44: Chapter 44 Recruitment Order

"Boss Niu, please have a seat," Mayor Gong said.

"Alright!"

"Boss Niu, why have you come to see me today? Is there something you need?"

"Mayor Gong, I heard that our Qinghe Settlement is moving north?" Niu Xingwang asked.

Many people already knew about this; it wasn't a secret.

"Yes, that's right!" Mayor Gong admitted.

"Then, where will it be relocated to?"

"Currently, it's tentatively planned to be diverted to two places: Huaizhou and Mozhou," Mayor Gong did not conceal.

"Then, Mayor Gong, where will you be transferred to?" Niu Xingwang asked.

"Boss Niu, you're a bit strange today. Is there something going on?" Mayor Gong asked with a frown.

"It's like this, Mayor Gong. I plan to establish a chamber of commerce. I was thinking that wherever you go, I'll set up the headquarters there," Niu Xingwang explained.

This statement was half-true, half-false. The purpose of saying it this way was more of a psychological hint, implying to Mayor Gong that he was his loyal supporter.

"Oh? Boss Niu wants to establish a chamber of commerce? What kind of business?" Mayor Gong asked.

Clearly, Mayor Gong's attitude had become much friendlier.

"Nothing much. Just buying and selling some daily necessities," Niu Xingwang replied.

"Hmm! That's good. Currently, there's a shortage of supplies in the Settlement, and we really need businessmen like Boss Niu, who are responsible and have a sense of social responsibility, to engage in the collection and circulation of supplies," Mayor Gong spoke grandly.

"However, Mayor Gong, without your wise leadership, honestly, I don't feel at ease."

Niu Xingwang still wanted to know where Mayor Gong would be transferred.

"Boss Niu, rest assured. Our Huaguo is a Huaguo under parliamentary governance. Wherever you do business, you will be guaranteed."

Mayor Gong's words were clearly insincere. What guarantee? Where was the guarantee? Didn't they not pay a single cent for the construction of the Settlement before? It almost starved him to death.

"Mayor Gong, you know my situation more or less. If it weren't for my promise to donate all the engineering fees, I wouldn't be able to see you today. Tell me, can I feel at ease?" Niu Xingwang feigned crying with grievance.

It couldn't be entirely called feigning, as the grievance was genuine.

"Ah! Boss Niu. We all see your contributions, and the people of Binjiang City will thank you. At this critical juncture of life and death, you and I should view personal interests lightly. Don't you agree?" Mayor Gong lectured insincerely.

"Mayor Gong is right. You are right! We can't just think about ourselves. Well then, how about this, you help me open a certificate, and I'll go directly to Huaizhou. Coincidentally, I still have ten thousand catties of grain, and I'll take it all to Huaizhou too!" Niu Xingwang suddenly stood up and said righteously.

Upon hearing about the ten thousand catties of grain, Mayor Gong immediately became anxious, thinking:

"Oh my, you old ox! Why didn't you mention so much grain earlier? If I could take this to Mos, it would be an incredible political achievement. He really is an old fox!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Boss Niu! Look at your temper, why are you so impatient! Even with such a spirit of dedication, we still need to master methods and approaches! Mos is to the south, closer to our Binjiang. How good would it be for you to go to Mos? Why go to Huaizhou?"

"Didn't I just hear a couple of days ago that Huaizhou is short on grain? So, wherever they need me, I'll go there," Boss Niu blurted out. In this day and age, where isn't there a shortage of grain? Do you need to hear about it?

"Hmph! You, you. Boss Niu, I'll tell you the truth. Most of the people from our Qinghe Settlement are going to be transferred to Mos. The Meilin Ancient Town in Mos was originally a 5A-rated scenic spot, which I'm sure you've visited before. Meilin Ancient Town is our destination for this relocation! Think about it, how safe Meilin is, with such high city walls all around, zombies absolutely cannot climb in. Trust me, you won't go wrong, everyone will go to Meilin together," Mayor Gong explained in detail.

Indeed, self-interest is the foundation of negotiation.

"Alright! Mayor Gong, I'll listen to you! We'll go to Meilin!" Niu Xingwang said, feigning excitement.

"Excellent! That's right! How about this, it's almost dinner time, so don't leave, let's have a simple meal together."

And so, to the surprise of everyone, Niu Xingwang and Mayor Gong had dinner together.

Everyone had a shared thought in their minds: the old Boss Niu was back.

The Soldier on duty at the gate, upon hearing the news, felt a shiver down his spine:

"Damn it! It seems I have to spit out the benefits I received!"

...

Three days later.

Yusu Province, Mozhou City, Suiyang Anbu.

"Wow, so many people, what are they doing?"

Luoer and her brother, Shen Wengang, had just arrived after several days of travel.

"Let's go, let's take a look," Shen Wengang said.

"Recruitment Order?" Shen Wengang had never seen something like this before.

In the past, he often saw walls plastered with missing person notices, job advertisements, and small ads. When he was a boxing coach, he even went out to put them up himself.

The recruitment order roughly stated that four people had gone into Mos City two days ago, but there had been no news for two days. It sought to recruit a few people to go into the city to search for them, promising a generous reward. The publisher was Mei Wenhua.

Mei Wenhua, no culture? What kind of name is that?

Shen Wengang felt like laughing a little.

The onlookers discussed animatedly, and Shen Wengang stood by and listened.

It turned out that this Mei Wenhua was a local businessman, quite famous, the big boss of a chain of supermarkets. Although he was now hiding in the Settlement like everyone else, he had supplies, and his life was still very comfortable.

As for the relationship between him and the four people to be searched for in the recruitment order, it wasn't stated, and no one knew.

Listening further, it was just some idle gossip, nothing of value. So Shen Wengang left with his younger sister.
