Chapter 597: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (136)
When the boss returned to the front desk again, a young man came out from the side.
Originally, when Su Xiangran spoke to his boss in a rude tone, he was planning to teach him a lesson, but he didn't have time to say anything.
I was shocked by the boss's attitude which was rude at first but respectful later.
Unsure of what was going on, he did not speak. Now that the boss came back, he dared to ask, "Boss, who was that person just now? Why did I look..."
"A little afraid of him!" Before he could finish these words, his boss glared at him.
"Watch your mouth. Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." The boss said in a serious tone, "Anyway, just be respectful to others. Why do you have so many questions? I've taught you before. The more you know, the faster you die."
As soon as the word "death" was mentioned, the young man shut up immediately.
In fact, this place looks like a shabby hotel, but its real purpose is to collect and sell intelligence.
What’s more, the real boss here is the same person as the owner of the Western restaurant in Hai City, and he has set up such outlets in many cities.
He obtains intelligence through various means and sells it to those in need, making huge profits from it. Of course, he also provides special services to those who can afford the price.
In this world full of intrigue, knowing too many secrets often means more danger.
Once discovered by hostile forces, not only will their own lives be in danger, but the entire intelligence network may also be seriously threatened.
Therefore, the boss always warned the boy to be careful with his words and actions and not to easily inquire about things that have nothing to do with him.
After all, protecting yourself and your organization is the most important thing.
Although the young man was curious about the mysterious person who made the boss so respectful, he also understood the interests involved and stopped asking questions.
The reason why Su Xiangran had that card was because she had a status similar to that of a guest official in the organization.
It was not for any other reason, but because she performed a high-risk operation on the boss, and then the boss gave her this card.
Occasionally, Su Xiangran would be asked to help treat some important people.
Before this trip, she had already contacted the other party in advance and made some simple arrangements.
The young man nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
Seeing this, the boss patted his shoulder with satisfaction.
"Okay, go and do your thing." The boss said, and turned into the inner room.
The next morning, the waiter was tidying up things on the table when he heard footsteps at the door. He looked up and saw a tall man walking in.
The man was wearing a dark grey gown, but his face was stern and his eyes were sharp.
He walked straight to the counter and looked at the waiter for a while without saying a word.
The young man was so frightened by his gaze that he quickly lowered his head.
"I'm looking for your boss." The man's voice was low and magnetic.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Our boss is inside, I'll go call him."
As he said this, he quickly walked into the inner room and informed his boss of the situation.
The boss was frightened by the boy's panic-stricken look and thought something big had happened, so he hurried out to take a look.
"You're here!" The boss's attitude was even more respectful than when he saw Su Xiangran yesterday, "Please come in, please come in."
The man did not move forward, but simply asked, "Is anyone here?"
"Coming, coming!" The boss actually knew that the other party disliked his shabby place, so he simply said nothing more and just answered what the other party wanted to hear, "It's in the room over there."
"Yes!" The man nodded, "If she doesn't look for you, don't disturb her."
After saying this, the man walked out, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked a long way along the outer wall that separated the hotel from other buildings.
Finally, he stopped in front of an exquisite house, took out the key from a hidden place next to the door of the house, opened the door and went in.
When he walked into the courtyard of the house, he saw Su Xiangran eating and basking in the sun there.
Looking at the other person's leisurely appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Su Xiangran happened to see this scene. She frowned slightly and said with disdain: "This is a sign of facial paralysis. If you are sick, you should get treatment as soon as possible."
"You were looking forward to ordering me, okay?" The man changed his previous indifference and rolled his eyes without caring about his image. "The rest of the matter has been taken care of."
It turned out that not long after Su Xiangran got off the car, the group went to the private room to inquire as per routine, but when they didn't get a response, they opened the door to check the situation.
It's just that she deliberately closed the window before leaving, and with Cao Shixun's "cooperation", it was a "big" opening.
It was basically impossible to stay in that private room, so they just took a look and saw that there were two people "sleeping" in the two lower bunks, then quickly closed the door and returned to their own private room.
It was not until the evening, when the train had gone several stations, that they felt that they were somewhat sorry for their young commander.
One of them wanted to please Cao Shixun, so when he knocked on the door and received no response, he opened the door of the private room again.
