Ji Fang staggered away, and halfway through, a warm voice reached him from behind, I wont approve the transfer application.

No, Deputy Director, youre too kind. Id be crazy to apply for a transfer. Not bad, you have good taste, the voice continued.

Ji Fang was left speechless. He felt defeated; he couldnt even transfer.

Hehehe Su Wen pretended to be naive, refusing to disclose her thoughts.

Dont be silly. Didnt you just say you were hungry? Zhou Hengyang pulled Su Wen over and seated her, asking, What do you want to eat? Ill have the chef make it.

Surveying the laid-out dishes on the dining tablebraised pork with pickled vegetables, eggplant, cowpeas, and a bottle of red wineSu Wen couldnt help but think, Zhou Hengguang is indeed as picky as described in the original novel.

However, the combination of braised pork with pickled vegetables and imported red wine seemed oddly out of place.

I want a tomato salad.

Okay! Zhou Hengyang snapped his fingers, signalling the chef, who gladly acknowledged the request. Immediately, he smiled, his face full of wrinkles. Chef, add a tomato salad to our table, snap a cuc.u.mber, and throw in some salted edamame, please.

While waiting for the order, Zhou Hengyangs gaze s.h.i.+fted towards the canteen chefs, appreciating their efforts. The canteen had flourished under the big bosss management, providing livelihoods for many families.

With the factorys enhanced performance and a growing workforce, the cafeteria bustles with activity daily, yet the head chef maintained a cheerful demeanour.

Upon the big bosss request for additional dishes, the head chef eagerly took on the task. Soon enough, the dishes were expertly prepared and served with a delightful smile.

As the chef prepared the requested dishes, Zhou Hengguangs expression soured. You guys want to eat with me?

Youre not welcoming us? Zhou Hengyang replied, patting his shoulder. Ignoring Zhou Hengguangs response, he grabbed a clean bowl and chopsticks, joining Su Wen at the table.

Forget it! Zhou Hengguang resignedly took his seat.

One by one, others joined, taking advantage of Zhou Hengguangs presence. Bringing Ji Fangs local speciality to the canteen had proven to be a big mistake.

Hey, these cowpeas are delicious, similar to those in my hometown, Su Wen remarked, appreciating the familiar taste.

Its indeed the same as ours. It is similar to those cooked by Su Qing, Zhou Hengyang added, savouring the cowpeas with approval.

I have some pickled vegetables at home too. I havent had time to eat them yet. Su Wen teased Zhou Hengyang, while Zhou Hengguang pretended not to hear it. She had a poor appet.i.te and desired only tomato salad and smashed cuc.u.mber, now upon seeing the well-prepared braised pork with pickled vegetables, she decided to give it a try and took a bite.

Zhou Hengyang lovingly caressed Su Wens hair, declaring, Well do it when we get home.

Ill prepare it myself. It will surely be better than this, Su Wen insisted, recognizing the chefs talent but a.s.serting her culinary expertise. In truth, the cafeteria chefs skills were commendable; otherwise, the discerning Zhou Hengguang wouldnt dine here, let alone bring a bottle of red wine.

Can you still cook? Zhou Hengyang expressed concern for his wifes well-being, suggesting alternatives if needed. If you cant, let Su Xiu do it, or I can do it myself, he said..
