The canteen of the steel rolling mill.
Seeing Chen Jun stroll back from another cafeteria, Sha Zhu went up to him mysteriously.
"Chen Jun, Jia Dongxu has bought the house back again."
Um?
"Is he just bored and has nothing better to do?"
Buying it back after only a few days of selling it, what is this if not just being bored and having nothing better to do?
No normal person would do something so crazy.
"That's right, he sold it for 550 and bought it back for 600. Xu Damao just called him a lunatic."
“Oh, no, he’s always had a mental illness,” Sha Zhu said.
He just couldn't understand why Jia Dongxu was doing this.
Could it be that they have too much money to spend and are deliberately letting Yi Zhonghai make some money?
“That’s right, he already has a mental illness, so it’s not surprising that he did something like this.” Chen Jun waved his hand dismissively: “Go get to work. As long as Jia Dongxu doesn’t cause trouble in the yard, we don’t need to worry about him.”
"Hey, I just don't quite understand."
Sha Zhu chuckled and scratched the back of his head before heading off to the kitchen to get busy.
Now everything in the cafeteria is on track. Even the ham sausages have been sourced from food factories. The cafeteria no longer needs to produce instant noodles and ham sausages itself. It just needs to display the finished products at the cafeteria window, and anyone who wants to buy them can pay directly.
Just as Chen Jun was about to go to his office to slack off, Director Yang's secretary came running over, saying that a lavish lunch should be prepared. Apparently, Director Lou had brought in a big client, so Director Yang had specially arranged for him to cook extra dishes.
Lou Bancheng.
Chen Jun hadn't seen him at the steel rolling mill for a long time, nor had he cooked at their house for a long time. He hadn't expected that he was still busy with things at the steel rolling mill.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Although Lou Bancheng no longer manages the factory's affairs, he is still a director of the factory, and some business matters continue.
"Okay, I understand."
There was a large banquet to prepare at noon, so Chen Jun went to the logistics department and told Director Song about the ingredients needed for lunch, asking him to send someone to deliver them to the kitchen later.
Director Song's eyes lit up when he heard that there would be such a banquet.
"So we'll be having a mixed stew for lunch again?"
Director Song became extremely excited when talking about this "hodgepodge".
This dish was only available to the two brothers in the entire steel rolling mill, as it was a combination of various ingredients.
Chen Jun would make extra of each dish, then put the extra food in a bowl. The more dishes he served, the more abundant the stew would become.
Director Song hadn't had a taste of this for over half a month and was really craving it.
"Okay, come to my office when you're done, we'll have a mixed stew." Chen Jun grinned.
Because this table was quite important, Chen Jun personally cooked for them at noon.
The first few dishes were fairly common cold appetizers: spicy pig's ear, celery and wood ear salad, hot and sour asparagus strips, and cold sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce.
Besides Taibai duck and clams stuffed with shrimp paste, the other hot dishes are also quite common, such as braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs.
A full twelve dishes was already the highest standard of hospitality offered by the steel rolling mill.
"Hey, Director Chen, there was a girl peeking at you just now, she looks kind of familiar."
Just as Chen Jun was engrossed in cooking, Sha Zhu leaned over and whispered something.
A familiar-looking girl?
Chen Jun turned around and glanced at the door, but didn't see anyone.
"Is one of the female workers hungry and has come to the cafeteria to line up early?" Chen Jun replied casually. It was already past eleven o'clock, and there wasn't much time left before the cafeteria opened.
At this time, it was not uncommon for a few workers to occasionally come to the canteen.
Take Xu Damao from the publicity department, for example. He often arrives at the cafeteria early, and the closing bell usually rings right after he enters the cafeteria.
"No, no, I wasn't wearing my work uniform."
Sha Zhu scratched his head vigorously, then suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I remember now, Xu Damao's previous blind date!"
"It's that one, the one with short hair, the one who looks really rich."
Sha Zhu had met Lou Xiao'e once before in the courtyard house, so he still had some impression of her.
It wasn't that I thought Lou Xiao'e was particularly beautiful, but rather that she was Xu Damao's blind date, and the two of them used to be bitter enemies, so I had a deep impression of her.
“Lou Xiao’e,” Chen Jun muttered.
Sha Zhu snorted mockingly after hearing this: "What kind of name is that? It sounds like a moth."
Wow.
Chen Jun gave Sha Zhu a meaningful look. If the plot had developed normally, something would have happened between Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e. It was precisely because of Lou Xiao'e that Sha Zhu had not become childless.
"Uh, why are you looking at me like that?" Sha Zhu felt that Chen Jun's gaze had a somewhat intriguing meaning.
Chen Jun smiled, leaned close to Sha Zhu and whispered, "I just think you two are a good match as a couple."
"Hey, hey, you can't say that!"
Sha Zhu hurriedly looked at Liu Lan and found that she was working diligently and hadn't noticed what was happening. He then breathed a sigh of relief: "You're talking nonsense. I haven't even spoken to that woman. How could we be a couple?"
“Look, your name is He Yuzhu and her name is Lou Xiao’e. Both of you have three-character names. This is destiny.”
have to!
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu stopped arguing with Chen Jun.
There are plenty of three-character names out there; Chen Jun was just making fun of him.
Besides, even if I didn't marry Liu Lan, I couldn't possibly be with Xu Damao's blind date.
I can forgive him for saying I wanted to eat Jia Dongxu's leftovers.
How can you say I want to eat Xu Damao's leftovers now!
Dude, don't you have any pride?!
Seeing Sha Zhu saunter away, Chen Jun couldn't help but smile, glanced at the doorway again, and then continued cooking.
What he didn't know was that right outside the kitchen, Lou Xiao'e was looking at Chen Jun from afar through the food serving window.
She had feelings for Chen Jun before, and her family also wanted to play matchmaker.
Unfortunately, Chen Jun already has a girlfriend.
Now that she's heard they're already married, Lou Xiao'e only watched Chen Jun from afar today and didn't go up to disturb him.
To be honest, Chen Jun did look quite good while cooking.
It's a pity he's already married.
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e pouted somewhat dejectedly and went to the private room.
Inside the house, Lou Bancheng and his wife were already waiting for their business partner. When they saw Lou Xiao'e return with a long face, Lou's mother asked what had happened.
Lou Xiao'e was too embarrassed to say it aloud, and simply said that she was feeling a little unwell.
Lou Bancheng and his wife wanted to ask more questions, but then several voices came from the doorway of the private room.
"Brother Lou, it's been a long time."
"Your factory is getting better and better. Putting everything else aside, the aroma in the canteen is really enticing."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lou Bancheng notified the kitchen staff that the dishes could be served.
