Chapter 746: A Heart Like Gold

In the courtyard of Lanse's big mansion, the chefs from the best restaurant in Manton have already started cooking dinner.

They don't know who this meal is for, and they don't know who will sit at the dining table to enjoy the food they make.

They don't care about these things at all, nor are they keen on them.

This kind of thing has happened many times to them. As the best restaurant, they can always receive such orders—

Some special guests are not suitable for appearing in public, but they like some food in their restaurant very much.

Then these special guests only need to spend an extra sum of money, and the chefs can go to the place they specify to cook dishes for the guests in the evening.

During the whole process, they won't come into contact with the guests. After all the food is cooked, they will cover it with a dining table cover to keep the temperature, and serving within ten minutes is the best time.

More than ten minutes might cool down a bit, making the taste of some dishes change slightly, but if the customer has a larger oven at home, there is no such problem.

Of course, they can also provide professional equipment to ensure the temperature of the food, and it won't destroy the taste of the food because of water vapor, which only requires paying an extra small sum of money, and that's enough.

In the reception hall of the big mansion, several executive committee members of the State Prohibition Committee are here—

This is a very interesting phenomenon. In the Federation, people who can really make decisions for certain things are often not the people with the best business ability.

Because people with the best business ability are always on the front line, and those on the front line are always small characters.

Before Dai Er joined the State Prohibition Committee as an executive committee member, the executive committee member mainly responsible for presiding over the state's prohibition work held a wine glass and looked at the chefs in the courtyard who were working hard.

This scene is exceptionally ridiculous.

Executive committee member of the Prohibition Committee, drinking alcohol, but the people around don't feel there is anything.

Because even the senators of the Congressional Prohibition Committee, they will also discuss work related to prohibition while drinking alcohol.

Drinking alcohol and working are two different things. Now it is private time, so no one will care if they are suitable for drinking.

This guy is named Tim, and he is basically the family background of most people in his class.

No too prominent family background, middle-class background, father is a lawyer, mother is a physician, has a younger brother and a younger sister, received elite education since childhood, and worked hard to become a superior person.

After graduating from high school, he obtained an invitation letter from the Elite Alliance Academy with excellent grades and under his father's operation, becoming one of the reserve lackeys of the upper class.

Because he came into contact with some very realistic things since childhood, his family's education didn't let him develop in the direction of "I am the sun". His father used one bloody case after another to make him more mature and realistic than his peers.

So he made friends with some capable classmates during college and became a lackey for these people.

Some people look down on him, including his first love girlfriend.

His first love girlfriend felt that he had a good family background and excellent learning grades, but he still had to become a lackey for some "villains", and was extremely disappointed in him!

But facts have proved that he was right to do so!

He has already completed the class leap by turning himself into a lackey, while those classmates who thought they could change the world are still struggling at the bottom.

This time Dai Er "parachuted" down, not only did he not treat Dai Er as an opponent for power, but instead, under the gaze of many people, he actively cooperated with some of Dai Er's measures.

He knows very well that the person behind him is not the person behind Dai Er, or the person behind Lanse's opponent.

He asked himself that his ability absolutely exceeded Dai Er's, but the person above was not useful, so his ability became meaningless.

He saw through this thing of ability very thoroughly twenty years ago. This is just a gold-plated tulip.

With it, you can get some extra praise.

Without it, people won't say anything either.

As for whether he is reconciled in his heart, that is another matter.

This is also the problem they often encounter in this class. Even if they have gone all out, they have gone all out to the wrong object.

The reflection of himself in the floor-to-ceiling glass looks no longer young, and the ears are full of chatting from colleagues, but he is thinking about how to curry favor with Lanse.

His thoughts are not very clear to others, and some even feel... he is just not very happy, because now it is the Dai Er era, and everything must listen to Dai Er.

After a while, the motorcade returned from outside, and Dai Er also returned to this room.

The moment Tim turned around, his face was full of smiles. He drank the little wine left in the wine glass, put it on the table beside his hand, and then walked towards Dai Er at the door.

"Mr. Lanse went to change into a suit, and will come down soon."

In fact, Federation people are a very casual group, but on some issues, they are exceptionally entangled. What kind of different wear should be in different occasions, which is clearly a very simple thing, but it is made very complicated.

Soon Lanse changed into a suit suitable for receiving important guests in his own home and came down. He entered the room, and Tim was already standing at the front.

"I'll introduce you, this is Mr. Perry, Tim Perry, he gave me great help in my work."

"I was able to get familiar with my work so quickly, he has a great contribution!"

Lanse reached out and shook hands with him, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Perry, I have long wanted to know you!"

