The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Suggestions for studying Chapter 74

Although Li Huaide felt that Li Qin had ulterior motives, he was not offended.

After all, everyone has their own selfish desires.

He himself was no exception.

Li Huaide is a qualified leader. As long as Li Qin can get things done and has no ulterior motives, that's fine.

"That puts my mind at ease."

Li Qin chose to reveal his channels in order to lay the groundwork beforehand.

In this way, if he takes out some meat from time to time in the future, no one will suspect him, and he won't have to explain himself repeatedly.

After finishing their business, the two began to chat casually.

However, the relationship between the two became even closer at this time.

They also spoke more casually.

After a while, Li Huaide suddenly glanced at his watch, then smiled and said to Li Qin;

"It's almost lunchtime now. This is your first time at the steel rolling mill, so you can try the food in the factory canteen with me."

Originally, Li Qin had not planned to eat at the steel mill canteen, but since Li Huaide had invited him, he would not refuse.

"In that case, I'll take advantage of Uncle Li's connections and try the food at the steel mill's canteen."

Li Huaide was part of the leadership team and was directly in charge of logistics, so he naturally wouldn't skimp on food for himself.

Although he couldn't eat fancy meals every day, he would have the kitchen prepare several dishes for him separately each day.

Walking to the cafeteria, Li Qin thought of He Yuzhu again;

"I wonder if I'll see He Yuzhu later. It would be interesting if I did."

It just disappointed Li Qin.

After the petrification curse on He Yuzhu was lifted, he quickly regained his mobility.

He didn't care about anything else and hurried back to the kitchen.

Then, amidst the strange looks of the crowd, he picked out the splinters stuck in his hands one by one.

Despite his injury, he still had no intention of taking leave.

After all, taking leave will result in a day's pay being deducted.

He Yuzhu now is not as tough as he was later.

However, He Yuzhu made a mistake: he wanted to continue working, but the canteen supervisor told him to go back.

Because at this moment, He Yuzhu's hands, body, and face were covered with large and unsightly boils.

The cafeteria is responsible for cooking, and nobody knows if He Yuzhu's illness is contagious, so how could they dare to let him cook?

What if a problem occurs?

And so, He Yuzhu was asked to take leave.

Therefore, when Li Qin followed Li Huaide to the first canteen, he did not encounter He Yuzhu.

However, he noticed that the system notifications were still coming in continuously.

It is clear that although He Yuzhu is not here, his longing for him has not diminished at all.

Li Qin felt no sympathy or pity for He Yuzhu, except for remarking that He Yuzhu was a qualified "oddball".

At first, he did feel a little bit of pity for He Yuzhu because of her past experiences.

But after these few encounters with He Yuzhu, Li Qin had long since abandoned any pity he had felt for her.

"Xiao Qin, try the food here, it tastes pretty good. After we finish eating, I'll take you to get your accommodation sorted out."

Li Huaide led Li Qin straight to the small restaurant on the second floor.

Four dishes were already laid out on the table.

Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes!

Although it's called a meat dish, it actually contains very little meat; it's mostly vegetables.

However, it was already a meal that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Li Qin didn't stand on ceremony and started eating casually.

If Li Huaide were to eat all four dishes by himself, there would naturally be a lot left over, which would eventually be divided up by the cafeteria chef.

Now, with Li Qin added, there was nothing left at all.

They were all eaten.

"I didn't expect the food in the cafeteria to taste so good."

After putting down his chopsticks, Li Qin said with some surprise.

Although it lacks modern high-tech seasonings, the taste is still quite good, at least not much worse than the food he makes using the Life Magic Spell.

Li Huaide said casually at this moment;

"Now that you're a steel mill employee, you'll have plenty of opportunities to eat in the canteen."

After saying this, Li Huaide suddenly realized what he meant.

Li Qin was just an employee, not a leader, so even when he came to the canteen, he could only eat the communal dishes.

There is a significant difference between cooking in a large pot and cooking on a small stove.

Thinking of this, Li Huaide immediately continued;

"From now on, whenever you're in the factory and it's time to eat, come find me and I'll take you to eat together."

Faced with his kindness, Li Qin immediately smiled and nodded;

"Uncle Li, I appreciate your kindness."

Although he verbally agreed, he didn't actually mean it that way.

Although the food prepared for the leaders was good, it was just so-so.

His ring contains plenty of delicious food, so there's absolutely no need for him to have special treatment.

If it weren't to avoid arousing suspicion from others, he wouldn't even want to come to the cafeteria.

After finishing their meal, the two returned to the office.

Li Qin, being very perceptive, first made a cup of tea for Li Huaide, and then unceremoniously made a cup of tea for himself as well.

Li Huaide just smiled at his behavior but didn't say anything.

The tea in Li Huaide's office was certainly not the one Li Qin had sent last night.

After carefully tasting the tea, Li Qin discovered that the tea was significantly inferior to the tea he made himself.

However, it is better than the tea commonly found elsewhere.

It's clear that it's not a cheap product.

The two chatted idly while sipping tea.

Suddenly, Li Huaide put down his teacup and looked at Li Qin;

"Xiao Qin, you're still young. If you have the opportunity, you should study more."

Although his words seemed somewhat abrupt, Li Qin discerned a deeper meaning in them.

Li Qin immediately put down his teacup, a look of regret on his face:

"Uncle Li, you know my situation. If I had the chance, I would like to learn more, but unfortunately I am now..."

Although the words were not finished, the meaning was already very clear.

Li Huaide was very satisfied with Li Qin's intelligence and nodded in approval.

"In response to the national policy, the factory has also set up a night school. I will give you a certificate later, and you can go and attend the classes."

If you can pass the exam smoothly, you will be able to get a junior high school diploma.

Li Qin immediately sat up straight and nodded to Li Huaide;

"Thank you, Uncle Li!"

The purpose of establishing night schools was to improve the literacy rate of the people, and later a junior high school section was gradually added.

After passing the exam, you can obtain a junior high school graduation certificate, which is officially recognized.

It simply cannot be used in high schools or vocational schools.

Most importantly, with this diploma, one can transfer to an administrative position.

And there's one more thing;

That is, after obtaining a high school diploma from night school, if you perform well, you can use the recommendation quota to study at a higher institution of learning.

In other words, when Li Huaide issued a certificate to allow Li Qin to study at night school, he genuinely wanted to cultivate Li Qin's talent.

Instead of simply treating Li Qin as a tool.

Although Li Qin had little interest in power, he was very interested in acquiring the power of emotions.

Occupying a high position would make it easier for him to access emotional power.

That's why he expressed his own wishes after understanding Li Huaide's words.
