Spoil the Sweet Cute Wife - C178
Mike initially wanted to ignore them: “These two are really troublesome, they lost the item and now they are framing our shop.” He walked out of the kitchen and walked toward the two of them.
“Nonsense!” It was stolen by the people in your store, do you want to deny it? [Do you believe that I won’t make you do all the business today?] Hurry up and give me back the necklace, or I’ll make you close the door right now! ” replied the Senator angrily.
When the councilor heard that there was a surveillance, he looked at his female companion and said, “Let’s go and check the surveillance. We’ll see which pig in your shop stole the item.”
Ten screens were set up in front of the three of them. Mike turned the time back to half an hour ago, and used two times the speed at which he played what had happened in every corner of the shop.
Ten minutes later, the screen did not show anyone getting close to the congressman’s female companion.
The councilor started to get nervous after reading it and argued, “She lost her necklace when she went to the washroom. You don’t have a camera in the washroom, so how can you prove your innocence?”
Mike laughed coldly: “I’m sorry Sir, all eighteen of us are male, do you have any other questions?”
“There must be a dead end. Your camera’s missed. Call your boss over. I have to ask him in person.” did not think that they would directly ask him what would happen, but James had always traveled the world, and was basically not in the shop, so he was in charge of all the big and small matters in the restaurant.
“I’m sorry, sir. The boss hasn’t been back for a long time. If you have any other business, this is his number. I still have a lot of work to do, so I won’t keep you company.” After Mike finished, he gave the representative a name card and turned to leave.
The representative followed behind Mike and said: “Seems like you do not plan to speak honestly. Do you know how much that necklace is worth? It’s worth thirty thousand dollars. How much does a lousy chef like you earn a year? “In that case, when I go back and notify the court, you guys wait for the door to close!”
Mike was infuriated by the representative, “Sir, I think you should be clear that the necklace was not obtained by one of our employees.
“If you can’t teach me the necklace, then just wait for it to close.” With that, the councilor grabbed his companion’s hand and left the dining room.
Seeing that, the waiter at the door asked Mike what was going on. Mike told the waiter what was happening inside the monitoring room, and informed everyone that there would be a meeting after work.
Although Mike did not believe that it was the actions of the shop assistant, but since it was related to the operation of the restaurant, he could only ask them one by one to inform James of their situation.
After James received the call from Mike, James flew back to Sacramento on the plane from Dallas. When he got back to the shop, it was already close to the closing time.
James found Mike and asked: “How is it, did you find the necklace?”
“Old man, I don’t believe that our shop assistant did it. I’ve asked one by one, and at that time they were indeed busy with their own things, it’s impossible for them to steal the necklace. What if that bastard really wants us to close the door? “Old man, you have to think of something.”
James felt a headache. Even if he had been in this business for more than 20 years, representatives could not be offended.
James looked at the shop, only leaving two customers still drinking, and then walked to the two people’s side and said softly: “Two guests, it’s already getting late, and we’re closing, I wonder if you guys would be able to finish your meal.”
One of the men said, “The wine here is pretty good. Why don’t you give us another bottle?”
James was already close to sixty years old, wearing a black suit and tie, he looked at the red wine bottles on the table, drinking the cheapest red wine in the shop, which made James a little unhappy, thinking that the two of them were a little strange, if they only wanted to drink wine, then he might as well go to a bar.
James said respectfully: “Something has happened in the store today, we still have to stay for a meeting, I don’t know if you two can move away, if it is possible, I thank you on behalf of all the employees.”
However, one of them unexpectedly rejected him. “We are guests after all, and there are still twenty minutes until closing time. You can’t break the rules, right?”
Seeing that, Mike felt that there were too many oddities in the customers today, so he stepped forward angrily and said: “The two of you, the owner’s attitude is already very good, now it is 11: 40, the shop has nearly twenty employees waiting for a meeting to finish before returning home. If it was not for something happening in the shop today, the two of you would definitely not have made things difficult for them, since the wine has already been drunk, if the two of you still want to continue drinking, the bar next door will be yours.”
The two of them did not make any move. After a while, one of them said, “You guys thought that we were chased away because we finished drinking? Then why don’t you give us a bottle of the most expensive red wine? ”
Mike looked at the wine bottles on the table and laughed coldly: “I’m afraid the two of you cannot afford the most expensive wine here.”
Hearing Mike’s disdainful words, the man shook the necklace in his hand: “How much do you think this is worth?”
When James and Mike saw the necklace, their eyes went straight to the point.
Mike was puzzled: “Boss, how much is this necklace?”
