Siheyuan: Mastery started in the 50s

Chapter 384 In this situation

He walked over to Wang Qiang, patted him on the shoulder, and said with praise: "Xiao Qiang, you did a good job. Although our group is usually very busy, it is really rare for us to be able to leave these memories together."

Wang Qiang felt the hand on his shoulder, and was touched. He smiled and responded, "Master He, you have led us all the way here, and we will continue to work hard to run this business better together." He nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a little emotion, "Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, you young people have matured. In the future, this store will depend on you to take care of it."

Wang Qiang felt both pressure and motivation when he heard these words. He knew that He Yuzhu hoped that he could take on more responsibilities, and he was willing to work harder for this store and these friends.

That night, after taking photos, we had a simple dinner together. Although it was just some home-cooked dishes, everyone enjoyed the meal very much. At the dinner table, everyone talked about interesting things at work and shared their feelings with each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Wang Qiang looked at everything in front of him with gratitude in his heart. He knew that he could not have come this far without everyone's support and help. Although there are still many unknown challenges ahead, he believes that as long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and welcome a better future together.

It was late at night, and everyone went their separate ways. Wang Qiang returned to his room, lay on the bed, took out his camera and looked at the photo again. Every smiling face in the photo was so real and warm, which made him feel extremely satisfied. He knew that this was not just a group photo, but also a testimony of their common struggle and a precious memory that belonged to them.

Wang Qiang thought silently in his heart: "No matter what happens in the future, I will remember this moment and this group of friends who have walked through this together." He put the camera next to his pillow, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a smile on his face.

In the following days, Wang Qiang continued to devote himself to his busy work. However, whenever he felt tired or encountered difficulties, he would take out the photo and look at it, as if he had drawn endless strength and confidence from it. This photo became an inspiration in his heart, reminding him to keep his original aspiration in mind and keep moving forward. Wang Qiang became more and more determined on this challenging culinary road. His relationship with He Yuzhu and his colleagues also became closer. They were no longer just simple colleagues, but friends and family who trusted and supported each other.

A few days later, Wang Qiang finished his day's work, thinking that today's dishes were particularly smooth and the guests praised them highly, which made him feel a special sense of satisfaction. In the evening, the work in the store finally came to an end. Wang Qiang cleaned up the kitchen, said goodbye to He Yuzhu and his colleagues, and prepared to go home.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he suddenly found that the sky was covered with dark clouds and the wind began to become stronger. Wang Qiang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself: "It looks like it's going to rain today. I have to go home quickly." He quickened his pace, thinking about getting to the nearby bus stop as soon as possible, hoping to get on a bus before the heavy rain came.

However, the weather was not good. As soon as Wang Qiang reached the entrance of the alley, big raindrops fell on his head. The rain came so fast that Wang Qiang didn't even have time to find a place to take shelter. He was soaked in an instant. His clothes were wet and stuck to his body. The cold penetrated from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, making him shiver.

"What bad luck!" Wang Qiang was a little annoyed. If he had known that he would encounter such a heavy rain, he should have brought an umbrella with him when he went out. He wiped the rain off his face and looked around. He found an old tree not far ahead. There was a small area under the tree that could barely shelter him from the rain.

Wang Qiang ran over quickly and hid under a tree, temporarily avoiding the heavy rain. He crossed his arms, trying to keep himself warm, and began to think about his next move. It was raining so hard that he couldn't go home immediately, so he had to wait until the rain subsided before leaving.

Standing under the tree, the raindrops kept dripping from the leaves, making a "tick-tick" sound, like a low chorus of nature. Wang Qiang sighed helplessly. He had thought about going home to have a good rest, but he was trapped here. However, standing under this old tree, he also felt a little unexpectedly peaceful. This tree is like the guardian of this small alley, standing here year after year, silently watching everything around it.

The rain showed no signs of letting up, instead it got heavier. The raindrops hit the ground, splashing water. The entire alley was covered in rain. There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a car passed by, and the splashing water flickered in the reflection of the car lights.

Wang Qiang looked at the rain in front of him and suddenly felt a little lost. This rain made him realize that sometimes there are always some unforeseen accidents in life, just like this sudden heavy rain, which disrupts plans and tests people's patience and coping ability. He knew that he must learn to find a balance among these accidents and maintain inner peace.

Just as he was deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly came from a distance: "Wang Qiang, why are you hiding from the rain here?"

Wang Qiang looked up and saw He Yuzhu holding a big black umbrella and walking towards him. Seeing He Yuzhu, Wang Qiang felt warm in his heart and hurried to meet him. "Why are you out too?" Wang Qiang was a little surprised, because he knew that He Yuzhu rarely went out so late.

He Yuzhu approached, moved the umbrella towards Wang Qiang's head, and said with a smile: "I was just on my way home and passed by here and saw a figure. I got closer and found it was you. I guess you didn't bring an umbrella and were trapped by this heavy rain, right?"

Wang Qiang smiled sheepishly and nodded in acknowledgement: "Yes, I didn't expect the rain to come so suddenly. I ended up getting soaked."

He Yuzhu looked at his wet clothes and frowned slightly: "You will catch a cold. This rain won't stop for a while. Come back with me. My place is not far from here. Let's go when the rain stops."

Wang Qiang was grateful. He knew that it was not a good idea for him to continue standing here under such circumstances. So he stopped refusing and nodded: "Thank you, Master He."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Let's go."

The two walked side by side in the rain, He Yuzhu held up an umbrella, trying to cover Wang Qiang as much as possible. Although the umbrella was not big, He Yuzhu kept tilting the umbrella towards Wang Qiang, so he got a little wet. Wang Qiang saw this and felt a warm current flowing through his heart, thinking that he was really lucky to have met such a caring master.
