Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After spending some time with Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi hung up.

The driver kept looking at Lin Yi from the corner of his eye.

He was filled with respect.

He even wanted to ask Lin Yi for guidance.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Crab Emperor Pavilion.

Out of admiration for Lin Yi, the driver waived two yuan in change.

Crab Emperor Pavilion was one of the more famous restaurants in Zhonghai.

Although it was not a three-star Michelin restaurant, it was still famous. Many food bloggers had come here to try it.

“President Lin?”

Just as Lin Yi was waiting for the elevator and about to go to the private room on the second floor, he heard someone call his name.

!!..

He turned around and realized that it was a middle-aged man. There were a few people following him. They seemed to be hotel staff.

Lin Yi sized up the middle-aged man who spoke and thought for a while, but he couldn’t remember anything.

They did not know each other.

“And you are?”

The middle-aged man walked towards Lin Yi.

“h.e.l.lo, President Lin. I’m the general manager of the Crab Emperor Restaurant chain, w.a.n.g Tianhu.”

With that, Tianhu w.a.n.g handed over a business card. Lin Yi took it casually, but he still had no impression of him.

“h.e.l.lo,” Lin Yi replied politely, “You look familiar, but I don’t remember where I’ve seen you before.”

“We’ve never met, and you can’t won’t me, but you should know my brother.”

“Your brother?”

“My brother is w.a.n.g Tianlong.”

“F*ck!”

“You two are relatives?” Lin Yi was shocked. No wonder he looked familiar.

“He’s my cousin. My father is his second uncle.”

Lin Yi was enlightened. “Then we are considered familiar with each other.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We can be considered to have gotten to know each other. 1 didn’t expect to have the chance to see you today. This is the honor to our Crab Emperor Pavilion.”

“You’re too kind.”

“President Lin, are you here for dinner? I’ll arrange the best private room for you.”

“There’s no need to make a big fuss. 1 just came over for a meal with friends. Otherwise, 1 won’t be able to eat.”

w.a.n.g Tianhu gave him a meaningful look. “Got it. You’re keeping a low profile.”

Lin Yi smiled. As expected of w.a.n.g Tianlong’s younger brother. He could understand his words with just one look.

“Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going up.”

“Okay, okay, okay. Take care, President Lin.”

w.a.n.g Tianhu respectfully sent Lin Yi to the elevator and said to the waiter, “Find out which room President Lin is eating in. Serve a few dishes and bring a few bottles of good wine over. We can’t be negligent. Also, we can’t accept any of his money after this.”

“Got it, Director w.a.n.g.”

Soon, Lin Yi took the elevator to the third floor.

Outside the private room, he could hear the sound of laughter.

“Brother Lin, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Seeing Lin Yi enter, Zhang Zixin was the first to pull him to her side.

After changing out of their training uniforms, the girls switched into their own clothes, with their attractiveness noticeably increasing, providing a significant boost to the visual atmosphere.

Seeing Lin Yi surrounded by a group of girls, Zhou Xinghai rolled his eyes.

He was the one who had organized the day’s event. How did Lin Yi become the main character?

“Come, come, come. Everyone is here. Let’s order now.” Zhou Xinghai said. “Everyone, relax. I’ve already informed the manager. There’ll be a discount for this meal. Don’t stand on ceremony.”

“But looking at the menu. Even with 30% off, it’s still not cheap.”

“It’s fine. Just pay 100 yuan per person today. I’ll take care of the rest.”

Although Zhou Xinghai’s family background was not bad, he could not afford to treat more than 40 people to a meal alone.

If each person paid 100 yuan, he could still bear to front the remaining money.

This was also the countermeasure he had thought of on the way.

Because Gu Yiran was here today, he had to be generous and win her favor.

“No, we should go Dutch. Your family’s money doesn’t grow on trees.”

“It’s just a small matter. It doesn’t matter.”

Ten minutes later, everyone ordered.

The dishes were served very quickly. About twenty minutes later, they were served one after another.

Seeing the alluring seafood dishes on the table, everyone’s appet.i.te was whetted and they prepared to try them.

“My Brother Hai is so generous. I’ve never eaten in such a good place before,” Ding Chao said with a smile.

“It’s a small matter. It’s not much money. I’ll treat you in the future.” Zhou Xinghai raised his wine gla.s.s and said heroically.

“Come, come, let’s fill our gla.s.ses and toast Inspector Li and Instructor Gu.”

Everyone responded and filled their gla.s.ses, toasting the two of them.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” Li Xianghui raised his gla.s.s and said, “Although some of you will be a.s.signed to the police stations below, you are still under the jurisdiction of the sub-bureau. In the future, you should help and support each other and stay united.”

“Got it, Inspector Li.”

Everyone downed the wine in their cups, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

“Let’s drink to our hearts’ content today. We have to enjoy ourselves to the fullest. We won’t go home until we’re drunk.”

After saying that, Zhou Xinghai elbowed Ding Chao. The latter understood and raised his gla.s.s.

“Team Leader Lin, you’ve put in a lot of effort organizing our training and warm-ups. Let me toast you.”

“A weasel paying respects to a chicken is up to no good,” Zhang Peng said. “What are you talking about? Did 1 make a mistake in toasting?”

“Haven’t you guys always been at odds with Brother Lin? 1 don’t believe you’ll be so kind as to toast him.”

“There was indeed some unpleasantness in the past, but now that the training is over, those things have disappeared. I’ll toast Team Leader Lin and let bygones be bygones. There shouldn’t be anything wrong with that, right?”

“I think you’re…”

“There’s no need to be so calculative. It’s just a gla.s.s of wine.”

Lin Yi filled his gla.s.s. “Come, drink.”

“I’ll gi first.”

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate. He took the gla.s.s and downed it in one gulp.

“Good job, Brother Lin.” Zhang Zixin clapped and cheered like a fangirl.

At the same time, Zhou Xinghai also raised his gla.s.s.

“Lin Yi, I’ll drink only this one toast with you. Even though we’ve had our unpleasant moments before, let’s let bygones be bygones after this drink.” “From the looks of it, why does it seem like you’re planning to get me drunk?” “How can you say I’m trying to get you drunk? On such a joyful day, we must fully enjoy ourselves.”

Gu Yiran shook his head secretly. She could tell what Zhou Xinghai was thinking at a glance.

It was obvious that he wanted to get Lin Yi drunk, but she had personally witnessed Lin Yi’s alcohol tolerance firsthand.

He didn’t balk after downing four bottles of Aces of Spades. It wouldn’t be easy to get him drunk.

“That’s enough, you’ve already had one drink just now. There’s no need to keep drinking,” Gu Yiran said.

Gu Yiran’s words made Zhou Xinghai very happy.

Was he concerned about her?

All the more reason to push on He had to force Lin Yi to drink and help her regain her pride!

“Don’t worry, Instructor Gu. My alcohol tolerance is not bad. This bit of alcohol is nothing to me,” Zhou Xinghai said with a smile.

“I remember back in school, Brother Hai drank more than ten bottles of beer alone. Everyone else vomited, but he was fine. This bit of wine is nothing to him,” Ding Chao said..
