「那你回來吧。

回來就馬上找我。」

大小姐交代完這些，就直接掛掉電話，連再見都沒有說，反正很快就會見面，她也不想再浪費時間。

「開車吧。」

安先生本身的權力也是不容忽視的，他甚至坐在後座，叫前面的司機開車。

「你回來了。

大小姐已經在裡面等你了。」

接待安先生的是一個才四十多歲的男人，就在他回到別墅時，已經是一段時間後。

「知道了。」

安先生通常是會敲門的，這次當然也不例外，即使他有很大的權力可以不必敲門。

「阿俊，過來陪我吃東西。」

大小姐早就坐在沙發上，她叫的可是只有兩人在的時候的親密稱呼，很顯然俊朋也喜歡她這樣子叫。

「今天吃牛排，不過會不會有點太生。

你這樣會吃壞肚子的。」

俊朋一坐到沙發上，娜麗就自動黏上來，彷徨兩人是很親密的戀人一般。

「怎麼會。

牛排就是要這樣子才好吃。」

娜麗馬上熟練的切了一塊帶點血色又有點粉的肉，甚至還會滲出紅色的血來。

「不用了，你吃好了。

我今天胃有點不太舒服。」

以往俊朋的確是會陪娜麗這樣子吃，不過不知道為什麼今天的他卻有點膩了。

就在俊朋和娜麗享受的時候，時間回到幾天之後，也就是偵探開始跟蹤小林之後。

這天小林按照劇本上的情況，來到偏遠的孤兒院，準備做餐點來幫助這些孩子，反正這些錢都是安先生給的，所以其實沒什麼太大的差別。

Alex愈是想要往更深的地方調查，就愈是查不到什麼，也許在外人看來，小林就是個完美的人。

但是一個人真的有那麼完美，難道他都沒有弱點的，當然不可能，Alex還就不信了，相信只要繼續調查，小林總有一天會露出馬腳。

「安先生，你確定。

我們這樣騙人是不是不太好。」

坦白來說，小林是內心有點動搖的。

「你現在跟我說騙人不好。

你要想清楚當初是誰讓你假釋出獄的。

你可是有詐騙，還有殺人的前科。」

安先生一副很有把握的模樣，畢竟他的手上握有小林的弱點，所以他一點也不擔心這個男人會背叛他們。

「是，當然，這點我很感謝。

可是這場戲我實在是演不下去。」

小林現在就想退出，再說他也怕自己的秘密會被發現，所以當然會不安。

「你知道我們在你的身上花了多少錢嗎。

現在就想退出，已經晚了。

不可能的。」

安先生的態度馬上趨於強硬，既然好好說話不行，那就只能用威脅的。

「不然這樣，安先生。

我不會把你們的事情說出去的。

只要讓我走的遠遠的就好。」

小林受不了再繼續過著這樣擔心受怕的日子，所以大膽提出了這個建議。

「你要想想你的家人。

還有你不想給你女兒最好的生活嗎。」

安先生眼看軟的不行，只好來硬的，他只能撥通一個陌生的號碼。

接著電話中就傳來一個稚嫩的聲音，很顯然那會是小林最重要的人。

「爸爸。

家裡來了兩個陌生的叔叔。

你想幹什麼，不要亂來。

不要動我的家人。」

小林很快就認出他女兒的聲音，即使已經好幾年沒見面。

「你放心，只要你乖乖聽話。

把這場戲演好就好。

做一個完美無缺的老闆。」

安先生也不是個善類，畢竟在大小姐身邊待久了，也會變成這樣子。

雖然拿別人的弱點來威脅很無恥，不過有時候想要達到目的，這也是不得不妥協的。

「是，安先生。」

小林雖然想反抗，無奈安先生背後的勢力實在太龐大，他自己也是無可奈何。

「辛苦了。

我還有其他事，就先走了。」

安先生得到自己想要的答覆，就走出了店內，一出來就是直奔停車場，直到坐上車子後，才放心拿出電話，並撥通。

「事情有照原定計劃進行吧。」

對面的女人一開口就是直奔重點，她也不想再多說廢話。

「大小姐，我辦事情難道你還不放心。

已經實施第一步了。

也許很快就能得到我們想要的結果。」

安先生做這些壞事都已經習慣，所以他的語氣也不如以前那樣害怕，反而更多的冰冷的神情，還有冷漠的口吻。

“Alex is very irritable now, if he listens to Libby’s broken thoughts, he may be even more collapsed, so he simply drives on the radio.”

