Chapter 226: 224 After we were garrisoned in City C, we became self-sufficient. Chapter 226: 224 After we were garrisoned in City C, we became self-sufficient. The carpenters summoned to the Wood Shaving Factory cast sympathetic glances at Li Wangsheng. True sympathy. Compared to the garrison in Xiang City, managing the garrison of City C under Ma Zhixuan could only be described as “miserable.” But they were just workers, they couldn’t cross cities to provide any help to City C’s garrison. Ma Zhixuan, headstrong as always, waved dismissively, “Anyway, if Hua Mi doesn’t lower her prices, we in City C will stop buying her firewood.” Li Wangsheng’s face twisted in anger, “Fine, don’t buy, just you wait.” He turned around and contacted the garrison commander of City C, Zhou Cheng, and told him everything about Ma Zhixuan’s unauthorized decision. Zhou Cheng was accompanying Gong Yi in the suburbs of City C, searching for survivors. Upon hearing this, he swore and immediately called Ma Yongchun to complain, “Your family’s second son is a real piece of work, sending him to Xiang City to collect supplies is truly underusing him. How about this, Ma Yongchun, why don’t you let him be the garrison commander? I’ll step down, let him take over, how about it?” Zhou Cheng was really furious, he had so much to deal with daily, and Gong Yi had just told him that Chen Hu and Brother Fen might be headed to City C. In this freezing weather, he was still leading the garrison through the fields searching for survivors, and now the Ma Family’s second son had stirred up trouble. Zhou Cheng yelled at Ma Yongchun and then threatened, “If I had known earlier how unreliable you, surnamed Ma, were, why would I have ever sided with you? Look at Gong Yi; he isn’t even in management. I really want to give that a try too.” “Starting today, City C’s garrison will not rely on your management for purchasing firewood for heating. We are brothers, but let’s settle accounts clearly; we’ll divide the sourcing of all supplies!” Damn it, Zhou Cheng cursed again, and hung up on Ma Yongchun’s call. By his side in the snow, leading several soldiers, Gong Yi glanced sidelong at Zhou Cheng, “I think Ma Yongchun is good in everything except for his younger brother, who’s severely holding him back.” The snowfield was silent, and although Li Wangsheng’s call to Zhou Cheng wasn’t on loudspeaker, Gong Yi heard everything clearly. Ma Zhixuan was so naïve; Gong Yi was experienced so he didn’t need to ask to imagine how many people Ma Zhixuan’s actions could infuriate. Didn’t his wife almost go into labor from being so angry? Gong Yi was somewhat worried and even more annoyed at Ma Zhixuan. Such a privileged heir, if it weren’t for Ma Yongchun covering for him, he would’ve been nowhere by now. Zhou Cheng had not yet calmed down, and angrily kicked a mound of snow, sending snow flying everywhere. He ignored Gong Yi, and Li Wangsheng’s call came through again. On the phone, Li Wangsheng, with a sad face, said, “The Wood Shaving Factory has started production, the firewood has been loaded, cart after cart, all hauled away.” “They said this time the factory dealt with only three trees, and who knows when they’ll start again.” The carpenters worked quickly, the wood-shaving machine roaring, and in no time, a tree was shaved down by a third. Li Wangsheng had inquired, and the loaded firewood would be dispatched to the garrison points in Xiang City and City B. Under Gong Yi’s command, each of these garrison points was supplied with hundreds of pounds of silver charcoal, and now each point was also getting hundreds of pounds of wood. While the carpenters were discussing this, Li Wangsheng couldn’t help but feel envious. He reported all this to Zhou Cheng, leaving Zhou Cheng feeling both angry and jealous. Look at Gong Yi, then look at him—Zhou Cheng then hung up the phone on Li Wangsheng. He asked Gong Yi, who had stopped nearby, “What do we do now?” Gong Yi looked at him coolly, “What are you asking me for? I just came to your C City to catch someone, not to do business.” “No, man~” Zhou Cheng leaned in, a look of irritation on his face, “Can you speak to Sister Hua for me? Leave some firewood for me, I really don’t have time to be self-sufficient here, just consider it doing me a favor.” “In this cold weather, those of us without wives have cold beds, and without central heating, we can’t even sleep well at night.” Just pity a single dog and give me some advice!!! Gong Yi straightened his waist, looking at Zhou Cheng, the single dog, with sympathy. Since Zhou Cheng was a man without a wife, Gong Yi decided to provide a clear path for the single Garrison members. He cleared his throat, adjusting his tone, “You know my wife, she treasures money like life itself. I always settle accounts clearly with her, and she doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of me.” “As long as you have something to trade with her, something profitable, she won’t care about stuff like Ma Zhixuan or Wang Zhixuan.” Gong Yi’s words were an eye-opener for Zhou Cheng who had never dealt with women before. It turned out that the trick to win a woman was to overwhelm her with money. Zhou Cheng realized this. He immediately called Li Wangsheng, asking him to continue buying firewood at the contract price. Li Wangsheng hesitated, glancing back at the obstinate Ma Zhixuan and asked, “But where do we get the money? All our funds are allocated by the management.” Zhou Cheng gritted his teeth, “If the management includes someone like Ma Zhixuan, neither you nor I will have good days ahead. No money, no money? Then use the batch of fabric we found last time as a pledge to Sister Hua.” Pledge it to Sister Hua and use the money from this batch of fabric to buy firewood. After all, the several hundred thousand tons of fabric was found by the C City Garrison. Now, if Ma Zhixuan refuses to buy firewood, the Garrison would obviously have to find a way to keep warm on its own. Are we really supposed to be rescuing people, cracking down on crimes, protecting the city and the survivors, and still have to go out and gather firewood to keep warm? Not to put it too bluntly, but if the Garrison picks all the firewood around C City, what are the survivors supposed to do? Should the survivors travel even further to gather firewood? Following Zhou Cheng’s instructions, Li Wangsheng hurriedly said to Ah Fu, “Our Garrison Commander Zhou said that we have several hundred thousand tons of fabric we’d like to trade with Sister Hua for firewood.” Standing behind Li Wangsheng, Ma Zhixuan’s expression stiffened, and he shouted, “Li Wangsheng!” Li Wangsheng ignored him and continued speaking to Ah Fu, “I heard Sister Hua is collecting fabric. It’s best to do this business directly with our garrison.” Ah Fu nodded his head and turned around to call Hua Mi for instructions. Meanwhile, Ma Zhixuan was beside himself with rage, he stormed up to Li Wangsheng and gritted his teeth, “You’re just a squadron leader, who gave you the right to decide on your own? Do you realize how ugly this will make things look?” “People might even think that our C City Garrison and the management are splitting apart!” Li Wangsheng lifted his eyelids to look at Ma Zhixuan, “Haven’t you gotten the news? We’ve already split. Our Commander Zhou said, if you’re still in management, our C City Garrison will henceforth be self-sufficient.” Hearing this, Ma Zhixuan hadn’t even had time to react before Qin Zhen stormed over, furious...
