Chapter 160

He gave Shazhu a look, and Factory Director Yang Changzhang asked irritably:

"You still don't realize you're wrong, do you?"

Shazhu: "I know I was wrong."

Factory Director Yang Changzhang: "Then hurry up and go down."

Shazhu: "Factory Director, could you please not punish me?"

Factory Director Yang Changzhang: "Punishment is necessary. Wait a moment; I'll go back and think carefully about what punishment to give you."

"You can go down now."

"Pack your things, go back, walk back."

Shazhu nodded with a sullen face and walked out of the cafeteria.

He was indeed quite sullen.

He works hard cooking for others, yet still has to bear the punishment.

Moreover, it was originally agreed that someone would drive him back, but Factory Director Yang Changzhang made him walk back alone.

Besides, he had originally brought two boxes of leftover food.

It was just that while cooking, he put in a bit too much ingredients, and the excess was packed into the lunch box.

Who would have thought, as he was about to leave holding the lunch box, Factory Director Yang Changzhang got up.

After glancing at his lunch box, Factory Director Yang Changzhang on the spot said he would increase his punishment.

He was terrified, quickly dumped the food from the lunch box back into the pot, and slunk away.

On the way, he thought it over and over, then went to a big restaurant and packed two dishes.

Because he didn't want to disappoint Qin Huairu.

Returning to the Siheyuan, seeing Qin Huairu standing at the gate, his mood instantly improved.

He trotted over, grinning foolishly, and said:

"Hey, how long have you been waiting? You really are waiting, huh."

Qin Huairu smiled and reached out her hand toward the lunch box in his hand.

Shazhu laughed: "Sure, buddies split it in half when we meet."

"This will do, this one."

Qin Huairu snatched the two lunch boxes over and asked:

"What if I want to take them all?"

Shazhu had originally intended to give both lunch boxes to Qin Huairu.

He simply didn't want to disappoint Qin Huairu.

But he had a condition.

Only saw him put on a stern face and say:

"Then it depends on whether you can clear up the whole misunderstanding between me and Teacher Ran."

Qin Huairu laughed: "Shazhu, what should I say about you?"

"Fickle as the morning and evening, one moment you're thinking of my cousin, the next you're thinking of Teacher Ran."

"I see you, you're destined to be a bachelor for life."

"Besides, the doctors have said that thing of yours might very well be nonfunctional."

"If I clear up your misunderstanding with Teacher Ran, and if she ends up with you, I'd become the sinner."

Shazhu said with a sullen face:

"No, then, you introducing your cousin to me isn't sincere, is it?"

Qin Huairu: "What do you say?"

Shazhu: "I've told you already, whether it works or not, you have to try it to know, right?"

Qin Huairu gave Shazhu a contemptuous look and said nothing.

She really does look down on Shazhu now.

She certainly couldn't agree to Shazhu's request.

Anyway, she already has Shazhu wrapped around her finger.

Even if she refuses, Shazhu will still often help her out.

Moreover.

Earlier she had already given Shazhu a candy.

Shazhu let out a soft sigh and said:

"Qin Huairu, actually, you, tell me honestly, do you think your handling of the cousin matter is good?"

"Leaving without saying goodbye, what kind of person is that?"

"A person lives on a single breath; a Buddha burns a stick of incense."

"If you don't treat me as a person, then I can't treat you as a person, right?"

Qin Huairu asked:

"And what about Teacher Ran?"

"Do you think she treats you as a person?"

Shazhu: "Of course."

"This situation is completely different, okay?"

"The misunderstanding between me and her."

"It was caused by Third Elder; he's been messing with me."

Of course, I stole a cartload of wheels from him.

But I have a reason.

I'm not a thief, right?

That's called a retaliatory measure, you understand?

Qin Huairu cut in, "Fine, you still have the nerve to say that."

If you want to take revenge on him, do it openly and squarely; does being a thief make you glorious?

Don't say you're not a thief; you stole something, so you're a thief.

After saying that, Qin Huairu glared at Shazhu, grabbed two lunch boxes, and turned to walk into the Siheyuan.

Shazhu followed, saying:

"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished yet."

The next day.

Shazhu sat alone in the house, sulking.

Today Ya gang chang broadcasted his punishment.

He was retained for observation for two years.

No salary for two years, only a small amount of living allowance.

During the observation period, any mistake, even a minor one, leads to immediate dismissal.

After two years, if no mistakes are made, he will be kept on.

But.

The salary will be calculated from the first year as an apprentice.

He feels extremely wronged.

Even more wronged than Dou E.

Isn't it just that he doesn't like Lin Shengli?

Why treat him like this?

He spent the whole day pondering this, and no matter how he thought, he couldn't understand.

"Lin Shengli, wait for me; I have to beat you with a club, otherwise I can't release this feeling."

Meanwhile.

Yang Changzhang and Lin Shengli were eating at a restaurant.

"Factory Director Lin, today I took revenge for you."

Hearing this,

Lin Shengli smiled and asked:

"What's going on?"

Yang Changzhang: "Yesterday at the Great Leader's house, I already saw Shazhu disrespect you."

"So I gave him the retention for observation punishment."

Lin Shengli: "Then I thank you, Yang Changzhang."

Yang Changzhang: "Shazhu, sigh, I will eventually dismiss him."

"You, such a talent, being so good to people, yet he still holds a grudge against you."

"That must be your problem."

"I'm not flattering you."

"In fact, I also investigated; the entire back kitchen, except Shazhu's disciple Ma Hua, all have complaints about Shazhu."

"That also let me know why he targeted you."

"Actually, I know your character well."

"How about I dismiss him tomorrow?"

"I only conducted this investigation after today's punishment of Shazhu."

"Otherwise I could have dismissed him today."

"I didn't expect his reputation in the back kitchen to be so bad."

Lin Shengli: "Yang Changzhang, this is a matter of your factory."

"Now I'm basically an outsider, right?"

"So, how to handle it, you decide."

Yang Changzhang nodded in understanding and said:

"Alright, I know what to do."

Three days later.

Shazhu walked into the Siheyuan with a light, brisk step.

Someone invited him to cook today.

He instantly brought back leftovers in four lunch boxes.

He was daydreaming about the beautiful scene when he would see Qin Huairu later.

He had to touch it with his hand, and also…

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but break into an excited smile.

Entering the Zhongyuan, Shazhu began to hum a little tune.

He was deliberately sending a message to Qin Huairu.

When Qin Huairu heard his voice, she hurried to the base of the window to look out.

When Qin Huairu saw Shazhu carrying a net bag with four lunch boxes walking toward their own house, Qin Huairu hurried over, opened the door, and shouted:

"Hehe, you came over."

Shazhu gave her a haughty glance, said nothing, and instead opened their own door and walked in.
