Chapter 147 Being Invited to the Leader's House Again
After Liu Xiuxiu followed He Yuzhu out of the courtyard, she turned her head slightly and said to He Yuzhu beside her: "Brother Yuzhu, I just saw Qin Huairu looking at us with a very complicated expression."
At this point, Liu Xiuxiu thought for a moment and continued, "I felt like she wanted to say something to us, but for some reason she didn't say anything until we walked out of the yard."
He Yuzhu's expression did not change when he heard this, and he replied nonchalantly: "Whatever Qin Huairu thinks, it has nothing to do with us. You don't have to think too much. Now you just need to be happy every day, which is the most important thing to me."
After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Xiuxiu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and then she jokingly said, "I know, my housekeeper. If you worry so much, be careful not to become an old man. Then I won't want you anymore."
He Yuzhu was not angry when she said that. Instead, he reached out and scratched Liu Xiuxiu's nose affectionately. The two of them walked towards Hongxing Street while talking and laughing.
After sending Liu Xiuxiu to the street, He Yuzhu turned around and walked towards the steel mill. When he arrived at the steel mill, he did not walk towards his office, but turned around and walked towards the third kitchen.
Before He Yuzhu entered, he heard Fatty bragging to Wang Ping about how delicious his cooking was yesterday. Wang Ping did not refute him and continued to agree with Fatty.
After hearing this, he didn't want to listen anymore, so he pushed open the kitchen door and walked in. Looking at the two people who didn't notice him, he walked up to them and said, "What are you talking about? Let me hear it too." After saying that, He Yuzhu looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
When the two heard what He Yuzhu said, they froze, and then they turned around at the same time. Wang Ping lowered his head and looked at his feet, not daring to look at He Yuzhu. The fat man looked at He Yuzhu awkwardly and said, "Master, you're here, hahahaha, that's great."
When Ma Hua heard what the fat man said, he looked up and said to He Yuzhu, "Hello, Master." Then he quickly lowered his head and nervously tidied his clothes.
He Yuzhu looked around the kitchen and nodded when he saw that everything was in order. Then he looked at the fat man and asked, "I just heard you say that you were praised for your cooking, but you can't be proud and complacent. You have to keep working hard. I will come to check from time to time."
Hearing this, the fat man puffed out his chest and said confidently: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely remain humble and will never be proud and complacent."
Ma Hua listened to the fat man's words. Although he felt a little envious, he was not jealous. He just stood aside quietly and listened carefully to the conversation between He Yuzhu and the fat man.
He Yuzhu was satisfied with the fat man's performance. So he turned to look at Ma Hua and asked gently, "Ma Hua, how about you? Have you adapted well in the past two days?"
When Ma Hua heard He Yuzhu's question, he stood up straight immediately, with a respectful and serious expression on his face. He replied, "Master, I am helping Master Tian. He said that he would let me take over after I am fully familiar with his stove and cooking skills."
After listening to Ma Hua's words, He Yuzhu also nodded, then raised his hand, gently patted his shoulder, and encouraged him: "If you encounter any problems or difficulties, remember to come to me at any time. Remember that you are my apprentice, and your master will make the decision for you."
Ma Hua was somewhat moved when he heard He Yuzhu's words, then nodded heavily at He Yuzhu, and thanked him, "I understand, Master."
He Yuzhu saw that Ma Hua understood what he meant, so he ignored him and took out the money he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to the fat man. He said, "Fatty, your master's wife said that you bought her food yesterday. Here is the money you paid for her food yesterday. Take it."
When the fat man saw the money He Yuzhu handed over, he quickly waved his hands and said, "No... no... no, Master, that meal was given to me as a gift to my master's wife. How can I take your money?"
He Yuzhu looked at the fat man's refusal look and insisted, "Fatty, you deserve this money. Your master's wife specifically mentioned that you cooked for her, and she asked me to give it to you. Take it." After saying that, He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and stuffed the money into the fat man's hand without any explanation.
He Yuzhu watched the fat man collect the money, nodded with satisfaction, said something to them, then turned and left the kitchen and walked towards the office.
Arriving at the door of the office, He Yuzhu pushed the door open and walked in. He walked to the desk, sat on the chair, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes.
He was indeed a little tired these two days. He hadn't rested well and felt exhausted both physically and mentally. Not long after he lay down, He Yuzhu's breathing became steady and he slowly fell into a deep sleep.
However, He Yuzhu felt that he had not fallen asleep for long when he was awakened by a hurried knock on the door. He opened his sleepy eyes, rubbed his face with his hands, trying to make himself look more awake, then sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said, "Come in."
The door creaked open. He Yuzhu looked at Director Yang's assistant Xiao Wang who walked in, stood up, and said as he walked over to him, "Assistant Wang is here. What's going on? Come sit down and talk."
When Xiao Wang heard what He Yuzhu said, he waved his hand to refuse and said, "Deputy Director He, I won't sit down. Director Yang asked me to tell you that I have to go to the leader's house to cook today. Time is a bit tight. You should pack up and follow me."
Hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately tidied up his clothes and followed Xiao Wang out, saying as he walked, "Assistant Wang, please ask someone to go to Hongxing Street Office to inform my wife Liu Xiuxiu to go home by herself today. I may not have time to pick her up after I finish cooking."
Xiao Wang listened to He Yuzhu's words without thinking and directly assured: "Deputy Director He, don't worry, I will notify you immediately after you leave, and I guarantee that there will be no delays."
After hearing Xiao Wang's assurance, He Yuzhu said to Xiao Wang with gratitude: "Thank you for your help, Assistant Wang." After that, he didn't say any more nonsense and instead quickened his pace.
He Yuzhu followed Xiao Wang to the gate of the steel rolling mill and saw a car parked there. It was the same car that took him there last time, so he knew it was here to pick him up.
Sure enough, as soon as He Yuzhu walked over, he saw the guard who had escorted him last time got out of the car, opened the door and said to him, "Deputy Director He, the commander is still waiting at home, let's go quickly."
He Yuzhu nodded to the guard and got into the car directly.
