Upon seeing that the visitor was Staff Officer Yu, he chuckled and said, "Old Yu, why did you come in person in such terrible weather?"
At the same time, Liang Zheng took out a handkerchief and slowly wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth.
"Liang Zheng!" Staff Officer Yu's voice rose several decibels instantly. He glared at the middle-aged man, his expression stern. "Commander Feng sent you to be in charge of the grain depot's allocation and relief work, not to enjoy yourself here! The people outside are waiting for this batch of grain to save their lives, and you're here eating and drinking to your heart's content. Do you deserve the uniform you wear?"
Liang Zheng was speechless, his face turning pale and then red. He smiled awkwardly and tried to explain, "Officer Yu, please let me explain. I just ate a little something to replenish my strength and it didn't interfere with my work. I assure you, the allocation and transportation of the grain are proceeding in an orderly manner."
"In an orderly manner?" Staff Officer Yu sneered. "How come I haven't seen any signs of any supplies being transported out? Liang Zheng, stop trying to fool me. Now that you've modified vehicles that can travel in the snow, you should immediately mobilize grain to provide disaster relief to the people!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Zheng shook his head, completely unmoved: "Shouldn't a soldier's primary duty be to obey orders? Heh, I'm sorry, I haven't received any disaster relief orders from above."
"Liang Zheng!" Staff Officer Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "This is Commander Feng's order! Do you intend to disobey military orders?"
"Yu Wenxing, stop trying to intimidate me. Don't forget, I'm the deputy commander, and you're just a staff officer! Is this how you talk to me?"
Liang Zheng's face darkened, his tone filled with provocation and dissatisfaction.
"Also, you said it was Commander Feng's order? I don't know anything about that. All I know is that my current task is to ensure the safety of the grain depot and wait for further instructions from above."
Yu Wenxing's face immediately turned ashen. He hadn't expected Liang Zheng to be so arrogant and openly defy his superior's orders.
He took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm: "Liang Zheng, this is blatant disobedience to military orders. Do you know the consequences?"
"Consequences?" Liang Zheng scoffed. "Since I put on this uniform, I haven't known what the consequences would be. All I know is that the safety of the granary is the most important thing right now. It's state property. As for the disaster relief you mentioned, I'm sorry, but I'll say it again: I haven't received any orders from above unless you bring me the documents."
