The voice on the receiver was very polite.

"That's it, Miss. Your brother, Mr. Jiang, came over earlier."

Jiang Lai said: "He is not my brother, and he is not Mr. Jiang anymore."

"Well, yes, that's what it says, but those of us who are employees..."

"Speak directly if you have something to say. Don't beat around the bush with me. I'm in a hurry."

"Hey, okay, here's the thing. Mr. Jiang brought someone with him today and arranged for him to work in the back kitchen."

"What? He arranged for someone to be in the back kitchen?"

"Yes, I am a chef in the kitchen."

Jiang Lai pulled over the car, frowned and said, "Are you the restaurant manager or is he the restaurant manager? Why do you listen to him for such a big thing as arranging the chef?"

Originally, the affairs of the Gray Whale Restaurant were out of her hands, and Miss Jiang was not in the mood to deal with such messy matters. Her world was to spend a lot of money and have fun everywhere, but now that Jiang Haokun was involved, the nature was different.

"He said that if I didn't do what he said, he would say bad things about me in front of the chairman's wife. What can I do? I can only compromise."

"This Jiang Haokun, he said it absolutely when he broke off the relationship, but then he turned around and deceived me under the guise of being a mother." Jiang Lai sneered repeatedly: "Manager Feng, fire me right away."

"Miss, it's... not good to do this."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Just say that I asked you to do this. I'll see if he has the nerve to come to me."

"Miss, please don't embarrass me, okay? If I do this, if you reconcile in the future, Mr. Jiang will definitely put your foot down." Feng Yufang said: "Tomorrow, that person will come to the restaurant to work. If you

If you really don't want to see him, you can come over and resign him in person, so that I don't have to take responsibility."

"Coward."

"Miss, please understand my difficulties."

"Then it's so difficult for you to do it because you're stuck in the middle. Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Miss, think about it, in order to hire this person, I have to fire the current chef and pay him liquidated damages. If this matter gets to the ears of the chairman, I'm afraid... Anyway, I'm really... ugh

, he is not a human being inside or outside.”

Jiang Lai patted the steering wheel and looked a little helpless: "Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Just call me when that person comes tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, miss. You are really my big savior."

Jiang Lai ignored him, hung up the phone, shook his long hair, and drove the Ford Mustang toward the Bund.

…

The next morning, Gray Whale Restaurant.

The waiters were busy at the front desk and in the dining hall, mopping the floor clean, and the decorative crafts and ornaments were also cleaned spotlessly. The sunlight falling under the antique corridor eaves made it look very stylish.

Lu Yuan was wearing a jacket and sitting at the dining table on the balcony on the second floor. He put his sunglasses on the left and a note in the middle. He was writing there with a ballpoint pen in his hand.

Feng Yufang took a closer look and said, "Oh, I can only say that the words are just like the person speaking."

"Chef Lu, we have finished cleaning up front, and the kitchen is almost busy. If there is no problem, come with me to meet everyone and introduce yourself. We will be colleagues from now on. We should help each other and take care of each other.

.”

"Oh, no need to introduce." Lu Yuan replied without raising his head until he finished writing the last name, pulled up the note and handed it to the restaurant manager standing opposite.

"Here's a list."

Feng Yufang took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Lu Yuan then said: "Everyone on this list should be opened by me."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yufang was annoyed: "The people here are all old chefs, the backbone of the restaurant. If you ask me to open them all, will I still be able to work in this restaurant?"

He scolded Jiang Haokun in his heart. What the hell did he put in this thing? He did it on his first day as a chef. It made him, a restaurant manager, look like a wage earner standing in front of a man named Lu.

.

Also, this is a group of people, so you can't compensate others? He's a new official here, and he's talking about it. Have you ever thought about the restaurant?

Lu Yuan said: "Who has the final say about the kitchen?"

Feng Yufang said: "You."

"Isn't that the end?"

"There has to be a reason, right? I can't just shoot people."

Lu Yuan acted like I am condescending when I come to your place.

"First, I went to your back kitchen before. Look at those people. They all look like they have never seen the world. What I want is a chef, not an apprentice. Second, how do you manage your second chef? The entire back kitchen

The kitchen is a mess, it’s so unsightly. Third, I’m a new official, so I have to burn some fire and establish my authority. If I don’t do this, who will listen to me? What do you think? Manager Feng?”

