His gums were bleeding from where they were cut by the small stone,
but he dared not spit it out. How could he when someone from the
Inspection Department had eaten the food here?
Not to mention, he was the manager of the Life Department who was
responsible for cafeteria procurement.
The mashed potatoes were really dry, making it difficult to swallow.
The woman ced a full bowl of chowder in front of Arnauld and
said, “Mr. Schwartz, please enjoy.”
Ignoring the saltiness of the chowder, Arnauld lifted the rim of the
bowl to his lips and took huge gulps of the liquid with his eyes closed.
When he put down the bowl, the expression on his face was utterly
miserable. Was this chowder even meant for human consumption?
Nash sat upright and asked calmly, “Who established the rule abou
fines in the cafeteria?”
A slight tremor ran through Arnauld at that. His worst fear hade
true-the Inspection Department was indeed here to investigate him.
Putting down the bowl, Arnauld forced a fawning smile on his face as he replied, “It’s shameful to waste
food. Some pressure is necessary
to make sure they don’t do so!”
Nash nodded. “Continue eating for now.”
Arnauld did not seem to have noticed the severity of the situation yet, so it was time for Nash to deal
with him properly.
Chap 254
Arnauld looked embarrassed as he replied, “I’m not hungry. I really can’t eat anymore.”
An almost imperceptible smile crossed Frankie’s face as he said, ” That’s not what you said on the
phone just now. Are you trying to disrespect Mr. Calcraft?”
“No, no, I wouldn’t dare! I-I’ll eat…”
Arnauld stuttered with an awkward smile and continued to eat
heartily. It was obvious that Frankie and the new inspector were here
to cause trouble for him.
They might give him a pass if he copperated with them and behaved
well. If he offended them, however, the situation might not end so
easily.
By then, the second batch of employees were done with their shifts,
and those who knew Mr. Schwartz were surprised to see him eating. on the first floor. It kicked off
discussions among the young me
women.
“Hey, isn’t that Mr. Schwartz?”
“Who’s Mr. Schwartz?”
“He’s the manager of the Life Department. He’s in charge of the
cafeteria, dormitories, and living areas.”
“Why is he eating on the first floor with the regr staff?”
“He must be here to investigate the cafeteria food. Our tough days
are probablying to an end!”
“Wow, that’s great! My mother won’t have to worry about me not
getting enough nutrition anymore!”
Their voices were not loud, but Arnauld still heard them. He pretended
not to hear and continued to eat with a forced smile.
Nash sneered, “Mr. Schwartz, don’t you feel embarrassed hearing what they say? You’re the manager
of the Life Department, but you haven’t been responsible for thepany’s employees and even
exploited their meals. Yet, they still see you as a great person.”
Feeling remorseful, Arnauld said, “I only found out today that the staff meals are so unbearable. I’ll look
into thister and quickly improve the employees’ meals as well as abolish the cafeteria fine system!”
Nash and Frankie stared at Arnauld with deep gazes. If Frankie had not conducted his investigation,
they might have believed that it was
the work of Arnauld’s subordinates and not him.

However, based on what Frankie had found, Arnauld had embed.
over eight million annually in cafeteria procurement expenses.
Sensing a heavy pressure from the two of them, Arnauld narrowed
eyes and said, “You two don’t look like you trust me.”
Nash stood up slowly and calmly said, “Come to the Inspection Department for a visit once you’re
done.”
With that, he left with Frankie.
Arnauld watched their retreating figures, his expression turning
increasingly gloomy.
