Siheyuan, Kaiju replaced He Yuzhu as the chef

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned and looked at him, as if they didn't understand the meaning of his words.

He Yuzhu was stunned at first, then the smile on his face froze, and the events of three years ago suddenly came to his mind.

At that time, in order to appease Lu Qing's mother, Yi Zhonghai deliberately arranged for Lu Qing to learn cooking from him.

But in his heart, he didn't want to accept Lu Qing as his disciple and looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.

Under Yi Zhonghai's persuasion, He Yuzhu reluctantly agreed to let Lu Qing stay with him, but he had already set the boundaries in his mind.

At that time, he told Lu Qing very bluntly: "Lu Qing, I know you want to learn a craft, but I already have two apprentices, so I am not considering taking in new people for the time being. If you are really interested, you can follow me first to see if you have talent. Maybe I can teach you something in the future."

These words were originally intended to make Lu Qing give up, but Lu Qing's mother took them seriously and forced Lu Qing to stay with He Yuzhu to learn skills.

Now, Lu Qing repeated these words word for word in front of everyone, and everyone looked surprised.

If they are not a true master-disciple relationship, then it seems understandable that Lu Qing would choose someone else as his master.

Lu Qing said coldly: "For three years, I have always regarded you as my master, but what about you? You never planned to teach me, right?"

He Yuzhu's expression changed slightly: "Don't talk nonsense! You have followed me for so long, but you can't learn it. Isn't it because you are not smart?"

"I'm stupid?" Lu Qing sneered, "If I were really stupid, would I be able to cook as well as you just by learning?"

He Yuzhu was suddenly speechless.

Lu Qing then questioned: "Since you don't plan to take me as your apprentice, why didn't you tell me earlier? I wasted three years of my life for nothing!"

After hearing this, everyone present nodded.

The way they looked at He Yuzhu also changed: If you don't want to accept a disciple, why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you always let Lu Qing follow you around like a handyman?

He Yuzhu felt that everyone's gazes were becoming increasingly unfriendly, and his heart was in a mess.

He had indeed never really considered Lu Qing his apprentice, but now he was in an awkward situation.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Lu Qing's expression became even colder: "Since you don't recognize me as your disciple, from now on, I will no longer recognize you as my master!"

He Yuzhu's face darkened, and he said in a threatening tone: "Without my help, how can you get into the steel mill? Don't you want this job anymore?"

Lu Qing responded calmly: "There is always a way out. If I leave here, I may not be able to find a better opportunity."

Now he is not only proficient in cooking, but also has learned some medical skills. No matter which path he chooses in the future, it will not be difficult to find a good job.

As for He Yuzhu, if he loses his cooking skills, he doesn’t know how he will survive in the future.

He Yuzhu snorted coldly: "Okay, I want to see how good a job you can find."

At this moment, Director Li walked through the crowd, approached Lu Qing and said, "Xiao Lu, the dish you cooked yesterday was recognized by the leader. We decided to hire you as the chef of the cafeteria."

As soon as Director Li finished speaking, everyone started talking and the scene suddenly became lively.

At first, everyone felt that what Lu Qing did was immoral and betrayed basic loyalty, and some even thought that he would soon be fired from the steel mill.

However, after the conversation just now, everyone gradually understood the truth of the matter.

The problem was not that Lu Qing secretly found another master to learn skills, but He Yuzhu's improper behavior, delaying Lu Qing for three whole years with false promises.

Now, Director Li’s speech has made it clear that Lu Qing has become a member of the factory and even has the support of senior leaders behind him. His future is bright.

Judging from the situation, Lu Qing might be promoted step by step and enjoy unlimited glory.

"I don't agree!" He Yuzhu wanted to see Lu Qing being driven away in disgrace, and thought in his mind that with Lu Qing's ability, it would be impossible for him to find a good job.

What's more, he planned to obstruct secretly and make Lu Qing run into obstacles everywhere.

However, he did not expect Director Li to suddenly show up and disrupt his plans.

Director Li smiled and asked, "He Yuzhu, who has the final say here, you or I? Are you the director, or am I the director?"

He Yuzhu hurriedly defended himself: "Director Li, there is something wrong with his craftsmanship. Don't be so hasty to make a decision."

Director Li responded with disdain: "I have watched Lu Qing grow up, and I know him well."

"But--"

"The matter has been decided! If you are not satisfied, you can go to the factory director!" Director Li interrupted him mercilessly.

He Yuzhu was stunned. The factory director was also involved in this matter? Director Yang usually never asked about the canteen affairs, why did he suddenly intervene?

Director Li turned to Lu Qing and said, "Because this is a temporary decision, you are not a formal worker for the time being. Once the establishment is approved, you will become a formal employee of our factory."

Lu Qing nodded, but he knew in his heart that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Director Li has no friendship with him, so it is impossible for him to help him for no reason.

At the moment, Director Li seems to be helping him, but in fact he is taking the opportunity to suppress He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu has too much power in the cafeteria, and Director Li has been dissatisfied with him for a long time. Now that he has found this opportunity, he certainly will not miss it.

Let Lu Qing stay and become a pawn to deal with He Yuzhu.

Lu Qing sneered in his heart. He Yuzhu was already at the end of his strength and there was no need for him to do it himself.

Without his cooking skills, He Yuzhu will no longer have any status in the cafeteria and will never be able to make any waves again.

"Okay, everyone, go away and get to work!" Director Li gave an order and the crowd slowly dispersed.

People started talking in twos and threes.

"I thought it was Lu Qing's fault, but it turns out that He Yuzhu is a dishonest person."

"That's right, three years! Lu Qing treated him like a master, but in the end he didn't learn anything."

"I heard that He Yuzhu suppressed Lu Qing everywhere and didn't give him the opportunity to learn the craft."

"I've heard that too. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true!"

"If it were me, I would have quit long ago if I met a master like this!"

"Didn't you see that He Yuzhu deliberately criticized Lu Qing in public today just to embarrass him!"

"Who can't see that? He wants to ruin Lu Qing's reputation completely."

"He Yuzhu is usually arrogant in the cafeteria, and he doesn't even take Director Li seriously. I never thought he was so vicious!"

Yi Zhonghai listened to everyone's discussion, his brows furrowed more and more. He looked at Lu Qing walking towards the cafeteria, and felt that this person had changed.

He became much smarter, but also more gloomy and cruel.

Qin Huairu listened to the discussions around her, her heart filled with anger and she clenched her fists.

This Lu Qing is such an ungrateful and ungrateful person!
