"Fuck! If a chef doesn't rely on his skills, does he have to rely on his connections? Of course, some things are unavoidable, but we can't blatantly violate the rules, right?
This matter is not over yet. I will report the unhealthy trend of this selection activity to the relevant departments."
Du Shaojie finally understood it now. Although he didn't know why, the two guys were definitely retaliating.
If it was other circumstances that led to his failure, he wouldn't do anything even if it was unfair, because it was unnecessary. But if someone deliberately targeted him, then the nature of the matter would change, and he would definitely fight the other party to the end.
Luo Sankun looked at Du Shaojie deeply and felt very relieved.
They approached Du Shaojie, naturally hoping that the other party would be a bold and responsible person with leadership qualities. If the other party was a submissive person who didn't dare to take the lead when encountering problems, they probably wouldn't bother to make close friends with him.
People in society always have a sense of group, and almost no one can avoid it.
"Boss Du, we are weak and can't stop the re-scoring. Sorry!"
At this point, Luo Sankun had nothing to say. The word "sorry" fully reflected his helplessness.
Du Shaojie waved his hand and said,
"Master Luo, you have done your best in this matter. Don't think too much. If they want to re-score, they can do it. If the re-score is obviously unfair, I hope you can say a few words for me."
"Of course, please rest assured."
Luo Sankun nodded solemnly. He could only do this much.
Later, the two left the teahouse one after the other, and Du Shaojie returned home alone.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He didn't know Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli at all, and it was unlikely that he had offended them unintentionally. So why did they have to target him?
If he didn't figure out the reason, he would feel uneasy.
After thinking about it, he called Huang Yong. It is said that Jiao Hongtao is the most reliable person to find if there is anything, but now that the other party is in the provincial department, it is not as convenient as before to do things.
"Mr. Du, what's the matter? Tell me, I will do my best to do it."
Huang Yong didn't say much, but his attitude was impeccable.
"Director Huang, I want you to help me check two people, Peng Wanli from the Provincial Cooking Association and Wu Yingcai from the Municipal Cooking Association. The thing is, didn't I participate in a selection activity? These two people are obviously targeting me, but I didn't know them before."
Du Shaojie did not hide it and told the whole story of the matter.
He has been puzzled for the past few days, and even suspected that Peng Wanli had any relationship with Peng Ziwu? But it's impossible to think about it, how could things in the world be so coincidental?
"I know, give me two days."
Huang Yong didn't waste any words, agreed and hung up.
Du Shaojie sighed, he finally understood what it meant to "be in the rivers and lakes and have no choice".
According to his personality, he would rather study cooking and do things quietly.
But he also knew that such a state could only exist in an ideal world.
The next day.
Du Shaojie went to the construction site of the [Training Center] and received a call from Luo Sankun as soon as he returned home.
"Boss Du, we had a second scoring this morning. As expected, except for the three of us, the other judges changed their previous appreciation for you and gave you very low scores.
According to this score, you are naturally eliminated. There are two unfamiliar faces in the top ten, and both of them are from the same restaurant, [Shuweiju]."
Luo Sanju informed him of the situation of the re-scoring today. There will be another symbolic process later, and the result of this selection activity will be announced.
Du Shaojie thanked the other party, and the two ended the call immediately.
"Who is this [Shuweiju]? Why does it sound so familiar to me?"
Du Shaojie pondered for a moment and remembered that this [Shuweiju] had come to him frantically to poach people. But the effect was not good, and there was no movement afterwards.
[Shuweiju] involves Zhang Yufa and others, and the manager in public is Zhang Yufa's wife.
Now it seems that this [Shuweiju] is not simple. Two of their chefs suddenly entered the top ten of the selection activity. It would be strange if there was no strong support from Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli.
This was a new clue, and he immediately called Huang Yong to tell him.
Huang Yong quickly found out:
First, Peng Wanli and Peng Ziwu were indeed somewhat related, but they were distant relatives.
Second, Wu Yingcai had always been Peng Wanli's man, and the relationship between them and Peng Ziwu was average, and no deeper connection was found between them.
Finally, the background of [Shuweiju] was very complicated, and the chain of interests in it could not be figured out for a while. But there was one thing, that Peng Wanli and [Shuweiju] were inextricably linked.
To put it bluntly, Huang Yong did not find out the real reason why Wu Yingcai, Peng Wanli and others were hostile to Du Shaojie.
"Director Tang, thank you! After I'm done with this busy period, let's find time to get together."
Du Shaojie put down the phone, still confused.
Before, he fought with Zhang Yufa and [Shuxianglou], and Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli did not intervene. At that time, they should not have had much friendship with Zhang Yufa and his wife, but how did they get together later? If it was
n't a conflict of interest, Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli wouldn't have offended Du Shaojie to death.
