"Comrade Xiao He, you are willing to teach everyone cooking, so you are not irresponsible. Why do you have to leave?" Minister Xu just heard that He Yuzhu asked the kitchen staff to go on strike and fired him. He thought he was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Big leader, you don't know: seeing our workers working so hard, they can only eat steamed bread, radishes and cabbage. I want to improve their food, but I can't do anything, and I feel upset. Of course, I don't deny that working in a restaurant is really free!" He Yuzhu sighed when he thought of the food he saw for the workers these days.

"Alas! It is indeed not easy for the country right now, but I believe that as long as we are united, we will be able to overcome the difficulties!" After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Minister Xu was stunned at first, and then said firmly

"Xiaoyao, I think there are people in the steel rolling mill who are watching over you. It can't be like the lawless place in the restaurant, right?" Seeing the tense atmosphere, Li Huaide quickly changed the subject.

"Those things are really not my fault, big boss, please judge for me! When my master taught me to cook, he told me that the cook should just cook and not ask who the guests are. I also taught them the same way."

"In the end, no one listened. They didn't practice their cooking skills, and all they did was gossip about the identities of the diners behind their backs all day. They wanted to be noticed by the boss and be transferred to be his personal chef. As a chef, cooking skills are their capital for making a living. They do those crooked ways all day, hum..."

"And the manager of our restaurant is even more discerning. If someone is dressed in plain clothes and looks like an ordinary citizen, and the waiter has a bad attitude and people complain, he will say that everyone is equal and the waiters are also working class. In short, he doesn't care."

"If it were a big boss like you, you would immediately change your face. If the waiters have a bad attitude or even don't smile brightly enough, he would scold them. For a person like this, beating him up would be a bargain! But this old guy didn't know what was good for him and reported me, causing me to get beaten. Tell me, who should I go to for justice..."

"Haha...it's you!" He Yuzhu lived up to Li Huaide's expectations and successfully made the atmosphere cheerful.

"Okay, stop playing tricks on me and bring the rabbit head over here!" Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Li Huaide quickly made an excuse to send He Yuzhu away. After all, no matter how strong a heart is, it can't withstand such tossing and turning.

Compared with his nephew's good fortune, He Ping'an's mood at this moment was mixed. Looking at the old acquaintance standing in front of him, He Ping'an "thanked" his minister for his concern. But if possible, He Ping'an wanted to tell Minister Luo loudly that it really didn't have to be like this.

"What's wrong, Director He? We haven't seen each other for six years, and this is how you treat your old friend. Or is it that Director He is a forgetful person and has forgotten me?" The speaker was Old Xu, who took away Wei Youlai, the mastermind of the steel mill case in 1955.

"Old Xu, we've only dealt with each other once, and we haven't said a few words in total. Can you please stop acting so familiar? People who don't know would think we are very familiar with each other!" He Pingan looked at the self-familiar Old Xu and said speechlessly.

"I'm thinking about the future. We're going to work together. It's better to get to know each other better so we can get on with the work and avoid embarrassment." Old Xu didn't mind He Ping'an's rudeness and still kept smiling.

"Wait, are you saying that you are involved as well? That's right, how could I run into someone like you for no reason? But this is the business of our public security department, it has nothing to do with you, right?" He Ping'an thought that it was Old Xu whom he met temporarily, but he didn't expect that he came here on orders.

"I have to thank Minister Luo for this. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have the opportunity to work together. Your Minister Luo was worried that you would go to the north alone and get into trouble because you were unfamiliar with the place. He specifically asked our director to send someone to assist you. So our director sent me, who is familiar with you!" Facing He Ping'an's doubts, Old Xu still explained slowly.

"Ah..." Feeling Minister Luo's good intentions, He Ping'an nodded depressedly, agreeing to let Lao Xu join.

"I know Director He, he is not interested in our kind of work. Please rest assured, Director He, I came here just to cooperate with your work, and I have no other tasks. In addition, I personally admire Director He's spirit of sacrifice!" Old Xu said admiringly

He Pingan underestimated the influence of his action. In the twelve years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there are not many cadres like He Pingan who gave up their bright future and sought their own death. Yes, in the eyes of many people, He Pingan's action was to seek his own death. This is why Minister Luo broke the rules and said those words to He Pingan.

"Please take that look off your face. It's like I can't come back. I'm not as great as you think. I'm just tired of staying in Beijing and want to get some fresh air. Let's be honest. Old Xu, have you ever thought about going back?" He Ping'an advised without giving up.

"Go back? Why? One more person means more strength. Director He, don't worry, I won't hold you back! Moreover, after receiving this task, I specially checked the internal files we gave to Lou Bancheng. Our Mr. Lou is not as honest as he seems." Lao Xu, who is engaged in that kind of work, naturally will not give up the task easily.

"Old Xu, you are looking down on me. I am the head of the Public Security Bureau after all, how could I not know Lou Bancheng's background? To tell you the truth, the reason why I only brought Lou Bancheng here this time is that we have fewer people and a smaller target, and secondly, if we really encounter danger, I can get away by myself."

"As for Lou Bancheng, that two-faced capitalist. At most, I can apply for him to be a martyr, and then I can take care of his family in the future. But then, you, old man, popped up!"

Seeing that Old Xu was determined not to leave, He Pingan no longer hesitated. Although Old Xu's job meant that He Pingan would not be as close to him as a real comrade-in-arms, He Pingan still had to tell him the most basic plan.

"Tsk! Director He, hmm... so awesome! You're still the Director He I know! Also, if I remember correctly, you're still the deputy director!" Old Xu thought for a long time but couldn't think of the right words to describe He Ping'an.

"Go away, your joke is not funny at all. Anyway, just keep it in mind!" He Pingan looked at Old Xu who was trying not to laugh and said unhappily.

"Director He, do you have any specific plans for this trip? If you have anything to say, just let me know!" After joking, Old Xu asked about the plan.

"I have a comrade whose hometown is xxx. His name is too long and I can't remember it. Anyway, I always call him Balin. He is a real Mongolian. Let's go find him first and let him be our guide. It can save us a lot of trouble!" Since Lao Xu is here, He Ping'an can't be too careless, lest he gets into danger and it's hard to explain when he returns. He can only change the plan temporarily!

"I will send someone to inform your comrades! But Commander He, are you really planning to go into the tiger's den alone?" The shrewd Old Xu naturally knew that He Ping'an had this spur-of-the-moment idea, otherwise he would not have asked himself to inform his comrades.

"What are you talking about? Lou Bancheng is not a human being!" He Ping'an originally thought that it would be nice to be alone, uh... with Lou Bancheng, and be free. Now that there was Old Xu, He Ping'an had to be responsible for his safety, so of course he was unhappy.
