The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.

"What else?! Old Zhang, your branch office has connections, why don't you think about other brother units?!" After saying that, Qi Dayong put on a pained expression, as if Zhang Qiang had made a big mistake.

Zhang Qiang said, "Qi Dayong, let's not talk about who's who. Last winter, when you were distributing winter coal, didn't you think of us?! The department's trucks haven't even left yet. If you're so capable, go ask them for it."

Qi Dayong was immediately speechless. Before coming, he thought that Dongcheng wouldn't be able to distribute the supplies so quickly. He planned to have the ministry take half, leave one ton for Dongcheng, and take the rest himself. He hadn't expected that by the time he arrived, the supplies had already been distributed. He didn't dare to compete with the ministry for them now.

Qi Dayong lost interest in staying any longer, let out a heavy snort, and left with his men. Seeing Qi Dayong's angry expression, Zhang Qiang was overjoyed.

About half an hour later, the three trucks from the ministry that had come to pick up the seafood left. Zhang Qiang and Lai Changming had lunch at the Nanluoguxiang Public Security Bureau, said goodbye to Ye Guoliang, and went back to the branch office.

Sunday arrived in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, He Yuzhu got up and went straight to the public bathhouse. He got a haircut, took a shower, ate breakfast at home, and then changed into his treasured Zhongshan suit and a new pair of three-piece leather shoes. He then took He Daqing and his wife, along with his younger brother and sister, out the door. Half an hour later, He Yuzhu's family arrived at Taifeng Restaurant.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu and his family, the waiter hurriedly approached and said, "Comrades, we're not open yet! If you want to eat, please come back later!"

At this moment, Tian Zhenyue came out of the kitchen and said, "Xiao Lin! You don't need to entertain them. Leave it to me!" After saying that, Tian Zhenyue led He Yuzhu's family to the first private room on the second floor.

Meanwhile, Kobayashi, who had long harbored resentment towards Tian Zhenyue, saw this as a good opportunity to deal with him. So Kobayashi quickly walked to the door of the company manager's office and knocked.

Lu Junhui, the company manager who had just arrived at work, heard the knock on the door and called out, "Come in!"

Xiao Lin pushed open the office door and walked in, quickly closing it behind him. He said, "Manager Lu, I have something important to report to you."

Lu Junhui asked, "Xiao Lin, what's wrong? Just tell me!"

Xiao Lin said, "Manager Lu, we haven't opened for business yet. A few people just came in, and I told them to wait a bit. I didn't expect Chef Tian Zhenyue to take them to a private room on the second floor. And he seemed quite familiar with them. You always say that the kitchen and back kitchens should be kept separate. Kitchen staff shouldn't entertain guests without permission. Isn't Chef Tian's action today a slap in your face?!"

Lu Junhui frowned deeply. Although he was the general manager, the kitchen staff never respected him. After considering for a few minutes, Lu Junhui said, "You can go out now! I'll handle this."

"Hey!" Kobayashi responded, secretly glancing at Lu Junhui's expression, and felt that he had made the right decision to come this time.

After Xiaolin left, Lu Junhui couldn't sit still any longer and immediately left his office. A short while later, Lu Junhui arrived at the kitchen. He glanced around and asked, "Where's Chef Tian?!"

Just then, Tian Zhenyue returned to the kitchen. He asked, "Manager Lu, you wanted to see me?!"
