Chapter 29 Good News (Part 2)
When Master Zheng returned to the second canteen, he was in high spirits.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he said loudly, "Come on, everyone, put down your work for a while. I have good news for you. It will take a few minutes."
Swish!
The moment they heard Master Zheng's voice, all of Master Bao's men dropped their work and gathered around him.
"Old Zheng, please tell me quickly. You have been talking about good news since this morning, but you are not telling me. I am getting anxious..." Master Cao said unbearably.
"Yes, yes, Master Zheng, please tell us quickly and don't keep us in suspense!" Aunt Jinhua urged.
"It's like this, I and the canteen..."
A loud shout interrupted Master Zheng's words. He looked at Zheng Yongqiang, who had a terrified face, and frowned slightly.
"Qiangzi, what are you doing?"
No, Qiangzi doesn’t like everyone in the cafeteria, that won’t do. Master Zheng thought secretly that he had to persuade Qiangzi well, as the people from the two canteens had to cooperate with him next.
"Uncle," Zheng Yongqiang asked hesitantly, "Uncle, did you really go to the cafeteria to pick a fight with someone?"
Zheng Yongqiang cried out, "Uncle, you are confused. Let's go to the canteen together. If you can't save your face, I will go and apologize for you. I will work like a slave and ask the people in the canteen to forgive you..."
At the end of his speech, Zheng Yongqiang's eyes were red.
No, that’s all. Master Zheng looked at his annoying nephew, and then at Master Bao and others who had confused expressions on their faces.
Master Zheng gritted his teeth and said, "You guys!" He reached out and flicked Zheng Yongqiang's head with no mercy at all.
Zheng Yongqiang's forehead turned red all of a sudden. Master Zheng still felt unsatisfied, so he stomped his feet hard.
"Is this how you think of me, Old Zheng? You guys! Wait..." The suspicion in Master Zheng's eyes turned into surprise, "Are you planning to cause trouble for the canteen?"
"Master Zheng, what are you talking about? We are not that kind of people!" Aunt Jinhua said immediately.
"I, Old Zheng, am not that kind of person!" Master Zheng replied forcefully. Master Bao and others, especially Zheng Yongqiang, lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"That's good, that's good, we are all honest people, haha." Master Bao came out to smooth things over, and Master Zheng snorted.
"Would you like to hear the good news?"
"Listen, listen, listen!"
"Ahem, I went to talk to Political Commissar Lei and Master Yang from the first hall about something today... This is an idea I came up with."
After saying everything, Master Zheng said something with obvious implications, indicating that they could start praising him.
Master Bao and others were indeed shocked by the news, and this news was indeed good news as Master Zheng said.
"Old Zheng! You are awesome!" Master Bao came back to his senses and praised.
"Uncle, you are worthy of being my uncle." Following closely behind was Zheng Yongqiang, the uncle.
Then, warm cheers broke out in the kitchen of the second cafeteria.
"Master Zheng, you are worthy of it!"
"Master Zheng, you really did a great thing for us!"
"Master Zheng..."
"Ahem, okay, okay, we still have to wait for approval from above." Master Zheng said, "It may take a day or two before we can implement it."
"The higher-ups will definitely approve it!"
"That's right, the suggestion made by our Master Zheng is very reasonable."
"No reason, but what a great idea!"
…
In the cafeteria, Jiang Yingying and others also learned the news from Master Yang, and everyone was looking forward to the approval of the top leaders.
So, during the next few meals, people who went to the cafeteria to eat found that the kitchen staff in both cafeteria one and cafeteria two were all very happy, as if it was New Year’s Day.
After Master Zheng and his colleagues submitted the report they had discussed, it was approved in less than two days.
Political Commissar Lei first went to canteen one to notify and asked which canteen breakfast would be prepared in. He then went to canteen two and asked the same question.
Actually, everyone was fine with it. In the end, it was Political Commissar Lei who made the decision to take turns changing the venue, spending half a month in the first canteen and half a month in the second canteen.
For the first half month, I will work in Canteen 1. The chefs for breakfast in Canteen 1 will now take turns to be Jiang Yingying and Chef Zheng.
The kitchen helpers take turns working in each canteen for half a month.
The first half of the month was spent in a canteen. When everyone in the second cafeteria heard the news, they felt a little regretful.
Zheng Yongqiang looked at his uncle, Master Zheng, and said, "Uncle, how about I go to work in the cafeteria with you tomorrow?"
Cai Ming and Cao Jiawang pricked up their ears and waited for Master Zheng's reply. They also wanted to go!
"Why are you coming with me? You don't have a day off tomorrow. Why are you thinking about working when you are on break? If you go to work during your break, the cafeteria won't charge you more money!"
Master Zheng gave him a lecture, and Zheng Yongqiang became depressed, as did Cai Ming and Cao Jiawang.
Forget it, they should just go to a cafeteria for breakfast tomorrow.
On the first day the new policy came into effect, Jiang Yingying got up early as usual.
"Yingying, Master Zheng seems to have a bad temper. If he says something unpleasant, don't get angry with him. Just let it go in one ear and out the other..."
"If he really goes too far, tell me and I'll go talk to him..."
"Brother, I know. Master Zheng is a very nice person." Jiang Yingying said helplessly. Her brother's loving nagging was really scary. He kept telling her to hurry up and repeated the same few words over and over again.
"Eh," Jiang Chao stopped talking, and Jiang Yingying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "He Tuan, what a coincidence, are you going for a run?"
Jiang Yingying looked up and met He Yan's deep eyes. She turned her eyes away and took a breath. Why did she suddenly feel the air around her was so stuffy?
"Good morning, Captain He."
"Good morning, Comrade Jiang." He Yan's eyes fell on her face. He pursed his lips before looking away and answering Jiang Chao's question. "Well, out for a run."
"Then, He Tuan, do you want to practice together later?" Jiang Chao got excited for a moment, and after seeing Jiang Yingying beside him, he said, "Forget it, He Tuan, you go practice, I'll take Yingying to the cafeteria first."
"I don't need to send you off, brother, you..."
"Let's go together."
Jiang Yingying's unfinished words were all interrupted by He Yan's words.
Jiang Yingying and Jiang Chao looked at He Yan in surprise. It was at this time that He Yan discovered that the two siblings looked quite alike and had similar eyes.
He Yan pursed his lips and said it again.
"Let's do it together." He explained, "We just practiced for a while, so just consider sending Comrade Jiang off as a break. We can practice together again later."
