On the way back, Zhou Yue sat in the passenger seat. He seemed to have guessed something but was not sure: "Manager Tian, you are going to Hai'an Hotel for dinner tonight!"
Tian Hao hummed: "It's okay at night."
Who works overtime every day, yet nothing happens the next day?
Zhou Yue pursed his lips and asked politely, "Manager Lin is getting engaged, are you unhappy?"
"Why should I be unhappy?" Tian Hao sneered: "She and Song Xiaochuan are pretty good together, aren't they?"
But……
Seeing that his face was as gloomy as water, Zhou Yue didn't ask the rest of the question. After all, Manager Tian's face didn't look happy at all.
Back at the project department, Tian Hao buried his head in his work. Someone transferred the internal line to him: "Manager Tian, it's the city government's call."
"Turn around."
The person who called was from the Haicheng Safety Supervision Bureau, who was responsible for the safety issues of the project department. Originally, these issues were handled by Shen Subai, but after Shen Subai left, all the work was distributed. Now Tian Hao took the initiative to volunteer, and the people above gave him the job without saying anything to save the Tian family's face.
"Manager Tian, the first phase of the project has been completed. The government here wants to send someone to inspect it. Who will be responsible for the connection?"
Tian Hao hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me take over."
The person on the other end had a good relationship with Chen Subai, so naturally he was also familiar with Tian Hao. He hummed and changed back to a friendly tone: "I really don't understand you young masters from Beijing North. When Chen Subai's position was about to be promoted, he just left to do business. You don't want to develop in Haicheng in the future, but you insist on taking on these stalls."
Everyone knows that Tian Hao came to Haicheng to "gild" himself, as a logistics manager. He is usually not busy but has a professional title, so that he can be directly assigned a job at the same level when he returns to Beijing in the future. After all, the Tian family has its roots in Beijing, and he is not like Shen Subai who marries a Haicheng wife, so he will not stay in Haicheng in the future.
This was Tian Hao's plan before. He was not very career-oriented. He planned to hang out in Haicheng for a few years, then return to Beijing to get an easy job, marry a woman of equal status, have children, and live a comfortable life for the rest of his life.
But now he seems to have suddenly changed his mind.
"Not necessarily." Tian Hao chuckled: "What if I become Haicheng's son-in-law in the future like Brother Chen?"
The person on the other end laughed: "How is that possible? It's strange that your mother agreed. She will drive you back home herself when the time comes."
Tian Hao seemed to be joking and nodded in agreement: "Yes, they are not so easy to talk to. How dare I resist my family?"
He is not Shen Subai and does not have such great ability.
But he knew it was impossible, and he had already accepted his fate, but he unconsciously began to follow Shen Subai's path. Perhaps there was still a tiny hope in his heart, hoping that he would have the courage to resist.
Although Hai'an Hotel was closed at this time, it was still very lively.
Song Xiaochuan really bought a lot of expensive ingredients and the two girls were amazed: "I have never seen anything like this, let alone eat it!"
"Manager Lin, Chef Song is so good to you. He makes delicious food for you every day. Are you going to never cook for the rest of your life?"
"Still cooking! As soon as Manager Lin's eyes moved, Chef Song wanted to send all the good things over."
What the two girls said was not an exaggeration. Anyone with eyes could see how good Song Xiaochuan was to Lin Cuiping. He was unconditionally obedient to her, without any conditions at all.
Lin Cuiping's vanity was satisfied again. She sat outside with her legs crossed, watching Song Xiaochuan and his two apprentices busying themselves. She boasted without thinking: "I can't help it. Who made Song Xiaochuan like me so much? I actually observed him for a long time before he agreed. You don't know, there are so many men chasing me, and I didn't like any of them!"
Tingting opened her eyes wide: "Then Chef Song must have put a lot of effort into catching up with you."
Manman also clasped her hands together: "I really can't imagine what it would be like for Chef Song to confess his love to someone else."
Lin Cuiping coughed twice: "Anyway, he just shamelessly said that he liked me and wanted to marry me!"
She completely forgot that if she hadn't forced Song Xiaochuan, this man would probably never dare to cross the line in his life, let alone confess his feelings. He would have to suppress his thoughts that anyone could see.
But Tingting and Manman believed it. They exchanged envious, jealous and shocked looks, and then looked at Song Xiaochuan in the kitchen. They didn't expect that Chef Song, who seemed so honest on the surface, would actually pursue a girl so shamelessly!
A fragrant aroma soon wafted from the kitchen, and Song Xiaochuan patiently taught his two apprentices the steps: "You must master the timing, add the big ones first and then the medium ones, and the order of adding seasonings cannot be changed. When to add salt will affect the taste of the dish."
In fact, the two apprentices Song Xiaochuan were about the same age, but they listened very carefully. They had worked as apprentices in other restaurants before, but they didn't learn anything serious. The chefs simply treated them as cheap labor. Apart from washing vegetables, how could they learn any recipes?
But Song Xiaochuan is different. He never hides his cooking skills and his tone is very gentle and patient when teaching people. It is so lucky to have such a master.
With the help of two apprentices and in a familiar environment, one exquisite dish after another was quickly placed on the table.
Tian Hao also brought a gift when he came, a beautifully wrapped small box.
"It's a gift." He smiled and handed the box to Lin Cuiping: "Open it and see if you like it?"
Lin Cuiping took it in surprise: "You are willing to give me a gift?"
Tian Hao curled his lips: "I've always been generous."
Lin Cuiping opened the box with a chuckle, then her smile faded a little when she saw what was inside: "This is too expensive, I don't want it."
Inside was a golden ladies' watch, which was obviously very expensive at a glance, probably equivalent to her monthly salary.
Tian Hao didn't answer: "Keep it. In Haicheng, besides Brother Chen and Yunshu, you are my best friend."
Lin Cuiping still refused: "But Xie Yunshu wouldn't give me such an expensive gift. If you find a girlfriend in the future, I won't be able to pay you back."
She likes to take advantage of others, but it is limited to small gains. If she accepts such a valuable thing from someone, she must return it. Otherwise, what is she? Even if they are friends, there is no such reason.
Tian Hao's smile remained unchanged: "No, you still can't return it."
"Then I can't take it." Lin Cuiping closed the box directly, and then stuffed it back into Tian Hao's arms, and glanced at Song Xiaochuan who was busy in the kitchen: "Besides, I have nowhere to wear it. Xiaochuan said he would give me a gold bracelet next month, but I still prefer a big gold bracelet."
The watch might not be cheaper than a gold bracelet, but she didn't like it.
