Quartermasters can also fight the devils

After lunch, Zhang Wenwu asked Lei Dong to deliver all the melon seeds to Kong Lina. He moved his chair outside to the eaves, leaned his legs against the pillars, squinted his eyes, enjoyed the coolness under the eaves, and took a nap. He had to keep himself alert for the dinner party in the evening, which would be a tough battle.

Zhang Wenwu slept for less than an hour, and the sound of thunder woke him up. He looked at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was already 1:50 in the afternoon. He rubbed his eyes and went into the house to call Liu Zhengchuan, the owner of Wangyue Tower, asking him to reserve the largest private room and inform him of the approximate number of people who would attend the dinner, asking him to prepare. He also told him that he would bring the pass he asked for to him in the evening.

Then, he called Xue Siye again and told him that there might be a superior who needed him to make arrangements in the evening, and asked him to be prepared. Well, Zhang Wenwu didn't believe that everyone was just having a simple meal or something. If that was the case, it could be done at the division headquarters. Why go out? You have to find out what the superiors really think.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Wenwu asked Lei Dong to take the pass given to Liu Zhengchuan to Wangyue Tower to see how the preparations were going. He waited until 5 o'clock before closing the door of the quartermaster's office and waiting at the entrance of the division headquarters hall.

When Zhang Wenwu arrived at the entrance of the division headquarters hall, the door was still closed. It seemed that the meeting had not yet ended. The officers who had attended the meeting in the morning were already waiting outside the door, gathering in groups of three or four to smoke and chat.

"Zhang Wenwu, here." Kong Lina was standing under the big tree at the door, waving to Zhang Wenwu, motioning him to come over.

Zhang Wenwu walked over to Kong Lina and joked, "Miss Kong really knows how to find a cool place. By the way, how about the melon seeds? They taste good, right?"

"Well, it's delicious. Everyone said thank you to Deputy Director Zhang for the melon seeds." Kong Lina replied happily.

Zhang Wenwu stood under the tree with Kong Lina, waiting for the meeting to end while chatting about all sorts of things. It was not until thirty minutes later that the door to the hall opened, and a group of officers came out of the hall, escorting Division Commander Huang Jinxian.

When Zhang Wenwu saw the hall door open, he hurriedly trotted to the front of the big guys and saluted, saying, "Report to the commander, the dinner location has been arranged, and we can set off at any time."

"Okay, everyone has been busy in meetings all day, so let's have a good meal out tonight to reward everyone," Huang Jinxian said to everyone with a smile.

Zhang Wenwu quickly led the way and walked towards Wangyue Tower.

Since Wangyue Tower was not far away, Huang Jinxian suggested that everyone walk there together and take a walk. How could everyone disagree? So a large group of officers walked on the street, but there were soldiers in front and behind to protect them and clear the way.

Liu Zhengchuan had already sent people to keep watch near the 102nd Division headquarters. When he saw a large group of officers coming towards Wangyue Tower, he immediately ran back to report the news. Liu Zhengchuan, who received the news, and Lei Dong, who had arrived here a long time ago, stood at the door waiting. The waiters and the manager of the restaurant also stood on both sides, waiting to welcome the officers.

When Huang Jinxian and his companions were about to reach the entrance of the restaurant, Liu Zhengchuan and Lei Dong hurried over to greet them. When Zhang Wenwu saw them, he introduced them to Huang Jinxian: "Commander, this is Liu Zhengchuan, the owner of Wangyue Tower."

Huang Jinxian hummed, nodded to Liu Wenzheng, and walked into the gate of Wangyue Tower without saying a word. If Zhang Wenwu hadn't introduced him, he wouldn't even bother to say "hmm". He was just a businessman, not qualified enough to be taken seriously. As for Liu Zhengchuan's business with the Quartermaster Department, Zhao Dong had told him about it, but so what, Liu Wenzheng's family was not the only one that could do this business.

