President, Our Egg Is Lost

Chapter Seven: This egg is worthy of being this little master’s, it’s plenty strong!

After the tedious meeting was over, the department managers dispersed. Cheng YuTang returned to his office and took a moment to comb through the problems that had been brought up at the meeting but had no solutions for the time being.

Zhao BaiXin sorted out the meeting minutes and then put them at his fingertips. He glanced subtly at the clock hanging on the wall.

It was already past ten o’clock.

“Let’s leave this for today. Let’s go.” Cheng YuTang stood and said, “Xiao Zhao, I’m giving you another assignment. When you have time, check the background and recent experience of the previous little delivery guy. Report back to me when you find the information.”

“Who? Oh, I see, Cheng Zong.”

Zhao BaiXin was very curious about Cheng YuTang’s sudden command, but he didn’t let it show on his face, his expression purely business.

This task was basically as easy as using a sledgehammer to open a nut for this executive assistant. The little delivery guy wore an apron with the printed LOGO of the restaurant. However, he was just a 20-year-old wage earner. What kind of background experience could he have? After a quick look, it would definitely become clear.

However, the kid had a good body, stunning the eyes of anyone who looked at him. Surely that couldn’t also be true for Chen Zong, who had always had picky eyes and who was suspected to be sexually indifferent?

This could be described as the sun rising in the west.

……

When Ji XiaoYu returned to the small restaurant after the delivery, he found an extra young man in the kitchen, with big eyes and bushy eyebrows, a tall, strong body, and muscles, waving two kitchen knives as he cut vegetables at the cutting board. Was this a new young man recruited because they were so busy?

“That’s Qiang Zi, just back from his trip home.” Zhang QiaoYan saw him and rushed over to whisper, “Qiang Zi has a bad temper, even Uncle Li doesn’t dare to take him on, so you shouldn’t mess with him. But rest assured, you’re Uncle Li’s favorite. Even though Qiang Zi came back, he can’t take your place!”

Ji XiaoYu was dumbfounded. He wasn’t a fighting cock, who would go peck at anyone he saw. As long as other people didn’t mess with him, he certainly wouldn’t provoke anyone.

Even if Qiang Zi had come back and would squeeze him out of his position, it would be fine; he’d just have to change his job. The small restaurant didn’t pay a high enough salary, so he wouldn’t be able to save much money in one year. He was afraid there wouldn’t be enough for the chick after it hatched. Before, he had been too busy to multitask, so his job hunt had to be pushed aside. But now that Qiang Zi was back, he could make time to search.

Wu YaoQiang heard the movement and turned around. He was shocked to see Ji XiaoYu at first but then he shot him a fierce look, conveying pure, resolute condemnation and warning, as if he were a magpie looking at the pigeon intruder who had occupied his nest.

Stare away, it won’t hurt me any. Ji XiaoYu touched his nose in disapproval and turned to the counter to see if there was a new delivery order.

After a while, Wu YaoQiang walked past him with two buckets of kitchen waste in one hand. He said with a gruff voice, “Xiao JiJi, get out of the way, watch out or Qiang Zi Ge will crush you flat with one stomp.”

“Come on. This little master is afraid that you won’t succeed!” Ji XiaoYu suddenly puffed up his feathers.

You have a little dick, your whole family have little dicks! If you grow into a big man, will it definitely be big there? Maybe not!

(t/n: Qiang Zi came up with JiJi using the Ji from Ji XiaoYu’s name, but JXY heard it as JiJi, slang meaning ‘dick’)

If there weren’t a lot of customers in the store right now, Ji XiaoYu would have taken off his pants to prove his dignity as a man.

“Hey, what are you doing?” Li DeFa found the two guys in an awkward situation and that the customers were all scared, so he quickly shouted, “Qiang Zi, don’t mess around! Xiao Yu looks like tender tofu, he can’t stand the force of one of your fingers!”

Ji XiaoYu: “…….”

Uncle Li, aren’t you afraid of me taking that the wrong way?

Zhang QiaoYan also quickly came up to tug at Ji XiaoYu, whispering in persuasion, “Xiao Yu, don’t be impulsive, Qiang Zi is from a martial arts family. If you mess with him, you’ll be asking for trouble.”

Then, disgruntled, she said to Wu YaoQiang: “Qiang Zi, Xiao Yu isn’t even 20. Your arms are thicker than his thighs. Aren’t you too embarrassed to bully someone so small?”

Ji XiaoYu: “…….”

JieJie, that’s not very nice of you to say.

Wu YaoQiang snorted and finally gave up. He shot Ji XiaoYu a victorious look, then went out to the dumpster.

Ji XiaoYu gnashed his teeth, forget it, he was a great spiritual beast, he didn’t need to lower himself to the level of a human being.

Wu YaoQiang’s work efficiency wasn’t as high as Ji XiaoYu’s. He had grown up big and tall but wasn’t very pleasant in attitude. However, he had received some real training from Li DeFa, so his dishes weren’t bad. Old customers who weren’t too particular about it could eat them without noticing a big difference. Even if Li DeFa wasn’t there, he could basically cope with the shop’s business, which was better than Ji XiaoYu.

Ji XiaoYu had done a lot of work all over. He knew a little bit of everything and he especially could eat very well, that is, he just couldn’t cook. When he was close to the fire, his heart trembled, not to mention cooking with a spoon. He was afraid of accidentally burning his tail feathers, although he didn’t actually have a tail at all when he was in human form.

