Siheyuan: Being a fisherman in 1962

Chapter 55: Shazhu is punished

Chen Fei's heart was like being hit by a huge rock, and the harmonious atmosphere in the cafeteria disappeared in an instant.

Standing in the center of the cafeteria, his eyes were sharp as a torch, scanning every employee.

Their eyes were evasive, as if they were hiding a secret.

The air in the cafeteria was filled with tension and anxiety, as if a storm was about to come.

Sha Zhu stood in the corner, his hands trembling and his heart filled with fear.

I recall that I accidentally left the razor blade on the table while shaving in the kitchen.

He was afraid to admit it because it would mean he would lose his job and the pressure of life would leave him with nowhere to escape.

He gritted his teeth and firmly denied that he was the owner of the blade.

Chen Fei questioned each employee one by one, trying to find clues from their words.

Someone pointed out that Sha Zhu might be the owner of the blade, but Sha Zhu firmly denied it.

His words were filled with fear and helplessness.

However, Chen Fei was not fooled by the superficial phenomenon.

Recalling the scene of Sha Zhu shaving in the kitchen, it suddenly became clear in my mind.

"Did you accidentally leave the razor blade on the table when you were shaving in the kitchen?" Sha Zhu's face turned pale instantly, knowing that his secret had been revealed.

Sha Zhu could no longer conceal his inner panic, so he lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

But he still insisted that he did not put the blade into the soup.

His eyes were full of sincerity and helplessness, which made Chen Fei fall into deep thought.

However, looking around, every employee was like a startled bird.

This shows that this is not the truth.

Chen Fei's eyes were as sharp as a sword, penetrating every corner and making the air seem to freeze.

Some people's trembling hands are like leaves in the wind, unable to control themselves.

The fear in his eyes was like an abyss, hiding countless anxieties and despair.

That secret was like a time bomb that could blow his life to pieces at any time.

"Did you hide a razor blade in the soup?" Chen Fei's voice was as cold as ice, causing the temperature in the entire cafeteria to drop a few degrees.

Sha Zhu's lips moved, but he seemed to be bound by invisible chains and could not speak.

His eyes were full of struggle and helplessness, as if he was weighing the consequences of admitting or denying.

Chen Fei did not give him too much time. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, penetrating deep into Sha Zhu's soul.

He knew that Sha Zhu's denial was only temporary and the real secret was still deep in his heart.

"You accidentally dropped the razor blade while shaving in the kitchen. And that razor blade appeared in that bowl of soup." Chen Fei's words were like thunder, shaking everyone's heart.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale instantly. He could no longer hide his inner panic and could only bow his head and admit his mistake.

However, he still firmly denied putting the blade into the soup. His eyes were full of sincerity and helplessness, which made Chen Fei fall into deep thought.

Should I believe what Sha Zhu said?

Or was it just a lie he made up to protect himself?

The atmosphere in the cafeteria became tense again, and every employee was guessing what would happen next.

But Chen Fei was as firm as a rock.

There is only one truth and it must be found.

He grabbed Shazhu by the collar, as if he wanted to pull out the secret in his heart.

Sha Zhu was like a lone boat caught in a violent storm, with nowhere to escape.

The atmosphere in the cafeteria suddenly became depressing, and every employee held their breath, waiting for what would happen next.

Everyone looked at Sha Zhu with a mixture of anger and disappointment.

In their hearts, Sha Zhu has always been that hardworking and simple man, but at this moment, he has become a traitor.

Sha Zhu lowered his head under pressure, his voice trembling and weak: "I... I was wrong."

However, there was a gleam of insincerity in his eyes, which made Fade Chen frown.

Chen Fei let go of his hand and did not find the real answer from Sha Zhu.

This simple admission does not solve all problems.

We need to find more clues, connect them together and uncover the truth of this incident.

Every employee was thinking about the impact of the incident.

However, Chen Fei did not let down his guard.

There are more secrets hidden behind the incident.

The truth must be found to restore the harmonious atmosphere of the cafeteria.

Chen Fei's gaze stayed on Sha Zhu for a moment, then slowly moved away.

The anger in my heart has subsided, replaced by deep thought.

Punishment is not the goal. The key is to make Sha Zhu truly realize his mistakes.

"Silly Zhu," Fade Chen said in a low voice, "Your behavior has caused quite a stir in the cafeteria. But everyone makes mistakes, so I'll give you a chance to correct them."

Sha Zhu raised his head, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Chen Fei actually gave him a chance.

"I will deduct three months' salary from you as punishment. At the same time, you will become Ma Hua's apprentice and learn how to be a real chef. In addition, you must write a 2,000-word letter of repentance and reflect on your mistakes." Chen Fei's words revealed seriousness and expectation.

Silly Zhu lowered his head.

Know that you are wrong and are willing to accept punishment.

But he was still somewhat dissatisfied with Chen Fei's decision, thinking that such a punishment was too harsh.

However, he must accept reality and work hard to turn over a new leaf.

And Sha Zhu also began his journey of reform under the watchful eyes of everyone.

But Chen Fei did not completely let down his guard.

Pay close attention to Shazhu's performance.

He found that under Ma Hua's guidance, Sha Zhu gradually showed his talent in cooking.

And that letter of repentance also allowed Chen Fei to see Sha Zhu's sincerity and determination.

Chen Fei was secretly relieved.

My decision is correct.

The turmoil in the cafeteria gradually subsided, but the trauma in Sha Zhu's heart was difficult to heal.

The vitality of the past was gone from his eyes, replaced by endless confusion and regret.

The once hardworking and simple man seemed to have become silent and taciturn overnight, which made people feel pity for him.

Chen Fei stood in front of the window, gazing deeply into the distance.

Although my approach is harsh, it is also to maintain harmony and fairness in the cafeteria.

He did not expect that this incident would deal such a heavy blow to Sha Zhu.

The days passed in dullness, and under Ma Hua's guidance, Sha Zhu gradually found the joy of cooking.

His knife skills became more and more proficient, and the dishes he made became more and more delicious.

The shadow in my heart is always hard to dispel.

Whenever he saw Chen Fei's sharp eyes, an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

On this day, the atmosphere in the cafeteria was unusually tense.

Chen Fei stood in front of everyone and announced a shocking news: the cafeteria will hold a cooking competition, and the winner will receive a generous bonus and a chance of promotion.

This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Employees were talking about it and rushing to sign up for the competition.

Sha Zhu also heard the news and felt an inexplicable impulse.

He wanted to prove his strength through this competition, and also wanted to take this opportunity to prove his worth to Chen Fei.

However, when he stood in front of the registration desk, he hesitated.

He was afraid of failing again, afraid of facing Chen Fei's sharp gaze again.

Just when Sha Zhu was hesitating, Ma Hua walked up to him.

Seeing the hesitation and fear in Sha Zhu's heart, he gently patted his shoulder and said, "You are a good cook. Don't let past mistakes affect your future. I believe in you, you can do it!"

Ma Hua's words flowed into Sha Zhu's heart like a warm current, and he resolutely wrote down his name.

The day of the competition finally arrived. The cafeteria was crowded and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The employees showed off their specialties one after another.