“Turn the sound to the maximum, so that you will definitely not be able to hear it.

Although I am very sorry for Libby this way, he really needs a quiet space. ”

“When he drove to the restaurant, it was already 12 o’clock.

He parked his car in a nearby parking lot.

He didn’t look good on the way back, as if someone owed him millions.”

“But remember to take the lunch you just bought.

It’s not too bad. ”

「Boss, are you in a bad mood?」

“This sentence is obviously an interrogative sentence, but Xiaowen dare not ask too much.”

「No, you can eat it.」

“Alex is bought the lunch from the bank, but now he has no appetite. ”

「You eat first.

I just give him things.」

“Luke knew that Alex was in a bad mood, so he simply took a box of pot stickers and a box of fried dumplings, ready to eat together.”

「I’m not hungry.」

“Alex still has no appetite, even the dumplings he usually likes to eat. ”

「 This is your favorite.

Besides, I brought them all, let’s eat them.」

“Although Luke doesn’t know the reason for Alex’s bad mood, he knows that if he doesn’t solve the problem now, he will definitely make a mistake when he opens in the afternoon.”

「I know.

I just eat.」

“Alex is still very depressed, but he will definitely not bring this emotion into the afternoon. ”

「 Mr. An, you are here.」

“Just a few days ago, Xinlin invited Mr.

An to the store, and the two of them were locked in the office, and they didn’t know what they were talking about.”

「These are the information that can maintain your image.

「of course.

I ice the cake first and eat it after get off work.」

“Although Luke wanted to eat it in one bite now, he couldn’t.

Obviously it was not time to rest.”

「The chef actually likes desserts, which is really a special hobby.」

“Lori was surprised, because it was the first time he saw the cute side of the chef, but it was not too bad. ”

「 Why are you still gathering here?

It’s time to go to work.」

“Alex knew that these employees were just to watch the excitement, but he immediately chased them away with a stern face.”

「Yes, boss.」

“Everyone is very obedient, after all, the salary is in the hands of the boss, how dare you continue to be lazy. ”

“In the next few weeks, Mr. Wang was doing his part, trying to follow Xinlin.”

“ From his residence to his work, you can see the traces of this detective, but obviously there are still flaws. ”

「Sir, I’m sorry.

But he has not found his weakness at present.

As far as I know, that person will give free food to the homeless as soon as the holiday comes.」

“However, all the news is good for Xinlin, and there are almost no rumors that it is bad for Xinlin.”

「How can it be.

Well, you continue to investigate, as long as you report to me once a week.」

“Alex thought that it must have been not long enough, so Xinlin hadn’t revealed his feet yet. ”

「Sir, I see.

Then I go first.」

“The detective didn’t mean to refuse, after all, it’s not good to have money.”

「Today seems to be another day without gains.

Let me just say it, it would be fine if it was handed over to me. 」

“When Libby came out, he was already in a car.

After a year, Alex now has his own car. ”

「To shut up.

It will only be worse if it is handed to you, and certainly not better.」

“Alex knew that this demon would definitely solve Xinlin with a single blow, so he didn’t want to.”

「You always do this, you don’t trust me so much.」

“Libby can only get sulking next to him.

Although he is a demon, he has been with this man for a long time, and he is also affectionate. ”

「Are you Mr. Ai?」

“The next day they made an appointment at a nearby coffee shop, which was also very close to the restaurant.

After all, Alex still had difficulty speaking Chinese.”

「Yes, hello.

Mr. Wang, I think we should stop wasting time and go directly to the topic.」

“Alex just wants to make a quick decision.

After all, he needs to handle many things in the restaurant himself.

