Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

Chapter 168 The Little Girl

After everyone entered the small warehouse, Sha Zhu closed the door tightly and said to them,

"This was my supper last night. I couldn't bear to eat it myself, so I saved it for you guys."

Sha Zhu took out a thermos and a lunchbox of mutton that he had placed on the shelf beforehand, and gestured for the others to open the lunchbox.

They were given some to each of them, and told to eat quickly.

The young woman in the finance department wanted to close her lunchbox and eat it back in the office.

Sha Zhu quickly said, "Don't take it back to eat! If everyone in the office finds out and comes looking for me, I'll be in big trouble!"

Hurry up and eat here before you leave. After you finish eating, there's warm water and a towel here. Rinse your mouth and wipe yourself clean before you go.

"If you leave this room and someone smells it again, if someone finds out you've been sneaking around eating beforehand, you'll have to deal with it yourselves. I won't admit to anything."

The young lady from the finance department was about to go back to the office to show off, but after hearing what Sha Zhu said, she reluctantly opened her lunchbox again.

The HR lady said to the finance lady, "Xiao Liu, what Master He said is right, so don't cause him any trouble. If you're not going to eat it, give it to me."

“Who said I won’t eat?” Xiao Liu, fearing that the food in his lunchbox would be snatched away, hurriedly followed the others and started eating heartily.

"Little Liu," Sha Zhu thought to himself, "the young lady in the street office's finance department is surnamed Liu, and the young lady in the steel rolling mill's finance department is also surnamed Liu. All these young ladies with the surname Liu are going to the finance department."

Sha Zhu watched the group eat and drink, then turned his gaze to Xiao Song, the only person he was somewhat familiar with, from the purchasing department, and said...

"Xiao Song, I recognize these people in the office, but I only know your name. Aren't you going to introduce them?"

Xiao Song was engrossed in his food when Sha Zhu asked him to introduce the guests. He looked up awkwardly and said...

"I only know Sister Liu from the finance department who handles payroll. The other three?" Xiao Song looked at the others, indicating that they should introduce themselves.

The woman from the HR department pursed her lips and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm from the HR department, and I share the same surname as Xiao Liu. You can just call me Sister Liu."

He then pointed to another shy girl and said, "This is my neighbor, Xiaoli, Zhang Lili. She works for the health department. If you feel unwell in the future, you can go to her."

Then he pointed to the last young man and said, "Zhang from the equipment maintenance department."

After saying that, he looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Well, everyone knows each other now, right? Xiao He, no one knows you yet, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"Don't you know? How could that be? Sister Liu, please stop teasing me."

"Aren't there plenty of rumors about me in the factory? Just now, Sister Liu mentioned my father He Daqing's name, so I guess everyone knows me now." After Sha Zhu finished speaking, several people secretly laughed.

Young Miss Liu asked curiously, "Master He, I heard you beat up three people before the New Year, and you were really ruthless. Is that true?"

I heard from a friend that you were hitting them while you were calling out your own nickname. What were you thinking?

Looking at the delicate face of Xiao Liu from the finance department, Sha Zhu thought to himself, "She's not my type. Why are they all older than me?"

By the time he finds a partner, these pretty young girls will surely have already married someone else.

Seeing the curious group, Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Making an example of them, I guess. These guys ate without paying and called me by my nickname."

I kept hitting them while they kept calling me by my nickname.

They were so badly beaten they couldn't speak. So I shouted for them.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he saw that the others had all lowered their heads in fear and continued eating the food from their lunchboxes. No one asked any questions.

He quickly explained, "You see, I'm actually quite easy to talk to. Otherwise, if you had asked me to sample your food, I would have chased you away long ago, wouldn't I?"

I don't even know you guys well, yet I've already given you my precious late-night meal that I was reluctant to eat. Just don't call me by that silly Zhu nickname...,"

"Cough, cough..." Upon hearing the nickname "Silly Pillar," the shy girl Zhang Lili almost coughed up her drink.

