There were millions of soldiers in Soldier City. Of course, there were places where the soldiers went to relax and shop. The most luxurious commercial street in Soldier City was not much different from the commercial streets in other cities. The only difference was that the people who shopped and provided services on the street were all soldiers.
Normal merchants were not allowed to enter Soldier City. The shops here belonged to the purchasing department of the military. The goods inside were all supplied by the military. The quality was guaranteed and much better than the normal goods outside. Not only that, but the prices here were also quite cheap.
This caused the soldiers in Soldier City to spend their monthly salary here to buy the things they needed or to stock up on goods. After the three years (five years) were up, he would definitely bring it back with him. Even if he didn't use it himself, it would be great to give it away. Ordinary people might not even have the means to buy it even if they wanted to.
Today, this street was extra lively. Other than the soldiers who were stationed in Soldier City, there were more people who came to shop. The top ten mecha clans that received awards also took the opportunity to buy some things. Compared to the mecha clans they were in, the things in Soldier City were more affordable. If they didn't prepare some gifts, they might not be able to pass the test if they met their brothers and sisters who were sharpening their swords.
There were millions of soldiers in Soldier City. There were female soldiers but the ratio was too low. However, there were many shops in Soldier City that catered to females. Everyone knew that except for some of the younger ones, which one of the men here didn't have a woman behind them? Even if they weren't wives, they were still girlfriends or lovers. In order to make their loved ones happy, it was necessary to buy some gifts. Hence, the business of these shops was still very good.
The moment Han Xuya and Luo Chao arrived at the commercial street, they were attracted by the dazzling array of shops in front of them. If it wasn't for the fact that their boss was beside them so they didn't dare to act rashly, they would have cheered and rushed into a shop to shop.
The salary that they hadn't used for a year was enough for them to go on a shopping spree here. Moreover, they had also received a huge red packet from their boss, 100,000 credits … It was almost the same amount as their salary for a year. This allowed them to go shopping without any worries.
Sob, Boss really dotes on them. Han Xuya and Luo Chao were touched.
Compared to the shy Luo Chao, Han Xuya was much more scheming. After she received the red packet, she didn't forget to secretly ask her friends in the team. Hehe, those stinky men only got 50,000 credits, which was half of what they got. Boss's favoritism was so obvious that the two girls, who knew the truth, were secretly delighted. The two smart girls, of course, wouldn't foolishly show off and cause trouble for their boss. However, the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter, attracting the attention of many soldiers on the street.
Because of this shopping trip, the members of Lingtian received a big bonus from Boss Ling Lan. They were all overjoyed. Of course, they were also touched that their boss was so selfless and generous to them.
Uh … Actually, Ling Lan was so generous because she had been helping these little brothers and sisters manage their living expenses and forbade them from spending it recklessly. In the end, she used the remaining credits every month to let Little Four help her manage their investments. After all these years, almost everyone had assets worth tens of millions of credits.
However, in order to not let these little fellows be confused by this sudden wealth, Ling Lan didn't tell them the real amount of money they had with her. This time, she was being generous because everyone performed well during the land clearing mission. That was why Ling Lan asked Little Four to give them a little more pocket money.
Therefore, these red packets weren't what they thought they were. They didn't belong to Boss. These red packets actually belonged to them … Just like that, a group of innocent children who didn't know the truth gave themselves to their Boss for free. They didn't regret it for the rest of their lives.
Although Lingtian went shopping together, they didn't go with Ling Lan, Han Xuya, Luo Chao, and the others. Although the temptation of going shopping with Boss was very big, the seemingly fearless Lingtian boys were all defeated by Han Xuya's fierce glare and left.
Therefore, this time, there were really only three girls, Ling Lan, Luo Chao, and Han Xuya (What's going on?). Of course, on the surface, it was a boy hugging two girls. This made the soldiers who didn't have girlfriends jealous. They wanted to replace him. However, Ling Lan's cold aura made these soldiers not dare to act rashly.
Ling Lan noticed Han Xuya and Luo Chao looking at her with longing eyes. As expected, girls couldn't resist those beautiful accessories and clothes. Even if they were soldiers and didn't use these things for a year, they still couldn't resist this temptation.
Ling Lan nodded. They were the only two girls in the team. Of course, she had to satisfy their needs. Ling Lan forgot that she was also a girl. No wonder Mother Ling Lan was so angry. The five years in the military academy made Ling Lan even more distant from the world of girls.
