Chapter 719 He Yuzhu Cleaning
Helplessly, He Yuzhu could only grit his teeth, pick up the cleaning tools, and continue cleaning the cafeteria. As for bringing food home like before, he didn't even dare to think about it. After all, if Gu Nan knew about it, he didn't know how he would be punished.
Gu Nan was filled with joy, humming a little tune as he walked home happily. He had long since put the precious recipe away in his space, thinking that no one would be able to find it now. This recipe was his treasure, carrying his hope for the inheritance of Tan's cuisine.
When Gu Nan returned to the courtyard, he happened to run into He Yuzhu. He Yuzhu hung his head and looked listless. Gu Nan could tell at a glance that this guy must have not kept the kitchen clean. He Yuzhu was worried all the way, thinking to himself, if Gu Nan knew that the kitchen was not clean, he would definitely make trouble for him tomorrow. What should he do? Just thinking about this, he didn't notice Gu Nan coming towards him at all, and walked straight past Gu Nan.
Gu Nan was in a particularly good mood today, and he didn't bother to pay attention to He Yuzhu's distraught look, and walked straight home. As soon as he entered the house, Ran Qiuye came up to him and asked with concern: "Gu Nan, how are you? Are you exhausted today?" Ran Qiuye's eyes were full of heartache.
Gu Nan smiled and held Ran Qiuye's hand, saying: "Actually, I know some basics of Tan's cuisine. This time, I am preparing to pass on Tan's cuisine. I tell you, if this succeeds, it will be of extraordinary significance." Gu Nan's eyes were shining with excitement, as if he had already seen the bright future of the development of Tan's cuisine.
At this moment, Gu Nan was even more confident and not anxious at all. Because Lou Xiao'e had already started to make intensive preparations, according to this progress, they would be able to leave smoothly before Xu Damao came out. Thinking of this, Gu Nan couldn't help but smile with relief.
Lu Jia saw He Yuzhu's face was not right in the yard, and she was a little worried, so she took the initiative to walk over and asked softly: "Brother Zhuzi, what's wrong with you? You don't look very well."
He Yuzhu looked up at Lu Jia and said casually, "It's nothing. I just forgot to buy groceries today. I'll go buy them now." After saying that, he was about to leave.
Lu Jia hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "We are a family from now on. How can I ask you to buy vegetables all the time? I have already bought them. Come and try my cooking today." Lu Jia knew that he still needed He Yuzhu's help, so he was extra attentive to him.
After that, Lu Jia turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy. Although her cooking skills were not very good, she still put a lot of effort into cooking the dishes. Afterwards, she poured a glass of wine for He Yuzhu and said gently: "Brother Zhuzi, is there something that makes you unhappy? Tell me, maybe I can help you with some ideas." Lu Jia's eyes were full of concern, trying to get He Yuzhu to talk.
He Yuzhu didn't want to say it at first, but he felt really uncomfortable holding it in his heart. Looking at Lu Jia's sincere look, he finally couldn't help but said, "Lu Jia, you don't know, I offended Gu Nan." He Yuzhu's tone was full of regret.
Lu Jia frowned slightly, looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, what's going on? You have to tell me so that we can work together to find a solution."
He Yuzhu sighed helplessly and told Lu Jia everything he had done. After he finished, he looked at Lu Jia with annoyance and said, "Am I really stupid? I knew that now was not the time to offend Gu Nan, but why did I offend him so foolishly?"
After hearing this, Lu Jia thought that this might be a good opportunity. She looked at He Yuzhu and said seriously, "Brother Zhu, Gu Nan is not a stingy person. He is just angry for a moment and will not fire you. Don't worry too much."
Although He Yuzhu knew that Gu Nan would not fire him, he still felt aggrieved. After all, with Gu Nan's personality, he must have been causing trouble for him recently.
Lu Jia seemed to see what He Yuzhu was thinking, and then said: "Brother Zhuzi, find some time to talk to Gu Nan, and then we can give him some gifts, maybe Gu Nan won't blame you, what do you think?"
He Yuzhu thought about it for a while and felt that what Lu Jia said made sense. He looked at her and said, "You are right. It seems that I should apologize. Otherwise, my life in the kitchen will be difficult in the future."
Lu Jia nodded and reminded, "But we can't be too hasty about this matter. After all, Gu Nan is still angry. If you go there now, it might just add fuel to the fire and make him even angrier. It's better to wait a few days until he's calmed down a little, then you can go. That way you'll have a better chance of success." After hearing this, He Yuzhu felt that Lu Jia was very thoughtful and couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to her.
He Yuzhu listened to Lu Jia's words, nodded slightly, and said nothing more. Lu Jia stared at He Yuzhu, his eyes full of concern, and said: "Brother Zhuzi, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a little in the next two days. You also know Gu Nan's temper. He will definitely not let you go easily and will definitely find a way to find fault with you."
He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, and said: "This is no big deal. I don't believe it. How capable can Gu Nan be to fire me from this steel mill? I have worked in the kitchen for so many years, I am not a vegetarian." Having said that, he knew in his heart that Gu Nan would not give up, but the stubbornness in his bones made him unwilling to show any worry.
After saying that, He Yuzhu turned to look at Lu Jia, a questioning look flashed in his eyes, and asked: "You don't blame me for offending Gu Nan so impulsively? After all, this matter may bring us a lot of trouble."
Lu Jia smiled gently, her smile was as warm as the spring sun, and said: "Brother Zhuzi, you want to stand up for Ma Hua, this is a good intention. You can offend Gu Nan, but you really shouldn't come forward directly in this matter. Think about it, even if you don't come forward, with the relationship between Director Li and Gu Nan, Director Li will definitely make trouble for Ma Hua. Then we can find a way to deal with Gu Nan, and it may be easier. If Gu Nan is really dealt with, the position of head chef in the kitchen is still yours. If you are so impulsive, you may alert the enemy and ruin the big thing."
He Yuzhu looked at Lu Jia thoughtfully, frowned slightly, and hesitated: "You are right, Lu Jia, but..."
Lu Jia keenly sensed the hidden meaning in He Yuzhu's words, tilted her head, and asked with concern: "Brother Zhuzi, do you have anything else? Don't hide it from me, is there anything we can't talk about?"
