Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Chen Mingzhang had just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea when he saw Hu San walk into the private room. He immediately called out, "Brother Hu, come here, sit down and take a rest."

When Hu San heard Chen Mingzhang's shout, he smiled a little embarrassedly, came to sit next to Chen Mingzhang and explained: "Oh, I don't know what happened to my stomach, it suddenly hurts. After the clinic opened by Mr. Chen and the Japanese is built, I have to go and see this broken stomach."

Chen Mingzhang glanced at Hu San, but he did not point out Hu San's lame excuse. After all, he was the one who helped him, and he did not want to criticize him in front of Zhang Wenwu.

"Oh? Mr. Chen is going to open a clinic in Zhenjiang?" Zhang Wenwu pretended to have just heard it.

When Chen Mingzhang heard Zhang Wenwu's question, he straightened up and said proudly, "Well, it's just a small matter. The Japanese and my father had cooperated in Shanghai before and built several spinning mills together. Some time ago, the Japanese wanted to open a clinic in Zhenjiang, so they found me for cooperation, so I came to Zhenjiang. Thanks to Brother Hu's help, I just finished renting a house yesterday. The doctors and nurses of the clinic will come to Zhenjiang the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Zhang Wenwu heard this and thought, well, the house hasn't been completely renovated yet and the doctors and nurses were sent here. The Japanese are a bit anxious. From this point, it can be judged that the Japanese have a clear goal this time and are so anxious to come here. It's not like the usual intelligence station. There must be a special purpose.

"Oh, that's great. Mr. Chen has a lot of connections. It must cost a lot of money to hire doctors and nurses in Shanghai. He is really generous. I admire you, brother." Zhang Wenwu clasped his fists and continued to inquire.

Chen Mingzhang was a little bit proud. Look, brother Zhang also admired me: "No, the doctors and nurses are all in charge of the Japanese. I am only responsible for finding a place and handling some paperwork." Chen Mingzhang still told the truth. There was nothing to brag about. When the Japanese doctors and nurses arrived, everyone would know about it.

At this time, Hu San said at the right time: "Brother Zhang, you are also an official. You must take care of us in Zhenjiang in the future." After saying that, he winked at Chen Mingzhang.

Chen Mingzhang was a little slow to react. How could they be chatting when the subject suddenly changed? Why did Hu San wink at him?

Zhang Wenwu pretended not to see it, pretended to go to the toilet and left.

Seeing Zhang Wenwu walk out of the private room, Chen Mingzhang asked, "Brother Hu, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

Hu San wanted to kill this idiot and loser, but he couldn't do that now, so he could only explain, "Mr. Chen, have you forgotten that Lady Kojima told us to spend more time with Zhang Wenwu?"

Chen Mingzhang remembered that Kojima Taijun wanted him to interact more with Zhang Wenwu, and said that Zhang Wenwu was a good person. He forgot about this at the time, but he was interacting with Zhang Wenwu more. They had been playing in a private room for several hours, and he still wanted to interact like this.

Seeing that Chen Mingzhang didn't understand, Hu San was speechless and could only say bluntly again: "I think that Xiaodao Taijun wants to know more about Chief Zhang. We need to know more about Chief Zhang's background, so that if Xiaodao Taijun asks next time, you will have an answer. After all, you said that Chief Zhang is your good brother, right?"

After listening to Hu San's earnest explanation, Chen Mingzhang finally reacted. So this is what he meant. It's a good thing that Hu San reminded him of this matter. He should indeed find out the details of Brother Zhang. When Lady Kojima asks about it, if he gives a good answer, he might even be rewarded with some money.

Thinking of this, he saw Zhang Wenwu pushing the door in. He immediately held back the words that were about to praise Hu San, but still gave Hu San an appreciative look.

As soon as Zhang Wenwu sat down, Chen Mingzhang signaled to Hu San to find a topic to start a conversation, which Hu San was better at than him. Hu San understood immediately, looked at Zhang Wenwu with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, where are you from? Do you have any good business? Please take care of me, your brother. I don't want a big business like Master Chen, I just want to make a living."

When Chen Mingzhang heard this, he secretly praised, "Great!" He didn't even know how to start the question. There was nothing wrong with Hu San's question. It was reasonable, very reasonable.

After hearing what Hu San said, Zhang Wenwu said with a smile: "Brother Hu, you are praising me too much. I am just a soldier who does rough work. How can I be worthy of Brother Hu's attention? I am so ashamed."

"Brother Zhang, what you said, you can do business on your own outside, how can it be menial work? Are you afraid that we brothers will tell on you after you say it out loud? Haha." Chen Mingzhang quickly added with a laugh, he heard Zhang Wenwu himself say that he was doing business outside, these are his own words, he can't deny it.

"Ahem," Zhang Wenwu coughed awkwardly, then approached the two men and whispered, "How could I not trust you two brothers? It's just that I'm wearing a military uniform, so I have to consider the impact. It's okay to tell you two brothers, but you two brothers just need to know it, and don't spread it around, otherwise I'll be in trouble." Zhang Wenwu paused, looked around, and whispered, "Brother, I work in the Quartermaster Department of the 102nd Division, and I've mixed up the position of deputy director."

Chen Mingzhang then understood what Zhang Wenwu meant when he mentioned doing some small business outside. Isn't that reselling military supplies? No wonder he didn't want to reveal his unit and position. If someone reported this, Brother Zhang would be in big trouble. Brother Zhang was a courageous man.

