Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Li Huaide's expression turned very unpleasant.

The tone of his voice was also particularly unpleasant.

"I'm here today to settle accounts with He Yuzhu."

"Settle accounts?" Liu Lan looked at him, puzzled. "What accounts do you want to settle with him?"

“It’s about smuggling, of course. If he hadn’t reported it, how would the Industry and Commerce Bureau have known about the smuggling?” Li Huaide said through gritted teeth.

Liu Lan looked shocked: "You mean he reported you for smuggling?"
Do not make jokes.

"If He Yuzhu wants to deal with you, do you think you can escape?"

Li Huaide said coldly, "I have already found evidence and witnesses."

You're still defending him.

Liu Lan, enough nonsense, I'm here to see He Yuzhu.

Call him and ask him to come over.

Liu Lan was still somewhat skeptical. He Yuzhu's actions towards Yi Zhonghai were plausible, but his actions towards Li Huaide seemed rather illogical.

"You've come at just the right time. He and Xu Damao just came by. They were talking about preparing for a victory celebration banquet?"

"What kind of celebration banquet is it?" Li Huaide asked.

"Xu Damao filmed a TV series, and it's almost finished filming. Okay, why am I telling you this?"

"What brings you here?" Liu Lan asked, looking at the person next to Li Huaide.

“I’m going to find He Yuzhu,” Li Huaide said. “Brother Jin, let’s go in.”

A group of people entered the restaurant, and Qin Huairu stayed behind, pulling Liu Lan aside.

"Liu Lan, Li Huaide has been back for a long time, didn't you know?"

Liu Lan said nonchalantly, "Whether he comes back or not has nothing to do with me."

Qin Huairu probed several times and discovered that Liu Lan genuinely didn't know Li Huaide had returned.

Qin Huairu felt that given the relationship between Liu Lan and He Yuzhu, if Liu Lan didn't know, then He Yuzhu probably didn't know either.

He Yuzhu also received the news and came out of his office.

"Brother Li, you're back."

Li Huaide immediately questioned He Yuzhu: "I have never wronged you in any way."

Why did you frame me?

He Yuzhu looked completely bewildered: "What are you talking about? When did I frame you?"

Li Huaide snorted: "You still want to argue? Let me tell you, I've found out everything."

Shi Junshan, you haven't forgotten him, have you?

He Yuzhu did not admit it: "So what if we know each other?"

"What happened? He's the one who reported it to the Industry and Commerce Bureau." Li Huaide continued to press the issue.

"So it was him. I was wondering how the Industry and Commerce Bureau knew so much about it." He Yuzhu still didn't admit it.

“Keep pretending. Shi Junshan has already confessed that you were the one who arranged for him to report him.”

"After the smuggled goods were seized, he went to work at your company." Li Huaide seemed ready to turn hostile.

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "So what? He was hired by someone else at my company."

As for his claim that I told him to report it, do you have any evidence?

You didn't listen to Yi Zhonghai's sophistry, did you?

You really are something.

Don't you know who Yi Zhonghai is?

Xu Damao chimed in, "Exactly. Yi Zhonghai's mouth can talk the dead back to life."

Brother Li, you absolutely cannot trust Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was furious; this was a complete injustice. He had no ability to find the person who reported him.

“Shazhu, Xu Damao, you're just feeling guilty. Director Li personally investigated this matter.”

Don't try to argue your way out of this.

When Yi Zhonghai shouted the words "Silly Zhu," Bang Geng quietly took a few steps back.

Seeing that he had retreated into the crowd, He Yuzhu had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Li, you're not bringing them here to cause trouble, are you?"

Li Huaide said, "How dare I? You are a member of the imperial family, while I am just a stray dog ​​that everyone wants to beat."

We're here today to challenge you to a duel.

"What challenge?" He Yuzhu looked puzzled. Li Huaide glanced at Jin Qihao and said loudly, "Our head chef from Chenxing Restaurant wants to have a culinary competition with the head chef from Chaoyang Restaurant."

He Yuzhu didn't agree immediately: "What's the point of comparing? I'm not interested."

"I bet you don't dare," Yi Zhonghai said smugly. "If you don't dare, just say so."

"Pah!" He Yuzhu said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are?"

I don't compare myself to you because I'm afraid people will say I'm bullying them.

Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite.

"I don't even need to lift a finger; my apprentice can take care of you."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't take this provocation: "If you're so capable, why don't you go yourself..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Huaide silenced him with a kiss.

He knew very well how good He Yuzhu's cooking skills were.

If He Yuzhu were to play, the game would be unplayable.

Jin Qihao had eaten the dishes personally cooked by Duan Zicong and knew Duan Zicong's skill level.

If Duan Zicong, his apprentice, is so talented, then He Yuzhu, his master, must be equally impressive.

Out of caution, Jin Qihao did not want He Yuzhu to leave the field too early.

It's not too late to let He Yuzhu take the stage after we defeat Duan Zicong.

"Mr. He, since that's the case, then it's settled."

“No problem.” He Yuzhu said without hesitation, “Since it’s a competition, we need to find judges.”

"How about I invite a few presidents from the Beijing Chefs Association to be judges?"

Li Huaide said, "Your senior apprentice is the vice president of the Beijing Chefs Association. They'll definitely favor you."

Li Huaide was working so hard, naturally in order to gain Jin Qihao's trust.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" He Yuzhu asked in return.

Yi Zhonghai shouted, "We'll be the judges!"

Xu Damao chuckled: "You? Have some shame, will you?"

"If I were the referee, I could have just declared you the winner. Why bother with all that?"

"Xu Damao, shut up."

Yi Zhonghai glared angrily at Xu Damao.

He was afraid of He Yuzhu hitting people, but not of Xu Damao.

Liu Haizhong stepped forward: "I think it would be perfect for us to be judges."

He Yuzhu ignored him and said, "How about this, we each invite three people from the culinary world to be judges?"

Jin Qihao also knew that He Yuzhu's method was quite reasonable.

No matter who invited the judges, anyone who wants to make a living in the culinary world wouldn't lie through their teeth.

But he wasn't in the culinary world, and he didn't know anyone in mainland China, so he couldn't find anyone.

Li Huaide said, "It's not just about people in the culinary world; you can also find those who know the business."

I know a few experts, one of whom was a prince during the Qing Dynasty.

He Yuzhu said, "Okay. I believe Brother Li wouldn't hire someone who doesn't know anything to fill a position."

We'll agree on a few dishes together, and once they're cooked, we'll serve them directly without letting the judges know who cooked them.

Jin Qihao felt this was a good idea, so he said, "We don't need that many judges, just three people will do."

"no problem."

After agreeing on these matters, Jin Qihao did not leave with his men, but chose to stay for dinner.

He also specifically asked Duan Zicong to cook a few dishes.

Of course, he didn't order the dishes that were supposed to be served in the competition.

He Yuzhu knew that he was testing Duan Zicong's abilities, but he didn't take it seriously.

No matter what tricks they use, He Yuzhu will ultimately win.

Xu Damao curled his lip: "You still have the nerve to stay for dinner. Aren't you just making things harder for Zicong?"

He Yuzhu laughed and said, "Let them try. Zicong doesn't usually use his full strength when he cooks."

"What can't they figure out?"

"What about Li Huaide? Won't he give himself away?" Xu Damao asked.

He Yuzhu thought about it for a moment but couldn't find a problem. (End of Chapter)
