The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 189 Assistant Chen

Qin Huai met a new friend on the plane.

An assistant to a domineering president.

how to say.

There are indeed all kinds of weird people in first class.

This time, Qin Huai did not watch the teaching video when he was on the plane. Instead, he used his mobile phone to record the problems and specific analysis he encountered when making the Sanding Bao.

I listed several specific questions and planned to ask Huang Shengli and Zheng Da directly after returning to Huangji.

Because he was remembering it while thinking, Qin Huai couldn't help but recite it aloud while remembering.

He had this problem when he was in school. At first, he was memorizing English words by writing them down and reciting them aloud. Later, he would express his thoughts by mouthing them when doing questions, and would mumble while writing when writing essays.

In general, the more you concentrate, the higher the probability of speaking it out.

When analyzing a specific problem on the plane, Qin Huai couldn't help but muttered aloud, and his words were heard by the assistant sitting next to him.

The assistant keenly extracted key words such as "san ding bao", "meat filling", "time", "strength" and "dough" from Qin Huai's long string of mumblings, and concluded that Qin Huai might be a professional pastry chef or a related practitioner, and then started a conversation with him.

People who can be the president's assistant usually have good eloquence, and this assistant is the best among them. Qin Huai even feels that Assistant Chen's eloquence is comparable to Gong Liang's and they are evenly matched.

He has a gentle voice, clear logic, distinct enunciation, and polite speech. When he suddenly tries to get close to you, it doesn't feel abrupt. Chatting with him just feels like a spring breeze.

The short journey allowed Qin Huai and Assistant Chen to forge a not-so-deep friendship. They added each other on WeChat and went to the high-speed rail station together.

Assistant Chen's destination was the same as Qinhuai's, which was also Gusu. According to Assistant Chen, he came to Gusu specifically to buy cakes for the boss's wife.

His boss had a son last year, and he is currently in a period of career growth, which is a good thing. However, his wife has been in a bad mood since giving birth, and the boss has been very worried about this.

A few days ago, the boss's wife suddenly said that she wanted to eat Suzhou-style dim sum from Gusu. It happened that he had just finished meeting with a client in Shan City and was going to Gusu on a business trip, so the boss asked him to buy some special dim sum in Gusu.

It must be distinctive.

Although Assistant Chen has excellent business capabilities, he is not a native of Suzhou and his understanding of Suzhou-style dim sum is only superficial.

Friends who travel frequently know that the most taboo when dining out is to avoid bad food. When it comes to so-called recommendations from netizens and public reviews, they don’t trust them if they can, and Assistant Chen is no exception.

Although he had looked up information and restaurants online in advance, he still had some doubts in his mind. He happened to hear Qin Huai muttering about Sanding Bao on the plane and thought that Qin Huai must be a professional, so he took the initiative to approach Qin Huai and chat with him, wanting to hear the professional's recommendation.

"If you want to eat high-quality, authentic Suzhou-style dim sum, you have to go to Zhiweiju in Hangzhou to buy it," Qin Huai recommended earnestly, "especially if you are buying it for your boss's wife. Zhiweiju is well-known, has good quality control, and has special high-end dim sum gift boxes, which is the most suitable for you."

Assistant Chen:?

"I'm not saying that there aren't good dim sum chefs in Gusu. There are some, like Zheng Si... There's a very famous pastry shop at the entrance of a certain community, but that pastry shop is under renovation and hasn't opened yet. The dim sum chef is now working at Huang Ji, and they only sell two kinds of dim sum every day, which is very limited and doesn't meet your requirements."

"The skills of the white-case dim sum chefs in other pastry shops and even large restaurants are definitely not as good as those of Zhiweiju. Although Zhiweiju is in Hangzhou, it is the most famous white-case dim sum restaurant in the industry, and there are many dim sum chefs who are good at Suzhou-style pastries."

"As long as you are willing to spend money and find a way to make an appointment in advance, I believe it will not be difficult to buy a dim sum gift box that meets your boss's requirements."

