Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 25 Is there such a good thing?
"It was because the two guys pointed out Dai Tong that they arrested him. However, I heard that Dai Tong has always said that he was framed by the two and that he did not have a lot of property. Relevant personnel also went to Dai Tong's home to search, but found nothing."

This case was full of twists and turns, and when Qi Yan was telling the story, Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin listened to it as a story.

There is also a key figure who is the middleman, Li Heizi, who has nothing to do with this case. However, he confessed that he stole and sold the factory's materials, and it is estimated that he will not be released for several years.

It's hard to say what's wrong with Dai Jianguo. If no problems are found, he will probably be released soon. If problems are found, he will probably have to stay in prison for two years.

Now, the whole case has become clear, with only one key issue left to be resolved:
Did the stolen property of the deceased gangster belong to Dai Tong? If so, where did Dai Tong get all that property?
"Wait a moment."

At this point, a scene suddenly flashed through Du Shaojie's mind.

Last spring, he went to Lihua Street to look for someone, and saw Dai Tong in a remote alley. Dai Tong was wearing a peaked cap and sneaked into a yard.

Because Du Shaojie had a deep conflict with the other party, he deliberately hid his figure at that time.

Out of curiosity, Dai Tong deliberately passed by the gate of the courtyard after he entered. This incident had been buried in his subconscious until today when he recalled it clearly.

"What's wrong, Shaojie?"

Qi Yan and Liang Meiqin felt a little strange. They were walking just fine, why did they suddenly stop?
Moreover, Du Shaojie's behavior is also abnormal. Who would pull his hair for no reason?

"Don't argue yet, let me think about it. If the gangster didn't lie, and there is no clue in Dai Tong's house, there is only one possibility, Dai Tong may have a secret house somewhere else."

"No. 73, South Second Lane, Lihua Street. You can check it out."

Du Shaojie said to himself. Before Liang Meiqin could react, Qi Yan's eyes widened.

She realized the importance of this clue. It was hard to tell whether it was true or not, but what if it was true?

"Shaojie, Miqin, you two should go somewhere with me."

Qi Yan was also a decisive person. She immediately took Du Shaojie and Liang Meiqin to find her brother's classmates.

That night, a large group of uniformed men broke into No. 73, South Second Lane, Lihua Street. Unfortunately, the property in the house had been moved away, leaving only a small amount of supplies.

However, through on-site investigation, a large number of valuable clues were found.

the next day.

The investigation team arrived at the canteen of the Heavy Industry Bureau and began to check the accounts of warehouse inflow and outflow over the years.

As soon as the audit began, Lao Cai was scared to death and went straight to the investigation team to confess the fact that he was involved in the theft and sale of grain, cooking oil and other supplies from the canteen with the help of Dai Tong and Dai Jianguo.

This certainly confirmed Dai Tong's guilt, but based on the clues obtained at No. 73, South Second Lane, Lihua Street, these facts are just the tip of the iceberg.

But the subsequent investigation ran into a dilemma again. Dai Tong refused to speak, and based on the problems found in the cafeteria, his crime was not serious.

I guess I'll be able to get out after staying in there for a few years.

The case was shelved, the investigation team was disbanded, and the two thugs who committed the murder were shot shortly afterwards.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't realize that Lao Cai, such an honest man, actually got on Dai Tong's pirate ship."

Liao Yongxin was very emotional. He had a good relationship with Lao Cai, but he didn't expect that the other party was such a person. Du Shaojie was not surprised. In the era of material scarcity, some people would take risks.

"Master Liao, shall I stir-fry the shredded potatoes for lunch?"

He lived a very comfortable life during this period. Although the family's financial situation did not improve significantly, he could eat meat from time to time, so at least he did not deprive himself and his family.

There isn’t much in it, so it’s fine once you eat it, but it’s impossible to cash it in.

The lesson from the past was still there, so Du Shaojie couldn't help but be more cautious.

"Okay, you cook it. Damn it, other people have to go through eighteen stages to learn a skill, but you can conquer the world with just one plate of shredded potatoes."

Liao Yongxin couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard about shredded potatoes. The two months after the New Year were the most lean time of the year. Even he couldn't get any work, so how could Du Shaojie have the opportunity to train?
The cafeteria still has the same old three things: potatoes, cabbage and radishes, with occasional meat. There are no serious dishes to cook.

"What are you laughing at? Look how happy you are."

At this time Jiang Xianfa came over with a gloomy look on his face.

Implicated in the Dai Tong incident, Wang Bin was demoted to deputy section chief of the General Affairs Section and served as acting section chief. Although Jiang Xianfa was not demoted, his division of labor was adjusted and he took on the role of canteen administrator.

"Nothing, nothing, Xiao Du, hurry up and cook, we'll be having dinner soon."

Liao Yongxin patted Jiang Xianfa on the shoulder, and then he and Du Shaojie went about their own business.

In the afternoon, Wang Bin came to find Du Shaojie and solemnly called him to his office for a talk.

"Xiao Du, your work performance is well known to the leaders and they remember it. Next month, Master Sun from Laolonghe Farm will retire. The superiors suggested and Corey discussed it and decided to let you, an activist, take over his job. Do you have any objection?"

Wang Bin looked at Du Shaojie with a smile, feeling very annoyed.

He personally admired the young man in front of him, who was hardworking and had made rapid progress in cooking. But Director Wu personally asked Du Shaojie to go to the farm to replace Master Sun who was about to retire. What could he do?
Du Shaojie was not very surprised. He had expected this day to come ever since he revealed Dai Tong's secret.

Anyway, the conflict between him and the uncle and nephew of the Dai family is irreconcilable. It is worth it to pay any price to bring the other party down.

Besides, is Director Wu sure that sending him to Laolonghe Farm is a punishment rather than a reward?
Nowadays, a large number of backbones of the unit, such as the old director, are working on the farm. It will only benefit you and not harm you to establish good relationships with them in advance.

This is a turbulent era, and everyone, whether consciously or unconsciously, is about to stand at a crossroads in life.

Some people choose to go against the tide, while others choose to stand on the crest of the wave.

It was no problem for Du Shaojie to choose. He really wanted to give Director Wu a big certificate of honor.

"Chief Wang, I obey the department's decision. I think my frail mother and young sister will support my work. I have no other requests, but can you wait until after the Qingming Festival before leaving?"

Du Shaojie acted embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before expressing his willingness to go to Laolonghe Farm.

After Wang Bin heard him say this, he felt even more guilty.

Everyone in the department knows about Du Shaojie's family situation. His mother and two younger sisters need his care, and his salary is the only source of income for the family.
