Chapter 400 Chef Du who bears grudges
"Leader Jiang is in Jincheng now, and he is a big leader in the local area. If you go to him, won't everything be solved? I have something else to do here. Let's do this for now and talk later."
Cai Jing hung up the phone quickly, as if she was too lazy to pay attention to this trivial matter.
Du Shaojie slowly put down the receiver and couldn't help shaking his head. It can be seen that Cai Jing didn't care much about this matter. In the eyes of the other party, this matter was really not a big deal.
It seemed a bit of an overreaction to go to Jiang Cheng for such a small matter. He planned to wait and see.
"Mr. Du, the police station wants Yongjun's ID."
Du Shaojie and others changed hotels, and Wang Yongli left his room phone number to the police station. After all, this matter is not over yet, and it is right to keep in touch.
As a result, he just received a call from the police station, saying that the other party wanted Peng Yongjun's ID.
"Give it to them, you go there."
Du Shaojie didn't think much about it, and then asked Wang Yongli to send Peng Yongjun's ID card and home return permit.
When the police saw these two things, they were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Peng Yongjun was not from the mainland, but from Hong Kong.
When they were questioning him before, the address he gave was in Guangzhou, but there was such a big discrepancy.
It's not that Hong Kong people have any privileges, but some things are not easy to handle.
"Who is the boss Du you are protecting?"
The police stopped Wang Yongli and asked about Du Shaojie's identity.
Du Shaojie reported his real name and address, saying that he was a businessman, and didn't say anything else. The police felt that something was wrong. They were not stupid. Wang Yongli and Peng Yongjun were obviously the other party's subordinates. His identity was suspicious.
"Mr. Du is the chairman of [Shencheng Bailian Catering Company], which owns multiple brands such as [Xichuan Restaurant], [Seafood House], [Xiangweiju], and [Northwest Noodle House].
He is also a [cooking technician], a [Sichuan cuisine master], and the president of the Yangcheng Catering Association. Our visit to Jincheng this time was a routine job, but we ran into such a thing."
Wang Yongli knew from the look on his face that the police station actually knew nothing about his and his people's identities.
So he did not hide it and told Du Shaojie's identity in detail.
Bailian Catering is currently one of the top catering giants in China, with stores all over the country. It is a very powerful Hong Kong-funded enterprise.
After Wang Yongli left, the case handler hurriedly reported the matter to his superiors.
Now, the police station is the one with a headache, after all, it is the provocateurs who said that Peng Yongjun injured people, and the evidence is not good enough. I thought they were just a few ordinary outsiders, but who would have thought they were so powerful.
The station had previously thought of suppressing the smashed beef noodle restaurant and making the provocateurs pay some money. The outsiders were used as a pretext to appease the provocateurs, and the method of making a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of a big deal was adopted.
The owner of the beef noodle restaurant knew that the provocateurs were rather wild, and he planned to swallow his anger. But he firmly refused to testify against Peng Yongjun and others, which put the institute in
a passive position. The institute held an emergency meeting, and before the report was submitted for compulsory measures, there was still room for recovery.
Then, the phone in the institute kept ringing.
There were calls from various stores who asked for connections, and calls from the city's catering association, including some influential people.
"Then suspend the compulsory measures on the grounds of insufficient evidence."
In view of the great pressure, Peng Yongjun was finally released in the evening.
Wang Yongli, who received the notice, drove to pick up the other party, and Du Shaojie directly set up a table at the most famous restaurant in Jincheng to calm him down.
Although Du Shaojie was not a qualified businessman, he also knew that he must be good to his personal assistants, drivers, and bodyguards. Putting himself in their shoes, these people were always worried about his safety, so he couldn't have said nothing.
"Yongjun, you did a good job this time, and Yongli and the others, you will all be rewarded when you go back. Now let's not talk about anything, just drink and eat."
Du Shaojie learned why Peng Yongjun was released through Wang Yongli's narration.
In the final analysis, it was because of his and Peng Yongjun's identities, especially his own identity played a decisive role.
In addition, he had established a certain network of contacts with the store manager here, and with the support of the Jincheng Catering Association, the institute did not dare to report the handling opinions without sufficient evidence.
Du Shaojie was thinking while drinking, wondering how the provocateur was handled?
To be honest, if there was no provocateur to smash the store, the subsequent events would not have happened. He and Peng Yongjun and others were absolutely innocent, but they almost went to jail.
It was really abominable.
However, it was not easy for him to intervene in this matter, so he thought about it and let it go.
The next day.
Du Shaojie hosted a banquet for the people of the Jincheng Catering Association at [Xichuan Restaurant]. The other party lent a hand when they just met, and they should indeed be thanked.
"President Du, our association has plans to promote [Jincheng Beef Noodles] nationwide. Please take care of us when the time comes."
