Chapter 644

Lanse is getting married, what is good to give as a gift?

General Miles was considering this question all night.

By reason, he does not need to take care of Lanse's mood.

He is a Navy Admiral of the federal military, the commander and general commander of this naval base; his status exceeds ninety-nine percent of the people in this country!

And Lanse?

Just an ordinary gang leader.

The gap between them is already so huge that it is difficult to describe in words; one is in the sewer, and one is above the sky!

But even with such a big gap, General Miles still decided to give some small gifts to Lanse.

First of all, Lanse is doing well; he also read the newspapers some time ago, and people say he is a "steel man with gentle feelings," which is a bit embarrassing.

Every time he thinks of this title, it makes people feel a little faintly proud; his image in the hearts of the people is different from those idiots.

Plus Lanse is very good at doing things; according to his way of doing things, without affecting the daily food of the soldiers, he can save about one million in kickbacks every month.

That's nearly ten million a year!

He also specially found someone to do a price survey; facts prove that Lanse almost did not get much profit from it, and in the audit of some menus, he might even face a loss.

A person who is willing to lose money himself, will not reduce his money, and will not wrong the food of the Navy soldiers, how can you hate him?

And there are many things that need Lanse's assistance in the future, so General Miles thought about it and finally decided to give the first watch he obtained to Lanse.

When giving gifts, you don't necessarily have to give brand-new things; you can also give others your most beloved things, which is more meaningful than going to a store to buy something to give to others!

That watch was given to him by his grandfather when he joined the army; the price is not very high, about two hundred dollars at the time, and it has been out of production for many years, costing about three thousand five hundred dollars in the second-hand market.

It is not very valuable, but the meaning is extraordinary.

Two colonels came here with gifts and General Miles's greetings; they were not convenient to stay long, so Lanse took the initiative to have a brief exchange with them outside the Saint Naye Cathedral.

"General wishes you a happy marriage; this is the first watch in his life, and he hopes this watch can let you remember every moment of your happy life!"

Lanse glanced at the watch that had signs of use but was well maintained, nodded, and put it in his hand. "A very good gift, I like it very much, and I am also very grateful for General's blessings."

"Help me thank the General; I will visit him in two days."

He said, putting the watch back into the box, then reached out and shook hands with the two colonels. "I don't know how to address you."

After the two colonels looked at each other, they felt that even if they told Lanse their names, there would be no problem, so they reported their names.

"Thank you for running a trip for me; it seems you can't stay?"

One of them nodded and said, "Yes, we have other tasks later."

Lanse turned his head and beckoned to a young man beside him, whispered in his ear, and the guy ran away quickly.

Lanse turned his head and smiled, saying, "Very happy to meet you; since you still have tasks, I won't keep you. If you have a vacation and can leave there, come to me to play anytime, anywhere. As a local of Jincheng, I will take you to appreciate its beauty."

The two agreed, and just as they were about to leave, the teenager ran back quickly; he held a document bag in his hand, which seemed to contain something.

After Lanse took the document bag, he handed it over, and at the same time took a step forward, lowering his voice a little. "Some new cigars, hope to help you pass the boring time."

"Not anything expensive or sensitive."

To avoid bad influence, he specially used a document bag.

As long as these two colonels are not stupid enough to open it actively and tell others that they received Lanse's things, then everyone will only think it contains some important documents.

Seeing that they were still hesitant, Lanse put the document bag directly into their hands and then said sincerely, "Make a friend!"

The two colonels showed smiles outside of official business, very humanized and very personalized. "Thank you."

Lanse shook hands with them to say goodbye, and the two colonels quickly turned and got into their car and left here.

In the car, one of the colonels opened the document list, looked at the bright yellow shell inside, the solid wood flat long box, and couldn't help but whistle.

He knows this brand, it costs more than one hundred dollars a box, only eight sticks.

When he opened a box to see the cigars inside, his whole person's movements stopped suddenly.

The colleague who was driving asked, "What's wrong?"

He tilted his head and glanced, then slammed on the brakes, almost causing a car accident.

Besides four cigars in the cigar box, there was also a stack of twenty-dollar denomination cash, which looked like two thousand dollars.

