Chapter 23

Hearing this, Xu Damao thought about how he could make Sha Zhu suffer again, and he became happy again instantly.

Consequently, he hummed his little tune and headed towards the second cafeteria.

Sha Zhu's status was the head chef of the second cafeteria, and his culinary skills were so-so, so every time there was a banquet for leaders, he would be specially kept behind.

Deputy Factory Manager Li even instructed him that if there were any leftovers from the banquets, he could pack them up and take them away.

The propaganda slogan was there: waste is a quite shameful act.

And packing up these leftovers was not considered taking public property.

But Sha Zhu had his own ideas about this.

He couldn't be bothered to look at those leftovers; every time the food came out of the pot, he would pack it up directly.

He would keep two containers in the back kitchen; every time the food came out of the pot, he would fill his own portion to the brim.

One of the containers was used to hold the hot food that had just come out of the pot.

And the other one could hold a few white flour buns or other things.

This had already become an unspoken secret in the cafeteria.

But no one dared to gossip about this kind of thing.

After all, Sha Zhu was a jerk; who would go and provoke him for no reason?

And most of the food that Sha Zhu packed home was snatched away by Qin Huairu.

Even his own biological sister, He Yushui.

Only on rare occasions could she eat these good things.

This was why the Jia family relied solely on Qin Huairu to support them, with a salary of less than twenty-eight yuan per month.

Yet Mrs. Jia, Jia Dongxu, and his grandson could all be well-fed and shiny.

Even Jia Dongxu, who was already a useless person, showed signs of slowly gaining weight.

Only Qin Huairu and her two daughters looked quite thin due to long-term malnutrition.

"Little Ma, you are responsible for stir-frying the dishes today."

"Just follow what I usually say and prepare the seasonings and such first."

In the kitchen area of the second cafeteria, Sha Zhu sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, crossing his legs and giving orders.

The work here had always been his responsibility alone.

But because of what happened yesterday, his whole body was aching terribly today.

So he was too lazy to move and handed everything over to his apprentice.

"Sha Zhu, what are you doing here?"

Xu Damao walked into the back kitchen area in a swaggering manner, saw Sha Zhu still sitting in the chair, and asked.

"What's the matter, is your skin itching for a beating again?"

As soon as Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao, his anger flared up instantly.

"Oh my..."

"It hurts me to death!"

Sha Zhu was about to stand up, but a sharp pain surged through his whole body, and he could only sit back down slowly.

Seeing that the other party had completely lost his usual arrogant spirit, Xu Damao felt extremely satisfied.

"Do you still want to make a move? Huh! Zhuzi!"

"Let me tell you, this time, I, your grandfather, have come with a task ordered by Factory Manager Yang."

Sha Zhu's resentment towards Chen Tian deepened even more at this moment, especially when the pain in his body surged.

If it were usual, Xu Damao wouldn't dare to greet him in such a swaggering manner.

He would have already been thrown to the ground and beaten by him!

"If you have something to say, say it quickly; don't bother your grandfather, your grandfather is about to get off work!"

Hearing that it was ordered by Factory Manager Yang, Sha Zhu's spirit also restrained a bit.

At the same time, he was still calculating in his heart when he would be better, so he could beat the other party up again.

"Yo, you're still thinking about getting off work early?"

Seeing the other party's gnashing-teeth appearance, Xu Damao's mood became even better.

"There's no way today; Factory Manager Yang specifically asked me to tell you to arrange a dinner party tonight."

"And Deputy Factory Manager Li also said that you should bring out your best skills; if there is any perfunctoriness, then just wait for a disciplinary action!"

Sha Zhu felt somewhat depressed upon hearing this.

He felt uncomfortable all over today, and his bones seemed to be dislocated.

He had even specially asked his apprentice, Ma Hua, to help with the dishes.

He was just thinking about being able to get off work a little earlier tonight.

But he didn't expect a sudden complication, and Xu Damao said such things again.

This dinner party was also called a reception meal, which was much higher-end than the big pot rice.

Generally, if such a banquet were held, it would be for factory leaders to receive figures from the organization.

If there were any mistakes in the dishes he made, it might also lead to problems in the leaders' work.
