Chapter 214 Uninvited Guest
Gu Dongxing only cleaned the fish by scaling and gutting it, then he went to the team’s headquarters.
Jiang Mengyu was still handling the food when Zhang Qiaoqiao arrived: "Jiang Mengyu, I’m here to help."
When she came, she also brought along bowls, chopsticks, and stools—everyone knew that no family would have so many of them, so everyone brought their own.
Then, Luo Xiuyu, Qin Xiufang, and Liu Yumei also came, and they brought their children as well.
Apart from Zhang Qiaoqiao who didn’t have children, the other three families brought one or two children each.
Jiang Mengyu was a bit stunned: she hadn’t counted the children.
Could they accommodate so many people?
Liu Yumei, holding a child’s hand, was a bit embarrassed: "There was no one to look after the children at home, so I brought them over."
Jiang Mengyu could only accept: "It’s okay, just a few more pairs of chopsticks."
Not until it was time to eat did she understand, it wasn’t just about a few more pairs of chopsticks.
Next, the family members of three mid-level managerial staff came over to help, which was an unwritten rule: when a family hosts, the invited family members come over to assist.
The family members of the three mid-level managers, one surnamed Lin, one surnamed Li, and one surnamed Gao. Jiang Mengyu noticed that the one surnamed Gao showed her some barely concealed hostility.
Jiang Mengyu found it very strange, she was meeting her for the first time, wasn’t she? Where did this hostility come from?
After thinking it over, she was sure it was their first encounter, and even in her past life, she had never met her, so she let it go.
To Jiang Mengyu’s dismay, each of the three brought two children with them.
In this way, there were already ten children. Jiang Mengyu had to take out two more chickens and ducks for cooking, preparing to seat three tables.
Fortunately, everyone brought their own bowls, chopsticks, and stools, otherwise, she wouldn’t know where to find that many bowls, chopsticks, and stools.
However, with the help of the first four family members, the later three mid-level managerial Madams couldn’t find much to help with, and could only do things like preparing the tables—because even their own houses didn’t have enough tables.
In the end, it was naturally those three mid-level managerial Madams who borrowed the tables from the cafeteria.
Jiang Mengyu suddenly realized a problem: the pots at home, including the ones she bought and stored in her space, were not big enough to cook meals for so many people.
Seeing her staring blankly with the pot in hand, Qin Xiufang chuckled: "Usually when everyone hosts guests, the staple food is fetched by each person from the cafeteria, no family’s pot can cook enough rice for so many people."
Jiang Mengyu then relaxed, but she still kneaded a large amount of dough to wait, frying over a hundred scallion pancakes.
"Jiang Mengyu, I heard that you invited Vice Factory Director Yan?" Qin Xiufang asked.
Jiang Mengyu shook her head: "I only invited you four, uh, four families, Gu Dongxing did the inviting, it seems to be for middle management and above."
The family members looked at each other and sighed: Middle management and above, doesn’t that include Vice Factory Director Yan?
Qin Xiufang whispered to Jiang Mengyu: "Madam Wen Meiling has that person living at her place. Be careful she might bring her."
Jiang Mengyu was initially confused, then she quickly understood that the person Xiufang referred to was Ye Rushui, who was coveting Gu Dongxing.
She said indifferently: "I didn’t invite her, she surely wouldn’t come uninvited, would she?"
Qin Xiufang nodded: "If neither of you invited her, then she probably wouldn’t be so shameless as to show up."
As it turned out, they had all underestimated the thickness of Ye Rushui’s skin.
It wasn’t until the food was nearly ready and the rich scent of meat wafted through the yard that Wen Meiling finally arrived, fashionably late.
Seeing Ye Rushui, who was arm-in-arm with Wen Meiling, Jiang Mengyu felt a wave of frustration: she hadn’t expected Ye Rushui to have the audacity to show up uninvited.
