After knowing that the Zhou family had helped him get promoted, Lu Yu wondered why the Zhou family had helped him so much.
One had to know that to push a team that wasn't even an official regiment commander into the division headquarters, it would require a lot of resources.
Lu Yu could not understand why the Zhou family had invested so many resources on him.
When only Lu Yu and Zhou Wei were left.
Lu Yu saluted Zhou Wei solemnly and said,""Thank you for the Zhou family's help. I hereby guarantee that if the Zhou family's goods are stolen in my jurisdiction in the future, I, Lu, will definitely return the goods to the Zhou family in good condition.”
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Wei could not help but smile bitterly.
He knew what Lu Yu meant.
He had already made it clear that Lu Yu could only guarantee the safety of the Zhou family's goods in his jurisdiction. He could not care about anything else.
To ensure the safety of the Zhou family's goods in his defense zone was equivalent to returning the favor of the Zhou family for helping him this time.
Lu Yu's attitude was clear. He would not be recruited by the Zhou family.
Zhou Wei smiled wryly as he thought about how he had not even said anything, but it was as if he already knew what he was up to.
Not only was he good at leading troops to war, but he was also so good at the ways of the world.
To Lu Yu, this was purely a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.
He said those words just now to repay the Zhou family for their help this time.
He did not expect Zhou Wei to think that he had already seen through it and rejected their offer.
Even if Zhou Wei did not misunderstand him, Lu Yu would never agree to Zhou Wei's proposal to recruit Lu Yu.
Because he had the general's token in hand, there was no need for him to rely on anyone. His foundation lay in the general's order, not that transfer order or order.
The general's order was where his confidence lay.
Zhou Wei saw that Lu Yu had understood, so he told him everything.
"Regiment Commander Lu, the Zhou family has no other intentions. We hope that you can help the Zhou family in the future." Zhou Wei said bitterly.”
Lu Yu found Zhou Wei's words strange.
Judging from Wang Dabao's and Director Gao's attitude towards Zhou Wei, the Zhou family obviously had a lot of power in the provincial city. They did not need his help, who had just become the regiment commander.
" Judging from Director Gao's attitude towards you, the Zhou family is a big family in the provincial capital. Why would they need my help?" Lu Yu asked curiously.”
Zhou Wei saw that he had already made things clear, and Lu Yu was also a sensible person, so he told Lu Yu about the twists and turns.
"My father followed Mr. Xu's revolution in his early years. After Mr. Xu passed away, my father retired from business. As time passed, fewer and fewer people were willing to give my father face. Otherwise, how could our Zhou family be deceived by this Wang Dabao?”
Lu Yu listened to Zhou Wei's story. Anyway, it was too far away from him, so he treated it as a story.
However, when he heard that Wang Dabao had lied to the Zhou family, his interest was piqued.
"County Head Wang lied to the Zhou family?" Why would County Head Wang lie to the Zhou family?"
"After our goods were robbed by the bandits of Qingkou Stronghold, our Zhou family asked the provincial government to send troops to eliminate these bandits. I didn't expect that because my father was getting old, the provincial government only made a casual arrangement. A few days later, Wang Dabao sent a message saying that the bandits had been eliminated, but the goods had not been found. To our Zhou Clan, as long as the bandits are eliminated, the goods are not important. However, I didn't expect that after a period of time, the bandits of the Qingkou Stronghold would rob our Zhou family's goods again.
This time, even my reclusive father went to the provincial government to put pressure on him. I didn't expect the people from the provincial government to still not give face to my father. Fortunately, Commander Lu led the troops this time. Otherwise, my Zhou family's reputation would be ruined. Fortunately, the master of the 107th division was an old acquaintance of my father's, and he was willing to give face to my father. Otherwise, Lu Yu's position would be in danger.”
"My father had a good friend in the upper echelons of the party, but he went to Nanjing with Mr. Jiang. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid that father's good friend can't take care of our Zhou family, so I decided to make friends with a few of them during the holidays so that they can serve as a foil in the future.”
Lu Yu only realized that there were so many twists and turns after listening to it. It was a great experience.
He finally understood why he was the special regiment commander, understood his situation, and knew how to get along with the other officers in the military camp.
At present, Lu Yu was like a rootless grass that could only drift about. Now that he had the Zhou family as his backer, he could be considered to have someone in the army.
All he had to do was to ensure that nothing would happen to the Zhou family's goods within his jurisdiction.
However, for Lu Yu, this was not a problem at all. After he took office, the first thing he had to do was to get rid of the bandits and robbers in his jurisdiction. This was battle credits. What he lacked the most now was battle credits.
Lu Yu needed someone in the army to speak up for him, while the Zhou family needed someone to ensure the safety of his goods. Both of them had their own needs.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu suddenly became enthusiastic. After all, there was no conflict of interest between the two of them. They could totally cooperate.
Therefore, Lu Yu said enthusiastically," Brother Zhou, don't worry. If there's a problem with the Zhou family's goods, let me know. I'm not good at other things, but I'm good at leading troops to war."”
Seeing how enthusiastic Lu Yu was, Zhou Wei was sure that he was moved by the conditions he had proposed, so he said readily,""Thank you, Brother Lu. I'll ask for your help when the time comes.”
Lu Yu laughed." Of course, of course. Although I'm not well-educated, my third uncle has always taught me to be grateful. The Zhou family has helped me a lot this time. I, Lu, will definitely help you."”
At this point, Lu Yu hesitated, not knowing if he should say it.
Zhou Weihuan and Lu Yu hesitated, then said sincerely,""Brother Lu, what difficulties do you have? Although my father is old, he still has some face.”
Lu Yu heard Zhou Wei's sincere words and told him about the gun.
"Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I didn't find any of your Zhou family's goods after we exterminated the bandits. However, I found guns and ammunition in their warehouse. As a soldier, I love guns and ammunition, so I took the initiative to hide them. Now that I see Brother Zhou treating me so sincerely, I feel uneasy. I'd better return them to you.”
Although Lu Yu said that, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Wei.
When he heard Lu Yu's words, he said straightforwardly,""My Zhou family is a businessman. What's the use of guns and ammunition? These guns and ammunition can only be used to their greatest effect in Brother Lu's hands.”
Seeing how Zhou Wei had given the guns to him without hesitation, he could not help but praise the Zhou family for their generosity.
Guns and ammunition were more useful than anything else in the war-torn era. He didn't expect the Zhou family to reject them just like that.
