Chapter 4

"Ten years older than me and still without a wife; you have the nerve to criticize me?"

Sha Zhu was eating a steamed corn bun!

He was instantly furious, pointing a finger at Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye yet unable to utter a single word.

It was only when he dropped his rice bowl on the ground and clutched his throat with both hands that everyone realized Sha Zhu was choking.

He had nearly choked to death!

Sha Zhu's two apprentices, Ma Hua and Little Fatty, hurriedly poured water for him and patted his back; it took quite a while before Sha Zhu finally recovered.

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!"

"You little bastard, you actually dare to insult me!"

"You kid deserve a beating!"

Sha Zhu was about to erupt in curses.

Today, he would definitely teach this infertile man a good lesson.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye gave him no chance, turning to leave instead: "Sha Zhu, why are you so angry?"

"I know you have your eyes on Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu and are eagerly hoping Jia Jia Jia Dongxu dies so you can marry her."

"Everyone knows this secret."

"It's about Third Third Third Third Time; I won't waste words with you."

"The Director has already spoken: those participating in the chef rank assessment are temporarily exempt from work."

"Let someone else handle these tasks."

Watching Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye walk away.

Sha Zhu suddenly stood up: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you're talking nonsense!"

"With your skills, you think you can take the chef assessment?"

"If I don't make you roll out of the Rolling Steel Mill today, I..."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye walked back and asked: "If I pass, what will you do?"

Sha Zhu boasted: "I'll kneel, kowtow, and call you Father!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye wore a look of disgust: "I certainly don't want such an old son."

"However, if you insist on kneeling, kowtowing, and calling me Father, that will cost an extra five yuan."

"If I don't pass, then do whatever you like."

Only then did Sha Zhu become triumphant: "Good!"

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, you kid are getting too arrogant!"

"Let everyone here bear witness!"

"Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye said it himself: if he doesn't pass, he'll roll out of the Rolling Steel Mill!"

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

004. Shocking the Rolling Steel Mill! An Apprentice Leaps to Become a Level-Seven Chef! (Fourth Update)

The news of Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's bet with Sha Zhu quickly spread through more than half of the Rolling Steel Mill.

When Wang Wang Wang Dahua heard this news, she nearly laughed until she choked: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye must be insane!"

"With his level of skill, he's only fit for tending fires in the countryside."

"He actually dares to bet with Sha Zhu; he might as well wait to be kicked out of the Rolling Steel Mill."

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu was equally triumphant: "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye has truly been provoked; this Third Third Third Third Time he will definitely be fired!"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the two of them and pretended to say solemnly: "Focus on your work; don't let your minds wander."

"Perhaps Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye has been hiding his talents all along and just lacked an opportunity to show them."

"You must not underestimate people."

This hypocritical old fool spoke these words, and instantly everyone regarded him with deep respect.

"That's right; we shouldn't look down on insignificant people."

"Wang Wang Wang Dahua, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu, you two must learn well from Master Yi!"

"As members of the Rolling Steel Mill, we must all have ambition!"

Wang Wang Wang Dahua and Jia Jia Jia Dongxu began to flatter Yi Zhonghai.

On the surface, Yi Zhonghai remained calm, but inside he was ecstatic.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was merely a soft persimmon, possessing no real skills yet overflowing with sympathy.

The chef rank assessment was something Yi Zhonghai had "specially" secured for him.

Why?

It was solely so that after his divorce, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye would be unable to survive in the Rolling Steel Mill and would be forced to leave quickly.

In this way.

In the future, when Wang Wang Wang Dahua and Sha Zhu married, no one would gossip.

He was quite satisfied with these two apprentices before him.

Although they lacked brains, they could serve as foils for him.

Today was truly a good day; everything was proceeding so smoothly.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had already followed several chefs to the designated location to participate in the chef rank assessment.

In this era, rank assessments were the most fashionable trend.

Want a promotion?

Want a raise?

If you don't meet the assessment standards, there's not even a chance in hell.

This is the only path for ordinary people to turn their fortunes around.

In the original plot.

If Sha Zhu hadn't had his mind entirely fixed on Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu, he wouldn't have remained nothing more than a mere Grade Eight chef all this Third Third Third Third Time.

Women.

They truly affect how fast certain men can draw their swords.

But this isn't really Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu's fault; she's just a girl casting a wide net to catch more fish.

Yet Sha Zhu is nothing but a fool with the heart of a thief but not the guts.

Every Third Third Third Third Time he borrowed money or grain, he thought he was doing good deeds, helping others, and standing on the moral high ground.

But in reality?

Wasn't he just lusting after her body without having the guts to act on it!

Sha Zhu also came to take the assessment.

Moreover, he positioned himself not far from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, specifically to make fun of him.

In Sha Zhu's eyes, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's skill was inferior even to Ma Hua and Little Fatty.

His ability to cook was only good for minor trifles.

Want to pass the assessment?

That's nothing but a dream!

He, a Grade Eight chef, had already participated in several assessments without ever breaking through.

Who does Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye think he is!

He might as well wait to be fired.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye didn't give Sha Zhu a second thought.

A mere chef's assessment was not even a small dish to him.

Very soon.

The exam began.

Like the others, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye also started cooking.

His techniques were extremely skilled, looking nothing like those of a novice.

He completed one assessment after another with incredible speed and superb quality!

After all assessments were finished, the chief examiner announced the results.