Besides, the appointment time is close to the evening, which happens to be the busiest time in the restaurant. ”

「 it is good.

Then I would like to ask who Mr. Ai needs to investigate.」

“This detective is also very witty, and he doesn’t really talk too much nonsense, just tell the key points.”

「This is the person, and I need you to investigate his weaknesses.

It is best to have as many as possible.」

“Alex hopes that things can progress as soon as possible, but the premise is that the detective’s ability is really as good as the rumors said. ”

「 Deal.

So let me talk about the price first.

And this is the content of the contract.」

“The detective seemed to be prepared too, but he didn’t expect that even the contract was prepared, and the content written on it was reasonable.”

“For example, it is like:

If something life-threatening occurs during the investigation, or if photographic equipment is lost, Party A must compensate for all losses.”

「That’s it.

Hope I can hear the good news soon.」

“Alex was also very happy to sign.

Although he didn’t know whether it would be useful to explore Xinlin’s weaknesses in this way, he just didn’t want Xinlin to get better. ”」

「Okay, sir.

Then we call.」

“The detective took the contract and left happily.

After all, he made another business, so of course he had to be happy.”

「Hello, what’s wrong.

Okay, I’ll go back soon.」

“As soon as Alex finished talking about the matter, he received a call from Luke, and saw him on the phone confessing that he wanted to buy something to go back. ”

「Thank you.

Sure enough, you know me.」

“Luke got the cake from Alex, and he was as happy as the child.

It was his favorite flavor, strawberry cake.”

「Then you have to work hard to repay me.」

“Of course Alex knows Luke’s taste.

Although he looks fierce on the outside, he likes cute things, which is surprising. ”

「It seems that Frank’s noodle soup made by you is not well received.

The guest said the noodles were cooked too soft.」

“Alex now announces the results of the questionnaire after get off work, of course since the restaurant has stepped onto the normal track.”

「 Really, maybe my strength is not enough.」

“Although Frank wanted to surpass the chef with his culinary skills, he couldn’t help but not have enough abilities now. ”

「 It doesn’t matter, just work harder.

You worked hard today, and you will go back when the kitchen is finished.」

“Alex also has to go to his own business, anyway, the daily routine is not just the accounting book.”

「Ok.」

“It was close to nine o’clock in the evening, and the night was no longer accompanied by the moon, only a dark color. ”

「Hello, is it Mr. Wang?

I need your help investigating a person.」

“Alex searched for the business card of a detective agency and called, wondering what the purpose was.”

「No problem at all.

Your surname, sir.

Hope we can see one below.」

“The one who answered the phone was a man who was close to middle age, his voice was not as loud and energetic as before. ”

「What are you looking for a detective for?

Are you thinking about killing the boss next door?

Then just find me, why bother to spend money to find someone else.」

“The first thought in Libby’s mind was always thinking about how to get rid of the human beings harmful to it.”

「You think too much.

I just want to find out the weakness of that person.

I heard that that person is also very good to strangers.

But I don’t believe it.」

“Of course, Alex hung up the phone and asked for a convenient time for both parties.

Besides, if Libby was allowed to come, he would not be relieved. ”

「What a disappointment.

Forget it, you hurry up and finish accounting.

I’m hungry, and I have to go back to eat now.」

“Although Libby was disappointed, it didn’t mean to be angry.

This man always did what he wanted.”

「Well, I have already written almost anyway.

gone.」

“Alex said that he would really close the book when he closed it.

Besides, he planned to go back to prepare for the appointment tomorrow. ”

「What did you order for them?」

“The first sentence of Alex is to ask this first, after all, this is also related to the reputation of the restaurant, if it is not handled properly, it may affect it.”

「One serving of beef noodles.

A fillet steak should be medium rare.

A seasonal salad.」

“Sandra really made the decision after careful evaluation, although she didn’t know that the boss agreed with her. ”

「Beef noodles, but the problem is that Luke is not in the store now.

I just don’t know if anyone knows how to make noodles.」

“What Alex is worried about is not the menu issue, but the noodle issue.

