Chapter 021 Chapter 21 Self-heating Rice
In the deputy leader's office on the top floor of the center building.
Liu Sisi reported everything she had investigated about An Yiqing from childhood to adulthood.
"Her life trajectory is pretty normal. She's just an ordinary member of the field team, except she's a bit more hardworking and dedicated." Liu Sisi said, "Maybe the boss just randomly picked someone to be in charge of the instant noodles."
Cheng Yue rubbed his brows and shook his head, saying, "Impossible, this old guy is very smart."
Of course, he didn't just think that there was something wrong with An Qing based on this. The main reason was that he had now taken over most of the power in the base and still had a certain degree of control over the research institute. He didn't think that the fact that instant noodles were replicated in the base could be concealed so well that he couldn't get any information at all.
Chengyue's intuition told him that this instant noodles was definitely not something Jiang Fusheng had researched and reproduced, but Jiang Fusheng himself admitted it, leaving him no chance to question it.
"Continue the investigation. An Yiqing originally belonged to Team 188. Let's start with her teammates." Cheng Yue sneered, "I don't believe that old man would send the Fiery Team to protect someone who is useless."
Liu Sisi hesitated. "Leader, since we haven't found anything, it's most likely that the higher-ups have suppressed it. It's not a good idea for us to investigate so blatantly, is it?"
In Liu Sisi's opinion, the big boss is old and has started to slowly hand over power to the leaders in the past two years. In fact, there is no need for the leaders to confront the big boss now.
No matter what the situation is with this instant noodles, the leader can just hold it in and wait and see. Once the big leader leaves, won’t the leader have the final say in the entire base?
Cheng Yue sneered, "What do you know?"
The old man is extremely suspicious and must have become suspicious of him. Otherwise, why has he been more and more wary of him recently? The transfer of power was originally smooth, but it has become slower and slower in recent times. He is deliberately delaying the process.
Chengyue suspected that the old guy didn't want to hand it over to him and wanted to replace him.
He had endured for so many years and finally made it to the top. Seeing that power was about to be obtained, how could he be willing to give it up? If he didn't fight for it now, and really waited for that old man to get rid of him, he would never have another chance in the future.
Chengyue narrowed his eyes and said, "Start investigating An Yiqing first, and be careful."
Liu Sisi had no choice but to agree: "Yes, leader."
On the other side, An Qing walked out of the boss's office feeling refreshed. She was very happy because she had achieved her goal.
The top leader agreed to her request, which further established her position in the base. Although it was still too early to say so, An Qing already felt very good.
Walking out of the office and seeing Wei Xunyi outside, An Qing thought of Liu Sisi and asked, "Secretary Wei, who is Secretary Liu?"
Wei Xunyi was a little surprised that she asked so bluntly, and said with a smile: "Secretary Liu is the chief secretary beside the deputy leader."
An Qing asked doubtfully, "Deputy Leader?"
It's not that she didn't know the deputy leader, but this deputy leader didn't have a strong presence in the base before, and the original owner had basically no impression of him. However, in recent years, she had heard many teams mention the deputy leader.
The original owner didn't have much contact with other teams and didn't say much, so he didn't hear much.
Wei Xunyi nodded, "Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, the deputy leader will become the next big leader."
An Qing paused, then thought of Liu Sisi.
Although it is not appropriate to use a secretary to confirm what kind of person the leader is, An Qing feels that with a secretary like Liu Sisi, the deputy leader's working style is probably not what she likes.
Tsk——
She had thought about the next big leader before, and she actually guessed it right to some extent.
Wei Xunyi escorted An Qing and Tang Ming to the elevator. "The facial recognition system needs some modifications according to your requirements. I'm afraid it will take some time. The senior leader has handed this matter directly to Dean Jiang. Maybe it will be ready tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Maybe even the stand-alone version you requested can be made."
An Qing was a little surprised when she heard this, "Didn't they say it would take at least half a month?"
Wei Xunyi smiled, "Others need that much time, but when Dean Jiang takes action, it is definitely different."
An Qing nodded after hearing this. "Okay, in that case, I'll go back to open the shop."
Wei Xunyi nodded and watched them enter the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, and this time no one suddenly came over to press the button to open the elevator door.
After returning to the restaurant, An Qing immediately utilized all the members of the Fiery Team. There was a member of the Fiery Team standing at intervals inside and outside the store, making sure that no one would have the chance to fight again.
In the 200-square-meter restaurant, there are more than 30 people on guard in the fire brigade alone.
There are so many people, it is a bit scary, but it is safe.
Bai Feng kept walking back and forth not far from the hotel, glancing towards the hotel from time to time.
He was so unlucky yesterday and was caught by the Security Department and given a severe scolding. He just got out of the Security Department today. As soon as he got out, he went straight to the hotel, but when he got there he found that the hotel was closed.
