Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Zhang Wenwu didn't know what Fourth Master Xue was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He was just thinking about making the deal quickly and getting the medical supplies and money as soon as possible.

So he stopped being polite with Master Xue Si and instructed Wang Gui, who had followed him, to arrange for the soldiers to move the supplies on the vehicles to the middle and hand them over to Master Xue Si's men to count the quantity.

Wang Gui asked the soldiers to move the boxes of supplies on the vehicle to the open space in the middle, and then told all the soldiers to retreat to the back of the vehicle and start to be on guard. He also retreated to the side of the vehicle, put his hand on the "20-shot" gun on his belt, and paid attention to the movements around him.

When Master Xue Si saw this, he didn't say much. He waved his hand and several of his men with guns on their waists came up from behind and asked them to randomly open a box of opium and check it.

Zhang Wenwu did not urge him, knowing that this was a necessary transaction process. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Mr. Xue Si, then lit one himself and watched the men check the opium in silence.

Ten minutes later, one of the leaders came to Fourth Master Xue and said in front of Zhang Wenwu, "Fourth Master Xue, the goods are fine and the quantity is correct."

When Mr. Xue Si heard that there was no problem with the goods, the smile on his face became even more intense. He quickly took out the receipt and IOU that he had already written from his pocket and handed them respectfully to Zhang Wenwu with both hands.

Because Zhang Wenwu asked to buy medical supplies first, and the remaining money would be given to him together with the supplies. Therefore, this time, Xue Siye could only write him a receipt and an IOU. Xue Siye was going to give a part of the deposit, but Zhang Wenwu refused generously and made it clear that he believed in Xue Siye's character, which made Xue Siye very excited at the time, and he patted his chest loudly.

But Mr. Xue Si was sensible and wrote the IOU in advance. It also showed his attitude. If someone trusted him, he should show his attitude.

Zhang Wenwu took the IOU, glanced at it briefly, and put it in his coat pocket.

He didn't care about Fourth Master Xue's cautious actions, but he was satisfied with his attitude. He wasn't afraid that Fourth Master Xue would run away. The Hongyun Casino and the Chunfeng Building next to it were all his assets. Where could he run away? Besides, this was a good way for Fourth Master Xue to make money. Why would he run away?

When Master Xue Si saw Zhang Wenwu accept his IOU, he knew that the transaction was successfully completed. He quickly asked his men to move the goods to a truck he had brought over, ready to ship it to the buyer in Shanghai overnight. He had several sellers of this kind, and today during the day, he had contacted the one with the highest bid and set a delivery time. He was waiting to send the goods over as soon as he got them.

Mr. Xue Si would not waste any more time, as he had to go to Shanghai in person and handle the transaction personally.

"Deputy Director Zhang, I'll take my leave now. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result within three days at the latest." Seeing that the goods had been moved, Mr. Xue bowed to Zhang Wenwu and said goodbye.

Zhang Wenwu did not exchange too many pleasantries with Fourth Master Xue. He smiled and clasped his fists in return: "Then I will not waste Fourth Master Xue's time here. I will wait for your good news."

"Please rest assured, Deputy Director Zhang, I will live up to your trust. If not, I, Xue, will do whatever you want." Xue Siye said nothing more. He clasped his fists to Zhang Wenwu, turned around and got on the American General Motors car that he had bought at a high price. He told the driver to drive and drove all the way to Shanghai. His men behind him also got on the truck behind them and drove away with the car.

Zhang Wenwu watched Xue Siye's convoy go away, then turned around and called to Wang Gui, asking all the soldiers to get on the cars. It was dark in the suburbs and there was no place to stay. Besides, there were still a lot of mosquitoes, so they had to go back quickly.

The next morning, Zhang Wenwu reported the current progress to Chief of Staff Zhao Dong. Seeing that Zhang Wenwu had made progress so quickly, Zhao Dong praised Zhang Wenwu and asked him to keep up the good work and finish it. After that, he would definitely give him credit.

At the same time, he also revealed a piece of news to Zhang Wenwu that in a few days, the division commander and deputy division commander would come back from the troops they were stationed at, and a meeting of all officers above the company level in the division would be held at that time, asking him to be prepared. He also hinted to Zhang Wenwu that it would be best to complete the transaction before the meeting, as it would be of great use at that time.

