As soon as Wang Jiefang spoke, before Yi Zhonghai could respond, someone shouted, "Wang Jiefang, you are so selfish! You can't keep this job anyway, so why not give it to us?"
Wang Jiefang turned to the speaker and thought, well, isn't this one of the seven who tried to snatch the job last time? They haven't given up yet!
Hearing the shout, Yi Zhonghai chimed in, "Exactly! Wang Jiefang, rather than letting this job go to someone else, why not give it to us in the courtyard? At least then we can remember you fondly!"
Wang Jiefang scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Oh please, remember me fondly? Who would believe that?" He then deliberately asked an elder nearby, "Elder, even if I give up this job, only one person can take my place. But there are seven people in our courtyard who need jobs. What do we do about that?"
Everyone thought about it and realized he had a point! Just moments ago they had been friendly; now the seven of them were glaring at each other!
Seeing the situation escalate, Yi Zhonghai quickly said to Wang Jiefang, "Don't worry about who gets the job. Just agree to let it go; we can discuss the rest together!"
This old man was quick on his feet, but it was pointless! Wang Jiefang replied directly, "You all can forget about this job. Even if I lose my chef's certificate, do you think you’ll get one? Have you even considered what you useless folks could do if you took my place? Better head home and wash up for bed; you can dream about anything!"
He continued, "And are you so sure that my chef's certificate will be revoked?"
After saying that, Wang Jiefang closed the door!
Seeing him shut the door, everyone was furious. "This blind man is too selfish! I want to see how he acts once he loses his job!"
"Yeah! We'll wait to see him get kicked out by the street office!"
At that moment, Sha Zhu said, "Director Wang from the street office takes good care of Wang Jiefang. What if she doesn’t fire him?"
"If she doesn’t fire him, we’ll go to the street office and complain about Director Wang! If she continues to protect him, we’ll report her to higher authorities!"
"Yes! Let’s report her!"
Yi Zhonghai watched as the crowd got riled up and smirked. "Let’s see how you act now that you've scolded me. Being a street office director is nothing special; I’ll bring you down sooner or later!"
Grandma heard the commotion outside and looked at Wang Jiefang with concern. "Jiefang, is everything alright?"
"Don’t worry, Grandma. What could possibly happen? If they keep making a fuss, it'll be their problem!"
"That’s good," Grandma said as she saw her grandson not taking these people seriously; she felt reassured.
Outside, Yi Zhonghai felt uneasy after hearing Wang Jiefang's last words. He found Sha Zhu and asked, "Are you sure Wang Jiefang's chef's certificate has been revoked?"
Sha Zhu patted his chest confidently. "Don’t worry, Elder! Wang Jiefang’s certificate is definitely gone. Otherwise, with all this fuss we’re making, how could he not defend himself?"
Yi Zhonghai thought Sha Zhu made sense and decided to believe him.
The next day, Wang Jiefang arrived at the street office kitchen. Before long, Director Wang called out to him with a smile. "Hey kid! I didn’t expect you actually got a first-class chef's certificate! You’ve brought honor to our street office!"
"Haha! My old boss even called to ask about it! Not bad! By the way, my old boss wants you to cook a meal at his house next week for some old comrades!"
"All according to Aunt Wang's arrangements!"
"Good! Director Wang is very satisfied with Wang Jiefang's attitude!"
However, Director Wang suddenly showed a troubled expression. "Jiefang, although you are now a first-class chef, you know that our street office can only offer you the salary of a fifth-class chef."
Wang Jiefang interrupted Director Wang, "Aunt Wang, I understand what you mean. I've said it before: no matter what level chef I am, I am still your soldier. When I had issues with my eyesight, you stood up for me and allowed me to try cooking, and you directly gave me the salary of a fifth-class chef! If it weren't for you, I'd still be at home doing nothing!"
"Honestly, if it weren't for this report, I wouldn't have even taken the exam for this first-class certificate. Aunt Wang, I'm happy just to work here; I'm satisfied with this salary! Plus, I often earn extra on the side; I'm really not short on money!"
Hearing Wang Jiefang speak so sincerely, Director Wang was moved. What a good kid! He knows how to be grateful!
Director Wang didn't expect that such a grateful child would be harassed by people from the same courtyard wanting to take his job away!
Looking at the people standing in front of her, her face darkened.
"Yi Zhonghai! Is this how you manage the courtyard? Bringing these people here to cause trouble?" Director Wang reprimanded Yi Zhonghai, who was leading the group.
"Director Wang, this isn't causing trouble. You said before that because our courtyard's young people didn't have certificates, we couldn't be assigned jobs. Now that Wang Jiefang doesn't have a certificate either, why should he still work at the street office?"
"If you've arranged a job for him, then you should also arrange jobs for us young people from the courtyard!"
Faced with Yi Zhonghai's aggressive stance, Director Wang suddenly realized something. Her expression turned strange as she looked at Yi Zhonghai. "Yi Zhonghai, did you say that Wang Jiefang doesn't have a chef's certificate? Who told you that?"
Seeing Director Wang's expression and hearing her question made Yi Zhonghai feel uneasy. At this point, he couldn't back down. He braced himself and said, "It was Shazhu who said so!"
Director Wang snorted coldly. "You believe what Shazhu says? That fool actually reported him without basis! I haven't settled accounts with him yet, and now he's causing more trouble!"
Yi Zhonghai hesitantly spoke up. "Director Wang, what do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? I mean that Wang Jiefang does have a chef's certificate and is currently a first-class chef! What face do you all have to compare yourselves to him? How dare you demand that our street office take away his job? Do we need your guidance on our work?"
"What? Wang Jiefang is actually a first-class chef now? My goodness, is he really that capable? Shazhu seems to only be an eighth-class chef!"
"How is that possible? Wasn't he just a fifth-class chef? How could he become even better after losing his eyesight?"
"Who knows? Now that Wang Jiefang is a first-class chef, there's no way the street office will let him go; we still have no jobs."
The people who followed Yi Zhonghai began to discuss among themselves upon hearing Director Wang's words. Cold sweat dripped down Yi Zhonghai's back as he said, "I'm sorry, Director Wang. I truly didn't know that Wang Jiefang is now a first-class chef; he never told me! Otherwise, we wouldn't have come to the street office!"
