Original God, starting from the sister against the brother
Chapter 409: The Resistance of the Powerful (1)
"Lord Myles, do you think I still have a chance to avoid having my attendance deducted?"
"Haha, what do you think?"
The clerk in leather jacket sighed helplessly. Well, he was caught absent from work by his boss.
The meal cost is already not cheap, and the attendance fee will be deducted, so this meal is really not cheap.
Fortunately, there were some gains. By passing on the information that "the employees of Jiaziwei Restaurant were suspected to be undergoing collective training" to the higher-ups, I was able to earn some rewards.
......
【Fontainebleau·Bai Song Town】
Unlike the previous two stores, the spies of the Fontainebleau dignitaries had an unusually smooth process of collecting intelligence at the Jiaziwei Restaurant, Baisong Town Branch.
This is because the geographical environment of the Baisong Town Branch is more closed than the other two branches, and most of the customers are simple townspeople.
After working here for a long time, it's easy to let down your guard.
Therefore, when Louise passed on the information that all employees of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] would have to participate in store closing training starting the day after tomorrow, Dai Baola, the manager of [Baishong Town Branch], did not think much about it. After the person who delivered the message left, she directly posted a store closing notice in a conspicuous place outside the store.
Since [Baishong Town] is far from [Fontaine], Dai Baola took the initiative to advance the closing time to tomorrow noon, so as to lead the staff to arrive at the designated location on time, and also remind the regular customers of [Baishong Town] not to miss out.
Not long after DePaula posted the notice, an old lady, leaning on a cane, shakily moved to the front of the store.
An employee in the store was wiping the table. Seeing this, he immediately stopped what he was doing, walked to the door of the restaurant and opened the security door for the old man.
This grandmother is a regular customer of the store. Although her legs and feet are not very agile due to her age, her teeth are surprisingly good. She can eat two hamburgers in one meal, which is no worse than the average young person.
The clerk was planning to help the mother-in-law into the store, but unexpectedly the mother-in-law stopped at the door, pointed with her crutches at the [Store Closure Notice] posted outside the store, and asked about the matter.
"Kid, your business is doing well, why are you closing it all of a sudden?"
"Uh, this."
The clerk scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"It seems...it seems that the head office is going to conduct a training for all employees. I don't know the specific content. Mother-in-law, you can ask our store manager later."
"Oh? Really."
There was a gleam of light in the eyes of the old lady with crutches, but she still maintained a kind expression. With the help of the clerk beside her, she walked into the store and ordered two hamburgers.
Not long after, the store manager, Paula Dai, prepared two delicious hamburgers in the kitchen and brought them to the old lady's table.
Since the environment of [Baishong Town] is relatively closed, the customer flow is not as much as the other two branches, and the main customers are residents of the town. Over time, they have become familiar with each other.
Therefore, in terms of service alone, the Baisong Town Branch is slightly better than the others, especially for older customers.
After taking the hamburger brought by the store manager Dai Paula, the old lady with crutches did not rush to eat, but stopped Dai Paula and asked.
"Girl, I saw the notice posted outside. Will we be closed from noon tomorrow?"
"Yes, mother-in-law."
Dai Baola was a little surprised when she was called, but she immediately turned around and stood beside the mother-in-law and answered gently.
"That's really the case..." The old lady with crutches showed a regretful expression and then asked, "Girls, when will you come back? I will also be counting the days to wait for you to come back."
"I can't stand not eating your burgers for too long."
The old lady with crutches asked with a smile, her face was kind, like a spring breeze, and would not arouse the slightest hostility.
"Don't worry, mother-in-law. We will be back soon."
"Oh, is that so... Then I am relieved."
The old lady with crutches nodded vigorously. "I haven't been so worried about anything since my old man passed away. Your hamburger is the first one."
As the old lady spoke, she patted her chest vigorously. This exaggerated performance made several store clerks around her laugh knowingly.
