Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

At the same time, at the steel rolling mill, all the things that Sha Zhu had stolen from the factory over the years had been counted one by one.

Although several years have passed, if you really look into it carefully, the matter is actually not complicated.

First of all, Sha Zhu would take away three lunch boxes every day. This had become his habit for many years and he could not change it.

Everyone in the cafeteria knew about this situation, especially Ma Hua and Fatty. Sometimes they were the ones who packed Sha Zhu's lunch box.

Yesterday, when the people from the logistics department came to the cafeteria to conduct an investigation, everyone in the entire Third Cafeteria, except Ma Hua, opened up without hiding anything and revealed everything that Sha Zhu had done over the years.

Even Fatty, Sha Zhu's favorite apprentice, revealed Sha Zhu's deeds to the investigators without reservation.

In fact, it cannot be blamed on the fat man for betraying his teacher and ancestors. It is all because Sha Zhu is too cruel. In this respect, he has learned a lot from Yi Zhonghai and has even surpassed Yi Zhonghai.

When other people teach their apprentices, they always keep some tricks to themselves, but when Sha Zhu teaches his apprentice, he doesn't teach him anything at all.

You see, Ma Hua and Fatty have been learning from him for a year or two, but they are still still cutting vegetables. They haven’t learned any cooking skills at all, and they are often beaten and scolded by Sha Zhu.

Only someone as stubborn as Ma Hua would follow Sha Zhu so wholeheartedly. If it were anyone else, they would have cursed Sha Zhu's ancestors behind his back.

It's easier to understand if other people have this reaction.

As the saying goes, don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

Sha Zhu is the ultimate in this regard. Relying on his good cooking skills and the support of Director Yang, he not only ignores the canteen director, but also looks down on other people.

You see, if there is a banquet in the canteen, if there are any leftover dishes, he has to pack them into lunch boxes first, and he will pack three lunch boxes at a time. When he is finished, there is basically only some soup left.

This is the real thing: I eat the meat and you drink the soup.

After that, Sha Zhu became even more arrogant. Every time a banquet was prepared, he would start putting the food into the lunch boxes as soon as it was ready.

Not only that, he also directly skimped on the ingredients of the banquet. For example, for a stewed pot of chicken soup, he only used half a chicken and put the other half directly into a lunch box and took it home.

This situation became more and more common later on.

In addition to the staff inside their cafeteria who can prove that Sha Zhu has been stealing supplies from the cafeteria for years, the security department can also prove it.

The staff on duty at the security department guarding the gate witnessed Sha Zhu leaving the steel mill with three lunch boxes every day. This situation almost never stopped, except in the first half of this year.

However, because they also knew that this was approved by Director Yang, they never stopped Sha Zhu.

Secondly, the canteen had to go to the warehouse every morning to collect the ingredients needed for the day. It was Sha Zhu who went to collect them, including the ingredients for the reception meals, which were all taken away after his signature.

The warehouse manager will keep detailed records of how much of these ingredients are taken each time and what they are.

Therefore, we only need to calculate the average value of the items Shazhu carries every day.

What’s surprising is that the amount of food that Sha Zhu stole from the steel mill over the years was calculated to be about 450 yuan!

This is not just ordinary theft, but a serious infringement of state property, which is far worse than stealing Zhou Jin's 700 yuan.

If the steel mill decides to punish severely, Sha Zhu will face at least 20 years in prison, and he might even have to eat peanuts!

At this moment, Li Huaide was sitting in his office, carefully reading this detailed statistical report. There was a hint of pride on his face, as if he had already seen himself becoming the head of a steel mill.

Naturally, he would not let Sha Zhu off easily, not only because Sha Zhu did not get along with him, but also because he usually did not take him seriously at all.

More importantly, Sha Zhu is Director Yang's man and is Li Huaide's most critical chess piece in his plan to overthrow Director Yang. The more severe the punishment Sha Zhu receives, the greater the negative impact he will have on Director Yang.

Therefore, after receiving this statistical report, Li Huaide confirmed the authenticity of the data with the person who came to report it, and then had him sent directly to the police station.

