Chapter 193: Assistant Chen

Qin Huai met a new friend on the plane.

An assistant to a domineering CEO.

How should I put it.

There really are all kinds of strange people in first class.

This time, when Qin Huai was on the plane, he didn't watch teaching videos, but used his mobile phone to record the problems and specific analyses he encountered when making *san ding bao*.

He listed several specific problems, preparing to ask Huang Shengli and Zheng Da directly after returning to Huang Ji.

Because he was thinking and recording at the same time, Qin Huai couldn't help but read out loud as he recorded.

He had this habit when he was studying; at first, it was to memorize English words, writing with his hand while reading out loud. Later, it developed into using his mouth to say his train of thought when writing problems, and muttering while writing when writing essays.

In general, the more concentrated he was, the higher the probability of saying it out loud.

When analyzing specific problems on the plane, Qin Huai couldn't help but mutter out loud, and what he said was heard by the assistant in the next seat.

The assistant keenly extracted keywords such as *san ding bao*, meat filling, time, force, and dough from Qin Huai's long string of muttering, thereby concluding that Qin Huai might be a professional pastry chef or a related practitioner, and then took the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

People who can be CEO assistants usually have very good eloquence, and this assistant was even more outstanding among them. Qin Huai even felt that this Assistant Chen's eloquence was on par with Gong Liang's, a fifty-fifty split.

His voice was gentle, his logic was clear, his articulation was clear, and he was polite when speaking. When he suddenly tried to get close, it didn't make people feel abrupt, and chatting with him only made people feel like a spring breeze.

In the short journey, Qin Huai and Assistant Chen forged a not-so-deep friendship, added each other on WeChat, and went to the high-speed rail station together.

Assistant Chen's destination was the same as Qin Huai's, also Gusu. According to Assistant Chen, he was here in Gusu specifically to buy snacks for his boss's wife.

His boss had a child in his middle age last year and was recently in a period of career growth, with both family and career harvesting. This was originally a good thing. But the boss's wife had been in a bad mood after giving birth, and the boss had been very worried about this.

Two days ago, the boss's wife suddenly said she wanted to eat Suzhou-style snacks from Gusu. It just so happened that he had just finished connecting with a client in Shanshan and was going to Gusu for a business trip, so the boss asked him to buy some special snacks in Gusu by the way.

They must be special.

Although Assistant Chen was excellent in business ability, he was not a local of Gusu, and his understanding of Suzhou-style snacks was only on the surface.

Friends who travel often know that the biggest taboo when eating out is stepping on mines. As for the so-called netizen recommendations and public reviews on the internet, one should believe as little as possible, and Assistant Chen was no exception.

Although he had checked the information and restaurants on the internet in advance, he still had doubts in his heart. It just so happened that he heard Qin Huai muttering about *san ding bao* on the plane and felt that Qin Huai should be a professional, so he took the initiative to get close and strike up a conversation with Qin Huai, wanting to hear the recommendations of a professional.

"If you want to eat high-quality, non-mine-stepping, authentic Suzhou-style snacks, you have to go to Does Zhi Wei Ju in Hangcheng to buy them," Qin Huai recommended seriously. "Especially since you are buying them for your boss's wife, Does Zhi Wei Ju has a big reputation, good quality control, and special high-end snack gift boxes, which is most suitable for your situation."

Assistant Chen:?

"I'm not saying that Gusu doesn't have good pastry chefs; there are, like a pastry shop at the entrance of a certain residential area where Zheng Si... is very famous, but that pastry shop is currently under renovation and not open. The pastry chef is now working at Huang Ji, selling only two types of snacks every day, and the variety is very limited, which doesn't meet your requirements."

"The pastry chefs in other pastry shops or even large restaurants are definitely not as good as those in Does Zhi Wei Ju. Although Does Zhi Wei Ju is in Hangcheng, it is the most famous pastry restaurant in the industry, and there are many pastry chefs who are good at Suzhou-style snacks."

"As long as you are willing to spend money and find a way to make an appointment in advance, I believe it is not difficult to buy a snack gift box that meets your boss's wife's requirements."

