Chapter 22

The First Master was worried that Sha Zhu's future would be damaged and he wouldn't have the ability to support him in his old age.

The Second Master gloated: "Let's see if Sha Zhu is still arrogant in the future."

After lunch, the cafeteria director held a meeting for everyone in the cafeteria.

First, he seriously criticized Sha Zhu's spoon-flipping behavior, work attitude, and ideological style.

Then he praised Cao Cao Weiguo for his serious work, dedication, and unity with fellow workers.

Finally, he promoted Cao Cao Weiguo to take over Sha Zhu's daily work in the cafeteria.

In just a few days, the situation in the cafeteria had changed drastically.

Cao Cao Weiguo caught up from behind, and Sha Zhu left the scene in dismay.

After the meeting, Ma Hua, Fatty, and others became quails trembling with fear.

Li Dong, Ma Liang, and Liu Liu Limin were overjoyed.

Liu Lan and a group of neutralists enthusiastically congratulated him, following the wind.

After work, Cao Cao Weiguo lent his car to Liu Liu Limin and then invited the cafeteria director to Donglaishun for a meal alone.

A meal of shabu-shabu and a drink.

The cafeteria director ate until his mouth was oily and drank until he was overjoyed.

He praised and wooed Cao Cao Weiguo, patting his chest and guaranteeing promotion and reuse.

Cao Cao Weiguo naturally climbed up the pole and expressed his loyalty to the cafeteria director.

One more friend means one more path.

It definitely doesn't hurt to have a good relationship with your direct superior.

Moreover, he also wanted to use the cafeteria director to handle the ingredients he had accumulated.

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Director, a friend of mine has dozens of chickens in his hands, and he asked me to ask if the factory would accept them."

"Dozens of chickens?"

The cafeteria director's eyes lit up: "Accepting them is possible, but the price won't be too high."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a smile, "5% lower than the market price."

The cafeteria director licked his lips greedily: "10%, you can bring them to the cafeteria at any time."

Cao Cao Weiguo was silent, looking troubled, and the cafeteria director didn't urge him.

A moment later, Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Settle on the spot."

The cafeteria director smiled happily and said, "Okay."

Eating a meal of shabu-shabu and making money, the cafeteria director was very happy.

Cao Cao Weiguo, who had thrown out a probe, was also happy.

Although the price was lower than the pigeon market, it was a new path to wealth.

And this was a business with no capital; whatever he sold was profit.

The meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

Cao Cao Weiguo packed up the leftovers and returned to the Sihe Academy, smelling of alcohol.

"Cao Weiguo is back."

As soon as he entered the Sihe Academy, the Third Master came up with a smile.

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Third Master, you haven't slept yet?"

The Third Master said with a smile, "I'm old, so I don't sleep much, unlike you young people who eat well and sleep well."

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "Third Master, you're not old; you're in your prime and will definitely cultivate more pillars of talent for the motherland."

The Third Master said happily, "Hey, the Master likes hearing this from Cao Weiguo."

After saying this, the Third Master stared greedily at the leftovers in Cao Cao Weiguo's hand: "Cao Weiguo, where did you go to drink again? Can you give these leftovers to the Third Master?"

Cao Cao Weiguo held up the packed leftovers: "This is frozen tofu, meatball soup, mushrooms, cabbage, radishes, and a few heads of sugar garlic that I packed from Donglaishun, saving them for tomorrow."

After hearing this, the Third Master's eyes lit up even more; these were all good things.

The Third Master rubbed his hands, unable to bear the itch: "Cao Weiguo, you also know that the Master's family has many people, and the corn buns and salted vegetables aren't enough to eat. You help the Master out."

Cao Cao Weiguo suddenly asked, "Third Master, didn't you say you would help me introduce a partner? How is it going?"

The Third Master's eyes moved, and he smiled: "You give this food to the Master, and the Third Master will put in more effort for you."

Cao Cao Weiguo said in annoyance, "Third Master, are you treating me like a fish? Fishing for me?"

