After saying goodbye to Natasha, Smith was no longer in the mood for breakfast and immediately went back to the room happily.
Little did he know that Li Qiang had heard every word of the conversation between the two.
After the people left, Li Qiang handed the lighter in his hand to Wu Shibao, "Immediately develop the photos, develop a few more, and give them to Yang Dazhan, and ask him to send more people to monitor this guy closely."
Every move you made after leaving the hotel, what you did, who you met, and what you said must be clearly described to me. Write it down clearly, without leaving anything out!"
"I know, I'll do it right away!" Wu Shibao didn't ask any more questions, just silently took the lighter, got up and left the restaurant.
As soon as Wu Shibao left, Haitang and Gu Xiaomeng belatedly walked in.
"What are you two..." Looking at the thick dark circles on their faces, Li Qiang couldn't help but ask.
Before he finished speaking, Haitang gave him a big eye roll and said angrily: "Isn't this just to buy you some time? It made me and Xiaomeng stay up all night, but it's good for you, you slept so sweetly
! Ask yourself, how are you going to compensate us?"
"Are you asking for credit?"
"Why, it can't work?"
"Okay! Of course, then you can tell me, what reward do you want?"
Haitang smiled and then stretched out four fingers towards Li Qiang.
Upon seeing this, Li Qiang quickly shook his head and held out two fingers.
Not to be outdone, Haitang simply puffed up her cheeks and gestured with four fingers resolutely.
Li Qiang had no choice but to extend one more finger and said helplessly: "Is this okay?"
"make a deal!"
Gu Xiaomeng, who was on the side, watched the two of them gesticulating like fists for a long time, and then inexplicably reached an agreement. Immediately, some Zhang Er monks were confused and quickly asked in a low voice: "Sister Haitang, what were you doing just now?
?”
I don't want Haitang to be so secretive, "I can't tell you now. You'll know when the time comes. It's better to order something to eat quickly. I'm almost starving."
After breakfast, I saw Yamamoto Kazuki personally bringing Xu Yan, who had changed into waiter's clothes, to the hotel lobby. Not only did he announce in front of everyone that the culprit of the theft had been caught, but he also announced immediately
After the blockade on the hotel was lifted, it immediately won unanimous praise from the uninformed guests, and many even cheered.
Naturally, Li Qiang did not join those people. Instead, he went directly upstairs and called Wang Dading to go with him. They carried the radio that had completed its mission to Lu Ye's room on the fifth floor.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Ye sitting listlessly on the sofa in the room in a daze.
"Director Lu, Director Lu?" Li Qiang called out several times before pulling back Lu Ye's thoughts that had wandered for who knows how far.
"It's you! Is something wrong?"
"Director Lu, I have good news for you. Mr. Wang has repaired the radio!"
Lu Ye didn't want to but just nodded and said casually, "Oh, leave it there!"
"Director Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Ye smiled bitterly, "Look at what you're asking, it's Lao Zhao, Lao Liu and Xiao Li who are in trouble, not me, what can happen to me? I'm afraid this scene won't be filmed, please follow me, brother.
Mr. Ishikawa, please tell me, don’t worry about sponsorship or anything, I will personally come to apologize to you another day.”
"This... Director Lu, I know this incident has caused a big blow to you, but you must cheer up! Everyone on the crew is counting on you!"
However, all he received in response was silence.
"You said...that guy can't think about it, right?" On the way back, Wang Dading couldn't help but whisper to Li Qiang.
"That's not a problem, but it's definitely a headache. After all, if this movie can't be filmed, all the previous expenses will be wasted."
"It seems that the risk of making a movie is not much lower than that of being a bandit, huh?"
Unexpectedly, Li Qiang couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Come on! Do you really think that those who make movies are like you, and you have to bet all your wealth on every business you make? Let me tell you this, it's not that far away
He said that the money he made from his last movie alone was enough to keep hundreds of you people in Heixiaziling for two or three years! You, don’t just sit back and worry about it!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Dading was stunned, "No, is it so profitable to make a movie? It's more profitable than being a bandit? But why do I always hear people say that it's all a loss-making business?"
"There are so many ways to do this! Not everyone can fit into that circle! You'd better make good use of your promising career as a bandit!"
After bidding farewell to Wang Dading, he heard someone calling him from behind. When he looked back, he saw Chen Ming leaning half of his body out and waving to him, so he walked over curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"
However, before he finished speaking, Li Qiang was dragged into the room by him.
"Say boss, why are you so sneaky every time?"
"You know what? You have to be careful about spying on the little devils here. Your sister asked me to ask you, how is the matter with the radio station? Is it settled?"
"Say boss, don't you trust me to do things? Of course I've done it. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have sent it to you right now."
"No, no, no, let's let you go first! What if the little devil suddenly comes up with a sudden inspection? Wouldn't that be exposed?"
"According to what you said, if you put them together in my hands, they won't be exposed?"
"That's not the case! Don't others know, brother, don't I know too? You're pretty good at dealing with the Japanese. How can you deal with a surprise inspection?"
"Okay, okay, anyway, it's not the first time this has happened, so let's just leave it like that!" At this point, Li Qiang paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "By the way, Sister Xiuning's side, the store
Have you chosen?"
"You've chosen it. The first one you entered in the North Market was chosen exactly according to your requirements. It was originally a restaurant. The business was pretty good before, but after the Japanese came in, the business got worse day by day."
"Okay, without further ado, hurry up and tidy up. You'll take me over to have a look soon. I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs."
"Go now? No, brother, hasn't this place been sealed off by the little devils? How should we get out?"
"No, boss, don't you know that the blockade has been lifted?"
"Real or fake? When was it lifted?"
"Early this morning, the deputy captain of the guard announced it in public!"
