Chapter 377 Cold-Blooded Animal

The White Diamond Restaurant in the Lakeside Business District of Xinyue City, the surrounding area has been put under martial law by the security forces because an extremely distinguished guest has come here.

The VIP banquet hall on the top floor, with gorgeous crystal chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, the lights are soft and bright, and there are gorgeous murals and exquisite reliefs on the walls, making people feel as if they are in a palace of art.

The waiters are dressed in neat suits and neatly tied ties. They hold silver trays and bring all kinds of delicious dishes into the banquet hall. They are elegant in every gesture.

A large rectangular dining table is placed in the center of the restaurant, and the guests have already taken their seats.

The person sitting in the main seat is undoubtedly the court commissioner Luo. She has taken off the black coat she was wearing, and the white shirt undoubtedly highlights her proud curves.

But no one cares about the woman's graceful body at this time, and everyone's attention is on her collar.

There are three badges worn there.

The double helix symbolizing the joint venture company.

The mechanical soldiers symbolizing the Iron Blood Union.

The winged white dragon symbolizing the Black Domain Group.

This special commissioner of the court actually wore a three-party badge at the same time!

This only means one thing, the headquarters of the three giant companies have given Luo the highest permission, and she will have the absolute power of life and death in Xinyue City!

Zhao Yiming sat opposite Luo, and Amir and other important officials sat in the second seat according to their status. Most people did not dare to look directly at the special commissioner wearing a three-party badge, and could only glance at her cautiously.

Shangting had notified before sending people to Xinyue City. Everyone knew that it was Luo who came, so they naturally tried to investigate her in advance through various connections to facilitate getting along with her later.

It is reported that Luo is a person who does things neatly at work, but her personality is gentle and easy-going on weekdays, and she is deeply trusted by her colleagues in Shangting.

She has few hobbies, she doesn't like luxury cars, jewelry, and famous watches, and she has no interest in art and elegant objects, but she likes food.

Food hobbies are not uncommon, but in Luo, her hobbies are so special that it is difficult for everyone to understand.

At this time, the waiters are putting various delicacies on the table, with golden caviar smeared on French foie gras, exuding an extremely tempting aroma.

The sushi was cut by professional chefs and neatly placed on the plate. The fresh salmon meat was bright in color, paired with pickled ginger slices and high-quality glutinous rice, which made people salivate.

There were also black truffle steaks made of top-grade Wagyu beef, precious seafood directly airlifted from coastal cities, chocolate mousse cakes sprinkled with edible gold foil, etc., which were extremely luxurious.

There were only more than 20 guests present, but the table was filled with various delicacies. If you count them carefully, you will find that there are a full 100 dishes.

Can more than 20 people eat 100 dishes? Of course not.

Moreover, this is not for more than 20 people.

This is for Luo alone.

Everyone had inquired before that Luo was very efficient at work, but her lifestyle was not honest, and could even be described as extravagant, especially in terms of three meals a day.

Whether she was eating in the unit restaurant in Shangting or being invited to a banquet, she had a habit of having 100 dishes for every meal.

These 100 dishes were not the kind of small plates that could be eaten in one or two bites. When cooking for her, whether chicken, duck, fish or meat, they must be served in large plates with luxurious specifications.

Some people may ask, how can you finish this?

The answer is, of course you can't finish it. Not to mention people, even pigs can't eat a hundred large dishes.

So Luo's eating habits are different from others.

At this time, two waiters worked together to put a half-person-sized plate in front of Luo, and respectfully opened the lid. Inside was a freshly baked whole lamb.

Luo picked up the chopsticks and slowly moved over the roasted whole lamb, as if looking for a place to put the chopsticks.

Not long after, the chopsticks landed, and she picked up a piece of crispy skin from the lamb, about the size of a thumb, and put it into her mouth to taste.

After eating the crispy skin, she nodded to the waiter, who removed the roasted whole lamb and replaced it with the next dish.

This is a plate of emerald shrimp and pineapple fried rice. The shrimp was just caught from the sea thousands of kilometers away this morning, and the pineapple was picked from the tropical area in the south. It was fried with high-quality rice and various condiments. A whole plate, the amount is enough for at least five people to eat.

Luo admired the color of the food in front of her, then raised her chopsticks, picked up a corn kernel with rice stuck to it, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, and then signaled the waiter to change the dishes.

