024 The heart of defending people is indispensable

After returning to my room and having a glass of wine with Bradley, I asked some reporters about the typewriter on the market, what was wrong with it, or where I hoped to improve it, it was already late at night.

Bradley drank the little red wine left in the cup in one sip, then stood up and said goodbye.

Li Changheng didn't take the initiative to keep him. After all, the two had only known each other for two hours, and the Americans were not so hospitable. Too enthusiastic would make Bradley feel that he had other intentions.

However, it is still okay to ask the hotel to send a car to deliver it.

After all, friends who are professions like journalists sometimes use them well, they may have unexpected results.

Standing outside the hotel door and before sending Bradley into the car personally, Bradley suddenly turned around and said, "Henry, can I ask, what type 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 colleagues and friends.”

"Thank you, Joe, though,"

After saying that, he looked at the lobby manager who helped Bradley open the car door.

The manager asked Li Changheng, a rich captain who gave a tip of one dollar or five dollars, not to say that he would agree with all his requests, but he definitely wanted to make more extra money.

After a moment of silence, he soon realized that even though Li Changheng had not asked him to find a workshop before, but now he cooperated, wouldn't it mean that the extra money was coming?

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

"Okay," Bradley frowned, smiled helplessly and shook hands with Li Changheng and said goodbye, "Then we will see you tomorrow at 10 am, good night, Henry."

"Good night, Joe".

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

"Thank you, thank you."

The Italian driver thanked him in great joy. The five dollars are equivalent to nearly 3,500 lira, which is more than his two-day salary. The little complaint of sending guests to the guests late at night disappeared without a trace.

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

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

Bradley suddenly understood that although Li Changheng said it very well, he didn't trust him as an American reporter at all.

Otherwise, Li Changheng would really move to the hotel attached to the Central Plaza of the Railway Station tomorrow. Even if he had asked the lobby manager to find a work workshop before, he would not have mentioned it in the situation just now.

This is a tactful expression of alienation.

However, being angry is indeed a little angry, but Bradley thought about it for a moment and felt that this was normal.

To be honest, the two have only known each other for more than two hours, so I can't really be sincere.

Didn’t I also think about finding some valuable news from Li Changheng, and even thought about the idea of ​​“word processing machine”?

People's hearts are unpredictable, and it is a trivial matter to suffer a little accident, and I am afraid that someone will swallow it with a leash and bone.

Li Chang, standing outside the hotel gate, asked the hotel lobby manager to prepare information for ten handicraft workshops engaged in the production of 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 note in front of him, the manager quickly nodded with a smile.

According to the unwritten habit, he would wait for him to put the information in front of Li Changheng and do another thing well, and would have a tip of at least $50.

100 US dollars can’t buy the manager’s personality, but he can definitely buy him for a few hours. He calls and asks about the address of the workshop, his skill level, what he is good at, charging standards and other information.

I also just found a few despicable people who were lying on the street and started staring outside the hotel early tomorrow morning. Even if I really wanted to go through something from others, I wouldn't be able to spend $30.

Moreover, as the lobby manager, it is really not difficult to find a few sluts from Rome, and there are even such people among his relatives.

The Grey Hands can be so famous, but it is not enough to have few people.

Li Changheng will choose three of these ten companies to build a typewriter specially used to print checks.

Even if he could use the equipment of the workshop, he would make some parts he could make himself.

In this way, it is not that easy to know what he is building. Even if a professional comes to investigate, it is difficult to guess what the typewriter he built has.

There was nothing to say all night. Li Changheng, who woke up at 8 o'clock the next day, knocked on Annie's door in her pajamas. After waiting for a few minutes, he saw no one responded, so he took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw not only the lights in the living room were on, but also the lights in the bathroom and bedroom were on. Even through the unclosed door of the bedroom, I could see Anne lying on her side, lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't wake up until noon. Li Changheng returned to his room with confidence, washed up, put on his clothes, went downstairs to have breakfast.

Then I went to the tailor shop where I ordered my suit yesterday, bought a gray finished suit, and then returned to the hotel, waiting for her to wake up in Anne's living room.

At the same time, he was also waiting for Joe Bradley, the American journalist, to discover Anne's identity.

Perhaps it was because Anne and I didn’t go to Bradley’s residence, or Bradley hadn’t given up on the idea of ​​getting to know Li Changheng.

Before 8 o'clock in the morning, Bradley woke up and then arrived at the American news agency before 9 o'clock to find his boss, wanting to find out the best handicraft workshop in Rome through him.

But when he entered the boss's office, which was only eight square meters, he didn't wait for him to speak, a newspaper appeared in front of him.

Then Bradley didn't listen at all, and the newspaper owner was talking to him.

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

"God, this guy is crazy." The newspaper owner looked at the office door with an incredible expression, and then shouted angrily, "I want to deduct your salary, at least $50."

But before he could finish his nagging complaining, Bradley walked in quickly, and scared the boss to sit on the chair, "Calm down, Joe, calm down."

But Bradley didn't care what he said, picked up the newspaper and pointed it at it, Anne asked with a photo of the crown,

"If I could take pictures of the princess, and even talk to her about topics such as people's livelihood, economy, and personal preferences, 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, if you can interview the princess' views on the war and relations between European countries,

And with private photos, I'll give you $5,000."

Bradley's heart jumped wildly in an instant and "deal".

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked, "If that's the photo of Princess Anne meeting her lover in private, how much do you plan to give me?"

"God, this, this".

While the newspaper owner was incredible, he suddenly realized that Bradley must be sure, otherwise he would not be afraid of being fired if he played with him as the boss?
