Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Looking at the soldiers busy carrying medical supplies in front of him, Zhang Wenwu was in a very good mood.

Fourth Master Xue also breathed a sigh of relief. In order to get these medical supplies quickly, he had been working tirelessly in Shanghai for the past two days to find connections. He finally got all the medical supplies on Zhang Wenwu's list together, and then rushed back without stopping. Finally, he delivered the supplies within the time he had promised.

"Thanks to Master Xue for your hard work this time. Without your help, this matter could not have been done so quickly. Master Xue, you are so honored." Seeing that Master Xue was like an elementary school student waiting for praise from his teacher, Zhang Wenwu praised him generously.

When Fourth Master Xue heard this, his back straightened a lot. Everyone in the underworld cares about his own face. Zhang Wenwu's praise really hit the point that Fourth Master Xue cared about the most.

"Deputy Director Zhang, this time we have purchased all the medical supplies according to your request and in the quantity on the list. In addition, the remaining money has been converted into French francs as you requested. According to the current market exchange rate, the total amount is 5,800 French francs. In order to thank Deputy Director Zhang for his care, I took the initiative to bring over 6,000 French francs to make up a lucky number." While introducing the situation, Fourth Master Xue waved his hand and asked someone to hand over a cloth bag, which was filled with French francs in denominations of five and ten yuan.

Zhang Wenwu gave Lei Dong a look. Lei Dong took the cloth bag, hid in the driver's seat, and started counting.

When Master Xue Si saw Lei Dong leave, he didn't care. Then he took out a dollar from his pocket and quietly handed it to Zhang Wenwu: "Deputy Director Zhang, this is a small gift from me. I hope you will accept it."

Zhang Wenwu glanced at Mr. Xue Si, who was full of expectation, and reached out to put the dollar into the pocket of his military pants.

It would be a waste if he didn't take the money. Otherwise, Mr. Xue would be embarrassed. He would take the money so that he could get closer to the enemy. Besides, if he gave the money to himself, it would also contribute more to the anti-Japanese war in the future. It would be much better than Mr. Xue spending it himself. Well, it's not because he is greedy, absolutely not.

Seeing that Zhang Wenwu accepted the money he gave him, Mr. Xue Si was also happy. He was thinking about getting along better with this Deputy Director Zhang, hoping that he would think more of him in the future when there was anything. Maybe they could even have bigger cooperation, and then he would make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Xue Siye suddenly had an idea, waved his hand to call a subordinate, and whispered something in his ear. After the subordinate left, Xue Siye said to Zhang Wenwu who was watching the transportation of materials: "Deputy Director Zhang, when I went to Shanghai this time, I happened to see an item. When I saw it, the first thing that came to my mind was Deputy Director Zhang's heroic figure, so I bought it and wanted to give it to Deputy Director Zhang."

Zhang Wenwu was a little confused when he heard what Fourth Master Xue said. The supplies had arrived, the remaining money had been delivered, and the private benefits for him had been received. Was there anything else he wanted to give him? He looked at Fourth Master Xue curiously and said:

"Oh? What is it that makes Fourth Master Xue think of me first, hehe."

At this time, the subordinate who had just left happened to come over with a black wooden box in his hand. Zhang Wenwu looked at the surface of the box carefully. Apart from the black paint, he could not tell what was inside. He turned his head and looked at Mr. Xue Si in confusion.

Fourth Master Xue laughed, took the wooden box from his subordinate, and handed it to Zhang Wenwu: "Deputy Director Zhang, how about you take a look yourself?"

Zhang Wenwu saw that the old man was still playing a riddle to him, so he reached out to take the black wooden box. He held the bottom of the box with his left hand and gently opened the box with his right hand. After seeing the items in the box, Zhang Wenwu was delighted. Wow, this old man is capable.

What Mr. Xue Si gave Zhang Wenwu was a Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver, and in the box there was a cowhide holster and fifty rounds of ammunition. Zhang Wenwu was so pleased.

Although Zhang Wenwu received his own pistol when he reported for duty, it was a 1911-shot mirror-box pistol, commonly known as a Mauser pistol. Senior officers used Colt pistols, but the Military and Political Department did not issue enough such pistols. It was not known whether they were out of stock or had not been issued in time.

The gun given by Mr. Xue Si just met Zhang Wenwu's needs, which could be said to be exactly what he wanted.

Zhang Wenwu quickly closed the box and said contentedly, "Master Xue's gift is very thoughtful. I would like to thank Master Xue for his gift. In the future, I will definitely do more business with Master Xue."

When Mr. Xue Si saw that Zhang Wenwu was very satisfied with his gift and promised to do business with him in the future, he felt that his gift was not in vain and he had made a huge profit.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you are too kind. It is said since ancient times that a sword is given to a hero. It is a blessing for a young and promising talent like Deputy Director Zhang to be able to use this pistol. Deputy Director Zhang, rest assured, as long as I, Xue, can be of any use in the future, Deputy Director Zhang will give you instructions at any time. I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly."

Zhang Wenwu and Xue Siye both achieved what they wanted, and were in a very good mood, so they chatted with each other. Lei Dong hid in the car, counted the cash, and came over to report to Zhang Wenwu: "Deputy Director, all the materials have been moved, what do you think...?"

Lei Dong didn't finish his words. He came here just to report to Zhang Wenwu that the materials had been loaded and the money was fine. As for whether to go back now, it was entirely up to Zhang Wenwu to decide. He didn't know if Zhang Wenwu wanted to talk to Mr. Xue Siye about something else.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenwu turned around and clasped his fists towards Master Xue Si and said, "Master Xue Si, the goods have been traded. I'm sorry to bother you running back and forth. I won't disturb your rest time. When I have time, I'll go to Hongyun Casino to express my gratitude." After saying that, he did not forget to return the IOU that Master Xue Si had given him a few days ago.

When Fourth Master Xue saw Zhang Wenwu was about to leave, he did not try to persuade him to stay. He was really exhausted these past few days and needed to go back and have a good rest. He also asked Chunfeng Tower to arrange two girls to come over so that he could relax.

Thinking of this, he took the IOU handed over by Zhang Wenwu and said politely: "Deputy Director Zhang is very busy, so I will not bother you anymore. I will take my leave first. In a few days, when Deputy Director Zhang is free, please come to Hongyun Casino. I will be the host and will treat Deputy Director Zhang well."

After Zhang Wenwu and Xue Siye exchanged some pleasantries, they led a group of people back in a truck. He also had to arrange for people to put the medical supplies in the warehouse of the Quartermaster Department, and he had to re-count the quantity with Lei Dong. In addition, he had to make another account book overnight to submit to Zhao Dong for review.
