Seafood restaurant.

When Wang Yayue, dressed in a long black dress and sparkly high heels, entered the restaurant, all eyes were drawn to her.

She has a tall and shapely figure, and her slender legs are captivating. At the same time, the sparkling high heels at her ankles accentuate her exquisite feet, giving her an outstanding temperament and image.

Seeing this, Director Bai chuckled like a matchmaker and reminded him, "Xiao Guan, what are you standing there for? Go and greet Officer Wang. In a way, Officer Wang is here to provide guidance on behalf of the Municipal Bureau."

Seeing this, Guan Feng stepped forward and came to Wang Yayue's side, smiling as he said, "Why are you dressed so beautifully today?"

Wang Yayue gently smoothed her hair and asked with a smile, "Really? This is what I usually wear to and from get off work. I came in a hurry and didn't have time to change."

Guan Feng looked at the brand-new long dress that was clearly unwashed, but didn't expose it. He laughed and said, "Didn't you see? Ever since you came in, everyone's eyes have been on you. Come in with me quickly. If they keep staring at you, I'm afraid something might happen, and that would be troublesome."

Wang Yayue chuckled and followed Guan Feng to her seat.

Huang Lili said, "Sis, why did you change your clothes? I've never seen you wear these before."

Wang Yayue: "???"

Guan Feng: "???"

Wang Ya Yue's smile froze. She glanced at Guan Feng, and seeing that he didn't react, she forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? This dress is usually kept in the office and I don't wear it much. I was just thinking that it would be cooler to wear a skirt when we came out to eat."

Huang Lili said, "Oh, I knew it! I thought you deliberately wore this outfit to show off to our captain."

Wang Yayue: "???"

Her pretty face immediately flushed red, and she shook her head, saying, "Lily, don't talk nonsense."

Seeing this, Director Bai joked, "Xiao Guan, there's nothing to do here. Why don't you accompany Wang Ya Yue to get the food? It's all buffet style. See what you like to eat. Since we're here, we should eat our money's worth, otherwise we'll let Wang Xun down."

Wang Xun nodded and said, "That's right! Officer Wang, please don't be so polite. Captain Guan often mentions you to us."

Wang Yayue glanced at Guan Feng and asked, "Really? What did he say about me?"

Wang Xun had only casually mentioned it to get closer to her, but after Wang Ya Yue asked him this, he could only bite the bullet and make up a story: "Our captain said that you usually have very healthy eating habits, maintain a good figure, and have a generous personality, which is rare. In short, he praised you in all sorts of ways. I've never seen the captain praise anyone like that before."

Wang Yayue's eyes held an irrepressible smile as she looked at Guan Feng and said, "Is that so? I've never heard you mention that before?"

Wang Xun laughed and said, "Officer Wang, that's not true. Even if Captain Guan has a thick skin, he'll only praise you behind your back."

Wang Yayue smiled sweetly and looked at Guan Feng beside her, asking, "Let's go get our food."

Guan Feng followed.

The two began selecting food.

I don’t know if it was just my imagination, but this time Wang Yayue was noticeably gentler than the previous two times. She even took the initiative to pick up an oyster for Guan Feng and reminded him, “Oysters are high in protein. High-temperature sterilization will eliminate any microorganisms. Eat more of them; they will enhance your male strength.”

Guan Feng said with a wry smile, "There's nowhere to vent my frustration. How about Officer Wang helps me out?"

Wang Yayue blushed, glanced around, and spat, "You're so unprofessional!"

Guan Feng said seriously, "I meant we should go lift weights after dinner. What are you thinking, Officer Wang?"

Wang Yayue: "???"

She blushed deeply and became so angry that she stopped talking to Guan Feng.

Guan Feng just laughed it off.

Anyway!

The fact that the woman can continue to laugh along after such a joke speaks volumes about her attitude.

It's 6:30 p.m.

The banquet began on time.

Wang Xun brought his family, Guan Feng brought Wang Ya Yue, and Xiang Dongsheng and others all came alone.

Director Bai spoke first, congratulating the entire second team on their efficiency in solving cases over the past period, and hoping that everyone would continue their efforts to win the title of outstanding team for the month again.

Director Bai also specifically reminded everyone: "This month's outstanding team should have been yours. In terms of case-solving rate and workload, you are the best among all the teams. However, according to our bureau's system, it will be much more difficult to win the award again. Everyone needs to work even harder."

"However, as I mentioned at the criminal investigation team meeting a couple of days ago, the difficulty of winning again has increased, so the bonus will also increase accordingly, 1,500 yuan per person. Everyone, please give it your all."

Everyone became excited upon hearing this.

Li Xiangdong said, "That's great! 1,500? That's more than double 800. We can come and eat a few more pots of oysters whenever we want."

Wang Xun said, "Thank you, Director Bai, for working for the benefit of everyone. I propose a toast to Director Bai."

The group offered tea instead of wine to Bai Ju.

Director Bai raised his glass and drank it down with everyone. He then said, "Today is your promotion banquet, Wang Xun. Didn't you see that Lao Zheng and Xiao Guan are sitting on both sides? Wang Xun, you have to say a few words."

Wang Xun raised his glass to express his gratitude to Director Bai, Captain Zheng, and Captain Guan for their trust in the organization. He stated that under their guidance and with the leadership of Captain Guan Feng, the team leader, he would lead the second team to achieve even greater success and strive to raise the case-solving rate to a new level.

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

8:30 p.m.

Everyone had their fill of tea and food.

Wang Xun went downstairs to pay the bill.

Guan Feng then escorted the two women home.

......

The Huang family.

Director Huang and his mother were chatting on the sofa.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Mrs. Huang asked with some concern, "Old Huang, something's not right. Neither of our daughters came out for dinner. They said they were going out for a get-together. Do you think they're hiding something from me?"
