Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 268 Live up to the name

Jingyu, that is, Jingju.

After returning home, I sat at the dinner table feeling a little depressed.

Haven't spoken yet.

Father Jing spoke first: "The leader has assigned you a task, and asked you to coordinate with a restaurant owner. This is their record for today. I saw that this cook has quite a lot of ideas. Take a look. If you don't understand anything, tell me. It's not a big deal, but this is the leader's assignment, so you have to take it seriously."

After hearing what Father Jing said, Jing Yu was stunned for a moment, then took it and took a look.

Keep turning the pages until the last page.

Then he felt a little unwell.

"Dad, I know this guy."

"You know?" Jing's father didn't expect this.

"Yes." Jing Yu recounted what had happened in the past few days.

Before Jing's father could say anything, Jing's mother laughed first.

"This is really interesting, my eldest son. You are so unlucky to have such a person."

"Mom~" Jing Yu shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Tsk." Father Jing tsks softly and pats Jing Yu's shoulder: "Then you should be in trouble."

"What's the trouble? Haven't I already promised him to do this? I just need to make sure there is no problem for him to do this, right?" Jing Yu didn't understand.

Jing's mother was even happier: "You really think it's that simple. If it were that simple, the leader wouldn't have sent all the information from beginning to end. How difficult could it be to hand it over? Silly son, when will you learn to be more careful?"

"No, mom, I've been played around by someone..."

"You deserve it." Father Jing said mercilessly, "Do you feel wronged?"

"no……"

"I'm telling you, Jingyu, there is no such thing as empathy in this world. It's just a matter of stance. Let me ask you, if Cao Wei is just an ordinary person and he wants to open a restaurant, would you agree?"

Jingyu opened her mouth, but couldn't speak.

"You know, the result is not very good. Because the decision is not in your hands. Maybe, one day, he comes again and tells you that his family is really in trouble and wants to find a way out by opening a restaurant. You will probably help him out of sympathy. But your so-called help should be to report it and then discuss it. You can't interfere whether it succeeds or not. Right?"

“Yes…” Jing Yu lowered her head.

"So, Jing Yu, put away those worthless thoughts of yours. Ordinary people may place their hopes on your conscience. But there are so many fierce dragons crossing the river in this world. The truly smart and strong people will use their own methods to solve problems. This Cao Wei is a good example. You need to have the means and know when to advance and retreat..."

"How does he know when to advance or retreat?!"

Father Jing glared at him and said, "How can you know when to advance or retreat? Think about it carefully! If you can't figure it out, don't sleep tonight! Humph!"

After saying that, he slapped the table and left.

"Mom..." Jing Yu looked at her mother pitifully.

"Hey." Jing's mother sat down and patted her son's head: "You, you always do things without thinking. You don't know when to advance or retreat. If the leader didn't point you out, would you thank him for this?"

"Mom, what did you say..." Jing Yu stopped talking halfway and was stunned.

Yes, if he really didn't know the ins and outs, things would definitely go as the leader said. In the end, he would still have to give him advice. No matter what, he looked like he was doing his best to help him. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. What an outrageous guy! What a meticulous mind!

"I figured it out."

"Yeah, I figured it out." Jing Yu swallowed.

"I don't think you've figured it out yet."

Jing Yu:......

"He can cook for a big boss, and the boss has heard of his name. Don't you understand something here?"

"He can also contact the leader himself..."

"Yes, this is a typical example of knowing when to advance and when to retreat. Because you are in charge of this matter, he came to you. Yes, he could have gone to a senior leader or other person with whom he has a high probability of achieving this goal. But he went beyond the level. If everyone did this, it would be a mess. But some of our comrades often go beyond the level. It is easier said than done not to overstep the boundaries."

"And he did it. The most important thing is, when he was chatting with the leader, did you see his performance throughout the whole process? What was it like?"

"Like what?" Jing Yu suddenly had an idea: "Like a chef who is about to open a restaurant."

"That's it! He's just a chef who wants to open a restaurant. There's nothing else to talk about. But do you think his purpose is really that simple after all the twists and turns?"

"Absolutely not."

"So, your dad said you were in trouble."

"He dares to lie to his leader?!" Jing Yu's eyes widened.

"Oh, this is not a lie. You forgot, his woman is a Hong Kong businessman. If he adds something that does not belong to the cook to his plan, he can push it onto his woman. Don't investors from Hong Kong have the right to make conditions?"

If you can put forward conditions, then you are very qualified. There is no shortage of anything nowadays. As long as you put forward the conditions, everything can be negotiated.

"So, based on the known conditions, you are at an absolute disadvantage. Think about it carefully. Of course, don't think about confronting him. The leader gave you this opportunity just to train you. It will be a waste of your brain to deal with such a person, but if you can really use your brain, it will be of great help to you in the future."

"My dear son, think about it carefully." Jing's mother patted Jing Yu's head, turned around and went back to the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Jing's father pretended to sit on a chair and read a newspaper.

"Okay, you're holding the newspaper upside down. It's pitch black, what are you looking at!" Jing's mother took the newspaper from Jing's father in annoyance.

"How is it? Have you explained it clearly to that kid?" Jing's father asked hurriedly.

"I've made it clear." Jing's mother sighed, "Tell me, your son can't handle the fact that his boss has inexplicably given him this person. Even the most experienced ones can't handle this. He puts all the non-compliant things he wants on the table, and yet no one has any objections."

"This is probably what the leader wants to remind me of." Father Jing sighed: "After going out, everyone has seen the gap. Some things really can no longer be treated the same as before."

"So you are involved in this too!" Jing's mother said unhappily.

"That's good enough. It's not a bad thing. Cao is a man of sense. He should show his child how others do things." At this point, Jing's father paused and smacked his lips: "Tsk, you know what, the name Cao Wei is really worthy of its name."

"go with!"
