Siheyuan: Separate from the beginning and live with my sister

There was a sudden burst of applause behind He Lin, followed by Li Huaide's voice.

"Brother He is truly a genius. If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that you are also a master chef. Today is a dinner to celebrate your promotion, or else I would have asked you to cook the whole dish to satisfy your craving."

"Brother Li, if you want to eat, it's already prepared. When I come back, I'll come over and make a feast for you and Sister Lu."

"Then I'll be waiting. When the time comes, you can bring your girlfriend Xiaoxue over, and our two families can have a good chat."

Logically speaking, He Lin's rank is higher than Li Huaide's now, so he shouldn't make cooking jokes with He Lin. However, the two have known each other for a long time and know each other's personalities and tempers, so there is no estrangement between them because of the factory director's job.

"That's no problem at all. Xiaoxue is on summer vacation recently, so she has nothing to do at home. We will come to bother you again in a couple of days."

"Brother He is just being polite. We are so close that there is no need to bother you. Just treat this as your own home and come whenever you want."

"And Shazhu, you have to remember Director He's teachings carefully. When Director He goes to the bicycle factory, he won't have the chance to give you advice anymore. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, I have been listening carefully. What Director He said is indeed professional. I used to be optimistic and thought it was just a matter of luck, but today I am really convinced. Director He's cooking skills are really amazing."

"Alright, Brother He is great in many ways, so what does his cooking skill count for?"

"You are still on salary reduction, right? Tomorrow you write a letter of repentance and submit it to the logistics department. I will ask them to review it. For the sake of Director He, I will restore your salary."

Sha Zhu was so grateful that he almost bowed to He Lin on the spot. He Lin just smiled and said nothing, without making any comment.

At their level, it was just a matter of speaking for the next employee. Li Huaide said this just to do him a small favor, which was harmless and not significant, so there was no need for him to show any appreciation.

"Old Yang will be late because he is out for a meeting. Director Lou and Zhang Wenshan are already here. Shall we go together?"

"Okay, I have to have a good drink with Brother Li tonight."

He Lin joked with Li Huaide as usual, and his attitude did not change at all because of the promotion, which touched Li again.

This brother is worth it.

Inside the private room, Lou Bancheng had already taken his seat, and next to him sat the graceful Lou Xiaoe, who had put on some light makeup and looked obviously dressed up carefully.

When Lou Bancheng saw He Lin and Li Huaide come in, he immediately stood up and greeted He Lin.

"Uncle Lou, long time no see. You look so radiant. It seems something good has happened to you recently."

"Director He, what are you talking about? The best thing that happened to me was hearing about Director He's promotion. This is what it means to be a hero at a young age."

"I call you Uncle Lou and you call me Director He. This doesn't make sense. You should still treat me as your junior as before and call me Xiao Lin or He Lin."

"Then I won't be polite. Xiaolin, you really impressed Uncle Lou this time. You can make a lot of things out of this bicycle. It's really great. If it were in the past, I would definitely ask you to do it with me..."

Lou Bancheng didn't finish his words, but He Lin knew what he meant. The current era does not allow such a situation to exist. There is no point in saying more, so just face the reality.

The main seat was naturally reserved for Director Yang. He Lin and Lou Bancheng sat on both sides. Li Huaide sat next to Lou Bancheng, while Lou Xiaoe sat next to He Lin without any hesitation.

Well, Zhang Wenshan was left alone and sat at the door of the room.

He was originally called here by He Lin. Although he was promoted to deputy factory director this time, it was all based on He Lin's recommendation. He lacked a lot in both qualifications and abilities, and had no objection to this arrangement.

Director Yang hadn't come over yet, and everyone present started chatting with each other.

Lou Xiao'e hasn't seen He Lin for a while, but she has a good relationship with Yu Li and they are in touch often, so she knows a lot about He Lin's recent situation.

The two of them got close and started talking in low voices.

"I didn't expect you to rise so fast. You've become the factory manager after just a few months of not seeing you."

"I thought you said I was going to turn into a monkey?"

"Ah, haha, that's not what I meant. You are just imagining things."

"That's fine if you mean that. If I were a monkey, the first thing I would do is to steal your food and leave you hungry."

"Hey, there's plenty of food at my house, come over if you want to grab some. But speaking of which, I really miss the cakes you made. The cakes made by chefs at big hotels are not as delicious as yours."

"My birthday is coming up in a few days. Can you make me a birthday cake?"

"what?"

He Lin's train of thought was a little bit confused. Why did he let himself make the cake? It seemed that Lou Xiao'e in this life had not experienced the daily necessities of the Xu family. She still had the mentality of a rich lady. However, this was not a bad thing. She should try not to suffer if she could avoid it.

There is no end to the suffering that one can endure.

"If you don't want to, forget it. I was just saying it casually. Don't take it seriously."

"It's not impossible, but it requires Sister Li's consent. Anyway, you two know each other well, so you can go talk to her. Besides, I'm only free on weekends, so I can't guarantee that I'll be free on your birthday."

"Any day is fine. I'm just craving for food. I can eat anytime. By the way, why do you have to get Sister Li's approval?"

"She's my sister, isn't it normal for me to get her consent before doing anything?"

Of course He Lin couldn't say what was in his mind. You asked me to make a birthday cake, but the hostess disagreed. What if it caused some misunderstandings? He would be unable to explain himself.

"Then don't worry. Sister Li has asked me to go to Siheyuan for dinner several times, but I didn't agree because I was afraid of causing trouble for you. This time I just happened to meet you and I was greedy, so I said it. You won't laugh at me, right?"

After all, Lou Xiao'e is just a young girl under 20 years old. If she were in the future, she would have just started college not long ago. It is normal for her to be greedy and want to eat delicious food.

"I won't laugh at you for being greedy. I will only laugh at you for eating too much, like a pig."

"You, you, can't I just not eat it?"

"Okay, okay, I won't say you look like a pig anymore. In fact, you are a big goose, a white swan goose."

"That's about right. Goose sounds much better than pig."

Lou Bancheng smiled as he watched He Lin and Lou Xiao'e whispering to each other. He was very satisfied. This was also the purpose of why he brought Lou Xiao'e here.

Young and promising, in the prime of life.

And she's not married yet, so isn't this a perfect son-in-law right in front of her?