James sized it up a little and said in a small voice: “There should be no problem to buy approximately five bottles of eighty-two year old red wine.”
Mike was shocked. Such two rich people, how could they order so many bottles of cheap red wine to drink?
James said: “You two, I am truly sorry, but there was too much offense just now, it was just that today, something happened in the shop, if you do not handle this well, it might close, would you two please forgive me?”
“It’s the matter of the council member throwing the necklace. Here, this is the necklace.”
Hearing that, James and Mike were completely stunned, what exactly did this mean? Did he say he lost the necklace and wanted the restaurant to close?
Mike was immediately angered. “So you are in cahoots with the councilors! You want to close our shop? Aren’t you guys looking down on us a little too much? ”
James stretched out his hand to stop Mike, “You two, can you explain just what happened? If the two of you insist on going against us, we will not sit still and wait for death. ”
The one holding the necklace said, “That representative is just a corrupt official. The necklace he gave to that woman was also bought with stolen money. We were just waiting for that woman to wear it before thinking of finding a way to get it. It just so happens to be in your shop tonight.”
Mike’s face was filled with disbelief: “You stole the necklace? I’ve seen all the surveillance cameras and there’s no time to do anything, unless you stole it in the ladies’ room. ”
The man sighed, pointed to the second corner of the restaurant towards the washroom and said, “That place is a dead end, your surveillance still needs to be improved.”
Hearing this, James and Mike were both stunned. The only place that couldn’t be seen in the shop was the corner of the mouth, and this matter was only known to James and Mike. The other employees didn’t know, and how did they find out?
James was puzzled: “It seems that you guys have come here many times, and have studied the cameras in the shop thoroughly.”
The man replied, “I’m sorry, but we’re not from here, and we’re only here once. But the culinary skills of your chef have surprised us. Although this is the most famous restaurant in downtown Sacramento, its culinary skills are no worse than any other restaurant on the streets of New York. The culinary skills of a chef are impressive.”
When Mike heard the two praising him, he felt rather comfortable in his heart. However, they were still completely unaware of the two’s motive.
James opened his mouth: “Since the matter is like this, then both of you name your prices, I am willing to buy this necklace and return it to representatives to settle this matter, if not our shop will truly close.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed: “Selling? We don’t sell. Naturally, your shop will not go out of business. However, we would like to drink a bottle of red wine from eighty-two years old. ”
Mike was excited: Not selling? What makes you think the store won’t go out of business? In that case, don’t blame us for being impolite. ”
The person holding the necklace smiled and said, “Look at how excited you are. Bring me a bottle of wine and I’ll tell you.”
Seeing that, James indicated for Mike to follow their orders. Mike brought two bottles of red wine from the kitchen and placed them on the table: “Can you explain it now?”
The man threw a folder on the table, then said to James: “These are the representative’s corrupt records, each stroke has a clear number of records. You all will deal with this anonymous member of the council tomorrow, he will naturally go to jail, and your problems will be solved.”
Mike suspiciously took the documents and handed them over to James. James opened the folder and found all the information on the representatives. They were like files, they had already used their positions to embezzle hundreds of thousands of dollars, which was enough for him to be imprisoned for more than ten years.
James instantly felt that the methods of the two in front of him were somewhat terrifying, and asked: “Who exactly are you two?”
The person holding the necklace laughed lightly: My name is Simple, the one facing you is my big brother Jian Xi, and as you can see, we are just thieves, not worth mentioning, so since your problem has been resolved, we shall take our leave, there is no need to open this bottle of wine, your chef’s skills are not bad, the shop will definitely not close, rest assured.
Mike stopped the two of them and said: “Is there any difference between robbing someone’s finances like you and those corrupt officials?”
So he said: “This world is not fair. Some people eat for a whole ten thousand dollars while some people don’t even eat for a single meal every three days. Although this society has always been a place where the strong preys on the weak, but everyone has the right to live, I am willing to help the weak get food, that’s all.”
“Then you guys will rob the rich just like that? Is it not against the law to do so? ” Mike still could not agree with their cooking.
Sighing, he said, “Please, we are not robbing the rich, we are robbing the corrupt officials. With the money they obtained through illegal channels, the government is going to turn a blind eye to them and not bring them to justice. We are acting on behalf of the Heavens. What’s wrong with that?”
Jian Xi looked at the silent James and said: “For example, Sir, other than this restaurant, the entire country has tens of millions of fixed assets, all obtained through his own efforts. Do you think we have ever touched him?”
When James heard the two people’s words, one side felt that the two had some skill, while the other side felt a chill down their backs.