Several people chuckled and looked at Zhang Lili...

After seeing the office staff off, Sha Zhu returned to the kitchen. Liu Lan came over, grabbed Sha Zhu, and asked with a puzzled look, "What did you take them to the small warehouse for?"

Sha Zhu was puzzled; Liu Lan was not only a curious child, but now she seemed to be watching him closely.

She definitely wouldn't be interested in me; I'm still several years younger, and Liu Lan could already be married.

That's the money I have on hand. Since I'm so short of cash, I thought, "I took them to the small storage room to chat, because I was worried they'd disturb our kitchen staff. What's wrong?"

"Definitely not, they seemed quite happy when they left," Liu Lan said, shaking her head in certainty.

"I promised to take them to a small restaurant in Nanluoguxiang after get off work before I could send them away," Sha Zhu lied casually.

Liu Lan's eyes lit up. "Then can you take me with you too?"

Sha Zhu shook his head and frowned, saying, "They all sit in offices, they definitely wouldn't look up to you. What would you do there? Just sit on the sidelines?"

Or, if I have time, I can introduce you to someone else. There are plenty of excellent young men in Nanluoguxiang.

"I don't need your introduction," Liu Lan said, then turned and left.

Sha Zhu was puzzled, thinking to himself, "Please don't take a fancy to me, or even just want to borrow some money from me."

Women's minds are really hard to fathom. Why did she run away as soon as I mentioned introducing a young man?

There weren't many people left in the cafeteria hall. Perhaps they had heard the announcement over the loudspeaker, or perhaps it was time for them to start work.

Only a few scattered people remained in the lobby, presumably those who had finished their night shifts and hadn't gone home.

With government officials visiting today, we certainly won't let them stay here for long.

Sha Zhu found his disciple Zhang Long, and the two of them transported the ingredients for the braised meat to the small kitchen next to the back kitchen.

After seeing this, Squad Leader Zhao told Sha Zhu to let him know if he needed help, and then the quick-witted Zhao left the small kitchen and went outside.

Sha Zhu was instructing Zhang Long on how to make braised food in the small kitchen, while Director Zhang of the canteen was sitting at the factory manager's office desk like a subservient grandson.

They stood obediently with their heads down. Besides Director Lou, several other factory leaders sat on the sofa in the factory manager's office.

And a little girl of about ten years old was playing in the corner of the office.

"Alright, don't blame Director Zhang anymore. Everyone agreed to buy these sheep."

Director Zhang's arrangement to start processing the ingredients that evening was not wrong in itself, although the smell was a bit strong and it seemed a bit like a publicity stunt. Now we can only take it one step at a time.

Factory Director Lou Zhenhua glanced at his watch and continued, "The government leaders and the leaders from the Ministry of Industry will arrive at nine o'clock. There's less than an hour left."

Go back and arrange your work now. If anyone fails to do so in their department, you'll have to deal with the consequences yourself!

Old Shen, your security department should coordinate with Old Zhang's production department, take some men to the canteen lobby, and persuade the night shift workers to leave.

"Be careful not to provoke conflict. Promise the night shift workers that they can eat the same meal for free in the canteen during their evening rest time. Any other questions?"

After the leaders left, Director Lou looked at Director Zhang and said, "Did you hear what I just said? There shouldn't be any problem arranging for people to work the night shift in the canteens tonight."

"No, no," Director Zhang of the cafeteria hurriedly replied.

"Okay, then go back and arrange lunch."

As soon as Director Lou saw Director Zhang off, the young woman, seeing that there were no outsiders in the office, hurriedly ran to Director Lou's side.

She grabbed Lou Zhenhua's arm and said eagerly, "Daddy, Daddy, it smells so good! Is it coming from the cafeteria? Can you take me to see it?"

"You little glutton, are you really just going to take a look?" Lou Zhenhua asked his daughter affectionately.
