Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 105 Don't talk nonsense, she and I are just ordinary colleagues

Li Guixiang hurried back to the cafeteria only after Du Shaojie and Qin Xiaomei had prepared dinner.

"Master Du, I'm sorry, Deputy Director Lin wanted to talk to me and delayed my work. I'll come get the food later, and then I'll clean up the kitchen by myself. You guys can leave work early."

Li Guixiang's attitude was still good, but she did not touch upon the content of the conversation at all.

Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously. It was just a small matter with the cafeteria. Now that the welfare subsidy had been cancelled, there was nothing for anyone to find fault with.

As long as it is not a matter of principle, it doesn’t matter if Lin Zuo makes a fuss about some trivial matters.

Li Guixiang was a little absent-minded afterwards. She remembered what Lin Zuo said. As long as she could completely side with the other party, he agreed to help her solve the work quota problem.

This was of great appeal to her, so when Lin Zuo asked about the previous vegetable greenhouse, she told him everything.

At the same time, he also told Lin Zuo that Zhao Dajun, Du Shaojie, Wang Liwen, Chu Xiaowei and Qin Xiaomei and her husband often ate and drank together, and they were in the same group.

In addition, she also told Lin Zuo that Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen had an unusual relationship. Wang Liwen had the key to Du Shaojie's house and often helped him wash clothes and sheets.

Lin Zuo felt very satisfied, and asked Li Guixiang to keep a close eye on the supplies in and out of the canteen, and at the same time to observe Wang Liwen and Du Shaojie more.

Once you discover any situation, report it to him in time.

Therefore, no unit can be a monolithic entity. As long as one is determined, one can always find a way around it.

Lin Zuo himself made his fortune by collecting dirt on others. Since he couldn't find any evidence against Zhao Dajun for the time being, he planned to start with his confidants, focusing on Du Shaojie and Wang Liwen.

Especially Wang Liwen. She escaped last time, but I’m afraid she won’t be so lucky in the future.

After finishing his work, Du Shaojie went straight home from get off work.

After a simple meal in the evening, he asked Xiaomei to call Wang Liwen over. There was no need for him to remind Zhao Dajun, as Qin Xiaomei would report to him as soon as she went back.

But he wanted to warn Wang Liwen: "You should be careful with Li Guixiang in the future and try not to have any contact with her. Lin Zuo often calls her to talk recently, so we have to be more careful."

Wang Liwen is a college graduate with good business skills, but she is a little naive in some aspects.

The big incident that happened last year had already been defined by the higher-ups, but she still got involved and wrote some of her thoughts in her diary. So, it is right to have a sense of justice, but it is stupid not to know how to protect yourself and speak carelessly.

"Yeah, I know. I don't care about what's happening outside anymore. Even if I have any ideas, I'll just keep them to myself and won't tell anyone, let alone write them down."

It seems that Wang Liwen has learned her lesson and understands everything immediately.

Du Shaojie was relieved and changed the subject.

After Wang Liwen left, Wang Yuxiu sighed: "This girl has all the qualities, but she's a little too old, so she's not suitable."

"Mom, what are you thinking about all day? I'm only 19 years old, it's not the time for me to think about this. Besides, Dr. Wang and I are just ordinary colleagues. You dare not say anything nonsense and let others catch you."

Du Shaojie heard what Wang Yuxiu said and almost laughed out of anger.

But he did not lose his temper, but patiently explained.

Wang Yuxiu was not well educated, but she would never harm her son. So after hearing what Du Shaojie said, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand.

Then he nodded continuously.

Du Shaojie smiled and said no more.

The farm is usually very quiet in winter, and as the number of people dining there decreases, the few people in the cafeteria also become less busy.

The Spring Festival is only ten days away. Employees who have taken leave to visit their families are leaving one after another, and those who stay to celebrate the New Year have also begun to prepare New Year's goods.

This morning, the farm sorted out the oil, and regular employees and farm workers (temporary workers) were all given two pots of 10 kilograms each. Zhao Dajun got this from the farm next door, and it was cheap and didn't require a ticket.

In addition, the field also provided appropriate subsidies.

Du Shaojie was carrying two bottles of oil and walking home. Not long after he left the site, he saw a jeep driving towards him.

The grass green color of the jeep car body seemed a bit dazzling in the sun. When passing by Du Shaojie, the jeep braked suddenly, scaring him.

"Master Du, long time no see!"

The car window opened, and Director Cai stuck his head out and greeted Du Shaojie.

"Long time no see! Director Cai, why are you here?"

Du Shaojie didn't understand the situation for a moment, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes when he looked at the other party.

"You come up first, and we'll talk in the car."

Director Cai pointed to the back seat of the car, and Du Shaojie got in carrying two bottles of oil.

Then I asked him for directions and sent him home first.

"Director Cai, can you come in and sit down? The house is a bit messy, please don't mind."

They had already arrived at the doorstep, so out of politeness Du Shaojie had to invite the other party in.

Of course, he felt that the other party would most likely not agree.

"Okay, go in and have a cup of hot water. It's been freezing all the way."

Unexpectedly, Director Cai was not polite at all. He immediately opened the car door, jumped out, and stomped his feet a few times.

The insulation of the jeep was obviously not very good, and her feet were numb from the cold. Then, she called the driver, and the two followed Du Shaojie into the yard.

