Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 911 Didn't you bring a knife?

In the afternoon, Xiaowei called Chen Hui, Geng Hui, Li Na, Jin Jie, Liang Gaoyou, Xie Xiaolong, Mou Lijuan, and Shan Hongmei to the conference room on the 33rd floor to discuss the "Romantic City" plan.

Liu Hongliang went to northern Jilin and did not attend.

Liang Gaoyou spoke on legal matters, Geng Hui on finance, Xie Xiaolong on products, Mou Lijuan on pricing, Li Na on human resources management, Sister Jin on material distribution, and Shan Hongmei on technology and hygiene. They all sat down to discuss specific rules and regulations. Each aspect needed to be developed into an enforceable system, which was no small matter.

Xiaowei shared his thoughts and ideas from the past few days, and everyone began to offer suggestions and opinions based on their own ideas. Xiaowei listened and took notes.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours. In the middle, there was a short break. Everyone got up to move around and go to the restroom. The men went to the side to have a smoke. Because there were too many women, Xiaowei and the others were too embarrassed to smoke inside.

As the discussion reached the point of closing time, Xiaowei was about to suggest calling it a day when Chen Hui's phone rang.

Everyone looked over, and Chen Hui took it out and looked at it, saying, "Longcheng, the hotel, what's going on?" He answered the phone as he spoke.

"Xiao Hui, is Xiao Wei there? I can't get through to him on the phone," Sister Zhang's voice came through.

Xiao Wei checked his phone; it was out of battery.

Chen Hui said, "Yes," and handed the phone to Xiao Wei.

Xiao Wei took it and asked, "Sister Zhang, is something the matter?"

Sister Zhang said, "Xiao Wei, Xiao Zhang got into a fight with someone, and they used a knife. What should we do?"

Xiao Wei paused for a moment before remembering that this Xiao Zhang was a chef who arrived later, with a somewhat eccentric personality and a particular fondness for nitpicking.

Xiao Wei asked, "Is he alright?"

Sister Zhang said, "The other side was wielding a knife. Xiao Zhang had an ambulance take them away. These kids are crying in fear. What should we do?"

Xiao Wei said, "Don't panic. Let the staff tidy up and leave the shop. We'll be closed for the next couple of days. Do you know the other person? Can you find them?"

Sister Zhang said, "Yes, I know them, but we're not close. The butchers and butchers in the market carry butcher knives."

Xiao Wei asked, "Did they call the police?"

Ms. Zhang said, "I've reported it, the police have come, and they've taken my statement. What am I supposed to do now? I'm completely lost."

Xiao Wei said, "Forget about the stuff and stuff for now, let's calm everyone down first, give them a few days off, everyone can rest. Let's wait and see how things go, have Liu Huasheng and Li Xing arrived yet?"

Sister Zhang said, "Director Liu? You're here. Who's Li Xing?"

Xiao Wei said, "Alright, that's enough. You can arrange for someone to have a day off. No need to pack. We'll come over, and we'll talk tomorrow."

Sister Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, you can come tomorrow?"

Xiao Wei said, "I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning. Don't worry, I'll page you when I get there."

After hanging up, Xiaowei handed the phone back to Chen Hui and said, "There's been a fight at the restaurant. The chef was stabbed. Liu Huasheng didn't seem to go back to take over after he went back. What do we do?"

Chen Hui closed his notebook and said, "Let's go take a look. With such a big incident, it wouldn't be right to just leave it to Hua Sheng without going. We can take a look at the shop over there, check out the construction site, and get these things arranged. Then we can consider it a successful retirement."

Xiao Wei thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, everyone go back and rest. That's basically it. You guys think about it some more and discuss it. Xiao Hui and I are going to Longcheng, and we'll finalize this when we get back. Li Na, you and Hong Mei should talk to each other more, and try to think about the personnel and location details carefully."

Sister Jin said, "How are we going to handle the materials? Do we need to set up a delivery fleet?"

Xiao Wei said, "We set up a center in each province, and then we can contact each other in advance to discuss health and safety issues."

Everyone packed up their notebooks and headed outside, but Chen Hui remained seated and picked up the phone to call Liu Huasheng.

"Watson? Why didn't you call about the fight at the restaurant?"

Liu Huasheng said, "We've already taken care of everything, why would I call you? How did you know?"

Chen Hui said, "Sister Zhang just called. Let us come over and handle this. It's not appropriate for you and Li Xing to show up, so Xiao Wei and I will go check on the construction site. How's the situation now?"

Liu Huasheng said, "He was stabbed twice, and the person was sent to the hospital. The other person escaped, and we're trying to catch him. You have no idea why, really, it's unbelievable."

Chen Hui asked, "Why?"

Liu Huasheng said, "If a plate of shredded potatoes is served and the butcher says it's not cooked, and that it should be stir-fried with noodles, but the chef says it's cooked, then that's the standard way to make it. It's only delicious when it's crispy."

The butcher said to fry the pig briefly in oil before cooking, then stir-fry it a few times, season it, and add some chopped green onions—that's the best way to cook it. The chef retorted, "You stinking butcher, you know nothing, and you're trying to teach me how to cook?" And that's how the argument started.

Finally, they started arguing. The cook went over and said, "Come on, if you're so tough, give me a couple of cuts. You have a knife with you, don't you?" The butcher didn't hold back, pulled it out, and stabbed twice. That's how it happened.

Chen Hui grinned, his face contorted, and clicked his tongue twice, saying, "Isn't this just because I'm bored? How are they now? Are they in any danger?"

Liu Huasheng said, "I don't know. We sent him to the hospital and then came home after they notified us. Catching people here is more important."

Chen Hui said, "Fine, you arrest them. We'll be there first thing tomorrow morning. You and Li Xingzhen can't get involved in this. If they find out you're the bosses, the nature of this matter will change immediately. You won't get anywhere with either side, and it might even affect your jobs."

Liu Huasheng said, "Okay, I won't be coy, you guys come on."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Hui told Xiao Wei what had happened. Xiao Wei was stunned for a long time: "That's it? Isn't this just because you're bored? Have you had enough of life?" Neither of them could understand it, but the world is so magical, and something unbelievable just happened.

Northeasterners often fight for no apparent reason. It's like that Southern joke about "What are you looking at? What's it to you?"—it's not a joke, it can actually lead to a fight. It's quite amazing.

Xiao Wei packed up his pen and notebook and asked Chen Hui, "How do we get there? By tonight's train or by car?"

Chen Hui said, "How about we find someone to drive? We can sleep in the car for a while. It's exhausting to sleep on the train all night, and we'll feel terrible tomorrow. Besides, it's inconvenient not having a car there. Are we really going to drive that bakery?"

Xiao Wei said, "Okay, let's bring a few people, just in case."

Chen Hui then contacted Gao Zhijun. The few physically strong and capable fighters that Gazi had found in the county were all in the security department after military training, and none of them could drive, so this matter still needed to be arranged by Gao Zhijun. Chen Hui refused Gao Zhijun's suggestion to go personally and arranged for two veterans to drive, along with four "thugs".

In the end, they decided to go in two Cadillacs. Xiaowei and Chen Hui would share one car, which would be perfect for sleeping, while the other four would squeeze into the other car.
