Chapter 229 Yi Zhonghai is shocked, and his family is relieved
Wang Jianye pushed his bicycle to the central courtyard and went straight into the east wing, Yi Zhonghai's home.
As a senior fitter in the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai earns more than 60 yuan a month, which is considered very high in this courtyard, but he lives a very simple life. There is nothing valuable in the room he lives in.
On the one hand, because Aunt Yi was in poor health, Yi Zhonghai often took her to see a doctor, which cost money. On the other hand, because Yi Zhonghai and Aunt Yi had no children, they had to save money for their retirement.
When Wang Jianye entered Yi Zhonghai's east wing, his family had just finished dinner. An aunt was cleaning up the dishes, while Yi Zhonghai was sitting aside resting.
Seeing Wang Jianye coming, Yi Zhonghai asked curiously, "Jianye, what's the matter?"
"Is there something going on? No, can I come to the temple?" Wang Jianye smiled and walked into the house. He did not chat with Yi Zhonghai, but said directly:
"Uncle, there is something I need your help with. I want you to convene a meeting for me. Didn't three people come to our hospital to investigate me some time ago? Everyone made wild guesses about what I did outside.
I have to explain this matter clearly, but it is troublesome to explain it to everyone one by one, so I want to explain this matter clearly in front of everyone at the whole hospital meeting, so that everyone will not make blind guesses in the future. What do you think, uncle?"
Yi Zhonghai and the aunt looked at each other, then looked at Wang Jianye and asked, "People from the relevant departments are here to investigate you. What's going on?"
"It's like this. Those people came to our hospital to investigate me, not because I had committed any crime outside, but because I was going to prepare a state banquet at Xiyuan on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. Xiyuan is a place like that, and the state banquet is of that standard. The people participating in the banquet are all top-level bigwigs. So before inviting me to Xiyuan to prepare the state banquet, they had to conduct necessary inspections on me. This is normal."
Wang Jianye said, taking out a piece of paper from his bag, "Now the investigation has been completed, there is no problem, so I received an invitation letter, uncle, take a look."
"what?!"
After hearing Wang Jianye's words, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie were very shocked. They had never thought that Wang Jianye was actually qualified to host a state banquet.
In their minds, the Xiyuan State Banquet was so grand and noble, and Wang Jianye was just a kid they had watched grow up, a kid who ran around in open-crotch pants and peed and played in the mud when he was a child. Now he was qualified to host a state banquet...
The two found it very difficult to accept.
But this invitation letter with the official seal in front of me cannot be forged, and no one dares to forge it.
After all, forging an ordinary official seal is already illegal, let alone the Xiyuan official seal that represents extremely high power.
"Why did they send you an invitation?" Yi Zhonghai couldn't understand. "Shouldn't the chefs invited to prepare state banquets be in their 50s or 60s? How come you have this opportunity when you are only 21 years old?"
Although Yi Zhonghai had never eaten or seen a state banquet, he imagined it should be like this. However, Wang Jianye was so young, which obviously did not fit his imagination. This made Yi Zhonghai, who had lived for so many years, somewhat doubt his life.
"It's simple. They invited me because my cooking is good enough and tasty enough." Wang Jianye smiled and asked, "Uncle No. 1, can you help me with this? If you can't, I'll go to the backyard to find Uncle No. 2."
Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and said, "I'll help you."
"Thank you very much, uncle."
Wang Jianye left Yi Zhonghai's house and met Jia Dongxu coming towards the east wing.
Wang Jianye appeared in the courtyard safely. Jia Dongxu, who thought he was in trouble, was a little surprised and asked, "After they investigated you, are you okay?"
"Not only am I fine, but I also have the opportunity to prepare a state banquet."
"what?"
Jia Dongxu thought he had misheard.
He seemed to have heard the words "preparing a state banquet" and immediately felt that it was impossible. How could Wang Jianye have such an opportunity? "You can ask the uncle and you will know."
Wang Jianye didn't waste time explaining to him, but pushed his bicycle parked in the east wing and returned to the backyard.
Here, Wang Jianye happened to meet Aunt Xu and Second Aunt who were washing dishes by the pool in the yard, chatting, and looking towards the north room from time to time. The north room was Wang Jianye's home.
It was obvious that these two old ladies were gossiping again, and they were still talking about Wang Jianye's family.
When Wang Jianye pushed his bicycle over, the two old ladies hadn't noticed him yet and were still gossiping.
"Look at their family, they've changed into new clothes and eat meat every day. Wang Jianye must have done something bad outside."
"I think so too. Otherwise, why did those people come to our hospital to investigate a few days ago? It must be something bad."
"..."
"Aunt Xu and Aunt Xu, what are you two talking about? You look so happy, are you gloating over someone else's misfortune?"
Wang Jianye's sudden words startled the two of them.
Seeing that the person they were chatting about had returned, they suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
In particular, Wang Jianye bluntly exposed their thoughts without showing any mercy.
"We are just talking about the people who came to investigate you a few days ago. Many people are saying that you are going to be arrested or something like that." Aunt Xu said awkwardly and distanced herself from the matter. "I just heard what they said. I don't think that at all."
Wang Jianye didn't say much and went straight home.
Seeing Wang Jianye coming back, Zhang Lan said excitedly, "I heard from your two brothers that you were invited to a state banquet. The invitation has been sent, right? Come on, show it to me."
"Here it is."
Wang Jianye took out his invitation letter from his bag.
After Zhang Lan quickly took it, Wang Jianting and Wang Jiannan came forward to look at the contents together.
"It really is an invitation letter for a state banquet. Is this Master Wang you?" Zhang Lan looked at Wang Jianye excitedly and asked.
Wang Jianye nodded in relief and said with a smile, "Mom, can you rest assured now?"
Zhang Lan held the invitation letter in her hand and said happily, "I feel relieved."
Then he carefully handed the invitation letter back to Wang Jianye and said, "You must keep it well and don't lose it."
Wang Jianye nodded and put it into his bag, determined to protect this hard-earned invitation.
Because this kind of thing is a recognition and an honor for him, he will definitely cherish it.