The Third Master sighed and said, "Hey, it's not that the Master won't help you, it's just that Yu Yu Haitang that girl has too high standards, and she didn't agree."

Cao Cao Weiguo said unhappily, "So she looks down on me, then let's end this matter here."

The Third Master comforted him: "Cao Weiguo, don't be discouraged. Missing out on such an excellent young man as you is Yu Yu Haitang's misfortune. In the future, the Master will introduce you to better ones; our school has many female teachers."

Cao Cao Weiguo stuffed the packed food into the Third Master's hands: "Fine, just for your good intentions, I'll thank you first."

The Third Master was pleasantly surprised and beamed: "Thank you, Cao Weiguo. Don't worry, the Master will definitely not let you suffer a loss." ===== CHAPTER 40 =====

Sihe Academy

Jia Family

The five people were so hungry that their stomachs were rumbling, and they couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

Because there was no more lunchbox from Sha Zhu, the Jia family's standard of living dropped sharply.

One meal consisted of three corn-flour buns and a pot of cornmeal porridge.

Bang Geng and Jia Jia Zhangshi each had one.

Qin Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Little Huaihua shared one.

But even so, Bang Geng and Jia Jia Zhangshi were still hungry and uncomfortable.

"Qin Qin Huairu, hurry up and go find Sha Zhu to get something to eat."

Jia Jia Zhangshi guarded against Sha Zhu like a thief, but she couldn't do without him.

Sha Zhu's lunchbox had long since made Jia Jia Zhangshi's mouth greedy.

Qin Qin Huairu said gloomily, "Mom, Sha Zhu has been transferred away from the kitchen and can't bring out leftovers. Even if I go to his house, I won't find anything to eat."

Jia Jia Zhangshi cursed, "Sha Zhu, that useless big fool, can't even keep his job as a cook; he's really a waste and a fool."

Qin Qin Huairu's stomach was also uncomfortably hungry, and she had some complaints about Sha Zhu in her heart.

He clearly had good culinary skills, but he just didn't know how to conduct himself, causing him to lose his job in the kitchen now.

The job in the kitchen didn't pay much, but it had many benefits and there was no shortage of food.

Jia Jia Zhangshi shouted, "Then you go boil some more porridge; I'm really too hungry to stand it."

"Mom! I'm hungry!"

"Mom, I'm hungry too!"

"Little Huaihua's stomach hurts from hunger!"

Bang Geng, Xiao Dang, and Little Huaihua, the three children, begged because they were hungry.

Qin Qin Huairu felt bitter in her heart and stood up helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll go boil porridge."

When she got to the kitchen and saw the bottom of the flour bag, tears welled up in Qin Qin Huairu's eyes.

"Mom, why don't we endure it a bit longer? Our family only has one bowl of cornmeal left."

"If we eat it today, there will be nothing to eat tomorrow."

Jia Jia Zhangshi stood up and cursed, "You useless broom star, can't you get more food back? You want to starve us to death so you can remarry, right!"

Hungry and uncomfortable, Jia Jia Zhangshi's anger flared up.

When she married Qin Qin Huairu into the family from the countryside back then, she wasn't happy, thinking that Qin Qin Huairu, a village girl, wasn't worthy of her son.

But she couldn't withstand the fact that Qin Qin Huairu was beautiful, her son liked her, and the bride price was low.

But who would have thought that not long after they got married, her son would have a work-related injury.

Jia Jia Zhangshi believed that Qin Qin Huairu had cursed her son to death.

She had been holding back anger in her heart.

Jia Jia Zhangshi pointed at Qin Qin Huairu: "I don't care what method you use, Bang Geng and I cannot go hungry, or else you can just roll back to the countryside."

"Mom! My stomach is hungry!"

Bang Geng didn't care about Qin Qin Huairu's mood; he rolled on the ground holding his stomach and shouting, just thinking about getting full.

"I'm boiling the porridge now, you just endure it a bit longer."

Qin Qin Huairu couldn't bear it, and with red eyes, she went to boil the porridge. ===== CHAPTER 41 =====