He knew that the division commander and the deputy division commander had gone to the troops to stay. In a few days, the two big guys would come back and hold an officers' meeting, which showed that the speed of the troops' reorganization was still good. He had to complete this as soon as possible to leave a good impression on the big guys that he could get things done.

However, Zhang Wenwu had to wait now whether he was in a hurry or not. He had no choice but to wait for Fourth Master Xue to come back to complete the final transaction.

During these two days, Zhang Wenwu handled daily affairs step by step. However, every night, he would go to Hongyun Casino to see if Fourth Master Xue had returned. Once Fourth Master Xue returned, he would report to him immediately.

After dinner on the third day, Zhang Wenwu was smoking and walking in the yard, wondering if the progress of Fourth Master Xue was going smoothly, when he saw a guard running in to report that someone was looking for him outside the division headquarters. Zhang Wenwu immediately thought that it was someone sent by Fourth Master Xue, and immediately called Lei Dong to rush to the division headquarters gate.

As soon as I walked out of the division headquarters gate, I saw a middle-aged man in a black shirt sticking his head looking into the door.

Zhang Wenwu recognized this man. During the last transaction, this man had been following Fourth Master Xue. Seeing Zhang Wenwu coming out, the middle-aged man hurriedly approached and whispered, "Deputy Director Zhang, I am here on Fourth Master's orders to inform you that the things you want have arrived. Fourth Master is waiting for you at the old place now."

Zhang Wenwu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the middle-aged man say that the goods had arrived. He quickly turned to Lei Dong and ordered, "Lei Dong, go find Captain Wang and ask him to bring some people over. Also, go to the transport company and ask them to send two vehicles. I'll be waiting at the entrance of the division headquarters."

"Yes, Deputy Director Zhang." Lei Dong heard the order and trotted back to the division headquarters to call for help.

After Zhang Wenwu finished arranging things, he turned around and said to the middle-aged man with a smile: "Thank you for coming to inform me, brother. Please tell Fourth Master Xue that we will set off soon. Please wait there for a while."

"You're too polite, Commander Zhang. I'll go back and report to the Fourth Master and convey your message." The middle-aged man gave Zhang Wenwu a fist bump, then quickly walked to a car parked at the corner of the street and drove away.

Zhang Wenwu knew that this car belonged to Fourth Master Xue. It seemed that Fourth Master Xue had just arrived and immediately sent someone to take his car back to report the news. This old man was quite particular about his work, not bad.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you are standing at the gate of the division headquarters late at night and feeding mosquitoes," just as Zhang Wenwu was sighing, the medical team leader Lin Changbing walked towards the division headquarters from the door of the medical team.

Zhang Wenwu smiled and teased Lin Changbing: "Captain Lin, I have thick skin, and mosquitoes can't bite me, haha."

Lin Changbing also agreed with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhang, how is the matter with our medical team going?" He had to find a topic to embarrass him, otherwise he would not be his opponent if he didn't compare his thick skin. From the bad idea that Deputy Director Zhang gave him, he knew that this guy was not ordinary thick-skinned. He was also confused at the time and actually did it according to his method. It was ridiculous to think about it.

"Haha, Captain Lin, things are almost done. The result will be known tonight." Zhang Wenwu replied proudly.

"Ah? Really? Deputy Director Zhang? Don't try to make me happy." Lin Changbing suddenly became interested. He got such good news unintentionally.

Before Zhang Wenwu could reply, Wang Gui ran out of the division headquarters with a row of soldiers fully armed. Almost at the same time, two large trucks drove in from the street and stopped at the entrance of the division headquarters. Lei Dong jumped down from the passenger seat of a car and ran to Zhang Wenwu to report: "Deputy Director, the car has arrived."

When Zhang Wenwu saw that everyone had arrived, he quickly asked Wang Gui to organize the soldiers to get on the bus, and he walked towards the first bus, saying without turning his head: "Captain Lin, come and get the supplies tomorrow. Remember to bring the female nurse, haha."
