Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Lou Xiao'e's pair of almond-shaped eyes smiled like crescent moons. She looked at the slightly drunk Sha Zhu and began to tell a story.

"You don't have to take what happened yesterday to heart, because I believe you are kind by nature and would never do such a wicked thing!"

Sha Zhu nodded in silence, "Indeed, I was thinking about going back to the factory and working hard, so that I can get back everything that belongs to me in the next selection, but... alas, things don't go as I wish. I'm afraid I will never have the hope of promotion in the factory again! Who do you think is responsible for this incident? They are just trying to make things difficult for me!"

These words touched the heart of Bang Geng. I'm sorry, silly dad. You can only blame yourself for offending too many people.

But Lou Xiao'e didn't care about this matter. No matter who did it, it helped her a lot.

"No matter who did it, this incident has already caused irreparable damage to you. What's more, the real murderer behind the scenes has not been caught yet. The rumors in the factory are terrible! Who knows what rumors everyone is spreading behind your back!"

Lou Xiao'e's move was too cruel. As the saying goes, human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. The main idea is to attack the heart of the city first.

Sha Zhu frowned and felt gloomy in his heart.

"Hey... those shrews in our factory, who knows what they are saying about you behind your back!"

Although Sha Zhu was not in the factory, he could imagine how those old ladies would discuss him when they got together.

"Then you will have a hard time running a business in the factory in the future. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The interpersonal relationships in the factory will not work for you at all. They are ruined. People will only recognize you as the cook who once brought discredit to the factory, and will not recognize the good things you usually do."

How could Shazhu not know these words? This is human nature!

Even if you do a thousand or ten thousand good things, as long as you do one wrong thing, you will leave a bad impression in others' minds.

I have a deep understanding of this point.

He has been known as a thief since he was a child. No matter who loses something in the yard, he is the first person to be suspected!

"Dad, the factory leaders don't trust you at all. Didn't you notice? When you didn't go to the kitchen to cook some time ago, the leaders' attitude changed 180 degrees from before. If it were in the past, they would have sent someone to invite you back a long time ago, but this time, not only did they not do that, when you went back to work, they were actually very surprised, as if they wished you wouldn't come to work!"

Banggeng is simply a god's promoter. This is what Lou Xiaoe wanted to say, but she didn't dare to say it directly due to considerations for the relationship, for fear of hurting Shazhu's face.

"They are just killing me. I begged me so many times to cook for them and treat their guests to dinner, but now they don't need me anymore and they just ignore me!"

Bang Geng nodded in agreement, "That's right, Dad. They use people who move forward and not those who move backward. Especially after Director Zhang came, he not only replaced your position, but also gave us a head start! It's outrageous. They simply don't take us seriously!"

These words undoubtedly hit the nail on the head again. Director Zhang was parachuted in by the leader at the top. Not only did he have no experience, but he was also superior to him in everything. No matter what he did, it was wrong. It turned out that he was the boss in the kitchen. No matter whether it was the kitchen helpers picking and washing vegetables or Ma Hua and his apprentices, who dared not listen to him!

But now it’s completely overturned!

Except for Ma Hua who is still loyal to him, everyone else is eager to curry favor with Director Zhang!

Don't listen to anything he says!

This is also the direct reason why Sha Zhu confronts Director Zhang.

He is a person who never admits defeat and never gives in. Good guy, you make me feel uncomfortable, so how can I indulge you? I might as well give myself a vacation.

He originally thought that Director Zhang would take the initiative to invite him back, but unexpectedly, the other party ignored him at all.

This time, Sha Zhu got himself into trouble.

Lou Xiao'e seemed to understand the conversation between the father and the son, "Bang Geng, you are your father's right-hand man no matter where you are. Since you both feel that the factory is not suitable for you to work in, why don't you find another place? As the old saying goes, if you don't want me now, I will find another place to work!"

Lou Xiao'e kept complimenting him like this, and Banggeng's mind became more active.

"Aunt Lou, I understand what you mean. In fact, with my father's skills, we can easily open a shop of our own!"

Lou Xiao'e was shocked. She had really misjudged Banggeng before. She didn't expect that this boy was so ambitious.

It may not be a bad thing for young people to be ambitious, but for her, it is not a good thing.

But if we want to keep Shazhu for now, we still have to rely on Banggeng.

"You are a very clear-headed kid! You see things more clearly than your father! Silly Zhu, you can run a restaurant with your cooking skills. How about you work with me?"

In fact, Sha Zhu had known about Lou Xiao'e's idea for a long time, and he had also thought about it, but he was hindered by the presence of another big shot - Xiao Weiguo.

As for their feelings, he and Xiao Weiguo are not only brothers-in-law. Apart from this relationship, it was Xiao Weiguo who secretly helped him to get married with Qin Huairu. Logically speaking, he ignored Xiao Weiguo and turned to Lou Xiaoe, which was not loyal enough.

But I don’t want to be suppressed by Xiao Weiguo all day long!

Sha Zhu was scratching his head and racking his brains to figure it out, while Bang Geng poured Lou Xiao'e a glass of wine.

"Aunt Lou, actually my uncle-in-law has talked to me about quitting his job and working on his own, but you know my uncle-in-law, he's a typical male chauvinist. As the old saying goes, he has the final say. Just because we're relatives, my mom has to ask for his opinion whenever there's something going on in our family. He doesn't respect my dad at all, and he doesn't even take my dad seriously!"

"Forget about the family matters. Last time at Zui Xiang Lou, their chef Wang actually used tricks to defeat my dad. These two are now complete enemies. If they work together in the future, who will feel good about it?"

"Just because he treated us like this, I don't think I can go to his restaurant!"

Bang Geng spoke the truth and expressed his inner thoughts clearly, detail by detail, which touched Sha Zhu's heart.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e felt that the opportunity had come!

Xiao Weiguo, Xiao Weiguo, let me see what you will do now!

No one else can be my opponent, only you can compete with me.

Isn’t that the fun of it?

"You are a very thoughtful kid. I have seen your father's cooking skills. Tan's cuisine is an official dish left by the government in the early years! We couldn't have eaten it before! Silly Zhu, let's not talk about whether we can go back to the factory for now. Now that things have gotten out of hand, we can't go back even if we are asked. We still have to save our face!"

"Since you can't go back, you have to find another way out! Your wife and children at home are all depending on you for their livelihood. To be honest, my champagne restaurant will open next week. Everything is ready. Now we just need someone who can take charge of the kitchen! This position belongs to you!"

Lou Xiao'e's extremely confident expression has already made Sha Zhu's heart moved.
