Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Zhang Wenwu, wearing a military uniform, swaggered into the Zhenjiang Hotel. He learned from Hu San's report last night that at noon today, Hu San would bring the signed rental contract that had been filed with the police station to Chen Mingzhang, and have dinner with Chen Mingzhang and the Japanese named Xiaodao in the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel.

Zhang Wenwu was of course preparing for an "accidental encounter". As for wearing a military uniform, it was for the Japanese to see. With the Japanese's pervasive character, they would definitely have some ideas after seeing that he was a soldier. According to the cautious style of the Japanese spy agency, if he took the initiative to contact them, it would definitely arouse suspicion. The only way was to find a way to make the Japanese interested in him and come to him on their own initiative.

Hu San was having dinner with Chen Mingzhang and Xiaodao in the lobby restaurant. Chen Mingzhang was very excited and flattered the Japanese named Xiaodao, but the Japanese responded very indifferently, obviously not taking Chen Mingzhang seriously. But this did not affect Chen Mingzhang's flattery.

At this time, Hu San saw from the corner of his eye that Zhang Wenwu was already sitting on the other side of the hall, ordering food with the waiter. He knew that he could start planning.

Chen Mingzhang was also very upset with this Japanese named Xiaodao. I have said so many good things to him, and I have said so many good things to him. Why don't you respond? He is like a dead person. If I can't afford to offend him, I would have cursed him. Forget it, let's eat quickly. After eating, I will go to the casino with Hu San to win back the money I lost last night, and then go to Chunfenglou to vent my anger in the evening.

When Chen Mingzhang was about to eat the fish, Hu San came over and whispered to him, "Mr. Chen, I saw that stupid bird last night."

"Silly bird? What stupid bird?" Chen Mingzhang didn't react at once, and said blankly to Hu San.

Chen Mingzhang's question made Hu San confused. Didn't you call him a fool last night? How come you forgot it? What do you want to say? You big fool, the person who lost money with you last night is eating next to us?

Hu San thought for a moment, looked at Chen Mingzhang and said, "Mr. Chen, this is the brother who shared the same 'interests' with you last night." After saying that, he blinked at Chen Mingzhang, looking clumsy, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was giving Chen Mingzhang a hint.

Chen Mingzhang watched Hu San blinking at him repeatedly, and finally remembered who Hu San was talking about, and hurriedly asked, "Where is that person?"

Kojima, who had always been taciturn, is now interested. He was sent by Commander Ono to carry out this important task, but this Chinese man named Chen Mingzhang is simply a very talkative pig. I really don't know which idiot developed this Chen Mingzhang to serve the Empire of Japan. Can't he see that this Chen Mingzhang is a complete waste?

Xiaodao, who had been harassed by Chen Mingzhang's "incessant" flattery for a long time, originally wanted to go back to the room to rest, but suddenly he saw the Chinese man named Hu San whispering to Chen Mingzhang that someone was coming, and then kept making faces, which was simply ugly. He suddenly wanted to see what these Chinese people were like, just to add a little fun to his life, and hope that these Chinese people would not let him down.

Chen Mingzhang followed Hu San's gaze and saw Zhang Wenwu who had just ordered the dishes. A soldier? Are soldiers so rich? He lost a lot last night, and he came to the hotel to eat and drink?

"Mr. Chen, who are you talking about? What do you mean? Tell me what you are talking about." Xiaodao asked Chen Mingzhang. There was no other way. He expected that Chen Mingzhang, a loser, would not have any sense of propriety and would not take the initiative to report to him. It would be more convenient to ask proactively than to wait for him to speak.

Seeing that Xiaodao actually asked, Chen Mingzhang was surprised and said flatteringly, "Xiaodao Taijun, it's nothing. I just happened to meet a good brother. Hu San just saw him and told me."

"Oh? Good brother? Where are you? I want to see what Chen Sang's good brother is like." Xiaodao had a wicked smile on his face. It was easy to tell what kind of person the person was who could be called a "good brother" by Chen Mingzhang.

Chen Mingzhang ignored Xiaodao's teasing and pointed to where Zhang Wenwu was sitting: "Xiaodao Taijun, that's the one in military uniform, he is my good brother."

Xiaodao looked in the direction Chen Mingzhang pointed, his eyes tightened, and then immediately filled with excitement, thinking to himself: "It's actually a Chinese soldier, oh, that's great."

He did not make any other moves, nor did he talk to Chen Mingzhang. Instead, he began to observe Zhang Wenwu carefully based on his own experience, and at the same time, he began to summarize his observations in his mind: "Male officer, estimated to be between 24 and 28 years old, rank captain, judging from the discipline buttons on his uniform, he is not a traditional professional soldier. He ordered two dishes and a bottle of red wine. Ordering stir-fried dishes and pairing them with red wine is such an incongruous combination in such an occasion, which means that this officer is most likely born in a landlord family, and his family should be well off."

