This restaurant is reservation-only, and new customers must make a reservation at least three months ago. Even VIP guests like Bai Sheng, who spend seven figures a year, have to make a phone call before they can come in, but the standards for receiving the Chief Inspector are completely different.
As soon as the restaurant received a call from the secretariat of the Supervisory Department, it had to immediately confirm the menu and ingredients. After confirming that they were safe and non-toxic, the Supervisory Department sent a bulletproof car to escort them. The restaurant manager greeted them at the back door and used a special passage to prevent Shen Zhuo and Yue Yang from showing their faces and causing safety hazards. Strictly speaking, guards had to go to the back kitchen to monitor the entire process to prevent poisoning, so as to meet the necessary conditions for the Chief Inspector to eat out.
But this process is too cumbersome, and only a mentally ill inspector would be willing to follow such rules when eating every day.
Shen Zhuo did not ask anyone to go to the kitchen to cause trouble for the employees. He only set up a seat for two in the corner of the restaurant near the floor-to-ceiling window. The place was quiet and private, with the sound of flowing water. Except for the strong gaze of a handsome guy named Bai not far away, who seemed to be catching someone cheating, there was almost no disturbance.
"Sheng, what's wrong with you?" Joseph was terrified. "Who is that person?"
Bai Sheng turned his head and looked at Shen Zhuo like a burning lion, and spat out two words viciously from between his teeth: "My wife!"
Joseph: “?!”
According to the bloody soap operas that Joseph usually follows, he should be shocked and hypocritical at this time: "Oh - how could your wife secretly come out to meet another man without your knowledge, poor Sheng, come to my arms and pour out your anger and grievances, my arms are always open to you!"
—But the fact is that Joseph was a little dumbfounded the moment Shen Zhuo appeared.
Although everyone in the Supervisory Office was used to it, for outsiders who met him for the first time, the impact of Shen Zhuo's face was so shocking that Joseph's next question was blurted out stupidly:
"Oh, really, what's his name?"
Bai Sheng uttered two more words from between his teeth: "Shen Zhuo!"
Joseph was confused: "Ah, his name is Shen Zhuo... What's his name?!"
Bai Sheng stood up and walked straight over. Yue Yang had his back to him and was spreading butter on his bread calmly. His expression was one of calmness and detachment as if he had seen through everything:
"I thought I would die from poisoning today, but I didn't expect it was the law of cause and effect. Yes, it turns out that people will feel more at ease after knowing the answer..." After saying this, he finally ate a bite of bread with peace of mind.
Bai Sheng patted Yue Yang's shoulder from behind, walked past him without stopping, came to the other side of the dining table, and looked down at Shen Zhuo.
Not far away, Joseph almost twisted his body around, stretching his neck to watch their every move. Bai Sheng grinned, his sharp teeth looking like a great white shark, and two words spit out from between his teeth as if he was going to burn his boats:
"Wife."
Shen Zhuo ignored this threatening name and asked with a smile: "Have Director Yue and I disturbed you?"
Director Yue finished the bread in two or three bites, waved to the waiter, and said calmly: "Serve the main course immediately, otherwise I'm afraid I won't live long enough to fill my stomach."
Waiter: “…”
Bai Sheng said sinisterly: "Didn't you say you had to work overtime tonight and didn't have time to come out for dinner?"