After all, Luke was in charge of it before.”

「Boss, I’m here now.

This chef has taught me before, and I must be fine.」

“Frank volunteered to raise his hand forward.

Now that he finally has a chance to perform, how can he not take it well. ”

「 Okay, I’ll leave this noodle soup to you.

You can’t mess up.」

“Even if Alex had already confessed this way, he still couldn’t help worrying that Frank and the others would make a sudden mistake.”

「What’s the menu, boss.」

“Lori and the others are anxious to behave now, but the boss has been holding the menu tightly in his hands and refuses to let go. ”

「Sorry, I was nervous for a while.

One serving of beef noodles.

A fillet steak, medium rare.

A seasonal salad.」

“Alex is obviously still very nervous, but the ones who should come will still come.

Now is the time to prove the restaurant’s strength.”

「Yes, boss.

Lori, you can cook steak.

Eric makes the side dishes.

Then Louis, you can make a salad.

I make noodle soup.」

“Before long, Frank had arranged the work for everyone in the kitchen, and everyone in the kitchen was very cooperative. ”

果然三十分鐘後，菜已經準時上來，也得到了小林他們的稱讚，不過他們的用詞有點誇張就是。

「嗯，的確值得來吃一次。

只不過麵條煮的好像有點太軟爛。

不適合我的口味，還是新林你吃好了。」

只見這位安先生才吃半口而已，就直接把整碗推到小林的面前，看起來就是不喜歡的樣子。

「會嗎，還好啊。

這樣的麵條正好適合我的口味。」

小林倒是不喜歡吃有點太硬的麵條，所以他也沒有想要拒絕的意思。

從頭到尾，餐廳都給這位客人最滿意的服務，用的也是店裡面最昂貴的酒類，就是要讓這位安先生留戀。

只不過這位安先生還是有點嫌棄，不過他是新林帶來的客人，也是不能說什麼，就算艾力克斯想從小林的臉上看出缺點，卻找不到。

「You come and stare at these chefs, I will go outfield.」

“It seemed that Alex wanted to meet Xinlin in person, after all, his competitors had already arrived here.”

「 Yes, boss, take your time.」

“Xiaowen also hopes that the boss can go to the reception in person, and besides, he is the owner of the restaurant. ”

「人來了。

安先生，我先失陪了。」

新林早就想找艾力克斯聊聊，正好就趁著這個機會。

「 好，你去吧。」

安先生只是悠閒的喝著冷開水，等著還未遞過來的菜單。

「Alex, hello.

I brought friends to join me.

hope you do not get angry.」

“When Xinlin walked to the counter, of course he said politely at first.

After all, this is Alex’s site, as it should be.”

「how come.

You bring the guests, I am too happy to be too late.

How can I be angry.」

“Although Alex looked like this on the surface, he still thought that Xinlin was deliberately asking for trouble. ”

「That’s good.

This Mr. Ann is a very important guest.

I hope you can introduce the signature dishes of your store.」

“Xinlin has already made this request, which means that Mr. An’s identity is not simple, and he cannot be offended casually.”

「no problem.

The waiter will recommend some of the most popular dishes in the store.」

“Alex just wants to take advantage of this time to take the Xinlin restaurant down.

He must prove that the dishes in the restaurant are better than other restaurants in Riya. ”

「Sandra, hand over the menu to the two guests over there.

By the way, we recommend the three most popular dishes in our restaurant.」

“Alex quickly called in a new waiter and reminded him to have the most popular dishes in the store, so that he would not be looked down upon by Xinlin.”

「 Okay, I will pass now.