After entering the shop, they saw that the counters in the shop were filled with accessories, clothes, and all kinds of small accessories that were currently popular in the Federation. Even if Ling Lan didn't have any interest in these things, she was a little tempted now.
However, when the three of them entered the shop, a few staff who were chatting in the shop seemed to be frightened. They immediately ran to the corner and didn't dare to appear in front of them.
"Boss, restrain the cold aura. Don't scare them." Han Xuya knew that something was wrong. If there was no one to serve them, what were they going to buy? She quickly pulled Ling Lan's sleeve and reminded her boss not to throw the warm atmosphere of the shop into the cold winter.
Ling Lan came to a realization. These shop attendants were not real soldiers. They were just normal people with military records. They couldn't resist the force of presence she was emitting. This was also why when they came in, the shop attendants were like frightened rabbits, hiding in all directions.
Ling Lan had no choice but to remove the cold aura around her. The temperature of the shop, which had dropped a few degrees, instantly returned to its original warm temperature. One of the girls seemed to have felt the change in temperature in the air. She couldn't help but look over curiously.
She saw three different female soldiers (?) with different styles. Standing at the door, one was gentle like water, one was handsome and pretty, and one was not fully grown yet. Her face was slightly childish, but her gender was unknown. She was extremely androgynous. Just by standing there, she was the focus of everyone's attention.
This made the girl a little confused. Why were they so scared that they ran away just now? At that time, she only felt a wave of fear in her heart. It was as if a big leader had come to inspect them, so she didn't dare to look at them. She just ran to the corner and pretended to be busy with work to escape the disaster. Now, it seemed that they were too paranoid. Thinking about it, it wasn't very appropriate for them to gather and chat together just now.
The staff in the shop finally found an explanation. Since they were customers, she walked out boldly and came in front of the three of them. She greeted them warmly, "Officers, how can I help you?"
In Soldier City, other than the staff in the shop, everyone else was in the military. If one wanted to enter Soldier City as a staff in the shop, it was impossible for them to enter without a solid military background. The female staff quickly glanced at the three of them. She knew that two of the girls were second lieutenants. The other person's gender was unknown, but he was a major. This made her very surprised. At first, she thought that the two sisters brought their younger brother or sister to buy something. Now, it seemed like she was wrong.
The staff who knew their military ranks was even more respectful. Although there were many junior officers in Soldier City and they weren't worth much, major officers still had a certain status. She didn't dare to offend them carelessly.
"Boss, Luo Chao and I will go and pick something. Why don't you find a place to sit and wait for us?" Although Han Xuya wanted to start picking things immediately, she didn't dare to leave her boss behind. She didn't want to anger her boss and make things difficult for her in the future.
When the salesperson heard the two girls asking another person to wait at the side, she became anxious. If more people bought from her, she would have more sales. She hurriedly asked, "Sir, don't you like the things in our store?"
Ling Lan shook her head. It wasn't that she didn't like them. It was just that with her current status, she didn't need them at all.
Seeing Ling Lan's reply, the staff was disappointed. She glanced at Ling Lan's childish face and suddenly had an idea. She quickly introduced, "Officer, we have a doll area on the second floor. You can go up there and walk around. Also, our resting area is on the second floor. If you get tired, you can rest there."
Luo Chao heard the staff's introduction and knew that the staff must have misunderstood something. She giggled and glanced at her boss with her big watery eyes. She didn't expect her boss to look like this after he restrained his aura. Luo Chao's beautiful face blushed. She believed that only she and Xuya knew about her boss's appearance …
Luo Chao instinctively looked at Han Xuya. She realized that the carefree Han Xuya didn't notice the changes on her boss. Luo Chao couldn't control the sweetness in her heart. Perhaps, she was the only one who knew her boss's true appearance. Could this be considered a secret between her and her boss?
Just as Luo Chao was immersed in her pink bubble, Han Xuya laughed heartily. "Haha, you're so funny. You actually let our boss walk around the doll area. Boss isn't a girl. Why would she like the things that we girls like?"
Han Xuya's unintentional throwing knife directly stabbed Ling Lan …
Who said that I'm not a girl? Alright, on the surface, I'm not a girl. But you can't say that I don't like dolls because of this, right? Erm, indeed, the image I created has nothing to do with dolls. Ling Lan was furious. She turned around and walked towards the second floor. She decided to ignore Han Xuya who was laughing happily about this matter. She didn't want to kill Han Xuya because her hands were itching.
