Du Shaojie learned that the people from Beijing had bribed two ordinary members of the Municipal Association, and the rumors came from these two guys.
So he quickly notified Pang Weidong and asked the Yangcheng store to call the police immediately.
Through the events of Chang'an Store and Dazheng Store, Pang Weidong has already obtained a lot of evidence of slander. This time, as long as he can catch the person red-handed, Hu Xiaohua will definitely be in trouble.
Du Shaojie found Huang Yong and hoped that he could help.
"Mr. Du, this is a small matter. The key is how far you plan to go?"
Huang Yong has already received a report. Rumors and slander can be big or small. If it is too big, it will be suspected of violating regulations.
He is not afraid of trouble, but he needs the other party to give a positive word.
"As long as we can dig out the mastermind behind the scenes, we don't need to do anything else. Someone will naturally clean up the mess."
Du Shaojie told the truth, which made Huang Yong relieved.
Afterwards, he sent his capable men to investigate the case, and along with the two ordinary members, he quickly caught several people from Beijing.
These people are Hu Xiaohua's confidants, and one of them is his cousin.
After being arrested, these people are more stubborn than the other, and no matter how they are questioned, they can't get any information. Because they know that Hu Xiaohua will save them, if they bite Hu Xiaohua out, they will be completely finished.
Huang Yong didn't dare to do too much, so he didn't use any means, and the interrogation came to a standstill.
After Du Shaojie got the news, he immediately called Pang Weidong.
"Ajie, thank you, you did a great job. Leave the rest to me, Hu Xiaohua won't be able to jump around for a few days."
However, Pang Weidong was not disappointed at all. He caught those people, especially Hu Xiaohua's cousin, so he could string all the evidence together and make a move in Beijing.
In the past, his fight with Hu Xiaohua could only be regarded as a personal grudge. But now that the other party's family members have been involved, it means that this is no longer his personal matter, and he has every reason to ask his family for help.
"Okay, then I wish you all the best."
Du Shaojie knew that his mission had been completed and he couldn't help in other ways.
A few days later, Huang Yong told him that the arrested people were taken back to Beijing by the relevant authorities.
After that, Du Shaojie no longer paid attention to this matter. All the stores of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot] have resumed normal operations, and the impact of this farce is gradually disappearing.
Coincidentally, the new [Advanced Training Class] was opened, so he went to the training center to guest lecture for a period of time.
After returning from Hongzhou, he has made some progress in cooking. New insights will naturally bring new ideas, which will also promote the production of Sichuan cuisine.
Du Shaojie's lectures are easy to understand and are well received by the students.
"You are a good kid. Now you have a little taste of returning to nature. As long as you continue on this path, you will be a senior technician in the near future."
As the boss of the training center, Liao Yongxin would listen to Du Shaojie's lectures almost every time.
After listening, he realized that his cheap apprentice had reached a height that he could not reach. The other party's cooking skills are now abandoning the part of showing off skills, and there is a little taste of "the great way is simple".
After the 20-day training period, the master and apprentice drank alone, and Liao Yongxin spoke his mind.
"It's not that exaggerated. I can only say that I have just touched the threshold of this realm."
Du Shaojie did not get inflated. He knew his own strength very well.
If he were to take the senior technician exam now, the probability of success would only be 50%. To be safe, he could only slowly hone his cooking skills. With his current strength, any improvement would be difficult.
After eating and drinking, Du Shaojie returned home.
Today, he and Liao Yongxin drank a bottle of white wine. Although he didn't react much, he still smelled of alcohol.
Wang Yuxiu scolded him a few times while making him a bowl of hangover soup.
"Mom, why hasn't Xiaomei come back yet?"
It was late, and after drinking a bowl of hangover soup, he found that Xiaomei hadn't come home yet.
"She's been very busy recently, working overtime and attending meetings all the time."
Wang Yuxiu responded with a smile. People of their generation would not take overtime as a big deal, and then went to do their own things.
After a while, Xiaomei walked into the house exhausted.
"Brother"
"Have you eaten?"
"Yes, I had a box lunch at work. Recently the bank has to meet the standards for acceptance, and there are a lot of things to do. I'm really tired. Brother, I won't talk to you for now, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
Du Xiaomei went upstairs immediately, not even having the strength to speak.
Du Shaojie regretted letting her be the branch manager, a small official who was busy all day long.
He then went to his room and had just taken a shower when he received a call from Pang Weidong.
"Ajie, the matter has been settled, and no one will bother us anymore."
"Then should I say congratulations?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my fault, I promise that similar things will not happen again in the future."
"Okay, Dongzi, who are we talking to? Don't think too much, and take a good rest recently."
The two chatted for a while and ended the call.
Du Shaojie was just thinking about practicing a few dishes in a simulated scene, but the phone rang again.
"Shaojie, woo woo woo, I'm in trouble."
