Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten
Chapter 429 - 393: Is This the Collapse of Morality or the Distortion of Human Nature? (2)
If that’s really the case...
Just how delicious are the meals at Dorami Kindergarten?
They must be as tasty as the rumors say...
After all, a few grilled skewers can make someone considering jumping into a lake to give up on it and find new life; a meal can restore appetite to a child suffering from eating disorder caused by the EB virus, proving its deliciousness.
Now then...
A longing unconsciously arose in Wei Kingdom’s heart.
He wanted to taste the meals at Dorami Kindergarten...
Thus...
Since you, Wan Zhenhong, act unkindly first, don’t blame him, Wei Guodong, for responding in kind.
He smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I’ve appreciated your gesture, but I will arrange for a suitable person to deliver the Dorami Kindergarten’s level assessment certificate. As for you two, I suggest you focus on more important work. After all, there’s plenty in our education bureau that requires us to work together..."
Wan Zhenhong: "..."
Xin Jinghui: "..."
Oh my~
Both of us got turned down...
Isn’t this too unscientific...
Wan Zhenhong pleaded, "Director Wei, come on! It’s just a convenient task for me, don’t trouble others with it. Besides, I have no other plans tomorrow, so I can go over there."
Xin Jinghui, not wanting to be outdone, quickly added, "Director Wei, same here. I’m very familiar with the assessment work at Dorami Kindergarten, let me deliver the certificate, and I can ensure everything goes smoothly, without delaying other important work."
A simple certificate delivery task was made to sound so important, like it was some major mission.
Director Xin, are you overestimating this task?
But commendably, you both acted well, though save it in front of me.
Wei Guodong was too lazy to bicker with them and directly revealed their potential real intention: "Be honest, you two are so eager to go to Dorami Kindergarten, isn’t it just for getting a taste of their meals?"
Wan Zhenhong was caught off guard by this straightforward question, awkwardly smiled and tried to explain, "Director Wei, you’re really wronging us. How could we just go to Dorami for the food? What do you take us for, foodies?"
Xin Jinghui showed a look of grievance and hurriedly responded, defending, "Yes, Director Wei, we’re purely considering work, how could you think that? Aren’t you letting us down?"
Oh~
Now they’re playing the victim...
"I’ve given you the chance, yet you’re still unwilling to tell me the truth, so I won’t force it." Wei Guodong didn’t buy their defense and calmly said, "But you should stop thinking about this, I’ll arrange for others to go."
Wan Zhenhong: "..."
Xin Jinghui: "..."
Wan Zhenhong tentatively asked, "Director Wei, if I may ask, who do you plan to arrange to go?"
"Me!" Wei Guodong’s lips curved slightly upward as he directly expressed his thoughts, "I might as well taste Dorami Kindergarten’s food, see if it’s as delicious as online rumors say!"
Wan Zhenhong: "..."
Xin Jinghui: "..."
"Isn’t this blatant ’mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’?"
Wan Zhenhong urgently said, "Director Wei, you can’t do this, how can this small task make you go personally?"
Xin Jinghui pleaded sincerely, "Yes, Director Wei, you handle countless tasks daily, how could we trouble you with such minor affairs? It’s enough for us to go."
Wei Guodong remained unmoved: "There’s no need to fight over this. I’ve already decided, I’ll personally complete this task. You should focus on your own work and put your energies into where we need it most."
Feeling helpless, Wan Zhenhong had no choice but to raise the "white flag" and confess, "Alright, Director Wei, I’ll tell you the truth. We do wish to seize this opportunity to go to Dorami Kindergarten and freeload a meal. So, please, fulfill our wish and let us go!"
Seeing Wan Zhenhong confess, Xin Jinghui too stopped insisting and sincerely said, "Director Wei, I’m also eager to taste Dorami Kindergarten’s meals, which is why I’m so eager to deliver the certificate. So, please, see that I mean it, and fulfill my wish!"
