~9 min read 1,780 words

Due to being warned and righteously executed by Master Zhou, Zhao Chengan didn't dare to let Qin Huai make dim sum again for the next few days, and even stared at Qin Huai to prevent him from making dim sum.

As long as Qin Huai showed a slight inclination to make dim sum, even if this dim sum wasn't the Auspicious Cloud-Patterned Pastry, Zhao Chengan would block it with his life, absolutely not letting Qin Huai's hand touch the dough even once.

This teaching mode made Tan Weian's tears almost fall, only hating that he couldn't take his place.

Such a unique teaching mode directly led to Qin Huai having nothing to do every day. Besides staring at Zhao Chengan making dim sum, he was supervising Tan Weian not to be overly lazy, as well as giving pointers to Gu Li and incidentally wandering around everywhere to find something to eat.

For a moment, Qin Huai felt that he wasn't here for an exchange at all; he was here to be a supervisor, whose main job was to supervise these two chatting kings, Zhao Chengan and Tan Weian.

Of course, Qin Huai, this supervisor, wasn't competent or responsible. During his supervision period, Tan Weian was caught on the spot by Master Zhou, Master Hua, Master Zhao, Master Zhang, and Master Wang many times when he was slacking off. Master Hua was even more upright and reported this behavior directly to Boss Su, leading to Tan Weian being deprived of all his holidays this month and losing the opportunity to dine together.

But it doesn't matter; there are people to help eat the meals that Tan Weian can't eat.

An Youyou eats them.

With Huang Xi's help, An Youyou successfully sublet the house that still had half a year to go within a few days, and incidentally sold the electric scooter that was already second-hand as third-hand.

Unlike Qin Huai's business trip method of carrying a small suitcase with a few changes of clothes and setting off lightly, An Youyou brought a full 4 extra-large suitcases to Hangcheng this time, three of which were borrowed from colleagues.

In order not to pay extra for air freight, An Youyou specifically bought a high-speed rail ticket. When Qin Huai went to the station to pick up An Youyou, seeing that she could actually get so many suitcases out of the station by herself, his first reaction wasn't to think about how she carried these suitcases onto the train, but how she could have so many things that needed to be packed into suitcases.

All the answers were explained the moment the suitcases were opened when Qin Huai sent An Youyou to the house in the residential complex where she was staying.

As Qin Huai's employee, An Youyou's accommodation was naturally arranged by Qin Huai. If he wanted convenience, Qin Huai could entrust this matter to Boss Su; anyway, Boss Su still had several houses in the residential complex near Zhi Wei Ju.

But considering that the rent in the residential complex near Zhi Wei Ju was not cheap, and An Youyou, an apprentice here for an exchange, living in such a good house, the connection would be a bit too obvious. After asking Tan Weian, Qin Huai found an agent and rented a one-bedroom house on the first floor with an elevator for An Youyou within a range of about 3 kilometers from Zhi Wei Ju, where the rent was relatively cheap.

The facilities near the residential complex were complete, with small supermarkets, fruit shops, small restaurants, and grocery stores all available, which was very convenient for An Youyou to purchase daily necessities upon arrival, and the bus station was near the residential complex, so it was very convenient whether taking the bus to work or riding an electric scooter to work.

When Qin Huai rented the house in this residential complex, he felt that he was simply a boss who was thoughtful to the extreme, thinking of even such small things.

As a result, the moment An Youyou opened the suitcase, Qin Huai knew he had thought too much.

His employee was even more thoughtful, bringing everything, from the four-piece bedding set to toothbrushes, toothpaste, and gargle cups, lunch boxes, bowls, chopsticks, and dish soap, and even the tissues and laundry detergent that hadn't been used up from hoarding before the New Year, and the air purifier sent by Chen Huihong were all brought along.

She even brought two air purifiers. Chen Huihong had bought a bit too much recently, and the air purifiers hoarded at home took up too much space. Hearing that there was extra space in An Youyou's suitcase, she asked An Youyou to bring one more to send to Qin Huai.

Qin Huai really didn't expect that he could still see the air purifier that Chen Huihong was sending to everyone in Hangcheng.

An Youyou's 4 suitcases caused Qin Huai great shock, leading Qin Huai to be a bit distracted when he was a supervisor at work the next day, starting to think about whether he had really never worked before. Was there something wrong with An Youyou, or was there something wrong with him, or was there something wrong with both of them?

As for An Youyou, she integrated very well; to be precise, Zhi Wei Ju was very tolerant of apprentices.

