Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Now, as long as it is confirmed that He Yuzhu is the person behind the scenes, Dong Yong has enough means to directly send He Yuzhu to work on the sewing machine!

Speculation depends on the person. If an ordinary worker like He Yuzhu dares to engage in speculation, he's courting death. There are a hundred ways to deal with him!

"Look at you, you need to be more cautious in everything you do. What we're discussing now is just speculation. We need to analyze the specific situation and strike at the snake's vital spot."

"Grandson, next, follow the clues to investigate. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is crowded and well-informed; it'll be easy to investigate. Go!"

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Two days have passed in the blink of an eye. Today is the opening day of the He family branch. He family restaurants have become a shining name card in Beijing.

Some people even take a car to eat at He's restaurant, which shows how popular it is.
Now, the opening of the He's Restaurant Dashanlan branch naturally drew a large crowd. Dong Yong, watching the bustling crowd at the He's branch from the Gongnongbing Restaurant, sneered to himself, "You won't be able to open today!"
Dong Yong's anger at this moment can be imagined. Good heavens, even if He Yuzhu is not the final mastermind, he is still inextricably linked to this person.

First, Grandpa's guess was indeed correct; that batch of electronic products arrived in Beijing from Hong Kong Island along with the machines imported from the steel rolling mill.
Second, according to a workshop director at the steel rolling mill, He Yuzhu took away that batch of goods, and Yang Weimin specifically asked the on-site personnel to keep it confidential.
Third, the sales channels are unclear. In other words, we can only be sure that He Yuzhu took those electronic products, but we have found no information about the sales channels, which vaguely points to the Zhang family.

There are several possibilities: First, the real mastermind is Zhang Huajian, and He Yuzhu acts as the liaison to contact suppliers. This is the one Dong Yong is most willing to accept, since Zhang Huajian and he are both family members and it is not shameful for them to lose.
Secondly, the real mastermind is He Yuzhu, and Zhang Huajian is just a participant. He Yuzhu controls a secret sales network with a very tight organization.

Is this possible? He Yuzhu's resume is very clean. Apart from the few years he worked as an apprentice at Fengzeyuan, he basically had no dealings with businessmen.

To be honest, it was only Lou Zhenhua who was involved. However, after investigating Lou Zhenhua, Dong Yong was certain that it was impossible for him to hand over the management network to He Yuzhu. This is certain.
Lou Zhenhua, who is known as Lou the Half-City, is certainly no ordinary person. His sales network is a trade secret, so how could he easily hand it over to an outsider? Has the Lou family never considered starting over?
If He Yuzhu is the mastermind behind this, then my reputation is ruined, and I will become a laughing stock in their circle!
At this moment, He Yuzhu had no idea that Dong Yong was watching him from upstairs in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant across the street, and even if he did know, he wouldn't care!
"MCA, are we all ready on our side? We might be taking the stage in a little while!"

After inspecting the kitchen, He Yuzhu smiled slightly at Ma Hua, who was busy at work. He thought to himself that his first disciple had graduated and was now able to manage a kitchen without any problems!
"Master, don't worry. The chef at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant is only so-so. I had someone buy two dishes to try, and they're no match for you. I can completely crush him!"

Since we opened a branch opposite the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant, we naturally needed to understand our competitors. Luckily, one of my friends from the MCA worked there.

It's no secret that the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant is preparing for this, especially since Dong Yong has been coming and going more frequently these past two days, indicating that he is plotting something!

“A cooking competition won’t cause serious injury, so this move isn’t very important. I’m worried that Dong Yong might have other tricks up his sleeve.”
Ma Hua, remember your master's words: no matter what happens, you must ensure the Ho's Restaurant operates normally; there can be no chaos!

He Yuzhu sneered. The so-called cooking competition was just an appetizer. What he feared was that other methods were being used. But what could they be?

He Yuzhu still couldn't understand why Han Chunming and Chen Xueru were both unharmed, which meant that the Dong family hadn't suspected anything about the electronic products.
If that's the case, what exactly were Dong Yong's methods? Since returning to the capital, Dong Yong has made no move, which raises serious suspicions!
"Master, will nothing bad happen? We're legitimate businessmen!"

When Ma Hua heard his mentor say such things for the first time, he immediately became nervous. For so many years, his mentor had always maintained an attitude of having everything under control. Now, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed unable to imagine the opponent's methods. This made Ma Hua feel a little uncomfortable, and for a moment he was at a loss!

"What's the panic? He's Restaurant is already on track, and the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant is no match for us if they make normal moves."
Dong Yong's actions were not normal, but his master was there to protect him. We cannot predict what might happen, so this is a precaution.
However, as long as everything goes smoothly at He's Restaurant, Dong Yong will be the loser. Even if someone tries to frame him, his master is not without ways to retaliate.
My concern is that if He's Restaurant falls into chaos, your master's wife won't be able to manage it alone. Remember, no matter what happens, the kitchen must remain calm and stable, understand?

He Yuzhu was worried that Dong Yong might break the rules and attract the attention of relevant departments. He, as the backbone of the kitchen, would have to deal with these people, and if things got chaotic in the kitchen, Qiuyue wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Master, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the kitchen won't be in chaos!"

MCA knows a crisis is looming, and their attitude is crucial at this time; otherwise, Dong Yong will succeed!

"Very good, I'll go over from the front. Remember, the kitchen must not be in disarray. No matter what happens, the customers are our bread and butter!"

"Yes, Master!"

The opening of the He family branch was not attended by any high-ranking leaders, only a factory director or someone of the sort offered their congratulations. As the curtain was lifted and firecrackers went off, the first branch of the He family restaurant officially opened.

The crowd that had been waiting began to swarm in. He's Restaurant doesn't require tickets, and the food is not only incredibly delicious but also has excellent service. This is no secret in Beijing. Now that a branch has opened in Dashanlan, we have to try it no matter what!

"You must be Mr. He Yuzhu? I'm sorry to bother you!"

He Yuzhu had just led the factory directors to the private room when he heard a voice. He turned around and saw, good heavens, could it be Grandpa Guan?
At first glance, he really does look a bit like He Daqing, especially his eyes. Hehe, I wonder if this person will turn out to be some kind of relative of mine?

"Old sir, you have a discerning eye. I am He Yuzhu. And you are?"

He Yuzhu pretended not to know anything and looked at Grandpa Guan. This man was like a living fossil. He was not only well-informed, but also a master of Chinese studies. He just had a passion for antiques!

"I am Han Chunming's appraisal mentor. We have long been friends through our shared knowledge. I came to congratulate you on the opening of your branch!"

After Grandpa Guan finished speaking, he took out a piece of calligraphy and painting. Anything that could be taken out by this old man was definitely not an ordinary item. However, He Yuzhu was completely clueless and couldn't understand it!

"I've heard so much about you, sir! Your title as the Nine Gates Admiral is legendary. I never expected to meet you here!" (End of Chapter)
