Sheng Jiu had no intention of settling privately, she wanted everything done according to procedure.
So, late at night, the person in charge at Xing Yuan was also summoned to the police station.
Since it was Xing Yuan's manager who arranged the female diner's work, the owner didn't even need to appear.
Now, Sheng Jiu demanded that Xing Yuan follow the proper procedures and provide an explanation.
When Xing Yuan's manager arrived, he initially denied it, but faced with concrete evidence, he realized he couldn't deny it and started smiling and saying, "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
The restaurant manager claimed that it was all a personal grudge and did not involve Xing Yuan. He said that he felt that Restaurant Sheng Ji was an eyesore, so he had no choice but to send people to resort to underhanded means.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu…
Good heavens, he's directly absolving the boss of responsibility!
The final result was that the manager was criticized and educated, fined, and then apologized to Sheng Jiu.
Whether verbally or in writing.
He wouldn't mention Xing Yuan much.
Sheng Jiu knew that even if she went to court, the final outcome wouldn't affect Xing Yuan.
But could she just swallow this insult?
How could she?
She finished dealing with things here and went back home, it was already past midnight.
Unusually, she wasn't in a rush to sleep. Instead, she got together with Ares and wrote a promotional article. Then, through He Ling's connections, she got the other party to help contact several local marketing accounts and spread the word about the matter!
Sheng Jiu was upright and honest, so naturally she wasn't afraid of trouble.
As for Xing Yuan?
Whether it's afraid or not, Sheng Jiu doesn't care.
Marketing accounts don't talk nonsense, but they can play word games.
When the time comes, even if Xing Yuan investigates...
Hey, you're good at this, aren't you?
We are too~
Besides, we marketing accounts are much better at using all sorts of tricks than you!
Marketing accounts know exactly how to avoid risks.
If they didn't have these tricks, how could they have survived for so many years without being banned?
Ares had seen this kind of tactic before.
However, interstellar space doesn't have abundant food or restaurants, which is why he was confused when he saw the hair earlier.
Now, after watching the whole thing, he nodded: "Our surveillance isn't advanced enough. We'll make an audio version later."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu waved her hand and said, "It's not that bad. It's fine as it is now."
It was too late, and Ares didn't want to bother Sheng Jiu.
So, when Sheng Jiu said she was going to prepare a late-night snack, he stopped her.
After the two of them finished their work, they realized...
Oops!
Oh no.
They forgot again.
There's still Paul.
Luckily, there were two servings of noodles left, which Sheng Jiu cooked and also made a large portion of crab roe sauce for him, then mixed it all together.
Paul hadn't had anything good to eat for the past few meals.
Now, the moment the delicious flavor entered his mouth, his eyes widened in amazement.
However, his wide-open green eyes looked a little frightening.
"What...it's so delicious, waaaaah!" Paul exclaimed curiously as he chewed.
Ares didn't pay much attention. Seeing a gap in his mouth, he shoved the food in, saying, "Eat quickly, the Little Boss is going to sleep."
Paul: ?
So what?
You don't care whether I live or die?
Slow down, I can't chew this much!
After Paul finished eating, Ares quickly stuffed his mouth shut, then turned and went downstairs to clean.
Paul was still savoring the delicious flavor. He stared at Sheng Jiu with wide eyes, seemingly asking, "What was that? How could it smell so good?"
Sheng Jiu felt she understood Paul's meaning and kindly explained, "This is crab roe. Oh, right, it's the unreleased egg cells of the Frosty Water Magical Crab that you people talk about."
Paul: ?
I think I understood every word you said.
But how could the combined meaning be so explosive?
Was it what he understood it to mean?
Paul looked at Sheng Jiu in shock, seemingly seeking an explanation.
But Sheng Jiu ignored him and turned to wash up.
After washing, she went downstairs and quickly checked the accounts before coming upstairs with Ares.
Ares quickly carried Paul away, while Sheng Jiu tidied up and went to bed.
She had already drunk the Interstellar Dates Tea before showering.
Now it was perfect for her to go to bed.
After Sheng Jiu fell asleep, the local marketing accounts that had received the assignments began to act.
The articles are all ready-made, they just need to make a few minor modifications and adjust the order of the pictures, and then they can get started!
In the dead of night, when internet traffic is at its peak, how could they possibly sleep?
Get to work!
Sheng Jiu provided photos of the Restaurant Xing Yuan's manager entering and leaving the police station, including photos of two diners whose identities at Xing Yuan were also revealed.
The woman was a receptionist, currently aiming for a supervisor position, the man was a kitchen helper, an intern preparing for full-time employment.
Photos of them at work, photos of them eating at the restaurant, photos of them leaving the police station.
Of course, their faces were obscured, and their names were all similar, like Li X Yun and Zhao X Qiang.
But for acquaintances, even a glimpse of their clothes and a name are enough to recognize them!
While Sheng Jiu was sound asleep, marketing accounts had already spread the news about tonight all over the internet.
Of course, this was limited to local attention or recommendations.
Those diners who had previously witnessed the spectacle also posted numerous videos and pictures, further fueling the hype and increasing the event's popularity.
Meanwhile, Ares, with his team and the bait Paul, first tried to harass the Exploding Lotus Seeds, only to be frozen for half a day and only managing to get 10 seeds.
Then, the Exploding Lotus Seeds ignored them.
Ares and his group had no choice but to give up on this and instead went to harass Green Vine Ginseng.
After harvesting two root ginseng roots, they finally went to fight the Frosty Water Black Shrimp.
The next day, Sheng Jiu got up early.
She went to wash up first, then changed her clothes.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Ares and the others brought in the ingredients first.
Three Frosty Water Black Shrimp, the semi-processed kind, requiring further processing by the system.
Two roots of Green Vine Ginseng and 10 Exploding Lotus Seeds.
Although the quantity was small, but they were all life-saving items. Sheng Jiu instructed the system to keep them safe and make ginseng and lotus seed tea according to the ratio.
Four buckets of wild scallions were brought in.
Sheng Jiu: …
These were just for seasoning, she didn't actually need that many.
But they were all good stuff, and it was impossible for her to throw them away.
Moreover, she kneaded the dough last night, and it's probably risen by now.
She'll go to the market later to pick out a good piece of meat, and when she comes back, she'll make pork and scallion xiaolongbao!
After handing over all the ingredients to the system, Sheng Jiu tidied up and prepared to go downstairs.
Ares, having just finished washing up, was worried and wanted to accompany Sheng Jiu to the market: "That restaurant owner isn't a good person. What if he tries to frame you but fails, and then attempts assassination?"
In their interstellar world, such methods are common.
Sheng Jiu: ?
Huh?
