wood, bring me here

"I made this steak. If you two have any questions, please ask me. It has nothing to do with Manager Li."

A gleam of light flickered in Li Jie's eyes, and then disappeared in the night-like eyes in an instant.

Turning around, he looked at Qin Shaoyang with cold eyes: "You go back to the kitchen first, and I will find you later."

The man tightened his lips, stared straight at Li Jie, and did not back down: "Manager Li, this steak was made by my hands. I know the problem best."

Li Jie said in a firm tone: "I am the person in charge, and all problems will be borne by me."

"no……"

"The two of you are not finished yet!"

The fat man was furious, "Hurry up and give me an explanation, or I'll call the newspaper immediately and let you Lijing be on the front page of D city tomorrow. I want them to see it. It is known as the best in D city." This is what a five-star hotel does!"

At this time, Xiao Wang from the western food department also arrived. Seeing the situation on the scene, he sweated and said, "Manager Li, this..."

Li Jie shook his head slightly, and said to the fat man: "Sir, please don't be angry, we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter." Li Jie thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's too early , why don't you go to our suite to rest for a while?"

The fat man blushed and said, "No need! Don't try to dismiss me, my baby and I will just sit here and not leave!"

Seeing the other party put on a posture of staying here, Li Jie raised his eyebrows.

"Then how do you want to solve it?"

"It's very simple! As long as you can eat this steak, I won't pursue it with you," the man rubbed his chin and said triumphantly, "How about it, should you eat it or not?"

Li Jie picked up the knife and fork, cut off a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, followed by another large piece.

Qin Shaoyang stood beside him, watching Li Jie repeat a movement mechanically, clenched his palms tightly.

Same as that time, I still can't do anything, I can only watch him suffer such humiliation.

Qin Shaoyang only felt that his chest was tight and uncomfortable, and he wished he could rush over and snatch the knife and fork from his hand, and eat it for him himself.

After Li Jie finished the last bite of steak, he resisted the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach and said, "Both of you, I've already finished eating it. Is there any problem?"

"Boy, you are cruel! Baby, let's go!"

The man stomped his foot hard and pulled Xiaosan away.

As soon as the two of them left, the waiter hurried forward to ask, "Manager Li, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

Li Jie waved his hand, his face was pale, and he said to Xiao Wang: "What's the matter with this steak?"

Xiao Wang looked innocent: "I don't know, the smell of the steak is normal, and I didn't find anything unusual when cooking."

Li Jie lowered his eyes: "Are there any problems with the raw materials?"

Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, then said: "It should be no problem... We have always used this company's raw materials..."

"Any extra ingredients in the kitchen?"

"There should be more, Manager Li, please come with me."

Li Jie nodded, his eyes flicked across the man's facial features: "You go too."

"Yes."

The three came to the kitchen of the western food department. Xiao Wang took out the frozen steak ingredients from the freezer and handed it to Li Jie: "Manager Li, look, the color of this steak is very positive, there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Jie opened the package and smelled it. There was indeed no peculiar smell. He handed it to Qin Shaoyang: "Take a look."

The man smelled the smell, then lightly pressed the surface of the steak with his fingers, and shook his head: "It seems to be all right."

"That's strange. Could it be that some problematic beef was mixed in this batch of goods? Then it happened that there was something wrong with that piece just now? It shouldn't be possible. This supplier's goods have never had any problems before..."

Xiao Wang muttered, puzzled.

Li Jie was also a little confused about what went wrong, so he told Xiao Wang: "You go back first, and I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, then trouble Manager Li."

Li Jie nodded slightly and walked out of the western restaurant kitchen, and said to the man behind him with a straight face, "Come with me."

The man lowered his head and followed.

The two walked one after the other to an empty place, Li Jie leaned against the wall, took a deep breath, trying to relieve the discomfort in his body.

"Brother, do you want it? I think you look very bad..."

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Why did you go into this muddy water? Qin Shaoyang, do you think you are not busy enough?"

The man lowered his head and put his hands between his legs, like a primary school student who did something wrong: "Brother, I'm sorry, I think those two people are here to find fault, I don't want to embarrass you, so I..."

Li Jie asked back: "This kind of thing is very common, but what do you have to worry about?"

The man shook his head and tried his best to explain: "No, brother, I just want to help you, I have no other intentions..."

"I don't need your help. You are just a little chef. Even if something happens, what can you help?" Li Jie raised his chin and spoke sharply: "Since you came in, Lijing's eyes have all been covered. Keep an eye on you, especially the people in the catering department, everything you do now may affect your future, if someone uses this matter to make a fuss, even I can't help you."

The man still lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, I shouldn't have done things without thinking, and made you worry."

Li Jie frowned: "Forget it, fortunately it didn't cause too much loss. Although the remaining raw materials are fine, it doesn't mean that those that have been sold are fine, otherwise, such a thing would not have happened just now , " After a short pause, Li Jie continued: "Do you still remember what happened to you before?"

The man was taken aback, and quickly understood what Li Jie was referring to: "Brother, you mean..."

Li Jie nodded slightly: "Today's incident is mostly related to the purchasing department. Who do you think is the most likely?"

The man's pupils shrank: "Brother, is it Mao Yun... is it..."

"There is no evidence yet, we cannot draw conclusions without authorization..."

The discomfort in the stomach came up again, mixed with the weird smell of beef, Li Jie tried his best to hold back so that the man didn't see his strangeness: "You go."

"Brother, are you not leaving?"

Frowning fiercely, Li Jie said, "I still have something to do..."

"Brother, your complexion is very bad, do you want to..."

The man took a step forward and put his big hand on Li Jie's shoulder.

The familiar breath and strong feeling impacted Li Jie's senses and thoughts, he slapped it away with his backhand: "No need..."

There was a hurt expression on the man's face, but he didn't continue, but said goodbye to Li Jie gently and left.

As soon as the man walked away, Li Jie immediately leaned on the wall and retched.

Slowing down a little, he got up and continued walking forward, wanting to go back to the office to rest as soon as possible, but the pain became more and more intense.

It was as if a tube had been inserted into the stomach, and it was overwhelming, as if a fire with needles was burning in the body, constantly stimulating the nerves.The distance that was not long before became long because of the pain.

Finally, when he walked to the door of the office, Li Jie finally couldn't hold on and squatted on the ground, and then fell into darkness.
