Chapter 393: Being cheated
Sha Zhu raised his head, looked at Aunt Wang gently, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Oh? Really? I have heard a little about this."
Aunt Wang was a little surprised when she saw Sha Zhu's indifferent reaction: "You kid, don't you usually love to join in the fun? Why are you so calm this time?"
Sha Zhu shook his head slightly, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes: "As for me, I really feel lucky this time. Thanks to Brother Wang Jianye, he reminded me a long time ago that there is no such thing as a free lunch, and that you will suffer a great loss if you try to get a small advantage. I thought this made sense, so I didn't get involved."
Having said that, Sha Zhu's face showed an even more sincere smile, as if he was thanking himself for his rare clarity and rationality.
"Look, now they are all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but I feel at ease in my heart."
Aunt Wang nodded and gave Sha Zhu an approving look. "Sha Zhu, you may look silly sometimes, but you are really decisive at the critical moment. People need to be as clear-headed as you."
Sha Zhu smiled naively and said nothing more.
He stood up, dusted himself off, and walked back into the house.
The relief and gratitude in my heart are like the mottled sunlight under the old locust tree, warm and bright.
……
Sha Zhu stepped into Wang Jianye's restaurant, and the door curtain swayed gently, bringing in a breeze from the outside.
"Brother Wang, it's just as you expected, it's amazing!" As Sha Zhu walked in, his voice was filled with a bit of anxiety and joy.
Wang Jianye saw Sha Zhu's happy face and couldn't help but smile and said, "Tell me in detail."
Sha Zhu walked up to Wang Jianye and said seriously, "Brother Wang, I have to thank you very much. I heard today that Liu Haizhong and his gang were arrested for smuggling TV sets. I was so relieved. If you hadn't reminded me in time that day, I might have been involved in it."
Wang Jianye patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You're welcome. We brothers should help each other. By the way, how are Liu Haizhong and the others now? Are they not sick because of this?"
Sha Zhu shook his head and sighed, "Not yet, but they are all as anxious as ants on a hot pot, especially Yan Fugui. I think he is almost sick from worrying about it. However, this is their own fault. Who told them to be greedy?"
Wang Jianye sat behind a large desk with his hands crossed on the table, his eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.
He looked at Sha Zhu who was standing in front of the table and slowly asked, "Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, do you have any plans for Xu Damao this time? You can't just let it go like this, right?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu frowned slightly, and a look of indignation appeared on his face.
He shook his head and said firmly, "They will definitely not let Xu Damao go easily. They suffered heavy losses this time and almost got into big trouble. How can they swallow this?"
Having said that, Sha Zhu paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts.
"But they don't have a clear plan on how to deal with Xu Damao. After all, this matter involves many aspects, so we have to be careful and not alert the enemy." Wang Jianye nodded, showing his understanding: "Well, you are right. Xu Damao is a sinister and cunning person, and it is indeed difficult to deal with him. However, I believe that you are not easy to deal with, and you will definitely come up with a way to deal with him."
When Sha Zhu heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, as if he was inspired by Wang Jianye's words. "Brother Jianye, don't worry, I will ask them again when I get back. We will never let Xu Damao get away with it, and we must make him pay for what he did!"
……
the next day.
Sha Zhu stepped into Wang Jianye's office again, exhausted, with a tired but unconcealable excitement on his face.
He walked straight to the desk, and before he could even stand still, he couldn't wait to speak: "Second uncle and third uncle came to settle accounts with Xu Damao last night."
Hearing this, Wang Jianye put down the documents in his hand, raised his head, and his eyes were full of curiosity: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Sha Zhu took a deep breath and described the incident vividly: "Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong found Xu Damao and wanted to ask for an explanation, but Xu Damao was adamant and refused to admit his fault. He also said something like 'business is risky and investment should be cautious', and insisted that he had warned them a long time ago and it was their own greed that insisted on leaving him and going to You Fengxia. As soon as these words came out, Yan Fugui fainted from anger, and Liu Haizhong was even more furious and wanted to attack on the spot."
When Sha Zhu said this, he couldn't help but clench his fist, as if he could still feel the force of the punch just now.
Wang Jianye listened to Sha Zhu's story with a frown on his face, his eyes revealing his disgust and dissatisfaction with Xu Damao.
But he quickly regained his composure, patted Sha Zhu's shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Sha Zhu, don't get excited. We have to handle this matter calmly. People like Xu Damao always bully the weak and fear the strong. We can't let him succeed."
"Right! We can't let him off so easily!" Sha Zhu said indignantly, "Then Uncle Yi Zhonghai came forward and advised both of us to calm down. He said that we should hold a meeting of the whole hospital to discuss this matter. Brother Jianye, do you think I should go back and participate? After all, you are also a member of the hospital."
Wang Jianye shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm very busy with work right now, so I may not be able to spare the time to go back and participate. You can go back on my behalf, help me find out the situation, and come back to tell me."
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu immediately patted his chest and assured, "Brother Jianye, don't worry! Leave it to me! I will definitely find out the truth for you!"
Sha Zhu arrived as promised and walked into Wang Jianye's office with a complicated expression on his face.
"Brother Jianye, I attended a hospital-wide meeting last night. It's the same thing, but the situation is a bit complicated." Sha Zhu said as he sat down on a chair opposite Wang Jianye, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Wang Jianye put down the pen in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Sha Zhu seriously: "Tell me, what did you say at the meeting?"
Sha Zhu sighed and began to narrate: "Xu Damao is still the same as always, refusing to admit his mistakes. He said that he was lucky not to participate in the smuggling business, and turned around to blame Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong for being too greedy, which led to the loss of money. He spoke so confidently, as if he was really not wrong at all."
At this point, Sha Zhu's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "What's even more infuriating is that there are people in the hospital who actually stood up to plead for Xu Damao and agreed with what he said. They said that Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong had no evidence. Even if they were dissatisfied, they could only swallow their anger."
