Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 770 A Surprising Turn of Events!
"Even if you dare to give it away, I wouldn't dare to drive it!"

Gao Jianjun laughed heartily and waved his hand as he spoke.

This kind of car is one of a kind in the whole country, and Gao Jianjun doesn't have the guts to drive it.

Even if he dares to ask for it, when his father, Gao Weiguo, finds out, he'll definitely pull out his long-unused belt and give him a good wake-up call.

"Come on, everything's in the basement, let's go pick something out!" Xu Ye said after the joke.

How long will Xu Ye be able to use a whole Hummer of stuff by himself?
Especially since Xu Ye spends most of his time in the military, there's even less need for him; it would be better to send most of him out as soon as possible.

Wow, so many!

When Gao Jianjun followed him into the basement, he saw the items displayed on several large shelves and blurted out something.

Gao Jianjun also knew about this basement.

When the renovation was being carried out, Wen Ziren helped with the paperwork to prevent future disputes.

Now, this sizable basement has been completely transformed under Xu Ye's tinkering.

The most eye-catching thing was those shelves with a dazzling array of items.

There's no way around it; the writing and packaging are so different from those in China that it's impossible for it not to stand out.

As for Xu Ye's neatly arranged workbench, Gao Jianjun completely ignored it.

Little did they know that those seemingly insignificant tools were actually quite expensive.

If you buy normally, it shouldn't be a problem to buy several houses in Kunming.

However, in today's China, there aren't many people who know its value.

Not to mention, Xu Ye even changed the label on it so that it wouldn't be so conspicuous.

Of course, Xu Ye redeemed all these items from the system shop, and after removing the premium, it didn't cost him any Liver Points.

This can be considered as fulfilling a small wish from a past life—to have one's own tool room, full of emotional value.

"Company commander, this is for you!"

Xu Ye quickly walked a few steps to the shelf, picked up a small box from it, and handed it to Gao Jianjun.

"what?"

Gao Jianjun took it without hesitation. "A watch? This is too expensive, I can't accept it!"

After opening it and seeing what it was, Gao Jianjun quickly closed the lid and handed it back.

"Company commander, it's not very expensive, you can keep it. I have several more here!"

Xu Ye naturally wouldn't take it, and pointed to the row of watch boxes on the shelf.

It has to be said that Da Mu, the simpleton, was very thoughtful, or rather, the people around him were very capable. Not only did he give Xu Ye a luxury watch, but he also prepared some ordinary watches for Xu Ye to give as gifts. There were quite a few similar items.

Otherwise, the Il-76's enormous cabin wouldn't have been able to be fully loaded.

Of course, "ordinary" refers to Shadak. For ordinary Chinese people, those "ordinary watches" are definitely luxury watches.

For example, the Rolex 2003 16610LV that Gao Jianjun is currently holding, also known as the first generation green Submariner, had an official price of about 50,000 yuan when it was launched two years ago, which is only a few thousand US dollars. For Saddam Hussein, that was really too cheap.

So, Xu Ye counted the green Submariner; it cost a total of twenty yuan, clearly intended for him to give away as a gift.

Little did they know that even at this price, it was still considered a luxury item in China.

That amount of money could buy a house in some small cities in China.

Therefore, after recognizing the brand, even though he didn't know its specific value, Gao Jianjun's first reaction was that he couldn't accept it.

After all, it's Rolex, it's a brand!

"so much?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianjun noticed that there were more than a dozen similar boxes, and he was immediately shocked.

Not to mention him, Han Ziqing had a similar expression, but she quickly showed worry.

"Xu Ye, are you sure this is okay?"

Unlike Gao Jianjun, who only knew the brand, Han Ziqing, with her broader knowledge, knew its approximate value.

That's why Han Ziqing has this concern.

Xu Ye, you absolutely mustn't make a mistake!

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare accept it without the approval from above!" Xu Ye said with a smile.

This is nothing. You know, the Patek Philippe I saw last night not only had a men's model but also a women's model, and the price was no less than that Ferrari.

Since the higher-ups had given their permission, Xu Ye didn't care anymore.

If they dare to give it, Xu Ye dares to take it.

Furthermore, the contents of this plane are worth millions of dollars, which is indeed a huge fortune for ordinary people.

But compared to Saddam's life, it's nothing.