Hearing Qin Huai say this, Assistant Chen showed a look of realization and nodded in instruction: "So that's how it is. Thank you, Master Qin, for the reminder. It's different to have pointers from professionals like you. Fortunately, I met you on the plane today, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been running around like a headless chicken in Gusu for the past two days."

Qin Huai dragged his suitcase, saw that the ticket gate had started checking tickets, waved his hand, which was both a farewell and an indication that it was a small matter: "It's just a small effort, it should be done."

"Assistant Chen, my train has started checking tickets, so I'll go first. If you have any other questions, you can ask me on WeChat. I also have some friends in the industry, so recommending restaurants and such is no problem. Bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." Assistant Chen waved with a smile.

Qin Huai checked his ticket and got on the train. After sitting down, he realized that he had chatted with Assistant Chen all the way, but didn't know what the other party's name was.

This couldn't be blamed on him; it was mainly because Assistant Chen's eloquence was too good, and he was young but had a lot of experience. As a CEO assistant, he was deeply valued by his boss and flew all over the world all year round, knowledgeable and able to talk about anything.

Assistant Chen's conversation was purposeful from the beginning, and the whole topic was in his hands. Although Qin Huai was a master of lies, he was far inferior to a professional like Assistant Chen in social discourse. He chatted happily with Assistant Chen all the way without thinking much, and finally found out that Assistant Chen wanted to ask him about restaurants, and felt that Assistant Chen was really overly cautious.

If he wanted to ask what restaurants had good snacks, he could just ask directly on the plane. They were strangers, and it was fate to sit in the next seat. Qin Huai was not the kind of person who was not good at socializing, so if Assistant Chen asked directly, Qin Huai would definitely answer.

To spend so much effort and take such a big detour to ask, Qin Huai could only say that these assistants were indeed meticulous and cautious in doing things.

Qin Huai sat on the high-speed rail and sent a message to Huang Jia, telling him that he would arrive in Gusu soon, would definitely be able to go to work on time tomorrow, and would go to Huang Ji after putting down his luggage later.

Huang Jia told Qin Huai not to rush, and that it would be the same to rest at home and come to Huang Ji tomorrow.

40 minutes later, Qin Huai opened the door of the rented house, saw the familiar smart home appliances all over the house, the spotless living room, the washed fruit and neatly placed snacks on the coffee table, and actually felt a kind of joy of returning home.

The only regret was that there were no cheese sticks in the refrigerator.

Qin Huai decisively placed an order for delivery.

While waiting for the delivery, Qin Huai sat on the sofa and brushed his Moments.

The first Moments that caught his eye was Gong Liang's. He didn't know which restaurant in Beiping attracted Gong Liang, but Gong Liang was enjoying himself in Beiping. He took his wife and children to eat, drink, play, check in, and take pictures every day, and post them on Moments. He was still in Beiping and hadn't returned, and looking at this posture, he estimated that he could eat for another week.

During this week, Qin Huai's neighbor was destined to be empty.

Qin Huai silently liked it.

The second Moments was Assistant Chen's, a very standard work Moments, forwarding product promotion links.

Qin Huai glanced at it, Good Taste Soy Sauce, such a simple name, never heard of it.

Also liked it.

The third Moments was Seeing Ouyang's. Seeing Ouyang rarely posted Moments, usually forwarding links like Assistant Chen's, such as community lonely elderly, creating a civilized and hygienic city, etc.

This time the Moments was different; this time the Moments was a bit headless and tailless.

【This time, I will take back everything I lost.】

Qin Huai was a bit confused, but still liked it.

Brushing down further, there was nothing interesting. College classmates were complaining that going to work was really too bitter, and iced Americano was more bitter than their own lives.

Liked.

Neighbors in Sanmalu residential area collecting likes to get toilet paper.

Liked.

Grandma Qin took a picture of the chickens raised in the yard.

Liked.

Qin Xiuli posted her unlucky son's terrible monthly exam report card.

Click... forget it, don't click this one.

