Chapter 98: Bold Employee
At noon, several policemen came to Xiangjiang Kitchen and conducted a search.
The diners turned their heads to look, what happened?
Ye Shuyi was also confused, so she asked them what the reason was.
The leading police officer pulled Ye Shuyi aside and whispered to her that someone had complained that the food at Xiangjiang Kitchen was problematic.
It is also food.
A man of integrity has nothing to fear, so Ye Shuyi said, you can search as you like, but it cannot affect my guests' meals.
The policeman said it was no problem, and with a gesture, the officer who came behind him went into the kitchen.
After a search, nothing was found.
A police officer came out holding a bag of ginseng and said, "The person who made the complaint said there was something wrong with the ginseng. I don't see any difference!"
Looking at the bag of ginseng, Ye Shuyi's heart sank. Could there be something wrong with the ginseng?
But, Butler Xue said this morning that it was particularly effective!
Is it possible that the medicine is slow to take effect and will only be effective today?
Should I ask them again if there are any adverse reactions?
The leading officer's surname was Mo. He frowned, examined the ginseng, and muttered, "There's really nothing wrong with it."
"Officer, can you tell me who made the accusation? It's okay if you don't tell me. However, I just opened this bag of ginseng last night and only gave it to two people. They didn't feel anything unusual. But someone told you that he had an adverse reaction after eating this ginseng?" This is what Ye Shuyi was confused about.
It couldn't be that Ms. Fang and Chen Nanfeng called the police.
Who could it be?
Wasn't that the strange guest yesterday? He said he was Chen Nanfeng's second uncle. But, there's nothing wrong with this ginseng.
Why did he do that?
The police officer thought for a moment and understood.
"Is Zhang Youcai an employee of your store? He said he ate this ginseng and is lying in the hospital!" asked the sir.
Zhang Youcai is the Xiao Zhang mentioned above.
Ye Shuyi remembered that she had asked him to take the ginseng to the kitchen yesterday.
Okay, this means that there was something wrong with the ginseng originally, but he switched things up.
By accident, he himself had an accident after eating it, but Ye Shuyi was fine when she used it to make soup.
The strange guest who gave ginseng yesterday wanted to harm Ye Shuyi, or rather... Chen Nanfeng.
Was the ginseng recommendation given by Ms. Fang's doctor just right, or was it intentional... It's terrifying to think about it.
Before Ye Shuyi could think deeply, the police asked if there were any records to prove the origin of the ginseng, and whether there was evidence that the ginseng Zhang Youcai ate was not handled by Ye Shuyi.
"Of course."
Ye Shuyi installed cameras in the lobby, kitchen, stairs, and every private room.
This is to avoid being splashed with dirty water and being unable to clear oneself of it.
She retrieved the video of the strange guest giving ginseng, as well as the video of him instructing Xiao Zhang to put it in the kitchen.
Then, the scene shifts to the kitchen.
Xiao Zhang did not show up, but went to the staff lounge and put the ginseng in his cloth bag.
Then he went out immediately.
After a while, he returned to the lounge with the ordinary ginseng he had just bought from outside in his hand.
What happened next was not unexpected. He swapped Ye Shuyi's century-old ginseng with ordinary ginseng from outside.
The two ginsengs looked so similar that Ye Shuyi couldn't tell them apart at the time. She just thought the color didn't seem that good and didn't think much of it.
It seems that Zhang Youcai was greedy.
"Officer, now you see it clearly, right? In this case, our store will sue him for theft. As for the incident he had while eating ginseng, you can't blame us." Ye Shuyi copied the surveillance video into a USB drive and handed it to Officer Mo.
"Of course we can't blame you. Sorry for disturbing you, we will deal with it seriously." Officer Mo said seriously.
Ye Shuyi also asked them to investigate the so-called Mr. Chen Erye.
Officer Mo said that no suspicious person would be let off.
By the way, is Zhang Youcai really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Doesn't he know that there are surveillance cameras in the store?
Or does he think that this situation can also be used to extort compensation?
The employee took the initiative to intervene and the owner did not take any active fault.
This situation is really like: trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice.
Zhang Youcai transferred property without the consent of others, and given the high price of ginseng, he may face criminal penalties.
After seeing the police off, Ye Shuyi's first feeling was that she had escaped danger, and her second feeling was heartbreak.
She didn't have much contact with Zhang Youcai, but she had the impression that he was an honest and hardworking person.
I didn't expect that he would be greedy for the things in the store and do such an excessive thing.
This is what she knew today, what about what she didn’t know?
If the police hadn't come, the ginseng was fine, and she hadn't watched the surveillance footage later, then the matter would have been over.
That afternoon, she left only Wang Chunhua, Wu Shuorong, and Shi Ruoxin to entertain the guests, while the rest of them went to a small meeting.
Ye Shuyi has always been gentle, humble, and generous to her employees.
However, if you don't set rules for some people, they will think you are easy to bully.
Just like Zhang Youcai, who usually looks good, hardworking, capable, and warm. But such a person actually stole things!
Perhaps he was so bold because he thought Ye Shuyi would definitely not find out.
"Everyone has been here for a few months at most, and almost a month at the shortest. You all have a rough idea of who I am," Ye Shuyi said.
The employees all said that Ye Shuyi was a very nice person and that the salary and benefits at this store were also decent.
"I didn't like to talk too much about the rules of the room before, because we are all adults. We know what we should do and what we shouldn't do." She spoke slowly, with a hint of criticism.
"Ms. Ye, we know," they said.
"Well, first of all, you can't steal. Zhang Youcai stole the ginseng from our store. Now he has health problems after eating it, and he wants to ask our store for compensation. Don't you think this is unreasonable?" Ye Shuyi told everyone about this directly to see their reactions.
After hearing this, the employees really started whispering to each other.
Some of them had a close relationship with Zhang Youcai and were clearly in disbelief after learning about it. Others, who had a more average relationship with Zhang Youcai, showed no reaction. Some who had a less favorable relationship with Zhang Youcai seemed to be gloating over his misfortune.
Ye Shuyi didn't see the expression that should be shown when someone goes along with someone else.
Regardless of whether it happened or not, this time she wanted to make an example of someone.
"I have reported the case to the police. There are cameras in every corner of our store, and I will check them regularly. I hope you can be strict with yourselves, don't take chances, and don't do anything that will harm the interests of the store and the food store." This is what she wanted to say today.
She believed that everyone would not be that bad, but she had to be on guard against others.
Everyone agreed, promising that they would not get confused.
Ye Shuyi nodded and adjourned the meeting.
In the evening, Butler Xue came to get food, and Ye Shuyi told him about this.
"Master, second uncle, are you on good terms with the young master?" Ye Shuyi asked.
She couldn't be sure whether the so-called second uncle was impersonated by someone with ulterior motives.
If Butler Xue was not in a hurry to go back, she could still pull out the photo and let him identify it.