"I knew you two would fess up~" Wei Guodong said, "But the task of delivering the certificate is still mine to handle."
"Ah, come on..."
Upon hearing this, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui nearly fainted at Wei Guodong’s desk.
But shortly thereafter, like grasping at a lifeline, they implored Wei Guodong, "Director Wei, look, can you bring us along? Please, just for us, alright?"
Two forty-year-old rough men, acting coyly towards a male peer for a meal.
Is this the degeneration of morals?
Or is it the distortion of human nature?
Wei Guodong felt a shiver, goosebumps fell all over.
The experience of two grown men acting like girls in front of you, what a unique feeling?
Wei Guodong: Thanks for asking, breakfast is almost turning my stomach!
But under the relentless pleading and soft tactics from the two, Wei Guodong finally gave in, reluctantly agreeing to their request: "Alright, alright, I’ll take you two along..."
"Director Wei, you’re brilliant!"
Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui instantly lit up with delighted expressions.
"Alright, stop giving me compliments." Wei Guodong shook his head helplessly, then instructed, "Vice Director Wan, call Director Liang at Dorami, tell her we’ll deliver the certificate to their kindergarten tomorrow, and we’ll have lunch there, ask her to make arrangements."
Obeying the order, Wan Zhenhong immediately picked up the phone and called Liang Yinqiu.
The call quickly connected.
Liang Yinqiu’s gentle voice came from the other side: "Hello, Director Wan, what brings you to call me today? Any instructions?"
Wan Zhenhong cleared his throat: "Director Liang, I’m calling to notify you that tomorrow, our Director Wei, Director Xin, and I will visit to deliver the Dorami Kindergarten level assessment certificate. Meanwhile, we hope to use this opportunity to further understand the kindergarten’s actual situation and have lunch with you, are you available?"
Director Liang paused for a moment.
She never expected Director Wei and others to personally deliver the level assessment certificate to her kindergarten.
This totally breaks the precedent!
Hold on!
Does that mean...
The kindergarten has successfully been rated?!
That’s wonderful!
Liang Yinqiu, feeling as joyful as a 200-pound person, calmed down and said, "Oh, that’s great, we warmly welcome you, rest assured, we’ll ensure proper hospitality. Tomorrow noon, I’ll personally be at the kindergarten to welcome all of you."
Wan Zhenhong replied with a smile, "That’s great, Director Liang, see you tomorrow."
"Alright, Vice Director Wan, looking forward to your arrival. See you then." Liang Yinqiu pleasantly ended the call.
After hanging up, Wan Zhenhong turned to Wei Guodong: "Director Wei, I’ve communicated with Director Liang, she’s very welcoming for us to go tomorrow."
Wei Guodong nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, then tomorrow we’ll head to Dorami Kindergarten, complete the task of delivering the certificate, and enjoy the meals there."
Xin Jinghui said with a joyful face, "That’s great, finally we can have Chef Huang’s cooking again, Director Wei, let me tell you, Chef Huang’s skills are really excellent, you’ll want more after tasting!"
"But why do I hear someone say Dorami Kindergarten’s meals taste just average?"
As he spoke, Wei Guodong glanced meaningfully at Wan Zhenhong.
Wan Zhenhong blushed deeply, "Director Wei, your magnanimity can accommodate a boat, don’t hold a grudge against me. Wasn’t I just afraid you’d get attached to Chef Huang’s cooking? Didn’t expect you’d actually attach to it?"
Wei Guodong pretended to be serious and retorted, "Vice Director Wan, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming me?"
Wan Zhenhong: "..."
"I wouldn’t dare, Director Wei, how could I blame you? I just didn’t expect you’d be so interested in this meal."
With a laugh, he waved it off: "Alright, Old Wan, I’m just joking, look how nervous you got."
"Alright, everything is settled, go back to work now..."
Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui nodded, then stepped out of the director’s office to their respective posts to continue their work.
