Chapter 214 Uninvited Guest
Gu Dongxing only cleaned the fish by scaling and gutting it, then he went to the team’s headquarters.
Jiang ngyu was still handling the food when Zhang Qiaoqiao arrived: "Jiang ngyu, I’m here to help."
When she ca, she also brought along bowls, chopsticks, and stools—everyone knew that no family would have so many of them, so everyone brought their own.
Then, Luo Xiuyu, Qin Xiufang, and Liu Yui also ca, and they brought their children as well.
Apart from Zhang Qiaoqiao who didn’t have children, the other three families brought one or two children each.
Jiang ngyu was a bit stunned: she hadn’t counted the children.
Could they accommodate so many people?
Liu Yui, holding a child’s hand, was a bit embarrassed: "There was no one to look after the children at ho, so I brought them over."
Jiang ngyu could only accept: "It’s okay, just a few more pairs of chopsticks."
Not until it was ti to eat did she understand, it wasn’t just about a few more pairs of chopsticks.
Next, the family mbers of three mid-level managerial staff ca over to help, which was an unwritten rule: when a family hosts, the invited family mbers co over to assist.
The family mbers of the three mid-level managers, one surnad Lin, one surnad Li, and one surnad Gao. Jiang ngyu noticed that the one surnad Gao showed her so barely concealed hostility.
Jiang ngyu found it very strange, she was eting her for the first ti, wasn’t she? Where did this hostility co from?
After thinking it over, she was sure it was their first encounter, and even in her past life, she had never t her, so she let it go.
To Jiang ngyu’s dismay, each of the three brought two children with them.
In this way, there were already ten children. Jiang ngyu had to take out two more chickens and ducks for cooking, preparing to seat three tables.
Fortunately, everyone brought their own bowls, chopsticks, and stools, otherwise, she wouldn’t know where to find that many bowls, chopsticks, and stools.
However, with the help of the first four family mbers, the later three mid-level managerial Madams couldn’t find much to help with, and could only do things like preparing the tables—because even their own houses didn’t have enough tables.
In the end, it was naturally those three mid-level managerial Madams who borrowed the tables from the cafeteria.
Jiang ngyu suddenly realized a problem: the pots at ho, including the ones she bought and stored in her space, were not big enough to cook als for so many people.
Seeing her staring blankly with the pot in hand, Qin Xiufang chuckled: "Usually when everyone hosts guests, the staple food is fetched by each person from the cafeteria, no family’s pot can cook enough rice for so many people."
Jiang ngyu then relaxed, but she still kneaded a large amount of dough to wait, frying over a hundred scallion pancakes.
"Jiang ngyu, I heard that you invited Vice Factory Director Yan?" Qin Xiufang asked.
Jiang ngyu shook her head: "I only invited you four, uh, four families, Gu Dongxing did the inviting, it seems to be for middle managent and above."
The family mbers looked at each other and sighed: Middle managent and above, doesn’t that include Vice Factory Director Yan?
Qin Xiufang whispered to Jiang ngyu: "Madam Wen iling has that person living at her place. Be careful she might bring her."
Jiang ngyu was initially confused, then she quickly understood that the person Xiufang referred to was Ye Rushui, who was coveting Gu Dongxing.
She said indifferently: "I didn’t invite her, she surely wouldn’t co uninvited, would she?"
Qin Xiufang nodded: "If neither of you invited her, then she probably wouldn’t be so shaless as to show up."
As it turned out, they had all underestimated the thickness of Ye Rushui’s skin.
It wasn’t until the food was nearly ready and the rich scent of at wafted through the yard that Wen iling finally arrived, fashionably late.
Seeing Ye Rushui, who was arm-in-arm with Wen iling, Jiang ngyu felt a wave of frustration: she hadn’t expected Ye Rushui to have the audacity to show up uninvited.