President Guo raised his glass and clinked it with Du Shaojie.
Du Shaojie agreed readily, but he was thinking in his heart that the [Beef Noodle Shops] that will be opened all over the country in the future are not authentic [Jincheng Beef Noodles]. The turbid noodle soup and two or three slices of beef as thin as paper are simply a typical example of bad money driving out good money.
But he won't say this, and no one will believe it if he says it.
After the inspection work here was over, Du Shaojie went to see Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng was very happy and kept saying that Du Shaojie was not nice enough to not contact him for such a long time. The two also had a meal together. As part of the chat, Du Shaojie talked about his experience in Jincheng this time.
"Everything has been resolved. I will leave tomorrow."
Du Shaojie couldn't swallow this breath after all, and before leaving, he tripped the provocateur of the day.
It may be useful or not, he doesn't care, he just does it according to his mood.
After Du Shaojie left Jincheng, Jiang Cheng summoned the heads of relevant departments and ordered them to deal with the matter seriously. The provocateur was severely punished, and the relevant parties also sent a notice to Du Shaojie through [Xichuan Restaurant].
Du Shaojie was not aware of this matter. At this time, the two cars were driving on the vast Gobi Desert.
He learned about this situation when he arrived in Xijiang. Peng Yongjun and others were very happy and took the boss to drink all night.
As the provincial capital of Xijiang, the city also opened [Xichuan Restaurant], [Seafood House], [Xiangweiju] and [Northwest Noodle House]. These brands have taken root all over the country and their influence is expanding.
Du Shaojie inspected the stores and was basically satisfied.
"Boss, I always heard people talk about [Roast Whole Lamb] before. If you have a chance, can you take us to see it?"
Chunfeng Lane has changed a lot and looks much cleaner and tidier.
Several people lived in Du Shaojie's two courtyards, and Zhong Qing suddenly made a request.
"It's no big deal. I'll prepare in the next two days and ask someone to buy a good fat sheep."
Du Shaojie had no objection. He just wanted to practice his barbecue skills, so he agreed without hesitation.
Of course, it would be fine if we went directly to the mountains. It's okay
if there are no professional equipment in the mountains. We can use the method of open fire roasting, but it's a little troublesome and requires higher skills.
Thinking of this, he had a new idea.
"Yongli, it's rare for you guys to come to Xijiang. Why don't we go around together?"
All the family members left Xijiang, and there were not many relatives and friends left. He suddenly wanted to go to Laolonghe Farm.
Next, Wang Yongli and others went to check the condition of the car and did maintenance. Du Shaojie went to buy a lot of things and prepared to take them on the road. Even he himself didn't know how long it would take for this trip.
Although he was born and raised here, there are actually many places he has never been to.
"Let's go!"
[Xichuan Restaurant] specially customized a small barbecue stove for Du Shaojie and installed it in the trunk.
Early that morning, the two cars drove out of Chunfeng Lane and gradually moved away from the city.
"The farm I used to stay in is in front of me. The road used to be full of potholes, but now it's much easier to walk on."
The car got off the national highway and headed towards the Laolonghe Farm.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, Du Shaojie was filled with emotion, and then introduced it to Zou Xiaohe and others.
They didn't know Du Shaojie's past, and they were quite surprised to hear that the boss had stayed in the farm.
The two cars arrived at the farm quickly. The original canteen was still there, but the farm office and living area had changed.
The car stopped in the open space, and Du Shaojie got out of the car. People passing by looked at them curiously.
He realized that there was no one he knew here.
"Excuse me, who is in charge of the farm now?"
Du Shaojie stopped an uncle and asked with a smile.
"A farm is a farm, and there is no superior unit. In the past, the farm was directly under the Electric Power Industry Bureau. Later, they sold the farm and it is now called [Xinnong Technology Company]."
The uncle introduced it with a smile. The farm is now an agricultural company with a large number of shareholders and is a separately accounted enterprise.
The superior unit no longer exists.
"Thank you, goodbye!"
Du Shaojie thanked him and strolled slowly in the farm.
After a while, someone from the farm office came to ask a few questions, and he was very polite. Nowadays, people who drive two nice cars around the city are not to be trifled with.
"I have stayed in the farm for a few years before. This time I just came to take a look. Nothing else."
"Okay, take your time. I won't bother you anymore."
The person from the farm office responded with a smile, and then turned and left.
Du Shaojie walked around, and there were memories of those years everywhere. In the end, he sat by the river for a long time, and then left in a car.
The past is like smoke, and many things are difficult to find again.
He and Wang Liwen have seldom contacted each other in recent years, but at the beginning, the two of them clung to each other under difficult conditions. Even if they are estranged, no one can forget each other.
Wang Liwen is a bachelor, and the two did not plan to live together for the rest of their lives from the beginning.
But there are some regrets after all.