This is the most money they have ever received!

In the past, they also received money; some sergeants wanted to transfer posts, transfer, and promote, and also found them to pull relationships, but those people at most gave a few hundred dollars, which was considered a lot.

They have never received so much at once!

The colonel in the passenger seat opened another cigar box, also four cigars, and a stack of twenty-dollar denomination banknotes.

"They all say Mr. Lanse is very generous..." The colonel in the passenger seat took out a stack of money, used his thumb to flick along the edge; the sound of the banknotes flapping, and that smell of ink made people intoxicated!

After he squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, he said, "I didn't believe it before, now I believe it!"

Although the colonel driving the vehicle didn't say anything, it could be seen from his smiling face that he also attached great importance to the friendship with Lanse!

"He is a friend worth associating with!"

He made an evaluation of Lanse in his heart.

On the other side, after Lanse explained two sentences to the young man, he returned to the cathedral.

In the trunk of his car, there are many similar small gifts used for emergencies.

For example, a wine box containing five thousand dollars in cash and a bottle of brandy, for example, a cigarette box containing half a pack of cigarettes and four thousand dollars, for example...

Sometimes things will be very sudden, for example, you invited a friend and need to find him to do something for you, but you only prepared one gift.

But who knows he invited another very important person to come, this gift is very difficult to give.

So preparing a few more gifts in the car is a manifestation of Lanse's rich experience in another world, precipitation.

"Hey, it's not allowed to approach here now!"

Lanse turned his head; some homeless people nearby seemed to want to come over to beg for some things, and Lanse's people were driving them away.

"Let them come over." Lanse instructed; today is a good day, although he doesn't like these homeless people.

He took some change from others and threw it to those homeless people; just when he was about to go back, he suddenly noticed a familiar gaze.

He stood there, half-turned, his gaze falling on the person who was leaning on a crutch, with one leg obviously seriously twisted.

One standing, one hunched over, the two looked at each other for a moment, and Lanse turned and left.

And that lame man, looking at the banknotes scattered on the ground, did not reach out to pick them up.

He glanced at the luxurious Saint Naye Cathedral, glanced at the dignitaries gathered in the cathedral, watching them greet Lanse with smiles.

Suddenly, the lame man's whole person seemed to relax, and he silently leaned on his crutch and turned around; he just wanted to leave immediately.

Lanse shook his head and returned to the open space outside the cathedral; some people were already discussing the arrival of the two officers.

They didn't know that Lanse actually still had a certain connection with the military, and felt surprised because of this!

In fact, what they didn't know was that when they discovered their news had begun to lag significantly, they were already on the edge of the circle.

No one will remind them if they don't work hard again.

Except for the people from the Hazardous Materials Bureau who didn't arrive, people from law enforcement departments and some government departments in the whole city all came.

And those councilors, some were not invited by Lanse, but were invited by William, who is using Lanse's influence to improve his status.

Lanse glanced at William, who was standing by the cathedral door socializing with some people, and turned to walk towards Mayor Williams.

They are the guests with the most status and status today besides the military.

"You and General Miles get along well." Mayor Williams said tentatively; he seemed to know something, but in fact, he knew nothing.

He didn't even know whether there was really a friendship between Lanse and this General Miles, or if it was a superficial connection looking at the senator's side.

Lanse smiled and didn't answer, nor did he need to answer; the effect of not answering some questions is more suitable than answering.

His non-response did not cause any other emotional changes in Mayor Williams, and then he pulled the topic back to the wedding.

"Congratulations, Lanse, you have completed an important stage in life, thereby moving to the next stage."

Lanse said thank you sincerely; although Mayor Williams's experience is not very useful to him, this is someone's good intention.

Then he took the initiative to leave to receive others, and only had a moment of leisure until the ceremony began.

Accompanied by the cheerful and sweet tune of the wedding march, William took Patricia's hand and walked to Lanse's side. "Now I hand her over to you."

Lanse nodded, took Patricia's hand from his hand, and then came to the front with her.

Under the presiding of the priest, they completed the wedding again.

Large pieces of white pigeons flew into the sky amidst the blessings, seemingly wishing this pair of newlyweds a happy life in the future!
