Chapter 433: Chapter 433: Kitchen Novice Deeply Disliked

He Zheng naturally refused to admit his failure, arguing, "I wasn’t defeated by the kitchen, I was defeated by Si Ran."

Pei Liyan chuckled lightly, "It’s surprising to see our President He being so humble. Have you turned over a new leaf?"

"She thinks I’m a nuisance and won’t let me in there. What am I supposed to do?" He Zheng said, looking at Fang Mo, "Assistant Fang, are you just going to watch me be rejected by Si Ran without helping?"

Fang Mo was also quite puzzled that President He was clueless in the kitchen.

He looked at He Zheng and said, "President He, I just don’t know whether or not to help, that’s why I’m standing here!"

"Go ahead," He Zheng urged, "If you don’t help, we won’t have dinner by eight o’clock."

"Actually, President He, Si Ran’s cooking is much tastier than mine," Fang Mo whispered.

"Really?" He Zheng was taken aback and immediately asked, "You’ve eaten Si Ran’s cooking?"

"When traveling for business, I often eat it," Fang Mo thought it was normal, wondering why President He looked so surprised.

Pei Liyan was also astonished and asked, "When did you and Si Ran become so close?"

"Not really, President. It’s just that during business trips, you didn’t like the hotel’s buffet, so I’d make homemade dishes for you, and Si Ran would whip up something for me too."

He Zheng and Pei Liyan exchanged a glance and immediately protested, "From now on during business trips, Si Ran is not allowed to cook for him."

Pei Liyan questioned He Zheng, "Why?"

He Zheng opened his mouth but couldn’t speak for a moment.

Fang Mo laughed, "President He, you’ll get to taste Secretary Si’s dishes today, I’ll go assist her now!"

Watching Fang Mo enter the kitchen and work seamlessly with Si Ran, He Zheng said sourly, "Did you hire assistants and secretaries, or a chef and sous-chef?"

Pei Liyan leaned back in a lazy posture, "What’s wrong with my assistant and secretary having versatile skills? I think you’re blatantly jealous."

"Yes, I’m jealous!" He Zheng replied irritably.

Before Pei Liyan could respond, He Lan’s voice came from behind, "What are you jealous about? Come and see my master throw darts, it’s awesome."

He Zheng was more frustrated after being rebuked by his sister.

Why did the woman he liked cook for other men?

Moreover, he had no authority in front of the woman he liked, being disrespected by his sister.

He Zheng immediately stood up and walked towards He Lan.

When he reached He Lan, he flicked her forehead, "Watch what you say. As a girl, always saying unpleasant things isn’t appropriate, is it?"

"Don’t talk about me!" He Lan pouted, "A grown man feeling jealous, what’s there to be jealous of? Have a broader heart and stop being so petty."

He Zheng was rendered speechless.

Qiao Rui laughed at their sibling bickering.

At this moment, Gai Yin saw He Zheng hadn’t entered the kitchen and said to Qiao Rui, "President Qiao, I’m going to help in the kitchen."

"Okay, go ahead." Qiao Rui nodded.

Gai Yin immediately went to help.

Qiao Rui turned around and looked at He Zheng, shaking his head with a sigh as if looking at a loser, "It seems Mr. He lacks the skills to assist in the kitchen, being driven out by Si Ran."

"Sister-in-law, can’t you avoid the sensitive topics?" He Zheng pleaded.

Qiao Rui laughed, "Mr. He, you must face your problems directly to correct your course and go further. Do you want to be a loser?"

He Zheng immediately snapped to attention, "Of course not. I need to adjust myself, don’t want to be so despised."

"Master, Big Brother, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word?" He Lan couldn’t help asking.

Qiao Rui smiled and said, "Oh, we’re talking about how your brother can’t cook and needs to learn to cook and then make us a meal."

"Him?" He Lan snickered, "He can’t even distinguish between sugar and salt; how could he possibly learn to cook? He’s clueless in the kitchen; even if I learn it, he might still not catch up."

"Really?" Qiao Rui was impressed and smiled, "Didn’t expect Mr. He to be so useless."

He Zheng looked wistfully at Qiao Rui and then at Pei Liyan, "Even our President Pei can’t cook, why don’t you talk about him?"

Pei Liyan was stunned for a moment, glanced at He Zheng, said nothing, but his eyes showed strong disapproval.

Qiao Rui directly helped Pei Liyan refute, "Because we’re at your place now, and Pei didn’t delude himself, knowing he can’t cook, he has Mrs. Feng and Uncle Feng to do it at home. You’re just the lone commander."

"Exactly!" He Lan couldn’t help but defend Qiao Rui, "We came to Big Brother’s place, not my master’s house."

He Zheng saw them all teaming up against him; he had just sold out his good buddy and was now getting the cold shoulder.

Even Pei Liyan wasn’t helping him.

"Fine! I know I’ve offended everyone anyway; it’s all my fault, okay?" he gestured with a bow.

Everyone laughed along.

He Lan shouted, "Master, hurry up and throw the darts!"

He Zheng’s house had a dartboard hanging on the wall on the first floor, perfect for playing.

He Lan grabbed the darts and handed them to Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui took them, and while talking, aimed directly at the bullseye.

"Wow, that’s incredible!" He Zheng was amazed, looking wide-eyed at Qiao Rui, "Sister-in-law, you’re way too accurate."

Qiao Rui smiled, "Just a coincidence."

"Master, you’re too skilled." He Lan admired Qiao Rui immensely, "If only it had hit Lin Tinglei’s crotch, that’d be perfect!"

Qiao Rui almost burst out laughing and glanced at He Lan, "You know about Lin Tinglei?"

"Who doesn’t know him?" He Lan said contemptuously, "The eldest grandson of the Lin family, the biggest disgrace too, loves ruining innocent girls, going to vocational schools to find teenage girls, spending money to trap them, getting them pregnant. I say, those darts should hit his privates!"

Qiao Rui smiled again; He Lan, though often showing her spoiled temperament, sometimes spoke with such humor.

And she always hit the point, which was why Qiao Rui liked her so much.

When she’s with you, she’ll go all out for you.

When not, she’d turn away and cut ties.

So He Lan is something of a free spirit.

Pei Liyan and He Zheng were both stunned by He Lan’s words.

He Zheng then spoke up, "He Lan, as a girl, mind your words."

"Mind what?" He Lan snapped back, "Like you, living meekly? Those darts should hit Lin Tinglei’s crotch, making sure he can’t be a man for life; that’s satisfying."
