Ming Dynasty and New Rome and Infinite Magic Machine

Chapter 1304: Report
"Wow, are there really hot Coke for sale here?" Shangluo hadn't noticed that the vending machine at his door was so "versatile" that it even sold this kind of thing.

I packaged several bottles of drinks and delivered them one by one, and then a few more people came to sign up.

Everything went well next door, so he brought a hot Coke to the finance office. Lei Fu was sweeping the floor.

"Senior, here you go."

"Thanks. Ah, hot Coke, that's what I love."

"Can I ask why? People's appetites are really strange."

"The weather is cold where we are, so the drinks I drank since I was a child were all scalded."

"Is it that cold? Isn't it still quite hot in your place in the summer? So what do you drink in the summer?"

“I drink hot drinks in the summer, too.”

[What kind of people are these? Look at who you have recruited.]

"Um, Senior, let me tell you about our work."

It was the first time for Shangluo to discuss such work with someone other than an acquaintance.

Although he and Lei Fu were no strangers and had met several times at school before, this was the first time they communicated about work matters.

"The work we have to do here is both simple and complex. The first thing we need to purchase is mainly for our small group of people, and the quantity is very small."

"Don't worry, I've done the math at home, too. I was the one who did the math for the acres of cattle in our family, because I'm very fast at using a calculator. When I was in middle school, I stamped my own internship papers during the summer vacation."

"Ah! That's great. It turns out that our Imperial College is full of talented people. Could you please also arrange the purchase of torch fuel?"

"What are you purchasing?"

"Torch fuel. Haven't you heard of it?"

Lei Fu shook his head repeatedly: "This seems to be a secret. I don't think I can do it. Ah!"

He thought about it again. If he didn't do well in the first job he was assigned, would Shangluo look down on him? After all, he had seen the people who had come before him, and even the senior Han Xingsi had come in and knocked on the door for an interview.

He had to do the job no matter what.

"Actually, if I can't do it, I can ask someone else to come sit here. Look at the room across the street. There's a water dispenser there."

"Wait! Let me try first!"

Lei Fu picked up the phone and dialed his home number.

"Hello? Dad? It's me. I don't want money. I haven't finished eating the sunken vegetables. My girlfriend is blowing it. Oh, it's not that. Dad, I want to ask you, do you know where to buy torch?"

Suddenly, Shangluo saw Lei Fu's face become troubled.

"Hey! Dad, what's wrong with you? Why are you laughing?"

"My son has made it big! He can even take care of things like this! Who asked you to buy it?"

"I'm on my side." He glanced at Shangluo, "It's my superior."

"Easy. Leave your phone number and I'll call you from work later." "Oh," Lei Fu hung up the phone with a confused look on his face.

"Huh? What does your family do?" Shangluo asked in surprise.

"Liaodong military household, I told you before. My family grows crops, raises cattle, chickens, and ostriches. We raise a lot of things."

[Shangluo! There's a phone call coming in! It's from Daqing Oilfield! ]

"Huh???" Shangluo was stunned for a moment, "Does your father work in the oil field?"

"Really? Seems so?" Lei Fu looked up at the sky. "His workplace is quite far from home. He drives out every morning. I have never been to his workplace. They said it is confidential."

[That's right. The one calling is the Second Fuel Department of Daqing Oilfield. This seems to be a confidential code name. The so-called "Second Fuel" should mean spiritual energy fuel.]

Shangluo answered the phone: "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, hello. My last name is Lei, and I am the military chief of the Second Fuel Department. Thanks to your care, my son has become successful and has surpassed his father in business. May I ask what department your Excellency is in? Where is it located? How many people are there? What is the purpose of ordering our 'Second Fuel'?"

[Hey! Wait, he's using the military phone to report to the Jinyiwei! He's asking the Jinyiwei to track down your location. He thinks you're a strange person!]

"Wait! Mr. Lei? Please don't introduce yourself first. I am the Royal Guard."

"The King of Heaven and the Tiger of Earth?" the other side asked.

"A pagoda suppresses the river monster?"

"Nonsense! Do you think this is a den of bandits? The Imperial Guards don't have this kind of division at all. You've probably read too many comics. You sound young, how could you do such a big evil? I advise you to explain clearly, the Imperial Guards are already heading for you! Are you kidding? Torch fuel can be bought by just making a phone call???"

Five minutes later, Lu Huaiyang arrived. He took the phone, talked and laughed with the person on the other end for a while, and then handed the phone to Shangluo.

"Oh my! It's Shang Tianjun. I'm so sorry. Thanks to your care, my son has even managed to get more business than his father! It's really an honor for our whole family! Oh my, I'm so sorry just now. It was really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple."

[It’s understandable. If I knew that my son suddenly started doing confidential work, the source was still unclear, and he was recruiting in the capital, I would definitely report it to Jin. It would be strange if I didn’t report it to Jin.]

Shangluo didn't care. First of all, this military officer named Lei was very well-mannered. He didn't even scold him at this time. And he responded quickly and correctly, and had a high sense of confidentiality. This was exactly the person the department wanted to cooperate with.

Shangluo briefly introduced the affairs here and conveyed the news that he wanted to obtain torch fuel.

"Sorry, we don't have any extra here. But if you need it in Beijing, we can refill it on the spot."

"Eh? So it's so convenient?"

Shangluo heard the first half of the sentence and thought it would be troublesome to get this batch of fuel. After all, when they were racing before, they asked the "friendly team" to help them with the special fuel.

Shangluo thought that it would be very troublesome to make the torch fuel. Unexpectedly, it only required "adding" a part, just like opening a water pipe.

"That's right. Torch fuel is like vermicelli, which is originally starch. It is just a different form when it is made into Torch. In addition, it can be kept for a long time when not in use, but it must be eaten as soon as it is made, otherwise it will easily go bad. If Torch fuel goes bad, it will be very troublesome to destroy it, which is why we have set up a confidential "Second Fuel Department" here. Our Second Fuel Department is affiliated with the Seventh Branch of Shuntian Industry Department, and the entire department is confidential."

"So Mr. Lei, you are a member of the Royal Guards, right?"

"No, I was in the Imperial Guards Aviation Corps and returned home after retiring. But I know the captain Lu just now."
