Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 24 The dust has settled
"Well, don't worry, I won't spread it."

Du Shaojie made a guarantee immediately. He knew very well where Qi Yan got her information from, so he would naturally not cause trouble for others.

Qi Yan then walked out and continued to tutor Xiaomei.

It was not easy for Qi Yan. She could not remember some of the knowledge she had learned in junior high school, so she had to find time to look through the books. But it was also good, as she could review the basic knowledge herself.

After Qi Yan finished explaining the question to Xiaomei, Du Shaojie and she walked out together.

Not long after walking out, he first met Su Dapeng, and then he met Liang Meiqin.

"Eh? What day is today? What a coincidence that we meet each other."

"It's not a coincidence. I came here specifically to see you. Shaojie, Yanzi, and Meiqin, come to my house and sit for a while. If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."

Su Dapeng winked at the three of them, and since they had nothing to do, they went to his house together.

"Shaojie, Li Heizi was arrested today. It is said that he is related to a murder case. I was thinking that Dai Jianguo wanted to retaliate against you before. Li Heizi and the three thugs were involved in this matter. Will it affect you?"

Qi Yan, Liang Meiqin and Su Dapeng all knew about the conflict between Du Shaojie and the uncle and nephew of the Dai family, as well as a series of subsequent events.

I thought the matter was over, but one of the three guys died and two ran away.

Afterwards, Du Shaojie, Dai Jianguo and Li Heizi were all called to the station for questioning. Now that Li Heizi was arrested again, Su Dapeng began to feel uneasy.

"It has no impact on me at all."

Du Shaojie stepped forward and punched Su Dapeng. To be honest, this childhood friend was really nice. He could feel the other party's genuine concern.

"I didn't say it had anything to do with you, I just wanted to let you know."

Su Dapeng took two steps back and subconsciously rubbed the place where he was hit by Du Shaojie's fist.

Even though he is 1 meters tall and looks strong with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is far inferior to Du Shaojie in strength.

Generally speaking, chefs have strong arms, waists and legs, and Du Shaojie also likes to play with dumbbells. The pair of iron lumps in his yard were made for him by Su Dapeng.

"Shaojie, you still can't let your guard down. Some dogs will bite people randomly. I'll ask someone next time I have a chance. I hope they can close the case sooner."

Qi Yan understood some of the tricks here. She felt that Su Dapeng's reminder was very necessary. After all, it is always a good idea to be more careful.

Du Shaojie knew that they all had good intentions, so he nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know the severity of the situation."

Liang Meiqin remained silent. Since she couldn't help with this matter, it was best for her not to make things worse.

The four of them chatted for a while and then left early.

When they parted, Liang Meiqin looked at Du Shaojie and hesitated to speak. She had calculated the time and estimated that Qi Yan had left Du Shaojie's house, so she planned to talk to Du Shaojie alone.

It’s not that she needed to carry someone on her own, she simply liked the feeling of chatting with the other person alone.

But it is not a good idea to go to the other person's house now. Feeling a little regretful, he let Qi Yan pull him away slowly.

The next day.

As usual, Du Shaojie helped Liao Yongxin. He was responsible for cutting vegetables and preparing condiments, while Liao Yongxin was responsible for stir-frying.

"Xiao Du, have you seen that the uncle and nephew of the Dai family have been acting like they have lost their souls these past few days? They are all listless and have no energy at all."

Liao Yongxin looked around and saw that there was no one around, and said with a smile.

Du Shaojie also discovered this problem. These days, Dai Tong's behavior was particularly abnormal. He wondered if he had encountered any difficulties.

As the two were talking, an officer from the Security Department walked into the cafeteria accompanied by several people in uniform.

"Dai Tong, Dai Jianguo, come here, these comrades have something to ask." At this time, the uncle and nephew of the Dai family were in the back hall. Hearing this, Dai Jianguo looked confused, while Dai Tong was like a bereaved mother, and his whole body began to tremble, and the shaking became more and more severe.

Everyone in the cafeteria stopped what they were doing and watched this scene quietly.

Afterwards, the uncle and nephew of the Dai family were taken away. The quiet back hall suddenly became noisy and everyone couldn't help but talk.

"Is this a crime? Tsk tsk. Alright everyone, do what you need to do, but don't delay today's lunch."

Liao Yongxin stood up and shouted, and then everyone continued to work.

Du Shaojie was thoughtful, thinking, could that case really be related to the uncle and nephew of the Dai family? No wonder Dai Tong didn't bother to find trouble with him for a long time, maybe he had something to hide?

News about the unit spread quickly, and by lunchtime, everyone was talking about Dai Tong and Dai Jianguo.

It is said that Director Wu was so angry that he didn't even eat and even smashed his cup in the office.

Du Shaojie did not pay too much attention to the follow-up of this matter. When he was free, he would occasionally ask Liao Yongxin for some cooking tips.

Liao Yongxin told him everything he knew, and the two of them got along more and more harmoniously.

"Xiao Du, it's a pity that you haven't been promoted yet, otherwise you would have a chance to compete for the administrator position. Look at how active those two guys have been recently, they must have some ideas."

As the days passed, rumors came out that the General Affairs Department would re-select the canteen manager.

Looking at the "Second Chef" and "Third Chef" who were working like crazy all day long, Liao Yongxin made a joke with Du Shaojie.

"Master Liao, please don't blame me first. In fact, you have the best chance. Why don't you try to win?"

Du Shaojie had no idea about the position of administrator. His goal was clear, which was to hone his skills and wait for the right opportunity. There would always be a day when he could show his talents.

So when he heard Liao Yongxin's words, he smiled and asked back.

"What's so good about that crappy position? It's not as free and easy as being the chef in the kitchen."

There is something hidden in Liao Yongxin's words. Being an administrator is both a "fat job" and a job that invites trouble.

He was actually giving Du Shaojie some advice, but he was just being more subtle.

Du Shaojie smiled but said nothing. If he was just a young man, he might not understand the interests involved, but he was not.

With his rich life experience, he has seen through everything, and having a skill is better than anything else.

When I got home in the evening, Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin were both there.

One of them tutors Xiaomei in her studies, while the other helps Xiaoya with her homework. They are more attentive than any other teacher in school.

When the two left, Du Shaojie went out to see them home as usual.

On the way, Qi Yan told Du Shaojie the gossip she had heard, which helped him roughly understand the whole story of the case.

The three thugs didn't end up well at Du Shaojie's hands. They were three against one and ended up being killed by the other. Dai Jianguo was naturally not satisfied, so he did not fulfill the subsequent benefits he promised to give the three guys.

One of the hooligans, the one who was knocked to the ground by Du Shaojie, was not convinced and targeted Dai Jianguo's uncle Dai Tong. He heard that Dai Tong was the canteen manager of a large unit, so he wanted to get back at him.

He never told his two accomplices about this, but his true colors were exposed after he succeeded.

The two accomplices took advantage of the situation and killed the guy during the fight. They were very scared afterwards, so they took away all the deceased's belongings and fled.

After being caught, they refused to admit anything, but later the police found the key evidence and the two guys could no longer deny it, so they confessed everything.
