Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

Chapter 597: Chapter 506: How Could Anyone Sway the Will of City Leaders? (2)

Xin Jinghui wore an expression of "Don’t get too cocky with your laughing," and said calmly, "Old Wan, you seem to have overlooked a crucial point. On New Year’s Day, given our responsibilities, we can’t just leave our posts or take leave. At that time, the city leaders’ itinerary will be our guide; wherever they go, we have to follow, right?"

Wan Zhenhong: "..."

How did he overlook this key point...

Fine~

Since God closed a door for him, he could only go through the window...

He said with a cheerful smile, "Old Xin, after thinking it over, we really need to ask Director Wei for help, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Jinghui nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a thoughtful glow, "Indeed, Director Wei has a deep connection with Mayor Yang. If he steps in, it’ll definitely be twice the result with half the effort. Just... not sure if Director Wei would be willing to lend a hand..."

Seeing this, Wan Zhenhong immediately chimed in confidently, "Don’t worry, Old Xin! Director Wei will surely help! Don’t you remember? Lately, he’s been constantly talking about Chef Huang’s unforgettable culinary skills! Just a couple of days ago, he mentioned to me that if there’s a chance, he’d like to taste Chef Huang’s cooking again!"

Hearing this made Xin Jinghui’s eyes flash with a smile, and his spirits lifted instantly, "In that case, what are we waiting for? Let’s head to Director Wei’s office and discuss our strategy properly!"

"Right, let’s go!"

Wan Zhenhong eagerly responded, the two shared a smile and, with great tacit understanding, set off side by side toward Director Wei’s office.

Along the way.

They warmly greeted every colleague they met, smiling broadly, the atmosphere harmonious.

Soon.

Their figures appeared in front of the director’s office door, and Wan Zhenhong eagerly pushed it open, loudly saying, "Director Wei..."

Wei Guodong was startled by the sudden noise and looked up from his desk, seeing it was Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui, he gazed with a mix of surprise and amusement, "Oh, Vice Director Wan, Director Xin, what brings about this impromptu visit today? Knocking before entering is an unwritten rule here, you know!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui exchanged a slightly embarrassed look, secretly thinking: This Director Wei, sure nitpicky...

But they quickly adjusted their attitudes, with Wan Zhenhong laughing heartily to ease the subtle tension, "Haha, Director Wei, you’re right to give us a lesson. We indeed overlooked it. How about this, we’ll start over and make up for this ’door knocking etiquette’."

With that, the two of them cooperatively took a few steps back and lightly closed the door.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Wan Zhenhong raised his arm and gently knocked on the door a few times.

Watching this scene, Wei Guodong: "..."

These two, early in the morning, popping in and out, are they messing with me?

He shook his head, a wry smile on his lips, then loudly said, "Come in!"

With these words...

Wan Zhenhong now pushed open the door more steadily while Xin Jinghui followed suit, and both men stepped into the director’s office.

"Have a seat, you two."

Wei Guodong glanced at them and gestured with his hand for them to sit.

"Thank you, Director Wei."

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui responded, each picking an appropriate spot and sitting down steadily.

Then, Wan Zhenhong gathered his thoughts and was the first to speak, "Director Wei, we’ve come this time with an awkward request, hoping you could help solve a problem."

"Oh?"

Wei Guodong straightened a bit, his gaze moving between the two with great interest, "Let’s hear it, what has you two in such a rush?"

Wan Zhenhong began to explain slowly, "Director Wei, as you know, next month is New Year’s Day. According to previous years’ customs, city leaders will visit kindergartens to express their care, and our education bureau leaders need to accompany them. However, this year we don’t know which kindergarten they’ll go to. We’d really like to visit Dorami Kindergarten. Considering your good relationship with Mayor Yang, we dare to ask you to step in and mediate this."

Not yet getting the hint of their ulterior motive, Wei Guodong looked a little troubled, lightly shaking his big head, "This... after all, it’s the city leaders’ schedule, I’m afraid..."

Xin Jinghui had to play his trump card, "Director Wei, why not think from another angle. If the city leaders could visit ’Dorami’ Kindergarten, wouldn’t we have the chance to taste Chef Huang’s cooking?"

Wan Zhenhong immediately added, "Yes, Director Wei, you just mentioned Chef Huang’s cooking a few days ago. Now there’s an open and legitimate opportunity to ’mooch a meal,’ we have to seize it! Otherwise, if we miss it, it won’t come around again..."

Wei Guodong fell silent, contemplating...

Indeed.

Chef Huang’s cooking is a rare delicacy, and such an opportunity is also rare...

Can’t miss it...

He curved his lips into a knowing smile and conceded, "Alright, since you both are looking forward to it so much, I’ll try my best and see if I can make it happen."

Great!

Wan Zhenhong and Xin Jinghui were instantly elated as if they were two-hundred-pound happy men.

Wei Guodong picked up his phone, his finger lightly sliding across the screen, finding Mayor Yang’s contact, then gently pressing it to make the call.

A moment later.

The call connected.

And soon enough, Mayor Yang’s familiar voice came from the other end, "Hello, Old Wei, long time no see, what made you think of calling me today?"
