Chapter 791: Chapter 575: You Guys Plotting Quietly Right in Front of Us—Do You Really Think We’re Deaf?

"Crackle~crackle~"

As the last few gentle clinks of utensils faded, the teachers laid down their chopsticks, signaling the quiet end of their delightful lunchtime gathering.

Each teacher was so fully satisfied from the meal that they carelessly lounged back in their chairs, gently massaging their slightly bloated bellies to ease the mild discomfort from overeating.

If an outsider happened to witness this scene, they might mistakenly think these teachers were collectively enjoying a "pregnancy" moment.

Xie Jianing, her face brimming with a blissful smile, couldn’t help but sigh contentedly, "Ah... this meal was so satisfying, it feels like it quietly made up for all those little regrets I’d been having lately..."

"Exactly... even though my stomach is already round and full, the sense of fulfillment inside is indescribable... It’s worth it even if I overstuffed myself!" Jiang Xinzhuo echoed with heartfelt agreement.

Cai Jingxian, with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery, laughed, "I really can’t eat anymore, but my heart still craves it. It’s just a pity my belly can’t fit anything else..."

"Yes, yes, I’m the same way!"

Wei Siyi nodded along with a smile but frowned slightly, thinking about how if she continued eating like this without restraint, she would soon "balloon up." "If I keep this pace, my weight will probably rocket up within a week, landing me in the ’chubby girl’ category."

She sighed lightly, her face a mix of satisfaction and helplessness, "Ah, it’s both a joy and a pain... the allure of food is irresistible, but the rising weight is worrisome."

Upon hearing this, the other teachers’ smiles gradually faded, replaced by a shared look of understanding.

However, asking them to give up on enjoying food was out of the question...

No way!

Even if it meant "eating themselves to death," they were willing to drown in this ocean of deliciousness, at least at this moment, their taste buds were satisfied, and their spirits were joyful.

Cai Jingxian broke the silence first, laughing helplessly, "Looks like we need to ramp up our exercise, or the price of these gastronomic delights is no joke; the extra inches on the waist don’t lie."

Zheng Yujia promptly agreed, "Lucky for us, the employee activity room is long finished. We can just lift more weights to burn off what we’ve eaten! This way, we might feel a little less guilty."

Jiang Xinzhuo also nodded in agreement, "Yes, indeed, since we can’t control our mouths, we have to move our legs. A balanced diet plus moderate exercise is the key to maintaining a good figure."

Meanwhile, the recently arrived garden leaders and construction workers were completely engrossed in the culinary world, oblivious to the teachers’ conversation, occasionally glancing up at the teachers with knowing smiles.

From their perspective, when faced with such food, it’s natural to eat first!

As for losing weight...

There’s no rush; it’s not too late to think about it after a full meal, after all, you need to be full to have the energy to lose weight!

And the construction workers, thinking about how the project would be completed in the next couple of days, felt a little reluctant and regretful knowing they’d soon be deprived of Huang Jun’s delicious meals.

Lin Weijian sighed, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, "Ah, after the day after tomorrow, it’ll be difficult for us to enjoy Chef Huang’s delectable meals. Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it’s been hollowed out—an indescribable feeling, both empty and somewhat unwilling."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhang nodded while not forgetting to shove another bite of garlic pork into his mouth, as if trying to hold onto the rapidly disappearing taste, "Yeah, I feel the same way! Now it’s a case of the more you eat, the less there is, gotta eat a lot now, to etch this flavor into memory."

Xiaowang also shook his head helplessly, a trace of regret in his eyes, "I really wish this project would go on a few more days, even just a few more days would be nice. Who knew that if we’d known we wouldn’t have worked so hard to rush it, now it’s all completed ahead of time, but we’re also saying goodbye to this deliciousness early."

Upon hearing this, a gleam of inspiration flashed in Lin Weijian’s eyes, and he remembered a previously budding yet unacted-upon idea. He blurted out, "Want to stay a few more days to enjoy the garden’s delicacies, that’s not hard at all..."

"Weijian, did you think of a good idea? Please share it with us."

Upon hearing this, both Xiaozhang and Xiaowang focused their curious gazes on him, eyes full of anticipation.

Feeling their eager anticipation, Lin Weilin weakly shared his idea, "Isn’t there a saying, ’slack off on purpose’—we can slow down a bit, not rush to finish, and that way we can enjoy Chef Huang’s cooking for a few more days, right? Of course, all of this is on the premise of maintaining quality, we’re just adjusting our pace a little bit. That way we can enjoy food and maintain work quality; isn’t that the best of both worlds?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhang and Xiaowang’s eyes lit up instantly, having a moment of realization.

Yes!

Why didn’t they think of such an ingenious idea?

Although doing so might slightly extend the schedule, compared to the impending loss of this feast, this little sacrifice is nothing.

But then again...

Is this really appropriate to do?

Wouldn’t it seem a bit unethical?

Though they genuinely wanted to do this deep down, their sense of honesty and dedication made them hesitate for a moment.
