Of course, Li Yu would not refuse the unsolicited request of the mission target.

Soon, the two ended their second official call.

After several lifetimes, Li Yu has a very thorough understanding of the tastes of the mission and goals, and he likes light, meat and vegetables, and is very easy to support.

He walked towards the kitchen, the menu already formed in his mind.

In the kitchen, the chef and a few helpers had already started preparing the dishes, not too busy. Seeing the young man come in, the chef stunned, knowing that another table must be ordered.

Li Yu took the menu from the chef and copied a few dishes from the menu.

The chef took a second glance, most of them are home-cooked dishes, and a small part are the signature dishes in the store.

He fixed the menu on the wooden board with a thumbtack and asked, "Two tables are enough for tonight, I can't take any more."

"Understood." Li Yu pretended to reach into his pocket and took out a few times, frowned and pulled out his hand, "Master Cai, do you have any cigarettes?"

Chef Cai said yes, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked one and handed it over, "Do you want a lighter?"

Li Yu said yes, then took it from the other party, blocked the wind with one hand, tilted his head and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

He imitated the way the original owner was smoking. He thought he was handsome and took a sip with his eyes closed. His throat itch, and he started coughing again.

The heart-wrenching sound of coughing, coughing, and Chef Cai was so frightened that he backed away, thinking he had something wrong.

Li Yu choked and blushed, as if he had cried, and said to the chef with a bitter face, "It sucks too hard."

They were all old smokers, he naturally understood, he reached out and patted the young man on the back a few times.

Li Yu slowed down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and took another sip, seeing that the chef hadn't noticed him, he quickly spit out the smoke.

Chef Cai smelled the smell of cigarettes, and his addiction was also committed. He shook out a light and started to trumpet.

That's great, want to draw everyone together, it's natural to say something.

Like an old fried dough stick, Li Yu exhaled a mouthful of smoke and asked, "Cook Cai, if I remember correctly, you have been here at Red Moon for three years."

"Yeah, I've been working here since Mr. Tang opened his shop."

When a person reaches middle age, it becomes easy to become nostalgic. Before Li Yu began to ask, Chef Cai already began to recall, "I remember when the store first opened, the business in the store was really bad, and I didn't know who it was. Spread the word on the Internet that a previous owner was caught in a fire when he opened a shop here."

Li Yu knew nothing about it.

Although the original owner and Tang Song have been playing since childhood, they have different aspirations. One wants to be a rice bug with peace of mind, and the other wants to start a small business.

Apart from meeting up to drink and eat together, and gags, Tang Song didn't say much about his career.

"Why didn't I know what happened?" Li Yu asked.

"I remember very clearly when it opened for two months." Chef Cai continued, biting his cigarette butt, "The business was so bad that day, the number of customers could be counted on five fingers. The waiters were doing nothing in the lobby. , Some people started to play with their mobile phones, and when they were playing, they saw a local gossip, saying that our red moon has suffered a fire, which is unlucky, and whoever comes will be unlucky."

Li Yu remembered the burnt smell on the female ghost.

Chef Cai, "During that time, things were very noisy, and the general manager was in a bad mood. We thought we were going to close the store several times."

Li Yu remembered that, in his memory, Tang Song was indeed depressed for a while three years ago, and occasionally meeting the original owner for dinner was not very good, and he didn't say anything when he asked him.

Some people don't like to show weakness because they are afraid of being looked down upon, but some people report good news instead of bad news because they are afraid of being worried.

Li Yu felt that the Tang and Song Dynasties belonged to the latter.

At that time, he had just started his business, and he was still carrying Sheng Yiming's investment. If it really collapsed in two months, according to Tang Song's behavior, he must find a way to pay back the money, so he was so overwhelmed.

When the cigarette was finally finished, Li Yu quickly pinched the butt of the cigarette as if he had been granted amnesty, "And then."

"Then one day, the person who spread the rumor was caught, and he publicly apologized on the Internet and in the newspaper, saying that he was a colleague and couldn't understand Tang Song's good business, so he deliberately spread rumors."

"Making rumors?" Li Yu felt that something was not right. The fire was a matter of fundamentals, and he would know it as soon as he checked.

Chef Cai stopped smoking and raised his eyebrows, "Don't believe me?"

Li Yu denied, "No, I just think it's strange, this kind of thing that can find out the tail can't stand textual research, it will be punctured soon, does that person have no brain?"

