Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

There are more than a hundred contestants in this chef competition. Although it cannot be said that every one of them has special skills, there are no weak ones.

The fact that Sha Zhu was able to break through the siege and reach the finals undoubtedly shows that he has the ability.

"Chairman, the chef just asked if you need dinner prepared for you!"

Lou Xiao'e waved her hands quickly, "That's not necessary, let him have a good rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a dark shadow appear at the door.

"Ok?"

Lou Xiao'e looked up in surprise; that person turned out to be Qin Huairu.

Lou Xiao'e stood up subconsciously, feeling a little guilty...

"Huai Ru? Why are you here? Come in and sit down!"

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e subconsciously glanced back, and Wang Xiaoting turned around and went to the kitchen to report the news.

There were more than just her and Sha Zhu in the restaurant at the moment. She felt a little guilty but was not afraid.

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly and walked into the house with heavy steps.

"Excuse me, Xiao'e!"

Lou Xiao'e was shocked by this remark. So polite?

Not so!

"Come sit down, Huairu. Go make me some tea. This is new tea for my office!"

Lou Xiao'e was also willing to spend money on the chef's woman.

It can be said that Qin Huairu has made a huge contribution to Sha Zhu's career.

"Shazhu is in the kitchen, I'll go call him!"

As soon as the two sat down and looked at each other, they felt extremely awkward, so they had to go find someone to get up quickly.

Qin Huairu stopped the man directly.

"No, I'm not here to see him!"

Qin Huairu looked at Lou Xiao'e with a smile on her face, which made Lou Xiao'e feel uneasy.

"Um...looking for me? Something?"

Seeing Qin Huairu's smiling face, Lou Xiao'e's heart was beating fast. What the hell, Shazhu is in the kitchen, why don't you look for him but me? Why?

Lou Xiao'e was scratching her fingers in embarrassment, and Qin Huairu was hesitant to speak, not knowing how to start.

"Sister Qin, have some tea!"

Fortunately, when both of them were embarrassed and at a loss, Wang Xiaoting brought tea.

Holding the hot tea in my hand, the words came to my lips but I couldn't say them.

The two of them stood there awkwardly, smiling awkwardly. Wang Xiaoting noticed something was wrong and had to speak out.

"Sister Qin, if you have something to say, just tell me. There's no one else here. The chef is in the kitchen with two apprentices. I have something else to do, so I'll go there first!"

After saying that, Wang Xiaoting turned around and left, leaving enough space for the two.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Qin Huairu expectantly, but her heart was in turmoil.

Qin Huairu finished a cup of tea with her fingers interlocked, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "Xiao'e, you have such a big business, you should know some big leaders!"

Big leader?

These words undoubtedly surprised Lou Xiao'e. If you open a business, you must have a fixed source of customers, and it is always helpful to know some people in the officialdom.

Lou Xiao'e has never refused in this regard.

Lou Xiao'e did not refuse, but listened to him carefully.

"You may have heard about Bang Geng's incident. I really have no other choice, so I came to ask you for help..."

Lou Xiao'e has heard a lot of interesting stories about Compound No. 95 over the years, but this time it really shocked him.

Banggeng was actually involved in smuggling crimes, which is no small matter.

Lou Xiao'e was about to refuse, but Qin Huairu quickly pulled his hand and said, "Xiao'e, we have been neighbors for many years. I am really embarrassed to trouble you, but you are the only one who can intervene and have a say in this matter!"

"Zhu Zi is just a cook. He can't do anything else except cooking, and he doesn't even know the big boss..."

As she said this, Qin Huairu felt guilty.

Sha Zhu has been in and out of the military compound many times, and the leaders he knows are all high-level. It was only a matter of minutes to arrange a job for them back then, so he can definitely have a say in this kind of thing.

But how can they help with actual crimes?

Besides, she was having a quarrel with Sha Zhu at the moment, and Sha Zhu would not help him at all.

She didn't want to beg him.

This matter really put Lou Xiao'e in a difficult position. The stick incident was not a big deal. It was much smaller than murder, which was punishable by immediate execution. But it was not a petty theft that could be released by being locked up for a few days.

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her hands nervously, "Huai Ru, I heard that Bang Geng is breaking the law knowingly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle! I'm just a businessman, I'm not familiar with people in the officialdom, and I don't know anyone in the Public Security Bureau, I'm afraid I can't help you with this!"

Lou Xiao'e was just telling the truth. This was not an easy task. What was the difference between snatching someone from the police and robbing a bank?

Qin Huairu nodded silently and smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I know it's difficult, but can you help me think about it? Banggeng is still young, he doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know how serious this matter is. If we talk about breaking the law and committing a crime, Li Limin is the culprit. In the final analysis, who stamped the red-headed document? These people are all responsible! We can't just lock up our Banggeng!"

Lou Xiao'e didn't seem to refute this, but that's how it is in capitalist society, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps.

The powerless people at the bottom can only be slaughtered.

Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a long time. In Hong Kong, people abide by the law the most. In fact, this case is not hopeless. If she goes through a lawyer, it may be possible to reduce Banggeng's sentence.

"Huai Ru, I came from the compound. Although there are some misunderstandings between us, it can't outweigh the friendship of living in the same compound. I can help you find a respected lawyer to negotiate with the police about Bang Geng's case, but I can't predict the outcome. This is my last move to help him. I really have no other choice."

Lou Xiao'e also spoke from the bottom of her heart. Qin Huairu was so grateful to see her sincerity.

"Xiao'e, let me thank you on behalf of my child. I bow to you..."

As she spoke, Qin Huairu stood up and was about to bow, but Lou Xiaoe quickly stopped her.

Whether this matter will succeed or not is another matter. Nothing is absolute in the world, but there is no order without rules. If Banggeng is really guilty, he must accept the punishment.

"Master, let's do this tomorrow. We will definitely win a prize. Who knows, maybe we will be the champion!"

Zhang Erpang praised Sha Zhu's ability with his smooth talk and gave him a love potion in advance.

The second disciple, Wang Haibo, was calm and self-aware.

"Master, the remaining five groups of contestants are not ordinary people. What's more, tomorrow's test will be given on the spot and we will have to perform immediately. This will not only test our ability to respond to changes, but also our ability to perform on the spot. Are you... ready?"

Wang Haibolo said a lot of nonsense, and Shazhu just snorted and chuckled.

"I can admit defeat to anyone, but I won't lose to Chef Wang from Zui Xiang Lou across the street! Er Pang, did you remember what I told you?"

Zhang Erpang was stunned for a moment and nodded awkwardly.

"Understood, Master. I promise to complete the task!"

Wang Haibo looked at the two of them sideways and felt that something was fishy.

"Er Pang, what do you mean? What did you agree with the master? We can't do anything unkind and unjust!"

Shazhu laughed, and Erpang also smiled foolishly.

They both said in unison, "Don't worry!"
