Chapter 388 Expensive Gifts
The smiling sand looks insignificant, has no dazzling color, nor has a beautiful appearance. At first glance, it is an ordinary grain of sand.
Not only was the successful person confused, but even Miss Li herself didn't know what Zhao Li meant. However, after all, there was a father at the commander level who knew something about Zhao Li. She believed that Zhao Li would never use any messy things to perfunctory her. In any case, Zhao Li was also a subordinate of Commander Li Liqing and would never ruin his future.
However, Miss Li thought so, it does not mean that others thought so too. As soon as the successful person spoke, the others who were attracted by him surrounded him and pointed at him from time to time.
"I'm still a major general, I'm giving such a shabby thing."
"Yes, it's very rude. I really don't know how he became this major general."
Such words sounded in Zhao Li's ears from time to time, but Zhao Li seemed to be ignorant of anything. Instead, he solemnly sent the sand in his hand to Miss Li: "I'm giving you a birthday gift!"
Upstairs, the old warden and the principal who were discussing closed their mouths at the same time, which made everyone stunned and didn't know what was going on. Finally, the old warden explained: "This crazy man Zhao actually used a piece of sand as a birthday gift. Boy, don't you explain it?"
"This is not ordinary sand." Zhao Li's voice sounded upstairs and downstairs at the same time: "There was once a saying in Buddhism, 'One sand, one world, one tree and one Bodhi'. This sand can give you an extra world."
Zhao Li's words seemed to have a sense of Zen, but no one could understand what his words meant. Give him one more world? Look at me, and I look at you, but I can't say what kind of artistic conception it contains.
"It's mysterious. Can such people be officials in your army be held?" The successful person curled his lips very despised and teased casually. However, he immediately knew that this sentence was wrong and would offend most people, including the owners here. He hurriedly and anxiously added: "Only a rude guy like you can sneak into the ranks of military officers."
"What does it mean?" While the successful person said this, the principal upstairs asked, obviously, he was also very curious about Zhao Li's words: "Give one more world?"
"Any world must have life to feel it." This time, Zhao Li's voice only sounded upstairs: "As long as people don't die, they still have a breath. If you eat it, you can bring people back to life."
A simple explanation, amazing effect. A group of big figures upstairs seemed to suddenly shut their mouths. After Zhao Li said it, he suddenly realized how important this kind of thing that resurrected the dead is to those with high power.
"Really or not?" The principal suddenly smiled and interrupted everyone's silence: "It's not a bragging, is it?"
"It's not that magical." Zhao Li also understood that the principal was helping him eliminate the excessive impact he just said. Following the principal's topic, he admitted: "However, it has a good therapeutic effect on physiological trauma, and it is even more effective for restoring physical strength and true qi. My people can recover quickly during extreme training, which is because they drink the water soaked in this thing."
Zhao Li did not lie on this point. It was enough that everyone in the Special Operations Team, plus the secretary around Zhao Li's breakthrough, only one soaked activated water was enough.
"How many things like this are there? Can it be produced energy?" Commander Wang Yao first asked. What he was concerned about was not the question of one person or two, but whether it could be promoted in the military. If there was really such a magical thing as Zhao Li said, once energy is produced, the combat effectiveness of the army will directly reach a new height.
"There is only this little left." Zhao Li didn't dare to say more, and made a painful voice: "If it weren't for Miss Li's birthday and I didn't prepare any gifts, I wouldn't have been willing to take them out."
"This gift is too expensive." Commander Li Liqing stood up, sued everyone, and pushed open the door and walked down.
After explaining to Miss Li, Zhao Li did not speak again, but his lips moved, as if he had nothing to say. In the eyes of these young people downstairs, this situation was obviously a sign of guilt. For a moment, the dissatisfaction immediately filled the surroundings.
"This thing is best stored in a dry and sealed metal container, otherwise it will slowly be dissolved by the water vapor in the air." Zhao Li's hand was still firmly placed in front of Miss Li and gave her the advice for storage. The people around him did not care at all.
Miss Li suddenly didn't know what to do. In theory, Crazy Zhao was the youngest and most promising general under her father. She was already in the rank of major general and commander of the military region at a young age. In terms of future development, even those who have reached the level of general may not have a future for Zhao Li. However, the discussions of her close friends around her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Those who were invited by her to the birthday party were friends who were very good at getting along with her. However, their friends were talking about Zhao Li's unworthy behavior. If she wanted to help Zhao Liyuan with all her face, it would make her friends unable to come to Taiwan. This situation made her very embarrassed. Facing the gift Zhao Li gave to her, she didn't know whether she should have reached out to take it.
"This gift is too expensive, it's not appropriate to accept it." Commander Li Liqing's voice came from behind the crowd, which made the people downstairs excited. When they arrived, the commander just exposed the bottom, and then signaled them to fall downstairs casually and pour upstairs himself. In fact, if the commander stayed downstairs, the cocktail party would probably not be held. The depressing atmosphere alone could destroy the entire cocktail party.
The commander came down to face Zhao Li in person, which was not too surprising. After all, Zhao Li was also a figure in the army, and it was understandable to meet his commander. However, Commander Li Liqing said that this grain of sand was too precious, how could this be possible?
"Dad!" Miss Li was very happy to see her father come down to help her. She turned around and ran over happily, hugged her father's arm, and pulled him here. The guests around had already made way and gave the commander to the front.
"I'm just curious, come down to see what this thing looks like." The commander's words were very artistic, smiling and kind-hearted father's face, but Ms. Li didn't have to be so embarrassed: "But just look, it's too expensive to collect things."
