Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 852 - 425: Group Dinner
Because Master Zhou warned them and justice was enforced, Zhao Cheng’an didn’t dare let Qin Huai make snacks for the next few days, even watching over Qin Huai to ensure he didn’t make any snacks.
As soon as Qin Huai showed the slightest desire to make snacks, even if the snack was not the Lucky Cloud Textured Sugar, Zhao Cheng’an would intervene desperately to stop him, absolutely not allowing Qin Huai to touch the dough.
This unique teaching method made Tan Wei’an almost cry, wishing he could take his place.
Such a distinctive teaching method directly led to Qin Huai being idle every day, apart from watching Zhao Cheng’an make snacks, supervising Tan Wei’an from slacking too much, and occasionally guiding Guli while wandering around looking for food.
For a moment, Qin Huai felt that he wasn’t really here for an exchange, but rather to act as a supervisor, with his main job being to oversee these two chatterboxes, Zhao Cheng’an and Tan Wen’an.
Of course, Qin Huai was not a competent supervisor, as during his watch, Tan Wei’an was caught slacking multiple times by Master Zhou, Master Hua, Master Zhao, Master Zhang, and Master Wang. Master Hua even righteously reported the behavior to Boss Su, resulting in Tan Wei’an losing all his vacation days this month, missing out on dine-out opportunities.
But it’s okay, someone was there to eat the meals Tan Wei’an missed.
An Youyou ate them.
With Huang Xi’s help, An Youyou managed to sublet her apartment with half a year left on the lease within a few days, and even sold her already second-hand electric scooter as third-hand.
Unlike Qin Huai, who traveled lightly for business trips with just a small suitcase with some clothes, An Youyou came to Hangzhou with four large suitcases, three of which were borrowed from colleagues.
To avoid paying extra for air shipping, An Youyou specifically bought a high-speed rail ticket. When Qin Huai went to the station to pick up An Youyou and saw her managing to get so many suitcases out of the station by herself, his first reaction wasn’t to wonder how she got them on the train, but how she had so much stuff that needed to be packed.
The answer was revealed when Qin Huai took An Youyou to her new apartment in the community, and the moment the suitcases were opened, everything was explained.
As an employee of Qin Huai, An Youyou’s accommodation was naturally arranged by Qin Huai. For convenience, Qin Huai could have entrusted the task to Boss Su, who had several apartments in the community near Zhiwei Restaurant.
However, considering the high rent in the community near Zhiwei Restaurant, having An Youyou, an exchange apprentice, live in such a nice place might be too obvious a favor. After consulting with Tan Wei’an, Qin Huai found a relatively cheaper apartment with an elevator, a one-bedroom on the first floor, about 3 kilometers from Zhiwei Restaurant, through a real estate agent.
The community has complete facilities nearby, small supermarkets, fruit shops, small restaurants, convenience stores, making it easy for An Youyou to buy daily necessities, and the bus stop is close by, making both taking the bus to work or riding an electric scooter very convenient. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
When Qin Huai rented the apartment, he felt like an incredibly considerate boss to have thought of even such small details.
But when An Youyou opened the suitcase, Qiu Huai realized he had overthought it.
His employee was even more considerate, having brought everything from bed linens to toothbrushes, toothpaste, rinsing cups, lunch boxes, dishes, dishwashing liquid, even unused tissues stored from last year, laundry detergent, and an air purifier given by Chen Huihong.
There were even two air purifiers; Chen Huihong had bought too much recently, and they were taking up too much space at home. Upon hearing that there was extra space in An Youyou’s suitcase, she asked An Youyou to bring one more to Qin Huai.
Qin Huai never expected to see the air purifiers Chen Huihong was giving away in Hangzhou.
The four suitcases of An Youyou shocked Qin Huai extremely, causing him to be somewhat distracted while supervising at work the next day, pondering whether it was him who had never worked properly, whether there was something wrong with An Youyou, or if both of them had issues.
As for An Youyou, she integrated well. More accurately, Zhiwei Restaurant was very inclusive of apprentices.
Zhiwei Restaurant had relaxed its standards for enrolling apprentices in recent years. Compared to new apprentices at Zhiwei Restaurant, An Youyou was not bad at all, even considered quick and efficient, strong, a type that some masters would particularly like.
Along with the heavy promotion by Tan Wei’an, no apprentice at Zhiwei Restaurant was unaware that An Youyou came for advanced training from Yunzhong Restaurant.
An Youyou neither competed with them nor stayed long-term at Zhiwei Restaurant. She didn’t make trouble, and with a good temperament, naturally, the apprentices at Zhiwei Restaurant welcomed her.
Of course, the most crucial part is that the apprentices at Zhiwei Restaurant aspire to get advanced training at Yunzhong Restaurant in the future, needing to maintain good relations with those well-connected with Xiao Qin, the head of helpers there.
An Youyou fitted in smoothly at Zhiwei Restaurant, making the workplace tips wrote by Shi Dadan unnecessary.
But it’s okay; they were put to use during a meal.
With Tan Wei’an unavailable, Qin Huai casually asked Zhao Cheng’an whether An Youyou could join them, reasoning that it was a four-person gathering regardless of who was present.
Zhao Cheng’an agreed readily, so An Youyou requested leave, which was successful, allowing her to substitute in under Tan Wei’an’s envious gaze.
