Chapter 418: The Caught Silly Man

"A small vendor." Director Ma nodded. He was just being polite. Li Shengli's invitation to dinner was not enough for them to investigate others just for Li Shengli.

But what Lee Seung-ri said is very true, and we are all smart people. Before Lee Seung-ri produced his spicy strips, no one called to report him. It was only after he produced his barbecue seasoning that people called to report him.

Based on this alone, anyone with a little common sense would know that it must be their newly produced barbecue seasoning that affected other people's business.

The people at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau have some understanding of this, but they don't have enough staff, and they really can't muster the energy to handle a small case like this.

Director Ma plans to go back and take another look. If someone calls anonymously to report that Li Shengli's factory uses substandard materials, then the people from their Industrial and Commercial Bureau will definitely have to go out and investigate.

"Then thank you for your help, Director Ma."

Lee Seung-ri is not a god, and he doesn't know who is anonymously calling to report him. He has some guesses, and it can only be said that this person is a grudge against him or the barbecue seller.

Just like Lee Seung-ri said, he has no evidence. If Lee Seung-ri is a big villain, he should find someone to set a trap for Bang Geng, just like there was a good story in a movie about a batch of very cheap beef.

But this idea is too damaging and a bit unethical. The sticky beef offended Lee Seung-ri but the other diners did not offend Lee Seung-ri. What if someone gets sick after eating the problematic beef and something happens? Lee Seung-ri will feel bad. It is not worth ruining his reputation for a small sticky beef.

Li Shengli and Director Ma of the Industry and Commerce Bureau finished their meal. Director Ma also gave Li Shengli a guarantee that if they received another anonymous call reporting Li Shengli's factory, they would conduct a surprise inspection of the barbecue stalls in the entire area.

How can I put it? Those small vendors outside always do something against the rules, and usually they are fined or have their tools confiscated.

Director Ma will put pressure on these small vendors within their authority.

After getting the guarantee from Director Ma, Li Shengli felt a moment of silence for those small vendors. Whether it was Bang Geng or other small vendors who called anonymously to report him, this had offended the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

The next two days were quite quiet. I don’t know if Banggeng had any premonition, but he didn’t call to report Li Shengli’s factory so quickly this time.

In Lou Xiao'e's restaurant, Sha Zhu, Liu Lan and others became more and more outrageous.

They didn't know whether they thought the manager didn't care whether they brought things home or not. Liu Lan still knew how to cover it up a little, but Sha Zhu didn't think so. When he was at the steel mill, he carried a lunch box all day long, for fear that others would not know that he brought things home.

That day he was preparing to go home with two lunch boxes filled with braised spare ribs and Dongpo pork elbow.

I should say he is worthy of being a great chef. The fragrance can be smelled from far away.

Sha Zhu didn't think much about it and happened to meet the manager of the restaurant when he went out.

Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed at first, but he didn't think it was a serious matter.

"Master He, what's in your lunch box?"

To be honest, the restaurant manager that Lou Xiao'e found looked down on Sha Zhu and his group of chefs.

The news that Sha Zhu brought lunch boxes home from the restaurant had actually spread throughout the restaurant, but the restaurant manager never caught them. Now Sha Zhu just happened to be caught in the crossfire.

"Oh, nothing, just two empty lunch boxes."

Sha Zhu also knew that this matter could not be told to anyone, as the restaurant had a rule that food could not be taken out from the kitchen.

Sha Zhu originally thought that people would stop questioning him after he said that. The people from the Security Department he met on the road when he was investigating the steel plant said the same thing.

It's just that he didn't take out as much as he did this time when he was in the steel mill. "Master He, please open the lunch box and let me take a look."

The manager didn't expect that Sha Zhu was so bold and lied openly in front of him. The smell of meat in his lunch box wafted far away.

"Manager, this is not necessary."

Of course Shazhu couldn't open the lunch box, as it was important to avoid being caught in the act.

"Master He, the food in your lunch box should be the food packed from the kitchen."

The manager thought to himself that he had finally caught you, a rat who was stealing food from the restaurant.

She had reported this to Lou Xiao'e before, but Lou Xiao'e did not punish Sha Zhu because she knew him and he had good craftsmanship.

"What restaurant food? It's empty here."

Sha Zhu was lying with his eyes open. One could tell from his two heavy lunch boxes that they were full of food, not to mention the smell in the air.

"Open it and let me see." The restaurant manager said relentlessly. She was determined to find evidence of it today.

There was no way Sha Zhu would open his lunch box, so the two of them just stood there in a stalemate.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, a beautifully dressed woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses came out from the side. This person was Lou Xiao'e.

"What are you doing?" Lou Xiao'e asked puzzledly as she looked at the two people who were confronting each other.

"Boss, Chef He brought two full lunch boxes of food from the kitchen." The restaurant manager took the initiative to accuse Sha Zhu of breaking the hotel's rules.

"Sha Zhu, I won't say anything about you bringing things home from the steel mill before, but now my store has a rule that you are not allowed to bring things home." Lou Xiao'e is now a successful businesswoman. Not to mention that her relationship with Sha Zhu has always been bad, even if their relationship is still good, this violates the rules of the kitchen.

"Lou Xiao'e, you know that there are more than ten people in my family now. It's not very convenient to cook at home every day." Sha Zhu thought that all people were like him and would provide for the elderly they met and knew.

Lou Xiao'e was completely confused after hearing this. So what if you, Shazhu, have a whole family? Even if it's inconvenient to cook, you can't take things from the restaurant.

"Sha Zhu, where do so many people come from in your family?" Lou Xiao'e calculated that even if Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were married, there would only be six people in their family, so where did ten people come from?

Lou Xiao'e had originally intended to give Sha Zhu some face and not make a fuss about it this time.

"Well, there are a lot of people. There are six in our family, one in the eldest uncle's family, and three boys in the second uncle's family. None of them cares about their parents, so there are two of them. The situation in the third uncle's family is the same as the second uncle's family, and there are two of them. That adds up to more than ten people."

Sha Zhu also realized that Lou Xiao'e had no intention of making a fuss with him.

"Silly Zhu, you can't bring food from the kitchen anymore. If you do it again, one month's salary will be deducted from your salary. This time, your salary will not be deducted, but the price of the food will be deducted from your salary."

Originally, Lou Xiao'e didn't plan to make a fuss with Sha Zhu, but she didn't expect Sha Zhu to say that these dishes were to be taken back to feed a few uncles. It would be fine for others, but Liu Haizhong was going to bring people to raid his house. If Li Shengli hadn't tipped him off in advance, their family might have been arrested by Liu Haizhong long ago.

How could Lou Xiao'e possibly let Sha Zhu bring food back for Liu Haizhong?