After hearing what Qin Huai said, Assistant Chen showed an understanding expression and nodded: "I see, thank you Master Qin for reminding me. It's different with the advice of professionals like you. Fortunately, I met you on the plane today, otherwise I would have been running around in Gusu like a headless fly for the next two days."

Qin Huai dragged his suitcase and saw that the ticket gate had already started checking tickets. He waved his hand to say goodbye and also to express his appreciation: "It's just a small favor, it's my duty."

"Assistant Chen, my car has already started checking tickets so I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, you can ask me on WeChat. I also have some friends in the industry and it's no problem for me to recommend restaurants to you. Bye."

"Bye." Assistant Chen waved with a smile.

Qin Huai checked his ticket and got on the bus. After he sat down, he realized that he had been chatting with Assistant Chen all the way, but he didn't even know the other person's name.

This can't be blamed on him. It's mainly because Assistant Chen is very eloquent and has a lot of experience at a young age. As the president's assistant, he is highly valued by the boss. He flies all over the world all year round and is well-informed and can talk about anything.

Assistant Chen started the conversation with a purpose, and he controlled the topic throughout the conversation. Although Qin Huai was a master of lies, he was far inferior to professionals like Assistant Chen in social skills. He happily chatted with Assistant Chen all the way without thinking much. In the end, he found out that Assistant Chen wanted to ask him about the restaurant and thought that Assistant Chen was really overly cautious.

If you want to know which restaurants serve good dim sum, just ask directly on the plane. It is fate that we meet by chance and sit next to each other. Qin Huai is not the kind of person who is not good at socializing. If Assistant Chen asks directly, Qin Huai will definitely answer.

After going through so much trouble and going through so much trouble to ask, Qin Huai could only say that these assistants were indeed very careful and cautious in their work.

Qin Huai sent a message to Huang Jia while sitting on the high-speed train, telling him that he would arrive in Gusu soon and would be able to go to work on time tomorrow, and would go to Huang's later after dropping off his luggage.

Huang Jia told Qin Huai not to worry and just rest at home and come to Huang's tomorrow.

40 minutes later, Qin Huai opened the door of the rented house and saw the familiar smart furniture in the house, the spotless living room, the washed fruits and neatly arranged snacks on the coffee table. He actually felt the joy of being home.

The only downside was that there were no cheese sticks in the fridge.

Qin Huai decisively placed an order for takeout.

While waiting for the takeaway, Qin Huai sat on the sofa and browsed his Moments.

The first post on WeChat Moments that caught my eye was from Gong Liang. I don’t know which restaurant in Beijing attracted Gong Liang, but he enjoyed his meal in Beijing. Every day, he took his wife and children out to eat, drink, play, check in, take photos and post them on WeChat Moments. He is still in Beijing and hasn’t returned yet. Judging from the situation, he can probably eat for another week.

There was destined to be no one next door to Qinhuai during this week.

Qin Huai silently gave a thumbs up.

The second circle of friends is from Assistant Chen. It is a very standard work circle of friends, forwarding links for product promotions.

Qin Huai took a quick look. It was a delicious soy sauce with a very simple name, something he had never heard of.

Give it a thumbs up too.

The third friend is Ouyang. Ouyang seldom posts on WeChat Moments. Usually he posts links like those forwarded by Assistant Chen, about lonely elderly people in the community, and creating a civilized and hygienic city.

This time’s circle of friends is different. This time’s circle of friends is a bit disjointed.

[This time, I will take back everything I lost.]
Qin Huai was a little confused, but still gave a thumbs up.

There is nothing interesting to scroll down. My college classmates are complaining about how hard work is and how iced American coffee is more miserable than their lives.

Residents in Sanmalu Community collected donations to get toilet paper.

Grandma Qin took a picture of the free-range chickens in the yard.

Qin Xiuli sent her unfortunate son the horrible monthly exam report card.

