Du Shaojie and Jiang Dongyuan were responsible for sending the two back home. He also fell asleep as soon as he got home. He had drunk a lot today.
In the middle of the night, he faintly heard the phone ringing.
He didn't want to get up. Who would call him in the middle of the night? Maybe it was a wrong call.
But the phone rang again and again. He finally resisted his sleepiness and got up to answer the phone.
"Mr. Du, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. I have an emergency to report to you. Two buyers of the company have been arrested."
The call was from Meng Gang. He was in Yangcheng at the time, and his mind was full of lawsuits.
Du Shaojie woke up immediately after hearing it and said, "Are you far away? If not, come over now and we can talk in person."
"Okay."
Meng Gang also felt that it was not good to talk about this on the phone, so he put down the phone and called the driver to drive straight to the old street.
Du Shaojie met the other party in the living room on the first floor, and he knew the details.
The matter is not complicated. For example, [Xichuan Restaurant] and [Seafood Restaurant] both have tobacco and alcohol items. Not to mention alcohol, sometimes customers also need cigarettes.
There are many people who smoke "foreign cigarettes" these days. Cigarettes such as "Sanwu" and "Marlboro" are very popular in the market.
Tobacco companies do not have much goods, and this kind of foreign cigarettes mostly come from special channels.
The company's buyer just wanted to purchase a batch of "foreign cigarettes", but he was set up and caught on the spot during the transaction.
The crime they set was "smuggling cigarettes."
"This is fishing, it's ridiculous. Smuggling, smuggling, our people are purchasing in Yangcheng. If there is a problem with the source of the cigarettes, go to the upstream supplier, why arrest our people?"
Du Shaojie was furious. It was obvious that the company's buyer was cheated.
There are many such "foreign cigarettes" on the market now. It cannot be said that the buyer's behavior is not wrong, but it is not to the point of exaggerating. If there is no one behind it, no one will believe it.
"Boss Du, this matter is aimed at the company, and even more at you. I will go to see what the situation is in the morning, and I will report to you in time if there are any problems."
Meng Gang was also very annoyed. He had ordered all stores to remove the "foreign cigarettes" that came from improper sources overnight, and required all levels of procurement to stop purchasing such products in future work.
"Let me go with you to have a look. I guess their purpose is not to catch two insignificant buyers, but to me in the end."
Du Shaojie waited until dawn, called Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao respectively, and then went to the relevant department with Meng Gang.
As a result, the two of them were still negotiating with the staff, and the man who talked to Du Shaojie last time came over.
This person was Qi Chenggang's confidant, and this matter was also planned and executed by him.
"What's the matter with these two people?"
He pretended not to know Du Shaojie and asked the staff.
The staff explained the relevant situation to him, and Du Shaojie looked at him coldly and performed without saying a word.
"Oh? This is the boss of the two buyers. It's just right. The leaders and bosses must be responsible for this kind of thing. Come on, take them in for questioning. I don't believe they don't know about it."
Du Shaojie and Meng Gang looked at each other, meaning that they were going to detain us.
This guy blatantly retaliated, didn't he even try to cover it up?
Immediately, someone took Du Shaojie and Meng Gang to two offices to take notes. As you can imagine, their attitudes were not good at all.
Du Shaojie didn't know anything when asked. He really didn't know the specifics. The restaurant didn't rely on selling cigarettes and alcohol, it was just a byproduct. He didn't care about these details, so he neglected this question.
"You are very uncooperative. Sit here and think about it. Call me when you have thought about it."
The person who asked the question sneered and left Du Shaojie in the room.
Du Shaojie was not panicked. He knew that this was a show of force from the other party. This matter would not do anything to him. He would probably be detained for a while.
He didn't know how long it would be. 24 hours? 48 hours? Anyway, it couldn't be more.
The situation on Meng Gang's side was similar. He was not allowed to leave anyway, which was disgusting.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Du Shaojie simply closed his eyes and entered the simulation space. He would automatically exit as long as he was disturbed by the outside world, and he was not worried about any consequences.
Anyway, he was bored, so he began to improve the method of [grilled fish] in the simulation space.
When he felt tired, he retreated to reality, and then fell asleep while sitting on the chair.
"As expected of a big boss, your psychological quality is so good that you can even fall asleep here. Don't sleep, hurry up and eat."
Du Shaojie was called after sleeping for an unknown period of time. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the person who asked the question before brought a portion of [fried beef noodles] and put it on the table in front of him.
Du Shaojie thought that the other party was going to starve him for a day, but he didn't expect that there was still food to eat.
He then took a bite and couldn't help frowning: "Is this what you usually eat? It's too disgusting, it's almost hard to swallow."
"Hey, where do you think this is? You're still picky. Let me tell you, this [Fried Beef Noodles] is something I brought back from the cafeteria. Don't say I'm abusing you, I also ate this for lunch."
