Shi Hangyu looked like an elite in a suit and leather shoes. He carried a bag and found the lobby manager. He said very seriously, “Hello, Manager Zhang! My name is Shi Hangyu!”

Manager Zhang narrowed his eyes at Shi Hangyu and asked with a smile, “Dear customer, is there anything wrong with our hospitality?”

Shi Hangyu shook his head. “No, Manager Zhang, you’ve misunderstood.”

“Oh, then what’s the matter, Mr. Shi?” Manager Zhang asked in confusion.

Shi Hangyu said, “Manager Zhang, it’s like this. Today is my wife’s birthday. 1 want to use your kitchen to personally cook two dishes for my wife to give her a surprise. I wonder if Manager Zhang can do me a favor?”

When Manager Zhang heard this, he said awkwardly, “This Mr. Shi, the kitchen is an important place. Our hotel usually doesn’t allow outsiders to enter. Please forgive me!”

Ordinary people really couldn’t enter the kitchen. Of course, it was a different story for people of high status.

Shi Hangyu’s clothes did not look bad, but most of the people who could afford to stay in a five-star hotel were rich.

Therefore, it was not a big deal to reject a guest dressed like Shi Hangyu.

Manager Zhang was not afraid of making Shi Hangyu unhappy. Of course, one would not offend any guest for no reason.

Shi Hangyu had already expected such a situation. He smiled calmly and said, “Manager Zhang, today is my wife’s birthday, and it’s also my 10-year wedding anniversary with my wife. Usually, my wife is quite frugal. Usually, our family’s birthday celebrations are done at home. But this year, I want to give my wife a different birthday and wedding anniversary. That’s why I’m bringing her to your hotel for a meal!”

Manager Zhang was unmoved. He smiled and said, “Mr. Shi, then I wish your wife a happy birthday and a happy wedding day. Since you’re in our hotel, I’ll definitely get someone to entertain you well! However, the kitchen is an important place. It’s really not up to me to decide. Please understand, Mr. Shi!”

This was indeed the truth!

The cafeteria and kitchen belonged to two departments.

It was equivalent to a company’s marketing and technology departments. Between the two departments, no one could give instructions to the other.

However, Manager Zhang was hinting that if he still had to cook in a hotel, they might as well go home.

Shi Hangyu did not know if he understood, but he smiled and said, “Then I’ll ask Manager Zhang for a favor. I really want to give my wife a surprise!”

After saying this, he revealed a shy expression and continued, “Ever since I married my wife, she’s been taking care of this family and children for more than ten years. I’ve never complained. She made breakfast for me and the children early in the morning. After sending the children to school, she had to wash and cook until late at night! Usually, no matter what day it is, she’s the one who cooks. She says that it’s hard for me to work!”

When Manager Zhang heard this, he said, “Mr. Shi, you really married a good wife!”

“That’s right. If it weren’t for my wife taking care of the children and the elderly, I wouldn’t have had any worries. How could I have achieved success in my career?” Shi Hangyu said very sincerely. “It’s usually my wife who cooks at home. Today, I really wanted to cook for my wife personally. No matter if it’s delicious or not, I want to give her a surprise!”

Manager Zhang thought for a moment and said, “Mr. Shi, why don’t we do this? I’ll bring you to the kitchen. Whether you can go into the kitchen to cook for your wife depends on you!”

Shi Hangyu immediately said gratefully, “Thank you, Manager Zhang!”

Manager Zhang smiled and said, “I saw that you had deep feelings for your wife, so I made an exception and brought you to the kitchen.”

Manager Zhang also had a wife who was always considerate of him. However, as his career became more and more successful, he gradually despised his wife for looking drabby.

After listening to Shi Hangyu’s words, he felt emotional.

That’s right. If his wife hadn’t helped him take care of his children and serve the elderly, he wouldn’t have had to worry about anything. His career wouldn’t have been so successful.

How many people were envious of the manager of a five-star hotel cafeteria?

After Manager Zhang brought Shi Hangyu to the kitchen, the head chef had a lot of objections.

The head chef said in dissatisfaction, “Manager Zhang, what do you mean by this? Do you treat my kitchen as a dining hall? Why are you bringing anyone here?!”

Before Manager Zhang could speak, Shi Hangyu immediately apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Head Chef. It’s my fault. I asked Manager Zhang to bring me over. Please don’t blame Manager Zhang!”

When Manager Zhang heard Shi Hangyu’s words, he smiled and said, “Master Li, it’s Mr. Shi’s wife’s birthday today and their tenth anniversary. He said that he wants to personally cook two dishes for his wife. I saw that he was so loyal, so I brought him here.”

However, Master Li was still dissatisfied. “If he wants to cook for his wife, he should go home and cook. Isn’t it unnecessary to run to a five-star hotel to cook for his wife?”

Manager Zhang said in amusement, “Isn’t it for romance? Master Li, just make an exception and let him make two!”

In fact, a five-star hotel like Grand Hyatt would usually prepare two kitchens.

A large kitchen was designated for the chef to cook for the guests.

A small kitchen was specially provided for guests like Shi Hangyu who suddenly had an impulse to cook personally.

This design could satisfy the needs of the guests without delaying the hotel’s service.

Of course, not everyone could cook in the hotel.

Although most of the guests entering and exiting the five-star hotel were either rich or noble, there were also many ordinary people.

If the guests wanted to use the small kitchen, they had to inform them in advance.

People like Shi Hangyu, who suddenly wanted to use the kitchen, were rejected.

At this moment, Shi Hangyu said, “Master Li, 1’11 only make two vegetarian dishes. They’re vegetables that my mother asked someone to send over from our hometown.”

Manager Zhang immediately said, “Master Li, Mr. Shi only wants to make two vegetarian dishes. It should be quick.”

Master Li was a little speechless as he said, “Alright, Manager Zhang, since you’ve already said so, I won’t be too unreasonable. After all, Mr. Shi is cooking for his wife.”

Shi Hangyu immediately said gratefully, “Thank you, Master Li. Thank you, Manager Zhang!”

Then, Shi Hangyu entered the small kitchen.

He took out a cabbage from his bag. After two red cabbages, he took out two eggs from a tightly wrapped box.

He planned to make stir-fried cabbage and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

These three things could not be more ordinary, but when Shi Hangyu took them out, Master Li’s gaze instantly changed..