Order... Never mind, I won’t order this.

Qin Huai was frantically liking posts on WeChat Moments like he was reviewing memorials to the emperor. By the time he saw Dong Shi’s post about clocking out from get off work last night, the cheese stick takeaway had arrived.

Qin Huai ate two first, put the rest in the refrigerator, packed up and went to Huang Ji to check it out.

Find out what to eat in the evening.

As soon as I went out, I met a regular customer of Huang Ji in the community.

"Master Qin is back from Shan City!" The regular customer greeted Qin Huai warmly when he saw him. "How was Shan City? Was it fun?"

Judging from the tone, if you didn't know, you would think Qin Huai was going to Shan City for a trip.

"Very good, I'm back from vacation and will be back to work tomorrow. From tomorrow on, I will no longer make five-piece buns, but only three-piece buns. If you like them, remember to buy them at noon."

"Of course, of course. As long as it's made by Master Qin, we like it. Five Dings and three Dings are the same."

It was 20 minutes later when Qin Huai walked to the door of Huang's.

There's nothing I can do, the neighbors are too enthusiastic.

Just as Qin Huai was about to step in, he was stopped by someone. "Master Qin, what a coincidence, I just met you here. I just came to Huang's to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you at the door."

Qin Huai turned around and found that it was Assistant Chen.

Qin Huai was a little surprised: "Looking for me?"

Assistant Chen smiled and said, "Yes, our boss asked me to come to Gusu to find you. He sent me a message right after you got on the high-speed train. I thought it was such a coincidence, and I was afraid that we looked too similar, so I came to Huang's to confirm. I didn't expect to run into you at the door."

Qin Huai signaled Assistant Chen to go in and not stand at the door of Huang Ji. After entering, Qin Huai said something to the waiter at the door and led Assistant Chen to find a seat in the corner by the window.

"Are you Master Qinhuai? The one who moored overnight at Qinhuai Near the Qinhuai Restaurant." Assistant Chen confirmed first.

Qin Huai nodded.

"You run a community canteen in Shan City called Yunzhong Canteen."

Qin Huai continued to nod.

"That's it." Assistant Chen said with a smile, "Do you remember what I told you on the plane, that our boss had a baby boy last year? When our boss's son turned one last year, we didn't have a big celebration because the boss's wife was not in good health. Our boss plans to have a big birthday party next year to invite relatives and friends."

"Your birthday is on March 3th of next year. Our boss has heard about your cooking skills from a friend and would like to invite you to City A to be in charge of the snacks for the birthday party."

Qin Huai was stunned.

His first reaction was to search in his mind who was Assistant Chen’s boss’ friend.

Xu Tuqiang?
Grandma Ding?
Uncle Qian?
Wang Genqiang?
Or Gong Liang?

No, who is Assistant Chen’s boss?

"I'm sorry, this is indeed a bit sudden. I would like to ask, who is your boss..."

"Our boss's surname is Han, and his name is Han Guishan. You can go online to find his name, whether it is the company's official website or the company's registered information. Our company is called Good Taste, and we mainly sell soy sauce."

Qin Huai was still a little confused. Such an unfamiliar name: "Then your boss's friend..."

"Our boss's friend is a gourmet who is very good at eating. You probably don't know him yet. Today, our boss's friend came to Shan City to taste your cooking skills, but isn't it a coincidence that you came to Gusu today?"

"Our boss got the news from his friend that you came to Gusu today to exchange ideas and learn from Huangji. He asked me to contact you and ask if you are interested in taking this job."

Qin Huai was not averse to this kind of lucrative private work. The fact that the boss of a wealthy listed company was willing to send his assistant from afar and ask him to be responsible for the snacks at his son's first birthday party was in itself a recognition of Qin Huai's craftsmanship.

As long as the price was right, Qin Huai felt that there was nothing to be pretentious about.

"That should be... No, has your boss ever eaten the snacks I made?" Qin Huai asked.

