Chapter 194: Management Office of the Continental Hotel

~7 min read 1,383 words

In addition to the black clinic being a stronghold of the Continental Hotel outside, although reporting the movements of patients is not an obligation, he does not oppose earning some extra money.

Anyway, standing from the hotel’s position, except for the objects that require gold coins to request services that need to be carefully kept secret, everyone else can be sold.

Really don’t think that such a black organization has special integrity. The loyalty of helping brothers with two ribs is only on the mouth, and marking the integrity with a clear price is the daily routine.

So although he is in it, Henry maintains a state of wandering outside, ready to withdraw and leave at any time.

But he has to confuse others, let others think that he is deeply trapped in the system of the Continental Hotel. Otherwise, why would people let Henry fleece wool for nothing.

To do this, he can only rely on acting.

Because it is not the time to go to work, the traffic in the city center is still smooth. Henry turned into the parking lot near the Continental Hotel after a while, parked the car, and walked into the hotel from the side door.

The side door has no concierge, and does not connect to the lobby, but leads directly to the management office in the basement. This place includes intelligence collection and trading, mission bounty lists, and other functions, which is very lively.

But for the contract gunmen of the hotel, just need a gold coin, naturally there will be special personnel to run up and down for you, choose suitable missions and collect corresponding news.

However, Henry, like most rookies or poor people, came to the basement and dealt with the hotel staff in person. He came to a counter where a beauty wearing a light gray professional OL suit sat.

If you don’t look at her purple short hair, nose ring, black lipstick, and the large tattoo from the collar that opened a few buttons to her cheeks. Perhaps you would think she is an elite who graduated from a famous university and entered Wall Street to work.

But if you look at her overall shape, you will feel that it is the kind of spiritual little sister who has been good from the past and is still inextricably linked with the yellow hair of the past.

"Hi, Lina, your style today is still so unique. It’s just this perfume... citrus flavor, very strange." Henry greeted the girl in front of him, and at the same time handed over the intelligence materials he had prepared.

"This is my grandmother’s ancestral secret recipe. In addition to that natural and elegant fragrance, it also has the effect of maintaining the skin. Ordinary people, I don’t say it."

The little girl has Indian blood, and there are quite a few such local recipes from her ancestors. Henry even suspected that her ancestors were wizards or witch doctors. This kind of thing is a set.

However, Henry didn’t go to cover the girl’s secrets, but praised: "I said, the hands of ordinary girls are rough and unbearable. If you want to maintain them well, unless it is the kind of little girl who doesn’t do anything and is well raised by her family.

"Unlike you, so hardworking, capable, and can maintain a pair of hands as delicate as a baby. Let me see, tsk tsk tsk, this is almost catching up with the silkiness of milk."

Henry very smoothly took the hand that was painted with red nail polish, rubbed the belly of each finger one by one, and played with it carefully.

Lina didn’t resist such behavior, but didn’t let Henry play enough. Instead, when the heat was not up or down, she slapped it away with a quick hand, knocking off the Kryptonian’s bad little hand. She said: "Is it enough to touch the hand? I gave you the phone early."

"Hehe, you have a boyfriend. Not destroying other people’s love is my life principle. Because I am afraid of being hated by too many people." After blowing the cow, Henry hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Hurry up and help me see, see how much money I can get this time."

"Even if you don’t take action to destroy it, you will still be hated by people, do you know." Lina rolled her eyes, and then hung up the fine-pointed glasses, and the work state went online.

While reading the intelligence brought by Henry, she quickly tapped the keyboard of the computer.

The black-bottomed green-character screen on that big-butt CRT monitor is a quite classic picture. As a system similar to the banking system, which is earlier than the prosperity of personal computers, the Continental Hotel established a database system and index very early, and provided terminals for multiple people to use together.

It’s just that the threshold for early computer operation is high, and all instructions have to be memorized. Being able to flexibly use these database systems that may have been established only a few years ago, but have been regarded as old antiques in the information industry, the girls at the counter have also worked hard.

But as long as you are proficient, a database system with powerful indexing functions can become a considerable help.

At least the intelligence brought by Henry, the girls don’t have to flip through paper documents according to alphabetical indexes, and then work hard to check the content. The working day is three days at the earliest.

Search by name and input keywords, and then all relevant content in the database will appear on the screen in the form of entries.

If there are too many people with the same name, then supplement the second and third conditions to filter out irrelevant content. If necessary, delete it manually.

Although according to the rules, it is necessary to verify the content of the new intelligence with the intelligence already in the database, and what the overlap rate is. Use this to judge the bounty amount of the intelligence.

But reading and subjective judgment are easy to become points of dispute. So in practical operation, the girls in the intelligence department decide the bounty amount of the intelligence based on the number of entries finally filtered out.

A screen can display ten intelligence entries. If the content after filtering is nothing, then this intelligence is the highest amount of ten dollars.

For every additional entry, the bounty amount decreases by one dollar. If there is so much relevant intelligence that one page cannot be displayed, then only the lowest one dollar intelligence fee will be given.

This judgment method can be understood by anyone who can count, and it also reduces many disputes. But in fact, it is not that there is no room for manipulation behind it.

Simply put, how to set keywords, how many conditions to set, these will affect the number of intelligence entries finally displayed. This is also why Henry wants to set up a relationship with these girls.

Whether others know it or not, this is someone else’s problem.

As Lina verified, she picked up a red pen and annotated the bounty amount on the intelligence document. After all the documents were checked, she took off her glasses and said: "Your bounty today is twenty-three dollars, do you want to change to small change or whole notes?"

"Give me whole notes. I still have to replenish some medicines and consumables, small change is not very convenient."

Although Henry promised that the black clinic would not sell drugs, what everyone hinted at was actually the kind of rice, antibiotics and other medical drugs are still needed.

"Please wait a moment." Lina smiled quite formally. At the same time, she rolled up the paper document and put it into a cylinder. Then she stuffed the whole cylinder into the pneumatic transmission pipeline behind her.

With a "swoosh" sound, the new intelligence was sent to the data room responsible for inputting and storing paper documents. There are more people responsible for related matters there.

Lina, who was responsible for the front desk, took out the full amount of cash from the cash register, counted it, and placed it on the tray in front of Henry.
