Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Boss Qin and Ye Chen were the closest of friends. When the incident happened, his first thought was not to hold Ye Chen responsible, but to help Ye Chen solve the problem and find a better way to handle it.

Hearing that there were no casualties, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and gratefully shook Boss Qin's hand.

"Well, the railing on the third floor isn't very sturdy. Let's go down to the second floor first, and I'll have Luo Ling find a private room to have a proper chat."

"That meal really scared everyone. I've personally decided to add another 1000 yuan to everyone's membership cards later. I just hope you can help me out and not talk about it after we leave!"

Ye Chen's explanation minimized the impact. Everyone present today was a friend of Boss Hu or Boss Qin, and seeing Ye Chen's generosity, they all patted their chests and assured him.

Finally, Ye Chen arranged for the others to be placed in a private room, where they were served fine wine and food at a separate table.

Then he led Boss Hu and Boss Qin to a small private room.

"Brother Hu, what exactly happened?" With no outsiders around, Ye Chen's tone finally became much more serious.

"Brother Hu, I trusted you to handle the entire project. Everything was fine during yesterday's inspection. How come the quality of the renovations has already deteriorated so drastically just today, during the trial operation?"

"If anyone fell from the third floor, even if they didn't die, they would be seriously injured. My restaurant wouldn't be able to stay open at all; it would probably have to close down right then and there!"

Boss Hu knew how serious this matter was, and dared not argue with Ye Chen's complaining tone.

Instead, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "This matter was indeed my responsibility. When I first heard your design, I anticipated the potential dangers. I personally oversaw the selection of materials for the railings!"

"I can guarantee that there are absolutely no problems with the design drawings. Isn't there some kind of misunderstanding?"

After spending time together, Ye Chen also got to know Boss Hu's temperament. Although he was a very easygoing person, he was also a very stubborn person.

If it's Mr. Hu's own mistake, there's absolutely no need to hide it. Now that the other party is so confident in guaranteeing it, there must have been a problem somewhere that no one else knows about!

"Boss Hu, please find the design drawings. There's a big problem now. Let's check everything one by one. The most important thing is to solve the problem!" Ye Chen immediately began to analyze.

Upon hearing this, Boss Hu nodded repeatedly and, without saying another word, turned and left.

After a short while, Boss Hu returned, panting heavily.

They placed the engineering drawings directly in front of Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, take a good look. The restaurant's design drawings are all here. The materials and layout details are clearly marked. You're someone who knows your stuff, so take a look and see if there are any problems!"

Hearing Boss Hu's confident tone, Ye Chen took the design drawings to his eyes, but after just one glance, he immediately noticed something amiss.

"Boss Hu, something's not right with this. Come and take a look for yourself!"

Mr. Hu craned his neck and quickly stepped forward to inquire.

Following the direction Ye Chen was pointing, a gasp escaped his lips the next second.

"No, this design is wrong. This isn't the one I submitted for your approval!"

"For stability, I specifically noted that the railings along the edge of the rooftop had a concrete base, making the railings and the rooftop renovation a unified whole!"

"But this blueprint shows planting through holes! This method of fixing is utterly ridiculous! No wonder the railing collapsed as soon as it was leaned against; someone is clearly sabotaging us!"

Mr. Hu's explanation finally revealed the truth of the matter.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded repeatedly: "That's right. When you submitted the design drawings to me for approval, you specifically emphasized this point. It's a safety issue, and I've also taken note of it. It's definitely not this kind of design."

"So, it seems someone switched the engineering drawings. Mr. Hu, those involved in the project were all your own people. Shouldn't you be asking them who's responsible?"

"All my employees used to be from the same village as me. We all share the same surname in our village, and we're all related by blood. We always help each other out when something happens, so I can absolutely trust those relatives!"

After pondering for a long time, Boss Hu immediately began to analyze, "This was definitely not something my subordinates did recklessly. Oh, right, I've got it! If we're talking about switching the blueprints, there's another person who had the opportunity!"

In just a moment, Boss Hu thought of Zhang Shaoyang. As the two spent more time together, Zhang Shaoyang would go to Boss Hu's office every afternoon.

Boss Hu was completely unsuspecting of him, allowing Zhang Shaoyang to conduct his investigations in his office.

Whether it's timing or motive, Zhang Shaoyang is the most likely one to have switched the blueprints!

"What exactly happened? Who is this person you're talking about?"

Faced with Ye Chen's questioning, Boss Hu finally told the truth about his communication with Zhao Shaoyang, explained the reasons, and repeated what Zhang Shaoyang had said to him before.

Upon hearing the last part, Ye Chen sneered, already certain that Zhang Shaoyang was the one who had sabotaged this whole affair!

"Boss Hu, you've been fooled by Zhang Shaoyang this time. My relationship with him is far more complex than that! This kid has caused me trouble time and time again; he even tried to frame me and get me imprisoned!"

"He even attacked my family, not even my father-in-law. My feud with the Zhang family is irreconcilable; there's no misunderstanding whatsoever."

"Zhang Shaoyang definitely tried every means to get close to you, gain your trust, and then switch the blueprints. If we hadn't started our trial operation today, it would have been too late to undo the damage if something had gone wrong!"

"This...sigh, it's all my fault!" Upon hearing Ye Chen explain the reason, Boss Hu stomped his foot angrily and cursed under his breath.

"Zhang Shaoyang, that bastard! I thought he was reliable, but now it seems he's clearly full of tricks. From now on, don't even mention you; if I ever see him again, I'll make him pay!"

"Alright, Boss Hu, what we need most right now is to expedite the rectification. I'll pass the notice down right away, postpone the opening date, and you quickly gather your people here. Demolish the entire rooftop area, including the railings, and rebuild it!"

Ye Chen frowned and rationally instructed, "This time, I'll trouble Boss Hu to personally supervise, especially the location of the third-floor rooftop. There absolutely cannot be any mistakes."

"Furthermore, I suspect that Zhang Shaoyang did more than just this one thing. There must be more than just this one blueprint in your office, right? So I suggest that Boss Hu take a closer look when you get back."

"Knowing Zhang Shaoyang as I do, this kid won't give up until he gets what he wants. He's probably pulled a lot of strings, all to prevent us from finding out, and also to bring me down once and for all!"
