Chapter 645 - 523: Not Everyone Is Treated the Same
Huang Jun followed closely behind, trying to dissuade him: "Yes, Mayor Yang, how can we allow this? You’re a guest. How can we let a guest wash dishes?"
Mayor Yang waved his hand and insisted, "Director Liang, Chef Huang, washing dishes doesn’t tire me out. I was very happy to share this wonderful moment with everyone today. Just consider washing dishes as a small token of appreciation for this pleasant experience."
Alright!
Since Mayor Yang was so insistent, let it be according to his wishes!
Otherwise, stopping him might make things awkward or even annoy him.
Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun exchanged a smile and stood quietly on the side.
Not long after.
Mayor Yang and his group finished tidying up...
He glanced at his wristwatch and smiled at Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun, saying, "Director Liang, Chef Huang, it’s getting late. We should be on our way."
The other leaders present nodded lightly in agreement, casting approving glances.
Liang Yinqiu responded warmly, "Mayor Yang, take care. Please visit the kindergarten anytime. We always welcome you."
Huang Jun suddenly remembered, "Mayor Yang, I have some toasted rice left. Would you like to take some home? Boil it with some aged Mandarin peel and jujube for porridge. In the long run, it’s good for your chronic stomach issues."
"Oh? That’s very kind of you, Chef Huang. Thank you for your concern."
Mayor Yang gratefully accepted, took out his phone, and said, "Chef Huang, let’s add each other on WeChat. If I have any questions, I can ask you directly. Also, feel free to contact me if you need anything."
"Great!"
Huang Jun agreed readily, and the two exchanged WeChat information and contact details happily.
Liang Yinqiu noticed this, feeling quite envious!
She spent the entire morning accompanying Mayor Yang, yet he didn’t offer to add her on WeChat.
This really is a case of "not everyone gets the same treatment."
The expressions of the other leaders froze in disbelief, their jaws nearly dropping in shock as they witnessed this scene.
After all, Mayor Yang had never voluntarily asked anyone to add as a WeChat friend, making this treatment unprecedented among them.
"You really win over people with kind words and thoughtful gestures..."
No, no!
To be accurate, genuinely being helpful and considerate can win hearts over!
They couldn’t help but admire Huang Jun’s attentiveness and care, while also feeling envious of Mayor Yang receiving Huang Jun’s exclusive gift.
They wanted toasted rice too!
But alas!
No share for them!
Huang Jun just smiled humbly, handing over the pre-prepared toasted rice to Mayor Yang before watching Director Liang lead the group away slowly. Huang Jun then looked forward to the New Year’s holiday with his daughters.
The originally three-day holiday, thanks to today’s event, added another half day, turning into a leisurely three-and-a-half-day break.
Speaking of holidays, who isn’t thrilled?
Especially in the chilly winter, being able to linger in bed is one of life’s great pleasures.
Just thinking about it made Huang Jun feel content.
He turned and walked toward Qingqing and Weiwei...
The two little ones had finished the porridge Qian Guoxiang served them and were now playing happily with their friends—Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie.
Huang Jun gently called, "Qingqing, Weiwei, time to go home!"
"Yes, we know, coming!"
Qingqing and Weiwei responded, waving reluctantly at Pumpkin Pie and Meat Bun before toddling over to Huang Jun.
After stopping, they couldn’t help but look back at Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie behind them, asking, "Papa, what about Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie?"
Huang Jun laughed, "Of course they’ll stay at the kindergarten!"
"But..."
Qingqing bit her lip, whispered, "With no one around, Meat Bun will be lonely and bored."
Weiwei nodded her little head, "Yeah, Papa, my Pumpkin Pie will feel lonely too!"
Lonely and bored?
Huang Jun found it amusing—how could Meat Bun and Pumpkin Pie feel lonely and bored? They’re just two cats, with the family of three together, how could they possibly feel lonely?
But he immediately understood the kids’ feelings; they wanted to take the kittens home.
Since Director Liang didn’t mind him taking the cats home!
So...
He squatted down, patted the two kids’ heads, and said, "Alright, we’ll take them home then!"
Qingqing and Weiwei burst into smiles, "That’s great!"
Because he had to carry the cat cages and other items, along with washing the two little ones’ quilts at home, his hands were too full and couldn’t hold the kids’ hands, so he let them hold hands and walk ahead.
Fortunately, Qingqing and Weiwei were very sensible and even helped carry things. The family happily set off home, beginning their three-and-a-half-day holiday...
