Chapter 115 Going South
"This question is really hard to explain. Simply put, it's 'upstairs and downstairs, electricity and telephones'."
Du Shaojie smiled. If he looked at it from the perspective of two lives, there are many goals that seem unrealistic at the moment, but they will be realized quietly in the future.
The future is bright, and the road is tortuous, but he couldn't explain it clearly to the two little brats.
In fact, the two sisters are not young anymore. Xiaomei is now 15 years old and is currently in the third grade of junior high school. Xiaoya will be 12 years old after the Chinese New Year and is currently in the fifth grade of elementary school.
In the fall of this year, Xiaomei will be promoted to high school, and Xiaoya will be promoted to junior high school.
After eating this New Year's Eve dinner and cleaning up the mess, Du Shaojie and his two sisters went out to set off firecrackers. This year, everyone's enthusiasm for buying fireworks and firecrackers is particularly high. As long as they don't cause a fire, they can set them off at will.
At night, the family sat together to play "Upgrade".
Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei played against each other, and Du Shaojie and Xiaoya played against each other. They played until almost twelve o'clock, and then everyone went to wash and sleep.
Before going to bed, Du Shaojie counted his gains.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Level 3 chef]
[Current works: Sweet and sour carp, braised spare ribs, stir-fried kidney and liver, stir-fried mutton with green onions, fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu]
[Overall evaluation: medium]
[Bonus: duration of simulated chef skills competition (240 hours)]
[Reward: exchange points (24 points), simulated training duration (240 hours)]
[Special reward: none]
[Exchange points: 42 points\42 points]
[Duration: 560 hours\2976 hours]
Today's New Year's Eve dinner was performed normally, with no surprises or surprises. The duration and exchange points were supplemented, which was a kind of comfort.
The next day, which was the first day of the new year, Du Shaojie rode his bike to the bureau first.
Starting from Chen Jizhou's home, he also went to the homes of Huang Yicheng, Zhai Yucheng, Jiang Yong, Wang Bin and others, and greeted these people one by one. Anyway, it's just a matter of sitting for a few minutes, just be polite.
Liao Yongxin and Wang Liwen were not at home. Liao Yongxin went back to his hometown to visit relatives, while Wang Liwen went back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year while on a business trip. They both meant the same thing.
After leaving the unit, Du Shaojie rode his bike to Director Luo's house.
Director Luo still lived in the same place, but the house was very deserted and no one came. Director Cai had been transferred to another place and there was no one around him who could be used.
"Xiao Du, thank you for remembering to come and see me. My problem has been almost explained, and there will be a conclusion after the New Year. I haven't done too many good things in these years, but I haven't done too many bad things either, so I should be able to get through it smoothly."
Director Luo looked much calmer than before, with a hint of indifference to everything.
Du Shaojie briefly explained his situation and left.
On the third day of the New Year, Qi Yan called Du Shaojie, Su Dapeng, Xiaomei and Xiaoya to her home for dinner.
"Yanzi, if you can handle your work, you'd better take some time to review your lessons. I have a feeling that the resumption of the college entrance examination will not be far away. You haven't dropped your lessons in the past few years. It would be a big loss if you don't give it a try." It
was a rare gathering for everyone, and the atmosphere at the table was good.
Du Shaojie also drank two more glasses, and then, while drunk, he revealed a piece of news to Qi Yan.
Of course, he couldn't swear that he knew the general situation, and could only rely on the mysterious "premonition".
Qi Yan didn't say anything yet, but her parents thought so. Qi's father often said in private, "Learn math, physics and chemistry well, and you won't be afraid to travel around the world." He also believed that the current talent selection mechanism would definitely change.
Recommending to go to college is obviously unreliable. From the perspective of fairness, it still has to be the "college entrance examination."
After her parents finished their long speeches, Qi Yan said, "It just so happens that I also need to strengthen my professional learning, and I have never fallen behind in reviewing my high school courses. Shaojie and Dapeng, do you have any ideas?"
Su Dapeng shook his head hurriedly, "Forget it, I didn't learn much in school before, and now I have already given it back to the teacher."
"Our situation is here. We have both officially joined the workforce, so we may not meet their requirements. What's more, I can't give up my salary to study, right?"
Du Shaojie had thought about this problem a long time ago. After thinking it over, the reality did not allow him to take the college entrance examination.
Qi's mother secretly said, "What a pity!" and changed the subject.
After the holiday, Du Shaojie thought he would be free for a while, but he didn't expect to be busier than during the Chinese New Year.
Liao Yongxin had not returned from his hometown to visit his relatives, and Tang Li from the second kitchen was promoted to a full-time administrator, so he and Liu Wenhui from the third kitchen were the only chefs left in the entire canteen.
Liu Wenhui was also a person who just wanted to get by, so Du Shaojie actually became the main person.
However, no matter how busy he is during the day, he will take time to continue learning and honing his cooking skills. After 500 hours of simulation training, most of the dishes can get a "medium" simulation evaluation.
When there were 60 hours left, he plunged into the A2 group of the Simulated Chef Skills Competition.