Du Shaojie's head hurt because he couldn't analyze what kind of conflict he had with the two.
He didn't understand it, so he sorted out a set of materials and went to find Lin Zhiyuan. He wanted to complain to the relevant parties. After all, he was the person involved. If he didn't say anything, the matter would definitely be left unresolved.
Lin Zhiyuan also thought this matter was very strange. Except for revenge, most people would not do this.
How to say it, this work is too rough, and it is very consistent with the retaliation on impulse. Otherwise, Du Shaojie would be eliminated in the first scoring, how could it be so ugly?
"Mr. Du, please wait a moment. I'll make two calls first."
Lin Zhiyuan called the president of the provincial association in front of Du Shaojie. The two knew each other before, but their relationship was ordinary.
So he talked about the matter at hand and pointed out the violation of the selection activities.
The other party did not express his position, but just asked him to give him the relevant materials, and he would ask the relevant personnel for information.
Lin Zhiyuan did not say much, and then made two calls to the superior departments of the Municipal Association and the Provincial Association. He was very familiar with these two units, and they gave him face and said that they would investigate as soon as possible.
"Mr. Du, you don't need to care too much about this matter. Those two old guys are not young anymore, and they will definitely stand aside in the next election. If you wait a little longer, it will be a piece of cake to deal with them." After
Lin Zhiyuan finished the call, he tactfully advised Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie shook his head and told the other party about his suspicion.
"It's not that I can't afford to lose. If it's just for a title, I will remain silent even if the other party has done something. But they may have a grudge against me, so I can't just ignore it."
"Oh? There is this situation?"
Lin Zhiyuan agreed deeply. At this time, he couldn't be soft-hearted. He had to fight the other party to the end.
After Du Shaojie left, he told Jiao Hongtao about this matter and asked him to check the financial situation of Wu Yingcai, especially Peng Wanli. These two people are full-time staff of the association. They have long given up their cooking skills. If they have external money, there must be something wrong.
However, this investigation can only be carried out quietly, after all, there is a possibility of violation.
Jiao Hongtao is an old criminal policeman, he has his own way. According to the informant, Peng Wanli and Wu Yingcai used to live a luxurious life, smoking good cigarettes and drinking famous wines. One meal could eat up the income of ordinary people for a month or even several months.
Moreover, these two guys have women outside.
In addition, Jiao Hongtao also found that there was the shadow of Shuxianglou behind [Shuweiju], and Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli also had shares in it.
"Director Lin, Peng Wanli and Wu Yingcai should be targeting President Du for Shuweiju. If Shuweiju wants to rise, it will definitely clash with Xichuan Restaurant."
After investigating the matter, Jiao Hongtao did not go to Du Shaojie immediately, but discussed it with Lin Zhiyuan first.
They were both afraid that Du Shaojie would get angry, so they had to think of a safe way first.
"Old Jiao, have you found any evidence of collusion between Peng Wanli and Peng Ziwu? I always feel that the whole thing is very strange. Peng Wanli and others seem to have deliberately jumped out to stir up hatred."
"I also found this problem, but Peng Wanli's deposit is unclear. I only know that he usually spends extravagantly. Unless we search his house, it will be difficult to find evidence."
Jiao Hongtao could not investigate further. Going further would cross the line. He would not do that.
This matter is complicated and confusing, and even he, a professional, can't see
through it. Lin Zhiyuan pondered for a while, then picked up the phone and called Du Shaojie.
"Boss Du, are you free now? Come out and sit down. Well, let's go to the fish restaurant."
Lin Zhiyuan and Jiao Hongtao went to the fish restaurant. After meeting Du Shaojie, they told him the results of the investigation.
Du Shaojie didn't know that the two had done so much behind the scenes, and he was really touched.
At this stage, the real-name system for deposits has not been implemented. If it is a real-name system, unless Peng Wanli hides cash at home, his financial situation would have been found out long ago.
"Let's not talk about Wu Yingcai for now. He is Peng Wanli's dog. I have an assumption. If Peng Wanli participated in Peng Ziwu's illegal activities, then why is he so eager to retaliate against me?
I think Peng Wanli is deliberately creating confusion and trying to use this incident to attract our attention, thereby covering up his true motives. I don't believe that he is targeting me for [Shuweiju]. I would rather believe that he is avenging Peng Ziwu."
In the past few days, Du Shaojie has thought a lot and always feels that the previous selection activities are ridiculous.
There are too many contradictions in a series of things. As for their two scoring operations, as long as they complain to the higher-ups, they will not get what they deserve.
"Boss Du is right. I have to keep an eye on it."
Jiao Hongtao left them alone and hurried away.
He found the team leader in charge of the "Peng Ziwu" case and asked him about the progress of the case. (End of this chapter)