Qin Huai liked Moments crazily like approving memorials. When he clicked on the Moments that Dong Shi posted last night about clocking out, the cheese stick delivery arrived.

Qin Huai ate two sticks first, put the rest in the refrigerator, packed up, and went to Huang Ji to see.

See what to eat tonight.

Just as he went out, he met a regular customer of Huang Ji in the residential area.

"Master Xiao Qin is back from Shanshan!" The regular customer saw Qin Huai and greeted him enthusiastically, "How is Shanshan, is it fun?"

This tone, those who didn't know would think Qin Huai went to Shanshan for a vacation.

"It's quite good. I'll be back after the vacation ends, and I'll be at work normally tomorrow. From tomorrow on, I won't make *wu ding bao* but only *san ding bao*. If you like it, remember to come and buy buns at noon."

"Definitely, definitely, as long as it's made by Master Xiao Qin, we like it, *wu ding* or *san ding* are the same."

When Qin Huai arrived at the entrance of Huang Ji, it was already 20 minutes later.

No way, the neighbors were too enthusiastic.

Just as Qin Huai was about to lift his foot and step in, he was called out. "Master Qin, what a coincidence. We just separated and met again here. I just happened to come to Huang Ji to find you, didn't expect to meet at the door."

Qin Huai turned his head and found it was Assistant Chen.

Qin Huai was a little surprised: "Looking for me?"

Assistant Chen's smile remained unchanged: "Yes, our boss asked me to come to Gusu to find you, and sent me a message after you got on the high-speed rail. I myself felt it was too coincidental, and was afraid it was someone who looked too much like you and recognized the wrong person, so I specifically came to Huang Ji to confirm, didn't expect to run into you at the door."

Qin Huai signaled Assistant Chen to go in, don't stand at the door of Huang Ji and talk. After entering, Qin Huai said to the waiter at the door and led Assistant Chen to find a seat in the corner by the window.

"Are you Master Qin Huai Qin? The Qin Huai of 'Night Mooring at Qin Huai Near the Restaurant'." Assistant Chen confirmed first.

Qin Huai nodded.

"You operate a community canteen in Shanshan, called Yunzhong Canteen."

Qin Huai continued to nod.

"That's it." Assistant Chen said with a smile, "Do you remember what I said on the plane, that our boss had a child last year? When our boss's son was one year old last year, because the boss's wife was in a bad state, it wasn't held in a big way. Our boss plans to invite relatives and friends to hold a big one for his birthday next year."

"The birthday is on March 19th next year. Our boss heard about your craftsmanship from a friend and wants to invite you to A City to be responsible for the snacks at the birthday banquet."

Qin Huai was stunned.

His first reaction was to search in his mind who the friend of Assistant Chen's boss was.

Xu Tuqiang?

Grandma Ding?

Grandpa Qian?

Wang Genqiang?

Or Gong Liang?

No, who is Assistant Chen's boss?

"Sorry, this matter is indeed a bit sudden. I want to ask, may I ask who your boss is..."

"Our boss's surname is Han, called Han Guishan. You can go online, whether it is the company's official website or the company's registration information, you can find him. Our company is called Good Taste, mainly selling soy sauce."

Qin Huai was still a bit confused, such a strange name: "Then your boss's friend..."

"Our boss's friend is a gourmet, very good at eating, you should not know him yet. Today our boss's friend went to Shanshan for the reputation to taste your craftsmanship, but it's not a coincidence that you came to Gusu today."

"Our boss got the news from his friend that you came to Gusu today, and you came to Huang Ji for exchange and study. So he ordered me to contact you and ask if you have any intention to take this job."

Qin Huai didn't resist this kind of private work that made money. A rich listed company boss was willing to let his assistant come from thousands of miles away to invite himself to be responsible for the snacks at his son's first birthday banquet, which was in itself an recognition of Qin Huai's craftsmanship.

As long as the price was right, Qin Huai felt that he had nothing to be pretentious about.

"Should... no, have your boss eaten the snacks I made?" Qin Huai asked.

