Chapter 230: Jealous Jia Dongxu, the invitation letter is made public
At this time, in the east wing of the central courtyard, at Yi Zhonghai's home, Jia Dongxu was very difficult to accept after hearing Yi Zhonghai say that Wang Jianye had the opportunity to serve at the state banquet. "No, why did Wang Jianye get that chance? I remember he was only an apprentice for three years, how could he be invited to serve at the state banquet? Does he deserve it?"

Three months ago, Jia Dongxu was a fitter apprentice at a steel rolling mill, and Wang Jianye was a chef apprentice at Fengzeyuan, and they received similar salaries.

But at that time, Jia Dongxu felt superior to Wang Jianye, because Jia Dongxu's identity was a worker, and even if Wang Jianye was converted to a regular employee, he was just an ordinary cook and could not compare with his status.

But three months later, Jia Dongxu is still an apprentice fitter and his salary has not changed.

But Wang Jianye is no longer a chef apprentice, but has become the head chef of Fengzeyuan. He has also been given the opportunity to prepare state banquets and earns three to five times more than Jia Dongxu.

Therefore, when Jia Dongxu knew that the gap between himself and Wang Jianye was getting bigger and bigger, he would naturally feel unbalanced, envious, jealous, and did not want to see Wang Jianye do well.

He is afraid that his brother is having a hard life, and he is also afraid that his brother is driving a Land Rover. Wang Jianye is not even his brother, so he is even more afraid that Wang Jianye is living a better life than him.

Yi Zhonghai knew that Jia Dongxu must be very upset after knowing how powerful Wang Jianye was, so he sighed and advised: "Don't be too jealous of him. Wang Jianye is gifted and was born to do this job. God has given him a bowl to feed him. We ordinary people can't compare to him. It's enough for us to live our own lives."

Although this is true, Jia Dongxu still finds it hard to accept that Wang Jianye, whom he grew up with and whom he disliked and looked down upon, is now so successful.

If it was someone he didn't know who was so capable, he might not think it was a big deal. The key point is that he and Wang Jianye moved into this courtyard at about the same time, grew up together, and were very familiar with each other. This made people uncomfortable.

Yi Zhonghai asked Jia Dongxu to help call everyone in the courtyard over and hold a meeting in the middle courtyard to discuss something.

Although this courtyard is not as crowded as it would be a few years later when there were twenty households and hundreds of people living in it, it now has more than ten households and fifty to sixty people.

Jia Dongxu notified everyone door to door.

Soon, most of the people in the courtyard came to the middle courtyard waiting for the meeting, and they were chattering and talking.

Yi Zhonghai sat in the main seat, the second uncle Liu Haizhong sat on the left, and the third uncle Yan Fugui sat on the right, who were the right-hand men of Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle.

Yi Zhonghai saw that most of the people in the courtyard had arrived. After looking at Wang Jianye in the crowd, he cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Everyone, be quiet. Let's start the meeting now."

After Yi Zhonghai spoke, the yard quickly became quiet, which made the second uncle Liu Haizhong feel a little uncomfortable because his words were not as effective as Yi Zhonghai's.

Yi Zhonghai continued, "This is the matter. Didn't three people come to our hospital a few days ago to investigate Wang Jianye's situation? Everyone was wondering why those three people wanted to investigate Wang Jianye, and whether Wang Jianye had committed any crime.

Now I can tell you responsibly that the three people investigated Wang Jianye not because Wang Jianye had committed any crime outside, but because they had a good thing to do and needed to investigate Wang Jianye's identity and background. "

Having said that, Yi Zhonghai kept the question in suspense.

When the people below heard this, some were disappointed, some were curious, some were happy, and some didn't care.

Know the inside story.

For example, Zhang Lan, as well as Wang Jianye’s younger brothers and sisters, are happy for Wang Jianye and feel truly proud of him.

In addition to Wang Jianye's family, Jia Dongxu's wife Qin Huairu was also secretly happy for Wang Jianye. However, Jia Dongxu, who was next to Qin Huairu, looked very uncomfortable, as if he had eaten a fly.

Qin Huairu secretly glanced at Jia Dongxu beside her. After seeing Jia Dongxu's uncomfortable expression, she felt proud for Wang Jianye.

Look at Brother Wang, and then look at you. You are not as good as him in any aspect. Qin Huairu felt a little disgusted with Jia Dongxu.

Those who didn't know the inside story, such as Xu Damao's family in the backyard, from the old to the young, from the men to the women, were full of bad intentions. When they heard that those people came to investigate Wang Jianye because they had something good to do, they felt very unhappy, because this was different from what they had imagined before.

In their previous imagination, it would definitely not be a good thing if Wang Jianye was investigated by people from relevant departments in the yard. Originally, their family was gloating, but now after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, they could no longer be happy.

"Wang Jianye, you tell the story yourself." Yi Zhonghai looked at Wang Jianye and gave him the opportunity to explain.

Wang Jianye nodded, stood up and walked to the middle of the crowd, then took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and read aloud, "Invitation letter, respected Master Wang..."

After reading it, Wang Jianye looked at those people who were gloating over his misfortune, those who couldn't stand seeing him doing well, and those who were waiting to take advantage of him. "This is an invitation letter for me, inviting me to go to Xiyuan to prepare the state banquet. Those people came to investigate me a few days ago. It was a very important procedure. Now that the procedure is completed, I have received the invitation letter and am qualified to go to Xiyuan and prepare the state banquet with several other chefs."

The crowd suddenly exploded when they heard this.

"Wang Jianye is actually going to prepare for a state banquet?!"

"Who sent him the invitation? What was he thinking?"

"I remember Wang Jianye only studied cooking for three years, how come he can prepare a state banquet?"

"Aren't those who can be invited to prepare state banquets supposed to be master chefs with decades of cooking experience? Why can Wang Jianye be invited as well?"

"..."

Xu Damao and his father Xu Fugui heard the news for the first time and found it very unbelievable.

Xu Fugui frowned, "Why can Wang Jianye prepare for a state banquet? Is his level so high now?"

Xu Damao lowered his voice and said to Xu Fugui beside him, "Dad, do you think Wang Jianye's family has someone in Xiyuan?"

"Don't scare me."

Xu Fugui took a deep breath, then shook his head after realizing what was happening. "It's unlikely. After all, if the Wang family really had someone in Xiyuan, they definitely wouldn't live in this compound."

Xu Damao felt that what Xu Fugui said made sense. "In that case, it could be that Wang Jianye's level is too high, and he got the invitation based on his real ability... But that's also outrageous."

Sha Zhu and his sister He Yushui in the crowd also heard the news for the first time.

When He Yushui heard everyone was amazed, he asked innocently, "Brother, is it amazing to prepare a state banquet? Why are everyone so surprised?"

Sha Zhu scratched his head and explained to He Yushui in a way that she could understand: "Putting aside our father's character, let me ask you, is the food our father cooks especially delicious?"

He Yushui nodded and couldn't help swallowing.

Sha Zhu continued, "But a chef of our father's level has no chance to prepare a state banquet. No one invites him, but Brother Wang gets this opportunity. This shows that Brother Wang's cooking skills are much higher than our father's. The dishes he cooks are much more delicious than our father's."

He Yushui understood and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Wang's dishes are even better than our father's?! How delicious must his dishes be?"

He Yushui wants to try it.
