Chapter 294 – Catastrophe In The Future.
Li Xue did not know what was happening outside. She could hear some low booming arguments but did not care to go out to check on the situation. It was not necessary for everyone to jump into the hassle to ease the argument and then end up making it more worse than before.
But how can she forget that in her team, there is also a chirping bird who loves to sing the latest songs from all around the world?
When Li Xue was trying her best to ignore the voices from outside, Mia came running in to give her all the details. To become the exclusive messenger of the masses sent to the saviour.
Did she really think that Li Xue was some messenger that could amend all the issues happening around the world? The woman's lips curled unconsciously when something like this popped into the brain. Mia would be really naïve to think something like this, wouldn't she?
"Li Xue, there is a big mess outside and even Chef Ning is not able to control it. You have to come with me and see it", Mia said panting, trying her best to normalize her breaths. Seeing her like this huffing and puffing for air, one can say that it must be really tiresome to collect the news as a pastime job.
"Li Xue …" Mia was about to urge more but before she could, Li Xue said on her own. Her eyes still all trained on the counter as her fingers busy in completing yet another delicious creation.
"Mia, everyone is not capable of solving everything. Sometimes we should let other people take initiative in handling their problems on their own. And at this moment, I feel like we should do the same. If there is a problem, I think Chef Ning along with Director Huo's help can resolve it with ease. We don't need to jump in between when there is already a senior staff dealing with it"
Li Xue was not wrong with her words. Since there was already Chef Ning out handling the things, it will only create complications and rivalries if she too went out.
"But Li Xue, Chef Ning is not able to handle it and Director Huo is not present here. He has gone out for some work. With that old lady looking down on our brand and chefs working here, it will only bring a negative effect to us. It has already garnered too many customers' attention and will garner more and more if not resolved in time"
Mia said, defending her stance and she was not wrong either. She too got the point as at the end Li Xue could not ignore the fact that everyone working here under the roof of Sweet Delicacy were a team. And it was always appreciated to use team efforts to resolve any rising problem.
Chen Yujian, who was already getting bored of his life was not at all interested in these dramas, so he simply said, "I would not interrupt the two pretty ladies' thoughts. You can discuss the matter on your own. My vote of support would be non-partial, that means in the support of both of yours put forward a point. For now, I will only go to the pantry and let the staff over there know our requirements"
He said and Li Xue rolled her eyes at his antics of self – importance. "We never intended to take your vote of support, Yujian. You can proceed with your work and we won't disturb you either". The woman said accepting his words with wide-open arms.
The young boy wanted to talk back with her but suddenly a forceful wave of mannerism hit him hard when realized that the woman standing in front of him had thousands of ways to torture him without coming in the notice in anyone's eyes. She was a deadly phenomenon on her own and with his own uncle's loving support, she would become a catastrophe in the near future! So pulling his lips in his own forced smile, he made his way to complete his assigned job.
Taking the main way to reach the pantry department, Chen Yujian passed through the scene of chaos but was unable to see the faces of the people involved. Due to the crowd of people around, the face of both side representatives, that is Chef Ning of Sweet Delicacy and the other woman customer involved was all concealed.
If it had been any other person than the curiosity to know the things would have ruled. But since it was Chen Yujian … he was truly too bored to care about his own useless curiosity. Shrugging his shoulders nonchalantly, he made his way out from the place.
Back inside, Li Xue pursed her lips as she looked at Mia. Then nodding her head with some thought she said, "Fine, let's go and check. Hope it gets better and I don't worsen the situation more."
Mia smiled and shook her head denying the negativity of Li Xue's thoughts. "How can that be? I can bet that you are meant for victory, no matter where you go. So I am all sure that you would not worsen the things, rather would resolve it for good" She said, hooking her arms lightly around Li Xue's arms.
This girl was a little too sweet for her own liking. Li Xue thought as she made her way out with the girl in her arms. For some reasons with Mia, she often gets the vibes of her Yenay around. She was so like her. And that was one of the reasons why she could not say a straightforward 'no' to her demands.
When approached the scene, Li Xue could hear the exasperated voice of Chef Ning. "Ma'am, we are already saying that the dessert you are asking for is not in our menu list anymore and we can't go for the hassle by accepting your order, just because you say you are our old customer. If you want something, we can help you get some discount on the desserts we have with us but we can't just go and prepare something out of our menu list for you".
Hearing the words of Chef Ning, Li Xue somewhat understood the scenario. But then again, the things could not be this simple or else it had long been resolved. And also she can feel the slight tinge of fear and panic mixed in the tone of Ning Meiling's exasperation. Something that was out of her usual arrogance and professionalism.
What was exactly with the sweet dish they were talking about?
