"By the way, Masha, this person is very smart and has a very clear understanding of current affairs. Kara mentioned Qin Yuwen to me. According to Kara, Qin Yuwen's predictions about what was about to happen in the empire were almost identical to what actually happened later."

William thought for a moment, then spoke seriously again.

"So powerful!"

Masha was also stunned, and immediately asked with some surprise.

"Well, the reason I said that is because Qin Yuwen once persuaded Kara to stay in China, but Kara went back to get married. Later, when the war broke out in the empire, Kara remembered it and sent me a telegram to tell me about it."

"Then I should just reject him?"

"Well, just reject him directly, but we can cooperate with him. After all, sometimes we have some information that still requires a lot of time to translate, and we can entrust him to translate it."

"Do we still need to give him ID?"

"Give him his ID and hang it up in the translation department downstairs, but he can't work here. When you need translation in the future, you can look for him directly. Of course, it's not important material."

"But why should we give him an ID? He doesn't work here. He's not our official employee. And asking him to translate might cost more."

"Long-term cooperation does not require that much money. We only need to settle a monthly fee. In addition, giving him a certificate is also for his protection. I am very optimistic about this person."

"Watch him!"

"Yes, this person is very capable and principled, but he is too perfect, so I dare not use him. And what he needs most now is not a job, but protection. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Masha understood immediately, after all, the situation in Shanghai was not good. Qin Yuwen was a Chinese, and instinctively needed someone to rely on.

……

In the Hongfang Cafe, Zhang Tianhao, led by the waiter, went directly to seat number three.

"Sir, what do you need?"

"Have a cup of coffee, preferably freshly brewed!"

"I'm sorry, sir, we're out of freshly ground coffee now. We only have regular processed coffee. Would you like some?"

When he heard this, he was also stunned, and immediately looked at the waiter with a puzzled look.

The waiter took one look and immediately explained, "I'm sorry, sir. During the war, we can't get any coffee beans. We've been out of stock for a week. Excuse me, sir, do you need processed coffee? This kind of coffee tastes pretty good, and it may be gone after a while."

"Okay, give me a drink!"

Zhang Tianhao smiled, then turned his gaze to position number seven not far away.

It’s just that the seat number seven is blocked by the seat behind him, so his face can’t be seen clearly.

But all this was not a problem for Zhang Tianhao. On the contrary, his mental power allowed him to see it quite clearly.

He looked at the time. It was still early, only half past ten in the morning. However, this did not affect his mood for drinking coffee.

So he took out an English novel and started reading.

Time passed by minute by minute, and he had drunk half of the coffee on his table, but his mood did not get worse. On the contrary, he felt a little excited.

"Sir, would you like a change of drink?"

Just when Zhang Tianhao was feeling a little excited, he heard the waiter next to him coming over and asking him in a low voice.

Zhang Tianhao looked at the coffee in the cup, nodded, and said softly: "Continue with a warm cup."

"Ok!"

Zhang Tianhao just took out a banknote and gently placed it on the table.

This is a tip. Generally speaking, guests still give tips, but not much.

Zhang Tianhao didn't care about this rule. He was satisfied with the service and didn't care about the one or two dollars.

"Thank you, sir!"

But Zhang Tianhao didn't care. He just smiled faintly and then sat there and read the book slowly, as if the content of the book attracted him more.

A few minutes later, a cup of warm coffee was brought over and carefully replaced the cold coffee on Zhang Tianhao's table. At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker and a suit inside walked in, then looked around and looked at table number seven.

"Sir, please come with me!"

"Okay, I've reserved a seat, table number seven!"

When the waiter heard this, he immediately looked at table number seven. Table number seven was empty and had been cleaned.

"Yes, sir, I will take you there."

Just as the middle-aged man walked past Zhang Tianhao's table, Zhang Tianhao looked him up and down and smiled softly.

"My dear brother, it's boring to drink coffee alone. Why don't you come to my table and drink coffee together? What do you think?"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned to look at Zhang Tianhao with a puzzled look on his face. After all, he saw a strange and young face.

"This little brother is joking. Drinking coffee with someone is nice, but it's more comfortable to be alone. What do you think?"

The middle-aged man just smiled and prepared to walk to table number seven.

"Brother, I think we are destined to meet today. I have been sitting in this coffee shop for half an hour, but I always feel that there are not many people I like. I think I like you more. If possible, I don't mind buying you a drink."

The middle-aged man who was originally planning to go to table number seven was stunned when he heard this.

"Haha, little brother is really good at joking. Since we are destined to meet, I will bother you!"

The middle-aged man also sat down casually, then looked at Zhang Tianhao, trying to see something from Zhang Tianhao's face.

"Waiter, give this gentleman a glass of——"

"Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Sir, would you like tea or coffee? The coffee here tastes really good."

"Have a cup of coffee. I am also relying on your kindness to have a nice cup of coffee today."

"Okay, waiter, give this brother a cup of warm coffee with sugar!"

As he spoke, Zhang Tianhao took out another twenty yuan from his pocket and put it on the tray.

"Today is my treat. If there is a chance, please treat me again. Of course, we have to meet again when we are destined to."

After Zhang Tianhao finished speaking, he waved his hand. As for the extra money, it was naturally a tip.

Five yuan for a cup of coffee is indeed not cheap, but it has not affected Zhang Tianhao's life.

"Thank you, sir!"

When the waiter saw Zhang Tianhao's gesture, he was overjoyed. After all, he could get a commission of three yuan from this tip, which was a 60% commission.

This is also the rule in coffee shops.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will prepare it for you."

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man also smiled, and then looked at Zhang Tianhao again.

"It looks like you're in a good mood today, little brother!"

"I'm in a good mood. Didn't the ancients often say that it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?"

"Little brother is joking!"

"Where are you from, brother?"

"north!"

"Business?"

"I have some fur business. It's winter now and I heard they sell well, so I bought some here to sell. But, you don't look like a businessman, do you?"

"I am just a small scholar, looking for small things to do to make a living. After all, I am also a local and it is hard to leave my hometown!" (End of this chapter)