Assistant Chen shook his head: "Probably not."

"It should be fine on my end for March, but is your boss sure you want to order it without having eaten or tasted it?"

"Hasn't his friend eaten it too?"

Do you trust your friends’ recommendations?

Assistant Chen said, "As long as you have this intention, we can discuss the details later. As for the food tasting you mentioned, once this matter is finalized, our boss will definitely invite you to come over or he will come over to do it."

"We just added each other on WeChat. I'll contact you on WeChat about the follow-up."

"By the way, thank you very much for your recommendation today. I just contacted Zhiweiju, and they can indeed customize Suzhou-style dim sum gift boxes. All you need to do is make an appointment 5 days in advance."

"I won't bother you, Master Qin. I'll leave first."

After speaking, Assistant Chen stood up and left in a hurry.

Judging from the speed at which he walks, Assistant Chen must have a lot of work to do today.

Qin Huai:......

Is the work efficiency so high?
In just over an hour, Assistant Chen completed two important tasks assigned by his boss, while he only managed to go home and order takeout.

Professional assistants are different.

but……

Assistant Chen, you still haven't told me what your name is.

Just as Qin Huai was sighing, the game prompt sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering the side quest [Assistant Chen's Wish], please check it in the quest panel."

Qin Huai:?
Qin Huai looked around, there was no one, so he just looked around.

Side tasks:

2. [Assistant Chen's Wish]: As a professional CEO assistant, Chen Gong is determined to defeat all his peers and become the universal assistant in everyone's mind, so that the boss's needs are his needs and the boss's wishes are his wishes. Please help Chen Gong realize his boss's wish and use snacks to make the boss shine at Han Youxin's birthday party.

Mission rewards: [Chen Gong's dream], [Chen Gong's affirmation], popularity +2000
Qin Huai:?
What an abstract task.

Who is Han Youxin?
The big fat son that Chen Gong’s boss Han Guishan had last year?

The relationship between these characters is too complicated.

Where can you find such a capable and loyal assistant?
Also, why is the wish of a CEO’s assistant to have his boss shine with dim sum at his son’s birthday party?
Everyone in your company, from the boss to the assistant to the boss's son, doesn't seem normal.

Qin Huai flipped through the illustrated book with a lot of questions in his mind.

Sure enough, another one was unlocked.

Name: Chen Gong

Species: Unknown

Status: Awakening

Dream: 0/?

Recipe: None
Gift: None
If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Gong's condition is the same as Gong Liang's, both are lucky spirits who are in the middle few lives and have a high probability of successfully surviving the tribulation without external interference.

only……

Chen Gong is a little more abstract than Gong Liang.

At this moment Qin Huai finally understood why Chen Huihong and Luo Jun said that the state of the spirits in the middle lives, especially the mental state, was not very normal.

It's indeed not normal.

Qin Huai thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Chen Gong.

Qin Huai: Assistant Chen, I thought about it and it would be a bit time-consuming to wait for your boss to come and finalize it. Are you free tomorrow? Do you have any snacks you like? How about you come over tomorrow and I'll make a few for you and you can try them first?

Chen Gong was sending a message to his boss, reporting on his work progress and that he had successfully met Qin Huai to discuss the birthday party:... ?
Master Qin is so enthusiastic?

Chen Gong felt a little guilty because of Qin Huai's enthusiastic words.

He didn't lie, he just changed the order.

He first received the task of hosting his boss' birthday party. That morning, he went to Yunzhong Canteen and learned that Qin Huai was going to Gusu, so he booked a flight urgently. Unexpectedly, he was booked on the same flight and sat next to each other.

In order to prevent Qin Huai from having a preconceived bad influence on him, Chen Gong carried out the subsequent operations to make the chance encounter a real chance encounter.

Chen Gong thought about it and replied.

Chen: If it's okay, then thank you, Master Qin [smiley face] [smiley face] [smiley face]