Zhi Wei Ju had relaxed the standards for recruiting apprentices in the past two years. If An Youyou was regarded as an apprentice who had just entered Zhi Wei Ju, her level wasn't bad, and she could even be called quick-handed and strong, which was the type of apprentice that some masters would like.

Coupled with Tan Weian's vigorous promotion, there was no one among the apprentices at Zhi Wei Ju who didn't know that An Youyou came from the Cloud Cafeteria for further study.

An Youyou didn't compete with them, wouldn't stay at Zhi Wei Ju for a long time, didn't cause trouble, and was a little girl with a good personality and temper, so the apprentices at Zhi Wei Ju naturally welcomed her.

Of course, the most critical thing was that the apprentices at Zhi Wei Ju were all counting on going to the Cloud Cafeteria for further study in the future, and they very much needed to get along well with the head of the helpers who had a very good relationship with Master Xiao Qin of the Cloud Cafeteria.

An Youyou worked like a duck to water at Zhi Wei Ju, and not a single one of the workplace precautions Shi Dadan specifically wrote for her was used.

But it doesn't matter; it was used on the day of the meal.

Tan Weian couldn't come, so Qin Huai mentioned to Zhao Chengan whether An Youyou could be called along. It was a 4-person dinner anyway; what 4 people wasn't a gathering?

After Zhao Chengan agreed readily, An Youyou asked for leave, which was successfully approved, and she appeared as a substitute in Tan Weian's envious gaze.

When Qin Huai met An Youyou, who was carrying a fruit basket, at the gate of Zhao Chengan's residential complex, Qin Huai knew that An Youyou definitely hadn't read the workplace precautions he sent over.

Shi Dadan was carrying a large fruit basket, An Youyou was carrying a small fruit basket, and Qin Huai was holding an air purifier. Anyone who saw this trio would have to sigh that it was truly a gathering of heroes.

Unlike most personal disciples and masters who lived near Zhi Wei Ju for the convenience of work, Zhao Chengan was probably the person among this group who lived the farthest from Zhi Wei Ju.

His home was a full 20 kilometers away from Zhi Wei Ju, living in a high-end residential complex where the housing price was only slightly lower than the Cloud Residential Complex. The surrounding facilities and environment were very good, and it was a school district house. When the three of Qin Huai were holding things and wanted to enter the residential complex, the security guard directly told them to register, saying that takeout should be placed in the security booth, and someone from the property management would send it to the owner later; delivery personnel were not allowed to enter the residential complex.

After the three of Qin Huai explained that they were visitors, the security guard couldn't find the reservation information and was very cautious, questioning them for a full 5 minutes before letting the three in.

During those 5 minutes, Zhao Chengan's phone never got through, and he didn't know what he was busy with. After the call got through, he only said two sentences in a hurry and hung up.

"Youyou, where did you buy this fruit basket?" Qin Huai looked at An Youyou's fruit basket and found that An Youyou's fruit basket was bought quite uniquely, different from those sold on the market, and the fruit combination was very rich.

Bananas, pears, apples, peaches, kiwis, grapes, and mangoes were all there, and there was even a cucumber and two tomatoes inside. There was a kind of beauty that just wanted to stuff fruit into it hard, regardless of styling and color matching.

"Master Xiao Qin, this is a fruit basket I put together myself." An Youyou said proudly, "The fruit baskets in the fruit shop are too expensive. I bought this basket on a local second-hand trading platform, self-pickup, and it only cost 5 yuan. The fruit was bought at the fruit shop at the gate of the residential complex. I picked a few of each. When I piled them over this morning, I found that two apples and a banana had too many spots and didn't look good, so I temporarily stuffed the cucumber and tomatoes from home to make up the number."

"How is it? Good-looking, right!"

Shi Dadan listened with eyes shining, opened his eyes wide, carefully examined An Youyou's fruit basket, and sighed: "To think you can DIY a fruit basket; it was really a miscalculation. If I had known, I would have bought a bigger basket and made a bigger one."

An Youyou smiled happily, cast her gaze toward the air purifier Qin Huai was holding, and asked: "Master Xiao Qin, why did you bring the air purifier that Sister Hong asked me to bring to you?"

"There is an air purifier in the house I'm living in now, and it just so happens that Zhao Chengan is missing one, so I brought it." Qin Huai explained, "Zhao Chengan lives on the 6th floor. He said he would come down to pick us up, let's wait."
