Anti-Japanese War: When I get promoted, the system will explode with soldiers

"If he were my subordinate, this kind of proof would be useless and we'd still have to launch an internal investigation, but he's my boss..."

Gu Xiaomeng said somewhat helplessly that no matter what era, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death.

Li Shaoyi nodded to show that he understood. There were also many such messed up things inside the police station. The two chatted and the car soon arrived at Manhanlou, another extremely popular restaurant in Beiping City.

"Oh, Master Li, what brings you here? Please come upstairs..."

When the shopkeeper saw Li Shaoyi appear at the door, he immediately dropped the abacus in his hand and ran over. In Peking, almost everyone knew our Mr. Li.

Even if you don't know them, you must recognize those people in black military uniforms on both sides, right? They're from the railway station police station.

"Boss, didn't you just say there were no private rooms? How come there are some now?"

Before Li Shaoyi could say anything, several guests who were waiting for a seat nearby became dissatisfied.

"I'm so sorry, everyone. This private room was reserved by Mr. Li at noon..."

The shopkeeper's explanation left Gu Xiaomeng with a puzzlement. Hadn't they decided to eat here on a whim? Had Li Shaoyi already made a reservation?

"Don't look at me, I didn't make a reservation. Restaurants like this always have one or two private rooms vacant, reserved for very important guests."

Li Shaoyi said this as he went upstairs, and at the same time, he bowed to the shopkeeper who was entertaining people downstairs, thanking him for opening this private room.

The shopkeeper was obviously a patriot. If it were someone else, they might have worried about Li Shaoyi being attacked by Japanese spies and refused to let him in. But now that Li Shaoyi came to his restaurant to eat, he felt it was a great honor.

"Hey, Secretary Song, is the Director having dinner?"

After placing Gu Xiaomeng in the private room, Li Shaoyi began to stroll around. When he saw the director's secretary, Li Shaoyi greeted him from afar.

"Captain Li, the Director is having dinner with the head of the intelligence department of the Renaissance Society. Don't go in and toast them just yet. Which private room are you in? I'll call you when we're done."

Secretary Song thought Li Shaoyi came to toast.

"Thank you, Secretary Song."

As Li Shaoyi spoke, he took out an American officer's watch.

"What's the point? We are all family, you are too polite."

When delivering the gift, Li Shaoyi made a special observation and found that Secretary Song's attitude towards him was originally dark yellow, but it soon turned into light green.

Li Shaoyi didn't say anything else. He patted Secretary Song on the shoulder and then returned to his private room. The food had already arrived. The shopkeeper introduced the food to Gu Xiaomeng. The color was brown-green. He was indeed an anti-Japanese person.

"There's no need for a whole table for the two of us to eat together."

Li Shaoyi looked at the table and saw that twelve dishes had already been served.

Four large bowls, four cold and four hot.

"Master Li, you don't come to my place for dinner easily, but since you've come here, I think you should show your filial piety. This meal is mine, so I'll take care of the dishes. Would you like to try our special dishes?"

The shopkeeper said this with a smile on his face.

"Okay, if you have any questions in the future, just come to me directly. This is my post. Also, I want to ask, who else is in Director Chen's box?"

He could also find out from the waiters outside, but Li Shaoyi asked the shopkeeper directly, which meant he treated the shopkeeper as his own.

"Section Chief Chen of the Intelligence Investigation Department, and Mr. Liu of the Yadong Trading Company."

The shopkeeper said something softly, then nodded to Gu Xiaomeng and slowly walked out.

"What kind of person is Mr. Liu from Yadong Trading Company?"

After closing the door, Li Shaoyi told Gu Xiaomeng the name of this person. After all, Li Shaoyi didn't know much about the situation in Peking.

"He's an opium seller, and he's considered your Director Chen's white glove, making some dirty money."

Gu Xiaomeng said with some disgust.

"Captain Li, the director has finished his business."

Li Shaoyi was just about to eat something when Secretary Song arrived at the door. Li Shaoyi asked Gu Xiaomeng to eat first and followed Secretary Song to the director's table. After all, he was his superior, so he had to toast him.

"Commander, this is my first time toasting you. This table tonight is mine no matter what."

Li Shaoyi pushed open the door and walked in with a pot of wine in his hand. The people inside were waiting for Li Shaoyi. It seemed that Secretary Song had mentioned it earlier.

Director Chen is light green. Because he and Li Shaoyi are in business together and their monthly profits are over several thousand dollars, he has a good impression of Li Shaoyi.

Mr. Liu, the boss of Yadong Trading Company, had a yellow attitude towards Li Shaoyi and was obviously a stranger.

This Section Chief Chen was different. His color was directly deep red, even reaching the black-red stage. Li Shaoyi did not remember any deep hatred between him and Section Chief Chen. If it had reached this stage, according to the level of those Japanese in Li Shaoyi's prison, that would be this color. But Li Shaoyi did not remember doing anything excessive to Section Chief Chen.

"You're still talking about this kid. You're always running around here and there, and you don't even have time to drink. Let me introduce you to..."

Director Chen still gave Li Shaoyi face. While drinking with Li Shaoyi, he introduced people from both sides to Li Shaoyi. It turned out that Director Chen and Chen Ming were relatives. Of course, their relationship was very distant, but since they were both officials in Peiping, it was normal for them to contact each other.

As for Boss Liu, he was just there to serve the situation.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Li Shaoyi didn't say anything more. After all, there were many people waiting to toast Director Chen, and we couldn't waste too much time.

"Captain Li, please stay..."

Li Shaoyi walked out of the box and was about to leave when Boss Liu came out again with an excuse.

"Is something wrong?"

Boss Liu pointed to the small aisle next to him.

"Captain Li has that blood pressure control drug. It's a rare commodity for the upper class. In Jinling, one pill costs two yuan. If Captain Li can spare some for me, I'll buy it for one yuan and fifty cents a pill."

In the 21st century, blood pressure control drugs were not expensive, but in today's era, they cost two dollars a piece. For ordinary people, they have no idea what high blood pressure is, but people in the upper class know it very well.

"I have plenty of medicine, but I want to know something."

As Li Shaoyi spoke, his eyes looked towards Director Chen's box.

Li Shaoyi was the only one who asked Director Chen's white gloves for information.
