Chapter 708 The young widow who inherited her dead husband’s estate (58)
The young widow who inherited her dead husband's estate (Fifty-eight)
Dong Dafu finally calmed down after he realized that the real winner was Lance despite the commotion between him and Song Ning.
The chicken stewed with dried mushrooms tasted even better than the last time he had tasted it.
This time the chicken is even more fragrant than before. The chicken soup has a thin layer of golden oil, with dried mushrooms and red wolfberries floating on it. The chicken is soaked in the soup, and it brings out a fragrance when picked up with chopsticks.
Dong Dafu couldn't wait to pick it up and put it in the bowl. He took two gulps and then bit it in one bite.
Fresh, the flavor of mushrooms and chicken astonished the taste buds faster than the gravy, and then the rich soup burst out as the chicken was bitten. The aroma of mushrooms and the aroma of meat complemented each other. The chicken was not too old or too soft, the skin was tender and the meat was just the right amount of chewy. After taking a bite, Dong Dafu's mind was full of words.
I still have to persuade these two people to raise more chickens. Oh, no, they have to raise more ducks too. It would be best if they could also raise some geese to slaughter.
I really want to eat goose stewed in an iron pot during the Chinese New Year.
After making three wishes to the pot of chicken soup, Dong Dafu was reluctant to leave after eating it.
"Oh, it would be nice if there were more days off."
If it really doesn't work, this business trip can be extended by one more day.
Song Ning gave him the jar of salted duck eggs, while curiously.
"So you don't have any vacations now? I remember the benefits were pretty good and there were a lot of vacations."
Otherwise, Dong Dafu would not have changed jobs so easily.
"Don't mention it. I can only say that it's not bad."
Every weekend I work extra I get double pay, and any extra hours beyond eight hours are 1.5 times the pay. It can be said that the pay is sufficient, but it's very busy.
Dong Dafu sighed, "It's my fault that I use this ability so well. Others can at least have two days off a week, but even if I take a day off, I'm afraid the office will call me in a few hours. Doesn't that mean I'm taking a day off for nothing?"
So up to now he basically doesn't take a vacation if he can avoid it. Anyway, he is still young and can still hold on. If he doesn't work hard to make money now, when will he start working hard?
On the bright side, he just worked a lot of overtime, but it was not a very hard job and he could get overtime pay according to regulations.
The monthly salary is equivalent to two or three of his previous jobs, right? And the previous job wasn't much better, there was more work but no more pay. In comparison, this one is just temporarily too busy to take a vacation, but the money is in place, so everything is fine.
After listening to his analysis, Song Ning discovered that Dong Dafu was just howling.
If he really didn't work overtime and saw the money he could earn just slip away, Dong Dafu might really make a fuss.
After seeing clearly, he stopped trying to comfort Dong Dafu, "Since you are so busy at the office and can't leave, you should go back quickly."
Dong Dafu made a few "tsk tsk" sounds.
"You just can't stand seeing your brothers doing well, right? I came all the way here to play with you guys."
"Yes, yes, yes," Song Ning said, thinking back and looking at him seriously, "You coming here to take over our testing job this time won't cause you any trouble, right?"
He didn't want Dong Dafu to get into trouble because of him.
Dong Dafu snorted, "You really underestimate me."
As he spoke, he turned to Song Ning and said, "Don't you still have some dried mushrooms? Give me a bag and I'll give it to you as a gift."
Song Ning glanced at him and without asking any questions went to get a pack for him.
Dong Dafu took it and waved at him, "Thanks, buddy. I'll leave first. See you in the New Year."
He looked at the rearview mirror and saw Song Ning looked for a while before turning back and humming a tune.
He came here to ask for leave but actually it was partly a business trip.
Song Ning and the others were right to worry. What he did would indeed make some people unhappy. When Dong Dafu returned to the unit to submit the test report, he heard someone making sarcastic remarks.
"Some people are just lucky and have good fortunes. The department was short of people at the beginning, so they let in people with no education and a casual attitude. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this now. Some people simply treat the department as their own home and do whatever they want."
It didn't hurt at all. Dong Dafu even wanted to grab the man's butt in front of him.
What's wrong with him not having a high level of education?
There was no educational requirement for the job in the department, at least there was no educational requirement when he came in.
Dong Dafu ignored those people and watched him submit the test report before punching in.
After a day's work, he took his things and stayed in the staff dormitory for a while. But not long after, someone knocked on the door. Dong Dafu smiled as soon as he opened it.
"Brother Liang, you are here."
Liang Feng nodded and spoke concisely.
"Three people have strong opinions about you, but the director has a good impression of you. Your ability is more important than theirs in the current job. I have read the test report, and there is no problem and it has passed."
"Okay, thank you Brother Liang."
Dong Dafu presented the bag of dried mushrooms and took out a small jar - it was the jar of salted duck eggs that Song Ning had pickled for him.
"It's just a small token of my appreciation. But it will take some time before you can eat the salted duck eggs. They are all homemade."
Liang Feng looked at the jar and only took the dried mushrooms.
"No, but it's just this once. I won't be able to help you with these things next time."
Dong Dafu helped him, and he repaid Dong Dafu, but only this time.
Dong Dafu understood and nodded vigorously.
"Don't worry, Brother Liang, I know all this."
Liang Feng nodded, took the dried mushrooms and left.
Dong Dafu put the jar back carefully and lay back.
"Fortunately, I was careful and didn't tell anyone about Brother Liang. Isn't it useful now?"
Actually, he and Liang Feng didn't have much friendship. He was just a pure newcomer when he first came in, but Liang Feng had been working in the department for quite some time.
Dong Dafu didn't pay much attention to this incident at the time. There was nothing special about Liang Feng in the department at that time - that is to say, as an employee of the department, he was actually an ordinary person.
After Dong Dafu confirmed his own abilities, he gradually discovered that Liang Feng was slowly developing his own abilities.
And no one knew how Liang Feng had managed to sneak into the department before, after all, the department was full of people with superpowers at that time.
After Dong Dafu started to judge people, one day when Liang Feng came back from a business trip, he saw that Liang Feng had changed and subconsciously said congratulations.
Director Li was there too, wondering why he was congratulating Liang Feng. Liang Feng's hands, which seemed calm, had turned pale as he put them behind his back.
Dong Dafu realized this only then. He didn't know what he was thinking, but he just said it with a laugh.
"I'm back from a business trip and can rest now. Isn't this worth congratulating? Director, you obviously don't understand us, the slaves of the office!"
