Police Station.
Xu Mo's statement about taking his team members out for a seafood feast wasn't loud, but since the police station wasn't large and it wasn't particularly noisy earlier, his words were overheard by the officers from other teams.
The officers from the other teams immediately felt a sense of injustice.
The difference in treatment was suddenly apparent!
When they joined the force, they didn't get to enjoy any seafood feasts. Forget about feasts, even getting a barbecue was considered a good treat.
Some officers even joined their teams during a case, working non-stop for days without even getting a barbecue. Instead of a feast, they were welcomed with endless work.
In an instant, the officers from other teams all looked expectantly at their respective team leaders, who, in unison, chose to pretend not to notice their gazes.
Eight or nine big men with big appetites together? Even a barbecue would cost a fortune, let alone seafood. With their monthly salary, where would they get the money to splurge?
Meanwhile.
Area for Team Seven.
Although Xu Mo had mentioned taking everyone out for seafood, the officers still considered Xu Mo's financial situation.
It wouldn't be good to let their new captain spend too much right away.
"Captain, let's skip the feast. It's too expensive. You've been here for a short time, and you haven't had a chance to dine with them before. You don't know how much these guys can eat. They're like bottomless pits, never satisfied..."
"Yeah, let's just go to the food stall. It's economical and the taste is pretty good. That's usually where we gather for meals."
"Or how about we go Dutch? That way, it won't cost much per person."
Xu Mo smiled and waved his hand: "What's the big deal about spending some money? Since you've joined Team Seven, you're all like brothers to me. What's a little money compared to having fun? Let's not even mention going Dutch. That would be embarrassing for me."
When it came to money, Xu Mo wasn't lacking. He was practically swimming in it! With tens of millions in his bank account, could he not afford to treat his team?
Team Seven was newly formed, and Xu Mo needed to build camaraderie and strengthen the team's cohesion. Spending money on a feast was the simplest and most direct method.
Seeing Xu Mo so insistent, the team members didn't argue further.
"Hehe, thanks, Captain."
"Captain is so generous!"
"Team Seven is the best! We get a feast right from the start!"
"I've been working in Ram City for so long, and I haven't had seafood a few times. This time, I'm in luck."
"..."
The officers of Team Seven surrounded Xu Mo like stars around the moon as they left the police station.
Under Xu Mo's lead, they drove to a high-end seafood restaurant.
The restaurant's standards were very high, and the patrons coming and going were all wealthy and well-dressed individuals who clearly stood out as affluent.
Xu Mo and his team's appearance stood out in comparison.
Although they were dressed decently, they were still a cut below the well-heeled patrons.
As a result, the server's attitude towards them was a bit perfunctory, with a forced smile on their face.
"Hello, how many of you are there?"
"Six."
"Alright, sir, this way please."
After being seated, the server brought over the menu and handed one to each of them: "Take a look and let me know what you'd like to order."
Upon glancing at the menu, the officers were stunned. A meal here wasn't cheap!
They exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
"Holy cow! A single soup costs several hundred? That money would be enough for us to eat until we can't move at the food stall!"
"I think I'm seeing things... can you check? The price for one king crab is two thousand? Did they accidentally add an extra zero? What kind of crab is that expensive? Made of gold?"
"Even Tang Monk's flesh isn't that pricey! Maybe we should leave. We can't let the captain spend so much."
"..."
Their discussion was quiet, but their shocked and wide-eyed expressions couldn't be hidden.
The server, although she didn't catch what they were saying, clearly saw their expressions.
She couldn't help but feel impatient. If they couldn't afford it, why come in? Wasn't this just wasting her time and her fake smile?
At that moment, after glancing at the menu, Xu Mo spoke up.
He spread the menu flat on the table and pointed at several items on it.
"This, this, and this..."
The server glanced and saw that Xu Mo had pointed to the cheapest items on the menu—soups and appetizers.
Who orders like this? Even if you're picking the cheapest items, there's a limit. Why order so many soups and appetizers?
It was obvious that Xu Mo was trying to save face by pretending to be generous, unable to afford the expensive dishes but too embarrassed to leave directly, so he symbolically ordered a bunch of the cheapest items.
The server couldn't help but prepare to remind him.
"Sir, the items you've chosen are mostly appetizers and soups. Maybe you'd like to..."
"And this... Forget the ones I just pointed out. Except for those, bring me one of everything else on the menu. That should be enough for now. We can order more if we need to... Oh, what did you say?"
Server: ???
"Excuse me, sir, did you just say... everything except the items you pointed out, bring one of each?" The server's expression changed dramatically, almost as if she thought her ears were playing tricks on her.
"Yes, except for the ones I pointed out, bring one of everything else." Xu Mo repeated his order: "Any problem?"
"No, no, no problem." The server kept shaking her head.
At this moment, her previous impatience and perfunctory attitude had completely disappeared, replaced by shock. Additionally, her face now showed a hint of flattery, as if she wanted to curry favor with Xu Mo.
She had never seen anyone order so extravagantly before. Ordering every single main dish except for appetizers and soups? How wealthy must he be?
The server straightened up, adopting the proper etiquette for serving guests, and slightly bent down, smiling: "Then, sir, do you have any other requests?"
"No." Xu Mo said: "But... I liked your previous attitude. You know, the one that was a bit arrogant. Can you go back to that?"
"..."
"Alright, sir."
