Although the place was simple, it was clean and tidy, and the air was filled with the aroma of food. He noticed a middle-aged man busy at work, with skillful techniques and quick movements.

"Who is this?" Yang Ming pointed at the middle-aged man and asked.

"Oh, this is our canteen's chef, Liu Hongchang." The staff member next to him introduced him. Yang Ming nodded and walked forward, "Master Liu, can I have a taste of your cooking?"

Liu Hongchang smiled and nodded. After a while, several delicious dishes were placed in front of Yang Ming. He tasted them carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Good! Great cooking skills!" Yang Ming praised, "Master Liu, I would like to invite you to be the chef for this graduation banquet." Liu Hongchang was a little surprised, but he quickly agreed. He knew that this was a good opportunity to show himself.

Back at the store, Yang Ming told Nan Yi about his decision. Although Nan Yi was a little disappointed, he also understood Yang Ming's intention. He knew that Yang Ming's ambitions went far beyond this.

The day of the graduation banquet finally arrived. Yang Ming stood at the door of the second canteen, welcoming the guests. He was filled with anticipation and excitement.

Just then, a young girl walked into the second canteen. Her name was Nana, and she was the only student in the school who was admitted to university. Her friend He Wenhui followed closely behind.

"Master Liu, these are Nana and He Wenhui from our school," the staff member introduced.

Liu Hongchang smiled and nodded, but his eyes fell on He Wenhui involuntarily. She was young and beautiful, with outstanding temperament, which made Liu Hongchang look at her a few more times.

"Master Liu, we want to hold a graduation banquet here." Nana said, "He Wenhui is the only student in our school who was admitted to university. We want to give her an unforgettable memory."

Liu Hongchang nodded, "No problem, I will try my best."

In the next few days, Liu Hongchang and He Wenhui had more and more contact. He found that she was not only talented, but also kind-hearted. The relationship between the two gradually warmed up.

On the day of the graduation banquet, the second canteen was bustling with activity. Guests praised Liu Hongchang's cooking skills, and He Wenhui also spent an unforgettable night.

"Chef Liu, I heard that the canteen will be merged into the instant noodle factory soon?" Yao Guofa, the canteen director, asked while tasting Liu Hongchang's cooking.

"Yes, I heard that the new factory director Yang Ming is a visionary person. I hope he can bring new changes to the canteen." Liu Hongchang replied while stir-frying the dishes in the pot.

At this moment, a figure hurried into the cafeteria. It was He Wenhui. She looked haggard, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Chef Liu, I have something to ask you." He Wenhui's voice trembled a little.

Liu Hongchang stopped what he was doing, turned around, and saw the twenty yuan in He Wenhui's hand. His heart tightened.

"Wenhui, what's wrong with you? What happened?"

He Wenhui's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "My child has been admitted to university, but my family really can't afford to hold a graduation banquet. I heard that the food in the cafeteria is good. Can you help me with this 20 yuan to hold a graduation banquet?"

Liu Hongchang looked at He Wenhui, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He nodded and said, "Wenhui, don't worry, I will definitely help you organize a decent graduation banquet."

In the next few days, Liu Hongchang started to get busy. He used the food and manpower in the cafeteria to carefully prepare for He Wenhui's graduation banquet. The half-meat and half-vegetarian dishes were both within the budget and decent.

However, just one day before the graduation banquet, Yao Guofa found Liu Hongchang.

"Chef Liu, I have good news to tell you. The new factory director Yang Ming is going to hold a graduation banquet for his cousin in our cafeteria, and he specifically asked you to be the head chef." Yao Guofa's face was filled with joy.

Liu Hongchang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. He nodded and said, "This is a good thing. I will definitely perform well."

However, Liu Hongchang was filled with worries. He was worried that his plans would be disrupted by He Wenhui's entrance banquet, and he was also worried that his performance would not satisfy Yang Ming.

The day of the graduation banquet finally arrived. Liu Hongchang came to the cafeteria early and started to get busy. While preparing Yang Ming's graduation banquet, he was thinking about how to balance the resources and time for the two banquets.

Finally, both graduation banquets ended successfully. Liu Hongchang's dishes won everyone's praise, and He Wenhui also showed a satisfied smile on her face.

"Chef Liu, you are really our savior!" He Wenhui said gratefully.

"No, no, it's all thanks to everyone." Liu Hongchang waved his hands modestly.

Yang Ming also came over, patted Liu Hongchang on the shoulder, and said, "Chef Liu, your cooking skills are really amazing. Our canteen will rely on you from now on."

Liu Hongchang was the junior of the canteen director, and he usually took advantage of this relationship to do whatever he wanted in the canteen. When he learned that he had the opportunity to hold a graduation banquet for Director Yang, he was so happy. He secretly planned that this time he would not only satisfy Director Yang, but also take the opportunity to hold a graduation banquet for He Wenhui, which would save money and give He Wenhui face.

Although Yao Guofa felt a little unbalanced, he didn't say much. He knew Liu Hongchang's character and decided not to tell him about his plan first, and then give him a surprise after things were done.

Yang Ming's second canteen was particularly lively today. He held a graduation banquet for his cousin Zhou Rong, and invited the leaders of the steel mill, people who were friends with Yang Ming, and some uninvited guests who wanted to make connections. Yang Ming was very busy, greeting the guests and instructing the waiters to serve the dishes.

Guests arrived one after another, including the director of the steel mill, Yang Jianguo, and other leaders. They brought gifts and red envelopes and congratulated Zhou Rong. Yang Ming accepted them with a smile on his face.

Zhou Rong was also very happy. She invited her good colleagues, classmates and friends to attend the graduation banquet. Although Zhou Zhigang and his family were far away in Jichun and could not come, Zhou Rong did not feel disappointed. She knew that although her family was not around, their hearts were with her.

The graduation banquet started, and the scene was very lively. The guests sat together, tasting delicious food and talking about Zhou Rong's future. Yang Ming stood aside, toasting the guests from time to time to thank them for coming.

At this moment, Liu Hongchang quietly slipped into the kitchen. He had already planned to take advantage of this opportunity to secretly divert some ingredients to hold a graduation banquet for He Wenhui. He quietly opened the refrigerator, took out some fresh vegetables and meat, and then quietly slipped out again.

Liu Hongchang came to He Wenhui's home and handed the ingredients to her. When He Wenhui saw the ingredients, she was moved to tears.
