Yemo City, Huang Family Cuisine Grand Restaurant.
The luxurious banquet hall.
The many team members sat down. As usual, the first thing they did was lift the tablecloth and look underneath. Hundreds of eyes, like hundreds of radars with their alert levels maxed out, searched every inch of the restaurant.
Even the pebbles in the potted greenery at the corner were picked up and struck hard against the wall twice to confirm they were not disguised bugs.
The doors suddenly opened. Chefs in tall white hats pushed in food carts and served dishes to each table.
"Hey?! Who told you to start serving? Our leaders aren't here yet!" someone shouted anxiously.
"They're here, they're here!" came the voices of a man and a woman from the doorway.
Song He and Xiang Xiaotong then pushed in a mobile whiteboard, taking it all the way to the front of the restaurant.
A faint commotion immediately broke out. Everyone was far too familiar with this whiteboard. Whenever they held strategy meetings in the lab, they used this very board. Every time it was covered in writing, it meant the entire lab would be working until they dropped.
After pushing the whiteboard to the front, the master and apprentice did not write anything on it. Instead, they eagerly sat down, picked up their chopsticks, and started eating.
The moment the two leaders picked up their chopsticks, the celebration banquet began. Hundreds of pairs of chopsticks were raised and descended upon the dishes.
The chefs pushed their carts back and forth, busy serving every table.
As they ate, people gradually realized that something was off about the banquet dishes.
Puzzled voices rose one after another, and some people even began laughing strangely.
Scallion-dressed octopus, poached octopus, brined octopus, fried octopus, supreme octopus casserole...