After closing for the evening, Li DeFa held a small meeting to clarify the work duties for the three staff. Zhang QiaoYan would still server orders and be the cashier. Wu YaoQiang would give Li DeFa a hand and act as a second chef in the kitchen and, at the same time, would be responsible for most of the heavy labor. And since Ji XiaoYu’s legs were fast and he was equivalent to the face of the small restaurant, he would mainly take care of reception and delivery.

As a result, Ji XiaoYu’s work responsibilities were reduced by at least one-third. He didn’t have to be as busy as he used to be, so busy that he didn’t have time to swallow, which was good.

Li DeFa forced a deliberate ending to the rigid relationship between the two guys. He first took Wu YaoQiang by the hand and said earnestly, “Qiang Zi, as soon as this Uncle Li opened this restaurant, you were here. Uncle Li has seen your hard work these past three years. You are the hero of our Old Li’s family.”

Then he took Ji XiaoYu’s hand and said as he looked at him kindly, “Xiao Yu, ah, you’ve been here for less than three months, but you’re hard-working and quick-witted and you never complain that you’re tired. You’re a good boy too.”

Then he put Wu YaoQiang and Ji XiaoYu’s hands together and said passionately, “Now aren’t we all striving to build a harmonious society? Harmony can produce results, harmony can produce efficiency; the country must be harmonious and our small restaurant must also be harmonious! Qiang Zi, you’re older and more experienced, just give Xiao Yu a little break. Xiao Yu, you’re young, so you should respect Qiang Zi as an older brother. Now that you two have entered the same door, you’re a family and you can’t fight in the nest again in the future. To love each other is to take care of each other, you know?”

Wu YaoQiang: “……..”

Ji XiaoYu: “……..”

The two looked at each other and they both went numb all over, hurriedly pulling their hands back.

Zhang QiaoYan glanced back and forth, a twisted, strange smile on her face.

Li DeFa was oblivious to the quiet embarrassment-filled atmosphere. Seeing that the two guys didn’t object, nor did they argue like in the morning, he thought that this counseling had been successful, so he stood up in satisfaction and said, “Good, I’m going back. You two rest early and start working together tomorrow!”

Ji XiaoYu opened his mouth, “Uncle Li……..”

“What, is there something else?”

“Never mind, you go safely.”

Ji XiaoYu was originally going to bring up his three-month resignation, but seeing that Li DeFa was in a good mood at the moment, he couldn’t bear to speak out against him now, so he decided to look for another opportunity in the next few days.

When Li DeFa and Zhang QiaoYan had left, Ji XiaoYu went to the lock the door and Wu YaoQiang turned and walked toward the stairs.

Wu YaoQiang’s body was thick and strong and, when he went upstairs, he took up the whole passage. The stairs were already narrow, made with planks, and, as he walked, they gave an overburdened groan and dust fell straight down.

Ji XiaoYu had no doubt that if he went up with him, the staircase was bound to break.

Do I have to sleep in the tiny attic with this big guy?

Ji XiaoYu’s head ached.

When Wu YaoQiang reached the attic, he suddenly remembered something and rushed up the stairs as fast as possible.

However, he was still a step too late. Ji XiaoYu watched Wu YaoQiang flop down on the bed like a territorial bear. He crushed his little white egg that was hidden in the quilt.

Wu YaoQiang also felt like he was sitting on something so he twisted his stout butt in discomfort and then pointed his finger at the gobsmacked Ji XiaoYu. Letting his bullying side out, he declared, “Surname Ji, respect your elders, yeah? Don’t you say that Qiang Zi Ge bullied you. Laozi has always slept in this bed, you go lay on the floor on the restaurant downstairs……..”

Ah, ah, ah, ah, my egg! Ji XiaoYu saw red and, not listening to what Wu YaoQiang was saying, threw himself forward fiercely. He grabbed Wu YaoQiang’s arm and pushed him aside.

The poor Wu YaoQiang’s big 200-pound body was tossed like a 10kg sandbag. *Bang* He crashed into the wooden wall and then slammed to the floor, shaking the entire attic.

Ji XiaoYu lifted the quilt and the heart in his throat returned to its original place.

Fortunately, the little white egg lay completely intact; the eggshell was still so smooth and delicate and it looked like it hadn’t suffered any damage.

Ji XiaoYu held the little white egg in his hand and touched it affectionately. He praised it in his heart, this egg is worthy of being this little master’s, it’s plenty strong!

Wu YaoQiang was stunned by the fall, taking a long time to clamber up. He looked at Ji XiaoYu’s slender, little body, then looked at his own arms that were thicker than his waist. He wore an expression of disbelief.

“Qiang Zi Ge, what did you say just now?” Ji XiaoYu hid the little white egg in his sleeve and turned around to see Wu YaoQiang holding his waist, with a ghastly look on his face. Only then did he realize what he had done, “Uh, I didn’t hurt you, did I? Sorry, I didn’t mean it. I was in a rush just now and used a little too much strength.”

“……..” Wu YaoQiang hadn’t seen Ji XiaoYu take something from the bed. Touching his butt, which had almost exploded from the impact, he was a little afraid. If that was a little too much, then if Ji XiaoYu used even more strength, was it possible that he would be paralyzed from the waist down?

The author has something to say:Xiao Ji: Cheng Zong, I heard that you are sexually indifferent?

Cheng Zong: Then how did you get this egg? In that case, I can give you ten more. Let’s make a football team to form up and play?

Xiao Ji: ……