兩位先生，請問你們決定要吃什麼了嗎？

珊卓的第一句話當然是先試探性的問一下，反正這只是形式上的提問，該有的禮貌還是要有的。

「還沒，不如你推薦幾道招牌菜。」

安先生顯然才是掌握主導權的人，只見新林閉口不言，什麼也沒有說。

「是的，兩位先生。

菜大約要30分鐘，請稍等一下。」

珊卓熟練的接過兩份菜單，腦海卻已經在決定等一下的招牌菜了。

名利跑馬燈〈交朋友〉318利

「 安先生，這邊請，這就是我跟你說過的餐廳。」

新林看樣子是打算帶人來吃飯的，可是在Alex 的眼裡，他就是來找碴的沒錯。

「生意倒是還不錯，就是不知道料理是不是真如想像中的那般好吃。」

他口中的安先生不以為意坐在最靠近裡面的位置，因為餐廳的生意之所以會好，都是靠媒體炒作才有這種效果的。

「 服務生，麻煩你給我們菜單。」

新林正好趁今天有空也想要來試試看這裡的食物，老實說他也想知道食物受歡迎的原因。

「好的，請稍等。」

服務生倒是很有禮貌，畢竟經理已經教過他們，面對客人的時候要彎腰加鞠躬，這樣客人才有覺得受尊重。

「那不是隔壁餐廳的人，是不是來踢館。」

這樣的情況很快就被其他服務生注意到，他們一副想要看好戲的模樣。

「你們在說什麼。

不去接待客人在幹嘛。

沒看到今天客人很多嗎。」

小文當然也聽到了，畢竟他就待在外場而已，很容易就能聽到好話還有壞話。

「是，經理。」

其他服務生瞬間就鳥獸散，再也不敢停留在原地半步，好像每次都要挨罵才會記得。

「Boss, come here, I have something to tell you.」

“Although Xiaowen finished scolding his subordinates, he still had to do what he should do.

He immediately went to notify the boss who was running around in the field. ”

「If you have something to say, I am very busy now.」

“Alex can only stop the action in his hand, because usually Xiaowen comes over when there is an important thing to notify.”

「The owner of the restaurant next door came over for dinner.」

“Xiaowen just hopes that the boss is the first to know, and he knows that the boss does not like the people in the restaurant next door. ”

「That’s good, it means our restaurant has threatened them.」

“Alex thinks this is a good thing, and it proves that their cooking is really worth tasting.”

“But obviously Xinlin didn’t think like this.

He just wanted to make friends.

He never thought of becoming a competitive relationship with Alex.

Even if it had to be compared, it must be a healthy competitive relationship. ”

名利跑馬燈〈不請自來〉317利

「Chef, how are you?

Your face doesn’t look very good.」

“The next morning, although Luke was in the restaurant early, his stomach was not very comfortable.”

「It may be because of drinking too much alcohol yesterday.

I still have a pain in my head.」

“Luke is working hard with his body, after all, he doesn’t worry about these chefs. ”

「 The chef, you should go back to rest.

Don’t worry about a few of us.」

“Frank is more worried about the chef’s current body, besides, drinking alcohol would cause harm to the body.”

「No, I’m fine.

It will be all right after a rest.」

“Of course, it is impossible for Luke to be obedient.

You must know that if no one is staring at these chefs, it is very dangerous. ”

「 Boss, the chef seems to be unwell.

Let him go home and rest.」

“Seeing that the chef didn’t listen to their apprentices, Lori went outside and asked the boss to come out faster.”

「How could this happen, let me see.」

“Alex is obviously worried.

After all, the chef is the core of this restaurant. ”

「Alex, I’m fine.

Just take a break.」

“Luke seemed to want to keep going, even until the night after get off work.”

「That’s not okay, so people will say that I abusive employees.

You still ask for a day off today.

If you don’t trust these employees, just leave it to me.

I will stare.」

“Alex’s words were obviously helpful, Luke was shaken quickly, and he was also driven home. ”

「 You guys hear it, so hurry up and start acting.

No mistakes can be made today.

Don’t relax just because the road is not there.」

“It seems that Alex is planning to take a trip both outfield and infield.

After all, he has already agreed to Luke’s things, so he can’t miss the appointment.”

「 Yes, boss.」

“Frank planned to take advantage of the boss’s busy schedule to manage these chefs himself. ”

“ Just as Alex was busy running between the outfield and the infield, things seemed to have changed again.”

“Xinlin came here uninvited, and still brought a man in.

I don’t know what he was going to do this time. ”
