Chapter 690 1 Ning
Jia Dongxu also knew that Jia Zhang would not help him get revenge at that time. After all, Jia Zhang also knew that he needed to rely on Qin Huairu, and would not say anything at that time.
At Gu Nan's house, Ran Qiuye looked at Gu Nan and said, "Do you think Xu Damao is a fool? He should just live his own life well. Why is he looking for He Yuzhu?"
Gu Nan's expression was calm, but his eyes revealed the wisdom of seeing through everything. He looked at Ran Qiuye and said slowly: "Ran Qiuye, this is human nature. Some people can never bear to see others living better than themselves. They always try to trip others up in secret, fearing that others will not have a smooth life." Ran Qiuye listened and nodded with deep emotion. He also felt a little more about the complexity of human nature in his heart. Then he fell silent and didn't say anything more.
The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and sprinkled on the earth. Gu Nan arrived at the steel mill early and walked straight to the kitchen. In the past two days, the steel mill had frequent meetings on matters related to the new machine, and Gu Nan was so busy that he had no time to go to the kitchen.
The moment Gu Nan stepped into the kitchen, Zhong Yi knew the purpose of his coming. In the past two days, Zhong Yi and Ma Hua had secretly made a lot of preparations according to Gu Nan's arrangements, and now it was gradually reaching the critical moment of closing the net.
As soon as Gu Nan walked into the kitchen, he raised his voice and said, "Okay, everyone come here, I have something important to tell you." When everyone in the kitchen heard his voice, they stopped what they were doing and gathered around. Gu Nan glanced at everyone and finally landed on Zhong Yi, asking, "How is the matter I asked you to investigate going now?"
Zhong Yi lowered his head slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and he stammered: "Master, this..."
Gu Nan pretended to be very angry, frowned, and said seriously: "Don't call me Master. In the steel mill, you have to address people according to their positions. Tell me, what's going on? Don't dilly-dally."
Seeing this, Liu Lan secretly rejoiced. Director Li had told her before that Gu Nan would be dealt with as well, but she was skeptical. But now it seemed that Gu Nan and Zhong Yi were going to become enemies. She wondered if Director Li's plan was really going to succeed.
Zhong Yi still lowered his head, hesitating, and couldn't say anything for a long time. Gu Nan turned his eyes away from Zhong Yi, glanced at the people in the kitchen, and suddenly shouted: "Liu Lan."
Liu Lan was lost in her own thoughts, and was startled by Gu Nan's shout. She hurriedly walked out of the crowd, waving her hands in panic and said, "Director, I don't know anything."
Gu Nan looked at Liu Lan's panic and wanted to laugh. He knew Liu Lan was a person who wanted to please both sides after doing all those things. How could it be so easy? So, Gu Nan said, "Liu Lan, you have been in the kitchen for a long time and are familiar with the situation here. I will leave this matter to you. Find out why things are frequently lost in the kitchen. Once you find out who it is, just tell me directly."
Liu Lan instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she thought that this seemed like a good opportunity. After all, she was not directly involved in the theft. If she could take this opportunity to make a contribution, she might get more benefits. So, she said, "I understand, Director, but I don't have anyone to help me. How do you think about this matter..."
Gu Nan sneered in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face. He liked this kind of greedy people. He said, "Zhong Yi, from today on, you will cook honestly. If this matter is really related to you, I will never tolerate it. I will definitely kill my relatives for the sake of justice and fire you directly."
Zhong Yi lowered his head even more and stood there without saying a word. Gu Nan looked at the other people in the kitchen again and said seriously, "Although I don't come to the kitchen often, you all know that what I hate most is petty theft. Once I find out, I will never let you off easily."
After saying this, Gu Nan knew that his goal had been initially achieved. Next, it all depended on what Director Li would do. After all, he was almost able to obtain all the evidence of Director Li's crimes, and now he only needed a suitable opportunity to expose them.
Sure enough, as soon as Gu Nan left, Liu Lan rushed to Director Li and told him everything that happened in the kitchen. After listening, Director Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, now Gu Nan and Zhong Yi have a falling out. It seems that this Ma Hua is still of some use."
At first, Director Li did intend to fire Gu Nan to prevent future troubles. But now the situation is different. Gu Nan got the dishes from nowhere, but the quality is so good that they are not only praised by the workers, but also save a lot of costs for the kitchen. Director Li now only wants to know the source of these dishes so that he can gain more benefits from them.
Therefore, he could only deal with Zhong Yi first, thinking that Ma Hua might reveal the source of the food out of fear. After all, he had the leverage over Ma Hua in his hand, and he didn't believe that Ma Hua would dare to disobey. As long as he knew where the food came from, it would be time for him to deal with Gu Nan.
Liu Lan looked at Director Li who was thinking about something and said, "Director Li, what should I do next?"
Director Li thought for a while and said, "Just pretend to investigate this matter, and then tell Gu Nan that Zhong Yi was the one who did it. As for Ma Hua, they will cooperate with you."
Director Li just glanced at the side and said, "Okay, you can go back first. I have something else to do."
At first, Liu Lan was wondering if she could steal vegetables into the house now. After closing the door, Liu Lan wanted to leave, but suddenly she heard a woman's voice in Director Li's room.
Liu Lan did not rush to leave, but eavesdropped at the door. Who knew that the person inside was someone she knew.
Although she was not from the kitchen, Liu Lan was there after all, and many people knew her. From her voice, she knew that this person was from the Propaganda Department. Her name was Cheng Yining. Unlike herself, she was still a young girl, and it was said that her family was well off.
Liu Lan started eavesdropping outside to see what Director Li was doing behind her back.
Director Li poured a glass of water for Cheng Yining: "You heard it all. If this thing succeeds, my status will definitely rise in the future. How can I treat you unfairly then?"
Cheng Yining's status in the family is not high now, so she can only be a team member in the Propaganda Department. But Cheng Yining is unwilling to do that. She wants to be the deputy director, so she can only find Director Li.
