Chapter 81: Give Him
Xiao Fan suddenly felt a little nervous. The master had always been expressionless. Just by looking at his face, it was impossible to guess why he was looking for Old Zhang. ‘Could it be that the congee this morning is not to his liking?’
Xiao Fan really could not guess, so she could only look at the madam. Seeing that the madam’s expression was normal as she ate, Xiao Fan felt slightly relieved. As long as the madam was acting normal, it meant that the matter was not serious. Xiao Fan turned around and walked to the kitchen.
“Old Zhang, come here for a moment. The master is asking for you.”
Lao Zhang was very calm. He was very confident in his culinary skills. There was nothing he could not cook. He put down the things in his hands and followed Xiao Fan from the kitchen to the table.
“Master, you asked for me?”
Yao Zizhou put down his spoon and looked at Zhang Quan. He really did look like an honest man. It seemed that Zhang Quan had helped Ming Liuyi a lot in the past few weeks.
Yao Zizhou said to him, “The madam told me that while I was comatose, you had been taking care of us. Now that I’m awake, I want to express my gratitude to you.”
Old Zhang was flattered. Although he had helped the madam and master before, he was just a chef. How could he deserve the master’s gratitude?
Old Zhang calmed down and quickly said, “You’re welcome, Master. I was only doing what anyone should.”
Yao Zizhou nodded. ‘Very good. He’s not arrogant, but humble. His culinary skills are also good. No wonder Ming Liuyi would praise Old Zhang. He should be rewarded.’
Yao Zizhou said to Old Zhang, “You’re welcome. If you have any difficulties or wishes, you can tell me. As long as I can grant it, it won’t be a problem.”
Old Zhang thought about it and decided to decline. After all, the master was already giving him a good salary and a bonus. Just as he was about to decline, Ming Liuyi put down the spoon in her hand and looked up at Old Zhang, smiling.
“Old Zhang, I already said that you will be blessed. Now that the good fortune is here, what are you waiting for?”
Hearing Ming Liuyi’s words, Old Zhang’s face showed an awkward expression. For a moment, he did not know whether he should bring it up or not, and he did not know if it would be too much to ask for. He could only look at Ming Liuyi who sat beside Yao Zizhou.
Ming Liuyi nodded to Old Zhang, indicating for him to speak. Seeing this, Old Zhang was relieved. Since the madam had given her cue, there must be no problem.
After thinking for a while, Old Zhang said, “Master, my son just graduated, and his job isn’t very stable. Can you give him a job instead? I would be indebted to you.”
Ming Liuyi heard Old Zhang’s words and could not believe it. Yao Zizhou rarely rewarded anyone, let alone Old Zhang, and this was all he wanted?
Yao Zizhou did not expect Zhang to make such a simple request, so he said slowly, “Alright, I’ll ask my secretary to arrange a job for your son today. We will also give him a house in one of the Yao family’s properties to facilitate his commute to work.”
When Old Zhang heard this, he was very surprised. It was already wonderful enough to get a job for his son, but the master even wanted to grant him a house. This was really too much! Old Zhang was a little scared and immediately shook his head.
“Master, that would be too much. It’s already good enough to have a job. A house is too expensive.”
Ming Liuyi also gave Yao Zizhou a big thumbs-up in her heart. As expected of the Yao Corporation’s president, he was so generous in doing things. He just gave away a house, which was something that many people dreamed of.
Ming Liuyi took the opportunity to say, “What about Xiao Fan? She was bullied by that Xiao Lan.”
When Xiao Fan heard Ming Liuyi’s words, she immediately looked at Yao Zizhou with a warm gaze. She did not know what he would reward her with.
Yao Zizhou frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said mildly, “I’ll give you a house as well. You’ll be neighbors from now on.”
When Xiao Fan heard this, she almost jumped up in excitement. When she heard about the reward for Old Zhang, Xiao Fan was very envious. She did not expect the madam to want a reward for her as well. Happiness always came so suddenly.
Xiao Fan chirped, “Thank you, Master!”
Ming Liuyi did not plan to let it end like this. Zhang Quan and Xiao Fan already had their rewards, so of course she could not forget Zhao Qiang. During that period, Zhao Qiang had helped her and Yao Zizhou a lot.
Ming Liuyi continued, “What about Zhao Qiang’s reward? Zhao Qiang has been taking care of you with all his heart and soul. He’s still helping you bathe every day.”
