After solving the problem of the restaurant and without Gu Yanrou's disturbance, Gu Yanyue felt that her life had returned to normal.
The restaurant business was getting better and better, and Yu An was sent by Gu Yanyue to Jiangnan to look after crayfish. In order to make Yu An's future work easier, Gu Yanyue thought that there should be more waiters in the store, so he asked the store to be responsible for finding a few waiters.
Gu Yanyue was lazy this time, but this laziness also got her into big trouble.
Business was booming, his wallet was fatter, and Gu Yanyue felt that his life in ancient times was getting better and better.
However, while she was enjoying this brief beauty, she didn't realize that the calm before the storm is always particularly tempting.
"My Lady, the restaurant has been closed." Liu Mei's news was like a bombshell, instantly waking up Gu Yanyue who was lying on the chaise longue and dreaming. Gu Yanyue stood up and said, "Liu Mei, what did you say?"
"The restaurant was sealed off because they said we had cooked the books!" Liu Mei said with a confused look on her face.
Gu Yanyue has always been cautious, so she has reviewed the restaurant's accounts and there has never been a problem. How could it be closed down for falsifying accounts?
Fengji Restaurant is a big restaurant in the capital. Its business has been very good recently and it has taken away business from its competitors. Gu Yanyue feels that maybe one of her competitors is deliberately making things difficult for her behind her back.
"Let's not talk about it for now, let's go to the restaurant." Gu Yanyue took Liu Mei and hurried out of the palace.
There were quite a few people around Fengji Restaurant, and Gu Yanyue squeezed in with great effort. She saw the officers and soldiers interrogating Uncle Chen, who was doing the accounting. Uncle Chen had been doing accounting for his entire life, and now that he was found to have false accounts, he was very anxious.
The elderly man had no way of expressing his grievances when facing the officers and soldiers.
"I'm the shopkeeper. I'm responsible for all the accounts of this restaurant. Old Chen is only responsible for keeping the accounts." Gu Yanyue stepped forward.
"You did the accounting?"
"right."
"Catch him." The officer said fiercely, and then arrested Gu Yanyue.
"How bold! Do you know..." Liu Mei was stopped by Gu Yanyue before she could finish her words.
"Liu Mei, go find him to save me, and don't cause trouble," Gu Yanyue ordered, and did not resist, allowing the soldiers to take her away.
Afterwards, Gu Yanyue was taken to the yamen and met the plaintiff Wang Tiezhu.
Wang Tiezhu was a little scared when he saw Gu Yanyue, but Gu Yanyue didn't say anything.
Gu Yanyue had expected a heated argument in court, but unexpectedly, the county magistrate arrived and immediately said, "Miss Gu, I was blind and didn't recognize you. You can leave now!"
The county magistrate's words made Gu Yanyue a little confused.
Unexpectedly, the person he met as soon as he left the yamen was Yuwen Ran.
"Aran, you're here."
Gu Yanyue finally understood why the attitudes of those officers and soldiers had changed drastically.
She sighed softly, "Thank you."
"You're my wife, why are you thanking me?" Yu Wenran comforted Gu Yanyue and pulled her into his arms. "Did you scare our Ah Yue?"
Gu Yanyue was a little touched. She knew how good Yuwen Ran was to her. Unknowingly, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
"Ah Ran, why do you think Wang Tiezhu framed the restaurant?"
"You'll know tomorrow if you ask."
After listening to Yu Wenran's advice, Gu Yanyue decided to ask Wang Tiezhu in person.
When they arrived at Wang Tiezhu's residence, Gu Yanyue knocked on the door. Wang Tiezhu opened the door, but the moment he saw Gu Yanyue, he closed the door again.
"Brother Wang, please open the door. I have something to ask you." Gu Yanyue knocked on the door anxiously. Wang Tiezhu held the door tightly and refused to open it for Gu Yanyue. "I don't know anything. Please leave." Wang Tiezhu's tone was a little scared.
"Brother Wang, I'm not here to cause trouble. I just want to know why you sued my restaurant." Gu Yanyue quickly explained her purpose.
"I had no choice. Just leave. Isn't it okay if I don't sue you?"
Gu Yanyue said she would do it, but she still couldn't convince Wang Tiezhu to open the door.
In the next few days, Gu Yanyue would go to see Wang Tiezhu every day, but every time she asked, she could not get any results.
After the government checked the accounts, they found no problems and the restaurant opened as usual. However, the business was affected. Many of the old customers were gone. When Gu Yanyue found these old customers, they all avoided the topic, leaving Gu Yanyue confused.
She was busy all day but saw no improvement, and on her way back she met Xiaowu, a waiter from the restaurant.
Xiaowu is a big and strong man who looks a bit fierce, but he is hardworking and seems to be quite honest.
"Xiaowu, what are you doing here?" Gu Yanyue asked.
Xiao Wu was a little nervous and looked at Gu Yanyue: "I'll bring some wine to Mr. Zhang."
"Go quickly." Gu Yanyue said.
After receiving the order, Xiaowu walked very fast, which made Gu Yanyue confused. Why was he walking so fast in broad daylight? What the hell was going on?
Gu Yanyue knew that there was definitely something wrong with her restaurant, and everyone in the restaurant was abnormal.
After returning to the restaurant, Gu Yanyue stopped the business and gathered everyone together.
Gu Yanyue smiled calmly: "Everyone, please share your thoughts on this false accounting incident."
Everyone denied that anything strange had happened in the restaurant, and Gu Yanyue couldn't get any information. Just when Gu Yanyue felt that she couldn't get any more information and was about to leave, she noticed that something was wrong with the chef, Lao Zhou's expression.
Old Zhou seemed to have something to say and looked at Gu Yanyue. When Gu Yanyue looked at him and motioned him to speak out, Old Zhou lowered his head again and did not dare to continue.
Everyone was like this, as if there was something in this restaurant that scared them.
After everyone left, Lao Zhou quietly found Gu Yanyue.
"Old Zhou, did you have something to say just now?" Gu Yanyue invited Old Zhou into the house. Old Zhou felt a little uneasy, like a child.
"Old Zhou, just tell me whatever you want to say." Gu Yanyue encouraged Old Zhou.
With Gu Yanyue's encouragement, this honest man finally spoke.
"Boss, Xiaowu violently beat up customers, demanding tips from them. He would beat them if they didn't. During Yu An's absence, Xiaowu bullied the shop. He used to be a gangster, and everyone was afraid of him and didn't dare to speak out."
Gu Yanyue was furious when she heard this. Such a person actually appeared in her store. No wonder those customers were hesitant to speak, fearing that Xiaowu had made many threats!
It seems that this person needs to be disciplined!
