Li Lanfeng thought for a moment and understood what Ling Lan meant. "I see!"
"This is the frontline of the battlefield so we can’t afford to make any mistakes. Unless there is another way, I don’t want to make the relationship so strained. Plus, I don’t wish that we have to guard our backs when we are fighting for our lives on the battlefield."
Ling Lan’s gaze turned vicious, a killing intent flashed passed her eyes. This was the reason she was so domineering today. She hoped that the people in the base would be united and fight their enemies together. She didn’t want the people inside to be scheming against each other and fighting for power while ignoring the crisis that is coming towards them.
"I understand." If Du Mingyi would listen to them and prioritize what should be prioritized, they would let him continue his position as the commanding officer of the base. If he dared to play tricks on them... Li Lanfeng gave a cold smile. They would destroy him. He wouldn’t allow anyone to spoil his Rabbit’s plans.
"Are they back yet?" Ling Lan asked.
Li Lanfeng shook his head. He stayed beside Ling Lan so he didn’t know what her friends were doing.
"Based on Lin Zhong-qing’s personality, he will go and grab some food for us. I’m hungry," Ling Lan said with frustration. She rarely did something so impressive but she still ended up with an empty stomach. ’Is this a warning by God? Is God telling her that she mustn’t be so haughty in the future? It looks like I’m was more suitable to be the main villain. I should keep a lower profile in the future.’ To make sure that she was able to lead a stable life, Ling Lan always reminded herself that she was the main villain. She mustn’t become those insignificant bosses that other people fought when they were leveling up.
Li Lanfeng sensed Ling Lan’s frustration and smiled. He quickly consoled her, "They should be back soon. Let me go out and take a look."
Ling Lan’s ear suddenly twitched. "No need. They are back!" As expected of her head of logistics. He knew what his Boss needed. Ling Lan gave Lin Zhong-qing a thumbs up in her mind.
Li Lanfeng wanted to laugh when he saw the cold aura subsiding from Ling Lan’s body, revealing a young man with a hint of anticipation on it. ’Ever since Rabbit knew my real identity, he would restrain his force of presence when they were alone together. Isn’t this an unexpected gain of the situation?’ For the first time, Li Lanfeng felt good about his appearance.
"Boss!" Lin Zhong-qing shouted while carrying a few plates over with a very rare expression of worry on his face.
Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. "What is the matter?" Something must have happened for Lin Zhong-qing to show such an expression. It had to be said that Ling Lan understood her friends well.
"Due to an error in my commands, we took all the food in the kitchen." Lin Zhong-qing lowered his head after putting the plates of food down, waiting for his boss to scold him for his blunder.
"You took everything?" Ling Lan was stunned. ’Fine, they have offended all the officers there. 250 Mecha Clan have become the main antagonist of the base.’ She looked at Lin Zhong-qing’s guilty face and comforted him, "Nevermind, our plan has already been initiated beautifully so this will not affect anything."
"But the food..." There was too much food. The mecha operators wouldn’t be able to finish all of them. Lin Zhong-qing was anxious. He didn’t want to waste any of the food.
"Since there is enough food, we can have our own dinner party. Let’s enjoy the food together. Let everyone have a taste of the food that was meant to be served for dinner today," Ling Lan replied after some thought.
"Yes, regiment commander!" Lin Zhong-qing answered excitedly. If his logisticians knew about this, they would be exhilarated!
Lin Zhong-qing looked at Ling Lan in admiration. His Boss treated everyone fairly. He didn’t ever forget anyone. Even if others looked down on logisticians, his boss didn’t. He even took much effort to invent a set of physical skills technique suitable for them so that they could become strong too. Lin Zhong-qing never expected his Boss to treat them so well. He used his own money and let every logistician get their own personal mecha. Their boss even promised them that their mechas would upgrade when their mecha piloting skills improved. Hence, besides the time spent on their work, the logisticians would use the rest of the time to train so that they could become better and stronger.
250 Ace Mecha Clan gave them an opportunity to climb higher. They do not have to stay as a logistician for life. They do not have to admire the mechas that they were not able to get. Only their Boss had the courage and ability to help them realize their dreams.
Lin Zhong-qing had always been interacting with the logisticians so he knew how much the logisticians respected Ling Lan. They had already viewed themselves as a member of 250 Mecha Clan. Even if they became ace mecha masters in the future, they would not move to other mecha clans. This was how charismatic his Boss was. He was able to sway people to follow him and conquer the world with him, with just his actions.
Lin Zhong-qing wanted to leave and tell the logisticians this good news. However, Ling Lan called him before he could ask if he could be excused.
"Zhong-qing, you might need to work harder in the next few days. Try to save as many supplies the base gave us as you can," Ling Lan reminded Lin Zhong-qing that they might meet some troubles in the next few days.
Lin Zhong-qing’s gaze turned cold as he understood Ling Lan’s words. "Boss, do you mean that the commanding officer would stop giving us food and other supplies?"
"It’s impossible he wouldn’t do that," Li Lanfeng answered.
Lin Zhong-qing turned serious. "I understand. I will arrange everything."
"I trust you. However, don’t be too careful. He will not do things so blatantly. They will think of some reason to shut you up." Ling Lan said calmly, "As long as you are able to find a loophole, you can do anything you want and I will back you up."
Ling Lan was not afraid of whatever obstacles Du Mingyi could throw at her. She would be afraid if he didn’t do anything and gave 250 Ace Mecha Clan whatever they want, as it meant that he might give them a lethal blow at a crucial time. Hence, she wished that he would do more obstacles to 250 Ace Mecha Clan so she could get rid of him faster, only then she would feel at ease when she brings her mecha clan out to fight with their enemies.
Lin Zhong-qing smiled. "Yes, I understand. Boss, I will definitely complete this mission."
Ling Lan waved her hand and asked Lin Zhong-qing to go down to prepare for dinner.
After Lin Zhong-qing left, Ling Lan looked at Li Lanfeng, who hadn’t moved a single inch, and raised her eyebrows. "Shall we eat together?"
Li Lanfeng touched his chin instinctively. "They should have put my food in the team leader’s office." He wanted to eat with his rabbit but he was shy.
"Then go back and eat your food. I will not send you off." Ling Lan originally wasn’t planning to share her food with Li Lanfeng. The reason for that was because she had a huge appetite. The amount of food served to her was just enough for her. There was no extra. However, Li Lanfeng served her for the entire day so she couldn’t bear to chase him away like that. That was why she decided to be polite for once.
Li Lanfeng gave a bitter smile. He shouldn’t have rejected the offer. It was rare for him to have a chance to eat with Rabbit but he missed the chance, so he left the regiment commander’s office with some regret in his heart and closed the door behind him. He was afraid that Ling Lan’s table manners would scare the people that walked passed the office.
Although there was a dinner party for the entire mecha clan later, they needed to maintain their dining etiquette. They couldn’t eat too heartily. In Ling Lan’s office, Ling Lan patted her bloated stomach in satisfaction after burping out loud. It was hard to be a regiment commander.
