The chubby, half-bald, sleepy-looking chef at the state-run restaurant where Song Xuezhi works. His name sounds like balding. He is easygoing and gave Song Xuezhi two steamed buns on her first day. He informed her that breakfast is included and that she can come later since they don't open that early. He introduced her to the restaurant operations and let her take leftovers home after work, including fried fish, stir-fried cabbage, and rice.
