Chapter 223: Two Choices

Xu Damao looked at Yu Haitang and said:

"Find a job for Bang Geng."

Yu Haitang laughed, "What does that have to do with me?"

Xu Damao: "Yes, it has nothing to do with you."

"But I want you to hear my idea, see if what I'm doing is right?"

Yu Haitang: "Go on, I'm listening, I'm all ears, ah."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said:

"Last time I told you, Bang Geng still hasn't found a job."

"So I want to find him a job, give him some favor, make him think well of me."

"My purpose in doing this is to get him on the same front as me, to clean up Shazhu together."

"The enemy of my enemy is a friend, right?"

"Bang Geng really treats Shazhu as an enemy."

Hearing that, Yu Haitang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Damao, with a gloomy face, asked:

"What are you laughing at?"

Yu Haitang: "Xu Damao, I realized, sigh, never mind, I won't say it."

Xu Damao: "Speak up, why not say it?"

"Say whatever you want to say, okay?"

Yu Haitang: "I just think, after all, Bang Geng is Qin Huairu's son."

"People say Qin Huairu is against Shazhu."

"I'm worried you'll lift a stone and smash your own foot."

"What if Bang Geng later gets on good terms with Shazhu?"

"Then you wouldn't lose, right?"

"After all, you have nothing to do with Bang Geng."

Xu Damao thought for a moment and said, "That's just the logic."

"But finding Bang Geng a job is, to me, as simple as drinking water."

"I have no loss at all."

"Besides, if Bang Geng doesn't listen to me, I can make him scram at any time."

Yu Haitang: "Oh, since you're so confident, go ahead, I support you."

Xu Damao cheerfully said, "Since you support me so much, let's quickly get the marriage certificate and partner up for life."

Yu Haitang: "Xu Damao, give me a little more time."

"Let me think it over properly, okay?"

"My first marriage was a wrong choice; the second time I must be more careful."

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao was quite displeased.

However, he still wore a smiling face and said:

"That's normal, I understand."

"No problem, I'll wait for you."

"Think it over carefully, ah, I believe you'll choose me."

In fact, Xu Damao is also looking for other women now.

"If there's someone more suitable and better than Yu Haitang, Xu Damao won't even consider Yu Haitang."

And Yu Haitang is now still evaluating Shazhu.

Yu Haitang wants to choose between Shazhu and Xu Damao, a two‑choice.

On the other side.

Shazhu leisurely sat in the back kitchen, sipping from an enamel water jar while watching the cafeteria workers work.

Suddenly.

Qin Huairu hurried in, patting Shazhu's hand.

That gave Shazhu quite a start.

He glanced aside and saw Qin Huairu's face breaking into a smile.

He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.

He realized that lately, the more he looks at Qin Huairu, the more displeased he feels.

In the past, whenever he saw her, Shazhu would get extremely excited.

What's different now?

Could it be because there are now two targets?

Thinking that, he let out a long sigh.

Qin Huairu asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Are you not happy that I'm here?"

Shazhu hurriedly said:

"Oh, nothing. By the way, why did you come in?"

Qin Huairu laughed, "I came through the back door."

Shazhu asked: "What's making you so happy?"

Qin Huairu: "Still asking?"

Why am I so happy, you still don't know?

Shazhu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I can't figure you out anymore."

Qin Huairu: "What do you mean?"

Could it be that there's another woman?

Do you seem impatient with me?

Shazhu: "No, don't think wildly."

Come on, what's making you so happy?

Qin Huairu: "I saw Bang Geng greeting you."

Actually, Qin Huairu wasn't happy at all.

The smile on her face was all a disguise.

She came this time just to probe Shazhu's background.

Upon hearing her words, Shazhu said with a proud expression:

"At least this kid still has a bit of conscience!"

After saying that, he suddenly glared at Ma Hua and shouted:

"Ma Hua, the buns are in the pot, don't fish them out."

"Just take them out directly."

"How many times have I told you?"

"Why can't you remember?"

Ma Hua shouted:

"Alright, let the Working Class brothers and sisters see our steaming hot buns."

It was then that Qin Huairu saw a big basket of buns, steaming hot.

Her eyes instantly lit up.

While running over, she said:

"Don't, don't, don't lift, don't lift."

"Give me two first, give me two."

Liu Lan: "I'll get them for you."

After saying that, she picked up a white flour bun with one hand and handed it to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu quickly took out a lunch box from her bag, put the two white flour buns inside, and then said:

"Thank you!"

Liu Lan laughed: "Look at what you're saying, who are you?"

"You're the wife of Shazhu's master."

Qin Huairu glanced back at Shazhu, then looked at Liu Lan and whispered:

"Don't talk nonsense, we haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet."

Liu Lan: "What nonsense did I say?"

"Getting the certificate is just a matter of time, right?"

"I'm right, aren't I?"

Qin Huairu smiled but said nothing.

Just then, Shazhu walked over and shouted at the workers:

"Don't keep lifting the dishes!"

"Why are you just standing there?"

"Over there they've lined up like a long dragon."

"Hurry up, hurry up, move faster."

After saying that, he was about to leave.

Qin Huairu quickly grabbed him and said:

"Don't go, I haven't finished speaking."

Shazhu: "Wait a moment, I'll personally take charge of the cooking."

Qin Huairu glanced at Shazhu's back, then walked over to Liu Lan's side.

Liu Lan whispered:

"Hey, Shazhu has become the head of our cafeteria, you know?"

Qin Huairu happily asked in return:

"When did that happen?"

Liu Lan: "The day before yesterday, after that bastard was transferred away."

Qin Huairu frowned and asked:

"Bastard? Who is that?"

Liu Lan said angrily:

"It's Director Li."

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and asked:

"Hey, I heard he's ignoring you?"

Liu Lan: "It's me not caring about him, alright?"

"We broke up two years ago."

"That's something from ages ago."

"Hey, I just want to remind you."

"Shazhu has been personally doing the cooking these past two days."

"It's just this hand—whenever he sees something pretty, he holds it steady."

"If he sees something that treated him badly in the past, something displeasing, that hand will shake."

"Hey, don't underestimate that little shake—it makes the food far worse than before."

Qin Huairu couldn't help laughing when she heard that.

Liu Lan: "You're still laughing? You say you're still laughing?"

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Get your marriage license with Shazhu sooner, okay."

"Right, how about the recently divorced Yu Haitang—you know her?"