Manager Feng was filled with hatred. Is this inviting a chef? Is this inviting an ancestor?

He didn't know that this view coincided with Lin Yue's thoughts when watching the film.

Da da da~

At this moment, with the sound of footsteps, a woman walked out of the stairs, wearing a trademark red skirt, a pair of sunglasses on her face, and carrying a Chanel handbag.

"Lu Yuan? Why are you here?"

"Eh? Jiang Lai?"

Lu Yuan was stunned: "I still want to ask you, why are you here?"

Seeing the scene in front of her, Jiang Lai didn't understand why. It turned out that the new chef Feng Yufang mentioned on the phone last night was Lu Yuan. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he was Jiang Haokun's friend. The key was that she couldn't figure it out.

, why did Jiang Haokun bring Lu Yuan to Gray Whale Restaurant?

To be cautious, she did not state her purpose of coming here.

"Oh, I...hehe, I'm here to wait for someone."

"Waiting for someone?"

"That's right, isn't there a beauty parlor over the road? There's a person in there that I really hate, so I wanted to come over and have a cup of coffee and wait for my friends to come over."

"oh."

Jiang Lai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no suspicion. In order to further conceal the relationship between the Western restaurant and himself, he asked, "You haven't said why you are here yet."

"Oh, I'm here to be the chef."

"Really? I didn't expect you to be a chef. Congratulations. It seems that I will have to visit you often in the future to take care of your business."

"No problem, Manager Feng, don't give her any discounts in the future. Miss Jiang is rich." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he looked at his watch: "No, I have to leave. Remember to drive the person away."

After reminding him, he picked up his sunglasses, put them on his face, and left.

Feng Yufang watched Lu Yuan leave the restaurant, walked up to Jiang Lai and pointed in the direction of the road and said, "Miss, look, what the hell is this? On the first day I came to work, I was asked to fire up those old people in the kitchen."

Jiang Lai said: "Then just shoot him."

Feng Yufang's expression changed: "Miss, that's not what we said last night. Didn't you... didn't you say you were going to come over and fire him?"

Jiang Lai said: "Can't I change my mind?"

Well……

Manager Feng was stunned by her and didn't understand why the young lady was so angry.

"Tell me what happened yesterday?" Jiang Lai was naturally very interested in Lu Yuan and was very curious about what happened between him and Jiang Haokun, but she couldn't take the initiative to ask him because she had a very strong intuition.

Lu Yuan has been avoiding him. If her relationship with Gray Whale Restaurant is revealed, God knows whether he will be frightened and resign.

"Oh, that's it..."

From Jiang Lai's failure to disclose his identity as the boss to the current maintenance, as a restaurant manager, Feng Yufang could certainly see that the eldest lady had an unusual relationship with that Lu Yuan, so he did not hide it and informed Jiang Haokun of his hiring of Lu Yuan in advance.

The matter was told once.

Jiang Lai couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. Why would Jiang Haokun be so kind as to help him arrange work when he and Lu Yuan were having such a bad fight?

But what is certain is that there must be something fishy about it.

"Remember, don't tell Lu Yuan about the relationship between this store and me, and pay more attention to him."

"I understand, I understand." Manager Feng nodded and bowed.

…

Jiang Lai didn't leave and kept waiting in the restaurant because she was curious about what Lu Yuan wanted to do.

If you fire all the old people in the kitchen, how can you still entertain guests at noon?

She waited for a long time, but Lu Yuan hadn't come back yet, so Jiang Haokun came.

"What are you doing here?"

"This is a restaurant, what do you want me to do here?"

"You are not welcome in my store."

Lin Yue was not annoyed. He glanced at Feng Yufang, who was eavesdropping on the handrail of the stairs, and sat down on the sofa next to the front desk: "Jiang Lai, are you curious about why I help Lu Yuan arrange work?"

This time Jiang Lai didn't chase him away, but asked very politely: "Why?"

Lin Yue said: "If you want to know, if you want to know it's simple, if you want to know, just wait for me."

Jiang Lai's expression froze.
