The Pregnant Mommy Survive on Unlimited Supplies-Chapter 259 - 257 She’s not here to sell barbecue!

The city management commander was working on restoring traffic in D City.

They had a large amount of cotton there.

So if D City could provide them with fabric resources, D City could supply cotton to C City.

Ma Yongchun felt that he had lost control over the resources in C City’s arsenal after his fallout with Qin Zhen.

He urgently needed this deal to regain some control over the arsenal.

So he agreed to the D City commander’s terms, willing to exchange a part of C City’s fabric for a part of D City’s cotton.

Zhong Zimo was the negotiator he sent to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng shook his head,

"We can’t open it, Commander Gong said to keep the gate closed, and we don’t have to manage anything; the people inside, unable to bear the hunger, will rush out on their own."

Hearing this, Zhong Zimo said with a cultured smile,

"How can you say that? Commander Zhou, you are now the garrison commander of C City, and those who don’t know would think you’re just a major under Gong Yi."

According to their ranks, Zhou Cheng and Gong Yi had the same rank, both being the garrison commander of a city.

But now, it was clear that Gong Yi had taken over three cities in succession. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Even though A City was now empty, left only with ruins.

However, Liu Shengyuan alone could represent the entire garrison of A City.

Thus, Gong Yi was now the garrison commander of Xiang City, A City, and B City.

This made it easy for others to see Gong Yi’s rank as higher than Zhou Cheng’s.

Zhong Zimo smiled with a crisp, learned air,

"Commander Zhou, this is something I think needs to be clarified. Although you have a good relationship with Commander Gong, you are not his subordinate."

"I’m very curious, why would you follow his arrangement?"

Zhou Cheng, with a rugged face, frowned and looked at Zhong Zimo, opening his mouth.

Zhong Zimo, understanding, asked,

"Hadn’t you thought of this layer? I know Commander Zhou is an honest man, not as cunning as Commander Gong and not one to talk much, so you might not have thought about this."

As if purposely pausing, Zhong Zimo continued,

"But for those of us involved in big endeavors, it’s still clear that although you both hold the same rank, Commander Zhou, your ability is not inferior to Gong Yi’s, so why follow his arrangement?"

Seeing Zhou Cheng remaining silent, Zhong Zimo didn’t even bother to call Gong Yi "Commander Gong" anymore.

Just used his full name instead.

The dissatisfaction with Gong Yi was quite apparent.

"When the garrison headquarters originally appointed the city garrison commanders, they only assigned Commander Zhou to C City and Gong Yi to nearby Xiang City, which shows that your headquarters also recognized whose capability might be greater."

Zhong Zimo, analyzing based on the economics of the city, knew that C City’s economy was certainly better than Xiang City’s.

And C City was much larger than Xiang City.

So he believed Zhou Cheng of C City should have greater abilities than Gong Yi of Xiang City.

"Today, no matter what, it shouldn’t be Gong Yi arranging your tasks, but you should be above Gong Yi."

Zhong Zimo smiled harmlessly at Zhou Cheng, full of scholarly aura.

Just from Zhong Zimo’s scholarly demeanor alone, Zhou Cheng, a rough man, should have been convinced by his words.

However, Zhou Cheng looked at Zhong Zimo as if he were looking at an idiot.

From a high position, Shi Caixia, holding a telescope, watched for a long while before turning back with a solemn face to Hua Mi, who was barbecuing in the tent, and said,

"Zhong Zimo is here, and he’s not an easy character to deal with; I think we should go down."

Hua Mi was flipping a skewer of potato slices over the fire, casually asked,

"What kind of monster or demon is Zhong Zimo this time?"

But Shi Caixia didn’t answer her, instead taking out her phone to make a call to Qin Zhen.

After over half an hour, Shi Caixia came into the tent from outside, helping Hua Mi with grilling the pork ribs.

She talked about how Ma Yongchun had gone to D City to exchange goods.

Then she added,

"Zhong Zimo is my senior, we graduated from the same university, we both studied law, and he..."

Shi Caixia bit her lower lip, seemingly hesitant, but chose to be direct,

"He is my boyfriend."

"Ah?"

Hua Mi’s attitude finally became more serious.

She looked at Shi Caixia, thought for a moment, then asked,

"You and your boyfriend, one serves Ma Yongchun and the other serves Qin Zhen?"

"And now, with Ma Yongchun and Qin Zhen having fallen out, you two are still together?"

Shi Caixia nodded and quickly said,

"No, I would never let my relationship with Zhong Zimo influence my current work and stance, I know right from wrong."

"I didn’t doubt your professional integrity." Hua Mi laughed.

She looked sympathetically at Shi Caixia,

"So, what are you planning to do now?"

No sooner had she finished speaking when Zhou Cheng burst into the tent,

"That damn Zhong Zimo, beating around the bush for an hour, it took me that long to figure out he was trying to sow discord."

While speaking, Zhou Cheng had already sat down opposite the barbecue stove.

He reached behind Shi Caixia and grabbed a handful of pork ribs, then skillfully seasoned them.

Then, under Shi Caixia’s angry gaze, Zhou Cheng continued eating and saying,

"I listened for over 50 minutes and couldn’t figure it out, huh, he talks in such convoluted ways, such a pretty boy still thinks he can disrupt my bond with Commander Gong, pah."

Zhou Cheng continued eating and cursing.

Standing opposite Zhou Cheng, Shi Caixia’s cheeks puffed up like a blowfish.

She snatched the cumin seasoning from Zhou Cheng’s hand,

"It’s your own stupidity, how do his words wind like mountain paths? He knows he needs to start with you to regain control of the supply depot, and you listened to him for an hour?"

The point was, after Zhou Cheng listened to Zhong Zimo talk for over an hour, he still wasn’t swayed by Zhong Zimo’s silver tongue.

Was it truly a case of the fool’s luck?

Because Zhou Cheng didn’t even understand.

Grinning, Zhou Cheng held out the pork ribs towards Shi Caixia,

"Xiaxia, give me some cumin..."

Then, Zhou Cheng solemnly said,

"This has nothing to do with my intelligence, whether I understand his words or not, even if someone held a gun to my head, I wouldn’t betray my brother."

Then, Zhou Cheng signaled Hua Mi to move away.

It was too bright.

Taking a deep breath, Hua Mi looked at Zhou Cheng, fine, she would leave, Zhou Cheng better watch out.

As Hua Mi was leaving the tent, Zhou Cheng’s whiny voice followed her,

"Xiaxia, help me grill 100 more pork ribs..."

"Go to hell, can’t you do it yourself?"

Shi Caixia exploded in anger, she was Qin Zhen’s secretary, a secretary!

Got it? She wasn’t here to be a grill cook!
