Chapter 63 Confrontation
"Little words."
"I'll need your help tomorrow."
"Of course! This is what I should do!" Lin Muci agreed without hesitation.
Gu Chaoyu looked at him and said, "I need you to transform into a cat."
"Tomorrow, I will sit in an inconspicuous corner of the restaurant as a diner."
"Then use mind reading to discern the true intentions of those inspectors and confront them head-on."
"And you will be responsible for the most important 'secret sentry' work."
"You need to keep a close eye on every 'customer' who enters the store and find the person who is trying to frame you!"
Lin Muci nodded heavily.
【clear! 】
【Orange Cat Detective, mission accomplished!】
…
Early the next morning.
The atmosphere at the Lin Family Restaurant is particularly solemn.
Lin Jianguo and Su Wan followed Gu Chaoyu's instructions and opened for business as usual, but their expressions were no longer as relaxed as usual.
Gu Chaoyu was wearing an inconspicuous casual outfit and a baseball cap. He sat in the corner, ordered a pot of tea, and waited quietly.
Lin Xiaomao, who had already transformed, jumped onto the cabinet used to store miscellaneous items by the door with ease. He found a comfortable position, put his paws in his tucked-in clothes, squinted his eyes lazily, and began to take a nap.
Ten o'clock in the morning sharp.
Three groups of people wearing different uniforms arrived at the restaurant at the same time.
The leading few people had stern faces, holding notebooks and various instruments in their hands. As soon as they entered the room, they spread out and began to conduct a nitpicking inspection.
"Boss, come here! There's too much dust in the ventilation ducts here! It doesn't meet hygiene standards!"
"The pressure on this fire extinguisher doesn't look right! How long has it been since it was inspected?"
"The raw and cooked ingredients in the kitchen aren't separated. Don't you know this? This is a serious violation!"
Gu Chaoyu held the cup of tea that had already gone cold, and his eyes from under his baseball cap were fixed on the food safety chief who was shouting the loudest.
The other party was pointing at the spotless corner of the kitchen with saliva flying.
"Here! And here! There are blind spots in the hygiene department! How can you let customers feel at ease with such sanitary conditions?"
However, what Gu Chaoyu heard was a different voice.
[Damn! How come this crappy place is so clean, like it was just renovated!]
[I can't even find a clue! I can't find any real problem at all!]
[I took so much money from Director Gu, and if I can't deliver, how am I going to explain myself when I get back?]
[No, never mind! I have to find a random reason to ban him first!]
really.
The section chief cleared his throat, picked up a pen, and made a gesture to issue a "suspension of business for rectification" notice.
"In view of your multiple violations, we have decided..."
"Wait a moment."
Gu Chaoyu put down the teacup, stood up and walked over.
He took off his baseball cap, revealing a handsome and cool face.
"Thank you for your hard work, inspectors."
He nodded politely at first, then changed the subject.
"Regarding the dust accumulation in the ventilation ducts you just mentioned, according to Section 4.1.3 of the 'Food Safety Operation Code for Catering Services,' regular cleaning is required. We just had a professional company perform a deep cleaning last Sunday. The invoice and records are here. Would you like to see them?"
The industrial and commercial staff was stunned.
Gu Chaoyu turned to the firefighter again.
"Regarding the fire extinguisher pressure issue you mentioned, the pressure gauge pointer on this dry powder fire extinguisher is normal as long as it's in the green zone. All fire extinguishers in our store are within normal range, and we have maintenance records every quarter. According to Article 21 of the Fire Protection Law, we are in full compliance with regulations."
The young firefighter blushed and was speechless.
Finally, Gu Chaoyu's gaze fell on the food safety chief, whose expression became increasingly unsightly.
"As for your claim that raw and cooked ingredients aren't stored separately, that's completely nonsense."
He pointed to a row of brand new stainless steel freezers in the back kitchen.
"Our kitchen strictly follows regulations and has three separate freezers for raw meat, cooked food, and vegetables, all clearly labeled. What you just saw was the food our store manager, Lin Jianguo, had just bought from the market and was preparing to cook. It was just temporarily placed on the counter."
"Article 35 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Food Safety Law clearly stipulates the requirements for food storage. Please specify which article we are not in compliance with."
Every time he spoke, he took a step forward.
The logic is clear, the voice is not loud, but every word carries a lot of weight.
Several inspectors who were originally aggressive were defeated and speechless after hearing his professional statement.
They looked at each other, beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads.
[Who is this guy?! How does he know so much?!]
[Fuck, more professional than us professionals! ]
[This hits a wall...]
at the same time.
Lin Xiaomao, squatting on the cabinet, fixed his eyes on a yellow-haired man who was sitting by the window and dressed in a gangster style.
From the moment the inspectors came in, the man hardly moved his chopsticks, his eyes darting around furtively.
It's him!
Lin Xiaomiao scratched the cabinet nervously with its cat paws.
[Brother Xiaoyu has held back those officials. I have to keep an eye on this!]
The yellow-haired man took advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was drawn to Gu Chaoyu and quietly looked around.
When he saw Lin's mother Su Wan turned around to add tea to another table, his hand quickly reached into his trouser pocket.
A black object was pinched between his fingertips.
It's a dead cockroach!
[Fuck! Disgusting!]
【He's about to take action! 】
The yellow-haired man flicked the dead cockroach gently into the bowl of pork rib soup in front of him.
After doing this, he was about to stand up and yell at the top of his lungs—
"Boss! There are cockroaches in your soup—"
It happened in the blink of an eye!
“Meow——!!!”
Lin Xiaomiao kicked her hind legs hard, jumped down from the cabinet, and "crashed" straight into the yellow-haired man's dining table!
"Bang!"
The yellow-haired man was frightened by the fat cat that fell from the sky. His hand shook and the water glass on the table fell over.
"ah--!"
The scalding hot tea spilled right onto his thigh!
The man let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
However, the chaos has just begun.
Lin Xiaomiao was "struggling" in panic on the table, its big furry tail swinging wildly in the air.
Then, "inadvertently", sweep accurately!
“Pah!”
The bowl of pork rib soup that had just been added with "powerful ingredients" was swept to the ground.
The soup splashed everywhere and the porcelain bowl broke into pieces.
The evil dead cockroach disappeared among a pile of ribs and broken porcelain pieces.
"My soup! My legs!"
The yellow-haired man was angry and anxious. He covered his red thigh and was about to point at the orange cat that "caused the accident" and curse.
A hand pressed his shoulder.
Gu Chaoyu had walked over at some point and was looking down at him.
