Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

Others may not know Lu Qing well, but Director Li knows it clearly.

In the cafeteria, Lu Qing has always had no sense of existence and has been suppressed by He Yuzhu all year round, as if he was destined to be the kind of person who is unknown and gradually fades into silence.

Director Li has seen many people like this. They usually live a mediocre life and don't even have the chance to climb up.

However, Lu Qing gave people a completely different feeling today. His words and attitude were completely different from usual.

Each sentence seemed casual, but was actually well thought out and logically clear, firmly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Not only did everyone understand the master-disciple relationship between him and He Yuzhu, they also knew that He Yuzhu had never taught him wholeheartedly and that he learned his cooking skills entirely by self-study.

The senior leader already had some opinions about He Yuzhu, and after hearing this, he saw through He Yuzhu's character even more.

Lu Qing's performance today undoubtedly exposed the conflict between him and He Yuzhu.

From then on, it was almost impossible for He Yuzhu to play any tricks in front of the big boss.

Director Li secretly sighed in his heart: "Great! Really great! Lu Qing is finally getting the idea!"

Lu Qing enjoyed this meal very much.

He had the experience of dining with leaders before, and was well aware of their preferences. He was very tactful in his conversation, with neither flattery nor exaggeration.

This made the top leaders appreciate him even more.

After all, it is really impressive that a young man in his early twenties can be so steady and cultured, and be able to act with ease.

When the dinner ended, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon.

Lu Qing personally escorted the leader out of the factory, which marked the completion of today's mission.

Director Li looked at him and said with a smile, "Boy, you did a good job today."

"Thank you for the compliment, Director Li. This is all part of my job," Lu Qing responded modestly.

"It's good that you've got it. Keep going, and you'll benefit from it in the future." Director Li patted his shoulder, with some appreciation in his tone.

"Thank you, Director Li." Lu Qing thanked him with a smile.

When we returned to the cafeteria, everyone was busy packing up.

Some were washing dishes, some were tidying up; it was obvious that the lunch that had just ended left them with a lot of follow-up work to do.

As soon as Lu Qing walked into the room, everyone inside looked at him.

Zheng Min came over and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the big boss asked you to have dinner together, is it true?"

"Yeah." Lu Qing nodded in acknowledgement.

"It's such an honor!" Zheng Min exclaimed.

Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's just that the big boss happened to like the food I cook."

"This is already amazing." Zheng Min sighed, not everyone has this kind of luck.

"Where is He Yuzhu?" Lu Qing looked around and didn't see He Yuzhu, so he asked casually.

Zheng Min pointed outside and said, "He went out to chat with Ma Hua. I don't know what they talked about."

Lu Qing nodded, knowing what was going on.

Zheng Min thought about it and then asked, "Then do you still plan to accept He Yuzhu as your master?"

"I don't want to." Lu Qing answered straightforwardly.

He knew in his heart that if he continued to be He Yuzhu's apprentice, he would definitely have a share of his future achievements.

He Yuzhu wants to reap the fruits of his labor without putting in any effort? He is simply dreaming!

However, he couldn't bring this up himself; He Yuzhu had to take the initiative.

More importantly, he had to stand on the moral high ground and not let He Yuzhu take the upper hand.

Of course, Lu Qing already had a comprehensive plan.

At the same time, He Yuzhu and Ma Hua stood in an empty corner outside the cafeteria, each holding a cigarette. Ma Hua lowered his head, looking obviously depressed.

He Yuzhu slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a cold tone: "You should understand the intention of Lu Qing's words just now, right? He did it on purpose to sow discord between us as master and disciple. And you have always been my most valued disciple, and you are also a smart person. You won't be fooled by him, right?"

Ma Hua took a deep puff of his cigarette. The cigarette tip suddenly lit up, then dimmed again, leaving only a wisp of smoke. He said in a low and unwilling voice, "I understand."

He Yuzhu continued, "I have taught you so much. You are my most proud apprentice. I have passed on all my skills to you. You must not be ungrateful."

After hearing this, Ma Hua finally raised his head, with a hint of resentment in his tone: "Master, you did teach me, but why didn't you let me try?"

Today was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the best time for him to show himself to the big boss, but He Yuzhu stopped him.

He Yuzhu quickly explained: "I'm just afraid that you'll mess up. No one will cover you then."

