Chapter 2518
Gu Bing felt there was no point in staying here, so he stood up and stretched, "Nothing going on, I'm going back."
Zhou Andong said without raising his head, "If there's nothing going on, go to the hospital to look around, offer condolences to the injured, and check the arrangements for the memorial service for the two victims. Also, the selection of outstanding teachers and the Special Contribution Award—you are responsible for this. Find a time to communicate with the three principals and get a charter out as soon as possible."
"Alright then!" Gu Bing walked out lazily, "I'm going now. I'll be back at noon to go to the hospital with you to see Yu Miao."
After leaving the office, Gu Bing passed by the factory office. The door wasn't closed, and it was noisy inside. Gu Bing walked in out of curiosity. Then he saw Su Su sitting on a table by the window, and the empty space on the table next to her was piled high with food.
Melon seeds, walnuts, apples, oranges, cakes, shortbread, milk candies, chocolates, etc. —it really had everything, piled up like a small mountain. And Su Su was sitting on the table, dangling her two little feet, eating a piece of chocolate in her hand.
"Hiccup!"
Su Su hiccuped and chuckled at Old Four, who was sitting in a chair next to her gnawing on an apple, "Old Du, I want to drink water."
"Su Su is so cute, let Big Sister kiss her." A little girl picked up Su Su's little face and kissed it, "Wait a moment, Big Sister has something delicious here."
After finishing, the little girl ran to her workstation and actually took out two boxes of Wangzai milk from her drawer. In this day and age, this was definitely good stuff, belonging to high-end products; ordinary people couldn't bear to buy this stuff to drink.
"One for Su Su and one for Ningning." The little girl inserted the straws, put one in Su Su's hand, and placed one on the table in front of Old Four.
"Thank you, Auntie!" Su Su thanked her crisply, then hugged the little girl's neck and gave her a kiss on the cheek, which made the little girl extremely happy.
"Thank you, Big Sister!" Old Four also thanked her very politely, but she didn't touch the milk and continued gnawing on the apple in her hand.
"Su Su!" A middle-aged woman asked with a loving face, "Auntie has all kinds of delicious things; are you coming tomorrow?"
A fashionably dressed young woman touched Su Su's hair with a smile, "Su Su, if you come tomorrow, Auntie will bring you more delicious things."
Su Su blinked her innocent big eyes, looking at the aunts and sisters surrounding her, and then at the mountain of delicious food piled beside her, her little face full of conflict. Because she missed Great-Grandpa, and tomorrow Grandpa was going to take her to Great-Grandpa's house.
But there was so much delicious food here, and she was a little reluctant to leave. Now her little head was very conflicted, not knowing what to do. Should she come here with her father or go see Great-Grandpa?
"I'm going to see Great-Grandpa tomorrow, I can't come."
In the end, Great-Grandpa defeated the food, and the little girl chose to go to Great-Grandpa's house.
Gu Bing stood at the door, watching the scene before him, and couldn't help but laugh; this girl had actually become a group pet. Then he shook his head slightly and turned to leave. Because everyone's attention was on Su Su and Old Four, no one noticed Gu Bing standing at the door.
The morning passed quietly. Old Four returned carrying a large plastic bag, filled to the brim with food. Su Su, following behind, was no exception, also carrying a plastic bag, though it was much smaller than Old Four's, it was still filled with plenty of food.
Zhou Andong looked at the plastic bags the two little girls were carrying, then looked at Dong Tang Wenjuan who entered last, and said helplessly, "Why did you buy them so much?"
After finishing, Zhou Andong took fifty yuan out of his pocket, "Is this fifty yuan enough?"
"These weren't bought." Dong Tang Wenjuan explained with a smile, "They were all given by colleagues in the factory office."
Zhou Andong didn't say anything, threw the money into the drawer, and then slowly stood up, "Let's go, let's go eat first, fill our stomachs, and then go to the hospital to deliver buns to Yu Miao."
The two brought Old Four and Su Su to the small canteen. Unexpectedly, Gu Bing was already there. He was eating a bun and a bite of tomato-stewed beef brisket, his mouth oily, which made people crave it just by looking.
"Why did you come so early?" Zhou Andong picked up Su Su, placed her gently on the chair, and sat down beside her, while Dong Tang Wenjuan and the curious Old Four went to the kitchen.
Gu Bing swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up, a trace of oil still hanging on the corner of his mouth, "The mental state of the injured is quite good, many with minor injuries have already been discharged. The bodies of the two victims were sent to the funeral home last night.
The memorial hall has also been set up, and the wreaths can be delivered this afternoon. The memorial service will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and the cremation will be the morning after tomorrow, followed by the funeral. As for the compensation, just execute it according to the standards we discussed yesterday. The family members have no objections and are very satisfied."
At this time, Dong Tang Wenjuan and Old Four came out of the kitchen, followed by the head chef and two female canteen staff, each carrying a plate of steaming buns.
"Factory Director, this plate is lamb buns." The head chef placed the plate on the table, smiling all over his face, pointing to the plates in the hands of the two female staff, "That one is pork, this one is beef!"
The two female staff put down the plates, and one of them said with a smile, "Factory Director, I'll go bring you the tomato-stewed beef brisket."
Zhou Andong nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work!" The two female staff replied in unison, then turned and walked away quickly.
The head chef looked at Gu Bing and asked respectfully, "Secretary, do you need anything else?"
Gu Bing waved his hand, "I'm full, I don't need anything."
Zhou Andong picked up a bun and took a bite; the oil flowed out immediately, and the rich lamb aroma reached the depths of his brain through his taste buds, and the lamb wasn't as gamey as he had imagined.
"Delicious, Old Liu, your craftsmanship is really good."
When Zhou Andong picked up the bun, the head chef's expression became a bit nervous. When Zhou Andong took a bite and gave a thumbs up in praise, the head chef's nervous mood dissipated immediately, and a smile appeared on his face once again.
"As long as it suits your taste." The head chef chuckled, "Factory Director, what would you like to eat tomorrow?"
Zhou Andong thought for a moment, "Dumplings, no need to wrap so many kinds of fillings, lamb is fine."
That girl Yu Miao had been wandering outside for a long time, not eating or dressing warmly; she should really like eating dumplings. Mainly because lamb is nourishing, replenishing blood, warming the meridians, warming and nourishing the spleen, stomach, liver, and kidneys, protecting the gastric mucosa, and enhancing immunity, which has a great nourishing effect. And Yu Miao had long-term malnutrition, so eating lamb would be of great benefit to her body.
"Alright!" The head chef agreed happily, "I'll go buy a lamb tonight, slaughter it tomorrow morning, and using fresh meat to wrap dumplings will be even more delicious."
At this time, the two female staff came out of the kitchen, one carrying tomato-stewed beef brisket and the other holding two cold dishes. One plate was mixed beef tripe, and one was soy-sauce beef.
Zhou Andong said to the head chef, "Use lunch boxes to pack a box of each of the lamb, beef, and pork buns. Also, pack a portion of the stewed beef brisket, soy-sauce beef, and mixed beef tripe in lunch boxes; I'm going to the hospital to visit the patient."
"I'll go right now!" The head chef walked away quickly to prepare the things to be packed.
Dong Tang Wenjuan ate while taking care of Su Su's meal. After Su Su was full, Dong Tang Wenjuan also put down her chopsticks. Immediately after, Old Four also hiccuped and picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth.
Zhou Andong saw that everyone had finished eating, raised his hand to check the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock, "Let's go, I guess Yu Miao is hungry too."
