Chapter 474: The boss thinks highly of you (Bonus chapter for the alliance leader donation from Xueping Ting Jian Lai)

What is the most important thing in starting a group?

Support!

Qin Huai had very rich experience in fooling spirit creatures and getting close to them. He knew the importance of support in such occasions. A good support could make any seemingly outrageous topic become reasonable, and could pull a topic that had already run a hundred thousand miles away back to the main point.

Qin Huai's previous gold-medal support was Shi Dadan.

Now it could also be.

Unfortunately, Shi Dadan's child was on summer vacation, and he had to return to his family temporarily, so he could only temporarily choose Tan Weian.

Qin Huai deliberately didn't tip off Tan Weian in advance. Tan Weian's biggest problem was that he couldn't control his mouth. This could be seen from the fact that the first sentence of every master chef in Zhi Wei Ju when starting a topic was, "I heard from Little Tan."

But Tan Weian also had his advantages.

He reacted well, was especially good at playing along, could lie with his eyes open at critical moments, and knew how to fool people.

With Tan Weian's foundation, fooling Wang Gensheng and Gong Liang definitely wouldn't work, but fooling An Youyou was more than enough.

Poor Three-Legged Golden Toad—she hadn't read many books, had always been helping to sell breakfast in a small town in her hometown, hadn't seen much of the world, and finally came out to work, but her first job was at the Cloud Canteen, where she also had no work experience. Basically, she believed whatever others said; she was just too easy to fool.

The very easy-to-fool An Youyou's brain had crashed a bit.

She started to wonder if it was because she had only received nine years of compulsory education and hadn't even gone to high school, so her cultural level was too low, and her Chinese grades weren't good when she was in school. Why did she feel like she couldn't understand human language?

What did the boss say just now?

Said he thought highly of her and wanted to train her to take over the Cloud Canteen.

Isn't this the plot that only appears in short videos—where you find a paper ball on the ground during an interview, throw it into the trash can, and an old grandfather jumps out from the corner, grips your hand, and says you are the talent our company is looking for, young man, I appreciate you, education and ability don't matter, the most important thing is character, I want to train you to be the CEO of our company?

Dr. Qu had also told her to watch fewer such short videos, as watching too many would make her brain stupid.

An Youyou fell into confusion.

She started to think about whether Dr. Qu's brain had a problem, or the boss's brain had a problem, or her own brain had a problem.

An Youyou thought while eating meatballs. Confusion aside, she had to eat. There was only this pot of stew on the table, and Tan Weian was her powerful competitor, with a glorious record of eating until he was hospitalized; his appetite couldn't be underestimated.

Seeing An Youyou keep her head down and eat without speaking, Qin Huai asked gently, "Is there any concern?"

An Youyou swallowed the beef meatball in her mouth, not daring to ask the question in her heart: "Boss, did you watch too many short videos and break your brain?" She opened her mouth very cautiously: "Master Qin, were you talking about me just now?"

"I only know how to make steamed buns, vegetable buns, and meat buns. I don't even know how to make shumai. Me, take over the Cloud Canteen in the future? Are you joking?"

Hearing An Youyou say this, Qin Huai suddenly realized that everyone had never truly understood An Youyou.

Everyone's methods before were too gentle and not radical enough.

Almost everyone said that the Three-Legged Golden Toad was born to love money, especially liking money obtained without effort, so everyone concluded that An Youyou's tribulation failure must have something to do with money, and they were very afraid that throwing money at her would lead to bad results.

As a result, now Qin Huai had delivered the pie to her mouth, and she wouldn't even bite it—very unlike a Three-Legged Golden Toad.

Just how much social beating did she receive when she was a beggar in her first life to have her true nature beaten away? You have to know that the mayfly's nature of courting death is engraved in its bones after experiencing so many things. The Three-Legged Golden Toad hadn't reached her last life yet and hadn't completely forgotten it, but she had already started to refuse money obtained without effort.

Qin Huai, who had rich experience in fooling children, knew very well that talking about logic and reason in such a completely illogical and unreasonable matter definitely wouldn't work; he had to play the emotional card.

"Because I saw the shadow of my past in you," Qin Huai said.

"Ah?" An Youyou was even more confused, not even eating the meatballs. She found that she really couldn't understand Qin Huai's speech; she understood every word, but when put together, she didn't understand what it meant.

Tan Weian also slowed down his eating speed, wanting to see what kind of nonsense Qin Huai could pull out.

"You should know that I grew up in a children's welfare academy when I was a child."

"Qu County is just a small county town, and the conditions of the children's welfare academy were very limited. Mother Director always wanted to try her best to give us the best things, but there really wasn't anything to give. Because of some special reasons, I was always treated as a fool by everyone when I was a child, so even though I was a healthy male infant, I was never adopted."

Tan Weian nodded, indicating he had heard of it; Qin Huai's bad brain was a sequela left over from childhood.

"As the healthy children in the welfare academy were adopted one after another, by the time I grew up to eight or nine years old, I was almost the only healthy child in the welfare academy."

"So I had to help do many things since I was a child, take care of children younger than me, help knead dough to make buns and steamed buns, and sometimes help farm. Because the conditions in the welfare academy were bad, I had never been to an amusement park before I was adopted by my parents, nor had I been to an aquarium. Before the fifth grade of elementary school, I had only seen two movies, and they were organized by the school. The teacher knew my situation was special and didn't collect my movie ticket money."

"Later, I was adopted by my parents. Because my family opened a breakfast shop, I often had to help in the shop. In high school, I helped classmates bring buns, and after graduating from college, I went home directly to take over my dad's shift."

"I think you are very similar to me."

"When you came to apply for the job, you said this was your first time leaving your hometown and your first time in a city outside. Actually, I was the same. I went to college in Shancheng, and that was my first time leaving the province."

"You said you hadn't been to an amusement park. I hadn't been to one when I was a child either. Later, my sister loved to go to amusement parks, and I would accompany her to ride the roller coaster sometimes."

"You said you had to help in your family's breakfast shop when you were in your hometown, and you had to get up at one or two in the morning every day. I understand; the breakfast shops in our small county towns are just small profits but quick turnover." ===== CHAPTER 475 =====
