Su Han was several years older than him. When they were young, they lived in a courtyard together, and the two of them often fought.
Xu Chengye was afraid of Su Han deep down. When he heard Li Jingming mention Su Han, he suddenly felt a little scared.
"If you want me to live, don't come to him."
Xu Chengye's tone was full of prayer.
Li Jingming looked at Xu Chengye's hopeless look and thought that Lao Xu should let Su Han take care of Xu Chengye. This would definitely be useful.
"Tell me, what do you think?"
Li Jingming sat beside Xu Chengye's bedside and checked to see if there was air entering the infusion tube, his expression as calm as if nothing was wrong.
"What do you think?
Didn’t I make it very clear to you last night?
I won't leave easily."
"Okay, since you won't leave, have you decided what to do?"
"It's decided, I want to become your teacher."
Xu Chengye's words almost scared Li Jingming, who looked surprised.
Is this guy's brain damaged by the chili pepper?
Just when Li Jingming suspected that Xu Chengye's disease might not be his appendix but his brain, Xu Chengye went on to say: "Whenever you completely accept me as your apprentice, I will leave."
Anyway, he had already thought about it. If he could, he would do it. No matter what, he had to earn his first pot of gold from Li Jingming.
"Why did you decide this?"
Li Jingming was puzzled. He wanted to hear the reason that made this guy change his mind overnight and want to worship him as his teacher?
"Because I have never made any money, you all look down on me because of this.
Especially your people, I don’t want to be called a useless person who has nothing to do, I want to prove it to you.”
Xu Chengye's words made Li Jingming feel that this guy looked like a mature man, but in fact there was a big discrepancy between his mental age and his actual age. This guy must have watched too many movies to be so naive.
"You want me to pay you a salary?
Is it easy?
Since you don’t want to leave, when you recover, you can do odd jobs in my factory and I will pay you a salary. Why do you have to become your teacher?"
"You said, if we cooperate in the future, I will ruin your brand.
As long as I become your apprentice, we will inevitably cooperate in the future. Even if I mess up our Xu family's business, you will take over your apprenticeship for the sake of the reputation of our master and apprentice, and the reputation of your brand.
Bundle.
Based on this calculation, I won’t lose money on this business.”
Li Jingming chuckled: "You are quite good at calculating. It seems that you still have a brain.
However, this depends on your own ability. Being my apprentice is not that easy.
Okay, let’s see if you can still say so many words to prove that your health is not serious. I’ll call you when I go back and tell you to have a good rest.”
Li Jingming chatted with Xu Chengye for a while, and for the first time his view of Xu Chengye changed.
In fact, he just loves to play, and is used to spending time in leisure, so his mind is definitely not on management.
This guy can be considered a man of integrity. Since he doesn't want to go back, let's keep him.
"Master, don't tell Lao Xu about my hospitalization, he will scold me."
Xu Chengye's voice was a little anxious, and Li Jingming said without looking back: "I haven't agreed yet."
After Li Jingming finished speaking, he closed the door of the ward behind his back when he went out.
Li Jingming thought that he had to go find his brother-in-law.
Since you want to help Lao Xu, let’s help him all at once.

On Yang Lina's side, after breakfast, she got into bed and took a deep sleep. When she woke up, the sun was already shining in the sky.
She saw that it was getting late and thought it had been a long time since she cooked at home, so she went out and bought pig trotters, ribs and vegetables.
When she came back, her hands were full of things. When she passed by the front house in front of the courtyard, several women who had rented the house hurried over to help Yang Lina carry her things.
This year, people's living standards have improved a lot, and their business is also very good.
The price of front-end houses in the entire farmer's market has increased by five yuan, but Yang Lina's front-end house has not increased by a penny.
Privately, these people are worried to death. Ten months have passed this year, but Yang Lina and her husband have not come to inform them about the price increase. They are thinking that there will be no price increase this year.
No, it's too late for them to be grateful.
I usually want to give something to these two people, but they go out early and come back late. Today, Yang Lina has a big belly and is carrying so many things, so she hurriedly helped carry the vegetables into the courtyard.
After Yang Lina thanked them, these people left the courtyard without stopping because there was still business outside the courtyard.
At this point, Xue Yurou was teaching "Quiet Night Thoughts" to Hua Hua in the living room, while Yang Lina watched the harmonious scene between her mother-in-law and grandson, humming a song, moving skillfully, and was busy in the kitchen neatly.
She bought pig's trotters and asked her boss to chop them into pieces for her. She washed the minced pig's trotters and put them into a casserole. After adding water, she poured some rice wine and ginger. After the water boiled, she skimmed off the floating trotters.
Foam, add seasonings, and simmer over low heat.
When the pig's trotters are simmered until chopsticks can pierce through them, add the kelp slices and white radish cut in advance to the soup, and then simmer slowly.
While the pig's trotters were stewing, Yang Lina sliced the pork belly, poured in rice wine and seasonings and marinated it for a while, then put the glutinous rice into the pot and stir-fried it, then mashed it, and added the chopped glutinous rice flour into the mashed glutinous rice flour.
Dice red and green peppers, add seasonings, and evenly dip both sides of the sliced marinated pork belly into glutinous rice flour.
When putting it on the plate, there are cut potato strips at the bottom of the plate. Finally, the pork belly dipped in glutinous rice flour is neatly placed on top of the potato strips, and steamed over high heat for forty minutes.
The two hard vegetables were finally settled, so Yang Lina fried a hot and sour cabbage and made a stir-fried minced pork with sour beans.
When Li Jingming came back, he looked at the little woman in the kitchen and couldn't take his eyes away.
At this time, Yang Lina's long, smooth black hair was pinned low on the back of her head with only a chopstick, and the two strands of hair on the temples gently swayed with the movements of her hands.
She wore a white turtleneck loose sweater on her upper body, a pair of black trousers on her lower body, and a pair of cotton slippers on her feet, which made her even more gentle.
The casserole on the stove was steaming, and the pot next to it was filled with the aroma of meat wafting from the steam rising from the edge of the pot.
Li Jingming was a little lost in thought when he saw this beautiful scene. With a happy smile on his face, he walked into the kitchen.
Yang Lina seemed to notice that Li Jingming was back. She turned her head slightly, with a touching smile on her eyebrows, raised her thin lips, and said in a soft voice: "Are you back?"
Li Jingming walked over and put his arms around Yang Lina from behind, as if he had everything.
She is so good, how could he let her go?
"I went to the hotpot restaurant to look for you, but when I didn't find you, I knew you were greedy again today.
As soon as I entered the yard, I couldn't walk because of the smell of the food you cooked."
