#160 - Chapter 160 Zong Zhengyue's Test

“Fourth business: security collaboration. When the settlement encounters a crisis, the Mercenary Guild will cooperate with the command to jointly respond to the crisis and maintain security.”

“Fifth business: armed escort. This is simple: providing paid armed escort services for organizations and individuals. The cost is comprehensively calculated based on the level of danger, distance, and number of personnel.”

“Okay, I won’t introduce some other businesses one by one. If you need anything, you can always go to the Mercenary Guild for consultation and understanding.”

“Oh, right, let me add something. Currently, we have a group of new trainees undergoing actual combat training, using the latest Type 2 laser guns. After the meeting, I will arrange a plane to take you officers to observe on-site.”

Zhang Yuan Kui didn't bother to solicit their opinions. After the meeting, he would arrange for staff to take the military personnel directly to the Mercenary Guild. According to Dongfang Chen's instructions, the underground base tour would not be open to them for the time being.

After speaking, Zhang Yuan Kui returned the stage to the host.

“Thank you, Guild Leader Tian Sha, for the detailed explanation. That's all for the morning. In the afternoon, Chairman Niu of our Huatong Chamber of Commerce will introduce the specific matters of branch establishment. Next is lunch time, please move to the banquet hall. If you have any questions, you can consult the staff around you.”

The military didn't need to participate in the afternoon's content, so after the meeting, they went to the Mercenary Guild directly, led by the staff.

Yan Zhengping and Zongzhen Yue, the two commanders, didn't go. After lunch, they found an office to chat.

“Old Yan, thank you for the reminder about the last matter, otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake,” Zongzhen Yue said.

“Stop with that. Is that how you express your gratitude? Just moving your lips, what kind of thanks is that?” Yan Zhengping laughed.

“What else can I do? Among the several military regions, only your Southwest Military Region is rolling in money. Would you even care about my meager offerings?” Zongzhen Yue said without blushing.

“That was earned by the soldiers fighting bloody battles, what does it have to do with you, kid?” Yan Zhengping glanced at him.

“Come on! You strongly supported the Huatong Chamber of Commerce regarding the missile launcher matter last time. The benefits you received couldn't have been small, right?” Zongzhen Yue didn't believe it.

“Don't talk nonsense! I only conveyed the other party's conditions. Everyone voted, who supported whom? How did I support them?” Yan Zhengping didn't admit it.

“There's one thing you overlooked: the Huatong Chamber of Commerce doesn't do business with the military. What kind of business dealings could you have with the Huatong Chamber of Commerce? You can fool others with that lie, but you can't fool me!” Zongzhen Yue retorted.

“I say I have them, so I have them. Is it any of your business?” Yan Zhengping didn't plan to explain any further. The more he explained, the more loopholes there would be, so he simply started acting like a rogue.

“I'm just wondering, how did Fangfang, that girl, get on Dongfang Chen's good side?” Zongzhen Yue seemed to be talking to himself, but it was clearly meant for Yan Zhengping to hear.

“You know Dongfang Chen?” Yan Zhengping was taken aback.

This kid is usually very careful and rarely shows his face in front of outsiders. How did Zongzhen Yue find out?

Therefore, the most likely possibility is that Dongfang Chen contacted him proactively.

But why would Dongfang Chen contact him proactively? It was probably because of the zombie siege incident before.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhengping smiled slightly and replied:

“Sure! Of course!”

“Aren't you worried that I'll get my hands on the supply of goods?” Zongzhen Yue asked.

“What do I have to worry about? I told you before, I didn't arrange for Fangfang to have the military agency rights. I couldn't even interfere, do you think you, Zongzhen Yue, have more advantages than me? What happened in the end? You were turned down, right?” Yan Zhengping teased.

Zongzhen Yue didn't believe it before, but after his last contact with Dongfang Chen, he believed it.

He was just saying this today to confirm it.

As long as Yan Zhengping didn't get the agency rights, he would feel balanced.

“What exactly is Dongfang Chen's background? From my observation, the technology he possesses, even pre-crisis China, didn't have. Because of this, I even specifically had the archives department check the electronic files backed up in the military database,” Zongzhen Yue said.

“Oh? What did you find?” Yan Zhengping was also a little curious; he didn't know either.

“Looks like you don't know either.” Zongzhen Yue observed Yan Zhengping's expression and smiled slyly.

“Stop with that! Just get to the point!” Yan Zhengping glared at him.

“The files show that he originally graduated from Kyoto University as a top student. His parents' information is blank, and his guardian is an old woman, presumably his grandmother. However, this old woman passed away a few years ago. Judging from his social security data and tax payment information, he never worked after graduation and had no stable income,” Zongzhen Yue said.

“Anything else?” Yan Zhengping asked.

“There's some other information that's a bit strange.” Zongzhen Yue was being mysterious.

“Just say the important points!” Yan Zhengping urged.

“In the few months before the virus outbreak, he registered 23 companies almost on the same day. And he made a lot of investments in a very short period of time.”

“And then?” Yan Zhengping asked. After talking for so long, he still hadn't gotten to the point.

“That's all.” Zongzhen Yue said.
