Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Wang Qiang shook his head and forced himself to calm down. "No need. I can still hold on."

The colleague looked at Wang Qiang, nodded slightly puzzled, then turned and left.

Wang Qiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt like he was struggling in a dream, wanting to wake up but unable to.

He picked up his phone, opened the chat window, and started typing. His fingers gently touched the keyboard, and each letter seemed to be the cry of his heart, hoping to express his true feelings.

However, after he wrote a few words, he hesitated again. He felt that his words were too blunt and could not truly express his inner thoughts. He needed time, time to think, time to release the troubles and struggles in his heart.

Wang Qiang felt the inner struggle, but at the same time he also understood that now was his chance to express his true thoughts. He decided to face it bravely and not to avoid it anymore.

Slowly, he picked up his phone again and opened the chat window. His fingers danced lightly on the keyboard, and each letter represented his inner struggle and determination.

“Master, I have been thinking about what you said,” he began. “I know you have high expectations of me, but I also have my own thoughts and confusions. I am not sure if I should stay in this restaurant.”

After writing these words, Wang Qiang felt relieved, as if the pressure in his chest had been slightly relieved. He continued, "I like cooking, but I also feel that I still have a lot to learn and improve. I don't know whether I should stay here or look for other opportunities."

While writing these words, Wang Qiang's mood gradually calmed down, and he began to feel a sense of relief and liberation. He knew that only by bravely facing his heart could he find the true direction and answer.

However, just as he was about to send the message, his fingers stopped on the keyboard. He hesitated and began to rethink whether his words were appropriate. He felt that he might need more time to think and decide.

Wang Qiang realized that even though he had doubts in his heart, the most important thing at the moment was to complete the task at hand. So he temporarily put aside his inner troubles and focused on helping He Yuzhu prepare dinner.

"Master, what dish do you want to cook?" Wang Qiang asked, trying to divert his attention to He Yuzhu's needs.

He Yuzhu raised his head and looked at Wang Qiang with a smile, "Would you like to try some new dishes? We can create a special dish together."

Wang Qiang nodded, and the trouble in his heart seemed to be temporarily relieved. He liked working with He Yuzhu, because in his eyes, He Yuzhu was not only a mentor, but also a friend and mentor.

The two began to cooperate tacitly in the kitchen. Wang Qiang handled the ingredients, cutting and washing them skillfully, while He Yuzhu guided him from the side and constantly made suggestions and recommendations for improvement.

"Wang Qiang, you can try using this spice to enhance the flavor." He Yuzhu handed over a small bag of spices and said with a smile.

Wang Qiang took the spices and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He knew that He Yuzhu really wanted to help him grow, not just ask him to cook for him. This tacit understanding and trust made Wang Qiang feel sincerely grateful.

Under the guidance of He Yuzhu, Wang Qiang constantly tried new dishes and explored different cooking techniques and flavor combinations. He felt his own growth and progress, and also experienced the fun and charm of cooking.

Wang Qiang and Yi Zhonghai have been friends for many years, and they have a deep friendship and tacit understanding. When Wang Qiang has some troubles and struggles in his heart, he is always willing to share his feelings and thoughts with Yi Zhonghai.

After finding a suitable time, Wang Qiang and Yi Zhonghai sat together and began to talk about recent events.

"Zhonghai, I've been a little hesitant recently." Wang Qiang said straight to the point. He felt that sharing his troubles with his friends might help him get some inspiration and suggestions.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Qiang and smiled slightly, "What is making you hesitant?"

Wang Qiang paused, thinking about how to express his inner thoughts, "I have been working in the restaurant for a while. I like cooking, but recently I began to feel a little confused. I am not sure if I should stay in this restaurant."

Yi Zhonghai listened quietly. He knew that Wang Qiang was a man with aspirations and his inner world was not as simple as it seemed. He gently patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Wang Qiang, everyone will be confused and hesitant at times, but the important thing is to stick to your beliefs and find a path that is truly suitable for you. You must believe in your abilities and bravely pursue your dreams."

Wang Qiang felt a little comforted and encouraged after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said. He knew that the support and encouragement from his good friend meant a lot to him, which made him feel that he was not alone and that he had someone to talk to and rely on.

"Thank you, Zhonghai. I will think about it carefully." Wang Qiang said with a smile, and his mind gradually became clear.

Wang Qiang was suspicious and sat in a quiet corner, thinking. He found it hard to accept that he was betrayed by Xu Damao. He thought Xu Damao was his friend, but now he found that he was not only merciless to him, but also betrayed him behind his back.

He closed his eyes, trying to suppress the anger and disappointment in his heart. He felt as if he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't get out. He tried to think about how to deal with this sudden situation.

"Master Wang, are you okay?" a colleague came over and asked with concern.

Wang Qiangqiang put on a fake smile and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

However, the inner irritability and uneasiness could not be concealed. He felt that the pain of being betrayed made it difficult for him to calm down, and he could not easily forget it all.

In the dead of night, Wang Qiang sat alone in the kitchen, feeling heavy-hearted. He felt as if he was in darkness and couldn't find a way forward. He didn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him. He felt that he was trapped in a quagmire from which it was difficult to escape.

"I can't just sit there and do nothing." Wang Qiang made up his mind secretly. Although he felt painful and helpless, he knew he had to face the reality bravely and find a solution to the problem.

Wang Qiang decided to focus on his work, and even though he was in pain and struggle, he was determined not to let these emotions affect his performance. He began to work harder and constantly improve his cooking skills.