In fact, He Yuzhu is now deeply regretful.

If he had known that Lu Qing could cook, he would never have stopped Ma Hua. Instead, he would have taken the opportunity to teach Lu Qing a lesson.

Now Lu Qing has destroyed the trust between him and MCA with just one sentence, which is really a big mistake.

Ma Hua asked back dissatisfiedly: "But you were standing next to me at the time. How could I have made a mistake with you watching?"

He Yuzhu sighed helplessly, pointed to his head, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I don't want to do it? I don't know what happened. Suddenly, I don't remember any cooking skills."

Ma Hua looked at He Yuzhu in surprise, obviously not understanding what he said: "Wh...what do you mean?"

He Yuzhu showed a look of frustration and repeated weakly: "I don't remember how to cook. My mind is blank. If it weren't for this reason, do you think I would give such a good opportunity to Lu Qing?"

Ma Hua recalled the strange behavior He Yuzhu had shown before and felt it was indeed strange, but he did not expect this to be the case.

How could I suddenly forget a skill I've learned for a lifetime?

"Master, are you sick?" Ma Hua's tone softened immediately, and he seemed very worried. "How about I take you to the hospital to check and see what's going on?"

Ma Hua's attitude obviously softened. If the mistake was really caused by He Yuzhu's physical discomfort, then his previous obstruction was reasonable.

After all, if He Yuzhu couldn't even give basic guidance, and he rushed into the battle on his own, no one would be able to make up for the mistakes if they were made.

When facing a big boss, the price of making a mistake is no small matter. Once you displease the big boss, your days in the future will definitely be difficult.

He Yuzhu felt a familiar concern from Ma Hua's words, and the tension in his heart finally eased a little.

He waved his hand and said softly, "No need, I can go to the hospital by myself. It shouldn't be a big problem and I will recover soon."

Ma Hua nodded, thinking that it might be a minor problem and nothing serious.

I once heard a doctor friend talk about similar intermittent amnesia, but I never expected it to happen to my own master.

"Since you are not feeling well, you should go back and rest early. Don't push yourself too hard." Ma Hua said considerately, "I will explain the situation in the cafeteria to Director Li. He will definitely understand."

Speaking of Director Li, He Yuzhu snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "What's the point of Director Li being so proud now? When I recover my cooking skills, I will see how to deal with him! As for Lu Qing, he must have used some shameful tricks. When I find out, let's see how long he can be so proud."

The day passed quickly and when it was time to get off work, although the news of Lu Qing's cooking skills in the cafeteria had not spread widely, it had caused a lot of surprise in the small circle.

Many people were surprised when they heard that Lu Qing suddenly showed off his cooking skills.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai also heard the news. He was full of doubts and spent half a day trying to figure out what was going on.

After returning to the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai went straight to He Yuzhu's house, wanting to ask clearly: "What is going on? How did Lu Qing suddenly know how to cook?"

He Yuzhu was sitting at the table with a bottle of wine and a plate of peanuts in front of him.

He raised his head and said helplessly: "How should I know?"

"Aren't you his master? If you don't know, who else would know?" Yi Zhonghai said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

He Yuzhu shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, I really don't know what's going on."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and thought: "He didn't know how to cook yesterday? How come he suddenly learned it in one night? Isn't it strange?"

Of course, He Yuzhu had thought about this problem repeatedly, but the more he thought about it, the more headache he felt, and he could not find a reasonable explanation at all.

After much thought, he could only come up with one guess.

"I suspect that this kid has been secretly learning cooking skills, but he just kept it from me." He Yuzhu whispered, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "He took advantage of the big boss coming to the factory today and chose this opportunity to show off. It must have been premeditated!"

After listening to this, Yi Zhonghai pondered for a moment and asked, "Learning cooking secretly? Did he find another master?"

This sentence made He Yuzhu grasp the key point. He stopped peeling peanuts and sneered: "Yes, he is my apprentice. He actually went to learn cooking from others without telling me?"

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the more he felt it made sense, and his smile gradually widened: "He doesn't want to continue in this line of work, right? If I make a big fuss about this, saying that he doesn't respect the relationship between master and apprentice and has betrayed me and joined someone else, it will be enough to ruin his reputation!"
