Chapter 295: Are you worthy of Teacher Ran?

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Xiao Dang hurriedly said:

"Yes, I will obey."

"My Sha Shu is obviously the greatest now."

Shazhu said with a satisfied expression: "Eh, that's right, you guys, just wait to enjoy your blessings; Xu Damao really can't even flatter his way to catch up with me."

Qin Huairu happily said: "Yes, yes, yes, you're the best."

"What's Xu Damao anyway?"

At that moment, Xiao Dang held a cup of water and respectfully handed it to Shazhu, saying:

"Sha Shu, now that the restaurant is open, give me a manager position, okay?"

Shazhu took it and said: "Well, it's invested by the Great Leader's children."

"I need to ask for their opinion."

Xiao Dang pouted, unhappy, and said: "You said they don't care about anything, didn't you?"

Shazhu: "Yes, yes, yes, they don't care, but we still need to ask, right?"

Qin Huairu: "Xiao Dang, stop messing around, listen to your Sha Shu, okay?"

Xiao Dang snorted and said nothing.

Shazhu took a sip of water, set it down, and said:

"I'm tired, I'll go rest first."

After saying that, he left as if fleeing.

He didn't dare face Xiao Dang.

Teacher Ran had already said he would bring over professional management talent from Gangdao to manage the restaurant.

He certainly didn't dare to arbitrarily arrange for Xiao Dang to be manager.

He was only responsible for the whole back kitchen.

As for other matters, he had no authority to interfere.

One month later.

Teacher Ran's restaurant opened.

After a few days of business, it was booming.

This made Shazhu very proud.

One day.

Shazhu was stir-frying in the back kitchen when Pangzi walked over.

With a beaming smile, he clasped his hands and bowed to Shazhu, nodding and scraping:

"Master, master, master......"

Shazhu frowned and asked:

"Who are you calling? Grandson."

Pangzi bowed to Shazhu and said with a smile:

"Master, I was wrong, okay?"

"You're still my master, ah."

Shazhu let out a cold snort, shook his head, and said:

"I am not your master."

Pangzi: "Master, you're magnanimous and don't hold grudges against petty people, ah."

"Your belly can hold a boat like a chancellor's, ah."

"Master, please spare me this time, okay?"

"From now on, I will always be yours."

"If I ever have divided loyalties again, I, I swear I won't be human."

Shazhu sneered: "You were never human to begin with."

Saying this, he pointed the long-handled spoon at Pangzi and continued:

"Someone like you, I don't even want to bother with."

"Ma Hua, handle it according to the rules."

Ma Hua laughed: "Got it."

Then.

He scooped half a spoonful of water with the long-handled spoon and came to Pangzi's side, saying:

"In the Great Qing Dynasty, you're nothing but a eunuch!"

After saying that, he poured the water from the long-handled spoon over Pangzi's head.

Pangzi dared to be angry but not to speak.

Next, another back-kitchen staff member shoved a bowl of flour onto Pangzi's head.

Just then, Liu Lan walked in.

Seeing this scene, she also couldn't help but freeze.

However, she quickly went to Pangzi's side, grabbed his ear, and asked:

"Pangzi, you still know me, right?"

Pangzi grimaced and shouted in pain.

Liu Lan: "If it hurts, that's right; do you still know me? Take a good look."

Pangzi: "No, no, no, it hurts, Liu Sis, let, let go of me."

Liu Lan: "You're really no different from Xu Damao."

"Just that kind of demeanor."

"If you dare come again, I'll geld you with a kitchen knife—believe it or not?"

Pangzi got angry, shoved Liu Lan aside, and shouted:

"You Liu, what kind of scallion are you? Huh?"

"You think you're a vegetable—who's going to stew you?"

"Still feeling feisty?"

"My affairs, none of your business."

Liu Lan frowned, "Feeling feisty? Huh?"

"Still feeling feisty?"

She said, grabbing the kitchen knife from the nearby chopping board.

Pangzi, seeing that, hurriedly ran out.

Liu Lan pointed the kitchen knife at him and shouted:

"Good thing you ran fast, otherwise I would have really gelded you."

"If you've got the guts, don't run."

After Pangzi ran off, Liu Lan came up to Shazhu and said with a smile:

"Shazhu, long time no see."

Shazhu glanced at Liu Lan and said:

"Hey, don't look at me and laugh—I'm embarrassed."

Liu Lan clicked her tongue and said:

"You see, isn't what I said right?"

"People like him and Xu Damao really aren't different."

"With people like that, you can't be soft-hearted."

"Can't pity them."

Shazhu glanced at Liu Lan, shook his head, and said:

"No."

Hearing that, Liu Lan's smile faded.

Then.

She leaned close to Shazhu and whispered:

"Can't you not speak so absolutely?"

"I'm not the same kind of person as that Pangzi."

"Besides, I and that Li Wang Badan broke up ages ago."

"Back then, weren't you quite tolerant of me?"

"And you even got me reinstated at our factory cafeteria."

"Or do you still hold a grudge?"

Shazhu shook his head and said: "No."

Liu Lan was very displeased.

But she still forced a smile and said:

"Look, all your disciples have come running here to you."

"Our factory cafeteria is undergoing a complete overhaul now."

"The old crew is down to just me, and there's no market for it anymore."

Shazhu looked at Liu Lan, shook his head, and said:

"Even if you spout nonsense, it won't work."

Liu Lan: "I didn't come to beg you."

"I came to apply for a job."

"You know my abilities well enough."

"The front desk–kitchen liaison—without me, don't you feel something's missing?"

Shazhu shook his head and said: "Don't feel it."

Liu Lan: "No, I'm really angry."

Shazhu: "Go ahead and be angry."

Liu Lan thought and asked: "Your boss is Ran Qiuyue, Teacher Ran, right?"

"You two even went on a blind date before, right?"

Shazhu frowned, looked at Liu Lan, and asked:

"You know her too?"

Liu Lan: "Of course I know her—there's nothing I don't know."

"I also know you two almost got together back then, but Qin Huairu ruined it."

"That Qin Huairu really is something."

"After all these years, still thinking she liked you, wanted to marry you, and thus sabotaged your blind date."

"Who knows, she still hasn't married you."

Shazhu: "Cut the crap, my affairs, none of your business."

Liu Lan: "But I'm telling you, whatever Qin Huairu can destroy, I can destroy too."

Hearing this, Shazhu's brows furrowed even tighter.

Liu Lan chuckled, then said: "I know you want to be with Ran Qiuyue."

"If you take me in, I won't just refrain from destroying things; I'll also match you two at the right time and speak well of you."

"Otherwise, actually my destructive ability is no worse than Qin Huairu's."

"I guarantee, this time you'll have me."

Shazhu glanced at Liu Lan, then said nothing.

Liu Lan: "Then I'm leaving."

Saying that, she walked toward the outside.

After walking a few steps, seeing that Shazhu didn't call out to stop her, she halted, looked at Shazhu, and said:

"I'm really leaving."

Having said that, she stepped toward the door.

As she walked, she silently thought to herself:

"Shazhu, don't regret it; with you like this, still thinking of Ran Qiuyue, do you deserve her?"
