CHAPTER 553: CHAPTER 298: TRULY A PERFECT MATCH_3
Zang Liang began to ponder seriously.
This issue, actually, was discussed in a video chat by Qin Huai last night with the group of A Loving Family.
After a day of chatting yesterday, Qin Huai could basically conclude that Cheng Gong’s obsession was related to work, maybe wanting to be a good employee or something.
The obsessions of spirits are strange and diverse, and any kind of obsession is not surprising. Cheng Gong’s current status is in the process of awakening, indicating that he has encountered an opportunity to awaken. Based on his performance, this opportunity is likely Han Guishan.
These were already analyzed by Qin Huai yesterday afternoon, and after a night of discussion, these were the only conclusions reached.
Spirit’s top analyst Luo Jun experienced a setback when faced with someone like Cheng Gong, who loved working and whose obsession was even related to work. Unable to analyze, Luo Jun expressed neither understanding nor respect.
Chen Huihong guessed that Cheng Gong might simply lack money and that his obsession might not be related to work but to money. Since Han Guishan offered him an annual salary of 7 million, Cheng Gong was completely devoted.
Qu Jing believed that Cheng Gong’s devotion had little to do with money. It was mainly because of Han Guishan. Cheng Gong’s obsession might be people, and Han Guishan just happened to be very similar to the person he was obsessed with.
Qin Huai felt that their guesses were unreliable and decided to find a non-spirit human to analyze it rationally.
Zang Liang thought for a long time.
"Could it be because... the boss is really nice?"
"Actually, when I was a kid, I didn’t want to learn cooking. At that time, my family was poor without money. My parents thought I had talent in this area, and my uncle happened to be a chef. My parents thought being a chef could earn money, so I started learning from a master from a young age."
"At that time, I would cry and make a fuss every day, not wanting to stay at my master’s house, wanting to go home, not wanting to practice cutting vegetables, and just wanted to watch TV, trying any method to make it happen."
"My master had no choice but to send me back. My parents lied to me, saying being a chef was hard when young, but once grown, you can earn lots of money, go wherever you want, eat whatever you like, eat a candy and throw one away, drink a bottle of Coke and pour one away."
"I got tricked again and went back."
"At the beginning of learning to cook, I only wanted to quickly learn and earn money. At that time, I envied the dishwashers, envied the sinks, envied the choppers, envied the helpers, thinking they got paid and yet didn’t work as hard as me, it was amazing."
"But over time, I stopped envying them because I had a really good master, and they should envy me instead."
"Putting myself in the situation, if I were to be completely devoted and work to the bones for a boss or master, until death, it’s probably not because of money, though of course, it’d be nice if there was a bit more money, and a lot more money would be a different story altogether. However, I still feel that people are very important. First, he has to be a person worth doing this for."
Qin Huai suddenly saw Zang Liang in a new light. Despite being a well-connected person, he actually had thoughts, pursuits, and depth.
Qin Huai thought that the perspective provided by Zang Liang was great and was the closest thing to an answer.
Money should be in place, and the person should be nice.
If that’s the case, the breakthrough for touching Cheng Gong’s side mission might lie with Han Guishan.
For strategies, dealing with other spirits requires getting good things with them, but with Cheng Gong, it’s about building a good relationship with his boss.
"Are you tired?" Qin Huai asked.
"Not at all, today’s prep quantity is quite low, less than a third of my usual amount. I’ve discovered that your pastry section is way better than our meat cooking section; your prep is not complicated and is still a large volume."
Qin Huai gave a smile: "Then do you mind doing a bit more work?"
Zang Liang: ? Isn’t he already working?
"I’m planning to make an additional 30 pounds of Three Meat Buns and 50 pounds of Four Happiness rice dumplings, please work hard, and I’ll make you Longevity Noodles later."
"If there’s enough broth, I’ll cook you a pot!"
"30 pounds of Three Meat Buns and 50 pounds of Four Happiness rice dumplings’ ingredients, right? Don’t worry, leave it to me!"