The man was unwilling. He brought lunch to the other person with good intentions, so he was wrong, right?
"Then I thank you, but your unit should really change the chef. This skill is not even comparable to that of my cooks."
Du Shaojie complained, and then finished the [Stir-fried Beef Noodles] with disdain. Wasting is not a good habit.
The man did not continue to argue with him. The food in the cafeteria was not good to begin with, and everyone had been complaining about it.
It was just that the chef was a relative of Director Peng, so everyone dared not speak out. Director Peng's name was Peng Ziwu, and he was the one who ordered Du Shaojie and Meng Gang to be detained for questioning.
Peng Ziwu was Qi Chenggang's confidant, and his status was equivalent to Jiao Hongtao. He was the head of the Second Branch.
After dinner, the man continued to question.
Du Shaojie cooperated very well for the sake of a [Stir-fried Beef Noodles]. In short, he was not aware of it and did not participate. You can't detain good people for no reason.
Seeing that he could not get anything out of him, the man asked Du Shaojie to sign the transcript and turned to leave the office.
At this time, Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao already knew about the detention of Du Shaojie and Meng Gang. Lin Zhiyuan went directly to Qi Chenggang and said very impolitely that if they were not released tonight, he would definitely make a big deal.
Jiao Hongtao went to his superiors and reported the matter.
In the afternoon, Liao Yongxin, Chu Linlin and others knew about it. Chu Linlin even called Liang Meiqin because she knew that the other party had some high-end connections.
Liang Meiqin received the call and immediately told Cai Jing about it. After thinking about it, she also called Director Luo.
Although Director Luo has retired, his previous connections are still there, and it is not that he can't help with everything.
Not to mention Cai Jing, she is not an ordinary businessman. After receiving the call, she immediately mobilized her own connections.
Even the instigators Qi Chenggang and Peng Ziwu did not expect that their retaliation would cause such a big commotion.
Huge pressure followed, and they had to consider releasing the people.
In fact, they all knew that this matter could not do anything to Du Shaojie, but it was no problem to detain him for 24 hours.
In addition, they had a back-up plan and would make full use of this matter to attack Du Shaojie and his company.
But now it seems that the power behind the other party should not be underestimated.
"Leader, should we release him?"
Peng Ziwu could not sit still and rushed to Qi Chenggang's office.
Qi Chenggang frowned, thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said:
"We must release him. If the matter gets out of hand, neither you nor I will have a good ending. In this way, you should try to delay it and release him before 12 o'clock at night."
Finally, Du Shaojie and Meng Gang walked out of the Second Branch at the stroke of midnight.
Outside the door, Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao were both there.
Du Shaojie asked Wang Yongli to send Meng Gang back, and he got into Lin Zhiyuan's car. The two cars drove away one after the other and went directly to [Xichuan Restaurant].
Liao Yongxin and Chu Linlin were still waiting, and they put down their worries when they saw Du Shaojie.
"Master, just make two dishes, and Director Lin and I will have a few drinks. Everyone else, go back and rest. There will be things to do tomorrow."
Du Shaojie gave instructions and went to a private room with Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao.
It didn't take long for the food and drinks to be served.
Du Shaojie clinked glasses with the two and said, "It's a sin that you didn't rest so late because of my matter."
"We are all friends, so there is no need to be too polite. In fact, even if we didn't come forward, Qi Chenggang would have to let him go, and he would never dare to do anything too excessive. Alas, this matter was a trap set by your two men, so just take it as a lesson."
Jiao Hongtao was familiar with the rules and made some analysis for Du Shaojie.
The matter would not be too big, including the two purchasers who would be released soon. With the punishment and fine, it is estimated that some money would be lost.
"It's good that no one is fine, and the loss of some money is just like paying for a lesson."
Du Shaojie sighed. This incident made him feel very angry, but he had no way to vent.
Being targeted by an old sly guy like Qi Chenggang is indeed a bit of a headache.
"Boss Du, don't take some things to heart. As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Qi Chenggang has evil intentions and will definitely fall in the future.
You should do business as you should, be careful, and try to avoid some non-compliant things. Don't worry, we won't watch you suffer losses. If there is an opportunity, someone will naturally give the other party a slap in the face."
Lin Zhiyuan has completely turned against Qi Chenggang for Du Shaojie's matter.
In the future, whenever he has the chance, he will not let the other party go.
In fact, the one who wanted to bring Qi Chenggang down the most was Jiao Hongtao, but he didn't say much, just planned to wait for the opportunity secretly.
It was very late, the three of them ate something and drank a few glasses of wine and then went back to their homes.
When Du Shaojie returned home, Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei had already fallen asleep.
Wang Yuxiu naturally didn't know about her son's affairs. It was normal for her son to come back late with such a big business, and she had nothing to worry about. (End of this chapter)
