Siheyuan: Breaking off an engagement? Thanking the grace of not marrying

However, Sha Zhu also saw that among these people, Li Huaide should have the highest status, so he explained with a smile: "Leader, the jar contains an eight-year-old hen, which is cooked with authentic game mushrooms from Sijiu City and the best Huadiao wine over a low fire."

As he spoke, Sha Zhu opened the seal of the wine jar.

Suddenly, a rich fragrance filled the air.

Li Huaide couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes lit up, "It smells so good!"

"Jia Dongxu, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring the food over!"

Hearing Li Huaide's praise, Sha Zhu felt secretly proud. He turned around and looked at Jia Dongxu who was in a daze, with some anger on his face.

If I had known, I would not have let Jia Dongxu come along to help serve the dishes. He looks so stupid and silly.

He is the head chef of these three canteens. Don't let Lou Zhenhua think that he, the head chef, is mismanaging and hiring anyone he wants, and have a bad impression of him.

Jia Dongxu finally came to his senses and immediately brought the dishes on the plate to the table.

Sha Zhu introduced: "Leaders, this is osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, as the last dish of today."

“This dish may seem simple, but it does take a lot of effort and time to make. However, its soft, sweet taste is absolutely delicious!”

After hearing this, Li Huaide did not drink the old hen soup immediately. Instead, he picked up a piece of glutinous rice lotus root, tasted it, and immediately squinted his eyes, "Okay, osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root is really delicious! After eating and drinking, a piece of this will not only relieve the greasiness, but also whet the appetite!"

After saying that, Li Huaide took the bowl of chicken soup from Sun Qiang, took a deep sip, and felt refreshed.

After drinking a bowl of chicken soup, I didn’t feel so dizzy anymore.

Li Huaide immediately looked at Sha Zhu, "Comrade, what's your name?"

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "Leader, my name is Sha Zhu."

Li Huaide nodded. "Shazhu, Shazhu, a fool has good fortune. This is a good name. Did you cook all these dishes?"

Sha Zhu said proudly, "Of course, leader, are you satisfied with my craftsmanship?"

Li Huaide poured a glass of wine for Sha Zhu, "That's quite satisfying. I just praised you to Director Lou and the others. Your cooking skills are better than those of the chefs in the Eighth Building. Come, I'll toast you with this glass of wine!"

Sha Zhu immediately took the wine glass from Li Huaide with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.

Wow, this Maozi wine that costs eight yuan a bottle is really delicious!

Jia Dongxu looked at Sha Zhu with some envy. He could actually drink with a big boss. Maozi must taste delicious, right?

After drinking a glass of wine, Sha Zhu felt a little dizzy and started chatting with Li Huaide again, telling him how these dishes were made and how particular they were.

Li Huaide was also a person who liked to eat, drink and have fun. He was just looking for something new and listened with great interest.

In response to Sha Zhu's actions, Bai Lu looked at Liu Jianshe.

Liu Jianshe smiled and shook his head. He knew that with Sha Zhu's personality, he and Li Huaide would never get along.

This was the first time the two of them met.

What Liu Jianshe is thinking about now is whether Li Huaide will follow the previous trajectory and enter the steel mill after he came to this strange world?

At this moment, Li Huaide is the office director of the Ministry of Industry, which is a pretty comfortable job, no worse than working in a steel mill.

On the surface, Li Huaide was having a great time chatting with Sha Zhu, but he would still glance at Lou Zhenhua and Liu Jianshe's reactions from time to time.

This meal was originally hosted by Lou Zhenhua and others, but Li Huaide was unhappy at the moment and didn't want to chat with you leaders. He just wanted to chat with the chef Sha Zhu.

Just to piss off Lou Zhenhua and the others.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Li Huaide knew that the time was almost up. He came here mainly to get a general understanding, and he would have to report on his work when he returned in the afternoon.

He said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, I will come to the steel mill often in the future. Other things don't matter, but I must eat this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root."

Sha Zhu said cheerfully: "That's great! Okay, I won't bother you guys anymore..."

Sha Zhu turned around and saw Jia Dongxu still looking stupid and dazed. He patted Jia Dongxu and said, "What are you doing here? Are you interrupting the leader from talking about business?"

Jia Dongxu followed Sha Zhu out of the small restaurant, and then looked at Sha Zhu with admiration, "Chef, I really didn't expect you to be so capable of talking to a big boss for so long! Even Director Lou and the others were listening to you."

Sha Zhu's face was filled with pride. "What's the big deal? Think about it. Since I came to work in our factory, haven't we received more and more orders? All this is due to my contribution! Which customer doesn't like the small pot dishes I make?"

"However, I think the leader here today is not simple! Director Lou, Director Yang, and Liu Jianshe are all here together. He must be a big leader!"

"Okay, stop being silly. You must be discerning in front of your leader so that he will remember you. Got it?"

Sha Zhu's words finally woke Jia Dongxu up.

Where had he seen such a scene before?

Moreover, I have been wondering who the leader who came today is...

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu hurried to Sha Zhu and said, "Thank you, Chef, for your reminder. Can you please ask me to come with you next time when you serve the dishes?"

Sha Zhu narrowed his eyes and looked at Jia Dongxu, "Okay, since we are from the same courtyard, I can take you with me."

How could Sha Zhu not know what Jia Dongxu was planning?

As for Jia Dongxu, he is a useless guy, who would take a second look at him?

In the small restaurant, Li Huaide said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm really sorry, everyone. I don't have any hobbies. I just wanted to eat, and I couldn't control myself, so I chatted with Sha Zhu for a while longer."

Lou Zhenhua smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as Director Li is satisfied with our arrangement. We still have to work in the afternoon, so this is the end of the wine, and we won't continue drinking..."

Li Huaide said, "Of course. Director Lou, you can just do your thing this afternoon. Today, I will mainly meet with Director Liu to learn about the organizational structure and general situation of the steel mill, so that I can go back and report to the leader."

After the drinking party, Liu Jianshe brought Li Huaide and a group of four to his office.

After some conversation, at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Huaide and his group of four left in a car.

In the car, because there were other people from the Ministry of Industry in the car, Sun Qiang did not say a word.

Liu Jianshe had just taken a sip of tea when the phone on the table rang.

It was a call from Lou Zhenhua.

Liu Jianshe said something to Bai Lu and went to Dong's office.
