The private treasure of the president of the wealthy family Ⅰ

Chapter 1164 One hour after a touch of red!

Liu Zhide was wearing a dark coat and his customary felt hat, with an old and haggard look on his face. Sitting on the sofa in the ward, he raised his head with doubts and nervousness, and looked at Wanqing in front of him. Meiling and the others held back for a while before asking in a strange and hoarse voice, "You...do you...need me for something?"

Leng Mohan personally brewed a cup of high-quality Biluochun tea from the side of the living room, held it respectfully in front of Liu Zhide, and said with a smile on his face, "Uncle Liu, I'm sorry, but it is such a cold and rainy day, I still treat you Come here... have a sip of hot tea first."

"Hey! Good... Thank you... Thank you, Vice President!" Hearing this, Liu Zhide calmed down, and with a modest smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to take the tea that Leng Mohan handed over, and he was indeed a little thirsty , because he heard that Tang Zhilong was in poor health and was hospitalized, he caught the earliest train and came up with his wife to visit! !

Leng Mohan sat on the sofa slowly, looked deeply at Liu Zhide sipping tea with dry mouth, respecting him as Tang Kexin's most respected uncle and Lin Chuya's future father-in-law, he reminded him with a smile: " Uncle, please drink slowly...be careful it burns..."

"I...I...I came here yesterday because I was worried...Tang...Chairman Tang...was on the train all the time, didn't sleep well!" Liu Zhide showed that simple and honest smile, with a bit of worry He held the cup with both hands, not afraid of being hot, just holding it like this.

"Uncle!" Wanqing looked at Liu Zhide, couldn't help laughing, and said with concern: "You...you are not afraid of scalding if you hold the cup like this?"

"Don't be afraid!!" Liu Zhide showed a simple and honest smile on his face again, looked at her and said, "We are chefs, and our palms are thick! We hold things that you usually think are hot, and it's fine. This is the kung fu acquired over the years !"

Wanqing looked at him deeply, nodded with a smile.

Leng Mohan listened to this very seriously, and said with a respectful smile on his face; "Uncle...have you been with Chairman Tang for many years?"

"It's been many years..." Liu Zhide talked about Tang Zhilong, his haggard and vicissitudes of face showed a bit of pity, and said: "We are country people, we got married early, had children early, and we didn't have much cultural background. When the whole family came to the city, they were cheated by relatives and had no money, so they hid by the side of the alley with a bag of peanuts to avoid the rain. Yahui was still very young at the time. We were so anxious! Fortunately, we met Chairman Tang. We called him the chef back then, and he happened to pass by the alley to feed the leftovers to the wild cats and saved us...Since then, I have been following him. Although he was young He is a few years older than me, but he is indeed a leader, and since then, I have made up my mind to learn how to be a chef with him!"

After hearing this, Wanqing nodded slightly, then looked at Liu Zhide and said, "Then...you know about the... red wine incident and the arson case... right?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhide's face turned slightly sad, and he pondered for a while, then sighed helplessly, and said, "I know a little about the red wine...but I definitely know about the arson case."

"Did...Chairman Tang tell you, or did you discover it yourself?" Wanqing asked softly again.

"I discovered it myself!" Liu Zhide said directly and affirmatively.

"Why?" Leng Mohan was a little surprised by the answer.

Liu Zhide paused for a while, and then said quietly: "Maybe I'm just a vulgar person, and I'm not qualified to have a relationship with Chef Tang! But it's true... Chef Tang himself said that he and I have a certain affinity, so our relationship has always been very close. Well, to describe it from the outside world, it’s like brotherhood! I’ve been with him for more than ten years, and I’ve seen everything! I know him better than anyone else! A person with a bad temper who throws things! So when the arson case happened, I was picking wild ingredients in other places. When I heard the testimony when I came back, I felt that there was something wrong! So I asked directly based on the relationship between everyone! He didn’t hide it from me! Knowing that I have always been loyal to Jinjin, I know best! So I told about the arson case! God knows, I was so tired of suppressing this secret at that time! After taking care of Yahui and Kexin with painstaking efforts, I hid in I've gone to the country. Every time I watch Chef Tang, I can't finish talking...but in the end I can't say anything..."

After Liu Zhide finished speaking, tears flickered in his eyes, and he said depressingly; "Poor Chef Tang has been in prison for 12 years. If the arson case hadn't happened back then, maybe he would be able to thrive now!"

Wanqing raised her head, looked at Liu Zhide and asked doubtfully, "Uncle!! Chairman Tang hasn't encountered any troublesome things since the red wine incident?"

Liu Zhide raised his head to look at Leng Mohan, shook his head and said, "No! Except for some disputes in the family, everything has been fine!"

"Family dispute!" Leng Mohan caught these four words and asked.

Liu Zhide nodded, looked at Leng Mohan, and said, "Think about it...Chef Tang was originally supposed to be the chairman of Universal. That's such a prestigious identity. After the sudden incident, everything changed, including the family members. The living conditions have also changed! Mrs. Tang... is a little bit critical, which is understandable. Mrs. Tang does not want to be rich and powerful, but Chairman Tang has inexplicably assumed the charge of global corruption, and any wife may not be able to accept it .”

Leng Mohan nodded slightly.