"Oh, brother, to tell you the truth, except for the day when you forced me to go to the restaurant, I haven't dared to take a step out of my room! I've suffered a lot!" Chen Ming said.
He complained to Li Qiang with tears in his eyes.
Li Qiang asked in confusion: "Why?"
"Didn't your sister give me a death order on the phone and tell me not to go out until I can?"
"No, boss, what have you been eating these days?"
"Fortunately, your sister brought a lot of dry food when she came, otherwise she would have starved to death!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Fortunately, the blockade has been lifted. I will meet Sister Xiu Ning later and I will treat you to a big meal."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ming's eyes immediately lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes!"
Half an hour later, Li Qiang, Haitang and Gu Xiaomeng took separate rickshaws with Chen Ming to the entrance of the North Market.
As soon as he entered, Li Qiang immediately saw the three-story wooden structure that Chen Ming mentioned on the right side of the main road of the market. There was also a gold-lacquered signboard with the four characters "Xinglong Restaurant" hanging at the door. It was an antique building.
Although the plaque says "Xinglong", in fact it is a deserted place with a bleak business. Although there are many people coming and going, not even a single person stops.
"Master, thank God you've finally come out."
While Li Qiang was still standing at the door and watching, Yu Xiuning walked out and said with surprise and joy.
At this time, Chen Ming had already straightened his back, and said completely different from when he was in the hotel before: "I'm not telling you, wife, you just love to worry, aren't you just a little devil?"
A blockade order! Look, I scared you. How many times have I told you that the most important thing in our business is to be calm and not change your face even if the mountain collapses, right, brother?"
"Ah? Ah! Yes! Yes! Sister Xiu Ning, you haven't seen that even under the tight blockade of the little devils these days, the boss is still eating and drinking, and he looks calm, not at all
Take them seriously."
Chen Ming immediately became energetic and said, "Listen!"
However, Yu Xiuning frowned and said with a puzzled face: "But... why is the dry food I put in my bag missing?"
"Ah, it's like this. When I came here, I met a group of beggars. They didn't even have any decent clothes on them. I couldn't bear to see them all looking skinny and bones, so I gave them the dry food."
Hearing this, Yu Xiuning couldn't help but darken her face, and cursed in a low voice: "Oh, this damn world!"
Chen Ming on the side quickly echoed: "That's right! It's all the fault of those damn little devils. Don't worry, wife, we will settle the accounts with them sooner or later!"
"Ahem!" Seeing that Chen Ming was getting more and more excited as he spoke, Li Qiang hurriedly coughed twice, "Boss, it's almost done, be careful that walls have ears."
"Well, Brother Aqiang is right. Let's go to the backyard and talk." After saying that, Yu Xiuning led everyone into the backyard and gave them a brief tour.
"How's it going? Brother, isn't the place your sister chose good?" After a brief look around, Chen Ming said to Li Qiang with a proud look on his face.
"Well, it's pretty good. Sister Xiu Ning has a unique vision!"
As he said this, Li Qiang winked at Gu Xiaomeng, who immediately understood and took out a small cloth bag from his bag and placed it on the Eight Immortals table in front of everyone.
Chen Ming curiously opened the small cloth bag and found that there was a pile of parts inside, so he couldn't help but said: "Brother, this is..."
"Radio station!"
"Brother, you are really kidding me! What kind of radio station is this?"
"Boss, we have known each other for a day or two. Do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing?"
"That's not true, but..."
However, before Chen Ming could finish speaking, Li Qiang turned to Xiu Ning and asked, "Sister Xiu Ning, do you have a radio here?"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ming became even more confused, "No, brother, why do you want a radio?"
On the contrary, Yu Xiuning seemed to see something, so she nodded cooperatively and said, "Yes, it's on the bedside table in the back room. Master, go and bring it over."
"No, wife, why don't you..."
"Oh, just go if I tell you to. What do you think of such a mother-in-law?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, okay?" Chen Ming had no choice but to agree, and went back to the back room to bring the radio over.
However, what almost shocked him was that just as he was going back and forth, the pile of parts originally spread out on the table had been assembled so fast, as if he was performing a magic trick.
"Boss Chen, Sister Xiu Ning, this is a simple reporting device." Gu Xiaomeng said, holding the delicate and compact device that had just been assembled with one hand.
While talking, Li Qiang had already taken apart the casing of the radio, showing the internal structure at a glance, while Gu Xiaomeng picked up the inconspicuous-looking coil left on the table, "It needs to be sent.
When the time comes, just put the coil here and connect the transmitting device."
Hearing this, Yu Xiuning showed her excellent qualities as a Qingpu class student. Although she didn't know the specific transmission principle, she still asked a very critical question to the point, "What is the transmission power of the radio station after modification?"
How many?"
"Don't worry, Sister Xiu Ning, the transmitting power of this simple radio has been controlled at about 7 watts, so it will basically not have any impact on the surrounding electricity when it is working. It's just..."
"But what?"
"As the old saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to keep the radio operating at low power, you have to do a lot of work on the antenna. In principle, there are only two, height and concealment."
Hearing this, Yu Xiuning nodded in understanding, "Well, I understand. I didn't expect you to spend so much thought on a small radio station. Now I finally understand why you went to the top of the mountain."
So I am eager to take advantage of your visit to Fengtian to set up an intelligence station in Fengtian like a duck."
After hearing this, Li Qiang was about to say something polite when Haitang beside him asked intentionally or unintentionally, "By the way, Sister Xiuning, now that you have chosen the store, when do you plan to reopen it?"
"It's early!" It was a good thing not to mention this matter. Yu Xiuning couldn't help but sigh when she mentioned it, "Not to mention that the cook and the waiter haven't seen the shadow yet, and even the government's approval has not yet been obtained.
