Chapter 391: What? The Great Leader has a lot of opinions about us?

~7 min read 1,219 words

Shazhu left Yi Zhonghai's house and went straight to the Great Leader's house.

The Great Leader's relationship with him wasn't particularly good either.

Possibly because of Lin Shengli, the Great Leader had already formed an impression of Shazhu's character.

So, usually letting Shazhu come cook, there was no other interaction with him.

They rarely chatted.

While the Great Leader and his wife were chatting, Shazhu barged in.

The Great Leader's wife frowned and asked, "How did you come here?"

Shazhu grinned and said, "I heard the Great Leader was ill, I was worried. I just returned to the compound, and as soon as I heard this, I rushed over."

The Great Leader's wife: "You should have had Secretary Chen report first."

Shazhu: "Sorry, sorry, ma'am. When I came in, I didn't see anyone, so I just walked in directly. I was really rude."

The Great Leader's wife: "That's right, be more careful next time."

Shazhu felt a bit displeased, but still put on a smiling face, nodded, and said:

"Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention next time, definitely pay attention, ah."

"Great Leader, how are you feeling now?"

Great Leader: "I'm fine."

Shazhu: "Qin Huairu didn't tell me either; otherwise, even if I were busy, I would have come over to cook for you."

Hearing this, the Great Leader and his wife exchanged a glance.

That makes sense.

Their guess was correct.

Earlier they had thought Qin Huairu might not tell Shazhu and decide on her own to come, aiming to curry favor with them.

Now their impression of Qin Huairu is even worse.

Seeing they didn't speak, Shazhu asked:

"Um, how is Qin Huairu's cooking?"

Great Leader: "It's okay."

Great Leader's wife: "What do you mean 'okay'? He Shifu is here, don't say polite things."

"He Shifu, her cooking is far worse than yours."

Shazhu: "Yes, yes, she only learned the basics."

"To be honest, she shouldn't have acted on her own."

"She should have told me."

"Maybe she thought I was at work and didn't want to disturb me."

"I hope the two leaders don't mind."

Great Leader: "It's fine, it's in the past."

"Shazhu, I'm tired, I want to rest."

"You can go back first."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu immediately became displeased.

This is basically being told to leave.

However,

he still put on a full smile and said, "Okay, then I won't disturb the Great Leader's rest."

"By the way, Great Leader, starting tomorrow I'll come cook for you and attend to you."

Great Leader: "No need, no need, you still have your own work."

"Tomorrow Factory Director Liu has already arranged for Nan Yi to come make soup for me."

Shazhu: "Nan Yi?"

Great Leader: "Exactly, his soup is superb."

Shazhu let out a light sigh and said, "Alright, since the Great Leader has decided, I'll head back first."

The Great Leader nodded.

Shazhu held in his frustration and returned to the Siheyuan, heading straight for Xudamingjia.

He wanted to vent his anger on Xu Damao.

Whenever he was in a bad mood, he liked to take it out on Xu Damao.

Now Xu Damao had also beaten the Second Elder and San Da Ye, so he certainly wouldn't let this chance slip.

Yu Haitang had just come back from outside, sat down not long ago, when Shazhu pushed the door open and stormed in.

She frowned, looked at Shazhu, and said unhappily:

"Shazhu, do you still have any decorum?"

"Do you still understand etiquette?"

"You don't even know to knock when entering someone's home."

Shazhu: "Um, I, I'm just in a hurry."

"I'm not here to see you; I'm asking you, where is Xu Damao?"

Yu Haitang: "He hasn't come back at all."

"After such an incident, how could he dare to return?"

Shazhu couldn't believe it.

He looked around, then went to the inner room doorway, peeked inside a few times, and then left.

He came to the house in Houyuan that the Deaf Old Lady had left for him, and he raised his hand and knocked.

Not long after.

The door opened.

When he saw it was Qin Huairu, he was about to speak, but who knew Qin Huairu gave him a glare, snorted coldly, turned around and lay down on the bed.

She gave him another cold look!

Shazhu felt utterly stifled.

After thinking a moment, he sat down at the table and asked:

"We've gotten the certificate, so do you want to sleep together tonight?"

Qin Huairu hummed and said, "Nice try."

"You can sleep together, but first you must quit that restaurant and never see Teacher Ran again."

Upon hearing that, Shazhu's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Qin Huairu continued, "I made it perfectly clear that day we got the certificate."

"If you truly like me and really want to be with me, then leave that restaurant and leave Teacher Ran."

Shazhu: "Let's talk about this later."

Hearing that, Qin Huairu couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

She thought Shazhu had agreed to her condition.

Shazhu poured himself a cup of water, took a sip, and asked:

"I ask you, the Great Leader is ill and asked me to cook for him—why didn't you tell me?"

Qin Huairu sat up, looked at Shazhu, and instead of answering, countered:

"What's the difference?"

"We've already gotten the certificate—does it matter whether you go with me or not?"

Shazhu: "The difference is huge."

"No, how can you decide for me?"

Qin Huairu: "What's wrong?"

"I didn't think you'd be busy at the restaurant, I didn't want you to tire yourself."

Shazhu: "Is this about being tired?"

"Do you know who the Great Leader is?"

"I've already told you."

"If we get on good terms with him, then it's Lin Shengli—we'll have nothing to fear, understand?"

Qin Huairu: "Then, is it the same whether I go with you or not?"

Shazhu: "Same my ass!"

"With your little skill, can you even get on stage?"

"You, I've tried to get you to learn cooking from me properly, but you just won't learn."

"If you had put more effort into learning from me before, the Great Leader wouldn't have such a big issue with us."

Upon hearing that, Qin Huairu's face changed, and she asked:

"What did you say? The Great Leader has an issue with us? And a big one?"

Shazhu: "That's right."

"I just went to his place."

"Good grief, they've all given me the boot."

"I voluntarily said I'd start cooking for him tomorrow and wait on him."

"Do you know what people are saying?"

"They flatly refused and even said they'd already called Nan Yi."

"Oh, Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, the network of connections I painstakingly built—you've destroyed it completely."

Qin Huairu: "How, how could this happen?"

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this either."

"The soup I boiled and the dishes I made for them—they still praised them."

Shazhu: "That's just politeness."

"Even if you had Xiao Dang do it, they'd still praise it as delicious."

"No, Qin Huairu, can't you tell that's just empty talk?"

Qin Huairu frowned, glared at Shazhu, and said irritably:

"That's not my fault either!"

"If you had just quit that restaurant back then, you wouldn't be at home now when the Great Leader sent people—they would have found you."