Tim also smiled and expressed the same point of view, "Thank you Dai Er for being able to come to us to work, so that I have the honor to make friends like you, this is also my, and our honor!"

The hands of the two quickly loosened. He just needed to express his position and attitude, and then Dai Er introduced the people behind him.

After the introduction, everyone sat down separately. Now there are about twenty minutes before dinner starts.

Because some dishes have to wait for Lanse to arrive, they let the chefs start cooking, which is also to ensure that the dishes are in the most perfect state when they are served.

Of course, this kind of reservation that will change also needs to increase a small sum of money.

At this moment, the extra cost is already much higher than the price of the meal itself.

Lanse sat in the main seat without giving way. After everyone else was seated, he said with a smile on his face, "This time, thanks to everyone's help, we discovered and eradicated a tumor entrenched in the northwest region of this state."

"How much alcohol did we find from their warehouse?", he looked at Dai Er.

Dai Er smiled and said, "Between about 3.5 million and 4 million."

"Yes, 4 million in alcohol, looking at the entire Federation, this is also an astonishing record!"

"Congress must have given you awards!"

Tim nodded, "Indeed, so far, this is the largest batch captured."

Creating a record is something that every politician longs for, because having a record means being paid attention to by the above.

And being paid attention to means that if there is a suitable opportunity, the opportunity will favor him.

"It can be seen that the State Prohibition Committee has outstanding and excellent performance in prohibition work. You are all the backbone of the country, and the stability of society depends on you!"

A young man in his twenties saying such words among a group of middle-aged people in their thirties or forties doesn't make people feel presumptuous or unaccustomed, but feels harmonious and reasonable.

"But...", the topic changed, and the expressions of the people in the room became a bit more serious.

"Now the situation of prohibition in the state is still not optimistic. A large number of moonshine workshops, and even moonshine, and inferior alcohol blended with industrial alcohol are flooding the market."

"They not only destroyed our prohibition work results, but also hurt some ordinary people who bought alcohol to get drunk."

He told the story of industrial alcohol causing casualties. As for whether it had already happened, he didn't care much.

"News" doesn't have to be true. If it must be true to be news, then this world would have been destroyed long ago.

He will use his influence in the news group to publicize these news. Whether it is Congress or local, they will definitely increase the intensity of publicizing this news.

Because "drinking might cause casualties" is undoubtedly the best persuasion for prohibition. What if you drink fake alcohol, drink blind, or drink people to death?

Other people nodded one after another, agreeing with Lanse's point of view, and some even looked at Lanse with a bit strange eyes.

Who doesn't know that Lanse is the largest producer and seller in Likalai State.

Before, he had to be sneaky, but now he doesn't hide it after getting the franchise. Although they still don't know where it is, it can be seen from his shipment volume that he is going all out to produce.

As for the market, in the alcohol around New Jincheng, Golden Lion whiskey has occupied at least one-third of the market, and other smuggled alcohol must give Lanse money.

Recently, the Saint Bell Party was destroyed, and many people said that Lanse took a fancy to the Saint Bell Party's territory and wanted to dump his alcohol in their territory.

As for how it is, everyone doesn't know, but it's definitely not groundless.

Tim tasted the meaning in Lanse's words, "Mr. Lanse, don't worry, we will increase the intensity of prohibition in various regions, and for these criminals who dare to destroy social stability, we will definitely not let them go!"

Lanse looked at Tim a few more times. This guy is very active!

He smiled very satisfied, "That's best, not to tolerate any criminals and criminal acts is the bottom line of our law enforcers!"

But this sentence has a tail, giving people the feeling that it hasn't been finished.

Sure enough, after two or three seconds, he added another sentence, "But also pay attention to identification."

Pay attention to identification?

Identify what?

Tim frowned slightly, and others were also thoughtful.

However, this is not the best time to ask. This kind of question is best discussed in private, not asked publicly, even if everyone knows what he is referring to.

Subsequent topics became much more relaxed. Under the leadership of Dai Er and Tim, everyone said some interesting things, work-related, and some rumors of the real upper class.

Chatting and chatting, they talked about war. Men are always like this, the topic of chatting never leaves politics and war.

In fact, younger men will also talk about women, but the people here have already left that low-level interest stage.

Mainly because they have played too much, so they are naturally not so interested.

Teenagers discuss the little woman next door because of ignorant admiration. Middle-aged men never talk about it because they don't just have one at home, but many outside.

So war became the topic while waiting to enjoy dinner.

Because the channels for these people to obtain information are limited, the channels they obtain information in this regard are consistent with the ordinary people of the Federation, all through official media and newspapers.

Even if they have doubts about these reports, they can only be suspicious.

They talked about the status quo, development, and future of the war.