"It's not stupid." Chef Cai said, "We secretly checked the Internet later, and there was no news that the Red Moon had suffered a fire."

Li Yu thought about it and called the system in his heart, "1551, has this street been rectified?"

1551 said no recently.

"Then the fire station must have filed a police report. Is there anything related to the red moon?" Li Yu asked again.

1551 said, "I'll try hacking the system."

Li Yu was not idle, and continued to inquire with the chef, "So are you familiar with Nga Wang?"

"Awang?" Chef Cai slapped his forehead, "That short young man, I don't know him well, but I see him often."

The various facilities of Red Moon are very complete. The back kitchen has its own bathroom. The chefs will not go to other places to go to the toilet. Moreover, according to the regulations, the back kitchen staff cannot appear in the front hall except during meeting time.

Chef Cai can only see Awang in one situation, that is, he enters the back kitchen himself.

Li Yu didn't think that Ngawang passed through the kitchen to wash the handkerchief in the operation room, "What did he do in the back kitchen?"

Chef Cai's thick black eyebrows wrinkled, "Pick up chicken blood."

Maybe he didn't even realize that, his voice was extremely low when he spoke, and there was an inexplicable strangeness in the roaring sound of the ventilator.

Li Yu was even more confused, "Chicken blood? Nothing else?"

Chef Cai shook his head, "Every time a customer orders a dish with chicken as the raw material, he will come in at the right time and let me give him the chicken blood."

It's not normal how to hear this. Who would be a normal person who is idle and has nothing to do with blood.

Li Yu asked, "Are you taking it back to eat?"

The chef didn't speak, 1551 spoke first, "There is a record of calling the police."

Li Yu widened his eyes in surprise, and caught a glimpse of the person beside him looking at him, he quickly suppressed his emotions, and then heard Chef Cai say, "Foreman Ding, I don't know if your family believes in those, but on our side, we meet On the Qingming Festival or the anniversary of the death of a loved one, use paper money stained with chicken blood to press the grave to drive out the ghosts, and then burn the paper for the deceased."

"You mean, someone in Ngawang's family died?"

"I guessed it too. Maybe he has other uses, like you said."

"Brother Cai, my brain is twitching." Li Yu was depressed, let's continue to discuss supernatural stories, don't rush to change the topic, brother.

Chef Cai couldn't hear his voice, put out the cigarette butt that was burning to his fingers, turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, "I can't talk, I'll be a guest if we talk more."

The customer is God, Li Yu couldn't rob God, so he could only go back to the front hall in dejection.

In the front hall, candles have been lit and arranged in various places, with different heights, but they are scattered.

Tang Song personally came down to supervise everyone's preparations. He was instructing people to move the hung clothes to the side. Seeing Faxiao come out of the back kitchen, he leaned over and stopped half a meter away.

"How's it going? Has the big gold lord's meal been arranged?"

"Don't worry, you're ready." Li Yu looked around and asked, "Is the security in place?"

Tang Song slapped his forehead, "Fuck, I forgot."

He personally went to the door and distributed the tall and strong thugs to every corner of the hall.

The light is not good today, and it is the theme of makeup. The guests are more excited than usual, especially after drinking too much, the thugs are close, and it is easier to prevent trouble and control the situation.

One after another, guests came. heard that there was a theme today, so excitedly went to choose clothes.

These new guests should be horror fans. After choosing their clothes, they took the cosmetics provided by the store into the bathroom.

When he came out again, Li Yu was stunned, his makeup skills were the same as those of the two female ghosts he had seen before.

More and more guests came, and when it was almost seven o'clock, half of the dance floor in the hall was full of people.

Men and women hugged each other's shoulders, hugged their waists, and danced frantically to the fast-paced music, face to face.

It was at this time that Sheng Yiming entered the red moon.

He seemed to have some kind of terrifying aura, and he walked a few steps in, and all the movement in the vicinity stopped, quietly and curiously watching the man passing by with five people.

Li Yu secretly clicked his tongue twice, the big guy's appearance is different, and he has a sound-absorbing effect.

He put on a smile and walked over, but before he spoke, the man opposite took the initiative to reach out to him, "Mr. Ding."

Li Yu quickly held it, "Mr. Sheng, the food is ready, please go upstairs."

Speaking of today's dinner, it's really special. Instead of going to a high-end hotel, I'm going to a nightclub. Everyone who followed behind had all kinds of suspicions, until I heard Sheng Yiming say that the nightclub had his investment.