"Then..." Wanqing looked deeply at Liu Zhide and asked, "How did Chairman Tang get along with his subordinates in the hotel?"

"Get along very well!" Liu Zhide said directly and affirmatively: "He is a good boss who is almost impossible to find fault with! He speaks calmly and calmly, respects others, and is more considerate of his subordinates. Although rewards and punishments are clearly defined, as long as the chef selected by him, There will be almost no major problems! This is also the good vision of the chef! He said that the work of the chef is full of enthusiasm and fast pace! Therefore, without patience and good character, there is no way to cook wonderful food Food! That's why, before the chef can really cook, he must be a side dish for five or six years! Because...the basic skills are tested, and patience and determination are also tested!"

Wanqing heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, she looked at Liu Zhide and said quietly; "If this is the case... do you think, in the kitchen... will there be incidents of chefs knocking and smashing things, such as holding spoons and throwing them around? Falling or something?"

"Impossible!" Liu Zhide said quickly!

"Why?" Wanqing asked urgently.

Liu Zhide looked at Wanqing with a serious expression, and said: "You may not understand!! In fact, the general kitchen of a big hotel has a very detailed division of labor! Each chef will lead two to three chef assistants to be responsible for the food they cook! !It looks like one, but it's not one!"

"You mean..." Wanqing looked directly at Liu Zhide and said; "In a kitchen, every chef has his own team, so who does what is wrong and who is doing what is right are all under everyone's eyelids. Bottom! No one wants to lose face, everyone wants to show off! I'm even more afraid... If they behave indiscreetly or inappropriately, they will be caught by the other party!"

"Yes!" Liu Zhide quickly looked at Wanqing and said; "They still have mutual scruples! Chef Tang should properly let them supervise and restrain each other!"

"Then..." Wanqing slowly took out the photo that Meiling had cut and printed out, and asked Liu Zhide, "Uncle!! Look at this cut mark, we found it at the explosion site! What do you think... …Is it possible that outside the double door, the chef threw things indiscriminately because of his temper, and got here?”

Liu Zhide looked at the dark picture, although he was very old, but he still roughly remembered some basic decorations back then, and said with a strange look on his face, "This scratch was not caused by our chef's tableware!"

"Do you know how it came here?" Wanqing suddenly felt a punch in the heart! !

"I guess..." Liu Zhide squinted his eyes deeply, looked at the blurry picture carefully, and could only make a preliminary guess: "This is the crimson box bound with wire!"

"A crimson box!!" Wanqing read these five words deeply, looked at him and quickly asked: "You...the kitchen department also has a crimson box!? What is that used for? "

"The inspection form for the gas pipeline! There are two copies of the inspection form!! One is to be sent back to the gas company, and the other is to be put in the box. At the end of the month, our executive chef department has to keep the bottom for itself! The chef I will also browse habitually... After all, it is related to safety!" Liu Zhide said quickly!

"The crimson box..." Leng Mohan read these words silently, his eyes flickering on Meiling's body.

Meiling browsed through all the certificates immediately, and she found a crimson box. She immediately raised her head and said quickly: "There is indeed a crimson box!! There are still some burnt documents in it!!"

"Is that box easy to fall off?" Leng Mo coldly picked up the photo with the box, narrowed his eyes, and found the biggest clue! !

"It's not easy! But if you want to knock it down, it's always possible!" Liu Zhide said the answer according to his own speculation! !

Leng Mohan looked deeply at the box in the photo, his face suddenly trembled with excitement, but he didn't speak, but stood up slowly, suppressing his emotions at first, and thanking Liu Zhide for coming here today Let me ask him to go back to rest now, and when there is something he doesn't understand that day, he may have to ask him some questions...

Liu Zhide had no choice but to stand up with a simple and honest smile, and said politely, if there is a need for him, just say it...

Leng Mohan and Wanqing got up to see him off in person, after seeing this honest old man turn around and walk out slowly...

Wanqing just turned around and looked at her brother!

Leng Mohan answered his younger sister's question, flipped through the photo with a whoosh, stared at his younger sister and said, "The answer... is right here!"

Wanqing looked at the picture, her face suddenly showed excitement, longing for this is the last chance! !

"What do you mean?" Meiling and Qingping immediately came to the crimson box, browsed left and right, and didn't think there was any problem, so they looked up at Leng Mohan and shouted, "Boss!! What is in this box?" Secret?"

Leng Mohan turned his face slowly, looked at Meiling and Qingping and said quietly, "Look at this palm-sized box, how is it different from other things in this kitchen?"

"What's the difference?" Meiling and Qingping stared wide-eyed, looked left and right at the box, it was also pitch-black, but they could still find a touch of red at the bottom, and then said strangely; "There is no difference! ?”

"How can there be no difference?" Leng Mohan looked directly at Meiling and Qingping excitedly, and quickly said: "This box was obviously knocked down, causing scratches on the steel pipe!! And the most important thing is , he is not a chef!! So the moment he knocked down the box, he didn’t hang it back up again, but hid it, so that when the fire burned up, it was not completely burned! So under the box... still There is a touch of red!!"

Meiling and Qingping's eyes widened when they heard this, and they couldn't help shouting: "That is to say!!! Indeed, a third person has entered the kitchen!"