"Hey! Girl, are you going to Fontaine for training?"
"My son works in the Momang Palace. This rascal never comes home to see his mother all year round. I have a letter from home. I wonder if it's convenient for you. Could you please pass it on for me?"
"Okay, that's right---"
Dai Baola, the manager of the Baisong Town Branch, subconsciously wanted to agree.
However, Dai Baola was able to bring her child alone and survive in the harsh conditions of the Gray River District. Even though she had lived in a stable environment for a long time, the needle of caution in her heart still jumped at the critical moment, causing Dai Baola to change her words immediately.
"I'm sorry, mother-in-law."
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Our gathering place for this training is near Lujingquan. We will take a merchant ship directly to Yiliye District and will not pass through Fontaine District."
"Is that so?" The old lady with crutches sighed in disappointment, and then said, "It's okay, girl. I can find someone else to take it over. It's not a big deal."
After the conversation, Dai Baola bowed slightly and returned to the kitchen to work. The old lady on crutches began to enjoy her burger.
However, when the restaurant waiters went to serve other customers and there was no one around her, the old lady with crutches took off the disguise of kind-looking face and replaced it with a sinister and cruel look.
"Haha, this little girl is quite cautious. After she realized that I might be trying to trick her, she quickly changed her words."
"But it's too late."
"All employees of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] will start collective training in [Fontaine District] starting tomorrow morning."
"This piece of information will surely satisfy those masters. If they are satisfied, then my son's career in [Fontaine] will surely be much smoother, unlike his pedantic father who has accomplished nothing in his life."
"These employees in the store are all good girls. But for my son's future, you have no choice but to make some sacrifices."
After enjoying her burger, the old lady with crutches left the store with the help of the restaurant staff. She chatted and laughed with the staff along the way, as if she was really a kind old lady.
However, what the old lady with crutches didn't know was that at this moment, there was a pair of eyes in the back kitchen of the restaurant who were silently staring at her.
"Maybe I'm too sensitive... My guess that my mother-in-law has problems is just my illusion..."
Dai Baola murmured uncertainly, "No, my sisters and I still have children, so we can't take risks easily."
Thinking of her child, Dai Baola's eyes suddenly became sharp. Looking at the merchant ship ticket she had just purchased in her pocket, Dai Baola made up her mind, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.
"Eh? Sister Dai Baola, why are you going out through the small door?"
A chef in the kitchen asked in confusion after seeing the store manager, Sister Dai Baola, push open the small door in the kitchen.
"I'm going to go out for a while, I should be back soon."
"If I don't come back tonight, you must close the store immediately and notify Mr. Chao Ke."
"good----"
The employee was frightened by the serious tone of Manager Dai Baola and quickly nodded in agreement.
Dai Baola turned up her collar and walked in one direction without looking back.
That is, the [Rose Thorn Society Headquarters].
For tomorrow's trip, Dai Baola will not take a merchant ship, but will ask for help from the [Rose Thorn Society], asking them to send people and ships to escort the staff of [Jia Ziwei Restaurant] to the gathering place in [Fontaine District].
..........
Around four o'clock in the morning of the next day, in a luxurious mansion in the Fontaine District.
Several leaders of the powerful and influential forces in Fontaine were woken up in their sleep by the waiters beside their beds.
Some of the dignitaries who were awakened said nothing, washed their faces, and then let the waiters lead the way.
However, some powerful people are not as rational as this, and there are quite a few big guys who get grumpy when they wake up.
Some of them, after being woken up from their sweet dreams by the waiters, picked up the bedside lamp, swung it around and smashed it on the waiter's head, causing the waiter to bleed. Only after venting their anger did they get up and change their clothes.
Some of them would pinch the maid's thigh hard, and only leave with satisfaction after the person beside him woke up from the pain. If he himself couldn't sleep well, others couldn't sleep well either.
......
