Li Huaide had always wanted to replace Ah Dai, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate. Although there were many chefs in Beijing who were better than Ah Dai, they all thought the salary in the factory was too low and were unwilling to come. After all, the highest salary of a chef in a steel mill was only a level 6 worker, which was completely incomparable to the salary of a senior chef in a hotel outside.

Wang Kun couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Ah Dai was deceived by his old friend He Zhonghai to come here to work? If so, he could definitely earn more in a small restaurant with his skills. Even if he had the opportunity to work in a famous hotel, his skills would definitely improve greatly. But now, he was already satisfied with a salary of only 35 yuan a month.

On the other hand, his brother Tian Youfu, who lives in the same courtyard, can only earn more than 40 yuan a month. Who is worse off than A-Dai?

"Thank you for your reminder, Director. I will notify Ah Dai immediately."

As soon as he put down the phone, Wang Kun picked up the letter of complaint on the table. This letter was different from the usual ones. It was not anonymous, but written by Liu Xiaoxia. Liu Xiaoxia reported that Ah Dai had ruined her reputation, causing her to not find a suitable partner until now.

It really serves him right! Ah Dai's words "Zhu Bajie's cousin" are indeed quite powerful.

Wu Zhiguo, who was watching over Ah Dai, whispered, "Section Chief, it is said that no matchmaker is willing to introduce a date to Liu Xiaoxia now."

Wang Kun chuckled, "This is good news. Let's go and give Ah Dai the good news."

Wang Kun walked into the room and saw Ah Dai with a sullen face, obviously very dissatisfied with his appearance.

"How is it, have you reflected on it?"

As soon as Ah Dai saw Wang Kun, he angrily cursed: "Wang Kun, you ** villain, you are worse than I thought. Just wait, I will make you pay when I get out!"

Wang Kun curled his lips, "Go out? You can't even eat now, I'm afraid you can't go out. The people in the cafeteria thought you had eaten and didn't leave any food for you. If you're hungry, you can pay for it yourself, and I'll send someone to buy you some food outside."

Ah Dai was stunned after hearing this. He was used to eating in the cafeteria. If he didn't have this meal, he would probably starve. Although he cared about his reputation, he didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

The stomach gurgled, making the atmosphere even more awkward. Wang Kun and Wu Zhiguo couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zhiguo asked, "Ah Dai, you cook for the workers every day, don't you take the leftovers back? Why do you live such a miserable life?"

Ah Dai lowered his head, speechless with shame. It was really shameful that he could still starve in such a factory. But he

Chen Li blinked his eyes and was speechless for a moment. Li Hua's wallet has been much emptier recently, and the reason is that he helped Xiao Zhao, his neighbor in the courtyard, solve many problems. However, Li Hua's money is not inexhaustible.

"Li Hua deserved what he did. He used the money of the people in the courtyard to win Xiao Zhao's favor. There is no such thing in the world."

"Li Dake is a kind-hearted person. He can't bear to see Xiao Zhao living a hard life."

"If Li Da really cares about Xiao Zhao, why doesn't he just help? Li Hua is an eighth-level craftsman with a monthly salary of nearly 100 yuan. With his ability, it would be easy for him to help Xiao Zhao."

"But it's not easy for Li Da. Although his income is high, his expenses are also high. Li Da's wife is not in good health and she has spent a lot of money on medical treatment."

Wang Kun asked with a look of disdain: "I haven't been here long, so I don't know the inside story like you do. But what I want to say is, you said that Li's wife is weak and needs to take medicine, so what disease does she have? Has anyone of you seen her take medicine?"

This question was like a cold shower on his head, and Chen Li was stunned. His memories of Li's wife were indeed limited to some common colds and fevers. He had never really paid attention to her specific illness, nor had he seen her take medicine.

Chen Li couldn't help but feel a little guilty. When he was a child, Li Da did take good care of him. Why didn't he care about her more?

"Even if it's true that Li Da has plenty of money as you said, he can't be the only one to bear Xiao Zhao's difficulties, right? We all live in the same courtyard, and it's only natural for us to support each other. You can't be too selfish. Your cold attitude will make the old man dislike you."

Wang Kun shook his head again, his tone becoming more resolute: "You also said that Xiao Zhao's family is in trouble. But can you be more specific about where the difficulties are?"

Chen Li hesitated and couldn't tell the specific dilemma.

"You send leftovers to her family every day, and even your own sister suffers as a result. Last month, when He Yu returned to his hometown, he asked for help from everyone in the courtyard, but no one was willing to give him a small corn tortilla. Your respected Li Da and Xiao Zhao, as well as the old lady, hid in the house to enjoy the delicious food, but did not even let He Yu in the door. If Liao Xiao'e had not been kind-hearted and invited your own sister to my house, she might have starved like you."

Chen Li felt that his worldview had been completely overturned. He slapped his face hard and tried to wake up. He thought He Yu would be able to eat when he arrived at the Li family's house. He never thought that among so many people, no one was willing to help.

"You're talking nonsense! Li Da, Xiao Zhao and the old lady couldn't have done that! They had already finished their meals and had nothing left, so they didn't give He Yu anything."

Wang Kun stared at Chen Li's eyes and said, "Xiao Zhao always starts eating after seeing your food. Tell me again, when did He Yu come home? Even if they have finished eating, there must be some food at home. Just give her some, she won't starve."

Facing Wang Kun's sharp questioning, Chen Li opened his mouth but could not find an excuse to refute. Although his house was completely robbed by the thief, it was unlikely that Li Da and Xiao Zhao's house would be empty by such a coincidence. How could there be so many coincidences in the world?

If Xiao Zhao was present at this time, Wang Kun would not have said this to Chen Li. A single look from Xiao Zhao could make Chen Li lose his mind.

Wang Kun did not expect Chen Li to wake up completely and stop being fooled by Li Hua. Unless Chen Li could stay away from Li Hua, Xiao Zhao, and the hard-of-hearing old lady, he would be trapped in pain forever.

"You always say that Xiao Zhao's family is in trouble. With your food, Xiao Zhao's family can save a dinner. Tell me more, what exactly is Xiao Zhao's family in trouble for."

Chen Li answered subconsciously: "Xiao Zhao's salary is not enough."

"Is her salary not enough? Twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents a month, and she doesn't have to worry about dinner, how can it be not enough?" Wang Kun asked back.

"When Xiao Zhao talks about difficulties, she says her family is out of money. Whenever this happens, I lend her money. If I have no money, Li Hua will lend it to me, and then lend it to Xiao Zhao."

"I give you twenty or thirty dollars a month. Even if we calculate it as twenty dollars, plus her original income, she can get forty-seven and a half dollars a month. For a family of five, that's nine and a half dollars per person. Isn't this money enough?"
