After Xia Houjin of Daxia Company sent his secretary to Starlight Company, he once again used Kuangshi as the intermediary to make a request for negotiation.

After Qin Xiaoyu received the news, he immediately found Ning Zhe: "There is news from Daxia Company again. Kuangshi came here this morning and said that Xia Houjin's secretary wanted to meet with us, and he was already there

We are on the way, how do we respond to this matter?"

"Delay time!" Ning Zhe heard this and said to Qin Xiaoyu: "It's a good thing that people from Daxia Company are here, but don't rush to talk to them. After they arrive, find an excuse to hold them back. As long as Daxia Company

If people are here, the company is safe. They sent people over at this time, which is a good thing."

Qin Xiaoyu nodded and asked, "How long do we need to delay them?"

"Try to delay it as long as possible, but do it in a realistic way. Don't let the people of Daxia Company feel that we are deliberately dragging them. The relationship between the three companies is already relatively sensitive. If we let Daxia Company

I feel that we are abnormal and can easily have counterproductive effects." Ning Zhe thought for a while and said, "Leave the reception to Zhang Fang. He will be more experienced in handling this kind of thing. You two can discuss the company's matters.

.”

Qin Xiaoyu looked at Ning Zhe: "What, you want to leave?"

Ning Zhe shrugged and said, "Well, I have something to do here. I need to go back to the Independence Camp to negotiate with Hu Yihan. Since the Starlight Company was exposed, only the people from the Jing clan have not negotiated with us, which shows that they have ideas about us.

We still don’t know when the people in the gang will attack us, so I must deal with the aftermath within a limited time.”

After Lu Meng left Wugu City, he took Hu Lang with him in a military convoy returning to Daosui City. After getting off the bus outside the city, he was picked up by an off-road vehicle with military license plates and got into the vehicle.

Inside, I met Lu Qingwei, the director of the Confidential Division of the Forbidden Army Headquarters. He smiled and said hello: "Long time no see!"

"It's been a long time!" Lu Qingwei glanced at Lu Meng, handed over a cigarette and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a few months, why do you act like a refugee?"

Lu Meng took the cigarette and responded: "Wugucheng is a frontier fortress, and the living environment is incomparable to that inside the fortress. How can we, grassroots officers who spend all day on the front lines, be like you, a big shot like you who sits in an office and gives advice?

Compare!"

"Go away, don't make fun of me!" Lu Qingwei cursed with a smile, started the vehicle and drove towards the city: "For you, being able to serve in the army is much better than working at the WFP, right?"

Lu Meng smiled bitterly: "Forget it, if I had known today, I would have stayed at the WFP. The grassroots level is a place that can smooth people's fighting spirit. If you really understand the suffering of the people, you will find that what the chaebol propagandizes

It looks like a completely different world from this society!"

"Haha, you are from a noble family after all. You have lived so long and you still don't understand. The peaceful and prosperous times in the reports are for the leaders who live in the temples, not for the people. And the one we need to be thankful for is you.

I have a good family background, and I don’t have to be trampled and exploited at the bottom." Lu Qingwei is a clear-headed person, and does not have the ambition in Lu Meng's heart. He is very open-minded about this kind of thing: "Where are you going?

"

Lu Meng scratched his ears: "WFP."

"WFP?" Lu Qingwei glanced sideways at Lu Meng: "Are you joking, or are you really going? Are you really tired of life in the frontier and want to come back to work?"

"I came back this time to discuss business with people from the WFP, but I also need you to do me a favor..." Lu Meng brought up business and sat in the car to chat with Lu Qingwei.

…

Forty minutes later, Lu Meng opened the door and walked into the office of Yin Deyong, deputy director of the WFP. He smiled at a middle-aged man inside and said hello: "Are you busy, Uncle Yin?"

"Hey, why are you here! Sit down quickly!" Yin Deyong saw Lu Meng coming in and greeted him with a smile: "I heard that you were transferred to the frontier fortress. How are you? Are you adapting there?"

Lu Meng smiled slightly and said: "Everything is fine. Work is the same everywhere. I just returned to Daosui City today and wanted to visit the old leader."

"It's rare that you have such a heart." Yin Deyong poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Meng: "Have you met Director Lu?"

"No." Lu Meng shook his head slightly: "Uncle Yin, to be honest, I came back to Daosui City this time not only to deal with some personal matters, but also to see you specifically."

"See me?" Yin Deyong and Lu Meng looked at each other: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

Although Yin Deyong is the deputy director of the WFP, as a person with a foreign surname, he usually keeps a low profile in the unit and has no regard for power. He is only responsible for the internal affairs of some units in order not to get involved in these political struggles.

Although Yin Deyong was not from the Lu family, he was quite aware of the internal strife in the Lu Tianhe family, so when he heard Lu Meng's words, he was really trembling in his heart, for fear that he would be involved in these rumors.

"Uncle Yin, I want to buy a batch of grain." Lu Meng nodded and said straightforwardly: "I want to buy the old grain and brown rice stored by the WFP."

"That's it?" Yin Deyong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "You don't need to say hello to me about this, just go to the logistics office to find Xiao Li."

"Uncle Yin, Director Li may not be able to help me with this matter." Lu Meng shook his head slightly and said softly: "The amount of food I need is relatively large. Director Li alone may not have the power to make the decision on this kind of matter.

.”

"Oh?" Yin Deyong raised his eyebrows slightly: "How much food do you want?"

Lu Meng responded with bright eyes: "I want the old grain from the five major fortresses in the north and all the Lu family's official granaries!"

When Yin Deyong heard this, his eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot.

The so-called five central fortresses refer to the capital Daosui City and the four surrounding fortresses.

These five fortresses are the most prosperous places of the Lu family and also form the political center. The warehouses inside store a large amount of food, which is enough to maintain the main fortresses of the Lu family for at least half a year.

Every once in a while, the grain stored in these granaries will be replaced and flow into the private market. Those grains that are almost unable to meet the edible standards or are somewhat moldy are the so-called old grains.

Although the granary will not be replaced on a large scale at one time, the amount of old grain replaced every month is still a large amount. Taking Daosui City alone, the amount of old grain replaced every month is calculated as hundreds of tons.
