Chapter 543: When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was struck by lightning
Xu Damao stood in the corner of the small kitchen and said to Li Huaide who was busy with work with a flattering look on his face: "Director Li, do you think you should reconsider this matter? In my opinion, we should just let that idiot Zhu sweep the toilet!" After saying that, he did not forget to gesture a few times with his hands.
After hearing this, Li Huaide stopped what he was doing, turned around, frowned and looked at Xu Damao, and asked in confusion: "Oh? Why do you have such an idea? You know, Sha Zhu has always been the chef in our factory, and his cooking skills are impeccable."
Seeing this, Xu Damao quickly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Director Li, think about it. This silly Zhu is always so arrogant and domineering. He doesn't take anyone seriously. Moreover, he is impatient and often makes mistakes. If he continues to stay in the kitchen to cook, if he makes trouble again one day, it will be difficult to deal with! It would be better to transfer him to the position of cleaning the toilet to temper his temper and let him know his own weight."
Li Huaide listened to Xu Damao's words, pondered for a moment, and shook his head gently. "Da Mao, although what you said makes some sense, Sha Zhu's cooking skills do add a lot of color to our factory cafeteria. Many workers come here for his cooking skills. If he is transferred like this, the workers may have opinions." Xu Damao was anxious when he heard it, and his eyes turned and said, "Director Li, do you think this will work? Let's find someone to temporarily replace Sha Zhu. If the effect is not good, let Sha Zhu come back. As for Sha Zhu, go to sweep the toilet to adapt for a while. If he performs well, he will be replaced." Li Huaide touched his chin with his hand, as if he was moved. At this time, Sha Zhu came in with a plate of freshly fried dishes, and the fragrance spread instantly. Sha Zhu saw Xu Damao here, snorted coldly, "Hey, Xu Damao, are you framing me here again?" Then he put the dish heavily on the table. Li Huaide looked at Sha Zhu and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He smiled and said to the two of them: "You two have your own strengths. Let me think about this matter carefully." Seeing this, Xu Damao could only shut up in disappointment, while Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows proudly.
In that quiet and quaint courtyard, the sun shines through the lush leaves, casting mottled shadows. Yi Zhonghai walks steadily through the clothes drying and flower pots in the yard, and finally comes to Sha Zhu.
At this time, Sha Zhu was sitting on a stone bench, absentmindedly fiddling with the tools in his hands. When he saw Yi Zhonghai coming over, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, let me ask you something. Have you always liked Qin Huairu?"
Hearing this, Sha Zhu nodded somewhat embarrassedly, with a blush on his face. In his heart, Qin Huairu had always been as beautiful as the white moonlight. She was gentle, kind, hardworking and capable, which made Sha Zhu's heart beat fast. However, now Qin Huairu always acted distant and indifferent to him, which made Sha Zhu feel a little disappointed.
Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu's expression, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged! Zhuzi, I think there is still hope for this matter. How about this, I will help you talk to Qin Huairu, maybe it will work!"
When Sha Zhu heard this, he was overjoyed and almost jumped up from the stone bench. He excitedly grabbed Yi Zhonghai's hand and thanked him repeatedly: "That's great, uncle. If you can really help me to arrange this marriage, I will be very grateful! If you have any questions in the future, just tell me, I will never hesitate!"
Yi Zhonghai smiled.
Find Qin Huairu.
But Qin Huairu said: "Shazhu is too ugly, old and ugly!"
Yi Zhonghai was helpless: "But you can't always be like this, right?"
Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai; "What do you mean?!"
Yi Zhonghai's face changed slightly, but he still said patiently: "Qin Huairu, you also know that Sha Zhu is sincere to you. Don't you know how he has treated you over the years? You think he is old and ugly now, but he is kind-hearted and often helps your family. Besides, you are not young anymore, it is not easy to find someone as sincere as Sha Zhu who treats you well."
Qin Huairu snorted and crossed her arms, "Uncle, this is my business, you don't have to worry about it. Even if I never get married, I won't marry someone who looks like Sha Zhu."
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he stamped his feet. "Why are you so stubborn, girl? Although Shazhu looks ordinary, he is a great cook. Many people in the factory envy you for being taken care of by him. If you miss this opportunity, don't regret it later."
Qin Huairu was not moved at all. She turned around and was about to go back to the house. "Uncle, don't say anything. I have made up my mind." Just then, a young and handsome man walked into the yard. Qin Huairu's eyes lit up instantly. Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself that the matter had become more difficult, and Sha Zhu was probably heartbroken.
Seeing Qin Huairu's enthusiastic attitude towards the young man, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but feel sad for Sha Zhu. He knew Sha Zhu's infatuation with Qin Huairu and the position of Qin Huairu in Sha Zhu's heart, but now it was obvious that Sha Zhu's sincerity had gone to waste.
The young man's name was Jia Dongxu, and he was Qin Huairu's childhood sweetheart. They had a relationship, but later they separated for some reason. Now that Jia Dongxu had returned from abroad, Qin Huairu's heart was stirred again.
As soon as Jia Dongxu entered the room, he greeted Qin Huairu with a big smile on his face. Qin Huairu was also full of joy, and the two of them chatted happily, completely ignoring Yi Zhonghai who was standing beside them.
Yi Zhonghai coughed, trying to attract the attention of the two. Qin Huairu turned around, forced a smile and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, do you have anything else to talk to me about? If not, I'll go into the house to talk to Dongxu first."
Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, you guys go ahead. But Qin Huairu, you have to think about it carefully and don't make a decision that you will regret."
Qin Huairu didn't say anything more, and pulled Jia Dongxu into the house. Yi Zhonghai looked at their backs as they left, sighed, and turned to leave.
When Sha Zhu heard the news, he was shocked. He couldn't believe that Qin Huairu would be so passionate about another man, and that his efforts over the years had resulted in such a result. He sat in the yard, staring blankly into the distance, his heart filled with pain and despair.
As night fell, the courtyard was silent. Sha Zhu sat alone on a stone bench, holding a bottle of wine in his hand, drinking one sip after another. The alcohol numbed his nerves, but it could not heal the pain in his heart.
