Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie learned that the people from the capital had bribed two ordinary members of the Municipal Association, and the rumors came from the mouths of these two guys.

So he quickly notified Pang Weidong and asked the Yangcheng store to call the police immediately.

Through the events at Chang'an and Dazheng stores, Pang Weidong already had a lot of evidence of slander and accusations. This time, as long as he could catch the perpetrators red-handed, Hu Xiaohua would definitely be punished.

Du Shaojie found Huang Yong, hoping that he could help.

"Boss Du, this is a small matter. The key is to what extent do you plan to do it?"

Huang Yong has already received a report to the police. Spreading rumors and slander can be a big deal or a small one. If it gets too big, it may be suspected of violating regulations.

He is not afraid of trouble, but he needs the other party to give him a word of affirmation.

"As long as we can uncover the mastermind behind the scenes, we don't need to do anything else. Someone will naturally clean up the mess."

Du Shaojie told the truth, which made Huang Yong feel relieved.

Afterwards, he sent his capable men to investigate the case, and following the two ordinary members, he quickly arrested several people who came from the capital.

These people are Hu Xiaohua's confidants, and one of them is his cousin.

After being arrested, these people were more stubborn than the other, and no matter how hard they were questioned, nothing could be learned. This was because they knew Hu Xiaohua would save them, and if they exposed Hu Xiaohua, they would be completely finished.

Huang Yong did not dare to go too far, so he did not resort to any means, and the interrogation came to a halt.

After Du Shaojie got the news, he immediately called Pang Weidong.

"Ajie, thank you. You did a great job. Leave the rest to me. Hu Xiaohua won't be around for many more days."

However, Pang Weidong was not disappointed at all. If he caught those people, especially Hu Xiaohua's cousin among them, he could string all the evidence together and make a move in Beijing.

In the past, his fight with Hu Xiaohua could only be regarded as a personal grudge. But now that the other party's family members have gotten involved, it means that this is no longer his personal matter, and he has every reason to ask his family for help.

"Okay, I wish you all the best then."

Du Shaojie knew that his mission had been completed and he could not help in any other way.

A few days later, Huang Yong told him that the arrested people were taken back to Beijing by the relevant authorities.

After that, Du Shaojie no longer paid attention to this matter. All the stores of [Shuweixiang Hotpot] have resumed normal operations, and the impact of this farce is gradually disappearing.

It just so happened that a new session of the [Advanced Training Class] had just started, so he went to the training center to be a guest lecturer for a while.

After returning from Hongzhou, he made some progress in his cooking skills. New insights will naturally bring new ideas, which will also promote the preparation of Sichuan cuisine.

Du Shaojie's lectures are easy to understand and are very popular among students.

"You are really good, kid. Now you have a taste of returning to nature. If you continue on this path, you will become a senior technician in no time."

As the boss of the training center, Liao Yongxin would go to listen to Du Shaojie's lectures almost every time.

After hearing this, he realized that his cheap apprentice had reached a level that he could not reach. His cooking skills were now abandoning the showmanship and had a little bit of the flavor of "the great way is simple".

After the 20-day training period, the master and the apprentice had a drink alone, and Liao Yongxin spoke his true feelings.

"It's not that exaggerated. I can only say that I have just touched the threshold of this realm."

Du Shaojie was not arrogant, he knew his own strength very well.

If I were to take the senior technician exam now, the chance of success would only be 50%. To be on the safe side, I could only slowly hone my cooking skills. With my current level of strength, any improvement would be difficult.

After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie returned home.

Today he and Liao Yongxin drank a bottle of white wine. Although he didn't react much, he still smelled strongly of alcohol.

Wang Yuxiu scolded him for a few words while making him a bowl of sobering soup.

"Mom, why hasn't Xiaomei come back yet?"

It was getting late, and after drinking a bowl of sobering soup, he found that Xiaomei had not returned home yet.

"She's been very busy lately, often working overtime or attending meetings."

Wang Yuxiu responded with a smile that people of her generation would not take overtime work as a big deal, and then went to do her own thing.

After a while, Xiaomei walked into the house exhausted.

"elder brother"

"have you eaten?"

"I have. I had a box lunch at work. Recently the bank has to meet the standards for acceptance, so there are a lot of things to do. I am really tired. Brother, I won't talk to you for now. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Du Xiaomei immediately went upstairs, not even having the strength to speak.

Du Shaojie regretted letting her be the branch manager, a small official who was busy all day long.

He then went to his room and had just taken a shower when he received a call from Pang Weidong.

"Ajie, it's settled. No one will bother us anymore."

"Should I say congratulations?"

"Don't be ridiculous. This is my fault. I promise that it won't happen again."

"Okay, Dongzi, who are we? Don't think too much and take a good rest recently."