The guests looked at each other, watching Luo "eat" one by one, speechless.

Yes, this is Luo's eating habit.

She must have a hundred dishes for each meal, and only take a small bite of each dish, and ask people to replace it after tasting it.

This extravagant way of eating is even worse than the most greedy dignitaries present.

If it were just like this, it would be fine.

There are so many dishes, and each portion is only a small bite. It could have been eaten by everyone, or taken away by people.

Sorry, no.

Luo never shares food with others, hers can only be hers.

If you want to eat, then you can order it separately.

Not only does Luo not share with others, she also has an outrageous habit.

As time went by, Luo tasted the hundred dishes one by one.

As for the next scene, even though everyone had been mentally prepared, they still felt ashamed when they actually saw it.

Luo finished the last bite, put the chopsticks neatly back on the table, smiled and leaned back on the chair, as if preparing to enjoy a performance.

The restaurant door opened, and the waiter pushed in huge trash cans one after another on a cart.

They picked up the dishes on the table that Luo had barely touched and poured them in one after another.

Yes, this is Luo's unique quirk.

She would not give the uneaten food to others, and she would not pack it. She would watch it being dumped into the trash can and enjoy the feeling of wasting food after being full.

In this way, everyone watched helplessly as one piece of delicious food was thrown away.

Although the person treating the guests was Zhao Yiming, with his financial resources, the money spent on this meal was nothing at all.

They usually waste food, but this is the first time they waste it to such an extent.

This person is really difficult to understand.

Watching the waiter pour all the hundred dishes into the trash can, Luo Cai turned his eyes to Zhao Yiming opposite, smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, thank you for the hospitality. I am very satisfied with the food you prepared."

Luo is a special commissioner from the capital court, and he also wears a badge awarded by the headquarters of the three giant companies. He holds the power of life and death. In terms of organization and status, he is far from comparable to a regional figure like Zhao Yiming.

Zhao Yiming nodded slightly to her and said in a humble tone: "Miss Luo is joking. It is my honor to be able to invite you to the banquet."

Luo smiled, his golden eyes filled with mystery: "Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be so humble. You are the only regional leader who survived the Battle of the Babel Tower. Both the court and the headquarters are talking about you."

Zhao Yiming suddenly froze in place like a statue, his lips pursed tightly.

Luo dragged his cheeks with his little hands and looked at him with interest: "I heard that you put on women's clothes, stuffed a pillow in your belly to pretend to be a pregnant woman, and then deceived Fenrir and escaped. This is true. Fake?"

Zhao Yiming just gritted his teeth and remained silent without saying a word.

Obviously, that kind of embarrassing move not only trampled on his self-esteem, but also made him anxious, because in the eyes of the headquarters, this was definitely not a glorious thing.

Looking at the silent Zhao Yiming, Luo covered his lips and chuckled, and his voice became lighter: "Don't be so nervous, I'm just asking about the situation casually. There's nothing to feel inferior to."

"It's human nature to cherish life, let alone a big shot like you. When faced with a crisis, the most important thing is to survive. Only by surviving can you continue to do things."

"What's wrong with wearing women's clothing and pretending to be pregnant? There are many heroes in history who survived in embarrassment, but didn't they all achieve great achievements later on?"

"If you don't know how to survive, do you want to be crushed to death like a bug like Alexander, Tsukimi and Ryuichi? Wouldn't that be even more ridiculous?"

Zhao Yiming has been in an important position for so many years and has long understood a truth - don't depend on what the leader says, it depends on what the leader does.

Everyone can say nice things, but how much of them are true?

Some kind words may indeed be compliments from the heart, but more often they are candied dates before the big stick.

Zhao Yiming calmed down his inner anxiety and calmed down. He deliberately skipped this topic and asked proactively: "Miss Luo, what are the instructions from the headquarters?"

Luo smiled and said slowly: "Yes~ Your chairman asked me to bring you two gifts."

"Gift." Zhao Yiming was a little confused. Obviously, this kind of statement was beyond his expectation.

"Pa." Luo gave her a high-five, and the accompanying clerk standing in the corner handed her the briefcase with both hands.

Luo took out a beautifully crafted box from his briefcase and placed it in front of Zhao Yiming.

Zhao Yiming glanced at Luo, and after receiving permission from his eyes, he opened the box.

Inside lies a double helix badge.

The company's emblems are all double helix logos, but the workmanship may be slightly different depending on the region.

