The 99th floor, a chance encounter.
The 99th floor of the Funeralange Building was the restaurant on the highest floor of the tallest building in Linchong City. Not only could the diners on this floor enjoy all sorts of delicacies made by the world's top chefs, but they could also look down at the scenery and bustle of Linchong City through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the Funeralange Building. It gave the diners a sense of superiority.
The 77th to 88th floors of the Funeralange Building were filled with rooms. The higher you went, the more luxurious the rooms were. For example, the presidential suite that Tang Jin stayed in was the most luxurious and expensive room in Linchong City. Even if an ordinary working-class family worked hard for a year, they might not be able to pay for a single day of Tang Jin's stay in that room.
By the same logic, the dining in the Funeralange Building was the same. The 88th to 99th floors were all restaurants. The higher you went, the more luxurious they were. The restaurant on the 99th floor was not a place that ordinary people could enter. Those who could enter were not ordinary people either.
As for the 100th and 101st floors of the Funeralange Building, they were not open to the public. They were where the higher-ups of the Funeralange Building worked. It was said that the chairman of the Funeralange Building worked on the 101st floor. He had the entire Linchong City under his feet. His position at the peak of Linchong City was evident.
On the 99th floor, you could eat all the dishes you wanted. Funeralange Building gathered the best chefs from all over the world. It could basically satisfy the tastes of anyone from all over the world. There was nothing to be picky about.
Small white tables were densely packed on the vast 99th floor of the Funeralange Building. The distance between each table was extremely far, like a magnified roadside snack bar. However, the temperament of the diners and the environment of the Funeralange Building was not something that a roadside snack bar could compare to.
Actually, the 99th floor of Funeralange also had its own private rooms. However, the people who came to Funeralange to eat weren't just here to enjoy the delicious food, but also to enjoy the feeling. As they ate, they looked at the sky that seemed to be within reach, and looked down at the masses below. Therefore, the people who came to the 99th floor of Funeralange basically sat in the outermost hall. The seats near the large floor-to-ceiling windows were considered "thrones", and were the preferred seats for people.
If you came to the restaurant on the 99th floor of the Funeralange Building and saw a table of four women and two men having lunch together, and a pile of plates on the table in the middle of the six people, it was needless to say that it was Tang Jin's group..
"Oh, it's delicious, delicious." After finishing another plate of Morpheus curry beef, Xiao Yu picked up the ginseng yellow sauce that had been placed on the side and started eating. As she ate, she said, "This is really a good place. Although the spiritual energy is a little thin, the food is really fun, and the food is really delicious …"
Sun Xiaowen and the other three women were very restrained in the group. They only ate a little of the medium-rare beef, and did not even finish one-third of it. Tang Jin did not eat a single bite and gave it all to Xiao Yu. The situation now was that Tang Jin's group of five watched Xiao Yu eat alone.
When they first came out, Sun Xiaowen and the other three women were told by Tang Jin that Xiao Yu had a big appetite, but they did not expect her to eat so much. In just a short while, she had already eaten more than 30 plates of food, and the waiter had already come up to bring the plates three times. The last time the waiter came up to bring the plates and served the dishes again, he looked at them in horror. Is she still human? No matter how big her stomach is, she can't eat so much in one go, right?
Tang Jin just finished his glass of red wine and tasted it bit by bit, ignoring the surprised gazes of the people around him. In Tang Jin's heart, if his brother ate a little, then so be it. It must have been a long time since he let Xiao Yu eat. As for the gazes and feelings of others, what did it have to do with Tang Jin?
These two brothers were really two weirdos. One was so elegant that he was like a hereditary noble, and the other was so vulgar that people did not dare to compliment him. When the two of them sat together, it gave people a huge visual contrast. It was very strange, but no one would say anything.
The people around them were not ordinary people, and they all knew that Tang Jin and the others were not ordinary people. No one was crazy enough to find fault with them just because they ate a lot. Sun Xiaowen and the other three women knew how powerful Tang Jin was, so they did not dare to say anything. They just sat in their seats awkwardly, twisting slightly uneasily. They did not dare to make contact with Tang Jin and Xiao Yu and wandered aimlessly around the hall.
Suddenly, Tang Tiantian, who was sitting between Sun Xiaowen and Fan Xue, looked at a middle-aged bald man who had just stood up from the corner of the hall and looked like he was about to leave.
This middle-aged man looked to be about fifty years old. His face was square and angular, and he faintly revealed a trace of dignity. Beside him was a woman in her twenties, who was dressed very seductively. She was old enough to be his daughter, but the two of them did not look like father and daughter. They looked like … lovers.
Tang Tiantian saw the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man obviously also saw Tang Tiantian and the rest. After sweeping his gaze over the few of them, the middle-aged man smiled awkwardly. After saying something to the woman beside him, he hurriedly walked towards the direction of Tang Jin and the rest. As he walked, he raised his hand and waved, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to see all of you here. Haha, are you here for a meal?"
Nonsense! If they're not here to eat, then are they here to see you?
Glancing at Tang Jin, who acted as if he did not see the middle-aged man, and Xiao Yu, who was still working hard, Sun Xiaowen was afraid that Tang Jin would not like to be disturbed. She quickly stood up to greet the middle-aged man, blocking his path. She forced a smile and said, "So it's Patriarch Guo. I didn't expect to see you here. Why, are you here to eat with a friend?"