Knowing that it was for Sheng Yiming, the bosses were elated, not to mention the chaotic dance floor, even the little foreman in front of them became a unique existence in their eyes.

Li Yu walked in front and led the way, his limbs were a little stiff.

"1551, I always feel like someone is watching me."

"It's the mission target." 1551, "He's looking at the back of your head."

Li Yu couldn't hold back, and subconsciously touched it with his backhand, and then heard the system say, "I'm looking at your fingers again."

I don't know why, but it was a normal stare, but it became irritated after saying it from the first brother's mouth.

Seeing the gilded wooden door in front, Li Yu stood still and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The two waiters who had been guarding inside opened the two doors respectively, put their hands folded on their abdomens, and smiled, "Everyone, please."

The waiter wears a small black work suit, with beautiful curves and fresh and elegant makeup, giving people the illusion that they have passed through time and space, from the hustle and bustle of the city to the quiet super five-star hotel.

Among them, some people who have heard of Red Moon whispered to the people next to them, "I have heard that Red Moon's food is good. I thought it was just bragging and promotion. Now it seems that it is really interesting."

The crowd followed Sheng Yiming in, and waited until the man was seated before they sat down.

Li Yu was about to withdraw when the person sitting in the first seat suddenly said, "Mr. Ding, when do the employees in the store usually eat?"

"Four thirty in the afternoon."

Chef Cai is also responsible for the staff meal. After 20 minutes, everyone starts to work.

Sheng Yiming thought for a while, "It's been two and a half hours."

Li Yu didn't understand his specific meaning, and waited quietly for the next words.

"It's better to stay and eat, so as not to be hungry at night." The man said in a very familiar tone, as if the two were such good friends that even Tang Song, who had just walked to the door, was startled.

He still remembers the scene when he signed with Sheng Yiming.

In fact, the first person who contacted him was Sheng Yiming's secretary. The other party came to the door and didn't go around the corner, saying directly that his boss wanted to invest in Red Moon.

Tang Song almost drove him out as a liar.

Later, the other party took out the business card, and when he saw the position on it, he really believed it.

The next day, Sheng Yiming came to the door with the prepared contract.

It stands to reason that the contract should have been prepared by Tang Song himself, so his first reaction at the time was that there was something wrong with the content of the contract, but after a closer look, it was all in his favor, and even the dividend ratio was in line with what he thought. match.

Such kind-hearted investors are very rare in today's business circle, but Sheng Yiming's expression on his face has nothing to do with kindness.

During the whole process of signing the contract, the man's eyes were half-closed, as if he had not woken up, but also seemed arrogant, and he exuded a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.

After the two sides signed, the two did not even shake hands. The big money master left an emotionless "happy cooperation" and left.

Such a person, no matter how you look at it, does not seem to be enthusiastic enough to invite people to dinner at will.

In the house, Li Yu felt the same way.

He didn't agree to stay, but said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, it's work time, it's not in compliance with the rules."

Sheng Yiming chuckled, "I was negligent."

Li Yu got goosebumps from the laughter, made an excuse and slipped away.

He turned around and carefully closed the two doors, with a hand on his shoulder when he turned around.

The hand grabbed his collar and dragged him directly into the safe passage.

Tang Song narrowed his eyes slightly and stood in the corridor with his hips on his shoulders, "What's the matter with you and the surname Sheng?"

"It's nothing." Li Yu felt strange when he said that. From Sheng Yiming's eyes, he could be sure that the man did not carry any memory.

But the attitude of the other party when talking to him is not like a stranger who has only met twice and talked on the phone twice.

Li Yu crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, "To be honest with you, I also find it strange. He gave me the feeling that we were already friends."

Tang Song, "Did you know that in Sheng Yiming's eyes, there are no friends, only partners with interests."

Li Yu shook his head honestly, "I really don't know this."

Tang Song, "..."

He has a vague feeling recently that he has become smarter after being beaten up when he was young, but the funny thing is that sometimes he seems to be more stupid than before.

Tang Song sighed and reviewed the previous contract signing with Sheng Yiming and whispered affectionately.

Li Yu said thoughtfully after listening, "Mr. Sheng really doesn't seem like a good person, you can tell from the attitudes of the other people at the dinner table."

Trembling and trembling, they obeyed orders, but they dared not speak out.

"Wait a minute, I..." Tang Song originally wanted to say that he was looking for someone to investigate in private, but when he got to his lips, he swallowed it back and continued, "I just think he has bad intentions for you anyway."
