Devil's Army

The next morning, Leng Feng and Barun each rode a horse down the mountain and headed towards Fengtian County.

In order not to attract attention, the two men tied their horses in a small forest outside Fengtian City. Barun caught two rabbits from a farm and pretended to be a hunter selling mountain products. Leng Feng pretended to be a business owner, and the two walked into Fengtian City together.

Baron took Leng Feng to the west of the city based on his memory. There were many factories built here and there. It didn't take Baron long to find out the location of the glass factory.

Leng Feng and his companions entered the factory and walked to the office of Director He of the glass factory. Director He Shitu of the glass factory was calculating accounts with an abacus. Seeing Baron carrying two rabbits and a man entering the office, he thought Baron was here to sell mountain products, so he quickly stood up and said:

"Brother Barron is coming. How much is it?"

"Director He, we are not here to sell mountain products. This is Boss Leng, he has business to discuss with you." Baron said.

"Oh? Mr. Leng, please take a seat." He Shitu invited Leng Feng to sit at the coffee table next to him.

"I wonder if Mr. Leng has any business to help me, Mr. He." He Shitu asked after pouring a cup of tea for Leng Feng.

"I wonder if Mr. He is interested in opening another branch?" Leng Feng asked after drinking a cup of tea.

"Ever since certain people came, my business has been getting slower and slower. Now the factory can't even employ enough workers a month, so how can I open a branch?" He Shitu said helplessly.

"I provide the land and orders, you provide the funds and technology, and then we can split the profits together. How about that?" Leng Feng responded.

"I wonder how many orders Boss Leng has, and whether he can guarantee the operation of my entire small factory?"

"Don't worry about the order. I'm worried that you won't be able to produce it."

"Oh?" He Shitu was worried about the lack of orders and the workers' inability to produce full-time. Now that he heard that there were a large number of orders for him to produce, his eyes lit up and he asked, "What products does Boss Leng want me to produce? Do you want so many and for a long time?"

"For a long time."

"What product is it?" He Shitu asked as he poured Leng Feng a cup of tea.

"A small bottle containing penicillin." Leng Feng stared into He Shitu's eyes and said lightly.

He Shitu was drinking tea. When he heard Leng Feng mention penicillin, his hands trembled and the tea spilled out. He looked towards the door nervously and said:

"Penicillin is a military controlled material. Can you produce it? You might get beheaded if you fail to do so."

"So I hope Director He will move your entire factory to our location. Your existing customers can continue to produce. Although the delivery distance is far, there is a large area of ​​quartz sand and gravel behind our mountain, so your raw material procurement channel is also closer, and the cost will not increase."

"There are too many people here to talk. Boss Leng, can you please move downstairs so we can talk while we have lunch?"

“The guest does as he pleases!”

He Shitu then called his wife and told her that two guests would be coming for lunch. Then he and Leng Feng walked to the door, called two rickshaws, and drove to his house.

When they arrived at He Shitu's house, Mrs. He was working in the kitchen with her sleeves rolled up. Without saying a word, Barun carried the two rabbits into the kitchen to help kill them.

Mrs. He felt embarrassed and quickly said, "You are a guest, just sit outside and I will do it later."

Barun smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm from the mountains and I'm used to it. You can wait for me to finish."

"That's fine. I've never eaten a live rabbit before." Mrs. He smiled embarrassedly.

He Shitu asked Leng Feng to sit in the living room, and he stood up to make tea.

"Boss He, don't be polite. We can just sit down and chat for a while. We're ready to eat." Leng Feng said.

"That's fine," He Shitu said naturally.

"Penicillin is a popular drug under arms control. Can you produce it?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem."

"If it can be produced, sales should not be a problem, and the demand for glass bottles will definitely not be small."

"Yes, that's why I said I was worried that you wouldn't be able to produce enough."

"If production can't keep up, just add more production lines and more people. It's easy." He Shitu answered easily.

"We also found two female chemistry students from Fengtian University to help."

"Wait a minute, what university are you talking about? Fengtian University."

"Yes." Leng Feng was a little confused. Why did Director He have such a big reaction?

"Two college girls?"

"Yes." Leng Feng stared into He Shitu's eyes. He knew there must be something going on.

"Then, Boss Leng, do you know the names of these two female college students?" He Shitu asked nervously.

"One is He Shuzhen, the other is Wang Yulan." Leng Feng still stared into He Shitu's eyes and answered calmly. Who knew that He Shitu stopped asking Leng Feng questions and shouted towards the kitchen:

"There's no need to look for the child's mother."

Mrs. He came over from the kitchen after hearing He Shitu's call and asked with a smile, "Don't look for anything. It's so confusing."

"Your precious daughter is with Boss Leng."

"Really?" Mrs. He happily held Leng Feng's hand and asked, "Is Shuzhen with you?"

Leng Feng then realized that He Shuzhen was the only daughter of Director He. He then told He Shitu and his wife how they had rescued He Shuzhen and Wang Yulan at Fengtian University, and how He Shuzhen and her classmates had gone to Hejiazhai to join their army.

Mrs. He wiped her tears and cursed while listening:

"This damn girl left a letter saying she was going to join the army, and then there was no news. We used many connections and inquired with many troops, but there was no news about her."

"That's great now. You can set up the factory in our base and your family can be reunited again." Leng Feng said with a smile.

"Okay." He Shitu immediately decided to move the factory to Leng Feng's place of residence. "You two can rest here for one night. Tomorrow we will go back to the factory together to see what the workers think."

"Okay, sorry to bother you." Leng Feng replied politely.

"I'm sorry to bother you." He Shitu responded politely.