"Guests are here. Please take a seat. I'll make you some tea."

Wang Yuxiu saw her son bringing two strangers into the house and stood up with a smile. Xiaomei and Xiaoya were very sensible. After greeting the guests, they ran outside to play.

Soon the tea was ready, Wang Xiuyu poured tea for several people, and then went to the kitchen. Although she had little experience, Director Cai naturally had a sense of authority, and it was obvious that he was a big leader.

She subconsciously gave the guest space to speak.

The driver drank a cup of tea and when he was almost warm, he went out to the yard on the pretext of checking the car.

"Master Du, please forgive me for coming here so rudely today! To make a long story short, the director is going to invite a very important guest to dinner at home tomorrow, and you and Master Liao are indispensable, so I came here specially to pick you up."

Director Cai held the teacup in his hand and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

The words were very polite, but in fact, Du Shaojie was not given the opportunity to refuse. The guests from Beijing like Sichuan cuisine, especially [Daqian Dry-fried Fish] and [Boiled Beef].

Therefore, she had to invite Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin to cook no matter what.

"No problem for me. I'll go ask the manager for leave in a moment."

Du Shaojie was very clear about his own value. Since people came all the way to pick him up, he naturally agreed.

It would definitely not be possible to just get in the car and leave. At least he had to get Zhao Dajun's consent, otherwise it would be considered absenteeism.

"You don't need to ask for leave. I'll just consider it as your business trip. I think your manager should have received a call from his superior."

Director Cai was very satisfied with Du Shaojie's attitude. As the saying goes, "Train your troops for a thousand days and deploy them for a moment." Only at this time can you see a person's heart clearly.

Unconsciously, she had already classified the other party as one of her "own people".

Du Shaojie nodded. He was used to the other party's style. Seeing that it was almost noon, he asked: "Director Cai, how about we have lunch before leaving? I'll go make two dishes, it will be quick."

"No need to bother. Isn't there a cafeteria on the farm? Let's eat there."

Director Cai didn't want to cause trouble for Du Shaojie, so he decided to go to the cafeteria to eat.

After Du Shaojie was allocated the cooking oil, he was going back to the cafeteria, but he met Director Cai and was delayed for some time. It seems that the dinner today will have to be delayed.

The two of them quickly arrived at the cafeteria in a jeep. Many people saw Master Du and a woman with an elegant temperament get out of the car and walk into the cafeteria together.

After taking Director Cai directly to the private room, Du Shaojie hurried to the kitchen.

"Master Du, where have you been? I've been looking for you everywhere. Director Wu from the bureau called me just now and asked me to obey the arrangements of the superiors and provide you with all conveniences. Where is the leader?"

Zhao Dajun was anxiously waiting for Du Shaojie. He had just talked to Wu Mingde on the phone and learned that someone from his superior was coming to take Du Shaojie away, saying that there was an important mission.

He didn't dare to delay, and ended up running to the cafeteria, only to find no one there.

"Director Cai is in the private room. We'll have lunch in the cafeteria. Wait for me, I'll cook the food and then go with you."

"Why are you cooking? Let Qin Xiaomei and Li Guixiang take care of lunch. Hurry up and make two dishes. I've brought bacon and eggs. You can do whatever you want."

"Okay, I'll get it done right away."

Du Shaojie didn't waste any time and immediately started cooking. Before long, a dish of [Stir-fried bacon with green peppers], a dish of [Stir-fried eggs with green onions], and a dish of [Braised tofu] were brought into the private room.

The staple food is steamed bun, and there is also a pot of [pickled mustard tuber and shredded pork soup].

"Director Zhao, this is Director Cai."

After finishing their work, Du Shaojie and Zhao Dajun walked into the private room together.

After introducing the two parties, Zhao Dajun was obviously a little embarrassed. He couldn't afford to offend someone who could make Wu Mingde call him personally.

"Manager Zhao, thank you for your hospitality. Would you like to sit down and have a meal together?"

"No, no, you guys eat, I have something else to do. Master Du, after dinner you can go with Director Cai, don't rush back, you must complete the task successfully."

Zhao Dajun did not stay, but found an excuse and left.

Du Shaojie had no choice but to accompany Director Cai and the driver for lunch, then went home to pack up. At the same time, he gave Wang Yuxiu a few instructions and drove straight to Compound No. 1.

At this time, Liao Yongxin had already arrived.

The two immediately began to discuss tomorrow's menu. They needed to make a list of what ingredients and side dishes were needed, and if anything was missing, Director Cai would have someone prepare it.

The existing dried goods need to be soaked, and braised dishes also need to be braised in advance. The two of them were busy until night before leaving.

After returning home, Du Shaojie washed up and went straight to bed. He was quite tired after the day.

The next day.

Du Shaojie came to Director Luo's house early in the morning.

The time for the dinner was scheduled for noon, so he and Liao Yongxin started working early and made all the preparations in advance.

Today's two main dishes, [Boiled Beef] is made by Liao Yongxin, and [Da Qian Dry-fried Fish] is prepared by Du Shaojie.

The other six hot dishes were also prepared by one person, three, and Liao Yongxin was fully responsible for the four cold dishes.

　The dormant period is almost over and a new chapter is about to begin.

　　I'd like to make a small recommendation today at noon. Can I ask for a monthly ticket?

　　Thank you all!
