Chapter 204

"You're so domineering; it reminds me of those domineering CEO novels I read in college!"

Li Li Xueying said.

"I never expected that you, the campus belle of Fudan, would actually read that kind of novel!"

Lin Yi smiled.

"Why wouldn't I like them? No matter which girl you ask, doesn't every one of them want to find a top-tier man who is handsome, doting, talented, and powerful?"

"Of course, I must admit this is probably just a little girl's dream."

"It's just like how you men hope to find a woman who is fair, rich, and beautiful; in reality, most women certainly don't have the luck to meet such a top-tier man!"

As she spoke, Li Li Xueying wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck and said affectionately:

"But I seem to be quite lucky to have met you; otherwise, I might have listened to my parents, returned to my hometown, and become an ordinary civil servant."

"And then ended up with some ordinary man who has a bit of money or influence."

"In that case, your luck really is quite good!"

Lin Yi remembered that when he initially picked Li Li Xueying out of a pile of resumes, it was simply because she looked pleasing to the eye.

He hadn't expected that he would eventually share so much with her.

So much so that Lin Yi now found himself unable to leave this glamorous little secretary.

(PS: This new book needs flowers, tips, and rating tickets; your support is the author's motivation!)

Thus, that afternoon, Lin Yi accompanied Li Li Xueying to a car dealership in Modu.

They went from Mercedes-Benz to BMW, and in the end, Li Li Xueying purchased a white Porsche Panamera.

Including various optional features, the final drive-away price was 1.15 million.

Lin Yi immediately transferred the funds on the spot and took possession of the car.

Naturally, there were no incidents of showing off or slapping faces during the process.

It was simply buying a car, after all.

As long as you are not dressed like a beggar,

those trained sales ladies generally will not look at you with prejudice.

As for the notion of sales ladies sleeping with customers,

it is utterly absurd; unless one is actively pursuing them,

otherwise, how much commission could a sales lady earn from a single car sale to justify sleeping with you?

In any case, after the purchase, the sales lady certainly felt envious of Li Li Xueying.

After all, Li Li Xueying herself was extremely beautiful and had a great figure.

Furthermore, her boyfriend looked just like a celebrity.

Most importantly, the moment the woman decided on the Porsche Panamera, this man did not hesitate for a second before transferring the full payment.

Tell me, facing such a young, wealthy, and handsome man,

how could the sales lady not feel envious?

Although sales ladies have no obligation to sleep with customers, this particular sales lady felt that if it were this handsome man, she would consider it.

After happily taking possession of her new car, Li Li Xueying was overjoyed.

Of course, her happiness stemmed not only from the car itself but even more from the love this man showed her.

After completing all the formalities and taking a photo to commemorate acquiring the luxury car,

Li Li Xueying drove the Porsche, bearing temporary license plates, with Lin Yi as her passenger, and left the 4S dealership.

As for the issue of lottery-based license plates in Modu,

actually, as long as one is willing to pay, the 4S dealership can handle it for you.

After driving around Modu for a joyride, Li Li Xueying asked:

"Will you spend the night at my place tonight?"

Seeing the springtime desire in her beautiful eyes, Lin Yi felt stirred, but remembering he had matters to attend to that evening, he could only shake his head and say:

"I have some business tonight, so I cannot keep you company!"

"Is that so? Then let's head back now!"

With that, Li Li Xueying stepped directly on the accelerator, and the Panamera's powerful engine delivered a strong push-back sensation.

It took about half an hour for the two of them to arrive at the apartment in Songjiang District that the company had rented for Li Li Xueying.

The moment they entered the door, clothes began flying everywhere.

At this moment, Li Li Xueying was unusually proactive, and this continued for over two hours.

Only then did she collapse, completely drained of strength.

After resting for a while, Li Li Xueying personally went into the kitchen to prepare a feast for Lin Yi.

It was not until past 9 PM

that Lin Yi left the apartment and boarded the Audi A8 that had been waiting for him downstairs.

By the time he returned to Maoming Mansion, it was already past 10 PM.

Since Syrian time is approximately five hours behind Longguo time,

it was only just past 5 PM in Syria at that moment.

The soldiers dispatched this time by the John Bull government belonged to the 3rd Division of the British Army.

The 3rd Division of the British Army is one of the earliest formed units in the British Army; since its establishment, it has participated in major conflicts including the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, the Second Boer War, World War I, and World War II, boasting a glorious combat record.

However, nowadays, this division is indeed one of only two remaining division-level units in the British Army.

The mission assigned to the 3rd Division of the British Army this time was to launch a pincer attack on the Syrian forces in Homs City from the front and rear.

For this mission, John Bull deployed 5,000 soldiers.

This unit was equipped with advanced armored vehicles such as Challenger 2 main battle tanks and Warrior infantry fighting vehicles.

It also possessed advanced aircraft including WAH-64 Apache attack helicopters and Lynx utility helicopters.

It could be said that this unit represented the most elite force within the British Army.

Regarding individual weapons, they were mainly equipped with L85 assault rifles, L86 light machine guns, AW sniper rifles, Glock 17 pistols,

and HK AG36 grenade launchers.

In comparison, the Kangaroo Nation fared much worse.

Since their weaponry and equipment were all developed by the Ugly Nation, the unit deployed to the Syrian battlefield this time was the 1st Armored Regiment of the Kangaroo Nation.

Consisting of a battalion of soldiers, they were equipped with some older M1A1 main battle tanks, a few M1A2 Abrams tanks,

and 6x6 all-terrain transport vehicles, among others.

Finally, there were the soldiers from the Stick Nation, totaling only 100 men.

They were merely sent by the Stick Nation to make up the numbers, purely to show support for their Ugly Nation father.

In themselves, they possessed virtually no combat capability.

At this moment, sitting inside a troop transport vehicle,

the Stick Nation soldier Shen Rirong looked at his companion Jiang Jiang Enbiao and asked:

"Do you think we'll be able to make it back alive?"

His words immediately made the others in the troop carrier lower their heads.

In reality, their deployment to the Syrian battlefield meant they had been completely abandoned by the Korean government.

Even if they all died, the Korean government would only put on a show; in truth, nothing would actually be done.

Their mission had effectively been completed the moment they were sent to Syria.

Whether they lived or died mattered little to Korea.

Of course, what filled Shen Rirong with hatred was that among those selected from the Korean military for the Syrian battlefield,

not a single person with powerful connections had been chosen.

Instead, it was people like them, from ordinary families, who had all been selected.

Thus, he felt immense anger and unwillingness.

Why should the descendants of those with status and position be able to avoid coming to Syria,

while commoners like them had no choice at all?

His companion, Jiang Jiang Enbiao, looked at him and said,

"Perhaps. As long as we can capture Homs City, with America's military strength, it shouldn't take long to seize the Syrian capital, Damascus."