The police station had originally planned to transfer the case of Sha Zhu and others to the court for trial today, but the steel mill directly sent this statistical report, as well as a report from the steel mill about Sha Zhu stealing the mill's state property.

Now, the police station can only detain him for another day to interrogate Sha Zhu first, to find out what happened at the steel mill, and then transfer them to the court together.

In the dim interrogation room, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

Sha Zhu sat on a chair, his face pale and his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, which flickered faintly under the light.

Sha Zhu opened his mouth slightly and breathed a little rapidly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the fear in his heart.

His eyes were wandering, sometimes looking towards the door as if expecting someone to show up, and sometimes quickly avoiding the sharp gaze of the public security personnel, like a child who had done something wrong but refused to admit it.

Opposite Sha Zhu were two serious public security officers. They stared at Sha Zhu with sharp eyes as if they wanted to penetrate his soul.

"He Yuzhu, now the steel mill has sent someone to report the case, saying that they have been checking the use of food ingredients in the canteen over the years and found that you have been taking lunch boxes home to apologize for the food ingredients in the steel mill canteen for several years, with a total value of about 450 yuan. Do you admit this?"

A public security officer asked the first question, his voice steady and powerful.

When the public security officers asked questions, Sha Zhu suddenly raised his head, his body began to tremble slightly, and a hint of panic appeared in his eyes.

He twisted his body restlessly, and the chair made a slight scraping sound on the ground.

Sometimes he scratched his head with his hands, sometimes he touched his nose, these small movements all showed his inner nervousness and panic.

Finally, Sha Zhu stretched his neck, with the veins on his neck slightly bulging, and shouted, "I didn't steal! What I brought were just some leftovers, it would be a waste to leave them alone. Besides, it was Director Yang who allowed me to take the lunch box home."

As he spoke, his hands clenched into fists, trembling slightly, as if he was trying to give himself courage.

The public security officer frowned slightly, "You said Director Yang agreed to let you take the lunch box home, do you have any evidence?"

Sha Zhu was speechless for a moment. He didn't have any evidence. He just said stubbornly: "Do I need evidence? Everyone in the factory knows that Director Yang treats me well. He must have agreed to let me bring a lunch box."

"He Yuzhu, we are acting in accordance with the law and cannot rely solely on your one-sided statement. If you cannot produce evidence, then it will be difficult to explain this matter clearly." The tone of the public security officer became more severe.

Sha Zhu's lips trembled slightly. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

His eyes were full of helplessness, like a beast in trouble.

"He Yuzhu, we have already investigated. Other staff members in the cafeteria also reported that you take three lunch boxes home every day, and the ingredients inside are obviously beyond the normal range. How do you explain it?" the public security personnel continued to ask.

Beads of sweat appeared on Sha Zhu's forehead. He knew the seriousness of the matter, but he was unwilling to admit that he had stolen something. "I am not guilty. I just didn't steal. You can't wrongly accuse a good person."

Sha Zhu's face turned pale. He didn't expect that others would betray him. "They are jealous of me and deliberately framed me. The lunch boxes I brought are all leftovers from every day. There is nothing beyond the normal range."

The public security officer sneered, "Do you think we will believe you? We have already learned that the food needed in your canteen every day is rationed according to the number of workers, and there will basically be no leftovers.

Even if there are leftovers, it should only be an occasional situation, not like you do, where you have to bring three lunch boxes home every day.

How much leftovers would there be? There are only two possibilities that could lead to such a result. One is that after you prepare the meal, you fill your own lunch box first, and then start serving food to others.

Another possibility is that you were stirring the wok for the workers when they were serving their meals, otherwise there wouldn't be so many leftovers.

We also learned that when you were preparing a reception meal for the canteen, you would pack the prepared meals into lunch boxes in advance and then serve the dishes. Sometimes you would even pocket the money directly, taking one chicken and leaving the other half for the reception meal.

We have witnesses to all of this, He Yuzhu, you must know that those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely. If you continue to be stubborn, you will be severely punished by law."
