Chapter 18

"Jia Dongxu is in trouble, Ma Hua; doesn't your master have a chance now?"

"If your master is happy, will he still be in the mood to scold you? Hurry up and work, don't look for trouble."

Just as the three of them had their own thoughts, Sha Zhu's heart was quite complicated.

He was happy that Jia Dongxu had met with such a change, and his own years of effort were finally about to see spring.

He was also heartbroken for Qin Huairu's current situation, and those three children.

And he was afraid of Jia Zhang Shi's attitude if he were to have contact with Qin Huairu in the future.

When Jia Dongxu was around, he wouldn't say anything.

But once Qin Huairu became a widow...

They say there's a lot of gossip in front of a widow's door.

Could Jia Zhang Shi still be like before?

Obviously not.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai came to talk to Sha Zhu.

The two of them went to a secluded corner.

"Sha Zhu, I just want to ask, what are your thoughts on Jia Dongxu being fired?"

Yi Zhonghai wanted Sha Zhu to suggest himself that Qin Huairu should take over Jia Dongxu's job.

That way, Sha Zhu would owe him another big favor.

In the future, Sha Zhu would be even more devoted to him, and the matter of his old-age care would be even more reliable.

Sha Zhu looked unhappy; thinking of the news he had just heard, Lu Jianye had received an order from Factory Director Yang to go cook for the big leader.

He couldn't help but curse: "Lu Jianye is just a stinking dead end, and now he's even turned the sky upside down, getting such an important, lucrative job from the factory."

"Cooking for the leader is my job."

"Isn't Lu Jianye clearly trying to steal my rice bowl?"

"No, I have to find him!"

"If this matter isn't settled clearly, I won't be done with him."

"We'll settle old and new scores together."

After speaking, he turned around to go settle scores with Lu Jianye.

Yi Zhonghai was left confused; he knew about the old scores, after all, Sha Zhu and Lu Jianye had many incidents in the courtyard.

He hurriedly grabbed Sha Zhu and asked: "When did you and Lu Jianye have friction again?"

Sha Zhu said: "Isn't it because of him, acting all high and mighty as a monitor!"

"Jia Dongxu couldn't stand it, so he thought about improving himself, and that's how this happened."

"If Jia Dongxu hadn't had an accident, could Sister Qin be so sad now? Could the three children be hungry?"

"Today, no one stop me; whoever stops me, I'll get angry with them!"

Seeing that Sha Zhu was about to go settle scores with Lu Jianye, Yi Zhonghai naturally had to stop him.

There was no one here, so Yi Zhonghai didn't have to pretend.

He raised his hand and slapped Sha Zhu across the face.

"Sha Zhu, have you forgotten what I said!"

"Qin Huairu isn't a widow yet; do you not want your reputation?"

"You also know that Lu Jianye is a monitor now; if you hit him, do you not want your job?"

"If you lose this rice bowl, will you be drinking the northwest wind in the future?"

"Jia Dongxu is finished now; are you going to be finished too?"

With Yi Zhonghai's slap and these words, Sha Zhu finally woke up.

That's right.

If he were fired too, who would Sister Qin rely on in the future?

He knew he was wrong, apologized to Yi Zhonghai, and said: "Jia Dongxu was fired; why don't we let Sister Qin take over his job?"

"First Uncle, you have to help Sister Qin; it's not easy for a woman to support a whole family."

Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief; Sha Zhu was indeed on the right track.

"Let's talk about this when we go back tonight."

Big bosses, please give flowers, votes, and everything~.

Lu Jianye had finished his work, so he called out to Ma Hua: "Xiao Ma, I'll leave this to you."

It was just watching the heat, serving the dishes later, and cleaning the kitchen.

Ma Hua was incredibly nervous: "Monitor Lu, I might not be able to do it, right?"

"I... I haven't finished my apprenticeship yet."

He had been following Sha Zhu for several years, but he had never learned anything.

He was scolded all day long, and he didn't even know where his problem lay.

Maybe, as Sha Zhu said, he was just slow-witted.

Lu Jianye glanced at Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "Ma Hua, aren't you losing face for your master with those words?"

"You've followed him for so many years; even if you haven't learned the cooking, you can at least watch the fire, right?"

"If you can't do it, then it's your master who can't do it."

"Anyway, I'm leaving this to you; you guys figure it out."

After he finished speaking.

Lu Jianye packed his things and followed Factory Director Yang's secretary away.

Sha Zhu's face was incredibly ugly, and he vented all his anger on Ma Hua.

"Ma Hua, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you blaming me for not teaching you real skills!"

Ma Hua felt wronged: "Master, that's not what I meant; I really can't do it."

Whether you taught me real skills or not, don't you know it yourself?

But he didn't dare to say these words.

He still obediently went to watch the fire.

Sha Zhu was worried that Ma Hua would lose face for him, so he pushed Ma Hua aside and watched it himself.

His hatred for Lu Jianye grew another layer.

"Lu Jianye, don't be too arrogant!"

"Even if the factory director lets you cook, if you make a mistake, you'll lose your rice bowl!"

Sha Zhu muttered to himself.

At the same time, he was convinced that Lu Jianye would definitely be finished!

A little cook who had never seen the world; when he saw the leader, he probably wouldn't even dare to speak.

And cook?

Either he'd burn it, or he'd burn the pot!

Then he'd be fired!

The more Sha Zhu thought about it, the better he felt.

At this time.

Lu Jianye followed the factory director's secretary to the small canteen, which was specifically for receiving guests.

In the past, it was always Sha Zhu who came.

Every time he cooked for the leaders, he could get quite a few benefits.

For example, leftover food, or small favors when the leader was happy.

But Lu Jianye had just been promoted to a seventh-level chef, and Sha Zhu had lost this opportunity.

Having read the original story, Lu Jianye remembered that Sha Zhu had met the big leader by cooking.

It was that big leader who spoke up for Lou Xiaoe's parents, allowing the Lou family to leave Si Jiucheng.

Now...

Sha Zhu would never have this opportunity again.
