Chapter 499: Shooting yourself in the foot!
Lin Yuemei, who was about to return to the office, heard that Li Huaide had found a Hunan chef to be responsible for the reception of Mr. Sun. She immediately showed a puzzled expression on her face and reminded Li Huaide curiously: "Deputy Director Li! I heard that Mr. Sun is from Sichuan. Why don't you arrange He Yuzhu from the third canteen to cook for Mr. Sun, but instead go out and hire a Hunan chef to cook for Mr. Sun?"
When Li Huaide heard Lin Yuemei's question, he thought of Jia Dongming's advice to him. Although he didn't understand why Jia Dongming suggested that he find a Hunan chef to cook, out of trust in Jia Dongming, Li Huaide smiled and replied, "Deputy Director Lin! To tell you the truth, at first I was going to let Sha Zhu be responsible for cooking Sichuan cuisine, but then a friend of mine gave me a suggestion, so I went out and hired a Hunan chef to prepare four dishes and one soup to entertain Mr. Sun."
When Lin Yuemei heard what Li Huaide said, she immediately showed a puzzled expression on her face. She asked Li Huaide curiously: "Deputy Director Li! Who is the friend you just mentioned? Why did he give you this advice?"
When Li Huaide heard Lin Yuemei's question, he thought of Jia Dongming who had helped him many times. Out of trust in Jia Dongming, Li Huaide was convinced that Jia Dongming must have his reasons for making such an arrangement. However, he did not intend to reveal Jia Dongming's identity. He smiled and said, "Deputy Director Lin! I'm sorry that I can't tell you the identity of this friend for the time being."
After hearing what Li Huaide said, Lin Yuemei did not continue to dwell on the issue. She smiled and said to Li Huaide, "Deputy Director Li! Then you go ahead and do your work. I will go back to the office first."
Lin Yuemei returned to her office. Thinking of what Li Huaide had just said and his confident expression, a figure immediately appeared in her mind.
Thinking of Jia Dongming, Lin Yuemei reached out and pressed the internal phone on the desk. She quickly shook the handle a few times, picked up the receiver, and said, "Put me on the line from the Security Department, Director Jia's office."
"Hello! This is the Security Department. I'm Jia Dongming. Who is this?" The call was connected quickly. Before Lin Yuemei could speak, Jia Dongming's polite voice came from the phone.
Although the last incident was just an accident, Jia Dongming's figure would appear in Lin Yuemei's mind from time to time since it happened, especially when Lin Yuemei was with her husband, she would always compare her husband with Jia Dongming from time to time.
Lin Yuemei recovered from her distraction when she heard Jia Dongming's polite question. She smiled and said to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Happy New Year. I'm Lin Yuemei. I hope I didn't disturb your work by calling you at this time."
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's voice, he showed a surprised expression on his face, and quickly replied with a smile: "I was wondering who was looking for me, it turned out to be Sister Yuemei!"
"Sister Yuemei! Happy New Year! How can you have time to call me if you're not accompanying Mr. Sun at this time?"
Lin Yuemei on the other end of the phone heard Jia Dongming's question and thought of Chen Weizhong's previous actions, and replied unhappily: "Our factory director Chen is worried that we will steal his limelight in front of General Manager Sun. When he received General Manager Sun, he was unwilling to introduce us to him even for the most basic introduction. How could he be willing to let us follow him and accompany General Manager Sun to inspect the workshop?" Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's introduction and learned about Chen Weizhong's actions. He was surprised, but when he thought of General Manager Sun's character, he couldn't help laughing and replied gloatingly: "Chen Weizhong thought that by doing this, no one could steal his limelight in front of General Manager Sun. Unfortunately, he was too clever, but he didn't know that General Manager Sun hated such selfish cadres who didn't know how to unite the most. I guess he will shoot himself in the foot this time."
Lin Yuemei, who was on the other end of the phone, immediately felt her eyes light up when she heard what Jia Dongming said on the phone. At the same time, she also confirmed her previous guess. She quickly asked Jia Dongming: "Dongming! From what you said, it seems that you know Mr. Sun, and you are very familiar with Mr. Sun's personality?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's question, he realized that he was just too happy and ended up exposing the fact that he knew Mr. Sun.
Facing Lin Yuemei's question, Jia Dongming pretended to be confused and said, "Sister Yuemei! I also heard about Mr. Sun's personality and preferences from others."
"You heard it from others? If it was hearsay, you clearly knew that Mr. Sun was from Sichuan, so why did you suggest Li Huaide to find a Hunan chef to cook to entertain Mr. Sun?" When Lin Yuemei heard Jia Dongming's answer, she didn't believe what Jia Dongming said at all, and asked Jia Dongming directly.
When Jia Dongming heard the question Lin Yuemei asked, he was stunned for a moment. He asked Lin Yuemei with curiosity, "Sister Yuemei! How did you know that it was me who suggested to Li Huaide to find a Hunan chef to cook for Mr. Sun?"
After hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Lin Yuemei became more certain that Jia Dongming knew Mr. Sun, and she smiled and replied, "Just now, I was in the corridor of the office building and heard Li Huaide say that he had invited a Hunan chef to cook for Mr. Sun. At that time, I thought of Mr. Sun's ancestral home and asked him about it out of curiosity. As a result, Li Huaide told me that the suggestion to invite the Hunan chef was made by a friend of his."
"I asked Li Huaide who the friend was, but he deliberately laughed it off and didn't tell me the truth. Then I thought about it carefully and felt that you should be the only person in the steel mill that Li Huaide could call a friend. So I called you to test whether this mysterious person was you, and I actually guessed it right."
Lin Yuemei paused for a moment and then asked Jia Dongming, "Dongming! Since you even know that Mr. Sun likes Hunan cuisine, you can't tell me that this is hearsay, right?"
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Yuemei's question, he instinctively wanted to find an excuse to prevaricate, but thinking of the relationship between him and Lin Yuemei, Jia Dongming could only helplessly say to Lin Yuemei: "Sister Yuemei! Although Mr. Sun is from Sichuan, his mother and lover are from Hunan Province. Because of the influence of his mother and lover, Mr. Sun's favorite dish is actually Hunan cuisine. As for why I know this, please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