The real bulk of the problem lies in the planes that haven't been delivered yet.

It was precisely because of these considerations that the higher-ups ultimately decided to let Xu Ye accept these items and dispose of them as he saw fit.

However, these things cannot be told to the two of them.

"Sure?"

Gao Jianjun was somewhat tempted.

Men don't really like many things, but watches are one of them.

It's impossible not to be tempted.

"I'm 100% sure. Just report it to your superiors when the time comes," Xu Ye said somewhat helplessly.

"No need for that, I trust you!" Gao Jianjun shook his head and said.

Gao Jianjun trusted Xu Ye completely and naturally had no doubt about his words.

"Company Commander, it's best to report this to avoid any unnecessary trouble," Xu Ye reminded him.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Sometimes, it's best to be cautious.

Gao Jianjun clearly doesn't know the value of this watch, but Xu Ye does!

Don't end up being called "Grandpa"!

"That!"

Gao Jianjun readily agreed, then realized what he meant, "Wait a minute, you've got me all confused with just a few words. I haven't even said I wanted this yet!"

"Company Commander, it's just a watch, a small token of my appreciation. Don't be so girly!" Xu Ye said, taking it out and putting it on his wrist.

Gao Jianjun has large wrists, so the watchband fits him perfectly without much adjustment.

“That’s right, Xu Ye has so much here, don’t be polite with him,” Han Ziqing chimed in.

Han Ziqing was naturally aware of the relationship and feelings between Xu Ye and Gao Jianjun. Let alone a watch, Gao Jianjun would pawn anything, no matter how good it was.

After all, it's uncertain whether her boyfriend would have survived if it weren't for Gao Jianjun.

Compared to the debt of life, what is a mere watch worth?

Just now in the garage, Han Ziqing could tell that if Gao Jianjun really wanted that Hummer, Xu Ye would not hesitate at all.

Gao Jianjun could also sense this.

So, joking about it is fine, but actually asking for it is absolutely impossible.

It's very simple, Xu Ye is really willing to give!
Since things had come to this, Gao Jianjun stopped being polite. Looking at the watch on his wrist, he remarked with some emotion, "I must say, it really does look much better than this old man's!"

The watch I wore before was just an ordinary watch, nothing special.

"Company Commander, don't rush to look at it. We'll have plenty of time when we get back. Let's quickly sort out the stuff!" Xu Ye quickly reminded him.

Xu Ye didn't want to drag things out any longer, having already wasted so much time on just one watch.

"Okay, whatever you say!"

At this point, Gao Jianjun had also given up.

Once a person's limits are broken, there's nothing they can do but accept it.

Besides, it was Xu Ye's kind gesture, and Gao Jianjun couldn't refuse. From then on, whenever there was an item in multiple quantities, Xu Ye gave Gao Jianjun one of each.

Food, drinks, daily necessities, clothing...

In short, it emphasizes the word "expensive".

"Xu Ye, these things are enough to get me in there."

Looking at the large box full of things, Gao Jianjun said with some emotion.

He had no idea about the value of these things, let alone the brands they represented; in fact, he had never even heard of them.

But you can ask!

At this moment, Gao Jianjun not only knew the passing grade of the watch he was wearing, but also the approximate value of everything else.

All of these factors combined would qualify as "a huge amount" when sentencing the offender.

"Company commander, don't give me away later!" Xu Ye joked.

How much is this?

When Xu Ye leaves Chuncheng, he plans to take all these things to the Han family.

If a verdict is to be handed down, the Han family should be sentenced first.

Of course, this is impossible.

"By the way, Company Commander, you gave Wen Ziren quite a lot of these things, didn't you?" Xu Ye then pointed to a box next to him.

Compared to Gao Jianjun's box, that box only contained some food and drinks.

Although it's worth a lot of money, it's not particularly eye-catching.

"That's enough, you've given too much. He's not like me, he wouldn't dare accept it!" Gao Jianjun shook his head and said.

After all, James Wan and Xu Ye had a good relationship, but it couldn't compare to his own.

If it were really the same, based on his understanding of Wen Ziren, Wen would absolutely not accept it.

These things are all a bit too much.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say!" Xu Ye nodded. "Ziqing, the rest of the stuff will be sent to your house, okay?"

"no problem!"

