Chapter 1109 A Meeting Across Time and Space

"Hey, what do you mean? You, Nan Yi, can come, but I, Cui Dake, can't?"

Cui Dake looked really neat today, with a middle-parted hair, and he applied some brand of hair oil on it, making it shiny and smooth.

If a fly stood on it, its feet would probably slip.

A white shirt that only cadres would wear, neatly ironed, with the lines of the clothes clearly visible. A black and gold fountain pen is in the pocket of the shirt. What is this? A symbol of status.

Just like the waist-worn pager in the 1980s and the mobile phone in the hands of the 1990s, it was extraordinary as soon as it appeared.

The watch on my wrist looks a bit old, but the polished mirror surface still sparkles under the scorching sun, and the leather shoes on my feet are polished to a shine.

At first glance, there is no trace of the country folk in the commune. If you take a closer look, you might think he is a cadre in a government agency.

Looking around the yard, only Liu Guangqi, who was wearing a white shirt and vest today, could be compared with Cui Dake today.

The host saw it immediately, and it was Ma Hua's father who came over, took out a Daqianmen cigarette from his other pocket, and politely handed him a cigarette.

"Excuse me, are you an official from my MCA factory? Come on, have a cigarette?"

When Ma Hua's father asked this, Lian Guangqi looked over. Cui Dake did look more like a cadre than he did, but he had no impression of him at all.

I don’t remember there being such a person in the factory, but judging from his dress taste, he must be a deputy section-level or section-level cadre.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I don't smoke. I'm a friend of this chef from the North City Machine Repair Factory. I'm free today, so I came to see him. It's okay. Since you're here, I'll be included in the banquet. Here's the money~!"

Cui Dake was quite open-minded. He didn't come here for free and took out a red envelope wrapped in red paper from his briefcase. The red envelope was bulging and looked quite real.

Ma Hua's father was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the cadre in front of him came to attend the wedding just because he was the cook. However, everyone who comes to a happy event is a guest, so based on the man's attitude, he had to be arranged to sit in the seat of honor.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. I can't accept it. You are the master's friend, which means you are Ma Hua's friend. How can you pay for helping me~!"

Ma Hua's father waved his hands politely. This cadre didn't know Ma Hua, but he came to the banquet to show his respect. Although his son drove a big car, he was an honest and upright man. Deep down, he was afraid of cadres and was afraid of offending them.

One more or one less red envelope is not a big deal, but adding a pair of chopsticks might offend someone. Who knows if he has other connections in the steel mill?

"He came here to help you work, but it's different for me. I can't come here empty-handed to eat. That's nothing. It's just a free meal. If you don't accept it, you really look down on me~!"

While speaking, Cui Dake implicitly belittled Nan Yi who was busy, and at the same time raised his own status. His raised chin immediately made the silent Nan Yi look down upon himself.

This is nothing. Even if you, Nan Yi, run to the ends of the earth, your current social status is lower than mine, Cui Dake. Even if I am not your leader, I can still suppress you.

Aren't the two just another kind of relationship like that between He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, who are born on opposite sides.

Nan Yi remained silent, doing his own work. He didn't explain, nor did he think of resisting. Anyway, no one was targeting him directly.

In his eyes, Cui Dake is now just a piece of shit. There is no need to say a few words to such a person.

As for friends, if it wasn't someone else's wedding banquet but his own, Nan Yi would have started to chase them away with a knife, telling them to get as far away as possible.

"Hey, Lao Ma, Lao Ma, since you're here, please accept it. Don't hurt our relationship!"

After all, it was Ma Hua's mother who came out to smooth things over. The main reason was that the red envelope was bulging and looked like a lot. Anyway, the son didn't know her, so it would be useless to accept it. It was a good thing that people gave money without asking for it.

"Hey, two dollars, Mr. Accountant, please write it down~!"

"Please, please, sit here. Dad, please pour me a cup of tea!" Ten 20-cent bills filled the red envelope a little, but it was already a lot. Family members could only get one dollar at most, and most of the neighbors could only get a few cents.

The purpose of a wedding is to have a happy occasion, but who wouldn’t be happy if they could receive a bit more gift money?

Cui Da did it on purpose, using two dollars to show off, especially in front of Nan Yi. No one else would understand that feeling.

Cui Dake never hesitates when it comes to small matters. Anything that can be settled with money is a small matter. Today, he wants to let these neighbors in this yard remember that he is rich, willing to spend money, and likes to make friends.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing that everyone was busy again and no one was paying attention to him, Cui Dake tucked the small leather bag under his armpit and staggered back to the stove.

"Nan Yi, I came here for your sake. Is it appropriate for you to say one word to me now?"

Not far away, seeing Cui Dake, with his greasy hair and powdered face, wandering to the stove again, He Yuzhu became cautious and quietly moved closer with his ears perked up.

"Did you tell him?"

Nan Yi, who was cutting vegetables, did not answer Cui Dake's words, but questioned Liang Ladi who was busy washing the pot behind him. Cui Dake didn't know this place and the people here didn't know him either.

There was only one possibility: Liang Ladi, who forced him to take this job, informed on him.

Nan Yi is very unhappy now, and you can tell from his tone. Liang Ladi knows that she is not someone that can deal with Cui Dake, but she still does this. What does she mean?
"Hey, hey, hey, this has nothing to do with Liang Ladi. You've been gone for so many days and haven't returned to the factory once. I was so worried. When I saw Liang Ladi dressed up beautifully and went out today, I knew she would come to see you~!"

Cui Dake, with his elbows on the table, no longer looked like a cadre. He winked at the angry Nan Yi. Seeing him so aggrieved, Cui Dake was unusually excited.

Cui Dake was sensible this time and did not expose Liang Ladi. He even helped cover up for her. Although Nan Yi did not believe this nonsense at all, he could not help but question Liang Ladi again.

The money has been spent today. No matter what, he has to meet the person, otherwise Cui Dake would try to flatter Liang Ladi in a roundabout way. The two are now on the same boat.

She introduced him to someone and he would stop bothering her. This was a unique tacit understanding between the two of them in their current situation. Of course, if the woman was not good-looking, that would be another matter.

After washing the pot, Liang Ladi listened to Cui Dake's nonsense and gave him a thumbs up with a smile, saying, "You are good, very smart."

"Tell me how you are doing in the steel mill now. If you are not making it, I will personally talk to Director Liu on your behalf and transfer you back~!"

After tapping his fingers on the chopping board to attract Nan Yi's attention, Cui Dake became distracted again. He was not in a hurry. The widow would appear sooner or later. He just wanted to see Nan Yi make a fool of himself.

Especially if I really ask him for help, he would wake up laughing in his dreams at night.

However, there was no however. Hearing Cui Dake starting to put on airs again, Nan Yi sneered and deliberately bumped into the table. Cui Dake, who was supporting his elbows on the table, staggered and almost fell.

"That's all you can do, Chief Cui. After I leave, the kitchen won't be able to handle it anymore. Sooner or later, you'll be back to where you came from~!"

Nan Yi was most disgusted by the smug look on his face, especially the look he had today, which was really disgusting to the core. Nan Yi would rather Cui Dake was in the kitchen and could no longer stand, so he asked him to go back.

I’m sorry, but it’s impossible now, no matter how much I beg for help.

"You are so boring now, Nan Yi. Today, I came to see you specially...!"

"I'll come and lend a hand, Chef Nan. See if there's any work I can do. Just tell me~!"

After finishing her noodles, Qin Huairu appeared again at the stove in the backyard. She rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms.

Cui Dake, who was about to continue ridiculing Nan Yi, suddenly widened his eyes.
