Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

However, what they had never expected was that all of this had already been quietly known by another person - Chen Fei.

As an inconspicuous member of the cafeteria, Chen Fei has keen insight and extraordinary wisdom.

He knew very well that if Sha Zhu and MCA's conspiracy succeeded, not only would the cafeteria fall into chaos, but it might also affect the stability of the entire steel mill.

So he decided to stand up and expose it all.

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining brightly, Chen Fei knocked on the door of Director Yang's office.

He heard a calm "Come in" from inside the door and walked into the room.

"Director Yang, I have something urgent to report to you." Chen Fei's voice was firm and powerful, instantly attracting Director Yang's attention.

After listening to Chen Fei's narration, Director Yang's expression changed from confusion to shock, and then to anger.

"How could such a thing happen!" He slammed the table and stood up, his eyes flashing with unquestionable majesty.

"Fade Chen, you did the right thing! We must stop them and not let this evil trend spread in the cafeteria."

Then, Chen Fei proposed his own plan - to set a trap so that Ma Hua and Sha Zhu's conspiracy would be automatically exposed in broad daylight.

After hearing this, Director Yang immediately nodded in agreement and promised to reward him handsomely after the task was completed.

"Chen Fei, you are not only brave and resourceful, but also have a rare sense of responsibility towards the collective. I believe that you will become an excellent manager of my steel rolling mill in the future." Director Yang's words were filled with expectation and affirmation, which made Chen Fei feel warm in his heart.

He quickly humbly stated that this was just his duty.

With Director Yang's trust and expectations, Chen Fei returned to the cafeteria.

His eyes searched the crowd and finally fell on Ma Hua.

At this moment, Ma Hua was busy shuttling between the stoves. Everything seemed normal, but Chen Fei keenly caught the occasional uneasiness and anxiety he revealed.

Chen Fei skillfully guided the course of events according to the plan, causing Sha Zhu and Ma Hua to step into the trap he had set step by step.

In the cafeteria, the atmosphere became subtle due to Ma Hua's unusual behavior.

Ma Hua stood in front of the dish that was given "special care", the salt shaker in his hand still shaking slightly.

He thought that no one would notice his little action, but unexpectedly, all of this was part of Chen Fei's plan.

At this moment, the door of the cafeteria was pushed open, and Director Yang strode in with a group of assistants and several employees with serious expressions.

Their arrival was like a sudden storm that instantly swept the entire cafeteria.

Everyone's attention was instantly focused on Ma Hua, and the dish with excessive salt became the target of public criticism.

"How is this going?"

Ma Hua's face turned pale instantly. He tried to explain, but his voice was trembling: "I... I just... I just wanted to make this dish more flavorful, but I didn't expect..."

"You didn't expect what? You didn't expect to be discovered, or you didn't expect there would be such serious consequences?" Director Yang's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, piercing deep into Ma Hua's soul.

Ma Hua secretly felt lucky and was glad that he did not really put in laxatives. But how would he end up with the excessive amount of salt?

He looked up, trying to find the familiar figure in the crowd - Chen Fei, but he only saw a group of indifferent bystanders, and he couldn't help feeling despair in his heart.

However, what he didn't know was that Chen Fei's plan was far more profound than he imagined.

While everyone was talking, Fade Chen slowly walked in from the back door with his signature indifferent smile on his face.

He walked straight to Director Yang and bowed slightly: "Director Yang, I have something to say."

Director Yang's eyes moved slightly, signaling Chen Fei to continue.

"In fact, I did all this on purpose." Chen Fei's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the cafeteria. "I noticed that someone inside the cafeteria was trying to undermine food safety. In order to find out the truth, I had to take some special measures."

Everyone was in an uproar, looking at him in surprise.

Ma Hua was struck by lightning and looked at Chen Fei in disbelief.

"I deliberately added a small amount of laxatives to another dish and left on purpose, just to give the real mastermind an 'opportunity'. And Mr. Ma Hua, you just happened to 'fall into the trap'." Chen Fei's tone became meaningful when he said this.

"But don't worry, I have already dealt with the laxative part, and it won't affect anyone. As for this dish with too much salt, it is to draw out the real 'black hand' and also serve as a warning to your behavior."

Upon hearing this, Director Yang's expression eased a little, and there was a hint of complexity in his eyes as he looked at Ma Hua.

As for MCA, it completely collapsed to the ground, and all its hopes of luck disappeared at this moment.

"Chen Fei, you did a great job." Director Yang patted Chen Fei on the shoulder. "The safety of the cafeteria is related to the health of all of us. We must not allow any mistakes."

As Director Yang finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the cafeteria.

Chen Fei stood in the center of the crowd, accepting everyone's recognition and respect.

This counterattack not only exposed the potential threat, but also established an unshakable position in everyone's hearts.

As for Ma Hua, he slowly lowered his head under the gaze of everyone, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.

He finally understood that in this world full of wits and competition, any cleverness would only dig one's own grave.

In the tense atmosphere of the cafeteria, Ma Hua took a deep breath and looked at everyone with a firm gaze, especially at Chen Fei who was standing aside with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

He slowly reached out his hand, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up a piece of the dish he had carefully cooked. It was a dish of shredded pork with green peppers that looked ordinary but was actually full of turmoil.

The air is filled with a light salty aroma and the spiciness of green peppers, mixing into an indescribable taste.

"Since everyone has doubts, I will use my actions to prove my innocence." Ma Hua's voice was not loud, but extremely firm. He put the piece of vegetable into his mouth without hesitation. While chewing, his brows frowned slightly, but then relaxed again, as if showing his determination and fearlessness to everyone.

Everyone present held their breath and even the air seemed to have frozen time.

Director Yang stared at Ma Hua's reaction, his eyes showing both expectation and confusion.

Chen Fei, on the other hand, had a complicated expression, with a desire for the truth but also confusion and vigilance towards MCA's move.

"This dish is indeed a bit salty," Ma Hua admitted after swallowing the food in his mouth, "but I swear, I didn't add anything except salt. Maybe I was too focused on seasoning and my hands were shaking so I added a little too much. But I have never done anything to let you down."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of dish. This time, he ate it more carefully, as if he was tasting the "bitter fruit" that he had created himself, and also showing his sincerity and determination to everyone.

The cafeteria was quiet, with only the sound of Ma Hua chewing and the occasional sound of wind outside the window, which seemed particularly clear.
