Chapter 238: I, your grandma, am a proper Deputy Section level

Catering Manager……

The Anti-Corruption Bureau will find out about this.

What face will Zhou Wanting have to go back and see them?

She'd have to crawl into a crack in the ground just to walk!

"No, hurry up and get me another one!"

"I, your grandma, don't touch water with my ten fingers!"

"Do I have to cook for you even when I come to your place?"

"What nerve do you have?"

"You want me, a dignified Deputy Section-level Leader, to cook for you?"

"Why don't you just go to heaven then?"

Li Jiaci heard this and immediately waved his hand.

He said sternly: "I'm not asking you to cook for me; I'm asking you to cook for everyone in the factory, including those workers!"

"Cao, I think you're really looking to die today!"

Zhou Wanting rolled up her sleeves and stood up.

Just as she was fuming…

Li Jiaci raised his hand, looking curious, and asked: "Isn't the Anti-Corruption Bureau supposed to serve the people? Aren't I a person? Aren't these workers people? Could cooking a meal for the people possibly kill you?"

"Don't try to change the subject with me!"

"What people? You're just a damned profiteer!"

"You black‑hearted thing!"

"I spit!"

Zhou Wanting was so angry she was choking up.

Her claws almost reached Li Jiaci's face.

Seeing this, Li Jiaci sighed helplessly.

"If you don't agree, there's nothing I can do!"

"Deputy Section Chief Zhou, please go back!"

After saying that, he made a gesturing invitation.

Wang Yingna immediately opened the door.

The two worked together in perfect sync.

Zhou Wanting's anger shot straight to the top of her head.

For a moment she really wanted to burst out the door.

She'd never come back to this place again.

But that was just a thought.

You're not giving up that iron rice bowl, are you?

You're not throwing away your future career, are you?

You're not giving up the Section Chief position that's almost in your grasp, are you?

Zhou Wanting's chest heaved violently.

After a hard internal struggle, she finally gritted her teeth and said: "Fine, it's just cooking—I'll do it!"

"Eh, that's more like it!"

Li Jiaci smiled.

He then said: "Don't underestimate this cooking duty—our intelligence is passed over meals here. Controlling the catering authority is tantamount to controlling the whole Intelligence Department; it'll be a huge boon to your mission."

Zhou Wanting was so furious she didn't want to speak.

She closed her eyes, made a shushing gesture, indicating he should be quiet.

Li Jiaci was also very considerate of her feelings.

He got up and gave Wang Yingna a meaningful look.

The two left hand in hand.

Zhou Wanting sat listlessly on the sofa.

She picked up the cigarette box on the coffee table and took out a stick.

She lit it quickly and took a few puffs.

"Damn it."

"I, your grandma, am a proper Deputy Section level…"

"Cao!"

……

In the evening.

A group of people sat around the dormitory dining table.

Zhang Chuqiang kept peeking toward the outdoor boiler.

"Hey, Manager Zhou, when are we going to get dinner?"

As soon as he said that,

it drew laughter from a few people.

Zhou Wanting, wearing her cooking apron, snapped: "Are you a starving ghost reborn? Why the rush?"

"Hey? This new Catering Manager has a short fuse—you can't even say a couple of things?"

Zhang Chuqiang said with a chuckle.

Liu Jiang, sitting opposite, waved his hand and said, "That's what they call a new official's three blazing fires; we should be more understanding!"

"That means tomorrow you can't lose your temper, and your wages and all—do you still expect us to pay?"

Zhang Chuqiang's mouth is also quite sharp.

He keeps biting at them.

This makes Zhou Wanting, who was already angry, even more dissatisfied.

She slammed the spatula down and, fuming, undid her apron.

Then she just threw it on the ground.

"Damn it, I'm not doing this anymore!"

Hearing that, Zhao Chen walked over with his hands behind his back.

Assuming a leadership demeanor, he coughed twice, then said in a deep voice, "Xiao Zhou, that's your mistake. The customer is God—listen to what they say and put on your apron quickly!"

"You're still lecturing me? Do you really think you're some side dish?"

Zhou Wanting's words had just fallen.

Suddenly, a phone ringtone sounded.

She picked it up and saw the caller; her face instantly darkened.

The caller was Wu Jiangshan.

A moment later.

After Zhou Wanting finished the call, she returned to the boiler.

Without waiting for Zhao Chen to speak, she silently put on her apron.

Her subsequent actions were done in one smooth motion.

She served several plates of dark cuisine lacking color, aroma, and flavor.

Li Jiaci held his chopsticks, mulling it over for a while but didn't dare to take a bite.

"Is this braised eggplant with potatoes?"

"Good grief, someone who didn't know would think someone threw a shoe insole into the pot to boil!"

"And that dish—it looks like a pot of porridge, all wilted and limp."

"I can't eat this meal!"

"If I eat it, I'll be lying in the hospital for half a month!"

……

Listening to the complaints inside the dormitory.

Zhou Wanting's inner fire shot up.

"Eat it or don't, it's up to you!"

"If you don't want it, forget it!"

"Quickly give me a different assignment!"

"Otherwise, you'll only be able to eat these wilted, boiled shoe insoles every day!"

Li Jiaci put down his chopsticks.

He let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh..."

"Good thing I prepared in advance!"

Zhou Wanting frowned suspiciously.

Then Li Jiaci suddenly produced several packed lunch boxes from under the table.

A group of people naturally reached out, took them, opened the lids, and dug in with the rice.

Thus.

In the end, those several dark dishes still ended up in Zhou Wanting's own hands.

She scrunched her face, smelling that complex, intoxicating aroma, and for the first time regretted not having learned to cook well.

"I, a dignified Deputy Section level..."

"Cao!"

After the meal.

Zhou Wanting felt as if all her vigor had been drained.

Her expression listless, she came before Li Jiaci.

With a dazed gaze, she asked, "Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?"

Li Jiaci feigned surprise and countered, "You still want to sleep here tonight?"

"Nonsense, do you think my luggage is just for show?"

Zhou Wanting clenched her fists.

Soon she lost her strength again.

Her shoulders slumped.

Li Jiaci chuckled.

He didn't tease her any further.

"You'll share a dorm with Xiao Na tonight!"

"Move your own luggage, and discuss what you need with her!"

"Don't go bouncing around all day like a female monkey!"

"If it messes with my rest, get lost fast!"

Li Jiaci finished speaking.

He then pointed toward Wang Yingna's dormitory.

As early as the afternoon, he had already packed his things.

But at that time Zhou Wanting was still researching how to start the boiler, and she completely failed to notice his actions.

Zhou Wanting gave a dull nod.

She took her luggage and went over.

She entered the dormitory.

A wave of warm air hit her face.

Wang Yingna had just finished washing up and was sitting on the bed applying face cream.

Seeing her enter, she said in an annoyed tone: "It's all your fault, you stole Jiaci-ge's spot!"

"Do you think I'm happy to sleep together with you?"

"Let's just bear with each other!"

"After my mission ends, I won't come even if you beg me!"

Zhou Wanting rolled her eyes.

She opened her luggage, found a pajama, and changed into it right in front of her.

Wang Yingna stared, dumbfounded.

Her mouth hung open for a while.

Now she was glad Li Jiaci had been squeezed out; otherwise…

She didn't even dare to think about it further!