Patriarch Guo did not have a proper relationship with that woman. When Sun Xiaowen and the others bumped into him, they did not directly expose him. Instead, they only said that they were friends. This was considered to be giving Patriarch Guo some face.
Patriarch Guo's real name was Guo Baitu. He was the Patriarch of Linchong City's Commission for Discipline Inspection. He was in charge of investigating disciplinary issues in Linchong City and Linchong Province. He was a vice-ministerial official. Now, he was openly leading a mistress to the 99th floor of Funalange for a meal. As the Patriarch of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, his main task was to investigate disciplinary issues. Instead, he … This was like embezzlement. It would be fine if nothing happened, but if something happened, the punishment would definitely be several times worse than a normal official's!
It was not that Guo Baitu did not have any connections in the central government. He had connections, and they were very influential. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the Patriarch of a provincial capital's Commission for Discipline Inspection in his fifties. In Linchong City, Guo Baitu was also a tyrant. He was not afraid even if he walked around with a mistress. No one dared to report him, and no one could report him. However, it was different when he met Sun Xiaowen and the others …
Sun Xiaowen and the others were from the Origin Group. They were directly under the leadership of the country's top leaders. When they had a mission, they could be said to be one level higher than the officials. Hong Quan had once brought Sun Xiaowen and the others to Linchong City for a mission, so he had met Guo Baitu once. Now that Sun Xiaowen and the others had bumped into him, he was openly bringing his mistress out for a meal. If this was reported to the country, even if Guo Baitu did not die, he would be skinned alive.
However, Guo Baitu also knew that in the case of no conflict of interest, Sun Xiaowen and the others wouldn't do such a thing that didn't please them. He couldn't take this seriously, so Guo Baitu was just embarrassed. He didn't panic about being caught cheating.
"Yes, friends, friends." Guo Baitu laughed and gave Sun Xiaowen a 'you know what I mean' look. Then, he looked past Sun Xiaowen and swept his gaze over Fan Xue and the others. He nodded one by one. Finally, when he saw Tang Jin and Xiao Yu, he hesitated and looked at Sun Xiaowen. He whispered, "These two …?"
Guo Baitu had been in the bureaucracy for so many years, and he was still able to maintain his arrogance despite all the scheming and scheming. His IQ was naturally not low, and he could tell that Sun Xiaowen had stopped him because of Tang Jin and Little Yu. He could also tell that Sun Xiaowen treated Tang Jin and Little Yu differently, and was cautious around them. As such, he treated Tang Jin and Little Yu as leaders of the Source Team and wanted to befriend them.
Even an ordinary member of the Origin Group was an elite of the country. They were the focus of nurturing and were worth befriending. No one was willing to offend a member of the Origin Group, let alone a leader of the Origin Group. They needed to be courteous to him.
"Shh! — — "
However, before Guo Baitu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Sun Xiaowen. She turned around to look at Tang Jin and Xiao Yu with some apprehension. Sun Xiaowen heaved a sigh of relief when she realized that Tang Jin and Xiao Yu had not noticed them. Under Guo Baitu's confused and bewildered gaze, Sun Xiaowen shook her head and softly said, "Forget it. Just pretend that you didn't see us and we'll pretend that we didn't see you. These two … misters are not people you should know. The identities of these two misters belong to the government. The few of us were asked to stay here because the two misters are going to play in Linchong City for a while. We are just here to accompany them and help them. Just pretend that you didn't see us today. We can't reveal the misters' identities. Hurry up and leave. "
***？ The members of the Origin Group can only be considered as accompanying guests?
Guo Baitu's eyes were filled with shock. He glanced at Tang Jin and Xiao Yu again. He felt that there was a layer of fog around them, making it difficult for him to see clearly. Under Guo Baitu's shocked gaze, there was a hint of contemplation.
"Guo Baitu, if you encounter something that can help the mister in the future, it's your fortune if you can help. If not, don't force it. If you set your sights on the mister, Guo Baitu, you have to know that no one can protect you. In this world, no one can. " Sun Xiaowen seemed to have seen through Guo Baitu's plan. She shook her head and dispelled Guo Baitu's thoughts. Guo Baitu couldn't help but shudder.
When did such a terrifying person appear in the Origin Country?
Guo Baitu took one last look at Tang Jin and Xiao Yu and engraved their faces in his mind. He nodded fiercely, thanked Sun Xiaoyang, and left with his little lover.
After Guo Baitu left, Sun Xiaowen also let out a sigh of relief. She turned around and sat next to Tang Jin.
"That person is an official of the Origin Country?" All of a sudden, Tang Jin blurted out. Her indifferent gaze, which was on the sky outside the window, shifted to Sun Xiaowen.
"Ah?" Sun Xiaowen was shocked by Tang Jin's sudden question. She paused for a moment and quickly nodded. "Yes, by chance. We met once before. He's the Linchong City's Discipline Inspection Commission. He has some authority. "
"Oh."
Tang Jin once again shifted his gaze to the sky outside. He slowly mixed the wine in the exquisite glass in his hand and did not speak anymore. No one knew what he was thinking.
