"Uncle, are you busy?" Xu Ying walked to the gate of the largest textile factory in the county and started chatting with the security guard.

She grabbed a handful of milk candies from the space and handed them to the old man.

The old man didn't want to pay attention to Xu Ying at first, but when he saw the milk candy she handed over, his expression changed instantly: "Oh, this is so expensive, how can I accept this from you."

As the old man spoke, his hands never stopped moving and the smile on his face continued.

"Look at what the uncle said. It's not that precious. Take it back and give it to your children to sweeten their mouths." Xu Ying said generously.

Seeing how generous she was, the old man guessed that she must be the child of some leader, and immediately started chatting with her enthusiastically.

After a while, the two of them were as affectionate as grandpa and grandson.

Xu Ying learned from the old man that the textile factory was indeed recruiting workers recently, but they were only recruiting general workers and there were no office jobs.

Not to mention the kitchen, there is no need for anyone at all.

Xu Ying was a little disappointed after hearing this. She had been thinking about getting a job in the kitchen to cook. There were so many people in the textile factory, and her favorability would increase dramatically by then.

But she was not discouraged. If the textile factory didn't work, there were other factories.

Seeing that there was no useful information, Xu Ying prepared to leave before she even walked out the door.

Then I saw several men in Zhongshan suits coming out.

Some of them were still wearing work clothes from the textile factory and were very respectful towards the men in front of them.

"Then I will come to see your products next time. I hope I will be satisfied when I come to your factory next time." The man's eyes were full of sarcasm.

After he left, several textile factory leaders looked worried and said, "Our fabrics have already met their needs, but he keeps finding fault with us. I think he is just looking for trouble."

"Director Chen, why don't we find out his preferences and cater to his tastes..." The subordinate next to him suggested.

The middle-aged man called Director Chen touched his bald head and quickly agreed: "Okay, Xiao Chen, I'll leave this matter to you."

Xiao Chen nodded, but before he could start to act, the young man next to him said, "Director Chen, I heard that Director Sun is a food lover.

I usually like to eat some delicious food. I heard that Chef Ge from the state-owned restaurant is a great cook. If I can ask Chef Ge to cook for Director Sun, I'm sure Director Sun will be happy soon."

When Director Chen heard this, his eyes lit up, but he soon frowned. Chef Ge's cooking skills were amazing, but this old guy had a weird personality and was unwilling to cook except when he was at work.

If we go to a state-owned restaurant, it's impossible to discuss cooperation in such a messy place: "Who of you will invite Chef Ge?"

Several people looked at each other, lowered their heads and were unwilling to speak.

Xu Ying walked over with a smile: "Director Chen, right? I noticed that you became the director at a young age, you are really amazing!"

Director Chen was usually the most conceited. He had originally disliked Xu Ying's laughter, but now he was surprised when he heard this: "How old do you think I am?"

"Around thirty years old?" Xu Ying asked puzzledly.

The eyes of the men next to her were as big as eggs. This little girl's eyesight was really not very useful.

Director Chen's mouth corners lifted greatly, and he felt very happy: "How can she be that young? I'm already over 40 years old. You, a little girl, don't have good eyesight."

Xu Ying was surprised: "Ah? You are actually over 40. I don't think you are. Blame my poor eyesight."

Xu Ying said the last sentence with a look of shock on her face.

Director Chen was even happier now. He touched his bald forehead. Hey, he still looks the same as before. Otherwise, the girl would have mistaken her age! Xu Ying quickly continued, "Director Chen, I heard you guys want to recruit a chef? I heard that Chef Ge is famous for his strange temper. I'm afraid he won't help easily, right?"

Director Chen looked worried.

Xu Ying said in embarrassment: "I can help you, but I don't know if you can trust me."

Then Xu Ying volunteered, "Director Chen, if you trust me, I can cook for you. My cooking skills are definitely not inferior to Chef Ge."

Director Chen looked disdainful and said, "Just keep bragging."

How could she be more capable than Chef Ge at such a young age? Chef Ge's ancestors were imperial chefs. How could a little girl like her compare to them?

"How many years have you been learning to cook? How old were you when you started?"

"I taught myself at home and have known it since I was young. I have a talent for cooking and everyone praises me for my good cooking skills." Xu Ying said without blushing.

In her previous life, she studied with her master for several years, but now she hasn't really learned much.

When Director Chen heard this, he felt that it was unreliable. How could someone who taught himself not even have a master learn so well? He directly rejected Xu Ying.

Xu Ying continued cheekily: “Director Chen, if you don’t believe in my cooking skills, I can cook it for you on the spot.

If you think my cooking skills are good enough, you won't have to go to the trouble of hiring Chef Ge, right?"

Director Chen snorted coldly, raised his head and asked, "Why are you trying so hard to cook for me?"

Xu Ying blinked her eyes, trying to make them look rosy: "My family is poor, so I want to find a job to earn money. My two nephews are so skinny that their clothes are torn and patched up.

I thought that as an adult, I could make some contribution to the family.”

When Director Chen heard this, his heart was touched, his eyes flashed, and he finally agreed.

If this girl really has good cooking skills, he won't have to please Chef Ge. If this girl doesn't have such cooking skills, then he can just kick her out. Whether it is the former or the latter, he will not suffer any loss.

"Okay, then come with me to the kitchen."

After hearing this, Xu Ying's eyes sparkled and she immediately followed Director Chen to the textile factory canteen.

When the chef of the textile factory heard Director Chen say that the girl was here to cook, his eyes were filled with hostility and disgust.

He thought that this girl was here to steal his job, but when he saw how young and frail she was, he immediately smiled and said, "Director Chen, our canteen serves big pot dishes. This girl is so thin, can she lift a shovel?"

Director Chen also looked confused.

Xu Ying entered the kitchen, and fearing that they would think she was not capable enough, she rolled up her sleeves and started working.

There were cabbage, eggs and tomatoes in the cafeteria, but no meat at all.

Xu Ying washed the vegetables quickly and skillfully, and then worked on the chopping board like a fish in water, which directly blinded Director Chen and the canteen chef.

The cafeteria chef, in particular, was instantly nervous when he saw that Xu Ying's knife skills were better than his.

It's over. He's probably going to lose his job.

This little girl looks frail, but how come she is so strong? She cuts vegetables as fast as lightning.

And the knife work is perfect.

Director Chen was also a little surprised. Looking at Xu Ying's knife skills in cutting vegetables, he realized that she had really practiced it.

He touched his bald head, waiting for Xu Ying to give him a big surprise.

Xu Ying stood in front of the burning fire, like a chef who had been cooking for decades, with skillful movements. As the hot oil started to burn, she put the vegetables into the pot, and instantly the room was filled with fragrance.
