Chapter 48 The Benefits of Having Someone Behind You

Seeing their behavior, Qiao Yuemei could guess that she would not get any results in this large office.

Qiao Yuemei brought Gu Wan out directly, intending to find another way.

I saw Qi Bin standing at the intersection over there, as if he was waiting for someone.

As a result, when he saw Qiao Yuemei and Gu Wan, mother and daughter, his eyes lit up and he immediately walked over.

"how's it going?"

"Don't mention it. Those people said it never happened." Qiao Yuemei was a little depressed.

After all, she made such a solemn promise when she was at home, but now nothing has happened, which makes people think that she is just bragging.

However, Qi Bin looked calm and said, "Aunt Qiao, wait a little longer. Maybe the news was decided by the leaders and has not yet been notified to the ordinary staff."

Is this possible?
There was no point in going back now anyway, so they just waited here with a nonchalant attitude.

Less than ten minutes later, a man suddenly walked out of the big office. It was Yao Zhiqing, whom Gu Wan had greeted before.

Yao Meiqi walked directly in front of them and said, "Aunt Qiao, Gu Wan, please go in and take a look. The leadership has issued a new notice and we can officially start recruiting."

When Qiao Yuemei heard this, she was shocked. Is this really the result?

He was very happy and gave Qi Bin a thumbs up: "Nephew, you are really amazing. You can even guess the leader's thoughts."

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly pulled Gu Wan into the same office.

Yao Meiqi, on the other hand, stared at Qi Bin for a full minute before she smiled and said, "Maybe, you're just too amazing."

This time when Qiao Yuemei and Gu Wan entered the office again, she was obviously much more enthusiastic towards the staff inside. She took the initiative to tell them that today was just registration and they would have to wait until tomorrow when the leaders gathered to show their skills in front of them to know whether they could be hired.

"This is as it should be. I'm not biased as a mother. My daughter's cooking skills are much better than mine."

But when other people saw them, they just thought Qiao Yuemei was bragging through the filter of being a real mother.

Her daughter looks like a fair and clean young lady, it's almost impossible to say that she is not from the country.

You say this little girl’s cooking is delicious?
Well, let's let her show off her skills in front of the leader tomorrow and then we'll know her strength.

Early the next morning, Qiao Yuemei took Gu Wan to the commune, but this time Li Dajun refused to accept Gu's family's eggs no matter what.

He pulled the ox cart to earn some honest money, which could supplement his family income during the busy farming season.

The old man took care of his family and did not take up his time to earn work points. Ten eggs for a round trip to the commune was really too much.

Gu Wan didn't continue to push the favor around. She knew that she just had to keep the favor in mind.

Along the way, Qiao Yuemei was still a little nervous and kept asking Gu Wan: "Wan Wan, have you decided what dish to cook?"

To prepare food for leaders and to suit the characteristics of the times, the dishes should be delicious with less oil.

So Gu Wan planned to make some cold dishes and add a few special stir-fries.

Knowing her mother's nervousness, she asked the same question over and over again.

Gu Wan didn't mind being long-winded and answered seriously over and over again.

But I felt warm in my heart. This is what a real mother is like. She always puts her daughter's affairs first. This time, Qiao Yuemei and Gu Wan went directly to the office of Secretary Zhao of the commune. "Are you here just for the small kitchen?"

By the way, Secretary Zhao had eaten the food cooked by Qiao Yuemei before and had a very good impression of it. At this moment, he subconsciously thought that she was the one who would compete for the position of chef.

Who knew Qiao Yuemei smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, we came here to ask you if the commune's small kitchen is looking for a chef? My daughter's cooking is delicious, why not give her a chance to try."

Hearing Qiao Yuemei's words, Secretary Zhao couldn't help but look at Gu Wan who was standing next to her.

Just like the first reaction of the previous staff, Secretary Zhao didn’t think Gu Wan could cook.

But what Qiao Yuemei said was not bad. It seems that we should give people a chance to try?
Secretary Zhao couldn't help but complain about someone in his heart. You said you were living in Gu's house and wanted to find a job for them to thank them.

It would be better to make it clear who this position is for. If it was Qiao Yuemei, Secretary Zhao would have agreed without hesitation.

But because it was her daughter, Secretary Zhao hesitated, wondering whether the young person was reliable.

So the three of them moved to the commune canteen, which was the only place with a kitchen at the moment, and the small kitchen was still under construction.

So when they entered, the first thing they saw was Chef Li and his livid face.

Of course, when facing Secretary Zhao, Chef Li was still normal, but when facing Qiao Yuemei and her daughter...

Gu Wan pretended not to see it. Secretary Zhao said that she could use whatever vegetables and meat there were in the kitchen, but she had to be able to make four dishes and a soup.

After all, this was just a big canteen in the commune, not in the province or city. In Gu Wan's opinion, it was even worse than the canteens in the big factories in the county.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. Is Secretary Zhao deliberately making things difficult for her?

However, she didn't expect that this little challenge was not a problem at all for Gu Wan. She easily prepared four dishes and a soup.

And it completely meets the tastes of leaders of this era, with less oil and better taste.

After the four dishes and one soup were ready, Gu Wan invited Secretary Zhao and Chef Li to taste them first.

Chef Li's face became even uglier now. This daughter of Qiao Yuemei was even more powerful than herself.

If this guy called Gu Wan is really allowed to stay, will the commune canteen still have a place to stand in the future?
Before Chef Li could react, Secretary Zhao spoke up: "You are a really good cook. Okay, the small kitchen will be under your charge from now on."

Then Secretary Zhao told Gu Wan that the commune would build the small kitchen in about two days.

Two days later, she just needs to arrive at the commune on time to report for work.

Not to mention Qiao Yuemei, even Gu Wan was stunned. He didn't expect this to be accomplished so quickly.

"Secretary Zhao, are you serious? You're not joking, are you?"

Fortunately, Secretary Zhao did not feel that Qiao Yuemei's words were an offense to him. He smiled and made the final decision: "I am the head of the commune after all. If I often go back on my words, will anyone listen to me in the future?"

The Gu family's affairs were not only a hot topic in the Red Flag Brigade, but Secretary Zhao had also heard some of it in the commune.

I only knew that Gu Wan came back from the provincial capital, but I didn't expect him to have such abilities.

Thinking in this way, Gu Wan has lost a fake daughter who does nothing and gained a real daughter who is capable and talented. It is a real gain for Gu Wan to care about his family.

After Qiao Yuemei brought Gu Wan home, she couldn't wait to announce the good news to her family. Naturally, Gu's family was really happy to hear it.
