Chapter 7

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye held the money, looked at Sha Zhu kneeling on the ground, and nodded with satisfaction: "Mm, this young man is teachable."

"Get up, Sha Zhu."

"From now on, everyone just needs to work hard."

"I am an easygoing person, as everyone knows."

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye took the opportunity to deliver a lecture.

He gave the impression of being warmed by a spring breeze, gentle and refined.

But the knives hidden within his words were not concealed in the slightest.

The Canteen Director left the canteen with satisfaction.

The news that Sha Zhu had lost a bet and knelt to kowtow and acknowledge someone as his father instantly spread throughout the entire Rolling Steel Factory.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to learn this news and nearly went mad with anger!

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye actually forced Sha Zhu to kneel and call him father?

Did he think that just because he became a canteen squad leader, he could act recklessly?!

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu was also stunned.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had been promoted in rank, which already allowed him to earn a higher wage.

But now, the factory had actually made Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye a squad leader!

This was not simply a matter of a pay raise; this was a promotion.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu had dreamed day and night of becoming a team leader to boost his prestige, but he could not achieve it.

Detestable!

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu hated Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye to the extreme!

Wang Wang Wang Dahua was working when she heard the factory broadcast announce this news, and the tool in her hand dropped straight to the ground.

By sheer coincidence, it smashed onto her foot, hurting her so much that tears flowed down.

How could this be?

That pushover Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, he is now a squad leader?

Then if he works a bit harder, could he become the Canteen Director?

Impossible!

The more Wang Wang Wang Dahua thought about it, the more upset she felt.

She should never have divorced!

After getting off work, she would return to the Sihe Academy and find Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!

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

006, The Spring of a Divorced Man, The Shameless Treats Guests (Sixth Update)

The Rolling Steel Factory finally finished work for the day.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye walked through the crowd, receiving great respect from everyone.

Having experienced today's chef rank assessment, everyone who saw him wore a pleasant expression and greeted him proactively.

"Hello, Squad Leader Lu."

"Squad Leader Lu, what shall we eat tonight? Shall we go to the State-Run Grand Restaurant to celebrate?"

"Squad Leader Lu, I have a younger female cousin from my maiden family; she is beautiful and capable! Shall I introduce her to you when you have Third Third Third Third Time?"

Good heavens.

There were even people rushing forward to introduce potential spouses.

In this era, life was difficult for divorced women.

Their reputations were tarnished, and remarrying a good man was nearly impossible.

Life was not much better for divorced men either.

Especially for someone like Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, a cook whose family assets had been emptied by his wife.

Speaking of him, he was the very spokesperson for a good-for-nothing!

But now, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had become the canteen squad leader of the Rolling Steel Factory in one move, which changed everything.

Those with sharp minds felt that...

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had politely refused them.

He was currently quite enjoying his single life and saw no need to find a woman who would slow down his sword-drawing speed.

With the five yuan Sha Zhu gave him still in his pocket, he pretended to borrow another ten yuan.

He first wandered around the Pigeon Market.

Then, quite a few daily necessities appeared in his hands.

A set of bedding, a washbasin, a towel, soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush...

Except for the large rooster, which he bought for two yuan, everything else he had taken from his personal static mall.

He walked all the way back to the large courtyard like this.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Third Master Yan Buguai of the front courtyard.

By now, the news of Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's promotion and pay raise had spread throughout the entire courtyard.

Third Master Yan Buguai was an elementary school math teacher, and he was the best at calculating every trivial penny.

For a mouthful of meat or a steamed bun, he would not even care about saving face.

He had long since calculated everything clearly.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's household had already been stripped bare by Wang Wang Wang Dahua; now, inside the room, one could truly say they had nothing but bare walls.

With today's promotion and raise, that kid would definitely go out to buy things.

As a Grade-Seven Chef, Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye would certainly cook something himself to eat.

In this era, no household had much surplus.

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui had already calculated it all: if he could scrounge a meal from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, wouldn't that save his own family one meal?

Since Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye lived alone, any leftovers brought back to his own home would mean saving two meals, wouldn't it?

That abacus of his was clicking especially loud!

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had just entered the gate when Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui spotted him.

Seeing Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye carrying so many items, Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui's eyes immediately lit up!

He immediately blocked Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's path, saying, "Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, I heard you passed the chef's assessment?"

"You've even become the canteen squad leader; truly, congratulations are in order!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye: ...

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui was a classic case of a weasel paying respects to a chicken—with ill intent!

With such petty schemes, he actually thinks he can trick me?

I'd like to see just how thick your skin can get!

Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui hurriedly said, "This is top-tier news for our courtyard; naturally, this matter must be celebrated!"

"Since you've already bought this big rooster, let's have a stew of big rooster with mushrooms!"

"As long as there are plenty of steamed buns made from white flour, and a pot of chicken soup too."

"You kid are a Grade-Seven Chef now; you can't keep hiding your skills anymore."

"Let everyone get a look at your prowess!"

Only by getting to eat food cooked by Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's own hands could he justify calling his three sons over to carry all the good stuff back to their home!

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye was truly seeing something for the first Third Third Third Third Time.

For someone to be this shameless was something only Yan Yan Yan Yan Bugui could pull off!

"Celebrate... celebrate what?"

"Celebrate my happy divorce?"

"Or celebrate Sha Zhu kowtowing and calling me father?"

"I've been through quite a lot recently; tell me, which of these events should I be celebrating?"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye retorted without holding back.

Huh?!
