Chapter 720 Gu Nan educates He Yuzhu
He Yuzhu showed an awkward smile on his face, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just feel that my current salary is a bit low. I have always wanted to become a chef as soon as possible, earn more money, and let you live a good life. I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't think too much and rushed in directly."
Lu Jia was moved after hearing this. She gently held He Yuzhu's hand and said, "Brother Zhuzi, I know you are doing this for my own good. But no matter what we do in the future, we just need to discuss it together. Two people can always think more thoroughly than one person, and this way there will be fewer mistakes, don't you think?"
He Yuzhu didn't expect that Lu Jia not only didn't blame him, but was also so considerate. He felt guilty. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, I understand, Lu Jia. I will pay attention to it in the future and discuss everything with you first."
Thinking back to when he had originally planned to let Lu Jia live a good life but his impulsiveness might have ruined everything, He Yuzhu felt as if a stone was blocking his heart, heavy.
Just like that, the whole night passed quietly as I tossed and turned.
The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds. Gu Nan went to work at the steel mill as usual. As soon as he walked into the factory gate, he saw Zhong Yi. Gu Nan took a few quick steps and came to Zhong Yi. He lowered his voice and asked, "How is it going?"
Zhong Yi looked around to make sure that no one was around, and then he whispered everything about He Yuzhu's hygiene inspection. After hearing this, Gu Nan's mouth slightly raised, revealing a smug smile. He knew that with He Yuzhu's usual careless personality, the hygiene would definitely not pass. He originally planned to keep an eye on He Yuzhu, catch him bringing vegetables home, and punish him, but he didn't expect that He Yuzhu didn't fall for it this time and became cautious.
Gu Nan thought to himself that there was nothing more important right now, and the matter with Lou Bancheng could not be settled overnight, so he had to think about it in the long run. After thinking it over, he decided to think about how to deal with He Yuzhu first, and make trouble for him, so as to vent his anger.
Gu Nan walked steadily towards the kitchen where He Yuzhu was. At this time, He Yuzhu, who was busy in the kitchen, saw Gu Nan's figure at a glance, and secretly complained in his heart. He knew very well what Gu Nan was here for, nothing more than to find fault.
Gu Nan walked into the kitchen and scanned the surroundings like an eagle. It must be said that the hygiene of the kitchen was much better than before, the floor was smooth, the stove was clean, and the various kitchen utensils were neatly arranged.
However, Gu Nan's expression did not ease at all. He fixed his eyes on He Yuzhu and said coldly, "Master He, although the hygiene seems to have improved compared to before, it still does not meet the standards. According to the regulations, five days' salary will be deducted from you. If it happens again, it will not be as simple as five days. Half a month's salary will be deducted directly."
He Yuzhu was furious when he heard this. He raised his head and was about to say something in defense, but he swallowed it back. He knew that Gu Nan was in power now and he was no match for him. If he talked back, he would probably get even more severe punishment. So he suppressed his anger and swallowed it.
Gu Nan keenly caught the flash of dissatisfaction on He Yuzhu's face, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and said provocatively: "What's wrong, He Yuzhu? Are you dissatisfied in your heart? If you are dissatisfied, you can go to the factory director to seek justice. If you feel that working here is aggrieved, you can also resign directly and leave."
He Yuzhu gritted his teeth. Although he was extremely angry, his reason prevailed. He remembered what Lu Jia had said to him yesterday, that he should be patient for the time being and not act impulsively. So, he took a deep breath, tried to make his tone more respectful, and said, "Director Gu, what are you talking about? Since I did something wrong, I should accept the criticism and education. I will definitely clean more carefully in the future and ensure that this situation will not happen again."
Gu Nan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Jia, who was behind He Yuzhu, was so powerful. Yesterday afternoon, He Yuzhu looked so aggressive, and it was clear that he was ready to quit. But this morning, he was able to hold back his anger. It seemed that Lu Jia had done a lot of ideological work for He Yuzhu. Gu Nan sneered and said, "Okay, you know what's good for you. I'll come over to check the hygiene again this afternoon. If it's not up to standard again, you can handle it yourself."
He Yuzhu looked at Gu Nan, hatred boiling in his heart, and he wanted to rush up and beat Gu Nan up immediately. But when he thought of Lu Jia's instructions, he still forced a smile and said, "Director Gu, you are welcome to come and check the hygiene at any time. I will definitely not let you down."
Gu Nan nodded with satisfaction, then turned and left the kitchen. Looking at Gu Nan's departing back, He Yuzhu was so angry that he punched the chopping board, causing the knives on the chopping board to jump. But he also understood that at this moment, there was nothing he could do except to endure.
That day, Gu Nan was very busy with various affairs in the factory. When the bell rang, he stretched himself and thought that He Yuzhu would definitely clean up the place honestly today, so there was no need for him to go over and watch. Anyway, he had already warned him, so it wouldn't be too late to check in two days. So he packed up his things and went straight home, ready to relax his tired body and mind.
Time passed slowly, and the days passed like the gurgling of flowing water. During this period, Gu Nan always maintained respect and care for his master Tan Shao, and would go to his master's residence every now and then. Every time he went, he would carefully prepare some fresh vegetables and water from the spirit pond.
On this day, Gu Nan came to Tan Shao's residence as usual. Tan Shao looked at the large and small bags of things in Gu Nan's hands, his eyes full of relief and helplessness, and said: "Gu Nan, you come when you want to. You always bring so many things. The things you sent before have not been eaten yet, and they are almost piled up into a small mountain."
Gu Nan's face was filled with a sincere smile, and he said, "Master, that's too polite. You have been so kind to me and taught me the skills of cooking Tan cuisine. This is what I should do. By the way, Master, I will go fill your jar with water." Although there is convenient tap water nowadays, Tan Shao is used to filling the jar with water for later use.