Soon, around 4:30, all the dignitaries returned to the private meeting room in the luxurious mansion and looked at Tanfu O'Brien, who had been sitting in the meeting room and smoking cigars all night without sleeping.
Tanfu O'Brien first looked at the dignitaries who had already arrived, and then glanced at the waiters who brought them over. Many of the waiters had bruises on their bodies, and some were even covered in blood.
However, Qin Fu showed no concern for the injuries suffered by these servants. He waved his hand impatiently, as if clearing away garbage in front of him, and asked them all to retreat.
The waiters did not show any dissatisfaction. They bowed respectfully and left one by one. The last one to leave was sensible enough to close the door of the meeting room.
After the beggars left, the people present were all the dignitaries who could influence the entire operation of Fontaine. Qin Fu cleared his throat and started to preside over the meeting.
"Everyone, let me first tell you something very unfortunate. Based on the information we have now, my guess yesterday should be true. And the day they will take action is today or a few days later."
The words have fallen!
The dignitaries in the conference room woke up one by one, and the remaining sleepiness in their minds disappeared instantly.
Although they had already had bad guesses when they were woken up in the middle of the night, these dignitaries had not expected the situation to be so bad. After hearing Tan Fu's conclusion, they were all horrified.
Faced with a matter of life and death, the attitudes of the powerful and wealthy became extremely serious. They put aside their grudges and united as never before.
"Qin Fu, first tell us the intelligence that has been sent back so far. We need to understand the basis for your judgment, and then discuss counterattack methods based on it."
Duke Tanfu O'Brien nodded and distributed the stack of printed materials in his hand. After each dignitary had received them, Tanfu began to explain.
"First, there was the meeting between Chao Ke, the representative of [Buffati Mansion], and Navilette at [Momang Palace] yesterday."
"I believe everyone present here is aware of this. Some of you were even present at the meeting at the time, right?"
The dignitaries in the meeting room nodded. After all, Chao Ke had not concealed his actions of breaking into the [Momang Palace] and disrupting the routine meeting yesterday. After driving away all the ministers of Fontaine, he and Villette had obviously talked about some topics that could not be heard by the dignitaries.
"Qin Fu, do you mean that they are planning to attack us at this time?"
"That's right." Tanfu O'Brien nodded, "And I can also guess what they talked about during this period of time. What are they going to use to attack us?"
"which one?"
"[Gray River District Orphanage]!"
"【Gray River District Orphanage】???!"
Many of the dignitaries present couldn't help but change their expressions. They all knew too well the real scene in the orphanage in the Gray River District, how much money was made there, and what kind of shady business was being done there.
"Qin Fu, what evidence do you have that they were discussing this?"
A dignitary asked Tan Fu.
"Use your still-moving hand to turn to page three of the material. You'll know after you read it. Time is running out, so ask fewer questions that don't require much thought."
The nobleman who was rebuked by Qin Fu was not angry, and immediately looked through the information at hand.
"Hiss----" The noble took a deep breath, "[Gray River District Orphanage] was taken away? The children inside were moved away under the cover of night!"
"It's bad, it's bad. With these witnesses and the secret account book that your [O'Brien family] lost, none of us can escape."
The noble wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly read the information on the remaining pages. Other nobles were also doing the same thing.
After everyone had carefully read the intelligence materials, the dignitary who had just been choked by Qin Fu slammed the table and spoke again, "We have to go find the children in the orphanage. There are so many of them, and they are all severely malnourished. Even if someone helps them move, they can't get far."
"We must find them immediately and kill them all. Without witnesses, we still have some room for defense."
Qin Fu nodded at the dignitary. "This is a smart statement. Give the order to mobilize the Fontaine police force under your control to search every household in the Fontaine District and the Grey River District. The reason for the duty is that a large number of children have been kidnapped by human traffickers."
"it is good."
However, facing Tan Fu's tone of command, Quan Gui looked at him deeply.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, the nobleman acted quickly.
Even if there is an internal fight, we have to overcome the current difficulties first.
