The brilliance of the stars billions of light years away is not as bright as the neon lights so close at hand.
This is the time when most ordinary people get off work, and for some professions, it is a busy time.
As the chef of a high-end Italian restaurant, Xiaoniao Youshihua's job is rarely easy.
It is said that the restaurant owner chose to suspend business specifically to receive an important guest.
It is precisely because today's work is particularly easy that it also gives someone time to harass me.
"Miss Shihua." The man has deep eye sockets, a high bridge of nose, and a thick but well-groomed beard. He is particularly confident in his appearance. "Today is my grandfather's ninetieth birthday. In addition to our family living far away, I, who is in a foreign country, went to celebrate his birthday. On this day worth celebrating, how about we go have a drink after work?"
He has not been in Yingzhou for a long time, but relying on his handsome appearance and status as an Italian, there are almost no girls he can't get.
Unfortunately, this trick was completely useless against the Yingzhou woman in front of him.
What you can't get is always the best.
Sapa gradually became obsessed with this Yingzhou woman with long black satin-like hair and eyes as deep as red wine accumulated over time.
"No time." Xiaoniao You Shihua didn't even look at him and continued to play with the delicate pastries in front of her.
"Oh~ I mean, Miss Shihua, you were actually willing to celebrate with me, but you were delayed due to some special reasons." Sapa said shamelessly: "You might as well tell me your worries. Maybe I can help you solve it.
Even if it can't be solved, saying it can make you feel better, right?"
Shihua straightened up and glanced at Sapa with scarlet eyes. If the other person was not the cousin of the owner of this restaurant, she would definitely hit him on the head with a big spoon.
'Maybe I should really switch to another restaurant.' Shihua thought, and then focused on the dishes that were about to be prepared.
Tatata~
The restaurant manager came to the door of the back kitchen and knocked on the side door, attracting everyone's attention.
The manager's eyes were on Shihua, "Chef Xiaotiao Yu, that customer wants to meet you."
This is a very reasonable request.
Sapa straightened his collar and said with a smile: "Then I will accompany Miss Shihua."
The manager looked helplessly and didn't stop him.
Even though she is a restaurant manager, she is still a member of the labor force, and she must not offend her connections in the restaurant.
Toka simply cleaned up and without saying a word, she followed the manager to her destination. Behind her, Sapa showed a confident smile and followed closely behind Toka.
As far as he knows, today’s distinguished guests in the store are from America. Xiaoniaoyou’s English writing skills are good, but there are still some deviations in oral expression. In order to let the guests have a better experience, he is introducing the origins and stories of the dishes. When the time comes, it is inevitable that he will be needed to appear.
After entering the private room, Shihua looked at the three people at the table calmly.
Sitting at the main seat was a foreigner she had never seen before. On his left and right sides were two restaurant owners, one Italian and one Yingzhou.
Everyone was in suits and leather shoes, and the two bosses nodded slightly to Shihua who had just entered the box as a greeting.
Even though Toka's cooking skills are superb and very talented, in this situation, they still have to act like they belong to the boss.
"Miss Xiaotiaoyu." Unexpectedly, the guest sitting at the main seat stood up directly, with an undisguised enthusiasm on his face, "I have admired you for so long, and I am really embarrassed to meet you in this way.
"
The two owners of the restaurant looked at each other with disbelief on their faces.
What's the situation? Even if Shihua's professionalism is extremely high, there is no need to ask the director of Qiangrui Pharmaceutical Company to stand up and welcome him, right?
And even before they introduced him, the guests already knew the chef’s last name. This is really amazing.
The two bosses didn't even sit still, so they quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Thomas already knew Chef Xiaotiaoyou. It was really beyond our expectation."
"Haha~" Boss Yidaili said: "The unique way of meeting, Mr. Thomas hides it too deeply."
There was a trace of confusion on the faces of Sapa and the manager. What happened?
This was the first time that they saw the chef introducing the dishes and the distinguished guests standing up to welcome them.
Could it be?
Sapa glanced at Shihua, who had a plain face, and then glanced at the smiling distinguished guest, Mr. Thomas, and his mood suddenly worsened.
After briefly introducing the dishes, Thomas asked everyone to leave the box with a few words, leaving only him and Shihua.
"Please take a seat, Ms. Bird Tour." Thomas opened the seat for Shihua.
Shihua didn't show any pretense and sat directly on the chair, her eyes still on Thomas. Once the other party made any wrong move, she believed that she could beat him until he was holding his head and rolling on the floor.
However, Toka guessed that the other party's courtesy was for the princess of another world whom she had never met before, and that she might have a similar purpose to the Ministry of Defense.
"Ms. Bird Tour, this is my business card." Thomas handed it over with both hands.
Shihua glanced over, his scarlet pupils narrowed slightly, Director of Qianghui Pharmaceutical?
Even though she had no experience working in the pharmaceutical industry, Shihua had heard of the name Qianghui Pharmaceutical. Even if the other party was the director of Qianghui Yingzhou, he still had enough energy.
What's more, there is no word 'Qianghui Yingzhou' on his nameplate.
The smile on Thomas' face disappeared. He flew to Yingzhou during the day, and after meeting with Lake, he obtained a considerable amount of top-secret information. When Lake repeatedly assured that the information was true, he immediately came to Shiga Prefecture and Otsu City.
He couldn't find Her Royal Highness, but he could first capture the people around Her Royal Highness.
As long as Toka is dealt with, I believe that this elder sister will naturally do the ideological work of sister Rikka. Once the two sisters are dealt with, isn't it still only one step away from contacting Her Royal Highness?
Things have to be done slowly. The opponent has something precious enough to subvert the Earth's medical system. Whether Qianghui can seize the opportunity in the new era and continue to maintain its monopoly depends on this wave.
Perhaps when the time comes, it is not impossible for him to break away from Qianghui and start a new multinational pharmaceutical giant on his own.
"Ms. Xiaoniaoyou," Thomas said with a smile, "I am here mainly because I want to hire you as our investigation consultant for Qianghui Pharmaceutical Yingzhou."
"I don't have this kind of work experience." Shihua refused directly.
"It doesn't matter," Thomas continued: "This type of work does not require experience. It is mainly to help us research the Yingzhou market. The monthly salary during the internship period is fifty thousand dollars. After three months of becoming a full-timer, a permanent contract can be signed, and you can get an annual salary of one million dollars, and
Stock incentives from the parent company, group dividends, etc.”
"No reward for no work." Toka got up directly. She worked as a chef in a high-end restaurant, and her monthly salary was 500,000 yen. Compared with 50,000 yen, there was a gap of more than ten times. This was only during the internship period.
.
It would be a lie to say that she is not impressed. With this money, she can better improve her family life, but once she accepts this salary, the price she will pay will definitely be something she cannot afford.
"How is that possible?" Thomas stood up and said, "Our company needs talents like Ms. Xiaoniaoyou to help us research the Yingzhou market."
Thomas followed Shihua closely until he left the restaurant, "Ms. Xiaoniaoyou, the door of our Qianghui Pharmaceutical is always open to you. If you need anything, call me anytime."
Shihua's heart sank to the bottom, and even she was like this. It was hard to imagine what kind of storm her sister Rikka, who was staying next to Her Royal Highness, would be in.
