Peninsula Hotel, Grill.
Originally an authentic French restaurant, two iron grills were placed on the long table. Two of the hotel's star chefs are working with the waiters to provide tableside barbecue services for a group of animals.
To be honest, this method is not only an insult to the hotel, but also disrespectful to the star chef. But under the temptation of money, the two chefs from France particularly liked this disrespect.
Who makes the rules of this world always set in the hands of the rich? Rich people can eat whatever they want. If a group of rich people eat like this, this way of eating will become a common table manner.
"Sir Li, is this really okay?" Song Zijie sat at the dining table with a napkin hanging on his chest, feeling a little uneasy.
Although he also started out in the middle class, his eldest brother used to make money from outside sources. How could he ever spend it this way?
"Sir Chen likes this, so just eat it like this." Li Shaoze shook his head and looked at Chen Jiaju devouring it with a nonchalant expression on his face.
Originally, in order to remove the bad luck for Ajie's hospital stay today, he proposed to invite some of his close associates to have a meal.
At first we planned to have barbecue at a roadside stall, but in view of the bombing at the last party, everyone finally decided that it would be better to eat in a shopping mall.
So Li Shaoze simply waved his hand and invited everyone to have a good meal at the Peninsula Hotel.
But a steak in the steakhouse probably weighs less than two pounds. This group of animals couldn't eat enough, and finally Chen Jiaju complained that he wanted to eat barbecue, so the current scene occurred.
But don’t mention it, the barbecue made by these steak masters tastes really different from that at the street stalls. The main difference is probably the price.
Fortunately, there were not many people. Apart from Li Shaoze, there were only five people, Chen Jiaju, Song Zijie, Chen Jin, and Fang Yiwei.
Meiko, Ami, Jackie, and Chen Jing's newly acquired girlfriend Jiayi also appeared.
However, after finishing the steak, these women went to the restaurant bar to chat and did not participate in the second half of the barbecue that belonged to men.
…
"Wow, Sir Li, the barbecue here is great." Chen Jiaju burped and looked up to find that everyone seemed to have finished eating and were watching him eating together. They were a little restrained and laughed loudly to try to cover up the fact that he was a foodie. .
But what is deep in one’s bones cannot be hidden no matter what. But when everyone goes out to eat, they just want to be happy. Li Shaoze would not deliberately tease him and waved to the waiter to pour the after-dinner wine.
When the waiter poured the wine, Chen Jin said with special concern: "Ajie, you can have a drink just after being discharged from the hospital."
"OK, no problem." Song Zijie made a gesture and smiled so handsomely that the waitress next to him was stunned.
You know, there was a big fight in the kitchen in order to serve this handsome guy.
Only the three waiters who win in the end are qualified to pour wine here.
"That's good." Chen Jin felt relieved and saw that Ah Tou had raised his glass and quickly picked up the wine.
"This time I welcome Ajie from the hospital, and I also celebrate Jin Zai's return from training. By the way, I also want to congratulate Sir Chen for solving a major case."
"Come." Li Shaoze greeted with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Tou."
The guys all clinked their glasses and drank three-thirds full of the liqueur.
After taking a breath, Song Zijie looked at Chen Jin with envy: "Jin Zai, I heard that you have been promoted."
"No, it's still the police chief." Chen Jin chuckled, feeling somewhat proud.
Li Shaoze could also see that this young man Song Zijie was very enterprising. However, I was injured in the last action and was hospitalized. I missed some opportunities and felt a little unbalanced.
Although there is a ranking based on seniority, there is no chance for a newcomer like Ajie. But if I feel bad, that means I feel bad, and no amount of comfort will be of any use unless I come up with something practical.
Li Shaoze put down his wine glass and winked at Ajie: "Ajie, you are going to get the medal of bravery soon. We are envious of you."
"Among our group, you are the only one who has a medal, and none of us have any." Li Shaoze let out the news with a groan.
Ajie's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he scratched his head in embarrassment: "Tou, although the medal is good, I want to be promoted to inspector."
"I'll promote you to sergeant at the end of the year, and we'll talk about you as inspector in two years."
Li Shaoze's words made Ajie very excited, and he immediately changed his words and said: "The chief is good, the chief is so good."
"Sir Li, I love you so much."
The inspector who can't get it and the police sergeant who can get it, anyone who is not a fool will know which one is better.
But then Song Zijie seemed to have thought of something, and with excitement, he lowered his voice and said, "Tou, the director is retiring at the end of the year."
"What do you want to say?"
Li Shaoze was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became obscure.
Seeing that everyone was full, he took out two sheets of food, handed them to the waiter along with the dinner plate, and asked the chef and waiter to come forward and call them if necessary.
When the other guys heard such a sensitive topic, their expressions suddenly became very serious.
Because the change of director is a major event that affects the entire police force.
For a military uniform that patrols the streets every day, it doesn't matter who is the director. But for lower-level police officers, it's a little different.
They are not qualified to take sides.
However, each director has a different style and philosophy, and his policy policies will truly affect the interests of grassroots police officers like them. Therefore, before every director retires, it is the most stressful moment within the police force.
Although among the people sitting there, there were only two inspectors with the highest police rank.
But this group of people seemed to really want to get in the position, and their expressions were inexplicably nervous.
Song Zijie hesitated for a moment and then said: "I heard that Brother No. 1 is very supportive of the Director now. People outside say that Director is the candidate for the next Brother No. 1..."
"It's hard to talk about this kind of thing." Chen Jiaju muttered softly.
Chen Jin's eyes suddenly lit up: "When I was in special training, I heard an instructor mention that our director has the position of senior assistant director."
"Yes, I was just promoted at the beginning of the year."
"But he rarely goes to the General Administration. Currently he is mainly in charge of our Western District." Chen Jiaju was obviously more familiar with the internal affairs of the Western District. When he said this, his expression gradually became a little strange.
Li Shaoze knew as soon as he heard that Lei Meng's position as "senior assistant director" was to pave the way for the future No. 1 brother.
At that time, it might not be paving the way, but just pre-retirement benefits. But it is obvious that this position will become a springboard for Raymond to be promoted to director.
If he can really be promoted successfully, it won't be too abrupt for Raymond to take over as the "first brother" with the position of "senior assistant director".
As for the struggle between high-level factions, police officers such as Chen Jiaju and others could not see anything clearly.
But now even they can hear relevant news from various channels. This proves that the high-level struggle has entered a fierce state, and the police are being released everywhere to prepare themselves mentally in advance.
"It seems... the wind is really blowing."
Li Shaoze glanced at the waiters and immediately read some kind of ambition in their eyes.
Just kidding, the future director is his immediate boss. Who can not be excited? Who can not be excited?
Even Li Shaoze's thoughts gradually became hot.
But he also admired Raymond's city very much. It's obviously a critical moment, but I still feel refreshed and play Minesweeper every day when I go to work.