The call was from Qi Yan, who didn't know what problem she had encountered and was obviously a little flustered.
"Yanzi, don't worry, talk slowly if you have anything to say."
Du Shaojie comforted the other party, and Qi Yan told the whole story. It
was a very simple thing. A group of colleagues went out to eat, and a male colleague drank a few more glasses of wine, so he confessed to Qi Yan under the influence of alcohol. Qi Yan had always claimed that she had a fiancé at school, but this person didn't give up and took this opportunity to pester her.
Qi Yan flatly refused, but she didn't expect this guy to dare to make a move.
As a result, she was beaten by her.
"How hard did you hit me?"
Du Shaojie suddenly had a bad premonition. Others didn't know, but he knew very well that Qi Yan was not easy to mess with. This guy has never suffered a loss in fighting since he was a child, otherwise how could he be called the "Big Sister of Chunfeng Lane" later?
"I kicked him there and the guy was hospitalized. I really didn't mean to do it, it was purely a stress reaction, but now I've been suspended and I might even have to face a lawsuit."
Qi Yan's kick was fierce enough, and the other party naturally couldn't swallow this breath.
The man is a local and his family has some skills, so Qi Yan is now unpredictable.
"Yanzi, don't be careful, you are right anyway. If I was there at the time, kicking him would be considered light. So, I'll find someone to help you settle this matter, and you can rest for a few days first."
Du Shaojie was speechless. How could he encounter such a thing.
At the same time, he also felt that some things could not be delayed any longer, and he had to find an opportunity to confront them. As for the consequences after the showdown, even he himself couldn't say for sure.
After hanging up, Du Shaojie called Pang Weidong.
Pang Weidong couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Ajie, you leave people in Beijing all day long and don't show up yourself. It's hard to guarantee that some people will have some ideas. Leave this matter to me, and I will definitely satisfy you in the future."
"Thank you, I will treat you to a drink in Beijing in a few days."
Du Shaojie needs to go to Shenzhen in the next two days. There are a lot of official business accumulated at the company that needs him to deal with.
Then he will rush to Beijing to visit and comfort Qi Yan.
The next day.
Du Shaojie, Wang Yongli, and Zou Xiaohe drove to Shenzhen.
Then he started to deal with official business, and it took only three days to deal with everything.
He was busy during the day these days, and he was not idle at night when he stayed at Liang Meiqin's place. He wanted to confront the other party, but Liang Meiqin was very sensitive and interrupted him directly every time.
"Shaojie, do whatever you want, don't tell me. As for me, I will never leave you for the rest of my life, unless you don't want me anymore."
Hearing these words, Du Shaojie didn't know what to say.
After finishing his work here, he returned to Yangcheng and flew to Beijing. Wang Yongli was traveling with him, while Zou Xiaohe stayed behind.
"Unconsciously, [Xichuan Restaurant] already has 19 stores."
During the flight, Du Shaojie had been resting his eyes, but in his heart he was thinking about the statistics he had seen in the past few days.
At present, the company's sub-brands, [Xichuan Restaurant] has 29 stores, [Northwest Noodle House] has 35 stores, and [Seafood House] has 4 stores.
He also has a [BBQ Restaurant], and has invested in a [Fish Restaurant], as well as [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot]. These are not counted for now, after all, they have not been collected under the name of the company.
Just say [Xichuan Restaurant], [Northwest Noodle House] and [Seafood House]. According to the current level of income, the net income brought to him each year is about 20 million yuan.
The company's turnover has long exceeded a small goal, and it is a well-deserved industry giant.
Du Shaojie feels that he can control the speed of expansion next and keep the current achievements first.
The plane arrived at Beijing Airport on time. When he walked out of the terminal, Yu Jianxin and his men were waiting outside.
"Boss Du, let's go eat first. I've already arranged it."
"Forget it. I have something else to do. Go and do your thing. We'll talk later."
Yu Jianxin brought Du Shaojie's car. Du Shaojie shook his head and drove away with Wang Yongli.
Qi Yan is in a low point now. The first thing he did when he arrived in Beijing was to comfort her.
When he arrived near Qi Yan's residence, Du Shaojie got out of the car and went upstairs alone.
"Shaojie, you are finally here. I've been bored to death these days."
After knocking on the door, Qi Yan dragged Du Shaojie into the house and hugged him tightly.
She has been having a bad time these days. Occasionally, she would be pointed at when she went to the unit. Now the police station has not come to a conclusion yet, so the unit can only delay the handling.
The man who was beaten is not letting go at home. He often goes to the unit to make trouble recently.
Fortunately, Qi Yan does not need to live in the dormitory, otherwise there is a high possibility of a second conflict.
"That family is shameless! Yanzi, don't worry, I will help you."
Du Shaojie patted Qi Yan on the back, reassuring her. (End of this chapter)
