In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

As he spoke, Director Liu folded his hands over his chest and stared at Wang Jianguo, his eyes revealing a bit of the intimacy and teasing that only old friends could have.

When Wang Jianguo heard what Director Liu said, the smile on his face froze for a moment, his body stiffened unconsciously, and a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

However, he was a smart man after all. After just a moment, he came back to his senses, smiled again, and nodded and said:

"Director Liu, don't worry. This is all my fault. I will definitely drink a few more glasses and apologize to you. You are a magnanimous person, so please don't hold it against me."

After saying that, Wang Jianguo quickly turned around and looked at Zhao Shuzhuo beside him, with a look of urgency and entrustment in his eyes, and said:

"Brother Zhao, please chat with Director Song and Director Liu for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to help Brother Cheng Hai."

"You have to take care of the two leaders. If you need anything, just let me know."

As he spoke, he gently patted Zhao Shuzhuo on the shoulder, as if to convey a sense of trust and encouragement to him.

Zhao Shuzhuo understood, nodded slightly, stepped forward and said:

"Jianguo, don't worry, I'm here."

Wang Jianguo looked at him gratefully, then walked quickly towards He Yushui, his steps hurried, as if something important was waiting for him to deal with.

Wang Jianguo dodged the busy crowd and came to He Yushui in a hurry.

At this time, He Yushui was standing behind the counter, counting the bills quickly with her slender fingers and her brows slightly furrowed.

Her eyes were focused and serious, and a few strands of hair fell from her bun, swaying gently beside her cheeks.

Wang Jianguo gently pulled on the corner of He Yushui's clothes, and when she raised her head, he signaled her with his eyes to follow him to the side.

The two walked to a relatively quiet corner where some empty cardboard boxes were piled up. Wang Jianguo first looked back cautiously to make sure no one noticed them.

Then he approached He Yushui, with a look of anxiety and helplessness on his face, and said in a low voice:

"Yushui, something happened today, and I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid you will have to work hard this time."

He Yushui rarely saw Wang Jianguo looking so serious and a little embarrassed, and her heart suddenly tightened.

He quickly placed the account book and pen in his hand on the cardboard box next to him, and rubbed his hands nervously in front of him.

His eyes were wide open, full of doubt and concern, and he asked anxiously:

"Brother Jianguo, what's going on? Look at your expression. Did something bad happen?"

Wang Jianguo cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"That's what happened. Look, Director Song and Director Liu came all the way here today to support the opening of our supply and marketing cooperative. This should be a happy thing."

"But who would have thought that Director Liu would come here without making any announcement? I just had a few words with Director Liu."

"From what he said, it seems like he's planning to stay here for lunch. We never thought about it before, and we're not prepared at all."

"This worries me a lot. So, Yushui, could you please help me prepare lunch?"

"You are a good cook, could you please prepare a delicious meal for us? We cannot afford to offend Director Liu."

"As you know, we plan to build a brick house after the Chinese New Year, and we will definitely have to buy bricks from the brick factory."

"If we can satisfy Director Liu this time, our future cooperation with the brick factory will be much smoother, don't you think?"

As Wang Jianguo spoke, he looked at He Yushui with expectant eyes, his hands tightly clasped together, as if waiting for a crucial decision.

When He Yushui heard Wang Jianguo's request, his slightly nervous expression instantly relaxed and a bright and relaxed smile spread across his face.

That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling the slight uneasiness that had just arisen from Wang Jianguo's serious attitude.

She raised her hand slightly, patted her chest lightly, and said with a smile:

"Oh, Brother Jianguo, look at you. You looked so serious just now. I was really scared."

"I'm still wondering what could have happened to make you so worried."

"In the end, it's just cooking a table of dishes. It's not a difficult task for me."

"Although I am not as good as my brother He Yuzhu in cooking, but given today's situation, it is more than enough to entertain Director Liu and Director Song."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

When Wang Jianguo heard He Yushui's confident answer, his tense nerves finally relaxed.

He took a deep breath, as if to let go of all his worries, then he let out a long sigh, a relieved smile on his face, and nodded involuntarily.

But he was still worried, and after thinking for a while, he said to He Yushui:

"Yushui, we have to prepare this meal more carefully. Look, there are chickens frozen in the tank outside our house that I brought back from hunting last time."

"That chicken is really plump and tender. You can take it out and thaw it later. Then you can make braised chicken or chicken stewed with mushrooms. It will definitely be popular."

"Then, go ask Brother Cheng Hai. He's familiar with the people in the village. See if anyone has fresh fish. Buy two and steam or braise them. It's a must-have dish."

"Also, I remember the supply and marketing cooperative warehouse bought some black fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots last time. They are all good things. You can use them together to make some refreshing side dishes."

"By the way, Director Liu seems to like sweet food. Can you see if you can make a dessert like candied sweet potato..."

As Wang Jianguo spoke, he gestured with his hands, and various delicious dishes kept appearing in his mind.

We tried to arrange the banquet to perfection so that Director Liu and Director Song would be satisfied with the meal and lay a good foundation for future cooperation.

Wang Jianguo continued to talk to himself, muttering the cooking details and precautions of various dishes.

He frowned slightly, his eyes full of importance for the banquet and a hint of barely perceptible anxiety.

He was intent on explaining every link clearly, fearing that any key points would be missed and affect the reception of Director Liu and Director Song.
