Go to work in the afternoon.
Dong Xuebin drove from Li's Restaurant back to the Guangming Street Office not far across the alley. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw many department staff casting frightened looks at him.
"Do you understand? Something happened to our new director again."
"Something happened again? What happened? Tell me."
"At noon, there was a wedding banquet at the home of the director of Ping'an Street. The mayor of Yuehua District and the wife of the secretary of the district committee were all there."
"I know that. I just heard a cannon being fired. What happened next?"
"Then our director ordered a dish for them and called the woman forty."
"What kind of dish is this? I've never heard of it."
"Ahem, it's actually just a piece of tofu."
"Damn it! A woman in her forties? A scumbag? Who thought of the name of this dish! Then Director Dong didn't offend people to death? Isn't this harming our director?"
, "Isn't that right? I heard that Mrs. Yan's face changed immediately."
, "That's, isn't this a curse?"
, "This is an unforeseen disaster. Who would have thought it was a plate of tofu dregs."
Although Dong Xuebin didn't hear everyone's discussion, he knew from his expression that what happened at the wedding banquet had spread. He looked even worse. After returning to his office, he lit up his cigarette and took a few puffs, and began to think about what had just happened. The more I thought about what happened at the dinner, the more wrong it became. The more I thought about it, the more I frowned. Since the restaurant owner Li Lu knew that Mrs. Yan and District Chief Geng were present, and since he personally went to the kitchen to supervise the banquet, and since he paid so much attention to this banquet, how could he not Do you know that this dish cannot be served to a woman in her forties on such an occasion
Couldn't he see it when the food was served? And that Chu Qinghua, he was standing by while he was ordering. The Chu family must have ordered the dishes at the wedding banquet one by one in advance. Chu Qinghua must have read the recipes of Li's Restaurant. How come Chu Qinghua didn't know that a woman in her forties This dish? If you knew, why didn't you remind him
Something happened inside
Dong Xuebin squinted his eyes and called Zhou Yanru. "Director Zhou, come to my office." "
Two minutes later, Zhou Yanru quickly knocked on the door and came in. "Director, are you looking for me?" "
, "Sit down and talk." Dong Xuebin pressed his hands and asked, "I just came back from the wedding banquet at Director Chu's house on Ping'an Street. It was very lively.
Zhou Yanru said, "I heard about it too. It seems that Director Chu's son is getting married, right?"
It is said that? like? Dong Xuebin read something wrong again. It stands to reason that they are so close to each other on the street. How come most people on our street not only did not receive the invitation, but they seemed not to even know about it? Is Wang Yuling the only one who was sent the invitation? Geng Xinke should have taken it too," but he didn't go
"Dong Xuebin, look at her" "Do you know Director Chu?" "
Zhou Yanru blinked and said thoughtfully: "It's okay. Director Chu has been the director of Pingan Street for four or five years, but, well, how should I put it?" Haha, the relationship with our street there has always been... not easy to deal with. "
Don’t deal with it? Dong Xuebin asked curiously: "Oh? Tell me."
Zhou Yanru didn’t hide it. “That’s right, the relationship between Ran Men Street and them has deteriorated.” After two years of fighting, a murder occurred on the west bank of the river. A young man was killed and his body was floating on the river. The people who reported the crime at the time were Ping An Residents on the street called the police when they saw the body, but when the Ping An Street [Police Station] rushed over, they did not recover the body. Several [civilian] policemen stood on the river waiting, and I heard they were smoking and chatting. Very laid back. "
, "What are you waiting for?" Dong Xuebin frowned.
Zhou Yanru also had annoyance in her eyes when she talked about this, "The river is the dividing line between our street and Ping'an Street. The river is the boundary. To be precise, when the division was originally made, the center of the river was the boundary. If the body floats to the river, This side is our case, and if it floats over to them, it is their case. Generally, it is difficult to obtain evidence for this kind of murder case. Their [Police Station] does not want to take it over, for fear of affecting the case detection rate, etc." Anyway, just stand there. We waited there for a long time, and then the body floated to our side." Then they called Director Peng and asked us to accept the case. They turned around and left without any further concern. Tell me, is there anything like this? This is Homicide! They don’t take human life seriously!”
Dong Xuebin's face turned gloomy. He couldn't listen to this either. What kind of [police] is this? They don't care when they see dead people
"Is there still this matter?"
Zhou Yanru nodded and said, "Everyone in our street knows exactly what happened. Many residents saw it at that time. Since then, something happened. Later, our relationship with Ping An Street deteriorated sharply, which was very bad. "Generally speaking, people in official circles will give a discount when talking. Since she said it was very bad, it means it is basically bad.
Dong Xuebin's eyelids sank. No wonder Chu Qinghua's son didn't invite him to his wedding. No wonder there were no other people from the Guangming Street Office except Wang Yuling at the wedding banquet. As expected, there had been conflicts between the two streets before, and the conflicts were not even minor. .
After Zhou Yanru left, Dong Xuebin leaned against the window sill of the office alone.
If this is the case, then the misunderstanding about serving lunch is probably not a misunderstanding at all!
Through Sister Zhou's words, Dong Xuebin finally figured out a clue. Chu Qinghua must have known about the dish "Woman Forty" at that time. When Dong Xuebin ordered it, he watched with cold eyes. Later, the dish came out of the back kitchen. I believe that the restaurant owner Li Lu cannot be unaware of this. Since Chu Qinghua chose Li's Restaurant, his relationship with Li Lu must be okay. Li Lu most likely asked Chu Qinghua for permission. Not only did Chu Qinghua not stop him, but he also After discussing with Li Lu, they deliberately made this dish look ugly and served it on purpose? I remember that Chu Qinghua took the initiative to mention this dish and repeatedly told the waiter that this was not what we ordered. Only later did the waiter explain the name of the dish! Putting Dong Xuebin into an embarrassing situation! In the end, Chu Qinghua didn’t even try to smooth things over, he patted his butt and left! Li Lu's later attitude towards Dong Xuebin was not to give any face at all! The owner of a small restaurant cannot be so confident!
paralysis! Misunderstand? Nonsense!
It was Chu Qinghua and Li Lu who wanted to trick Dong Xuebin!
He deliberately wanted to make Dong Xuebin look bad in front of Geng Yuehua and Mrs. Yan and let him sit on the wax!
Dong Xuebin just wanted to understand. He slapped the table and wanted to use this to make me look embarrassed? Let the district leaders have opinions on our Guangming Street Office? Borrow the district leader's hand on me? You guys have gone too far in bullying me! Is the plot against my brother? And he used such despicable means!
Fuck you!
Dong Xuebin exploded immediately. What he hates most in his life is someone sneaking up and having sex behind his back, and then greeting him with a smile afterwards, as if nothing happened!
Li Lu, Li Lu!
Chu Qinghua, Chu Qinghua!
You guys are looking for death!
