Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 1143 Thinking Too Much
Is this the always serious Director Li who can, by himself, overwhelm several deputy directors and a group of lackeys so that they dare not confront him head-on and can only use underhanded tactics?

Also, Master Zhang, you are out of reach?
What about your image as an intellectual?
At this time, shouldn't you show your disdain for these gossips?
What do you look like now?
What made you the gossipy person you are today?
Good guy, he turned around and looked at the others, this one, two, three... they were all urging him to continue with their eyes.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Secretary Lin felt that his filter was broken.

After a while, Secretary Lin finally found his voice.

He said somewhat unrealistically: "After Master Wu was thrown out, he was rescued by a girl who followed her parents around performing acrobatics.

When the girl saw that Master Wu had handsome features and outstanding looks, she fell in love with him while he was recovering from his injuries.

The girl's parents found out but didn't try to stop her. It was mainly because they had no fixed place to live and were performing acrobatics everywhere that their daughter became a problem.

It was rare for a girl to fall in love with a man, so after testing Master Wu's opinion, the girl's parents married their daughter to Master Wu.

After Master Wu got married, he seemed to have found the faith to live again. After continuous efforts to recover, although his skills were not fully restored, they were recovered to about 70% to 80%.

But later, he wanted to continue staying in that sad place, so he followed his wife back to his hometown.

As for the restaurant, I heard that the owner's son was seduced and fell in love with D. In the end, D got angry and moved everything in the house to D's table, including the restaurant.

After the restaurant fell into the hands of Field D, it went through several rounds and was finally turned into a shop. As for the chefs and apprentices who originally worked in the restaurant, the restaurant was gone, and naturally they were out of work.

Although the chef had good skills, he was not young anymore. When he was working in the restaurant, most of the work was given to apprentices. He would occasionally cook a few dishes for regular customers or the host, and was basically idle at other times.

But after the restaurant was closed, he no longer had such a good life. He was unwilling to go to small restaurants because they could not afford to support a big shot like him.

As for the big restaurants, the chef in charge of the kitchen may not be worse than him, and he has been established there for many years. The helpers in the kitchen are either apprentices or relatives. At the very least, they have known each other for many years. How could an outsider like him easily get in?

He finally found a job with less demanding requirements, but he felt tired and wanted to bring his original apprentice in to help. After being rejected, he left in anger.

It was okay in the beginning. After all, the kitchen was a lucrative place. He had been in charge of the kitchen for so many years and had saved a lot of money.

If it were an ordinary family, these savings would be enough for one or two generations to live a good life.

But his family had been accustomed to living a lavish life, so how could they go back to living a frugal life?

Their lives are already hard enough, if they are any more frugal, they won't be able to survive.

Later, his savings were exhausted, and his son was unwilling to go out to find a job, so the old master could only open a noodle shop to make a living.

Hearing this, the young technician finally smiled.

However, others present did not quite believe it and suspected that he was trying to comfort the young technician.

Seeing what everyone wanted to express in their eyes, Secretary Lin shook his head to indicate that he was not lying.

"It's quite strange. I've been working in the factory for seven or eight years, but why have I never met Master Wu's wife?" The second-in-command of the technical department asked with some confusion after taking a bite of fish.

"Ah!" Secretary Lin sighed, and then said, "Master Wu's wife had an accident during childbirth. She was saved, but she was paralyzed in bed. Master Wu was also very affectionate. For so many years, in addition to taking care of his son, he was devoted to taking care of his paralyzed wife in bed, and he never had any other thoughts."

"Son, Master Wu has a son?" The second-in-command of the technical department was even more surprised.

Secretary Lin said with a sad face, "He's gone. It's like saying that a rope breaks only when it's thin, and misfortune only favors the unfortunate. Master Wu's son was only two or three years old, and he could run and jump, but when he went out to buy something, he was snatched away by human traffickers."

"Human traffickers are not human beings!" As soon as they heard the word "human traffickers", everyone present started cursing.

"Damn human traffickers!"

"..."

Thinking of the hateful human traffickers, Zhang Yu couldn't help but curse them as well.

Secretary Lin waited until everyone had finished scolding him, and then he continued, "After his son was lost, Master Wu searched for him for several years, but in the end, he had to give up the search in order to take care of his wife. Over the years, some people have advised him to find another one, saying that he has done his best and should have another child. After all, someone will have to take care of him in his old age.

However, Master Wu refused everyone and said that his wife gave him a second life and that he only had this one wife in this life.

Later, he took a distant nephew of his wife as his apprentice, and this is the one he is now. "

After saying that, Secretary Lin pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"You mean loyal! He is also studious. He never forgets to study even when he is working. I often see him holding a book and asking the old masters in the factory for advice."

The second-in-command of the technical department has a deep memory of the young man who often came to the department to ask questions.

Secretary Lin was slightly stunned: "Really? I haven't really noticed this, but it's good to love learning!"

Just when everyone wanted to continue saying something, there was a knock on the door. The person who was the topic just now was standing at the door with a kettle in one hand and a few cups in the other.

I don’t know if he heard what I just said.

As soon as the other party entered the room, he smiled and said, "My master asked me to bring a pot of hot water to the leaders."

"Give it to me, please."

Secretary Lin took the kettle and cups from him, poured a cup of tea for everyone at the table, and then said, "Master Wu is very thoughtful. I hadn't thought about this."

I don’t know if it was Zhang Yu’s illusion, but when Secretary Lin took the water from the other party, he seemed to see some disappointment on the face of Master Wu’s apprentice.

Zhang Yu shook his head, thinking that he was overthinking and doubting everything.

Director Li is here. The other party came over to bring water attentively. He must have wanted the factory leaders to pay more attention to him. However, he was intercepted by Secretary Lin. It was inevitable that he was a little disappointed.

Why does he always think so much?
Recently he has been thinking a lot, wondering where there are so many bad people in this world and why he has to run into them all.

After convincing himself, Zhang Yu drank some tea to calm himself down.
