Chapter 600 Feng Gan's Questioning
A few days later.
The story of Xinglong Restaurant and Zuijiang Restaurant spread throughout Yunhe County.
Xinglong Restaurant proved its innocence in front of Zuijianglou, demonstrating its strength to everyone.
The business of Zuijianglou has plummeted, and there are faint signs that it will close down.
At this moment, Xinglong Restaurant was bustling with people and launched a new dim sum that surpassed Peach Blossom Pastry.
As Wan Qiqi left home for the restaurant, the entire route was filled with discussions about the two shops.
When they returned to Xinglong Restaurant, the discussion continued.
Wan Qiqi couldn't help but admire the speed at which people in ancient times could gossip, which was comparable to that of modern times.
When Wu Gousheng saw Wan Qiqi coming over, he immediately greeted her with a smile, "Sister Qi, you're getting up later and later, aren't you worried about the restaurant anymore!"
"With you all here, what do I have to worry about?" Wan Qiqi tilted her head and smiled as she walked upstairs. "Xinglong Restaurant has established itself in Yunhe County and has a stable customer base, so there's no need to worry so much about business."
“That’s true, but I think the government’s sentence in the Niuyi case was too lenient; they only gave him a few dozen lashes.” Wu Gousheng lowered his head, dissatisfied.
“Niu Yi’s mistake was gambling. He was used by Zuijianglou, and the poison had nothing to do with him.” When Wan Qiqi walked to the second floor, some familiar guests greeted her, and she immediately put on her signature smile.
"Boss Qin, you've arrived! Please enjoy your food and drinks. I'll have the kitchen send you some cold drinks; they're new products, and no one else gets to try them..."
After exchanging pleasantries with the guest and escorting him into the private room, Wan Qiqi's smile faded somewhat.
"The accomplice who administered the drugs has been caught, so why can't they be identified during interrogation? Even the people in the county government's criminal investigation department..."
Before Wu Gousheng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wan Qiqi.
"Shh! Don't gossip about the government in public. If you have any complaints, talk about them in private." Wan Qiqi noticed that the window that should have been opened was not, so she pushed it open. "Also, Brother Qi is in charge of the interrogation room, so there is no bribery involved."
Wu Gousheng: "..."
It was Sister Qi who said not to discuss official matters in public, but now she's talking about bribery. Is that appropriate?
But he quickly realized, "Sis, you mean there's something wrong with this guy, that he wouldn't talk?"
Wan Qiqi glanced back at Wu Gousheng, a hint of admiration in her eyes, "Guess whose person he is?"
Wu Gousheng lowered his head and carefully counted the people who had a falling out with Xinglong Restaurant. Suddenly, a fair-skinned face appeared in his mind.
He hurriedly caught up with Wan Qiqi and asked in a low voice, "Tang Qiwen?"
"You're quite smart," Wan Qiqi praised.
Although there were no obvious clues pointing to Tang Qiwen, in Wan Qiqi's opinion, Tang Qiwen couldn't possibly be that honest.
"Tang Qiwen is collaborating with Zuijianglou?" Wu Gousheng asked.
"Not necessarily, after all, they probably don't like each other." Wan Qiqi said as she walked towards the second-floor terrace.
Wu Gousheng was still somewhat puzzled: would Zuijianglou look down on Tang Qiwen?
Then he remembered that He Feiyi came from Liangzhou, and he seemed to have heard that his brother-in-law had some skills in Liangzhou.
Is it because of this?
Before he could ask any more questions, Wan Qiqi had already disappeared from his sight.
Second floor terrace.
Zhou Yating had heard about this place a few days earlier and had come here, but she hadn't run into Wan Qiqi. Today, she finally met her and hurried over to greet her.
"Wan-meimei, what have you been busy with these past few days? I haven't seen you at all. Is something wrong at home?"
"No, I went out to buy some things, so I'm not here." Wan Qiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling.
Actually, she didn't buy much; it's just that she had her period and was feeling lazy, so she didn't come to the restaurant as often.
In addition, she contacted Lin Dazhuang to inquire about the progress of the vegetables she was growing, which is why she was never at the restaurant.
In the end, it counts as procurement, not lying.
"That's good." Zhou Wanting breathed a sigh of relief, took Wan Qiqi's hand and sat down to the side. "I didn't expect Zuijianglou to frame you. I bought so many pastries from them before and supported their business."
"Many things are uncertain, and people's hearts are fickle. We should just stick to being ourselves."
This has always been Wan Qiqi's philosophy.
She doesn't cause trouble, but she's not afraid of trouble either.
If anyone touches someone she cares about or obstructs her from doing what she wants, she will make that person pay the price.
Manager Lü is a pawn abandoned by Zuijianglou, a sacrifice to save the king, which is not the outcome Wan Qiqi wanted to see.
However, the sharp decline in Zuijianglou's business has brought fresh blood to Xinglong Restaurant, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
When Wan Qiqi is with Zhou Wanting, she exudes a more feminine charm and gentleness.
But once Zhou Wanting left, Wan Qiqi reverted to her old ways, becoming carefree and unrestrained, lacking any feminine gentleness.
Wan Qiqi prefers to grow wildly and dislikes being constrained by worldly conventions, which also means that she is not accepted by this era and it is difficult for her to realize her ideals.
After seeing Zhou Wanting off, Wan Qiqi was greeted by a person who gave her a major headache.
"Wan Qiqi, such a big thing happened at the restaurant, why didn't you tell me?"
"Wan Qiqi, I am also the owner of this restaurant. Do you even respect me?"
"Wan Qiqi... Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you running so fast?"
"Wan Qiqi..."
Feng Gan's chatter, as incessant as a gossip, made Wan Qiqi's nerves, which had only relaxed for two days, tense up again, and she had a faint premonition of a headache.
Feng Gancai ignored all of that and chased after Wan Qiqi all the way up to the third floor.
Feng Gan usually seems easy to deal with, but today Wu Gousheng couldn't stop him.
Only now did Wu Gousheng realize that Feng Gan was quite skilled in martial arts, and that he was no match for him at all...
Feng Gan turned around and pointed at Wu Gousheng, saying coldly, "Stand still, don't force me to use force. I just want to say a few words to her, I'm not going to eat her. What are you doing following me? Go do your own thing!"