The shopkeeper quickly bowed and led the way, bringing the officers to a private room on the third floor. This private room was actually the one above the one where Zhang Wenwu had dined last time, but it was a little bigger and connected to the other two private rooms, so it had no problem accommodating all these officers, and the layout inside was also very attentive and exquisite.

Huang Jinxian took a look at the private room and nodded with satisfaction: "Wenwu, you chose a good place, well done."

Zhang Wenwu quickly asked: "Commander, do you think we should serve the dishes now or later?" He had given himself a clear positioning today, which was to satisfy his superiors.

Huang Jinxian walked to the window facing the street and looked down. "Well, it's good, the view is also very good. Wenwu, let them serve the food. By the way, everyone has been working hard recently. Since we are going out to eat, we can't stop drinking. It's a rare opportunity to relax."

At this time, Chief of Staff Zhao Dong also joked loudly: "Today, you, the "little god of wealth", have to make sure that we have enough food and drink, haha."

After hearing what Zhao Dong said, everyone started to joke around. They all knew Zhang Wenwu's nickname, "Little God of Wealth". At noon, the big pieces of fat meat in everyone's bowls were obtained by this "Little God of Wealth". Everyone gave enough face to the actual person in charge of the Quartermaster Department.

Zhang Wenwu waved his hands awkwardly at everyone and said, "You are joking, sirs. You are joking, sirs." Then he quickly walked out of the private room and asked the restaurant to serve the dishes quickly.

In a private room, the shopkeeper from last time was waiting not far from the door. When he saw Zhang Wenwu coming out, he hurried over and asked, "Chief Zhang, do you have any instructions?"

Zhang Wenwu thought it was a good arrangement. He didn't have to run up and down the stairs. He smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, first serve all kinds of cakes and fruits. Then arrange for the dishes to be served, and also bring up some of the best wine."

After listening to Zhang Wenwu's explanation, the shopkeeper nodded quickly, turned around and arranged for someone to handle it.

Seeing that the shopkeeper had gone to work, Zhang Wenwu walked over to Lei Dong, who was smoking at the stairs, asked for a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, then instructed Lei Dong: "You will have to work hard in a while, keep an eye on it, and don't let anyone disturb the officers' fun."

Lei Dong quickly said that it was no problem, he had already eaten in the restaurant in advance, and he would be here to watch while the officers were having dinner. In addition, he also reported to Zhang Wenwu that the pass had been given to Liu Zhengchuan, and Liu Zhengchuan said that they could start the official "shipping" in the next two days.

Zhang Wenwu nodded. As long as Liu Zhengchuan's business got going, his Quartermaster Department would not be short of money and all plans could be implemented smoothly.

Wangyue Tower was moving very fast. Several waiters were already on the third floor carrying all kinds of cakes and fruits. After Zhang Wenwu explained to Lei Dong, he turned around and went into the private room to report. Report more and ask for instructions more often. This is a respect for the leaders. What should be done must be done in place.

"Commander, deputy commander, I have asked the restaurant to serve the dishes as soon as possible, and I have also arranged for them to have the best wine. I am worried that the officers may be a little hungry after working all afternoon, so I asked them to bring up some cakes and fruits so that you can moisten your mouths first." Zhang Wenwu walked up to Huang Jinxian and Qi Xingfa who were chatting and said.

The two bosses were very satisfied with Zhang Wenwu's arrangement and let Zhang Wenwu take a rest. Huang Jinxian seemed to be in a very good mood and even joked with Zhang Wenwu that he wanted Zhang Wenwu to drink a few more glasses later.

Zhang Wenwu did not answer. He scratched his head with a smile and left. He had nothing else to do for the time being, so he could take a short rest.

Zhang Wenwu took a cup of tea from the table and took a sip. The officers were chatting in twos and threes. Lai, the brigade commander of the 210th Brigade, was talking to two of his regiment commanders. Judging from the expressions of the two regiment commanders, it must be a good thing. Didn't you see how bright their eyes were? Chief of Staff Zhao Dong was chatting with the commander of the independent regiment. It was estimated that in a few days, the independent regiment would have a formal number. Kong Lina was talking with Liao Qian's group of people from the political department. They came to the division headquarters together and were naturally relatively familiar with each other.

