Quartermasters can also fight the devils

As soon as they arrived at the door, the doorman greeted the four people with a fist and bowed, smiling and saying, "Commander Wang, Commander Hou, you two haven't been here for two days. You are ready to kill everyone today."

"Haha, that's right. We must kill everyone today." Wang Ping and Hou Xianhua were grinning from ear to ear, as if they had already won money.

"Then I would like to congratulate the two officers in advance. If you win money, don't forget to give me some of the bonus." The doorman who greeted guests was really sweet. He continued the conversation.

Zhang Wenwu didn't want to waste his breath at the door, so he walked straight in. Lei Dong saw it and immediately followed Zhang Wenwu's footsteps. Wang Ping and Hou Xianhua saw it and didn't waste time talking to the doorman, and walked into the hall.

After entering the hall and walking around a large screen, the appearance of the first-floor hall appeared in Zhang Wenwu's sight.

On the way here, Wang Ping and Hou Xianhua had already told Zhang Wenwu how good the decoration of Hongyun Casino was and how high-end it was. When he saw it with his own eyes, he was still a little shocked.

There are eight very advanced ceiling fans installed on the ceiling of the first floor lobby. This thing is now a high-end fashion item and is usually only found in the homes of senior executives or wealthy businessmen.

It's already June, and although the temperature is cooler at night, it's still a bit hot. But inside the hall, with so many people around, the temperature is still relatively cool.

There are some big wooden chairs on both sides of the hall. Between every two chairs, there is a small tea table with a pot of green plants on it. This is a place for guests who are tired from playing to rest. They can also sit on the side and call the service staff to serve a cup of tea or snacks.

Of course, tea and snacks are charged separately, which is really thoughtful.

As for the second floor, according to Wang Ping, it is a private room prepared for some big gamblers. It is relatively quiet inside, but there are also regulations on the gambling amount requirements.

In the hall, there were all kinds of gambling games, and there were many people around each gambling table. Many people stared at the gambling table with red eyes, and shouted various "slogans" loudly.

Zhang Wenwu was dragged by Wang Ping and Hou Xianhua to bet on two games. He lost one and won the other. He lost two yuan in French currency. Zhang Wenwu had no interest in gambling. After all, he was a person who had received modern education and knew that nine out of ten gambling games would lose, and bankruptcy was the final fate of gamblers.

Lei Dong also played two rounds of betting just now. He was lucky and won five French francs. Now he is happily counting the French francs in his hand, as if the money in his hand will become more if he bets a few more times.

When Zhang Wenwu saw Lei Dong's useless look, he couldn't help but feel ashamed. It was just a few dollars, but he was so happy. How could he follow him to improve himself in the future?

This is not Lei Dong's fault. This kid has only received full pay once since he joined the army, and that was after the 102nd Division was established in his new unit. In the previous ragtag division, he could only get about six oceans a month, which is less than eight yuan when converted into legal currency.

Zhang Wenwu kicked Lei Dong and gave him a look before he could react, telling him to get down to business and stop counting money.

When Lei Dong saw Zhang Wenwu's eyes, he realized that he came here tonight to do serious business. He quickly put the money in his hand into his pocket and walked deeper into the hall.

Seeing Lei Dong was doing business, Zhang Wenwu came to the left side of the hall, found an empty chair and sat down, called the waiter, threw a dollar of French currency over, and ordered a cup of tea and a plate of snacks. He rested while waiting for the result from Lei Dong.

Inside the hall, there were more than just the four of Zhang Wenwu wearing military uniforms. After sitting there for less than ten minutes, Zhang Wenwu saw seven or eight familiar-looking officers, all of whom were from the division headquarters.

Just as Zhang Wenwu was about to finish his cup of tea, Lei Dong came over quickly, approached Zhang Wenwu, and whispered, "Deputy Director Zhang, the matter has been settled, and someone will be here soon."

After listening to this, Zhang Wenwu nodded.

Just two minutes later, a man in his fifties, wearing a long silk gown, walked quickly towards Zhang Wenwu's table.

Zhang Wenwu rubbed his eyes vigorously. He looked at this man in a daze. Oh my god, they look too much alike. I'm afraid this is the twin brother of Mr. Ni. They look alike, too much alike, even their appearance is similar.

The middle-aged man in a long gown walked up to Zhang Wenwu, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Oh, I have long heard of Deputy Director Zhang's reputation. I have wanted to visit him for a long time, but I never thought that Deputy Director Zhang would come today. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I am sorry for not welcoming you."

Zhang Wenwu looked at the man and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"

"Deputy Director Zhang, my surname is Xue, my given name is Four, and I am the manager of this Hongyun Casino."

"So it's the famous Fourth Master Xue from Hongyun Casino. I'm sorry for my disrespect. I hope Fourth Master Xue will forgive me." Zhang Wenwu stood up and bowed to Fourth Master Xue.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you're welcome. Your presence here has already given Hongyun Casino a huge honor. Others would be hard pressed to invite a distinguished guest like you." Fourth Master Xue quickly waved his hand and said politely to Zhang Wenwu.

Fourth Master Xue's words were not exaggerated. Zhang Wenwu was the deputy director of the Quartermaster Department. Above him was the division chief of staff Zhao Dong. Deputy Director Zhang had a say in the procurement of materials for the entire division. There were many businessmen in Zhenjiang City who were eyeing Deputy Director Zhang and wanted to get in touch with him.

Of course, Xue Si was also one of these people. When his subordinates informed him that Deputy Director Zhang of the Quartermaster Department of the 102nd Division had arrived, he immediately put down his work and rushed over. He had to serve this master well and must not let him feel neglected.

Fourth Master Xue handed over a cigarette, and taking the opportunity to light it, he bent over and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if Deputy Director Zhang is here to tell me anything?"

Judging from his many years of experience in the underworld, Deputy Director Zhang must have come here for something. Otherwise, he wouldn't just be drinking tea here instead of playing cards.

Zhang Wenwu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Master Xue, is there a quieter place? This hall is too noisy."

Fourth Master Xue was startled. There really was something wrong, and it was not a small matter. He had to find a quiet place, which meant it was a big matter. So he quickly responded, "Yes, yes. There is a private room on the third floor. Deputy Director Zhang, how about we chat on the third floor?"

Zhang Wenwu nodded without saying anything and stood up. Fourth Master Xue quickly stretched out his hand to lead the way and walked towards the stairs.
