Chapter 1210 A Traitor Appears
The brothers in the surrounding houses weren't idle either. After putting down their luggage, they immediately went down to familiarize themselves with the surrounding area and check if anyone was specifically targeting us. At this moment, we were working behind enemy lines, and we couldn't trust anyone in front of us. These people could be Japanese agents, or rather, people bribed by Japanese agents.
When it was time for dinner, his men brought back news that their operation had indeed caused quite a stir. Many Japanese spies were patrolling the streets, their mission apparently being to check for any suspicious individuals appearing in the southern district.
When Li Shaoyi and his group went to the restaurant, Miss Marina was standing nearby. She gave Li Shaoyi a look, signaling him to sit at a nearby table for a while. However, when Miss Baiyun saw Miss Marina, she deliberately tightened her grip on Li Shaoyi's hand a little.
"Women like this aren't exactly clean in hotels."
Miss Baiyun realized that she had gone too far. Li Shaoyi was just her boss, and she had only felt a certain attraction to him during their time together.
After saying those words, she realized she shouldn't have said them, so she awkwardly let go of Li Shaoyi's arm and went with the others to order food.
It was clear that Ms. Marina was off work. However, these tasks should be completed properly for the clients regardless of whether it's during or after get off work hours. You can't just leave things unfinished because you're off work, can you? That would seriously affect your performance.
Since Li Shaoyi checked in, the room fee and service fee alone have already amounted to several hundred silver dollars. For a hotel like this, having just one customer like this every day would make their year-end reports look very good. Therefore, Miss Marina was determined to handle Li Shaoyi's requests perfectly, even if it meant working overtime.
"I don't know what you do, and so far no one is watching you. But things aren't safe on the streets. I can give you some information. It's said that the Mountain City Special Agents have arrived in Huangpu, and in large numbers, targeting an intelligence center in the hands of the Japanese. We don't know the specifics of what they're doing."
For a hotel front desk manager to get such vague information is quite remarkable. That 100 yuan was definitely well spent!
"I want to get information about the Yamashiro Special Agents and the Japanese intelligence center."
Li Shaoyi is now acting as a middleman. He doesn't expect Miss Marina to provide a lot of information, but it's just a matter of spending some money. What if he gets information here that his own people didn't? Wouldn't that be a way to salvage the situation?
"Sir, you're really meddling in other people's business. But news from both sides is currently very hot."
When Miss Marina spoke, she held up three fingers, indicating that it must start at 300 silver dollars.
Li Shaoyi didn't say much, simply pointing out 400 yuan in legal tender, and Miss Marina left. He estimated that he wouldn't receive further news until tomorrow morning. They wouldn't have any special informants waiting here; they'd have to go out and gather information themselves. Of course, it would all be rather vague, but this vague information was enough for Li Shaoyi.
"Order whatever you like."
After breaking up with Miss Marina, Li Shaoyi also came to Miss Baiyun's place. There were two other tables around with people who were ours, but we pretended not to know each other. The restaurant was quite crowded, unlike other restaurants.
The restaurant wasn't usually that crowded, mainly because the food was mediocre and not particularly delicious. It was also safer to eat there, as the people staying there all had some issues. Eating out carried some risk, so it was best to be patient.
Miss Baiyun took a bite of her steak, and her face immediately showed displeasure. Clearly, the steak here was about the same quality as a street-side food stall. Seeing this, Li Shaoyi immediately snapped his fingers at the waiter in the distance with a smile.
"Go to the Grenaline restaurant and order two steaks for us."
Li Shaoyi pointed to a Western restaurant across the street and said, "The food there is pretty good in the whole of Pujiang. But ordering takeout from another restaurant while you're at one is very impolite." Just as the waiter was about to refuse, Li Shaoyi handed him two bills: 100 yuan for two steaks and 20 yuan as a tip.
Money talks, and this was certainly true at that moment. When the waiter accepted the 20 yuan tip, he bowed obsequiously to Li Shaoyi and then disappeared from the restaurant. In less than 10 minutes, two steaks were brought over, along with the utensils opposite them.
It's not that we won't provide that service, but you have to pay enough. The waiter crosses the street to get your food, and half of the 20 yuan goes into their pocket. The two steaks only cost a little over 60 yuan, and the remaining 30 yuan goes to the restaurant and the kitchen.
You don't need to do anything; they just borrow your chair, and you immediately earn over 50 yuan. No restaurant could refuse that. Although it breaks their rules, rules are made by people, right? When the profit is enough, the rules can be changed.
Miss Baiyun looked at the steak in front of her with some surprise. It was clearly much tastier than the previous one, and she could tell just by the smell. She never expected that such a thing could happen in a Western restaurant in Pujiang. She had only ever heard that Western restaurants had very strict rules and didn't allow outside food to be served. It seemed that those rules were only for ordinary people. For wealthy people like Li Shaoyi, as long as you could afford it, you could do whatever you wanted.
After enjoying a delicious meal, Li Shaoyi and his group prepared to return to their rooms. After all, it wasn't a good time to wander around outside. Miss Marina was already waiting at the door; the news, which they had expected for tomorrow morning, was already there.
It seems they definitely give special treatment to such generous customers.
"A traitor has emerged among the Mountain City special agents; the Japanese already know that the technician sent by the Mountain City special agents is named Baiyun..."
