Sheng Jiu wouldn't casually question the hygiene of the food in her shop.
One reason is her own strict standards.
The other is the system.
The system does not allow contaminated food to be served to customers, as this would result in a poor dining experience.
Therefore, if hair or other debris falls into the food where Sheng Jiu wasn't looking, the system will promptly alert her, regardless of whether she or the staff didn't notice.
When Sheng Jiu heard the noise, she had already asked the system.
She received confirmation from the system.
From the ingredients to the cooking process and finally to the table, it ensured there were no foreign objects present.
Therefore, Sheng Jiu could be certain that the other party had most likely come with ulterior motives.
For this reason, Sheng Jiu stood up straight!
Once the surveillance camera was turned on, other diners curiously gathered around.
The diner who complained about the hair in the noodles was now in a bit of a predicament.
Although she had intentionally avoided the cameras, but…
She wasn't sure if her little actions had been captured on camera.
The woman felt a little guilty, but tried her best to appear less so.
The restaurant's cameras, a newbie perk of the food system, had exceptionally high resolution.
Whether it's the ingredients in the kitchen or the diners in front.
Every single shot was incredibly clear, almost capturing the lines on a person's face.
Therefore, whether there was hair or not, it could all be seen clearly.
This included…
The woman's little actions that she thought were very discreet.
The woman didn't even notice that there was a camera on the ceiling opposite her table, blending in with the decorations and impossible to spot without close inspection!
Of course, the woman was unwilling to admit her underhanded actions.
So after watching the surveillance footage, and seeing Sheng Jiu's questioning gaze and the other diners' amused expressions, the woman, without any sense of reason, said confidently, "Who knows if there was hair in the ingredients? Anyway, there's hair in the noodles now, so you figure out how to deal with it."
Seeing that the woman was determined to make trouble, Sheng Jiu nodded: "Alright, let's call the police. With today's advanced technology, I think this hair still has a follicle, so we should be able to get DNA from it."
At this point, Sheng Jiu turned to the other diners with a smile: "Our shop has strict requirements for the safety and hygiene of our ingredients, so please rest assured."
After saying that, she turned to Ares and said, "Please take my phone and call the police."
Upon hearing that there was still hair follicle in the hair, the woman panicked. Then, upon hearing that Sheng Jiu was truly fearless and would call the police without hesitation, she became even more flustered.
She tried her best not to appear too flustered, but her voice still trembled as she spoke: "Never mind, it's not a big deal. If you don't want to admit it, then so be it."
She wanted to use this to avoid the matter, but Sheng Jiu was unwilling to carry this burden.
So, Sheng Jiu nodded slightly: "Excuse me, diner, if it's there, it's there; if it's not, it's not. Our shop guarantees hygiene, and naturally, we don't want to be unfairly accused. We'll definitely be calling the police today!"
At this moment, Sheng Jiu's attitude was firm, and the diner's attitudes clearly showed her guilty conscience.
The other diners weren't stupid, they could easily see through it.
This was an attempt to frame someone, but it backfired.
The diners, having figured it out, looked at the couple with a meaningful gaze.
The man silently lowered his head, still managing to shovel a few more mouthfuls of millet porridge.
He didn't utter a single word, infuriating the woman!
Since there weren't many ingredients left, Sheng Jiu thought she could make a late-night snack for Ares and the others.
So, that's it for today's business.
Sheng Jiu said she wanted to call the police, and she immediately did so.
During the process, the woman said that she was just saying it casually, may be she was mistaken, or may be it might just be her own hair that had fallen out.
Anyway, she didn't want Sheng Jiu to call the police.
However, no matter what they said, Sheng Jiu remained resolute.
Because, upon approaching the two diners, the system uttered a single sentence.
[I can smell the scent of your competitors on them.]
Upon hearing this, Sheng Jiu understood.
Is this some nearby shop that's jealous and deliberately trying to mess with her?
In that case, she was even less afraid!
If Sheng Jiu backed down today, who knew what dirty tricks they would use later?
Sheng Jiu had to let them know!
She was truly fearless!
Don't underestimate her just because she's a young girl, if they really came for her, she really dared to fight!
Like her little aunt, if she's not happy, she'll fight back.
Sheng Jiu eventually called the police. The diners tried to leave, but with Ares standing there, who dared to move?
When he wasn't smiling, he really looked like a villain who would eat children.
Ares: ?
The police arrived quickly. They first asked about the situation and learned it was a hygiene issue.
At first, they thought Sheng Jiu was making excuses, but after reviewing the surveillance footage, they fell silent.
The police initially wanted to mediate, hoping everyone could settle privately.
It wasn't a big deal to begin with.
However, Sheng Jiu resolutely refused to take the blame and insisted on going through the proper procedures, even getting her hair tested.
In the end, Sheng Jiu firmly stated, "Whose hair is it? If it's mine, I'm willing to compensate the diners ten times the cost of their meal. If it's not mine, please have the diners write an apology letter and post it on my restaurant's door to clear my restaurant's name!"
The diners were panicked, they even called people to bail them out.
Unfortunately, their boss doesn't dare to come yet.
When they saw this, they understood perfectly well.
They messed up, and the boss is ready to give up on them!
They tried calling several times but no one answered, and they didn't reply to their WeChat messages either. They even tried sending messages on their company's internal DD account, and they were even kicked out of the group.
The female diner immediately became angry: "Fine, fine, fine, so this is how you play it!"
The abandoned female diner immediately confessed: "No need to verify, this hair belongs to our boss's wife. The length and color of her hair are very similar to the hair of the owner of Restaurant Sheng Ji, so I brought her hair with me. I confess directly that we came from Restaurant Xing Yuan, specifically to frame Restaurant Sheng Ji. I have corresponding chat records, payment records, and chat recordings."
This wasn't the first time the female diner had done something like this.
She wasn't a novice in society, she had been careful and kept all her records.
She thought, if she couldn't escape, the mastermind wouldn't be able to escape either!
With the system's reminder and Sheng Jiu's own experience, she had already guessed that the two diners were probably just pawns, and the real masterminds had not shown themselves yet.
Now that they've revealed themselves, Sheng Jiu immediately knows who the target is.
The police were surprised, the case was solved so quickly?
Moreover, this wasn't the first time Restaurant Xing Yuan had done something like this.
They had handled similar cases before.
However, because the offenses are not serious, in many cases, they are simply fined and that's the end of it.
In the current situation, the offense isn't serious. Even if Sheng Jiu takes the legal route, Xing Yuan won't be significantly affected, at most, they'll receive a warning and a fine.
Sheng Jiu also knew that she probably couldn't do anything to the other party.
Because, in the current situation, Xing Yuan will at most be charged with instigation, and the consequences aren't serious, no harm has been caused.
However, making the other party famous is still an option.
