Su He breathed a sigh of relief after they left.
She felt sorry for Jiang Cheng, being entangled with such a person, and wondered if he would ever be able to get rid of him.
However, she wasn't in the mood to sympathize with others, as long as it didn't affect her.
In the following days, Jiang Cheng kept taking leave, while Shen Ziyan simply skipped work, and of course, no one cared about her.
Meanwhile, Su He was on holiday again. Before the holiday, Aunt Xu told her about the blind date she would be going on when she returned, and asked her to tell Grandma Su.
In addition, I told her something else, which was related to Chef Zheng.
In fact, ever since Dong Fang left, there has been one vacancy in the kitchen, which is the apprentice who works alongside the head chef.
Logically, this position should have always been reserved for the head chef's apprentices, so under normal circumstances, the choice of this person should be made by Chef Zheng.
Moreover, in this era, the master-apprentice relationship was highly valued. Apprentices were generally the successors of their masters. In addition, the learning process for cooking was long, and it would take several years to become a master. Therefore, most companies would not force people to join their master's program.
Chef Zheng has been working in the cafeteria for some time now, but he hasn't seen his apprentice yet. With such a vacant position, it's hard for the other people at the police station not to have any ideas.
Then someone went to ask Chef Zheng.
Only then did I realize that there were requirements to becoming his apprentice: one had to marry his daughter and become a live-in son-in-law of the Zheng family to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
If that's all there is to it, then this requirement is actually quite acceptable.
But the key issue is that Chef Zheng's daughter is mute and considered disabled. Many city people would be unwilling to marry a disabled man and become his live-in son-in-law just for a job.
Moreover, I heard that Chef Zheng actually had an apprentice before, whom he had taken in since he was thirteen or fourteen years old. They were very close, and it was agreed that he would marry her daughter and take care of her in her old age.
But after only a few years, the family changed their minds. Seeing that their son had become a chef and could work independently after completing his studies, they no longer wanted him to become a live-in son-in-law.
The apprentice himself probably wasn't too willing, so after completing his apprenticeship, he turned around and climbed up to someone else, kicking Chef Zheng aside and wasting all of Chef Zheng's efforts over the past few years.
I won't go into how disappointed and heartbroken Chef Zheng was, but I heard that this is why he changed jobs and came to their police station.
But he only had one daughter, and he couldn't bear to let her get married, so he had to find a suitable apprentice to be his son-in-law.
However, after the last time, Chef Zheng decided to conduct a thorough investigation before selecting a candidate. To prevent the candidate from backing out, he would also have to sign a contract with the man's family and get married first before he could give him the apprenticeship and teach him culinary skills.
It was this condition he proposed that made many people back down.
Of course, some people also told their relatives in the countryside that it was already good enough for rural people to have the opportunity to go to the city. Besides, even if they had to marry a mute woman, it would be like getting a wife for free. Moreover, they would also get a job, so quite a few people were willing to do so.
The reason Aunt Xu told her this was because she knew that her family was also from the countryside, and she wanted to ask if she was interested. If she was, she could mention it to Chef Zheng.
After hearing the news, Su He frowned and thought about it. It was indeed a rare job opportunity, but the premise was that the family would have to give up a boy. She guessed that her brothers would not be willing to do so.
But this is just her idea; she should go back and ask her before making a decision.
So he said gratefully to Aunt Xu, "Thank you for telling me this. I need to go back and ask my family what they think."
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "No need to thank me. You'll find out about this sooner or later. But your family should make a decision as soon as possible. Although Chef Zheng has high standards, there are quite a few people interested. Your Aunt Qin's hometown might also have that idea."
However, in the end, Chef Zheng made the decision. Although the conditions were demanding, Chef Zheng was a good person, and he only had one daughter. Being his son-in-law wouldn't be a bad deal; after all, everything he owned would end up being theirs anyway.
Su He nodded in agreement, intending to go back and have a proper talk with Grandma Su.