"It's just a private gift. The sir, there's nothing else to say. I'm in a hurry and I don't prepare a suitable gift. I can only use this to treat you." Zhao Li was very polite, and he didn't have the tone of the army to face his superiors. He was casually as if he was a visit between ordinary friends.
"I can't accept it." Commander Li Liqing carefully looked at the sand on Zhao Li's hand. After looking at it for a while, he still shook his head very firmly and rejected Zhao Li.
As soon as the commander spoke, he naturally did not make a joke. The guests around him, including successful people, were all stunned. Just now, everyone shouted to confront Zhao Li with a consistent attitude, but unexpectedly, they were indeed the most rude.
"Dad!" Miss Li was a little unhappy: "This is for me, of course you can't accept it." In a word, Miss Li found that things were not that simple, so she became wise in a hurry, and made a joke to relieve everyone's surprise.
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone immediately burst into a kind laugh, and the atmosphere at the scene eased. However, everyone's eyes were still focused on the inconspicuous grain of sand in Zhao Li's hand. Is this little thing really worth a commander from the commander of the commander-in-chief to refuse? Or is this gesture that Mr. Li loves his subordinates and does not want Zhao Li to be too embarrassed, so he deliberately made?
"Dad, what is this thing? Is it that expensive?" After all, I am still a young man, and curiosity is inevitable. First, I saw the blazing gossip fire burning in the eyes of my friends, and second, I felt that if the value of this thing was proved, I would look good in my face. So, I hugged her father's arm and asked softly.
"This thing looks inconspicuous, but do you know, if it is replaced with equipment, can you equip many people?" Commander Li Liqing is already an old and energetic figure, how could he not see his daughter's thoughts? Moreover, when the young people who didn't know the world just now heard Zhao Li's words, he felt a little angry. The most promising major generals in the military are also the ones you young masters and ladies who don't know the joys and sorrows of the soldiers, can question it?
The commander's rhetoric asked, Miss Li's curiosity was once again provoked, and she guessed excitedly: "A warrior's standard equipment, I know, ordinary bulletproof clothing, electronic balance backpacks, weapons, and electronic command modules, even if these are mass-produced, they cost about 10,000 per person. Can this thing be equipped with one hundred people? Two hundred people?"
Since Commander Li Liqing said it was too expensive, it means that if he accepted it, the reputation of the Commander might be damaged, and he thought that Zhao Li bribed the Commander. Therefore, Miss Li naturally guessed a high price she thought. In any case, a gift bribed the Commander's daughter would be worth one or two million, which was already considered as the most important thing.
Even the most expensive successful person who gave gifts today was just holding a necklace worth 500,000 yuan. And it was a gift given in front of the commander, but the commander had nothing to say or refuse. I think that the value would definitely not be favored.
Looking at her daughter's careful guess value, Commander Li Liqing also felt funny. However, the most important thing about her daughter's birthday was that she should be happy. The Commander didn't want to expose the answer at once, making her lose the fun of this guess. She just shook her head with a smile, indicating that her guess was not accurate enough.
"Can I guess it? I don't know what this is." Miss Li held the commander's arm in a cute manner and shook it. Her coquettish look made people laugh: "At least you want to give me a reminder!"
"Okay, I'll give you a reminder." The commander decided to accompany his daughter to complete this happy game: "A 500 people in one reinforcement camp." Then, the commander stretched out two more fingers and shook it in front of his daughter.
Zhao Li kept smiling, looking at the happiness of their father and daughter, and said nothing. However, the guests around him had already begun to guess what the sand grain was for and how it was worth so much money.
"I understand!" Seeing the commander's prompt, Miss Li's eyes lit up: "Two reinforcement battalions, ten million, this thing is worth ten million, right?"
As soon as Miss Li said, the guests around him whispered softly and suddenly realized that such a valuable thing is worthy of the commander's personal rejection.
"No." The commander shook his head and denied his daughter's speculation.
"How much is it? Dad, tell me!" Miss Li didn't guess and immediately used the invincible spoiled method, hugging her father's arm for a while.
Commander Li Liqing lowered his head, stroked his daughter's ear, and then quietly said a number. As soon as he finished speaking, Miss Li shouted in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief, her eyes wide as if she was lanterns, staring at the sand in Zhao Li's hand, her eyes as if attracted by magnets and could no longer move.
Miss Li's performance made the guests around him puzzled, but the commander spoke in a low voice. They did not have the courage to let the commander speak loudly, so they could only suppress the curiosity and wait for Miss Li to solve the mystery.
"What does it mean to give me more world?" After a long time, Miss Li recovered and asked Zhao Li very much. The eyes of Zhao Li were very different. No matter who it is, giving such a valuable gift to others will make people look at each other differently.
"Nothing special, it's just that it can save lives in some cases." Zhao Li said lightly, but the more this happens, the more it makes people unable to calm down.
In some cases, it is enough to save your life alone. No matter how much it is worth and how much it costs. What is more expensive than life? Especially your own life?
"Sorry, General, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it." After the surprise, Miss Li also knew why her father didn't accept this small gift and made the same choice.
"It's just something outside, why bother to care so much?" Zhao Li made a random move, and a dry metal spoon not far away flew to Zhao Li's hand as if he was pulled by a thread.
This magical scene did not surprise everyone much. All the guests were waiting for Miss Li to explain. One of her impatient friends even quietly pushed her and told her to say it quickly.
"This thing can be replaced with equipment, and it is a conservative estimate." Miss Li did not disappoint everyone and told her the answer.
