Chapter 913: The Story of Ling and Heng (176)

In the evening, in the victory banquet of XI Base.

The leaders praised the snipers in turn. Then a very charismatic leader named Daniken in the US military went to the table where the snipers sat and sat next to Feng Ling. He kept praising her and asked her how old she was, and when she entered the base.

It could be seen that this Daniken seemed to be very interested in Feng Ling.

Feng Ling was not good at speaking, so she just answered what he asked.

Li Nanheng was chatting with the leaders of the United Nations. Glimpsing that Feng Ling was embarrassed, he exchanged some pleasantries with the people around him, put down the glass in his hand, and walked over.

“Mr. Daniken.” Li Nanheng walked over, casually put his hand on Feng Ling’s shoulder, and looked at Daniken next to her. “These boys did a good job today, but all they know is training and tasks and aren’t very good at socializing. They are afraid to offend you, so they are a bit nervous. Please don’t mind, Mr. Daniken.”

“Haha, no, no!” Daniken laughed and then looked at Feng Ling, who looked uneasy. “I just came to ask this little brother how old he is. He looks so young, but his performance is amazing today.”

Li Nanheng smiled and pressed Feng Ling’s shoulder a bit. Getting his hint, Feng Ling immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Deniken, excuse me. I’m going to the bathroom. Our boss will have a few drinks with you.”

Then she got up and took a look at Li Nanheng. She knew what he meant. He hinted her to leave to avoid the embarrassment.

She really didn’t know what to talk with Daniken. And she was grateful that Boss Li helped her out. Exchanging a glance with him, she quickly walked away.

Li Nanheng sat down, poured two glasses of wine to drink with Daniken, and talked about the matters about the base, but in the end, the topic became Feng Ling again.

Especially after Feng Ling came back from the bathroom and sat opposite to them, Daniken looked at Feng Ling again and said, “The US military sniper team also provides very professional training. We’ve just recruited some newcomers this year, who are young, impetuous, and not easy to manage. Brother Feng Ling is about the same age as them but is much more excellent than them. I think he can be a good model if he trains with the newcomers for two months.”

When Li Nanheng heard this, his face didn’t change, but his eyes flickered, and he placed the wine glass on the table.

Feng Ling and the others all knew what Daniken meant.

He wanted to poach Feng Ling from XI Base.

He wanted to poach an excellent member of XI Base to the US military, which was going too far.

Seeing that Feng Ling’s face slightly changed, Daniken said again, “Little Brother Feng Ling, don’t take me wrong. I just hope you can set a model for the new members. You can come back in at most two months. Although I appreciate you, I don’t have the guts to poach Mr. Li’s men.”

“Right, Mr. Li?” Daniken smiled and looked at Li Nanheng.

Li Nanheng smiled, but his face and his voice were cold. “You’re kidding me, Mr. Daniken. No offense, but if anyone wants to poach my men, it won’t be easy.”

Daniken smiled and looked at the five members on the table. “Really? If the US military offers better treatment to you, are you going to the US military?”

The five of them looked at each other and didn’t speak.

Does this guy think they are stupid? No other place is better than XI Base, especially in the US. These people are too self-righteous and think that everyone in the world is eager to enter their army. Every member of XI Base was quite disdainful of them.

None of them spoke, though. XI Base and the military were evenly matched. Now that Boss Li did not break the peace on the surface, they certainly would not speak out their real thoughts.

Not getting the response he wanted, Daniken raised his eyebrows and looked at Feng Ling again, “I’d like to invite Little Brother Feng Ling to visit us merely for the friendship of XI Base and the US military. I don’t mean anything else, but if Little Brother Feng Ling is willing to join us, we’ll offer you the salary of at least three million US dollars a year. Little Brother, would you like to join us?”

Feng Ling smiled politely but did not answer.

The other four didn’t speak, but they sneered in their hearts.

This man was really arrogant. Did he think only they were rich?

They didn’t know that the UN favored XI Base very much. With the public grants from the UN and the Li family’s support, the base didn’t lack money.

Even the newcomers in the base could earn a lot of money every year, not to mention Feng Ling, who could get hundreds of thousands of dollars from every mission.

He tried to tempt Feng Ling with money, which showed how ignorant they were and how they were biased against and ignorant about XI Base.

Li Nanheng also glanced at Feng Ling. “Would you?”

Now that Boss Li asked her, Feng Ling answered, “If it’s only for communication, I’d love to accept it and don’t need any remuneration. But if it’s for other reasons, I’m sorry I can’t. Thank you, Mr. Daniken. I have a deep feeling for XI Base, so I won’t leave it. Besides, I don’t lack money.”

I don’t lack money.

These simple words were like an invisible slap on Daniken’s face.

Daniken narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at her, and smiled again. “Just a joke. The military’s sniper team is not short of talent, but I think Little Brother Feng Ling can surely make a good model for our newcomers. OK, that’s that. When we leave tomorrow, you will go with us. You don’t have to pack or prepare anything. We have everything there. You’ll have a comfortable life there and don’t have to worry about anything.”