Chatting and chatting, Tim felt that Lanse's participation in this topic was not enough. Out of the intention of considering for the old man, he took the initiative to put the topic in Lanse's hands.

"Mr. Lanse, what do you think the future development trend is?"

"About this war!"

Lanse thought for a while, "The situation won't be too bad, and soon we will have new actions and plans. As for the result, it's hard for me to give a judgment."

"But I believe in one point!", he picked up the wine glass and took a sip, then put it down slowly, raised his eyebrows, "The Federation will win!"

The amount of information in this sentence is too large!

In an instant, the gentlemen in the room couldn't speak. Except for those who were really stupid, others read too much information from his words that they had suspected before but were not confident about.

What does Lanse's "won't be too bad" mean?

It means that the current situation is actually very bad. If the situation is really good, he will only say "indeed not bad" and the like.

Then he mentioned new actions and plans, and it is impossible to predict the consequences, which shows that the military has not always intended to act according to the tasks assigned to them by the alliance, always playing a wall on the battlefield, they have their own ideas.

As for the final "The Federation will win"?

Tim has already associated it with the conscription that is still continuing recently. They intend to exchange casualties for results!

Tim looked at Lanse and felt that this young man was terrifying!

Not just his own wrist, ability, more importantly, the interest network and relationship network he established in this society.

There are too many capable people. Tim himself is a capable person, but he is not as mixed as Lanse. On the one hand, his ability is much worse than Lanse's, and on the other hand, his relationship network is much worse than Lanse's.

These words of Lanse revealed information that all revealed a hidden message to them: Lanse has a very close connection with the military high-level and the Ministry of National Defense high-level, at least in one aspect.

Otherwise, it is impossible for him to obtain this very confidential information, and this also makes the people here recognize him more.

At this time, Lanse's people knocked on the door and walked in from outside, standing by the door, "Dinner is ready."

Lanse nodded, supported the vice-hand of the sofa and stood up. The chefs in the courtyard also brought the dishes to the dining table, put on the dining table cover, and began to pack up and leave.

During this period, the gentlemen in the room went to the toilet, and those who wanted to clean themselves cleaned themselves.

Seven or eight minutes later, everyone came to the garden.

Lanse's subordinates played the role of waiters. They opened the dining table cover, revealing the rich food inside.

Lanse smiled and touched his stomach, "I was hungry long ago, so... let's start!"

"Does anyone need to pray first?"

The gentlemen shook their heads with a smile. Although they are believers, they are not that believing.

The Lord can almost do nothing, but power and wealth can do it. Even if they are believers, they are believers of power and believers of wealth.

It has to be said that the reason why the cost of this dinner is outrageously high is because the taste is indeed good, and everyone ate very happily.

Seeing that the sky was late, Lanse was also sitting in the car for almost a whole day, and people also planned to say goodbye.

Anyway, Lanse is still in Manton for a few days, and they have plenty of opportunities to visit Lanse privately.

Lanse didn't keep them. He also really wanted to rest, "I prepared some small gifts for you, and have already asked people to put them in the trunks of your cars."

Tim and the others were stunned for a moment, and didn't refuse.

Everyone knows that Lanse is a super rich man now, and if both sides want to make deeper friends, these small gifts are a must to accept.

They thanked Lanse one after another. Lanse looked at Dai Er, "You have it too."

Subsequently, he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't keep you, hope the road is safe."

After these people left the villa, they didn't immediately go to see what Lanse sent. Instead, they said goodbye to each other. If Lanse sent different things, opening them would be very embarrassing.

The brains of these people are very flexible, directly refusing this possibility.

Tim drove very fast. When he arrived home, he saw the suitcase in the trunk.

He wanted to lift it up with one hand, but found that he couldn't lift it at all. It was too heavy.

He used two hands to lift the suitcase.

Just like this, walking for a while, stopping for a while, he returned to the study under his wife's strange gaze, and dismissed the wife who wanted to know what happened, and then opened the suitcase.

As the suitcase was slowly opened, he looked at the things inside, and said "Holy Crab" with a blank face!

He reached out and touched the gold bricks. Ten kilograms of gold bricks were lined up, and there was also a transfer agreement for a villa in Manton below. Just need to sign a name, no matter who it is, he can get a big mansion worth more than 30,000!

This is just a meeting, Tim knows this very well. He now wants to cooperate with Lanse even more.

This kind of generous gift-giving, and hard-relationship friend, he Tim is determined to make!

There are quite a few people who have the same idea as him. Although this Prohibition Committee member can indeed catch some money, compared to what they caught, Lanse obviously gave more!

Gave so much, really can't refuse! ===== CHAPTER 747 =====
