Chapter 302: Chapter 193 Stirring People

Qin Huai fled back to the kitchen as if escaping for his life, and pondered for a few seconds in front of the culinary station. Considering that Qu Jing’s private hospital was so far from Huang Ji, and Qu still insisted on coming over for a lunch gathering during break, there was no way to escape.

How much does their hospital pay doctors per month? Why are they so wealthy!

Qin Huai glanced at the already brushed dumplings.

Knowing that Ouyang was coming, he had deliberately made a few more.

Ouyang 6, Cheng Gong 6, Huang Jia 2, Huang An Yao 2, Dong Shi 1, totaling 17.

Quite a number of them.

But now...

Qu Jing’s new colleagues all showed up, and as Qu Jing’s friend, shouldn’t he also do something to foster camaraderie for Qu Jing with her colleagues from out of town?

Chen Huihong had already set an extremely good example. If even Plant Spirits can do it, why can’t he as the male lead of a system novel?

Since it couldn’t be kept secret, he might as well help Qu Jing become the superstar of the Gusu branch.

He hoped that the cafeteria and security of the Gusu branch wouldn’t call for delivery services.

Qin Huai consoled himself with a nod and called Qu Jing.

"Hello." Qu Jing’s voice came from the other end of the phone, and Qin Huai could vaguely hear a sharp female voice beside her.

"What?! Jingjing knows Master Qin, that’s great, our neurology department will have free reign in the hospital in the future!"

Qin Huai: ...

"How many people are at this colleague gathering?" Qin Huai asked.

"This gathering? Including the cardiology department, there are 16 people total in our department."

Qin Huai: "... Oh, I see. Well, some Crab Shell Cakes will be out of the oven soon. I’ll have the waiter send over 32 to you, don’t make a fuss, Crab Shell Cakes aren’t on the menu today."

"Do you have any doctors in your department whom you’re particularly close with?" Qin Huai asked again.

Qu Jing thought for a moment, "Director Liu takes good care of me, and Doctor Lou is very nice too."

Only then did Qin Huai breathe a sigh of relief: "Then call me after your meal, because I have some snacks here that you can take back and share with the doctors you’re close to."

"Do you still remember what Sister Hong said? When you arrive at a new place, you need to build good relationships with your new colleagues. Sharing snacks is the first step."

These words were indeed said by Chen Huihong, when she visited Qu Jing’s home after taking oranges from Luo Jun’s house one night.

"Yes, I remember." Qu Jing said solemnly.

Ending the call, Qin Huai gave himself credit for being so clever.

It was a close call; it’s fortunate he asked in advance about the number of people at the gathering. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been enough dumplings for everyone, and he would have had to make more.

Qin Huai felt that sending dumplings was indeed too ostentatious, which wouldn’t be good for Qu Jing. To improve relationships with her colleagues, two Crab Shell Cakes per person were enough.

"Brother Jia." Qin Huai called out to Huang Jia, who was just taking a three-minute rest at the warehouse entrance and was headed back to the stove. "Today I have friends dining in Private Room 111 and Room 777, could you send a bit extra snacks to these rooms?"

"So, friends specifically came here to Gusu for dining, right? Don’t worry, I’ll handle the main dishes." Huang Jia, familiar with this task, looked at the prepared dumplings, "I was wondering why you suddenly made so many snacks today."

Qin Huai chuckled and kept making snacks, pondering whether it was a wise decision to arrange for Ouyang and Assistant Chen to share a room.

Would Assistant Chen even want to share a room with a stranger?

In fact, Assistant Chen was quite willing.

As the personal assistant to the president, Assistant Chen was responsible for handling various life-related matters. After dealing with numerous such tasks, Assistant Chen had his own methods and understanding.

To get close to someone subtly, the best approach is to first become close with their friends.

Assistant Chen was concerned about how to get to know Qin Huai, who had traveled from Shan City to Gusu, within a short span of time. Then Ouyang came right to him.

If he wasn’t still stuck in traffic, Assistant Chen would have loved to rush into Room 777 right away, to drink and chat with Ouyang about Master Qin.

Unbeknownst to Qin Huai, his real concern should not be the doctors’ gathering in Room 111, nor the incomplete table in Room 777.

It should be the heavyweight guests in Room 888.

Xu Cheng was sitting in the private room looking at the menu. His assistant was sitting on the sofa beside him, seemingly replying to work messages by the looks of his typing. The server standing by Xu Cheng was carefully observing this customer, who had booked the room using a friend’s VIP card in advance.

"Is Master Huang Shengli here today?" Xu Cheng briefly perused the menu and found that the snacks were quite limited, with only Three Meat Buns and Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns available, and no sign of the Five Fillings Bun that his assistant mentioned.

"Master Huang is off this afternoon, but he’ll be in tonight." the server replied.

"So, the head chef at lunch today is Huang Jia?"

"Yes."

With little interest, Xu Cheng swiped the order tablet a couple of times, "Oh, Huang Jia, there’s nothing really worth eating. The only decent dish is the Braised Pig’s Head, and it requires pre-ordering."

"Sizzling Fried Eel... lacks skill."

"Oh well, since it’s a rare visit to Gusu, just get some specialty dishes."

"For hot dishes, I’d like to order the Sizzling Fried Eel and Squirrel Mandarin Fish. Also, please check with the kitchen on which seasonal vegetables are the freshest, and stir-fry one of those. For snacks... one order of Three Meat Buns, one order of Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns. Does the new Master Qin at your restaurant have any specialty dishes?"

"As for Master Qin, he makes Dried Tangerine Peel Tea, which sells well. We sell over 1,000 servings a day." the server said.

"Dried Tangerine Peel Tea?" Xu Cheng was a little surprised, "Then bring two servings."

"Alright, let me confirm your order..." The server reviewed the menu, smiled and left the room, closing the door, and glanced back at the room door with some doubt. Not entirely sure, he decided to head straight downstairs to the shift supervisor.
