Spending Lin Chenran's Money, Building My Own Relationships

Chapter 44: Spending Lin Chenran's Money, Going Your Own Way

Kovalevitch and Alexander returned together, finding Lin Chenran.

"Lin, the Mi-26 helicopter is ready. We can leave this barren land of scrapped tanks," Kovalevitch said with a smile as he approached Lin Chenran.

Lin Chenran looked at him and nodded, "Okay, we can depart."

Then, everyone got into a jeep and left the area.

After a while, they returned to the original helipad.

Just as they were about to leave, a smile appeared on Lin Chenran's face, and he said to Alexander, "I've left some small gifts for you and your soldiers."

Alexander was taken aback but still nodded with a smile, "Oh? What gifts?"

Lin Chenran continued, "Kovalevitch will deliver them to you later."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of anticipation flashed in Alexander's eyes, and he asked curiously, "What are they?"

Lin Chenran smiled and replied, "There's a small amount of strong liquor and some canned fruits."

Alexander's eyes lit up when he heard this, his heart filled with pleasant surprise.

He knew both items were very popular domestically and quite scarce. Most importantly: they were free!

Seeing Alexander's expression, Lin Chenran's lips curved slightly as he continued, "You've worked hard guarding this place. This is just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you like them."

In reality, Lin Chenran had another motive for doing this – to win over Alexander.

Alexander was in charge of this barren land of scrapped tanks. With him on his side, Lin Chenran's plan could be implemented more smoothly.

Everyone in Mao Xiong Country couldn't do without strong liquor, especially during the cold winter. A shot of fiery liquor could bring warmth.

Canned fruits were even more precious. At this time of year, fruits could barely grow, and the people of Mao Xiong Country could only taste them through cans.

By gifting these two items, Lin Chenran could not only satisfy the needs of Alexander and the stationed soldiers but also make them feel his sincerity and care.

This place was located in a barren land of scrapped tanks, and high-ranking military officials rarely visited, let alone brought any comfort.

Now, Lin Chenran was not only treating the soldiers to their favorite Vodka but also sending a batch of strong liquor and canned fruits.

This was undoubtedly a form of respect and care for these soldiers.

Alexander glanced at Kovalevitch beside him, awaiting the latter's next response.

Seeing this, Kovalevitch secretly rejoiced, thinking, This kid is teachable!

Kovalevitch then smiled, a hint of approval in his eyes, "Alexander, since Lin wants to give you some supplies, you should accept them!"

Alexander was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Lin Chenran to express his gratitude.

A smile spread across his face, his eyes filled with gratitude, and he saluted Lin Chenran, "Thank you, Comrade, for your concern for the soldiers stationed here."

At this moment, his favorability towards Lin Chenran increased again, rising from friendly to respectful.

He realized that Lin Chenran was not just an ordinary guest but a friend worth befriending.

Lin Chenran responded with a smile, "You're welcome. This is a token of appreciation for heroes."

He knew these soldiers had been stationed here for a long time, enduring harsh environments and pressure.

This delivery of supplies was just one way he expressed his respect, but for these soldiers, it was a warm gesture of care.

He hoped that through such actions, he could shorten the distance between them and build a better relationship.

When he needed something in the future, they might turn a blind eye.

This would facilitate Lin Chenran's subsequent actions!

Lin Chenran waved his hand, saying it casually.

Lin Chenran, Kovalevitch, and Alexander were all very satisfied with this outcome.

Everyone benefited!

In other words: a triple win!

"Alexander, see you next time!"

Lin Chenran smiled and bid farewell to Alexander, then turned and followed the others onto the massive Mi-26 helicopter.

Alexander stood still, watching them depart.

He straightened his back and solemnly saluted them.

"Rumble rumble rumble!"

With a deafening roar of the engines, the Mi-26 helicopter began to start up and gradually ascend.

The powerful airflow generated by the spinning giant propellers kicked up a cloud of dust, but it did not affect the aircraft's smooth takeoff.

Shortly after, the Mi-26 helicopter carried Lin Chenran and the others away from the barren land of scrapped tanks.

Next, they would embark on another destination, heading towards the location of Mao Xiong Country's decommissioned naval warships.

Lin Chenran sat inside the Mi-26 helicopter, admiring the magnificent scenery below through the window.

After admiring the view, he turned to converse with Kovalevitch.

"Kovalevitch, I might have overstepped this time, but it's all for the sake of better cooperation going forward."

Lin Chenran's voice held a hint of apology.

He was referring to the recent incident of bribing Alexander and gifting supplies.

He didn't want to leave any dissatisfaction or doubts in Kovalevitch's mind.

This was because all transactions with the Bear Country relied on Kovalevitch.

And if anything was needed later, it would also be through him.

"Lin, you didn't overstep. If you hadn't taken those actions, I would have ended up distributing some of the supplies to the scrapped retired military bases anyway. Only by doing so can those soldiers willingly serve us."

Kovalevitch said understandingly.

Kovalevitch was no fool; he knew that Lin Chenran's actions not only saved him expenses but also helped him win the soldiers' gratitude.

It was a win-win situation!

Not only did it save him a sum of money, but it also made the soldiers feel grateful towards him.

He didn't mind Lin Chenran continuing to do such a good deed in front of him.

Lin Chenran felt slightly relieved after hearing this.

He had originally worried that Kovalevitch would be dissatisfied with his actions.

But now it seemed Kovalevitch completely understood and supported him.

Their relationship had become even closer because of this.

Spending Lin Chenran's money while leveraging his own connections.

Why wouldn't he?

Kovalevitch should be thanking Lin Chenran!

Seeing this, Lin Chenran smiled.

"Kovalevitch, thank you for your understanding."

Not long after, Lin Chenran and Kovalevitch arrived at the Bear Country's naval ship scrapping and retirement site.

Looking down from the Mi-26 helicopter!

It was a vast expanse of sea, with many abandoned, retired warships docked around.

The sea breeze howled past, carrying a salty taste.

Sunlight shone on the sea, sparkling and reflecting dazzling light.

Soon, the Mi-26 helicopter slowly landed.

At this moment, the officer stationed there respectfully saluted.

He then led Lin Chenran and the others to a location.

Kovalevitch pointed to two retired, scrapped warships in front of them: "Lin, these are two retired and scrapped warships. You can take them back to Yan Country for dismantling."

Lin Chenran: "This..."
