Chapter 1122: Judge

~8 min read 1,555 words

In the sunny campus, walking out of the cafeteria.

Hu Yifei was still looking at Zhang Cheng with a suspicious face, appearing exceptionally astonished.

"Why are you staring at me?"

Looking at Hu Yifei curiously, Zhang Cheng wiped his hair back and said: "Don't love me, there's no result!"

"Slap!"

A slap landed on Zhang Cheng's shoulder, Hu Yifei said in shock: "What kind of soup did you feed Professor Dong? He let you, a person from the Philosophy Department, run to the Architecture Department to be a teaching assistant, and with full benefits, it's simply incredible!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Hu Yifei appeared very dazed.

Hearing Hu Yifei's words, Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Song Dynasty architecture is actually very simple, it's just the column-reduction method and the column-shifting method, but the problem is, these two techniques have almost been lost. Why his ancient tower isn't right is because the gap between the main beam and the crossbeam isn't done using these two methods."

Looking at Zhang Cheng with sudden realization, Hu Yifei then asked: "You know how?"

"I am but a humble person, I only know a little bit!"

Making a gesture that it was insignificant, Zhang Cheng looked at Hu Yifei with a face full of smiles.

"Really annoying!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng angrily, Hu Yifei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Thank you so much today, when I get my salary, I'll treat you to a big meal!"

Looking at Hu Yifei, Zhang Cheng spoke very gratefully.

Because as a newly moved-in neighbor, Hu Yifei actually didn't need to introduce Professor Dong to him, especially since the other party was so familiar with Hu Yifei.

As the Vice Dean, even if Professor Dong didn't like Zhang Cheng, at the very least, a teaching assistant position in the Philosophy Department wouldn't have run away, and as for these benefits, they certainly couldn't be mentioned in the same breath!

After all, when Hu Yifei brought him in, it already proved that she was paving the way for Zhang Cheng using her own connections!

"You don't want to take me to the cafeteria to eat, do you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's cunning gaze, Hu Yifei became suspicious.

"Hey, Yifei, how could you think of me like that? I am famously a man of my word!"

Looking at Hu Yifei seriously, Zhang Cheng hurriedly explained.

"Zhang Cheng? The 'Cheng' of integrity? If I'm not mistaken, that's how you introduced yourself last night, right?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng playfully, Hu Yifei teased.

"Cough, cough, don't let your imagination run wild, I'm just proving that I am a person of integrity!"

Looking at Hu Yifei's sharp eyes, Zhang Cheng felt as if he had been seen through.

"I often heard old people say when I was a child that a person cares about what they lack the most. Do you care a lot about integrity? Or is it that you have no integrity at all?"

Wrapping her arms around Zhang Cheng's neck, Hu Yifei pulled him down.

Facing Hu Yifei's questioning, Zhang Cheng was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, I know culinary arts, I am a disciple of the Lu cuisine tradition."

"Can you not change the subject, please?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Hu Yifei immediately became serious.

"I know how to make First-Grade Tofu, Sweet and Sour Carp, Scallion-Braised Sea Cucumber, Three-Shredded Shark Fin, White-Braised Four Treasures, Sweet and Sour Yellow River Carp..."

Just as Hu Yifei was staring at Zhang Cheng, he actually started reciting the names of dishes.

Hearing so many famous dishes, even though Hu Yifei had just finished eating, she still couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked: "When!"

"Tonight!"

Looking at Hu Yifei seriously, Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and said: "How about it?"

"Deal!"

With a firm handshake, the two seemed to have reached synchronization!

Love Apartment, 3603.

Inside the kitchen, a group of people were surrounding Zhang Cheng, their faces showing looks of surprise.

Skillfully flipping the wok, after Zhang Cheng flipped the carp, he backhanded it onto the plate with a spoon.

Sprinkling on the sweet and sour sauce, the carp standing up looked as if it were leaping over the Dragon Gate.

Although this dish requires Yellow River carp, but... for Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms, you can't really go catch a flying dragon, right?

Lu Yan: Buddy, do you want to learn Northeast cuisine?