This time he won the championship of the "A2 Group of Simulated Chef Skills Competition" smoothly, which gave him a new understanding of his cooking skills.
He set a goal for himself to pass the second-level chef exam before the end of this year!
[Duration: 10 hours\2976 hours]
The remaining time was about to run out, and he was forced to rest for two days before getting a supplement.
However, improving cooking skills can be done slowly and steadily, and there is no need to rush for it.
This morning, Du Shaojie was busy in the kitchen, and Wang Bin walked into the cafeteria with two strangers. At first he didn't care, but Wang Bin waved at him, and he realized that the visitor was related to him. He
put down the things in his hands, explained to Liu Wenhui, and walked over.
"Master Du, these two comrades are from the province. They have some situations that they need to understand from you. Please cooperate."
After Wang Bin finished speaking, he pointed at the two strangers and motioned Du Shaojie to follow them.
Du Shaojie was a little puzzled. What could he do that was worth the other party's special trip? But he didn't ask much, and then followed the two to the small meeting room in the office building.
When he walked in, he saw that there was another female comrade inside. She had prepared paper and pen, and it seemed that she was going to make a formal record.
"Comrade Du Shaojie, we are here to see you today because of Comrade Luo Zhiming's matter. We hope you can answer the questions truthfully. First of all, can you tell me what is your relationship with Comrade Luo Zhiming?"
This was not an interrogation, but a formal conversation.
After listening to the other party's opening remarks, Du Shaojie immediately understood that they were here for Director Luo.
"Director Luo and I have an ordinary comradeship. I am a chef and have gone to Director Luo's home to help cook a few times, that's all."
"Oh? As far as we know, Luo Zhiming thinks highly of you. Whenever he needs to entertain important guests, he asks you and Liao Yongxin to his home to cook. Then let me ask you, do you know who he has invited to his home for dinner?"
"I don't know! Master Liao and I are always busy in the kitchen every time we go there, and we are not needed to serve the dishes. After we finish our work, we simply eat a meal and leave. We have never seen the guests you mentioned."
"Oh? According to the information we have, Luo Zhiming treats you very well. Including your secondment to Xijiang Hotel and Kunlun Hotel, Luo Zhiming instructed Cai Jing to handle it.
Afterwards, Cai Ning also went around to help you transfer to another work unit. So tell me, is the relationship between you really as you said, just an ordinary comradeship?"
"I don't know the reason for the secondment. I went there after the notice was sent to the unit. As for the transfer, I did ask Director Cai for help, but it didn't work out."
The question and answer had a bit of an interrogation feel to the end.
However, Du Shaojie insisted that he and Director Luo were just ordinary people. After all, he had stayed in Laolonghe Farm until the policy was implemented.
In fact, he was telling the truth.
Du Shaojie had never been on Director Luo's boat, and he knew nothing about his important affairs.
Therefore, the person who came to investigate did not get the desired result after asking for a long time, and then asked Du Shaojie to sign the conversation record, and the three of them left in a hurry.
"Is Director Luo going to overturn the car?"
Du Shaojie could not find out the inside story and could only guess.
After Liao Yongxin came back from visiting relatives, he quietly asked the other party. The other party did not know the specific situation, but told Du Shaojie not to worry. It was said that someone above was determined to have Paul Zhiming.
Later, Liao Yongxin was also called in for questioning, and there was no follow-up to this matter.
One day at the end of March.
After work in the afternoon, Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin walked out of the cafeteria talking and laughing, and a jeep parked in an open space not far away suddenly honked twice.
The two looked over subconsciously, and then they saw Cai Jing leaning out of the car window.
The other party waved and motioned for the two to come over.
"Get in the car, and follow me to see the director. Of course, if you feel it's inconvenient, forget it, just pretend I haven't been here."
Cai Ning looked a little tired, with dark circles under his eyes, obviously he didn't get enough rest.
Liao Yongxin was about to retire, and he was not afraid of anything at all, so he got on the jeep. Du Shaojie was about the same, and it was too late to draw a clear line with others at this time.
Seeing that the two got in the car without hesitation, Cai Ning nodded with satisfaction.
"The director is leaving Xijiang. Before leaving, he wants to invite a few old friends to dinner, so he has to ask you two to help. It happened suddenly, and there are not many dishes in the evening, so you two will have to work hard."
Cai Ning didn't treat Du Shaojie and Liao Yongxin as outsiders, and told them in detail about Director Luo's recent situation.
Director Luo almost didn't make it this time, but later someone from above spoke for him, and he finally got through the danger. He couldn't stay in Xijiang anymore, so he went to Guangdong Province.
His rank there would remain the same, but he would just be given a sinecure.
"Director Cai, what about you?"
Du Shaojie felt that Director Luo was still lucky. After all, he not only landed safely in the end, but he could continue to contribute his remaining energy.
Then he asked about Cai Jing's whereabouts.
"I will probably go too, but a few months later. If I leave, I will go to the south. Alas, I am a native of the northwest, and I don't know if I can adapt there."
Cai Jing replied with a smile, and soon, the jeep drove into a retirement home.
