Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 35: Banquet for Li Huaide

I was transferred to the third canteen in the afternoon, and the news of my transfer to the third canteen was not broadcast. I didn't expect it to spread to the yard so quickly.

Yan Jiecheng was surprised and puzzled at the same time.

I didn't do anything behind Sha Zhu's transfer, so why did they bring it up as a job grab? Isn't this just a deliberate attempt to ruin my reputation?
It is undeniable that it was because of my existence that Li Huaide and Director Wang transferred Sha Zhu to another position without hesitation, but what does this have to do with me?
Yan Jiecheng asked with a dark face.

"Dad, don't listen to Yi Zhonghai's nonsense. The main culprit for Sha Zhu's transfer is that old man. If he hadn't pulled Sha Zhu away at such an important occasion, Sha Zhu wouldn't have ended up like this."

……

Faced with Yan Jiecheng's explanation, Yan's father was skeptical and still a little unconvinced. In the end, Yan Jiecheng could only let it go.

Yan Jiecheng was feeling depressed, and Sha Zhu was not feeling well either. Sha Zhu was now hungry and sleepy.

Sha Zhu was locked up at noon, but he still hasn't had a drop of water. There is no bed in the small dark room, and the floor is too cold, so Sha Zhu has no place to sleep.

It was not until the next morning when Yi Zhonghai was about to go out to work and passed by Sha Zhu's house that he saw the locked door and realized that Sha Zhu had not returned all night.

Sha Zhu is Yi Zhonghai's most important supporter in the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai values ​​him very much, so he hurried to the front yard to ask Yan Fugui.

After learning that Sha Zhu was arrested by the Security Department, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but blame Yan Fugui.

"Old Yan, let me be honest, if it weren't for your family's Jie Cheng, how could Sha Zhu have suffered this crime?"

Yan's father is rather stingy and always talks about calculations. He would even let his family members suffer for some benefits.

But now Yi Zhonghai didn't make any contribution and was just blaming his son. He couldn't stand it anymore and immediately retorted.

"Old Yi, don't blame everything on my Jie Cheng. I asked my Jie Cheng last night. If you hadn't dragged Sha Zhu away that day, causing the factory's hospitality to almost go wrong, Sha Zhu would have ended up like this. Don't look for someone to take the blame every time something goes wrong. Everyone has sharp eyes."

Yan Fugui directly confronted Yi Zhonghai, who was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to speak.

"Humph, I'm in a hurry to go to work and I don't want to argue with you."

This scene at the gate of Yan's house was seen by Yan Jiecheng, who could not help but sigh in his heart that his adopted father was not bad as long as he did not take advantage of others to blind his eyes.

……

Maybe it was because Yan Jiecheng had just been transferred to the third canteen,

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at the kitchen in the morning, everyone in the kitchen was already there.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng, the fat man hurriedly handed the tea he had prepared long ago to Yan Jiecheng and said with a flattering look on his face.

"Master Yan, the tea is ready. Please sit down and rest for a while."

Ma Hua, who has always been known for his honesty, quickly moved a chair and placed it next to Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing how attentive the two were, Yan Jiecheng felt a little embarrassed and quickly stopped them.

"Okay, stop with all this nonsense. Just get back to your work and don't waste your time."

After sending the two away, Yan Jiecheng walked around the kitchen, then came to the chopping board and started helping cut vegetables.

After the vegetables were cut, it was almost time, so Zhou Wanli and Lin Hai began to prepare to cook the big pot of food.

Cooking a big pot of food is not an easy job. Not only do you have to control the heat and adjust the taste, but the key is to have enough strength, after all, there are more than a thousand people eating.

Seeing Zhou Wanli and Lin Hai busying themselves, Yan Jiecheng couldn't just stand by and watch, so he also walked over to the stove and started working.

Yan Jiecheng is not just pretending, but is actually working hard. In terms of speed and quality, he is much better than Zhou Wanli and Lin Hai.

This surprised everyone in the kitchen who was watching the excitement nearby. You know, when Sha Zhu was around, he rarely cooked big pots.

After finishing the big pot of food, Yan Jiecheng tidied up briefly and went to Director Wang's office.

"Director, you are busy."

Director Wang was very satisfied with Yan Jiecheng. When he saw him coming to the office, he immediately asked him to sit down.

"Jie Cheng, come, sit down quickly. Are you used to the third cafeteria?"

"That's fine, Director. This is how I feel. I was able to transfer this time. Thanks to you and Director Li, I don't know how to thank you enough. I thought I'd cook a few of my signature dishes in the cafeteria tonight, and I'd like you to give Director Li your comments and suggestions."

(Many people may find Yan Jiecheng's words a bit humble, but if not, how can others give you a chance? When you are weak, it is appropriate to make compromises. Isn't this what life is all about?)
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's respectful attitude, Director Wang would naturally give him face.

"I don't have any problems on my end. I'll ask Director Li later. If he doesn't have any other plans tonight, he should give me this favor."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he asked Yan Jiecheng to wait in the office for a while while he went to report to Li Huaide.

Director Wang soon returned to the office and told Yan Jiecheng that he could start preparing.

After receiving the reply, Yan Jiecheng immediately left the office building, ran outside the factory for a walk, and then returned to the canteen kitchen with a sack on his back.

After taking out the ingredients from the sacks one by one, Yan Jiecheng directed Ma Hua and Fatty to help clean up.

He himself pre-cooks everything that can be processed.

When it was time to get off work, Yan Jiecheng asked everyone in the kitchen to go home except Liu Lan.

The reason why Liu Lan was left behind was because Liu Lan was already entangled with Li Huaide at this time, so there was no need to avoid her.

Not long after, Director Wang came to the kitchen and said to Yan Jiecheng.

"Jie Cheng, the factory director is here, you can serve the food."

"Okay, Director, please chat with the factory director first. I'll serve the food right away."

After saying hello to Director Wang, Yan Jiecheng started to get busy.

Fuqi Feipian, spicy rabbit meat, braised pheasant, eight-treasure duck, braised pork, boiled fish fillet, turtle soup, a total of six dishes and one soup.

As Liu Lan brought the dishes into the private room one by one, Yan Jiecheng's meal was quickly finished.

When Yan Jiecheng finished his work and came to the private room, people were already drinking.

Li Huaide did not avoid others, but sat directly with Liu Lan, behaving very intimately.

Director Wang sat a little further away from the two of them, leaving them enough space.

After seeing Yan Jiecheng, Li Huaide immediately greeted him.

"Jie Cheng, you've worked hard. Come sit down and have a drink."

Yan Jiecheng quickly sat down next to Director Wang, then raised a glass of wine to toast him.

"Director, thank you very much for taking the time to honor me. I'd like to offer you a toast."

After saying that, Yan Jiecheng raised his glass and drank it all.