Han Ziqing naturally wouldn't refuse. She also knew that once everyone left, the house would be unsafe.

He then added, "However, the car won't do; it's too conspicuous!"

Forget about letting it go; if that Ferrari just stops in front of his house today, who knows what rumors will start circulating tomorrow.

"You really don't want it?"

Xu Ye checked it again.

"do not want!"

Han Ziqing shook her head.

"Alright, let's find a car to tow it back to the base later!" Xu Ye couldn't force the issue.

"By the way, don't take all of it from my house. Take some back to the army base as gifts," Han Ziqing reminded her.

In this day and age, as long as it's not bribery or accepting bribes, no one will question normal gift-giving.

In a few years, even drinking a bowl of noodles will be reported to the authorities.

Of course, it's impossible to completely eliminate this kind of thing; it will only become more covert.

However, it can greatly reduce the occurrence of related incidents, and the effect is ultimately very good.

"I know, everything is ready."

Xu Ye nodded and pointed to a large box in the corner, which was full of food but not even any drinks.

After all, drinks aren't cheap, so it's best not to cause trouble.

"Company Commander, want to go together? I'll drive the car for Brother Wen on my way!" Xu Ye looked at Gao Jianjun beside him.

With Gao Jianjun as a comparison, Wen Ziren was able to accept the gifts with a clear conscience.

"Okay, let's go together! He's not on duty today."

Knowing what Xu Ye meant, Gao Jianjun did not refuse.

It was already afternoon when Xu Ye and the others came out of Wen Ziren's house.

Wen Ziren ultimately did not refuse the gift.

However, Xu Ye and his group had to have lunch at their house before they could leave; otherwise, they would not accept their belongings.

Unable to refuse Wen Ziren's hospitality, they had their second big meal after the New Year at his house.

During this time, Wen Ziren even had Gao Jianjun bring his wife and children over as well.

Now things are even more lively.

If Gao Jianjun hadn't had to go back to his unit that night, he probably wouldn't have been able to avoid that meal either.

Despite the bickering between Gao Jianjun and Wen Ziren, their families have a very good relationship!
"Xu Ye, our director said that the documentary will officially air tonight!"

Han Ziqing, who was driving carefully, looked at Xu Ye, who seemed to be fine, and spoke up.

There was nothing she could do; Xu Ye's somewhat amused gaze made her a little uncomfortable, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to start a conversation.

But even if she felt uncomfortable, Han Ziqing wouldn't let Xu Ye drive.

During the meal, Xu Ye drank the most alcohol; Han Ziqing quietly calculated that he had drunk about two jin (1 kg).

Having drunk so much, Han Ziqing naturally wouldn't let Xu Ye drive.

However, the price she paid was that this imposing Hummer made Han Ziqing realize the speed of an old man's car.

Even an old man's electric car can drive faster than her!

Little did they know that Xu Ye, though seemingly drinking a lot, had actually drunk quite a bit.

However, not even three ounces were actually swallowed.

It's been so long, it would have been completely metabolized by the body's powerful metabolism long ago.

Therefore, Xu Ye not only appears to be completely unaffected, but in reality, he is completely unaffected.

However, Xu Ye could not refute Han Ziqing's insistence.

After all, he did "drink" a lot of alcohol.

"So fast?"

Xu Ye was slightly surprised.

Han Ziqing had told him about this before.

However, before the Lunar New Year, there was no related information until the Spring Festival Gala ended, and Xu Ye thought it had been "rejected" by the higher-ups.

After all, in the previous generation, it would have been some time before the J-10 officially made its debut.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the surprise for the people of the whole country arrived, albeit belatedly!

"It's already been postponed, okay?" Han Ziqing said with some regret.

Fortunately, the final result was good, leaving her with no regrets in this important project she participated in after joining CCTV's military channel.

"Xu Ye, let me tell you, you have a lot of screen time in it!" Han Ziqing added with a proud look, "How about we come to my house tonight and watch TV together?"

In Han Ziqing's view, she naturally hopes to be with her family at such an important moment.

Her parents are her closest family, and now Xu Ye is also her family.

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Xu Ye naturally wouldn't refuse.

Anyway, nothing much has happened.

Besides, apart from New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, Xu Ye had visited the Han family more than once in the past few days, and he had already gotten used to it.
