Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Hosting a Dinner

Since Qin Yang transferred here, the leadership and several colleagues have taken great care of him. His position isn’t considered high nor low, and according to tradition, a meal invitation to everyone is customary.

They didn’t plan to make any exceptions, simply that there were more transfers this time, and nobody wanted to be the first to step up.

Recently, with the bustle of the elder sister’s affairs, there were rumors that a few of the new transferees had begun to plan meals for everyone, so they followed suit.

"Sure thing, I’ll definitely come early," Jiang Hong readily agreed.

In no time, the weekend arrived, and Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang went to the market early to buy chicken, fish, and meat without skimping on anything.

These days, people preferred to serve plenty of meat and fish when hosting meals.

In the afternoon, Jiang Hong also came early. Just after she arrived, Sister-in-law Fu from next door came over to help.

Today, Qin Yang invited his superiors, Minister Wei Bingchang and his wife, the Hu Qing’an family, another colleague from the office, Fu Shouquan and his family, and finally, Li Wei and his wife.

Minister Wei Bingchang was a few years older than Hu Qing’an, nearly hitting 50, his wife Gong Shuling was also close to retirement age, and they had two sons: one working and another studying at a university out of town.

Qin Yang had said that besides his own will, Minister Wei had also greatly helped his transfer here; one could say he was specially requested by Minister Wei to come.

There were quite a few guests today, and Lin Chuxia bought a lot of ingredients, enough to set two tables—one for men and one for women—making it a lively scene.

Men clinked glasses and toasted at the table, while women chatted away.

Especially regarding Lin Chuxia’s cooking skills, the praises were endless.

Gong Shuling picked up a piece of fish and sincerely complimented, "I haven’t eaten so much in a long time. Every time Old Wei encourages me to eat more, I know it’s good for my health, but I just can’t manage to eat much. It turns out, it’s not a problem with my appetite; Old Wei’s cooking just doesn’t cut it."

From the moment Gong Shuling walked through the door, Lin Chuxia could tell that the woman was not in good health, exhibiting a frail thinness.

Including her complexion, there was an obvious lack of vitality.

Coming in with Minister Wei, although in this era men usually take precedence in public, Minister Wei took care of his wife every step of the way.

Now, listening to the conversation, Lin Chuxia could also tell that Minister Wei was very caring toward his wife, who was not in good health.

Sister-in-law Fu, who has been around for many years, knew even more.

Hearing this, she smiled and spoke up, "That’s easy to say. I’ve been wanting to learn the secrets too. Later, we should get Lin to teach us how to make these delicious fish and meat dishes so well. Next time, we can invite Minister Wei to join the class."

"I think that’s a great idea," Gong Shuling commented with a smile, looking at Lin Chuxia, "I just don’t know if Lin would be willing to teach."

"Of course, I’ll teach," Lin Chuxia said generously, "If I get to teach a minister, I must hold this class."

"Then I’ll be there too, becoming classmates with the minister," Sister-in-law Fu raised her hand on the side.

Minister Wei was known in the compound for being exceptionally good to his wife and for his pleasant temperament.
