"Commander Li, the rooms are all reserved. There are two rooms in Building 2 up front. The rest of the brothers are staying at the Hanwen Hotel on the next street. They can be here in a few minutes. The commanders are all staying here, and the guards are all over there."

Maybe because of the watch, Secretary Wang was very motivated today. He did almost everything he was supposed to do without waiting for Li Shaoyi's instructions.

"Alright, alright, Brother Wang, just stay for tea."

There were only twenty or thirty yuan left, so Liu Xiaoshan asked Secretary Wang to put them away.

Secretary Wang was very satisfied. He had received other people who came to Beijing before, but those people looked down on him as a small secretary.

"Captain Li, Cai Weiwen is on duty right now. He'll be here soon after we get to the room."

On the way to the room, Secretary Wang An gave Li Shaoyi some instructions and asked him to do the job after receiving the money. Li Shaoyi was very satisfied with Secretary Wang.

The Jinling Hotel is worthy of being the official hotel of the National Government. The place where Li Shaoyi lived was considered a third-class area, but the environment of the hotel was not bad either. The room area was about 40 square meters, and it had everything you could need. It was hard to imagine that it was in that era.

"Actually, there are other good hotels in Jinling City, but officials who come to Jinling for business tend to stay here. Maybe people living nearby have their own way."

Secretary Wang said with a smile, and Li Shaoyi nodded beside him. There are many rich people out there, but if you don’t have your own ID and a letter of introduction issued by the municipal government or a department of the army, you can’t move in!

For five thousand years, the people of Long country have emphasized the division of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.

The scholar-official class has always had privileges!

Although Li Shaoyi is only a district commissioner now, he has six counties under his jurisdiction. The most important thing is that the area he is in is relatively sensitive and can easily implicate high-level officials of the Nanjing National Government. Therefore, it is reasonable to arrange him in this area. You must know that the people living around here are basically higher-ranking officials than Li Shaoyi.

In the government, it must be at the level of deputy provincial governor, and in the military, it must be at the level of brigade commander or deputy division commander.

"Oh! Hero, as soon as Lao Wang told me just now, I guessed it was you. I'm hosting tonight, so you must give me a chance."

When Cai Weiwen came in, he clasped his hands together and was actually a man of the underworld. Li Shaoyi also noticed that this guy's complexion was still dark green and he had a high degree of favorability towards him.

"They are just empty titles. Manager Cai is too polite."

Although the person in front of me is a hotel manager, I can't say that I know all the people living in this hotel, but I know most of them without any problems.

"I heard from Lao Wang that you need to find a connection with someone in the Ministry of Military Affairs. That's easy enough. Tonight, we're having dinner in room 12. The person in charge of northern affairs at the Ministry of Military Affairs is Deputy Minister Wu Hongda. Deputy Minister Wu's secretary is dining in room 12. When the time is right, you can pay for his bill and I'll take you there. The rest is up to you."

Although Manager Cai seems to be very good at dealing with people, he admires anti-Japanese heroes like Li Shaoyi from the bottom of his heart, so he would be very happy if he could help Li Shaoyi in some way.

"I really want to thank you, Manager Cai. This is not a token of respect at all."

Li Shaoyi was about to ask someone to bring up the gift, but Manager Cai's expression changed immediately.

"Commissioner Li, I'm really not that kind of person. I've collected a lot of money from everyone in this restaurant, but I wouldn't accept this money from you even if I were beaten to death. I hate the Japanese, but with my appearance, I'd be a piece of shit on the battlefield and wouldn't be able to do much. But I've heard all about what you've been up north. It's a blessing from my ancestors that you can use me now. If I accept this money, won't they beat me if I go there one day in the future?"

Manager Cai's head was like a rattle. He had absolutely no intention of accepting the money, but he was afraid that Li Shaoyi would refuse, so he said that he had something else to do and ran away. In the evening, he asked someone to come and invite Li Shaoyi.

When Secretary Wang saw this situation, he felt his face burning.

I am a secretary of the Executive Yuan of the National Government, but my awareness is not even as good as that of a hotel manager.

"Brother Wang, you've seen a lot in Jinling. What does Deputy Minister Wu's secretary like? You need to tell us the truth."

Li Shaoyi was afraid that Secretary Wang would be embarrassed, so he quickly asked Liu Xiaoshan to change the subject. We are here to ask someone to do something for us. Just because Manager Cai doesn't charge money doesn't mean that others won't charge money either. In fact, Li Shaoyi doesn't agree with this trend in Jinling in his heart, but he can't change it for the time being, so he can only go with the flow.

"Deputy Minister Wu's secretary is actually his nephew, Wu Zhenkui. He graduated from the Central Military Academy and is quite capable. He once fought in western Sichuan and made great contributions. It's easy to get an official position at the court because of connections. Within a few years, he was promoted to the position of Second Class Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs. As for his hobbies, I don't know, but Deputy Minister Wu loves antiques, calligraphy and paintings the most."

Wang An dug out everything in his head.

To be honest, he was also a low-level secretary in the Executive Yuan, and he heard these things from other places.

After hearing this, Li Shaoyi felt relieved. He was not afraid that you might not like something. If you like antique calligraphy and paintings, we have plenty of them.

That evening, the Jinling Hotel began to bustle with activity. The two buildings in the front were all dining areas. Before half past six, someone had already come to arrange the private rooms, and the waiters were busy shuttling around.

"See? This is the real core of Jinling. If a bomb is dropped here, most of the country will probably be paralyzed."

Standing at my window, I could just see the two buildings in front where people were eating. Inside were all kinds of officials and officers, and their military ranks were not low.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If you can think of something, do you think the Jinling security department can't think of it?"

Li Shaoyi cursed Ma Leizi and said that if someone infiltrated this place, it would be a big deal.

"Is Commissioner Li here? Our Manager Cai asked me to tell you that at 7:40, please go to the lobby of Building No. 1 in front..."

Manager Cai is indeed a man who gets things done. Before the time came, he had already sent someone to inform Li Shaoyi so that he could be prepared. This is much better than a manager who was bribed with money. Don't be fooled by his greasy face, he actually has a heart that fights against the Japanese. The color that comes out of the system's perception skill is not fake.
