only turn into countless crushed stones in the future, embedded in cement, and paved on his golden road. When he stepped on the road in his shiny military boots, the road was smooth. Straight, where can I still think of the broken stones under my feet."
Bai Yulan lowered her head, leaned against the wall, let go of the cigarette butt with her fingers, bent her right leg against the wall, and answered quickly and directly: "I joined the army when I was young, and I have killed many people and seen many things in my life. Assassinating Bermuda businessmen for the government, smuggling for those sons and brothers in the military region, robbing pirate ships, I have done a lot of unfortunate things in my life. sharp."
He continued: "The seventh group has always been the most arrogant and tough fighting group in the nut shell. As the combat director, I did some glorious and shameful things for the government while doing some dark things to earn money. Very happy."
"However, after I started to be Xu Le's secretary, I gradually realized that this kind of life is the most pleasant. The year when I went back and forth between the capital and Hong Kong was the most relaxed and comfortable in my life. day."
Magnolia raised her head and used her slender fingers to lift the black strands of hair in front of her eyes, her soft and peaceful face was full of relaxed smiles.
"I thought that following Xu Le was just a business to make money, but after his accident, I suddenly found that my life was very unpleasant, and I was even more surprised that a cold-blooded animal like myself could produce that kind of unhappiness and anxiety... Maybe it's because This young guy, inexplicably gave me some trust that I didn't even hope for?"
Magnolia squinted like Xu Le, looked at the old soldiers running in embarrassment on the playground, shrugged her shoulders like Lan Xiaolong, and said, "Ning He stabbed me on the wedding day, and I feel more comfortable. , it's not cheap, it's just knowing that it's possible to go back to those easy days."
He looked at Lan Xiaolong, and said softly but firmly: "Working with Xu Le, there is a sense of down-to-earth power, a sense of pride that the spine can be straight forever, and you are not afraid of being poked by others."
"The things we have done are not dangerous, paradoxical, or arrogant, but very hard, as hard as steel, not afraid of people's words, not afraid of asking ourselves, and we can report ourselves to the parents lying in the hospital with a straight chest. The results of our work, and if possible in the future, we can look back proudly with our children in our old age.”
"There is no one person or thing that is always right, but it feels good to follow Xu Le to do what seems right to me."
Lan Xiaolong listened silently, understanding what Bai Yulan was talking about in her soft-spoken emotion at the moment, but she felt more and more that Ning He's worries were justified - Bai Yulan did not worship Xu Le, but there was a kind of feeling. A lunatic sinking into the euphoria is quite dangerous.
"Did you know? On the day Medellin died, I was on the mountain outside the foundation building." A sharp hint flashed in Bai Yulan's delicate eyes, and she said softly, "I had a strong urge at the time, To go crazy with him, in fact, I was ready to go crazy."
Lan Xiaolong's face changed drastically, and some couldn't believe what his friend said at the moment.
"Unfortunately, I got a call on the mountain."
Bai Yulan said slightly, a middle-aged woman's not surprising, but majestic face appeared in his mind, and then he calmly raised his head higher and said, "So I didn't become crazy that day, and I didn't have a good time. , Now I have a rare second chance with Xu Le, the little boss, and I don't want to miss it again."
Lan Xiaolong sighed softly and stopped trying to convince anything.
Magnolia smiled and patted his shoulder, and said, "Like the boss, I'm a small person struggling from the bottom of the society. As George Carlin said, we have a natural revolutionary nature. To rectify the sons of these big people, we will take care of them from the heart. There will be some kind of pleasure... Your family background is different from ours, and naturally you can't understand it."
After finishing the rare long psychological analysis, the delicate man put his hands back in his trouser pockets, the smile on his face faded, and the weak girl bowed her head and walked towards the old soldiers on the playground.
Lan Xiaolong looked at the back, thinking about the countless dead souls under this friend's delicate knife and the gloomy means hidden in his body, he couldn't help turning his shrug into a trembling, very sympathetic to the children of the wealthy family of the congressman and governor. .
It must be admitted that as a personal secretary who never made a bed or quilt, but spent a long time drinking tea and delivering water, Magnolia had an extremely accurate grasp of Xu Le's intentions. In the following days, the more than 100 old soldiers from the capital star circle were treated extremely miserably by Bai Yulan, Xiong Linquan and others. From day to night, the remote and quiet military camp in Xilin was filled with howls, crying, screams of collapse, and even more collapsed sounds of fear and begging for mercy.
Running with weight, running with weight, shooting and running with weight, whipping and kicking, drugs and obviously illegal black market stimulants, blood and snot on tattered military uniforms, bruising and festering skin and gravel constantly rubbing, people fall from time to time , Some people were so weak that they vomited bile, and the sun and bright moon in Xilin witnessed countless tragic scenes.
The medic Hou Xiandong looked at the hemostatic tapes and dozens of empty adhesive bottles stacked in the room, and at the few soldiers who fell into a coma in the treatment cabin. Even though he was a professional and calm military doctor, he couldn't help but feel a chill. , but their leader, the talented, but calm, kind and optimistic director Xu Le of the seven team members, has been condoning these things.
However, what is inconsistent with George Carlin's statement stated by Magnolia is that Xu Le did not have any subtle pleasure in the torture process of the soldiers of the Seventeenth Division. He was just doing things according to some strict engineering logic, and he was busy. He doesn't have the extra time and mood to enjoy the sadistic spiritual world.
Under the white energy-saving lighting, Xu Le closed his eyes and mobilized the structural drawings stored in his mind. After thinking for a while, he slowly opened his eyes and sent the completed email to Shang Qiu, who was hundreds of millions of miles away. .
Miniaturizing a turbo system into a mech is extremely difficult. Cheng Fengshi proposed a whimsical design concept. After the more talented Shang Qiu obtained these materials, he immediately wiped out the hydrogen fuel foundation in the original design. a big breakthrough.
In recent days, Xu Le has maintained high-density email contact with colleagues in the Nutshell Engineering Department, mainly because he is eager to make his own contribution to overcoming the blade inhalation interference link in the design before he goes to the front line.
Standing by the window, he rubbed his eyes and silently looked at the old soldiers who were lingering like sick dogs in the moonlight on the playground, knowing that these guys were about to be tortured to the brink of despair and collapse.
To his relief, under such severe training, none of the more than 100 soldiers tried to use self-mutilation to escape anything. Maybe it's because these sons and buddies don't have the courage to self-harm? He looked at the subordinates who were extremely weak, and saw their eyes that were getting brighter and brighter, filled with some kind of hatred and hatred, and felt more satisfied in his heart.
At this moment, the phone rang, Xu Le picked up the phone and listened quietly, his expression gradually became solemn, the endless pressure from the upper levels of the capital star circle... finally arrived.
