Chapter 79

I'm sorry, I had some things to deal with today, so the update is a bit late. From now on, I'll update around 1 PM! The next day, Hu Hao followed Colonel Zhang to the armory, and after entering Factory Manager Wang's office, Hu Hao prepared to draw the diagrams. He had made up his mind; if he didn't draw them, Colonel Zhang would definitely not let him off. Colonel Zhang had always been eager to return to the combat unit!

At the armory, as Colonel Zhang put it: "I can't even hold a bullet steady with two fingers, let alone reload it. What a joke!"

Since Hu Hao entered the office and Colonel Zhang left, Factory Manager Wang looked at Hu Hao differently. "Hey, Bullshit King, why are you staring at me like that?" Hu Hao felt extremely uncomfortable under Factory Manager Wang's resentful gaze!

"Hey, Second Clumsy, how about helping me out? If you help me, I won't force you to learn blacksmithing anymore. And after you finish the machine, you can do whatever you want!" Factory Manager Wang said. "Hmm, what kind of help? Tell me more!" Hu Hao said, moving his chair back, leaning on it, and putting his legs on the desk. Factory Manager Wang was furious inside; this was his office, and that bastard had his feet on the desk. Normally, he would have beaten him with a hammer, but not today. Yesterday, Engineer Li went to see Battalion Commander Li, but Battalion Commander Li wouldn't listen and said he would come to break his old bones. At his age, how could he withstand Battalion Commander Li's torment?

So, he had no choice but to find Hu Hao to help him deal with it. Seeing Hu Hao like this, Factory Manager Wang had to endure it. There was already a big problem on the other side, and if he provoked Hu Hao here, he would really have no place to stay in the armory.

"Second Clumsy, who won the fight between you and Battalion Commander Li yesterday?" Factory Manager Wang asked carefully, afraid that Hu Hao would remember something and get angry. But Hu Hao really didn't think about it; he had a good fight last night!

"Pfft. Him? I could take him and his men like they were kids!" Hu Hao said proudly. Factory Manager Wang was delighted to hear this! That was the effect he wanted.

"Hey, Second Clumsy, look, Battalion Commander Li is trying to cause trouble for me. Can you go and mediate for me?" Factory Manager Wang said.

"He's causing trouble for you? What kind of trouble? Why is he causing trouble for you! But it makes sense; you, Bullshit King, have infected the entire armory with your bullshitting. Before I beat him up, he was bullshitting to me too. After I beat him up, he's not blaming you for passing on this bad habit, right?" Hu Hao said. Factory Manager Wang was at a loss, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. What was he talking about!

"It's not that. Let's not talk about the bullshitting for now. That guy said I was being sneaky yesterday. I was just trying to be nice and assign two guards to your brother so he could have someone to command and do some work. You're not good at fine work, right?" Factory Manager Wang asked. Hu Hao nodded, agreeing that he wasn't good at fine work, signaling him to continue.

Factory Manager Wang continued, "Yesterday, you beat up his men, so he came to take revenge on you. But he couldn't beat you, so he took it out on me, saying he would break my bones. Don't you think I'm being wronged?"

"Hmm, a bit!" Hu Hao said.

"Exactly, so I want you to help me resolve this. If you do, you'll be the third in command at the armory, with me as the first, your brother as the second, and you as the third. How about it?" Factory Manager Wang continued to entice him.

"No way, that's too easy for you. I won't go!" Hu Hao said, continuing to look at him.

"Then what will it take for you to help me?" Factory Manager Wang said straightforwardly.

"My brother said that he's been working at the armory these days, but he can't hold a bullet steady. He only knows how to command in battles!" Hu Hao said.

"Then what do you want your brother to do?" Factory Manager Wang asked.

"Is there any easy job where he can just walk around and give orders when needed? Do you have something like that?" Hu Hao asked.

"No!" Factory Manager Wang said.

"Oh, then you solve it yourself. Don't bother me while I'm drawing. My brother said he needs a diagram by this morning. If he beats me up, I'll come to break your bones, not Battalion Commander Li!" Hu Hao said, putting his feet down.

"Don't, how about this: let your brother specifically patrol the workshops and manage the workers. How about that?" Factory Manager Wang said.

"That's more like it. Being a factory manager is all about this kind of work. You bullied my brother into working at the armory before, and I didn't hold it against you. If you do it again, I won't let you off!" Hu Hao said.

"What do you mean? I'm the factory manager, and I also go blacksmithing!" Factory Manager Wang said.

"That's just you showing off, always bragging about how good you are at blacksmithing!" Hu Hao said disdainfully.

"Fine, I'll show off. I agree to your conditions. When will you go and resolve this for me?" Factory Manager Wang said.

"Right now, I'm not drawing anymore!" Hu Hao stood up and said.

"But didn't you say your brother would beat you up if you didn't finish a diagram by this morning? How about going after lunch? You can rest then!" Factory Manager Wang said, hoping Hu Hao would finish the diagram quickly.

"Bullshit. I work for you during office hours, and you want to use my rest time too! Go tell my brother that you've given me a task. I won't finish a diagram this morning, no, not today at all!" Hu Hao said.

"Ah! But you said you could finish it by this morning. Why not today?" Factory Manager Wang asked, surprised.

"Are you going or not?" Hu Hao said impatiently. "What's wrong with me taking a day off!"

"Fine, I'll go!" Factory Manager Wang said through gritted teeth. "Alright, tell me how to find Battalion Commander Li. I'll go and play with him now!" Hu Hao said.

"Go out of the armory and follow the main road. At the first fork, take the right one. It's about 500 meters!" Factory Manager Wang said.

After hearing Factory Manager Wang, Hu Hao left the armory and headed towards the guard camp. A few soldiers on duty at the fork saw Hu Hao and whispered, "Is that the one our battalion commander was talking about yesterday? Should we report it?"

"Of course, who else could it be? You stay here, and I'll go report it," one of them said, quickly heading to where Battalion Commander Li was staying.

Battalion Commander Li was still in bed resting. He had been in pain until the middle of the night, but strangely, as long as he didn't move, he didn't feel any pain. But who could stay still all night? Battalion Commander Li had woken up several times in pain!
