Chapter 151: Why did she ask Siyi to try her cooking instead of him? (3)
Butler Lin turned and looked at Chef Chen. Wiping away his sweat, he asked, “Old Chen, what are you fretting about? Just remember what Young Master has said to you. You are just starting your paid vacation early.”
Chen Qi gave him a wry smile, “Do you think Young Master is tired of my cooking?”
When he came over to make breakfast this morning, he was told by Butler Lin that he was being put on paid leave effective today.
“You are overthinking this. Young Master did not have me look for a new chef. Just enjoy your time off and work hard when you return.” Butler Lin tried to comfort him.
Chen Qi was still frowning with worries. “Will Young Master still need me by the time I return? Or that Young Master will want Miss Gu to take over cooking from now on?”
He was truly worried. Even though his employer was cold and distant and had a poor reputation, the benefits here were top-notched. Plus, work here was much cushier than at a restaurant and he was well-respected and not ill-treated.
“Old Chen, what are you talking about? You think Young Master will have Miss Gu cook from now on?” Butler Lin had an odd look on him. “Do I need to remind you of the role of Miss Gu?”
She was the Young Master’s fiancée!
“How do you think she was being treated compared to the last two?” Butler Lin added.
Chef Chen was enlightened. Sticking his thumb up, he said, “Miss Gu is this!”
Not even on the same caliber as the last two! Young Master had never paid the last two any attention at all, let alone asking the kitchen to prepare special meals for her.
“So, do you get it now?”Having said that, Butler Lin walked out of the dining room with his hands behind his back. He stopped again when he reached the entrance.
“Have your apprentices be on the lookout and have a grasp on the situation. Don’t try to boss Miss Gu around. Anything of the dicing and chopping that are high risk, they better be taking them over. If she cut herself or burn herself, I wouldn’t be able to defend you.”
Chef Chen smacked himself on his forehead like he had just been shown the ways!
Why did he bother giving Miss Gu any recipes? Was he an idiot? All Miss Gu needed to do was the scoop the food out from the pan and that was that!
Young Master did not kick Miss Gu out. At the rate things go, she would be the future Madam of the house!
He couldn’t be more wrong before. If they truly tried to have her as a cook, things certainly would not end well!
Chef Chen quickly rushed over to warn his apprentices.
Gu Shishi, who was already labeled as “the future Madam” and “the one in control of their salaries”, had no idea what had transpired in the kitchen.
She was still making notes on the recipes as she sat in the bus.
She did, however, receive system notifications before she arrived at the art studio.
[Received fondness from Chen Qi, Zhao Dandan, and Liu Mengdi.]
“Eh?”
Gu Shishi paused in her tracks.
Chen Qi was the name of the master chef. But who were the other two?
She flipped through the system and found out that they were the cooks at the mansion.
Were they Chef Chen’s assistants? Perhaps because she was doing the master chef a favor this time?
Gu Shishi quickly arrived at a conclusion and put the thought aside.
Before she got inside the elevator, she waved at a girl who was pacing back and forth with a mask on.
“This way, MeowMeow.”
“Shhhhh…. Don’t be so loud. And don’t call me MeowMeow.”
Chen Kexin noticed that everybody around them were looking at her. She regretted picking that as her alias online.
“Kexin? Xiao Ke? Xinxin?”
Gu Shishi raised her brows.
Chen Kexin’s lips twitched. All of those sounded even more intimate!
“You… are you aware that you are the common enemy among all my girlfriends?” Chen Kexin was dripping sweat.
“Oh? So, you hate me too?” Gu Shishi pulled back her hand that was reaching for the fans.
Chen Kexin had been staring intently at her hand ever since she had opened up her bag. She felt even more impatient when she saw the dark green, delicate-looking paper box. But then she saw Gu Shishi put the box back to where it was.
Chen Kexin, “….” She and her big mouth!!
