Ma Hua never expected that just after transmigrating, he would be beaten by Idiot Zhu for speaking ill of Qin Huairu, and then be called by Idiot Zhu to take the blame for him. Why should he?
"It's alright, the dishes I prepared are fine, just watch."
When MCA saw the middle-aged woman for the first time
I immediately recognized her as the wife of the high-ranking official from the original story.
When Ma Hua saw that the wife of the current high-ranking leader had said such a thing, he immediately understood.
It must be a reward from the previous system.
It's all thanks to the friendship of the big boss; otherwise, how could a lousy cook like me have ever been mentioned by him?
"Okay, that's fine then. Ever since I heard from my husband that you've been cooking..."
I was so worried that the food I prepared wouldn't be good enough, but hearing you say that put my mind at ease."
When the leader's wife heard Ma Hua say that, she immediately offered words of comfort.
That's good. I'll eat more today and really enjoy the delicious food that MCA makes.
My own husband has praised MCA to me several times already, and I've been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Oh, by the way, could you check if anything's missing from the kitchen? Let me know if anything is missing."
"I'll have Xiao Chen prepare it for you," the leader's wife suddenly realized that her own kitchen couldn't compare to the cafeteria's kitchen.
If anything is missing, you should arrange for someone to prepare it quickly; you can't delay the MCA's cooking.
"It's alright, don't worry, it'll be fine. You can come at noon."
Ma Hua first carefully examined the seasonings before slowly speaking.
After all, I'm here to cook for others, so I need to check carefully.
Seeing Ma Hua's meticulous attitude, the high-ranking leader's wife was even more excited.
Remembering that he still had things to do, he immediately said to Ma Hua, "Okay, Master Ma, then I'll trouble you."
I have something to do here, so please go ahead and take care of it. Let me know if you need anything.
After the leader's wife finished speaking, she saw Ma Hua nod before turning and walking outside.
Watching this scene, Ma Hua couldn't help but sigh, realizing the difference between knowing someone and not knowing them.
In the original work, to highlight Sha Zhu's excellent cooking skills, they used a jarring, abrupt change.
First, Sha Zhu angrily confronted the high-ranking leader's wife; then, the high-ranking leader's wife realized she had judged him by his appearance and apologized.
While it might seem exciting to watch, it's unrealistic, since Sha Zhu is someone brought by Factory Director Yang.
If Sha Zhu wasn't a good cook, why would Factory Director Yang have brought him along?
After all, the higher-ups were Director Yang's direct superiors. Director Yang brought Sha Zhu and Xu Damao along.
It's all just to curry favor with the boss.
Ma Hua watched the departing figure of the high-ranking leader's wife, then turned around and began preparing for the meal.
I must say, the original novel was really enjoyable to read. After Xu Damao was driven away,
Sha Zhu quickly prepared a table full of dishes.
But this is the real world, and the idea of a big boss having only one stove is really unrealistic.
She had to prepare for a long time. Ma Hua was diligently preparing in the kitchen.
On the other side, Xu Damao was led by Secretary Chen to the high-ranking leader's reception room.
After making arrangements for Xu Damao, Secretary Chen turned and left immediately.
Xu Damao watched the film that Secretary Chen had given him and sighed to himself.
No wonder he's a leader; the movies in his home are so new!
I was also curious, what kind of movie is this? There's not even any packaging.
This must be a film they're circulating among their leaders.
I wonder if I'll have a chance to see it later. Then I'll have something to brag about when I'm out.
After Xu Damao finished setting up the projector and drew all the curtains in the living room,
He wandered aimlessly around the reception room, his shifty eyes scanning the surroundings, inwardly sighing.
This looks like the home of a high-ranking official.
This decor, this furniture, I've actually seen it all before.
Xu Damao's furtive glances around were noticed by the leader's wife.
Who are these people that Xiao Yang brings to his home? Is it appropriate to bring them to his home?
The leader's wife had some questions in her mind.
Unfortunately, Xu Damao still doesn't understand that the leader's wife has already become suspicious of him.
He even greeted the leader's wife warmly, saying, "Hello, I am Xu Damao."
"I'm the projectionist from the steel rolling mill. Director Yang specifically asked me to come. Hello, how can I help you?"
The high-ranking leader's wife first glanced at Xu Damao from head to toe before saying calmly, "Hmm, okay."
Then you'd better get ready quickly. The commander is in a meeting and will be here shortly. Is everything alright for you?
"Don't worry, how could such a good internal film have any problems?"
Moreover, my projection skills are the best in our steel rolling mill.
Even Director Yang praises me from time to time.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine," Xu Damao said immediately, patting his chest.
This middle-aged woman in front of me can come and go from this house at will.
Moreover, it dared to scold itself without even recognizing it.
This woman must be a member of this family, and she must hold a very high position.
As Xu Damao thought this, his gaze towards the leader's wife became even more ardent.
The high-ranking leader's wife was pleased to hear Xu Damao praise her so highly.
However, he felt a slight sense of wariness towards Xu Damao.
Over the years, I've met all sorts of people while working with high-ranking officials.
Could the person Xiao Yang brought be just a smooth talker who only knows how to flatter?
"Okay, I hope it's as you said." The high-ranking leader's wife still suppressed her dissatisfaction with Xu Damao.
He said it calmly.
"Just you wait and see, my projection skills are among the best in Beijing."
