371 The Military Supplies Department’s Counterattack (3)
Li Sijia probably had something to do with the incident at Orphanage No. 15.
As soon as Ning Shi got off the warship, he was blocked by Wei Yanping at the port.
Seeing Wei Yanping’s anxious expression, Ning Shi said to Old Li, “Master, you can go with Teacher Yuan. He has already arranged the accommodation. I have something urgent to deal with first.”
Old Li nodded and left with the teachers.
Ning Shi followed Wei Yanping into a luxurious flying car. Wei Yanping then said, “My lord, the military supplies department is looking for trouble regarding the mechanical limb modification shop!”
Seeing Wei Yanping’s impatient expression, Ning Shi smiled and said gently, “Calm down. With me around, any problem can be solved.”
Ning Shi’s words seemed to have magical power. Wei Yanping suddenly quieted down.
He took a deep breath and said calmly, “Since five days ago, we have received complaints or disputes in the mechanical limb modification shops of the major mercenary markets in Norse City.
“At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it. I thought that it was because the modification engineer didn’t communicate well with the customer’s needs and wanted to negotiate to resolve it. Later, he found that there were more and more complaints in the past few days.
“I realized that something was wrong. Just as I was about to investigate, a group of people had already surrounded the entrance of the mechanical limb modification shop at Gate 1’s mercenary market.
“These people claimed that our shop modified their limbs at will, causing them to be permanently disabled. They blocked the door of the shop and refused to let us open, demanding compensation from us.
“I realized that something was wrong. As expected, since yesterday, all 17 of our stores in Norse City have been surrounded.
“The administrative department received tons of complaint letters and had no choice but to bring people to close down our shop.
‘Because I gave Morris a lot of benefits before, he hypocritically told me that the military supplies department was behind this.
‘The administrative department can only follow the market rules and temporarily close our shop. Only after all the complaints are resolved can the administrative department unseal it and we can reopen our shop.
‘Morris hinted to me many times in his words that I should talk to the Quartermaster directly and discuss it face-to-face.”
Ning Shi sneered and said, ‘Morris has quite a big appetite. I reckon that it’s not just the military supplies department behind this. The administrative department must also be involved.
‘Once you negotiate with the quartermaster, Morris will act as a mediator. In the end, the profits of the mechanical limb modification shop would definitely be shared by the military supplies department and the administrative department.
‘The administrative department still doesn’t want to see the academy achieve economic independence. ‘
Wei Yanping nodded. ‘Yes, my lord. I also saw the problem, so I didn’t dare to make the decision myself. I waited for you to come back and make the decision.
Ning Shi couldn’t be bothered to play Tai Chi with this bunch of maggots from the Norse Republican Party. He thought for a moment and said to Wei Yanping, ‘The mechanical limb modification shop will temporarily suspend business.
Don’t stop the training and research of the modification skills.
“I’ll handle the military supplies department and the administrative department. You don’t have to worry about them for now.”
Wei Yanping was now obedient to Ning Shi. With Ning Shi’s arrangement, the academy would lose a huge amount of profits every day if the mechanical limb modification shop suspended its operations.
However, Wei Yanping had no objections and resolutely carried out Ning Shi’s orders.
Ning Shi was very satisfied with Wei Yanping’s attitude. He was a good agent.
After the two of them finished their discussion, the flying car sent Ning Shi to the dormitory. After Ning Shi got off the car and entered the villa, he sent a message to Wang Yuanyi.
‘There’s a change of plans. All members of the Hermit Pavilion will go to the capital, Norse City, and meet up with me to kill target number two..”
