Chapter 24: The heart of defense is indispensable

   After I went back to my room and had a glass of wine with Bradley, I asked some reporters what they were dissatisfied with about the typewriters on the market now, or what they wanted to improve, it was already 1 o'clock in the night.

   Bradley took a sip of the red wine left in the glass and got up to say goodbye.

   Li Changheng did not take the initiative to stay. After all, the two people knew each other for two hours, and the Americans were not so hospitable. Too enthusiastic would make Bradley think he had something to do.

   But it’s okay to let the hotel deliver it by car.

   After all, friends who are professionals like journalists sometimes use it well, and there may be unexpected results.

   Standing outside the hotel, before he personally took Bradley into the car, Bradley suddenly turned around and said, "Henry, can I ask, what kind of craftsman do you want to find?"

  I have worked in Rome for six years, even if I don’t know, I can help you ask my colleagues and friends."

   "Thank you, Joe, but...".

   smiled and looked at the lobby manager who helped Bradley pull the car door.

   The manager gave Li Changheng, a rich captain who gave a tip of one or five dollars, not to mention responsive, but he definitely wanted to make some extra money.

   was a little stupefied for a second, and quickly understood the reaction. Even if Li Changheng hadn't told him to find a handicraft workshop before, but now he cooperates, doesn't it mean that he is coming soon?

   hurriedly said, "Sir, the hotel has helped Mr. Howard to find the best handicraft workshop."

   "Okay", Bradley frowned, smiled helplessly and shook hands with Li Changheng to say goodbye, "Then we will see you at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, good night, Henry".

   "Good night, Joe".

   Watching Bradley get in the car, Li Changheng took out a five-dollar bill and handed it to the driver, "Be careful on the road."

"thanks, thanks".

   The Italian driver thanked him again and again with great joy. Five dollars is equivalent to nearly 3,500 lire, which is more than his two-day salary. The complaint in my heart about sending a customer late at night disappeared without a trace.

   And these five dollars are also equal to Bradley's salary for a day.

   After the car drove into the street, he looked back at Li Changheng, who was standing at the entrance of the hotel, and said something to the lobby manager who bowed his head and listened.

   Bradley suddenly understood. Don’t look at what Li Changheng said was pretty good, but he didn’t trust himself as a U.S. reporter at all.

   Otherwise, Li Changheng will really move tomorrow. The hotel near the central square of the train station, even if the lobby manager was previously asked to find a handicraft workshop, it would not be mentioned in the situation just now.

   This is a tactful expression of alienation.

   However, anger is indeed a bit angry, but Bradley thinks about it a little bit, and thinks this is normal.

   Really speaking, the two people have known each other for more than two hours.

   Didn’t I also think about finding some valuable news from Li Changheng, or even thinking about it in a whimsical way to use the idea of ​​a ‘word processor’?

   People's hearts are unpredictable. It's a trivial matter if you accidentally suffer a loss. I'm afraid of being swallowed by someone even the bones of the belt.

   While Li Chang and Heng, who stood outside the hotel’s door, asked the hotel lobby manager to help him prepare ten handcraft workshop materials for making metal objects, then he said a few more words in the manager’s ear, which instantly made the manager frown and embarrassed.

   However, seeing a 50-dollar bill in front of him, Mr. Manager quickly nodded his head with a smile.

  According to the unwritten habit, waiting for him to put the information in front of Li Changheng and do another thing, at least there is a tip of no less than 50 dollars.

   100 dollars can’t buy the manager’s personality, but he can definitely buy him for a few hours, calling around to ask about the address of the workshop, the level of craftsmanship, what he is good at, charging standards, and so on.

   There is also just looking for a few Xia Sanyan who strays on the street. They will start staring outside the hotel tomorrow morning. Even if they really want to walk away from others, it won’t cost $30.

   And as a lobby manager, it’s really not difficult to find a few vulgars in Rome, even among his relatives.

   The Grey Hand Party can be so famous, it’s not enough if there are few people.

   And Li Changheng will choose 3 of these ten homes to build typewriters for printing checks.

   Even if he can use the workshop equipment, he will make some parts he can make himself.

   In this way, it is not so easy to know what he is building. Even if professionals come to investigate, it is difficult to guess what function the typewriter he built.

   speechless all night, Li Changheng, who woke up at 8 o'clock the next day, knocked on Annie's door next door in his pajamas. After waiting for a few minutes, when no one responded, he took out the key and opened the door.

   As soon as I entered the door, I saw that not only the lights in the living room were on, but the lights in the bathroom and the bedroom were also on. Even through the unclosed door of the bedroom, you could see Annie hunched over and fell asleep on the bed.

  Looking at this situation, if you don’t sleep until noon, you won’t be able to wake up. Li Changheng went back to his room with peace of mind, washed, dressed, and went downstairs for breakfast.

   Then I went to the tailor shop where I ordered the suit yesterday and bought a grey finished suit before returning to the hotel, waiting for her to wake up in the living room of Annie's suite.

   was also waiting for Joe Bradley, the American reporter, to discover the identity of Annie.

   probably because Annie and Bradley didn't go to Bradley's place, or Bradley hadn't given up on the idea of ​​catching Li Changheng.

   Bradley woke up before 8 o'clock in the morning, UU reading www.uukanshu. com then rushed to the U.S. News Agency to find his boss before 9 o'clock, and wanted to find out about the best handicraft workshop in Rome through him.

   can enter the boss’s office, which is only eight square meters. Before he can speak, a newspaper appears in front of him.

   Then Bradley didn't listen at all. The newspaper boss was talking to himself.

   picked up the newspaper and rushed out of the office under the shocked gaze of the owner of the newspaper.

   "God, this guy is crazy", the newspaper boss looked at the door of the office with an incredible expression on his face, and then shouted furiously, "I want to deduct your salary, at least $50".

   But before he finished his whispering complaints, he saw Bradley walk in quickly, and the scared boss sat down on the chair, "Calm down, Joe, calm down."

   But seeing that Bradley doesn’t care what he said, picking up the newspaper and pointing it to it, Annie asked with a picture of the crown.

   "If I can take pictures of the princess, and even talk to her about people's livelihood, economics, personal preferences, etc., how much do you plan to give me?"

  "One thousand dollars", the newspaper owner's eyes lit up, and his fat body suddenly stood up, "No, no, no, if you can interview the princess about war and relations between European countries,

   And with private photos, I will give you 5000 dollars."

   Bradley's heart jumped wildly, "Deal".

   Just about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked, "If that is a picture of Princess Anne's private meeting with her lover, how much do you plan to give me?"

   "God, this, this".

   The boss of the newspaper office was full of inconceivable heart, and suddenly realized that Bradley must be sure. Otherwise, if he is playing with his boss, wouldn't he be afraid of being fired?

   "6000?"
