Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

The new week arrived as expected, and Lu Qing went to the factory after breakfast as usual.

When passing by the compound, many people took the initiative to greet him, and Lu Qing responded one by one.

Everyone can see that Lu Qing is now very different from before. He has become more confident, and his every move has a bit more grace.

Perhaps because he had a backer, his changes impressed many people.

After walking out of the courtyard, there were already many people busy on the street, some going to the steel rolling mill, and some going to the food factory next door.

Everyone's face is filled with anticipation for the future and satisfaction with the current situation.

After a while, Lu Qing's way was blocked by a fat middle-aged man.

The person who stopped him was none other than the second uncle Liu Haizhong in the backyard.

Liu Haizhong came forward with a smile: "Lu Qing, I heard that you are very successful now and have a bright future."

Lu Qing smiled modestly: "Second Master, that's not the case. How can I compare to you?"

Liu Haizhong shook his head and smiled, "How can I compare to you? I heard that you have relationships with big leaders now. They are incredible leaders." His tone was full of flattery.

Lu Qing just smiled faintly and did not respond to the conversation.

He knew Liu Haizhong's character very well. This man was a typical "official-hungry guy" who had relied on gifts and connections for years to climb up from an ordinary technician to a small management level in the factory.

Although his position was not high, he was already a well-known figure in Siheyuan, and even the old man had to give him some face.

In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Lu Qing took the initiative to change the subject: "Second Master, is there something you want to talk to me about today?"

Liu Haizhong didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Nothing else, I just thought that since you are working in the cafeteria now, could you make something delicious for everyone?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Oh, so that's it. Don't worry, I cook carefully every day, and everyone's meals will definitely not be bad."

Liu Haizhong frowned slightly, glanced at Lu Qing, and felt a little unhappy.

He thought to himself, Lu Qing clearly understood his hint, but he pretended to understand nothing, trying to get away with it?

This boy is really slippery.

So he directly said, "I like beef the most. Why don't you make some beef for everyone to try at noon?"

Lu Qing didn't expect that Liu Haizhong would come to him for such a matter.

He sneered in his heart, but remained calm on the surface: "Second Uncle, you are mistaken, right? I am only responsible for cooking, purchasing is not my responsibility, you have to ask Director Li for that."

"Director Li has always been in charge of purchasing. If you want to eat beef, you have to tell him." After Lu Qing finished speaking, he looked at Liu Haizhong with a smile, knowing clearly what the other party was planning.

The smile on Liu Haizhong's face disappeared instantly, and his expression turned cold. "Lu Qing, you are now the chef of the factory, and you have the final say. How could Director Li refuse your request? Don't forget that you have the support of the big boss behind you."

He continued: "Such a good opportunity, you must make good use of it and don't waste it."

Lu Qing sneered in his heart, understanding Liu Haizhong’s true intention.

The other party wanted to use his power to suppress him and gain some benefits from it.

Lu Qing said coldly: "Second Uncle, if you want to eat meat, you can go buy it yourself. Do I know you that well?"

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Liu Haizhong's face froze instantly, and his face was full of disbelief. He never thought that Lu Qing would reject him so directly.

Lu Qing continued, "I just entered the cafeteria and you're looking for trouble with me. Have I offended you before?"

"I...how could I want to hurt you?" Liu Haizhong stammered in retort.

"Those unreasonable demands just now were nothing but harm to me." Lu Qing sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Liu Haizhong said unconvincedly: "I just made a request. If you don't want to agree, forget it. Why are you wrongly accusing me?"

Lu Qing looked at Liu Haizhong's shameless look and felt it was both ridiculous and absurd.

After saying so many unreasonable things, he is now pretending to be innocent.

He curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, then walked around the bangs and walked away.

Liu Haizhong thought Lu Qing would argue with him for a few words, but he didn't expect Lu Qing to leave so abruptly.

Looking at Lu Qingyuan's back, the expression on his face became gloomy and anger surged in his heart.

This kid doesn't even take me seriously now. He is getting more and more arrogant!

He stared coldly at the direction where Lu Qing disappeared, and was so angry that he couldn't recover for a long time.

Lu Qingze was in a terrible mood because of this unpleasant experience.

Obviously today was the beginning of a new week and he should have been in high spirits, but the rude request from Bangs completely ruined his mood.

Lu Qing was indignant. Although he had known that Liu Haizhong was a person who liked to use backdoors, it was only after experiencing it himself that he realized how annoying such people were.

Just as he was busy, He Yuzhu appeared in the cafeteria and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When Lu Qing saw He Yuzhu, he sneered in his heart. He Yuzhu no longer had the arrogance he once had. After losing his cooking skills, he looked particularly embarrassed.

At this moment, He Yuzhu was not as arrogant as before. Instead, he was evasive, with a hint of uneasiness in his expression.

When Ma Hua saw He Yuzhu coming, he immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master, you are here. Are you feeling better?"

He originally wanted to test whether He Yuzhu's cooking skills had recovered, but due to the occasion it was not convenient to say it directly, so he had to ask it indirectly.

He Yuzhu glanced at Ma Hua and cursed in his heart that this disciple was so tactless and was really talking about things that were not relevant.

"A little better!" He Yuzhu said casually.

Ma Hua misunderstood his meaning and immediately showed an excited look: "I knew that you would be able to make it through, Master!"

Ma Hua was relieved, thinking that as long as He Yuzhu was fine, their position in the cafeteria would remain secure, and no matter how hard others tried, they would not be able to shake their position.

At this moment, Director Li walked in from outside. Seeing He Yuzhu, he said "Huh" in surprise, then walked forward with a smile: "Shazhu, you are finally back! You don't know how busy we were during the two days you were away."

He chuckled and patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder, and continued, "You came at the right time today. You can have a share of the lunch!"