The two chatted for a while and then ended the call. Du Shaojie was just thinking about practicing a few dishes in the simulated scene when the phone rang again.

"Shaojie, wuwuwu, I'm in trouble."

The call was from Qi Yan. The other party seemed to be in a panic and didn't know what problem he had encountered.

"Swallow, don't be anxious. Just take your time and tell me what's going on."

Du Shaojie comforted the other party, and Qi Yan told him the whole story.

It was a simple matter. A group of colleagues went out for dinner, and a male colleague drank a few more glasses of wine, and took advantage of the alcohol to confess to Qi Yan. Qi Yan had always claimed in school that she had a fiancé, but this man did not give up and took this opportunity to pester her.

Qi Yan flatly refused. She didn't expect that this guy would dare to touch her.

As a result, she beat him.

"How hard did you hit him?"

Du Shaojie suddenly had a bad feeling. Others didn't know it, but he knew very well that Qi Yan was not someone to be trifled with. This guy had never suffered a loss in a fight since he was a child, otherwise why would he be called the "Big Sister of Chunfeng Lane" later?

"I kicked him there and the guy ended up in the hospital. I really didn't mean to do it, it was just a stress reaction, but now I've been suspended and I might even face a lawsuit."

Qi Yan’s kick was so hard that the opponent naturally couldn’t swallow it.

That man is a local and his family has some skills, so Qi Yan is now in an unpredictable situation.

"Swallow, don't worry. You are right anyway. If I were there, I would have kicked him lightly. So, I will find someone to help you settle this matter. You can take a few days' rest first."

Du Shaojie was speechless. How could such a thing happen?

At the same time, he also felt that some things could not be delayed any longer, and he had to find an opportunity to confront them. As for the consequences of the showdown, even he himself could not predict.

After hanging up the phone, Du Shaojie called Pang Weidong.

Pang Weidong couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Ajie, you leave him in Beijing all day without showing up yourself, so some people might think something of it. Leave this to me, and I will definitely satisfy you later."

"Thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink when I go to the capital in a few days."

Du Shaojie needs to go to Shenzhen in the next two days as there is a lot of official business piled up at the company that needs him to handle.

Then he would rush to the capital to visit and comfort Qi Yan.

The next day.

Du Shaojie, Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe drove to Shenzhen.

Then he set about his business, and in just three days he had finished everything.

He was busy during the day these days, and he was also busy at night when he stayed at Liang Meiqin's place. He wanted to confront her, but Liang Meiqin was very sensitive and interrupted him every time.

"Shaojie, you can do whatever you want without telling me. As for me, I will never leave you for the rest of my life, unless you don't want me anymore."

After hearing these words, Du Shaojie didn't know what to say.

After finishing his work here, he returned to Yangcheng and flew to Beijing. Wang Yongli was with him, while Zou Xiaohe stayed behind.

"Before I knew it, [Xichuan Restaurant] already has 19 stores."

During the flight, Du Shaojie kept his eyes closed to rest, but he was thinking about the statistical data he had seen in the past few days.

Currently, the company's sub-brands include [Xichuan Restaurant] with 29 stores, [Northwest Noodle House] with 35 stores, and [Seafood House] with 4 stores.

He also owns a [barbecue restaurant], and has invested in a [fish restaurant] and [Shuweixiang Hotpot]. These are not counted for now, after all, they have not been collected under the name of the company.

Take Xichuan Restaurant, Northwest Noodle House and Seafood House for example. According to the current profit level, the net income they bring to him is about 2000 million yuan each year.

The company's turnover has long surpassed a small goal and it is a well-deserved industry giant.

Du Shaojie felt that he could control the pace of expansion and maintain the current achievements first.

The plane arrived at the Beijing airport on time. When we walked out of the terminal, Yu Jianxin and his men were waiting outside.

"Boss Du, let's go eat first. I've already made arrangements."

"Forget it, I have something else to do. Go do your thing and we'll talk later."

Yu Jianxin brought Du Shaojie's car. Du Shaojie shook his head and drove away with Wang Yongli.

Qi Yan is currently in a low point, and the first thing he does when he arrives in the capital is to appease the other party.

When they arrived near Qi Yan's residence, Du Shaojie got out of the car and went upstairs alone.

"Shaojie, you're finally here. I've been so bored these days."

After knocking on the door, Qi Yan pulled Du Shaojie into the room and hugged him tightly.

She has been having a hard time these days, and is criticized every time she goes to work. The police station has not yet come to a conclusion, so the work unit can only delay the handling of the case.

The man who was beaten refused to give in at home and has been going to the workplace to make trouble recently.

Fortunately, Qi Yan does not need to live in the dormitory, otherwise a second conflict would most likely break out.

"That family is shameless! Don't worry, Yan Zi, I will help you."

Du Shaojie patted Qi Yan on the back, giving her peace of mind. (End of this chapter)
