The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

This statement not only attracted the attention of the military control committee members, but also countless other people.

Among them, the most ardent was naturally Yan Jiegui.

He suddenly rushed to Yi Zhonghai's side and urged him anxiously.

"Old Yi, if you have any clues, please tell me quickly. I really can't lose that money. If I do, my family will go out of business."

That statement is indeed true.

After all, if you lose that money these days, you'll really have to live frugally, especially considering your determination to save money.

Yan Jiegui himself found it hard to imagine what the future held.

Yi Zhonghai, after taking a deep breath, looked at the people from the Military Control Commission and shared his guess.

"I think it might be Cao Weiqian."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was complete silence. Jia Zhangshi stood up and looked at the Cao family with eyes that seemed capable of killing, muttering to herself.

"My God, it really is that damned little beast. I knew he was a bad seed. Officers, you'd better take him away quickly."

However, the gazes of the leading military control officer, or rather, all of the officers in the military control officer, were still somewhat indifferent.

There was nothing they could do; they naturally knew about some things that happened in compound number 95, not long ago.

These four families even went to the military control commission because they wanted to seize Cao Wei's house. If it weren't for the large sum of money they lost, they wouldn't have bothered with it at all.

Right now, Yi and Zhonghai, who are at odds with each other, suddenly said that Cao Wei might have stolen their money, making it hard for them not to suspect that.

However, the leader stared intently at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Why do you think that way? If it's just because of your previous conflict, I'm afraid I can't accept that explanation."

Faced with the leader's intense gaze, Yi Zhonghai felt a little guilty, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"If other houses had been robbed, I might not have thought of this possibility, but we happen to have a grudge against each other, and that kid is so skilled, I think he might..."

Yi Zhonghai didn't finish his sentence, leaving room for countless people to imagine. Even these beastly neighbors couldn't help but ponder it, and they started discussing it amongst themselves.

"Hey, you know what, all four of the people who were robbed happen to have a grudge against Cao Wei."

"Could it be that this kid really did commit the crime?"

"Then this kid will be rich, right?"

The leader nodded in agreement and then slowly said.

"Okay, I'll go look for him."

After saying that, the military control committee members didn't bother to say anything more and left the No. 95 compound. After they left, one of them couldn't help but ask the leader a question.

"Boss, do you really think this kid did it?"

The leader rolled his eyes and said, "If you stole this much money, would you dare stay here?"

"Besides, where's all that money going? I can't live a carefree and happy life anymore."

This statement, combined with the grudges between the four families and Cao Wei, highlights the complex relationship between them.

Indeed, even the leader did not believe that Cao Wei was responsible for this.

However, the opponent's skills were indeed exceptionally good.

According to regulations, they also had to question Cao Wei.

But deep down, neither of them believed that the other party was capable of doing it.

Anyone who gets such a large sum of money would run away as fast as they can; who would be foolish enough to stay here?

The other half is inside Fengzeyuan.

Cao Wei has been living a good life lately, thanks to his natural talent in Genshin Impact, coupled with the support of the system's abilities.

Zhang He had seen all of this.

So, after lunchtime had passed, Zhang He hesitated for a moment before looking at Cao Wei and saying...

"Xiao Wei, you'll be in charge of making today's staff meals."

These words immediately attracted envious glances from the other apprentices.

It's important to understand that the meaning of this statement is quite clear: if Cao Wei handles this situation properly...

There's even a possibility that he could rise to power.

Cao Wei, of course, wasn't stupid either. After understanding what he was saying, he nodded directly.

So, during the subsequent staff meal, Cao Wei showcased his culinary skills.

It's just simple shredded potatoes and Mapo tofu.

With Cao Wei's skillful cooking, the wok, which he tossed in the pan, was already filled with a wonderful aroma, which wafted out until it was finally placed on the plate.

Zhang He picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks.

The spicy and savory flavor upon entry, combined with a melt-in-your-mouth texture, is delightful.

He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the hot and sour shredded potatoes.

The perfect fusion of those two flavors, accompanied by just the right amount of cooking time.

After putting down his chopsticks, he couldn't help but look at Cao Wei and sigh.

"Cao Wei, what a pity. If I had met you sooner, you would be my disciple."

"Alright, you guys come and have a taste."

After he finished speaking, the other apprentices, who had been eagerly waiting, also came over and tasted the food with their chopsticks.

They started praising it all at once.

"Wow, I almost got into an argument with Master Chen."

"No, compared to Master Chen, I think I'm still a bit lacking."

"..."

And all of these lively discussions undoubtedly reflected Cao Wei's approval.

The reason for some doubts is that these two dishes are ultimately vegetarian, while meat dishes are the real test of a chef in this era.

You should know that Master Chen is currently working at Fengzeyuan Restaurant's second kitchen.

Zhang He, after a brief moment of contemplation, looked at Cao Wei and said...

"Xiao Wei, you'll officially start working on the stove tomorrow, starting with the third stove."

These words drew envious glances from countless students, but that was all they felt was envy.

Cao Wei's original body's talent was undeniable, and after Zhang He finished speaking, he also left the kitchen and followed the head manager.

After tasting a bite of Cao Wei's dish, they praised Cao Wei without reservation.

"Hehe, Lao Zhang, given time, he'll probably be able to work as a second-class chef. Xiao Wei already has this skill, why are you still keeping it a secret?"

Zhang He expressed some helplessness regarding this.

"Shopkeeper, don't forget who Cao Wei's master is? That unreliable guy never told me."

The head manager finally realized that Cao Wei's real master was not Zhang He, but He Daqing.

So he slapped his forehead.

"Look at my memory."

Amidst these teasing remarks, a hint of joy flashed across Cao Wei's face.

Fengzeyuan's three stoves cost a total of 350,000 yuan, and they can also bring a dish every day.

Although he doesn't lack money now, he still needs to cover up his extravagant spending every day.

Setting up the stove solved his immediate problem.

As the shopkeeper departed, Sha Zhu offered his congratulations at the opportune moment.

Congratulations, senior brother.

Zhang He then gave Sha Zhu a piece of advice.

"You're still quite a ways off from your senior brother's level, but with a little effort, you'll be around the same next year. Don't embarrass me then."

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu's face lit up with joy, and he nodded eagerly.

"Yes, Master, I will definitely try my best."

However, Cao Wei's good mood only lasted until he got off work. The moment he saw the military control officers at his door, he knew everything.