Assistant Chen shook his head: "Should not have."

"If it's in March, I should have no problem here, but is your boss determined to set it without eating and tasting?"

"Didn't his friend also not eat it?"

Trusting a friend's recommendation so much?

Assistant Chen said: "As long as you have this intention, we can talk about the specific details later. As for the tasting you mentioned, after this matter is finalized, our boss will definitely invite you over or he will come over to do it."

"It just so happens that we have also added each other on WeChat, so I will contact you on WeChat for subsequent matters."

"By the way, thank you very much for your recommendation today. I just contacted Does Zhi Wei Ju, and they can indeed customize Suzhou-style snack gift boxes, as long as you make an appointment 5 days in advance."

"I won't disturb Master Qin, I'll go first."

Speaking, Assistant Chen got up and left in a hurry.

From the speed of his walking, it could be seen that Assistant Chen should still have a lot of work to do today.

Qin Huai:...

Is the work efficiency so high?

In just over an hour, Assistant Chen completed two major things ordered by his boss. And he only managed to go home and order delivery.

Professional assistants are indeed different.

However...

Assistant Chen, you still haven't told me what your name is.

Just when Qin Huai was sighing, the game prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering the side quest 【Assistant Chen's Wish】, please check it in the quest panel."

Qin Huai:?

Qin Huai looked around, no one, and clicked on the void openly.

Side quest:

2. 【Assistant Chen's Wish】: As a professional CEO assistant, Chen Gong is determined to defeat all his peers and become an all-around assistant in everyone's mind, doing what the boss needs is what he needs, and what the boss wishes is what he wishes. Please help Chen Gong realize his boss's wish and let the boss shine at Han Youxin's birthday banquet with snacks.

Quest reward: 【A dream segment of Chen Gong】, 【Chen Gong's affirmation】, popularity drainage +2000

Qin Huai:?

What an abstract quest.

Who is Han Youxin?

The big fat son that Chen Gong's boss Han Guishan had last year?

This character relationship is too complicated.

Where can I recruit such an outstanding and loyal assistant?

Also, why is a CEO assistant's wish to let his boss shine with snacks at his son's birthday banquet?

Your company, from the boss, to the assistant, to the boss's son, doesn't look very normal.

Qin Huai flipped to the illustrated handbook with a head full of question marks.

Sure enough, another one was unlocked.

Name: Chen Gong

Species: Unknown

Status: About to awaken

Dream: 0/?

Recipe: None

Gift: None

If there were no accidents, Chen Gong's status was the same as Gong Liang's, both were lucky spirits in the middle lifetimes who had a high probability of successfully passing the tribulation without external intervention.

It's just that...

Chen Gong was a bit more abstract than Gong Liang.

At this moment, Qin Huai finally understood why Chen Huihong and Luo Jun would say that the status of spirits in the middle lifetimes, especially their mental state, was not very normal.

It was indeed not very normal.

Qin Huai thought for a moment and sent a WeChat message to Chen Gong.

Qin Huai: Assistant Chen, I thought about it, it would be too time-consuming to wait for your boss to come over and finalize it. Are you free tomorrow? Do you have any snacks you like? Why don't you come over tomorrow and I'll make a few for you, you can taste the flavor first.

Chen Gong, who was sending a message to his boss, reporting his work progress, and reporting that he had successfully met Qin Huai and negotiated the birthday banquet matter:...?

Master Qin, was he so enthusiastic?

Chen Gong was made a little uneasy by Qin Huai's enthusiastic words.

He didn't lie, he just changed the order.

He first received the boss's birthday banquet task, learned that Qin Huai was going to Gusu when he went to Yunzhong Canteen in the morning, and urgently booked a flight, didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that they were on the same flight and were neighbors.

In order not to let Qin Huai have a preconceived bad influence on himself, Chen Gong performed the subsequent operations, making the coincidence really become a coincidence.

Chen Gong thought for a moment and replied to the message.

Chen: If possible, then thank you, Master Qin 【smiley face】 【smiley face】 【smiley face】
