What if I haven't seen Siheyuan?

Chapter 17 The reception banquet

Soon, the line reached Yan Xiaoyao and Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu was unhappy and said to Yan Xiaoyao in a bad mood, "What do you want to eat? Hurry up, there are many people waiting behind us!"

When Yan Xiaoyao saw his expression, he knew that he must be jealous because he saw him talking to Qin Huairu just now, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

He glanced at the food placed in front of him and said slowly, "Give me two steamed buns made of two-grain flour and two side dishes." He picked up the food box and turned to leave.

Then, Sha Zhu immediately put on a smiling face and asked Qin Huairu eagerly: "Sister Qin, what do you want to eat for lunch today?"

Qin Huairu responded softly: "Give me one shredded potato and two steamed buns."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he quickly packed a full lunch box of shredded potatoes for her and carefully selected two big steamed buns. When he handed them to Qin Huairu, he deliberately touched her fingers.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him, then quickly followed Yan Xiaoyao's figure.

Sha Zhu, however, had a silly smile on his face, as if he had gained a great advantage. His eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled, and he kept muttering, "Sister Qin, take care."

Yan Xiaoyao had just sat down and looked at the food in the lunch box. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the food was really too bad. There was indeed a material shortage in those days.

I was thinking to myself: The food in this factory is too simple. It is very different from what I imagined. It seems that I have to find a way to improve the food in the future.

Qin Huairu sat down next to him and said with a smile on her face, "Xiaoyao, is this enough? I still have some shredded potatoes. Shazhu gave me too much. I can't finish it. How about you try some too?"

He had his own plan in mind: Yan Xiaoyao has a high salary, so he should get along well with him so that he can help him if he has any difficulties in the future.

Yan Xiaoyao politely replied: "Thank you, no, this is enough for me."

Haha, it seems that this white lotus has taken the bait!

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard Xu Damao's voice: "Hey, Yan Xiaoyao, why are you also in the factory and having dinner with Qin Huairu?" There was a hint of doubt in his curious tone.

Qin Huairu hurriedly explained to Xu Damao: "Yan Xiaoyao is a new doctor in our factory. He has a high salary. We just happened to meet him in the cafeteria." But she was a little nervous, fearing that Xu Damao would say something bad and ruin her image in front of Yan Xiaoyao.

When Xu Damao heard this, a trace of disdain appeared on his face and he snorted.

He thought to himself that Qin Huairu must have set her sights on Yan Xiaoyao again. He had spent so much money but got nothing in return.

Then he thought that Yan Xiaoyao was just a factory doctor who couldn't help him in any way, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and just buried his head in eating.

Seeing Xu Damao's attitude, Qin Huairu no longer wanted to be attentive to him and just lowered her head to eat her meal in silence.

In his heart, he cursed Xu Damao for being tactless and ruining his good fortune, but he didn't dare to get angry.

Yan Xiaoyao glanced at Xu Damao without saying anything and continued eating the food in his lunch box.

I was thinking in my mind: after I sort out the renovation matters at the factory and at home during this period of time, I will invite him to my house for a drink under the pretext that my house has just been renovated. After getting him drunk, I will find a way to build a relationship with Lou Xiao'e.

After finishing their meal, each person went back home to look for their own mother.

Yan Xiaoyao returned to the infirmary and his eyes fell on the rest room inside.

He frowned slightly, thinking to himself: "I have to bring a bed and quilt tomorrow, so that I can lie down and rest for a while when I have nothing to do in the future."

Then, he started to boil some water and poured himself a cup, with steam rising up. Yan Xiaoyao held the cup, leaned back in his chair, and picked up a medical book from the infirmary.

He gently turned the pages of the book, thinking to himself: "I'm free anyway, so I might as well read a book to kill time." The afternoon sun shone on him through the window, forming spots of light. Yan Xiaoyao immersed himself in the world of books, temporarily forgetting the troubles of the outside world.

When it was almost time to get off work, the sun shone into the clinic obliquely, and the light and shadows in the room gradually lengthened. At this time, Li Youde walked into the clinic in a hurry with a warm smile on his face.

"Xiao Yan, don't be in a hurry to leave work. Wait a moment. Director Yang, some factory leaders and I will prepare a welcome banquet for you in the first cafeteria." Li Youde said as he patted Yan Xiaoyao's shoulder.

Yan Xiaoyao put down the medical book in his hand, stood up and said, "Director Li, I am embarrassed to say this. I am really troubling all the leaders."

Li Youde waved his hand: "It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble. You are the treasure of our factory, and this welcoming banquet is just what you deserve. Get ready, and we'll go together later." After that, Li Youde hurriedly left the infirmary to arrange other matters for the welcoming banquet.

Yan Xiaoyao stood there, feeling both surprised and flattered, while also thinking about how to perform at the welcoming banquet.

When Sha Zhu received a notice from the canteen director in the afternoon about the special meals that would be served in the evening, he was so happy that he started preparing dishes in the kitchen swiftly.

While cutting vegetables, he fantasized happily: "I can bring back some juicy vegetables tonight. When Sister Qin sees them, she will definitely talk to me and say something nice. Hehe, it's wonderful just thinking about it." He couldn't help but grinning, his eyes shining with excitement.

Just when Sha Zhu was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, Xu Damao ran in happily. He deliberately wandered in front of Sha Zhu, and the smug look on his face was particularly dazzling.

"Shazhu, look at how busy you are. What's there to be happy about?" Xu Damao said proudly, and deliberately puffed out his chest.

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "What does it have to do with you? Stop being an eyesore."

Xu Damao was not relenting and continued to show off: "Humph, I have something good to do today. I'm not like you, who only knows how to mess around in this shabby cafeteria."

Sha Zhu stopped what he was doing, clenched his fists, and glared at him: "What good can you do? Stop bragging here."

Seeing this, Xu Damao became even more proud: "It's none of your business. Anyway, I'm better than you." After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Sha Zhu standing there stamping his feet in anger.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yan Xiaoyao tidied his clothes and went to Li Youde's office.

He knocked on the door gently, and after hearing the voice of "come in" from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in. Li Youde was sitting at his desk, and when he saw Yan Xiaoyao, he stood up with a smile and asked him to sit down.

The two of them lit a cigarette each and chatted for a while. In the smoke, Li Youde briefly introduced some details of the welcoming banquet tonight to Yan Xiaoyao.

After chatting for a while, Li Youde stood up and said, "Let's go." Yan Xiaoyao followed Li Youde and walked into the private room of the reception hall of the first cafeteria, chatting and laughing with a group of leaders.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Damao who was already waiting there. Xu Damao had an expectant expression on his face, but when he saw Yan Xiaoyao walking in with a group of leaders chatting and laughing, he was a little confused.

He stared with his eyes wide open and his mouth open. He didn't react for a long time, and muttered to himself: "How come Yan Xiaoyao is so familiar with the leaders?"