In fact, it was not just Bai Feng. There were many people walking around not far away as if nothing had happened, but they never left this area. Their eyes were always on the hotel, obviously they were staring at it.
Bai Feng directly asked one of them, "What's going on? Is the restaurant closed today?"
The person being questioned was obviously very depressed. When he heard Bai Feng's question, he started to complain, "How could that be possible? The restaurant opened early this morning."
Bai Feng was a little surprised: "Then why is it closed again now?"
"It's because of those people who are crazy. What kind of people are they? They should have just lined up in front and eaten happily, but why are they doing such a weird thing? It's so infuriating. There were more than ten people in front of me, and it was about to be my turn, but a fight broke out in the restaurant." This man was really depressed and pulled Bai Feng to complain.
Bai Feng then realized that there had been another fight in the restaurant this morning. The cause was that one person felt unsatisfied after finishing his noodles, but the restaurant only allowed one person to have one portion of instant noodles, so the other person ate the noodles of the people at the same table...
Bai Feng: "..."
He didn't know what to say for a moment.
But to be honest, he definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it if someone snatched the noodles from his bowl.
I can only say that people who try to steal noodles from other people’s bowls are really despicable.
"The boss closed the store because of a disturbance. Did he say it would be open again today?" Bai Feng was a little anxious.
He actually drank nutrient solution today, but he always felt uncomfortable, as if something was missing, and still wanted to eat instant noodles.
"I don't know. The boss didn't say anything. Hey, do you think instant noodles are really that delicious?"
Bai Feng looked at him in surprise, "You haven't eaten instant noodles yet?"
The man nodded. "Yeah, it was already very late when I found out yesterday. By the time I got here to line up, the restaurant was closed. I only smelled the aroma coming from the store. This morning, I lined up, and ended up encountering a commotion inside the restaurant. I really..."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng felt a little sympathy for this man. After all, he had eaten it once before, but this man still hadn't had it yet.
So Bai Feng said honestly, "It's very delicious, even better than what is described in the novel."
"I think so too. I can't stand the aroma coming out of the store." The man swallowed and looked up at the restaurant. His eyes widened and he became excited. "Hey, the boss is back! Is he going to open?"
Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward and instantly took the front position.
Having queued twice last night and this morning, he knew exactly where he should be.
Bai Feng was just one step behind, and when he arrived, there were already a few people lined up in front of him, all of whom had been waiting around here before.
Although there were still several people in front of him, Bai Feng was already very satisfied. It was better than yesterday when there was no one queuing.
A long queue soon formed behind Bai Feng.
At this moment, everyone who should be at work has already gone to work, and those queuing here are those who are on leave today.
The hotel door opened, but the fire brigade guarding the door did not let them in.
Lin Zhiqi stood at the entrance, looking at the group of people who were queuing obediently, and said, "If you have any anger or resentment, please suppress it here. If you want to fight or cause trouble, please leave the hotel and do whatever you want outside. If you cause trouble in the hotel again, you will be blacklisted and will never be accepted again."
This statement is extremely serious.
Everyone, including Bai Feng, widened their eyes.
Someone whispered.
"No way? So strict?"
"Yes, and they will never receive you again. Isn't that too much?"
"What do you mean by strict? Isn't it enough to not fight in the restaurant? If there's something going on, just make an appointment to leave the restaurant and go far away before fighting."
"That's right, those who fight in the store not only affect the boss's business, but also affect our meals, right?"
"Yes, yes, I support the boss's decision. I've been hungry since the fight this morning!"
Lin Zhiqi didn't care what was said in the team. After warning everyone, he distributed numbers, collected money and let people in one by one.
After Bai Feng entered, he was dazzled by the menu.
The current menu was re-drafted by An Qing. It includes many more flavors of instant noodles, as well as hot and sour noodles, self-heating rice, and self-heating hot pot.
Bai Feng saw the self-heating rice.
If you ask what is the most common delicacy in novels, it is definitely not instant noodles, but the legendary rice.
So when he saw the self-heating rice, he immediately ordered it.
Ye Yu reminded: "Guest, the coins you just paid at the door are for instant noodles. Self-heating rice requires 26 coins, so you need to add 23 coins."
Bai Feng felt around and realized he didn't have enough coins. He quickly took out his card and asked, "Can I pay with a credit card?"
Ye Yu nodded: "Okay."
As she spoke, she brought over the card machine. Bai Feng swiped 23 coins, and Ye Yu then recorded the order of self-heating rice with green pepper and beef that he ordered.
Bai Feng didn't have to wait for a while before his self-heating rice was brought out in a square box with a lid on it.
The person who brought the rice reminded me, "Wait fifteen minutes before you can open the lid and eat. You must wait long enough, otherwise the rice will not be cooked."
Bai Feng nodded quickly and looked at the box in front of him expectantly.
