The carpenters hired by the lumber mill looked at Li Wangsheng with pity.
I genuinely feel sorry for them.
Compared to the garrison in Xiangcheng, the garrison in Ccheng, with Ma Zhixuan in charge of management, can only be described as "miserable".
But they were just employees; they couldn't cross city lines to provide any assistance to the garrison in City C.
Ma Zhixuan acted unilaterally, waving his hand dismissively.
"In short, if Hua Mi doesn't lower her prices, we in City C won't buy her firewood."
Li Wang's face twisted in anger.
"Fine, you don't want to buy it, you wait."
He turned around and contacted Zhou Cheng, the garrison commander of City C, and told him exactly what Ma Zhixuan had done without authorization.
Zhou Cheng was accompanying Gong Yi as they searched for survivors on the outskirts of City C.
Upon hearing this, he swore, hung up the phone, and immediately complained to Ma Yongchun.
“Your second young master is simply a talent. Sending him to Xiangcheng to receive supplies is a waste of his abilities. How about this, Ma Yongchun, how about you make him the garrison commander? I'll step down and give way to a more capable person, okay?”
This is infuriating! Zhou Cheng has so many things to do all day long, and Gong Yi came to him saying that Chen Hu and Brother Fen might be coming to City C.
In this freezing weather, he was leading his garrison to search for survivors all over the mountains, and then the second young master of the Ma family pulled this stunt on him.
Zhou Cheng gave Ma Yongchun a severe scolding and then threatened him:
"If I had known you, surnamed Ma, were so unreliable, why would I have joined your ranks? Look at Gong Yi, he doesn't even need management positions anymore. I'd like to try doing that too."
"From today onwards, the firewood for heating the garrison in City C will no longer be procured by your management. We're like brothers, so let's keep clear accounts. Any procurement of supplies will be handled separately!"
"Damn it," Zhou Cheng cursed a few more times and hung up on Ma Yongchun.
Gong Yi, leading several garrison soldiers and walking through the snow, glanced sideways at Zhou Cheng.
“I think Ma Yongchun is good in every way, except for his second brother, who is seriously holding him back.”
The snow was silent. When Li Wangsheng called Zhou Cheng, although the call wasn't on speakerphone, Gong Yi heard it clearly.
Gong Yi had witnessed how naive and innocent Ma Zhixuan was, so he didn't even need to ask to roughly imagine how many people Ma Zhixuan's actions could infuriate.
His wife wasn't angry enough to cause miscarriage, was she?
Gong Yi was a little worried, and then he became even more annoyed with Ma Zhixuan.
If it weren't for his older brother Ma Yongchun protecting him, this spoiled brat would have been dead somewhere long ago.
Zhou Cheng was still angry, so he kicked a snowdrift in front of him, sending snowballs flying everywhere.
He ignored Gong Yi, and Li Wangsheng called again.
On the other end of the phone, Li Wangsheng said with a bitter face,
"The wood-cutting plant has already started operating, and truckloads of firewood have been piled up and hauled away."
"They said the lumber mill only got three trees this time, and they don't know when it will be able to start work again."
The carpenters worked quickly, running the wood-cutting machine at full power, and in no time, a third of a tree was cut off.
Li Wangsheng inquired and learned that the firewood loaded onto the trucks would be transported to the garrison posts in Xiangcheng and Bcheng.
Each of the garrison posts under Gong Yi's command was equipped with hundreds of kilograms of silver wire charcoal, and now each post is also equipped with hundreds of kilograms of wood.
While the carpenters were talking about these things, Li Wangsheng felt a pang of envy.
He told these words to Zhou Cheng, who felt both angry and resentful.
Look at Gong Yi, and then look at him. Zhou Cheng hung up on Li Wangsheng.
He asked Gong Yi, who had stopped to the side,
"What do you suggest we do now?"
Gong Yi looked at him coldly.
"Why are you asking me? I'm just here in your City C to arrest people, not to do business."
"No, bro~"
Zhou Cheng leaned closer, looking irritated.
"Could you put in a good word for me with Sister Hua? Leave me some firewood. I really don't have time to feed myself. Just give me some to tide me over."
"In this cold weather, the blankets are always cold for us single men. If it weren't for central heating, we wouldn't be able to sleep well at night."
Just out of pity for single people, give me some advice!!!
Gong Yi straightened his back and looked at Zhou Cheng, the single dog, with a sympathetic expression.
Since Zhou Cheng is already unmarried, Gong Yi offers a clear path for the single garrison soldiers.
He cleared his throat and said in a controlled tone,
"You know my wife, right? She's obsessed with money. I'm very clear about money with her, and she doesn't hesitate to take advantage of me."
"As long as you have something to trade with her, something that allows her to make a profit, she won't care about Ma Zhixuan or Wang Zhixuan."
Gong Yi's words enlightened Zhou Cheng, who had never dealt with women before.
So the secret to winning a woman's heart is to shower her with money.
Zhou Cheng understood.
He immediately called Li Wangsheng and asked him to continue purchasing firewood at the contract price.
Li Wangsheng hesitated for a moment, glanced back at the stubborn Ma Zhixuan, and asked,
"But where do we get the money? Our money is all allocated by the management."
Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth,
“If this management team has someone like Ma Zhixuan, neither of us will have a good life. If we have no money, we’ll just give Sister Hua the batch of fabric we found last time.”
The money from this batch of fabric was given to Sister Hua to buy firewood.
Anyway, these hundreds of thousands of tons of fabric were sourced by the garrison in City C. Now that Ma Zhixuan refuses to buy firewood, the garrison in City C naturally has to find a way to keep warm on its own.
Is it really possible to rescue people, fight criminals, protect the city and survivors, and also go out to collect firewood for warmth all at the same time?
To put it bluntly, the garrison has collected all the firewood near City C. What will happen to the survivors?
Do the survivors have to travel to even farther places to collect firewood?
Having received Zhou Cheng's instructions, Li Wangsheng hurriedly told Afu,
"Our garrison commander Zhou said that he has hundreds of thousands of tons of cloth and wants to exchange it for firewood with Sister Hua."
Standing behind Li Wangsheng, Ma Zhixuan's expression hardened, and he roared angrily.
"Li Wangsheng!"
Li Wangsheng ignored him and continued talking to Afu.
“I heard that Sister Hua is buying fabric. She can do this business directly with our garrison.”
Afu nodded and turned to call Huami for instructions.
Ma Zhixuan was already furious. He rushed up and said through gritted teeth to Li Wangsheng...
"You're just a squad leader, who gave you the right to act on your own? Don't you know this will make things very ugly?"
"Others will think that the garrison and management in City C have separated!"
Li Wangsheng lifted his eyelids to look at Ma Zhixuan.
"You haven't received the news yet? They've already split up. Our Commander Zhou said that if you're still in the management, our garrison in City C will be self-sufficient from now on."
Before Ma Zhixuan could react to these words, Qin Zhen rushed over angrily.
Hmm, let's go for a drive in the countryside. It should be a nice day today.
