Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Ask Her to Wrap Dumplings

Gu Wei came to work today, and when he arrived at the corridor, he saw Shen Jiayi.

"Brother Wei, good morning," Shen Jiayi greeted him first.

Gu Wei merely nodded indifferently.

Shen Jiayi wanted to say something to Gu Wei, but she closed her mouth the moment she saw the camera at the end of the corridor.

She was really annoyed with the office now; why did they have to install cameras in every corner? It made it impossible for her to pull any stunts.

In her moment of hesitation, Gu Wei had already returned to his office.

Shen Jiayi went back to her own cubicle.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a message from Liu Yong.

"The time is ripe, when can you add the ingredients to the soup?"

Shen Jiayi was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.

This was the code language between her and Liu Yong; he was pressuring her to make a move on Gu Wei sooner.

If she didn’t comply, her current job was covered by Liu Yong. Even though she worked in finance, any mistake in her work and he could dismiss or demote her instantly.

After thinking it over, she decided to bring down Gu Wei as soon as possible.

The opportunity finally arrived.

One day, she saw Gu Wei passing by her office.

Having observed Gu Wei for a long time, she knew what he was going to do.

She couldn’t help following him.

Gu Wei went to the restroom at the end of the corridor.

After he entered, Shen Jiayi also made a show of going to the ladies’ restroom.

Both restrooms shared one door, but you would turn left or right only after entering.

Most importantly, there were no cameras here.

Inside the ladies’ restroom were several stalls. She didn’t go into a stall but instead pretended to wash her hands at the sink.

Shortly after, someone came out of the restroom; it was a senior sister from the audit department.

The senior sister glanced at Shen Jiayi after using the restroom, and since they were not acquainted, they just nodded to each other.

Shen Jiayi’s heart was thumping wildly.

She prayed inwardly that no one else would come in.

Then she listened carefully for sounds from the neighboring men’s restroom.

It seemed someone was coming out, and she immediately went out too.

Just in time, the person who came out was Gu Wei.

Shen Jiayi immediately called out, "Gu Wei!"

Gu Wei glanced at her.

With just one glance, he seemed to have a premonition that Shen Jiayi was up to no good and had ulterior motives.

He quickly retreated back to the men’s restroom and called out again, "Da Liu, are you done yet?"

A male voice came from inside: "Yeah, yeah, I’m done!"

"If you’re done, let’s head out together."

"Okay," Da Liu hurriedly shook off and zipped up.

"Brother Wei, are you in such a hurry to call me out for something?" In the office, it was common to call each other "Brother" or "Sister," regardless of age. As long as someone had a higher rank, they had to be addressed with respect. Gu Wei didn’t like it, but he couldn’t correct it, so he just went along with it.

"Nothing much, just wary of some poisonous butterflies."

"Poisonous butterflies?"

There was no one else around by now; Shen Jiayi had long since slipped away.

Gu Wei said, "It’s nothing, Da Liu, from now on, when I go to the restroom, bring you with me."

Da Liu: "..."

Da Liu asked, "Does that mean, Brother Wei, you want to go to the restroom with me from now on? Does it also mean I should call you when I need to go?"

Da Liu was very nervous. He was already 40; Gu Wei couldn’t possibly be interested in him, could he?

Gu Wei said indifferently, "You don’t need to call me, but I will call you. Don’t be nervous, it’s nothing special. I have a problem, that is, I get scared when going to the bathroom alone. It’s probably a weakness from my childhood."

"Oh, so that’s how it is!" Da Liu understood, and immediately said, "Then, Brother Wei, rest assured, if you want to go to the bathroom, just call me."

"Okay!"

Next time Shen Jiayi went to the bathroom, she found that a surveillance camera had also been installed at the door.

She was stunned for a moment, and then cursed in her heart, "This Gu Wei, he’s really a sly old fox!"

She had no choice. Coming from a military background, one glance from him and he could tell what you were up to. Even if she had accused him of sexual harassment at that time, he probably would have had a way to clear himself.

...

Xi Wanfen had been staying at her parents’ house again in the last few days.

Originally, Liang Zhanbai’s parents said they would stay for a few days and then leave, but whether they wanted to intimidate Xi Wanfen or not, they kept dragging their feet and not leaving.

As long as Xi Wanfen was at home, they would find all kinds of faults. Liang Zhanbai had spoken to them several times, but they did not hold back.

A few days ago, they called Xi Wanfen back to eat dumplings again.

Xi Wanfen thought they had already made the dumplings, but when she came back, she found that they had only bought dumpling wrappers and fillings like chives and eggs, and had not yet prepared the stuffing.

Xi Wanfen was puzzled.

Mrs. Liang said cheerfully, "Xiao Fen, you know how to make dumplings, right? If you don’t, then you really need to learn. Back in our hometown, we make dumplings during the holidays, and if a daughter-in-law doesn’t know how, she will be laughed at by those around her."

Xi Wanfen had hardly ever cooked in her life, let alone made dumplings.

She felt that Mrs. Liang was doing this on purpose.

So she called Liang Zhanbai and told him the situation.

After Liang Zhanbai heard this, he also called Mrs. Liang, "Mom, why did you ask Xiao Fen to come back for a meal and have her do it herself?"

Mrs. Liang felt a bit guilty at that moment, not because she wanted to do this. She herself was a woman and knew it was not easy for a woman to work and take care of the housework, so she said, "It was your father’s idea."

"Then hand the phone to Dad."

Mr. Liang took the call with an uncompromising tone, "We’ve been here for so many days. Apart from boiling water, what else has she done? She hasn’t even cooked us a meal. Is this what a future daughter-in-law should do?"

"Dad, I’ve said it before, she can’t cook. If you really like dumplings so much, I’ll make them for you after I get off work!"

Mr. Liang wouldn’t listen, "I want her to do it today!"

Xi Wanfen heard everything clearly from inside the room.

Liang Zhanbai called back to coax her, "Xiao Fen, how about this, you go to the kitchen and pretend to be busy, and I will come back and help you."

Xi Wanfen asked, "Aren’t you supposed to perform surgery today? Where do you have the time to come back and make dumplings?"

"I’ll take leave."

"Don’t!" Xi Wanfen was considerate of how hard it was for Liang Zhanbai. He was not yet a senior doctor, and his career was on the rise. If he kept taking leave every now and then because of family matters, the director would surely have a negative opinion of him.

Xi Wanfen said, "I’ll do it, making dumplings shouldn’t be too difficult."

She browsed Xiaohongshu once and roughly knew the steps, then started working on it.

Chop chop chop the chives, stir-fry the eggs for a while, then mix everything together and stir-fry again.

It was a bit burnt, but that didn’t matter.

Once it was out of the pan, it was time to make dumplings.

Mrs. Liang couldn’t help coming over to give a hand when she saw it.

Xi Wanfen had never made dumplings before, even with the premade wrappers, she found it too hard.

After wrapping a few, it was a disaster.

Either they wouldn’t seal, or the filling would leak, or the skin would break.

Because Xi Wanfen was reluctant in the first place, her dumplings turned out even worse.

Especially seeing Mr. Liang sitting on the sofa, not caring at all, made her even more infuriated.

She couldn’t stand seeing others idle while she was busy.

"Auntie, I really can’t do it, you better do it yourself," said Xi Wanfen.

She glanced at the time and then said, "I have something else to do, I won’t stay and make dumplings with you today, I have to go."

"Hey, Xiao Fen, you..."
