"Great! I caught you, right? You haven't been paying attention at work these past few days. You made two mistakes in the data, writing 9 as 7. If you had submitted it as is, do you know how much loss it would have caused to our store?"

Han Shuyan stood beside her and pointed at the documents that were returned to her.

He looked very pleased, as if he had finally caught her.

He Ruixue didn't look up. "It was a mistake caused by my negligence. I admit it, but such an obvious mistake will definitely be discovered during the final accounting. You don't have to worry about it causing losses to the store."

Han Shuyan was infuriated by her disregard for him. "You're so shameless even after making a mistake. Sister Han even praised your ability and asked me to learn from you. What should I learn? Are you trying to be passive and lazy?"

Be careful, I'm not the only one who has a problem with you. They say you're popular at work, but I think it's all exaggerated. Be careful, the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

He Ruixue sneered, "If you don't attract envy, you're mediocre. Thank you for your attention to me, but if you can take the time to do your job well and make real contributions to the store instead of just using trivial things as a token of support, the secretary might value you more."

Xu Dening had been unhappy with him for a long time and joined in, "I heard that some people's procurement quotas are still zero. Not to mention going to the countryside to get extra supplies, even basic tasks are pushed onto others.

I might have to go home and eat by myself next month, so how can I still have time to care about others?"

Han Shuyan couldn't argue with the two of them, so he snorted coldly and walked away.

He Ruixue continued to organize the documents in silence.

She had been busy with Zhao Jiajia's affairs these days and was a little careless when recording the numbers.

But this is not a big deal. Normally, colleagues will make two or three mistakes, and those who are not good at math can make more than ten mistakes.

However, she used to check in advance before submitting her work, which allowed her to maintain a zero error rate, so her situation this time seemed rather special.

Han Fuqing was worried that something had happened at her home, so she talked to her. When she found out that she could handle it herself and promised that she would be back to normal soon, she stopped caring about it.

Who knew that Han Shuyan would hold on to her tightly, as if she had committed some big mistake.

Xu Dening advised, "Ignore him, he's like a sick man. The purchasing team's work is already heavy, and now here comes someone who doesn't put in any effort. He really annoys me to death.

Obviously, he has more connections than me and a better status than me. If I just ask him to deliver the goods quickly, he will definitely give me some face."

He did not cherish such good conditions and only engaged in crooked activities.

He really couldn't understand how this man had lived to this age.

"Don't worry, I don't think the secretary will tolerate him forever. If he doesn't improve next month, I'll go talk to Sister Han."

The worse he performs, the more it damages the secretary's reputation. Although people don't say it openly, they will have doubts in their hearts.

The secretary is busy with many things all day and may not pay attention to these things, but Han Fuqing is smart and will definitely understand the seriousness of the matter.

Besides, the secretary might be soft-hearted towards Han Shuyan for the sake of his own brother, but she wouldn't.

"From what he said just now, I'm afraid he's going to trip you up. Be careful. He's nothing, but if he collaborates with others and uses some sinister tactics, it's hard to guard against. If you get caught, it'll be a hassle to deal with."

"There are only a few people in the store who don't like me. I can guess who they are with my eyes closed, and I'll keep an eye on them from now on."

"Just be prepared. If he goes too far, tell me and we can find a way to get him away."

Xu Dening crossed his arms, his eyes flashing with eagerness. It was obvious that he had been thinking about this matter for more than a day or two.

"You said that if he broke his leg, he definitely wouldn't be able to be a buyer. The secretary would probably assign him to the publicity team, which would be his wish."

He Ruixue teased him, "Yeah, maybe he'll thank you when he finds out."

He nodded. "That's not necessary. We should be friendly to our colleagues and help each other. That's what we should do."

The two of them joked around for a while, and at noon, He Ruixue and Xia Lingqing went to the cafeteria to eat.

Zhu Haihui made a grand return and showed off his cooking skills. The first dish he made was his specialty, braised pork.

Xia Lingqing, who usually has no shortage of food, was also stuffing his mouth with chopsticks. "Our Master Zhu's cooking skills have improved again. If there are more assessments, he might be able to get a promotion, which is more than enough for a job in a big hotel."

Braised pork is fragrant and tender, but some people use too high a heat or put too much sauce, which makes it taste a bit bitter.

But his was not like that at all, the skin and fat had a very sticky texture.

The lean meat part is neither too dry nor too loose, but slightly soft and elastic. It is filled with rolled bean curd skin and soaked bamboo shoots, which absorb the soup and are very refreshing.

The other employees behaved similarly to Xia Lingqing, and even mixed another dish of stir-fried cabbage with the braised pork soup, making the vegetables taste like meat.

The rice stall is particularly busy today, but the steamed buns are somewhat unpopular.

After washing the lunch box, He Ruixue walked to the kitchen. It was late autumn, and Zhu Haihui had just finished working with the big pot, and his forehead was still covered in sweat.

He was instructing his young apprentice in cutting vegetables, using radish for practice. After cutting, the radish was pickled into shredded radish, which was used as a regular pickle in the factory.

"Hold your hands steady, curl your left fingers inwards to avoid cutting your hand, and keep the back of your right fingers against the back of the knife..."

You're holding the knife wrong. Who told you to put your thumb on the handle? It's on the blade, and your back three fingers are gripping the handle, with your tiger's mouth holding the back of the blade."

He held the teacup in one hand and used the other to help him adjust his posture from time to time. “These things, in the past, the master would not teach you. How much you can learn depends on your understanding. You will learn it after cutting your hands a few times.

It is easy to cut into strips, especially radishes, which are full of moisture and are the easiest to cut.

I've taught you all the tricks. The knife needs to be sharp, your wrist needs to be steady, and you need to stay suspended in the air. After you're done cutting, step back. Do as I say and finish cutting this basket of radishes. I'll come check on you tomorrow."

The young disciple nodded quickly, "Thank you, Master. I will try my best."

"Practice diligently. Craftsmanship won't fool you. Don't be afraid of hard work or fatigue."

After saying that, he hummed a little tune and left the chopping board. Seeing He Ruixue, he greeted her with a smile, "Hey, rare guest, how come you are here? I don't have any big bones left these days."

"I'm not here to ask you for bones."

Recently, the two dogs have been living with Jiang Yanxu. They have so much prey in the mountains that they can’t eat it all, and they probably don’t want to leave.

She took out two lunch boxes and knocked on the lids. "This is for Sister Xia and me. I'd appreciate your help in packing more."

"I knew you two wanted to eat and take away everything, and you never treated me politely."

Zhu Haihui muttered as he opened the lid of the small pot. The braised pork inside was still emitting faint steam.