Zhang Wenwu was also speechless to Chen Mingzhang. In order to reveal his identity to him without leaving a trace, he and Hu San were exhausted. After acting for half a day, he was forced to find excuses like going to the toilet to give them time to prepare. It was not easy.

Two days later, in the coffee shop on the first floor of Zhenjiang Hotel, Kenzo Kojima was listening to Chen Mingzhang's report on the house renovation. Hu San was watching over the matter, and Chen Mingzhang only learned about the current progress from Hu San. He had not been there since he accompanied Ono Akira last time, so how could he know what was going on?

"Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your hard work. You are worthy of being a good friend of the Great Japanese Empire. I will recommend you to Lord Ono." Kojima Kenzo was very satisfied with the progress of the house. Tomorrow he would bring the doctors and nurses from Shanghai to move into the house. The doctors and nurses were military doctors and nurses provided by the navy, and their loyalty to the Great Japanese Empire was unquestionable.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, where is your good brother Captain Zhang? Have you had dinner with him recently?" Kenzo Kojima asked casually.

Chen Mingzhang was delighted. Hu San had predicted this. Fortunately, he had prepared for it. "Xiaodao Taijun, Brother Zhang and I have a very good relationship. We even went to the casino together to play a few games these two days. Today, he said he had a meeting, so I didn't invite him to come over for coffee."

"Oh? Captain Zhang is so busy. It's really hard to be a Chinese soldier. You have to attend meetings and train, and the pay is not high." Kenzo Kojima continued to inquire.

"That's right, what Kojima-sama said is so right. My brother Zhang has a very hard life. His military pay is not enough to cover his daily expenses, and he has to run a small business outside to supplement the cost. The only benefit is that he doesn't have to train every day under the scorching sun." Chen Mingzhang heartlessly told everything he knew.

"Oh? Captain Zhang doesn't need training? He can also do business in the army? What unit is he in and what position does he hold? If possible, I can introduce my Japanese friends doing business in Shanghai to come and do business with Captain Zhang and see if we can make some money together." Kojima Kenzo needed to confirm Zhang Wenwu's position, and at the same time, he also threw a big pie to Chen Mingzhang. He knew very well what people like Chen Mingzhang were interested in.

Sure enough, when Chen Mingzhang heard Kenzo Kojima say that there was business to be done, he excitedly told Kenzo Kojima that Zhang Wenwu was the deputy director of the Quartermaster Department of the 102nd Division. He felt that this was also a way to help his brother find a way to make money, so he sold out Zhang Wenwu without any guilt.

Kojima Kenzo is very excited now. This useless Chen Mingzhang has brought him a super surprise. In the quartermaster department of the division, few people know the specific situation of the 102nd Division better than Zhang Wenwu. It can be said that he knows exactly how many guns of the 102nd Division are good and how many are bad. Not only that, he can even easily get their division's defense map, which is too valuable.

After calming down, Xiaodao Jianzo said to Chen Mingzhang with a smile: "Very good, Mr. Chen, you did a great job. Find some time to meet your good brother Captain Zhang and tell him that I want to invite him to dinner and chat to see if it is possible to do business together."

Chen Mingzhang was also delighted. If this brother did business with the Japanese, he would also get a share of the profits. It would be easy for him to make money just by acting as a matchmaker and passing on messages. So he nodded quickly and assured Kenzo Kojima that there would be no problem.

Before it got dark that night, Chen Mingzhang dragged Hu San to the Hongyun Casino in a hurry. He was going to wait for the arrival of his good brother Zhang Wenwu here. He wanted to facilitate a meeting between Zhang Wenwu and Kojima Taijun as soon as possible.

Zhang Wenwu didn't know that Xiaodao wanted to meet him, because Hu San hadn't had time to tell him about this. He was eating chicken legs while looking at Chen Mingzhang's gambling account book with Xue Siye.

"Tsk tsk, our Master Chen has lost more than 3,000 French francs in the past few days. He is really a rich man." Zhang Wenwu exclaimed as he spat out the chicken bone in his mouth.

"Haha, this kind of rich guy, if Deputy Director Zhang didn't still have use for him, I would have set up a trap to make him bankrupt long ago. Anyway, this guy made all his money by working as a dog for the Japanese." Fourth Master Xue said angrily.

Zhang Wenwu suddenly remembered that Kong Lina still owed money to Chen Mingzhang. If he could find a way to get the IOU this time, it would be great news for Kong Lina. He could eliminate the traitor while helping the beauty solve her problem, killing two birds with one stone. As for Kong Lina's gratitude to him, he didn't think much of it. He just felt that Kong Lina was a little pitiful. If he met someone who was capable, he would help solve her problem.

"Master Xue, don't be anxious. I think the money that Young Master Chen brought with him is almost spent. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When the time comes, Master Xue must teach Young Master Chen a good lesson. Haha." Zhang Wenwu comforted Master Xue. Chen Mingzhang was still useful and it was not time to get rid of him.

"Don't worry, Deputy Director Zhang. I understand and will not delay Deputy Director Zhang's important matters." Fourth Master Xue quickly assured.

Before Zhang Wenwu could continue speaking, one of Xue Siye's men came to report that Chen Mingzhang and Hu San had already arrived at the private room on the second floor of the casino.

Zhang Wenwu wiped his mouth, said goodbye to Mr. Xue Si, and walked towards the private room. He thought: This Chen Mingzhang is quite proactive. I wonder what news he can bring me today.