District-level badges are all silver-edged.

The one in front of me is gold-rimmed, symbolizing the headquarters area.

Luo smiled and looked at the dull Zhao Yiming and said, "The first gift, the headquarters badge."

"Your chairman said that based on your ability, Crescent City is too small, so he has specially reserved a position for you among the headquarters executives, and you are welcome to take up the position."

Zhao Yiming was completely stunned. In the past few days, he had been living in uneasiness every moment. His nightmares at night were scenes of the Tower of Babel being penetrated by the Wolf King.

There is not only the fear of Fenrir, but also the fear of the headquarters.

The Tower of Babel was overturned, and the regional elites and executives were almost wiped out. However, he was still alive. This was both lucky and unfortunate.

Fortunately, life is still there.

Unfortunately, life no longer belongs to him.

During this time, he also tried to contact the headquarters, but received no response.

This silence was like the calm before the storm, tormenting him all the time. He didn't know how the headquarters would punish him.

But at this time, he never expected that what he was suffering from was not punishment, but a relocation order to the headquarters.

This gift came so suddenly and hard to understand that it made him feel like he was in a dream.

Zhao Yiming's mouth opened and closed, his eyes blinked messily, and he couldn't hide the confusion on his face: "Miss Luo, this"

Luo raised his index finger to his lips and made a silencing gesture.

Zhao Yiming shut his mouth and waited for the next sentence.

Luo put down his hand and smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, there is a second gift."

She high-fived again, and this time the restaurant door opened, and the clerk brought a large rectangular object in on a large cart.

Everyone took a closer look and gasped.

coffin!

The second "gift" is a coffin!

Luo stood up from his seat and walked to the coffin, pacing along it while his fingers gently stroked the coffin.

"Your chairman said that this coffin is his favorite style. It is made of pure sandalwood. It smells fragrant when cremated. It is exclusive to big shots."

"In the past few decades, he used this coffin to send off 27 branch heads from various regions, allowing them to return to dust and return to earth."

Luo looked at Zhao Yiming, whose eyes were out of focus, and asked in a playful tone: "Mr. Zhao, which of the two gifts do you like? People should not be greedy. You can only choose one."

When Zhao Yiming came back to his senses, his back was already covered with cold sweat, and the shirt was soaked. He also understood what the headquarters meant.

He stood up and bowed to Luo at almost 90 degrees, and his voice was low and suppressed: "Please ask for instructions"

"Click, click, click" The high heels touched the ground, and a light but cold sound came from far to near, and finally stopped at Zhao Yiming's side.

Luo leaned down and met Zhao Yiming's sight from below.

The light from the ceiling was blocked, and the backlight shadow fell on Luo's face, making it difficult to distinguish the details of his expression. One could only see the pair of golden eyes without any emotion.

For a moment, Zhao Yiming had some kind of illusion that these golden eyes did not belong to humans, but to cold-blooded animals, to a venomous snake.

The soft, yet deadly oppressive voice reached his ears: "I want the Wolf King."

"Fenrir was seriously injured after piercing the Tower of Babel. No matter who took her away, she must not have gone far and must be lying in a corner of this city."

"Cooperate with me to find her, whether she is alive or dead, you go to the headquarters for a higher position."

"If you don't find her, you go into the coffin, dust to dust, earth to earth."

After hearing this, Zhao Yiming's eyes were focused again.

He didn't speak, but just kept bowing, lowering his head even lower, using this humble mentality of a lower-ranking person as a response to Luo.

Luo held Zhao Yiming's arm and straightened him up, and the light from the ceiling finally illuminated her face.

Zhao Yiming suddenly realized that there was still a gentle smile in those golden eyes, and the cold-blooded animal feeling just now seemed to be just an illusion.

Luo gently stroked Zhao Yiming's shirt, helping him smooth out the wrinkles squeezed out by the bow just now, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, you have been working in Xinyue City for so many years, you have countless connections, and you have also supported many forces."

"I don't feel bad if I dig a few pieces of meat from you?"

Zhao Yiming quickly understood what Luo was talking about, and he responded in a deep voice: "Everything is at your disposal."

Luo smoothed the last wrinkle on Zhao Yiming's shirt, smiled and patted his shoulder, and turned away.

"It's time to work, those who have crossed the red line, catch them all in one fell swoop." (End of this chapter)
