Chapter 203 Suspension from Duty and Investigation! Section Chief Zhou is in Trouble.



If you like a particular style, just tell the furniture maker, pay the deposit, and you can pick up the finished furniture a few days later!

Young people generally prefer stylish furniture and decor, and Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang are no exception.

After selecting a complete set of stylish furniture, Tang Liang's parents happily paid the deposit and are waiting to bring the furniture back to their new home in a couple of days!

After looking at the furniture, and with nothing else to do for the time being, Li Junsheng asked Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang to accompany Tang's parents to stroll around the city.

He won't play along!

Li Xiaoyu took Tang's mother's arm and prepared to lead her to a state-run department store to buy some clothes.

Tang's mother looked very simple, but she gave Li Xiaoyu a jade bracelet, and Li Xiaoyu also wanted to buy her something nice!

Li Junsheng took some time to visit the food processing plant, allocated some money to the plant, and then asked Lu Ping to pay her mother's hospital fees.

Meanwhile, a major event occurred at the machine factory.

The factory received a letter of complaint alleging that Section Chief Zhou colluded with outsiders to resell scrap machinery.

Section Chief Zhou has been suspended from his duties pending investigation, and the factory has assigned someone to handle the matter.

Li Junsheng was unaware of all this. He had just returned from the factory and, having eaten little in the morning, was feeling quite hungry.

Just as I entered the restaurant and was about to take a bite, an uninvited guest swaggered in!

Tang Liang's uncle, Tang Dongliang, entered the restaurant and saw Li Junsheng. He greeted Li Junsheng with an air of nonchalance and arrogance.

"Tang Liang's father-in-law, where have you been all this time? I came here especially to eat at your restaurant today, to support your business!"

That's as if Li Junsheng's restaurant never has any customers.

Li Junsheng roughly understood Tang Dongliang's thoughts. Today, he wasn't here to eat; he was clearly here to show off his wealth.

He wanted to prove to Li Junsheng that he wasn't short of money, that he was rich!

Li Junsheng laughed and slapped him in the face, "Didn't you say the other day that the food at my restaurant was just so-so? My restaurant has problems in every way, so I won't keep a distinguished guest like you. Go to a better restaurant."

Tang Dongliang ignored Li Junsheng's sarcastic remarks and said to Li Junsheng in a good mood, "Whether it's delicious or not, we can talk about it later. This is mainly to support your business. But the fact that you have such self-awareness shows that you're not bad!"

Tang Dongliang's arrogance made Li Junsheng laugh in anger.

Inside the restaurant, Li Junsheng's children, daughter-in-law, and son-in-law all frowned upon hearing Tang Dongliang's voice.

Why is Tang Dongliang here again?

Li Junsheng wanted to get rid of this person, but Tang Dongliang stubbornly insisted on staying at the restaurant for dinner.

He even asked Li Junsheng, "Xiaoyu's dad, we didn't have enough drinking the other day, shall we have a few more drinks today?"

"Tang Liang's uncle, you can't hold your liquor, and you talk nonsense when you're drunk. You should drink less, or you'll easily get beaten up outside!"

"It's alright, a little drink today is good for the mood. I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

Li Junsheng had been so sarcastic towards Tang Dongliang, yet he didn't get angry at all, completely different from the easily angered man he was just a couple of days ago.

However, Li Junsheng did not think he had suddenly become better, because Li Junsheng saw clear scheming in his eyes.

Not knowing what he was planning, Li Junsheng still invited him to a relatively quiet table, had someone give him a menu, and let him order for himself.

At this moment, Qin Yong came over to Li Junsheng and said, "Dad, I've delivered the new batch of grains, oils, and ingredients that the restaurant just bought to the kitchen!"

"Hmm, have you had lunch yet? If not, sit down and we can eat together. I haven't eaten either."

Qin Yong was definitely going to stay with his father-in-law, and he even glanced back at Li Chunya, who was busy with the cashier's calculations.

Seeing that she was alright, Qin Yong was relieved.

Tang Dongliang flipped through the menu, not in a hurry to order, but started talking to Li Junsheng, eager to tell him about Section Chief Zhou!

"Xiaoyu's dad, I went to the machine factory today to catch up with Section Chief Zhou. Guess what?"

Tang Dongliang looked mysterious and pretended to be enigmatic.

Li Junsheng was too lazy to flatter him, not even bothering to give him a perfunctory reply, and simply asked Qin Yong what he wanted to eat!

Qin Yong ignored Tang Dongliang and asked if he wanted some cold dishes and two large steamed buns.

Seeing that Li Junsheng wasn't in a hurry to ask about Section Chief Zhou, Tang Dongliang's eyes flashed with displeasure.

He could only continue speaking coldly to Li Junsheng: "Section Chief Zhou has been suspended from his duties pending investigation. Someone sent a letter of complaint to the machinery factory, accusing him of colluding with outsiders to resell the factory's scrap materials. Xiaoyu's father, do you think Section Chief Zhou will be in trouble?"

"Oh dear... I wonder who Section Chief Zhou's accomplice is. If this is investigated, he could go to jail. How could Section Chief Zhou be so muddle-headed? He should be able to shift the blame onto someone else, right?"

As Tang Dongliang spoke, he carefully observed Li Junsheng's expression.

I wanted to glean some clues from his expression.

Upon hearing Tang Dongliang's words, Qin Yong immediately became somewhat nervous!

He was responsible for hauling scrap from the machinery factory to the agricultural machinery factory for his father-in-law, and he knew best that his father-in-law's scrap was obtained through that Section Chief Zhou.

Although his father-in-law had all the proper paperwork, there might be some inside information he didn't know about...

Just then, Section Chief Zhou was investigated, which in turn implicated his father-in-law. Wouldn't his father-in-law be unable to clear his name no matter what?

I wonder if the people investigating Section Chief Zhou will trace his background back to his father-in-law.

Qin Yong couldn't help but look nervously at his father-in-law.

Looking at Tang Dongliang again, I saw a sinister and smug look on his face.

Qin Yong couldn't help but curse this man in his heart as a lunatic. His father-in-law had no grudge against him, so why was he targeting his father-in-law like this?

Could it be resentment towards the rich? Is he unable to bear the thought that his father-in-law is wealthier than him? Is he unable to accept that Tang Liang has such a good father-in-law?

Qin Yong thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case!

Tang Liang's uncle is truly wicked.

Tang Dongliang, unaware of Qin Yong's thoughts, stared intently at Li Junsheng, trying to discern any flaws in his expression.

However, Li Junsheng remained completely calm and showed no sign of worry.

He turned to the others and said, "Section Chief Zhou is really muddle-headed."

The waiter was taken aback, not expecting the boss to bring up this gossip.

Since the conversation had started, he felt compelled to offer his opinion.

"Boss, to be honest, they're all pretty much the same. People can never have too much money."

Li Junsheng gave the waiter an approving look, then gently reminded him, "That makes sense, but making money has to be done honestly and ethically. Speculation and profiteering won't do."

The waiter nodded repeatedly and grinned at Li Junsheng.

"I'm doing very well at our restaurant. The boss, Brother Guohua, and Sister Chunya are all very kind to everyone, so we don't think about anything else."

Li Junsheng smiled, and Tang Dongliang, seeing that he showed no sign of nervousness, began to get restless.