"Mr. Chen, what's the name of your good brother, and which unit is he in?" Xiaodao concluded from his own analysis that this officer should be easy to corrupt and win over. He was a little interested, and it depended on whether this officer was worth his offer.

Chen Mingzhang was at a loss. How could he know the man's name? But he had to answer Xiaodao Taijun's question. What should he do? Tell Xiaodao Taijun that he gave this man the nickname "Silly Bird"? Chen Mingzhang looked at Hu San helplessly. Now he could only hope that Hu San could come up with a good solution for him. Otherwise, it would be difficult to pass Xiaodao.

Hu San was also convinced. This Chen Mingzhang was simply a big loser, but he also knew that he had to help him at this time, so he quickly said: "Xiaodao Taijun, how about me and Master Chen call him over to have dinner with you, so that he can get to know Xiaodao Taijun."

When Chen Mingzhang heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up. Hu San's answer was very good. He could go over and find out the other person's name by using the invitation name. So he quickly said, "Yes, Hu San's suggestion is good. I'll ask him to come and meet Kojima Taijun. It will be his honor." After saying that, he did not forget to see if Kojima agreed.

Kojima nodded. He did want to talk to the officer.

When Chen Mingzhang saw Xiaodao nod, he quickly pulled Hu San towards Zhang Wenwu. Halfway there, Chen Mingzhang said gratefully, "Thanks to Brother Hu for helping us out. I won't say anything else. I'll come to Chunfeng Tower tonight."

Hu San looked very excited and kept saying "no, no".

Zhang Wenwu knew that Chen Mingzhang and Hu San were walking towards his table, but he lowered his head and pretended not to see them. He could not show any sign of taking the initiative.

"Brother, what a coincidence, haha, we meet again, it's fate." Chen Mingzhang came to Zhang Wenwu, clasped his fists and greeted him.

Zhang Wenwu raised his head in surprise, looked at Chen Mingzhang in front of him and said, "Oh, what a coincidence, this brother also comes here to eat. Oh, by the way, I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Thank you for your courtesy, brother. I am Chen Mingzhang and this brother is Hu San. I haven't asked for your name yet." Chen Mingzhang said politely.

"My name is Zhang Wenwu. It's fate that we meet. Would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?" Zhang Wenwu said enthusiastically.

After hearing what Zhang Wenwu said, Chen Mingzhang's favorability increased greatly. It seemed that this brother Zhang was a good person. But when he thought of Xiaodao Taijun who was still waiting over there, he waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, you and I hit it off right away. I'll treat you to this meal. There's another friend over there. Why don't you go to that table and have a meal and chat together? It's better than eating here alone."

Zhang Wenwu immediately showed a distressed expression, which meant that he didn't want to go. At this time, Hu San hurriedly said, "Yes, Brother Zhang, Master Chen is a kind-hearted person, and he is very righteous. The main reason is that there is a friend waiting over there. Master Chen really can't leave, but he wants to get to know Brother Zhang, so he can only let Brother Zhang go for the time being."

After hearing what Hu San said, Zhang Wenwu finally agreed and said, "Okay, since Mr. Chen has invited us, I must give him this face. Let's go to your table and eat together." After saying that, he stood up. Hu San quickly asked the waiter to bring all the dishes and wine from this table to his table.

Chen Mingzhang was overjoyed, and quickly pulled Zhang Wenwu to sit in front of Xiaodao, and introduced him to Xiaodao: "Xiaodao Taijun, this is my good brother Zhang Wenwu, he is also eating here, I didn't expect to meet you, it's fate, hehe"

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, my name is Kenzo Kojima, please give me your guidance." Kojima nodded and introduced himself.

"Hello Mr. Kojima, it's an honor to meet you." Zhang Wenwu nodded slightly. He would not bow to the Japanese.

At this time, Hu San also came over and asked the waiter to put the dishes away, and told everyone to eat and chat quickly.

The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. After the meal, Zhang Wenwu wiped his mouth and said goodbye. "Pay the bill?" Chen Mingzhang was here, so it was nice to eat at a rich man's table.

As Kojima Kenzo looked at Zhang Wenwu walking out of the hotel, he felt a little secretly delighted in his heart. This Zhang Wenwu was still a Chinese officer who could be won over. Although everyone was chatting during the meal, Kojima Kenzo could still feel that this Captain Zhang must be working in the 102nd Division Headquarters in Zhenjiang. There were several times when he deliberately shifted the topic to the army in Zhenjiang, but this Captain Zhang obviously hesitated to talk to him in depth.

This Captain Zhang Wenwu is indeed better than the useless Chen Mingzhang, but in his eyes, he is only slightly better and still belongs to the category of useless. He thinks that he has not told him anything, but in fact, he has revealed a lot of useful information. As for how to use this Captain Zhang, he still needs to ask Chief Ono for instructions.

In Liu Qiqian's office, after listening to the report of her team members, she couldn't help but stand up and said, "Zhang Wenwu, he actually sold out his country?"