After drinking tea for a while, the food and wine were almost ready. Zhang Wenwu reminded Huang Jinxian, and Huang Jinxian invited everyone to take their seats. Zhang Wenwu sat at the same table with the attendees from the division. Of course, he was naturally called by Kong Lina to sit next to her. Liao Qian, who was standing next to him, kept curling up his lips and tried hard not to laugh out loud. Zhang Wenwu didn't care about him. He was making a fuss about nothing. Do you understand charm?

Huang Jinxian gave a brief speech of encouragement and then announced that the meal was about to begin. Immediately, the private room became lively, with toasts coming one after another. At first, it was just toasts from his table, but then it became a melee.

Liao Qian also drank some wine. After looking at Zhang Wenwu and Kong Lina, he cheerfully said, "Deputy Director Zhang, you and Team Leader Kong should have a drink. They are a perfect match, don't you think?"

This table was full of people from the division, and everyone knew each other. Besides, who could miss this good opportunity to make a scene? So they all started to make a scene.

Kong Lina also drank two glasses of wine. Her face was a little red. After hearing everyone's cheering, her face became even redder. Zhang Wenwu thought: That's it? My buddy used to hang out in bars in his previous life. This is nothing. So he patted his chest and said, "No problem, drink."

After that, he pulled Kong Lina to clink glasses and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. This made everyone even happier and noisier.

Zhang Wenwu joined in the fun for a while, then whispered something to Kong Lina beside him. After Kong Lina nodded slightly, Zhang Wenwu took the wine glass in one hand and a pot of wine in the other and walked to another table. He had no choice, he had to toast the superiors and provide good service.

Huang Jinxian was happily persuading Qi Xingfa and Brigade Commander Lai to drink when he saw Zhang Wenwu walking towards the table with a wine glass. He immediately said loudly to the people at the table: "Hey, our little God of Wealth is here. We have to make him drink well. Otherwise, if he doesn't give us food in the future, we'll be doomed. Hahahaha."

This table was the main table, where the division leaders and several major military commanders sat. When Zhang Wenwu came over, he heard Huang Jinxian's words and quickly raised his glass to toast Huang Jinxian first, and then toasted everyone one by one according to their ranks.

When it was Brigade Commander Lai's turn, he said with a smile: "Thank you for your care, Little God of Wealth. Chief of Staff Zhao has already told us that we need Little God of Wealth to take good care of our brigade in the future."

Zhang Wenwu knew that Zhao Dong had told them all about the Quartermaster Department's "pass" business, so he said politely, "It is thanks to the brigade commander that you have taken good care of me." After saying that, he finished the wine in the glass, causing the people around him to cheer.

After drinking with the people at the main table, Zhang Wenwu went to another table, which was filled with attendees brought by the commanders of the troops below. The people at this table were much more drunk, and Zhang Wenwu felt a little dizzy after drinking. Zhang Wenwu saw that this was not good, so he quickly called for the people at the division headquarters table to come over for reinforcement. Liao Qian and others were also righteous and rushed over with wine glasses. Zhang Wenwu took advantage of the gap between them toasting each other and quickly slipped back to his table to eat some dishes and relax. Kong Lina also helped to pick up dishes and pass tea and said: "Wenwu, you drank too much, take a break."

Zhang Wenwu had indeed drunk a little too much. After hearing what Kong Lina said and looking at her face, Zhang Wenwu couldn't help but blurt out: "Lina, you are so beautiful."

Kong Lina's heart trembled when she heard this, and she was quite happy: "Hate it, hurry up and eat a few more bites of food to drink down the wine."

When Zhang Wenwu heard Kong Lina's tone, he was immediately delighted: there is great hope for him.