Zhang Cheng: The master leads you through the door, the sentencing depends on the individual?

"Wow!"

Looking at this scene in disbelief, everyone present was frozen on the spot.

"Even a three-star Michelin chef wouldn't be this amazing, right?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in surprise, Chen Meijia really couldn't find any adjectives, so she praised him immediately.

"No, a three-star Michelin chef doesn't have this skill!"

Hearing Chen Meijia's words, Lin Wanyu on the side hurriedly explained.

"How do you know?"

Looking at Lin Wanyu, Lu Ziqiao and Lu Zhanbo asked as if they had discovered a "point of interest."

"Because isn't it obvious? I cook better than them! Whether it's cooking or being a person!"

Smiling, Zhang Cheng carried the plate and set it on the table.

Looking at Zhang Cheng before her, Chen Meijia hurriedly picked up her chopsticks and stepped forward, preparing to taste it.

But just at this moment, Lu Ziqiao on the side hurriedly pulled her and said: "Chen Meijia, what are you doing? Everyone is still waiting! Let me go first..."

Watching everyone scrambling to taste it, Zhang Cheng tidied up his apron and placed it to the side.

Because after so many years, he had only learned how to be a person as taught by his master; he was still far from the peak of cooking!

Li Yicong: Disciple, the 'being a person' that master spoke of really isn't what you understand it to be!

Zhang Cheng: Cooking starts with being a person, I understand, Master!

Liu Hongchang: We were both taught by the same master, how did he learn to be like this?

"Wow, it's really delicious, Zhang Cheng, have you considered opening a restaurant? You'd definitely make money!"

Giving a thumbs up, Lin Wanyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Because this was better than what the three-star Michelin chef in her family made; the two were not even in the same league!

"I learned to cook mainly because of the heritage! After all, the principles of being a person are the same as cooking!"

Speaking seriously, a look of determination appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

However, looking at Zhang Cheng, Zhang Wei asked suspiciously: "When did you learn? How come I didn't know?"

"Just those few years I was out!"

Speaking with a face full of smiles, Zhang Cheng had just sat down when he saw that several dishes had all been eaten up.

"No, you guys?"

Looking at Hu Yifei and the others in shock, Zhang Cheng held his chopsticks, appearing very astonished, because they were really capable of devouring everything!

Patting Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, Hu Yifei picked her teeth and leaned into his ear, saying: "I'll eat your secret for a lifetime!"

Looking at Hu Yifei suspiciously, Zhang Cheng widened his eyes, full of disbelief.

After dinner, Zhang Cheng sent Zhang Wei downstairs.

"By the way, are you free tomorrow? I have a case here, just going through the motions, there's no hope left, but I want to try. The law firm has already handed it over to me!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Zhang Wei couldn't help but become excited.

And looking at Zhang Wei's appearance, Zhang Cheng understood somewhat what he was thinking, then patted him on the shoulder and said: "You don't want to turn a suspended death sentence into immediate execution, do you?"

"It's not that scary, it's just a five-year fixed-term sentence, what if I succeed in fighting for it!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Zhang Wei hurriedly retorted.

"Alright, I'll go through the motions with you tomorrow!"

Looking at Zhang Wei with annoyance, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and went back, because cases that law firms generally give up on are more or less impossible to overturn!

The next day, inside the court.

Looking at the dejected client, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but yawn.

Because in this situation, if it weren't for Zhang Wei's insistence, the client wouldn't have intended to continue the appeal at all.

Stepping forward to take the materials, Zhang Cheng then moved the things onto the table.

"Hey, hey, hey, defense attorney's assistant, that material is mine!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Cheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Sorry about that!"

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng put the material back, and then casually took away the pen and gavel on the table.

Looking at the table for a long time, the judge finally looked at Zhang Cheng and said: "Wait a moment, Saint of Thieves, where are my gavel and pen?"

Glancing around, Zhang Cheng then looked at the gavel in his hand and said: "I used to fix cars, it's just a habit..."

"You don't have a criminal record, do you?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, the judge hesitated for a long time before asking.

Following the completion of his words, everyone present stared at Zhang Cheng, appearing exceptionally suspicious.
