Chapter 145 - Chen Xians Visit (1/2)

Lu Yuxi gulped down the last mouthful of chicken soup and almost spat it out. She choked and coughed several times.

Wasn’t Xu Le’s offer a little too generous? Zhang Tong was the head chef of the Heavenly Restaurant. His annual salary was already high, not to mention double of that…

Although she was not the one paying for it, Lu Yuxi still felt the pinch.

Zhang Tong was speechless. His eyes were filled with emotions. He said in a trembling voice, “Sure, I’m looking for a job. I hope we can… have a pleasant cooperation.”

The two of them shook hands and Xu Le’s expression was especially sincere. After confirming that Zhang Tong could come to work the next day, he turned around and waved at Lu Yuxi. “It’s time to get off work. Let’s go. What are you waiting for?”

“Me, me, me, you, you.” Lu Yuxi was agitated for a long time. In the end, she stared at Xu Le quietly and said, “Give me a raise!”

On the way back, the two of them stood by the road and waited for the cab.

Lu Yuxi stepped on the edge of the pavement in boredom. The night wind blew and her hair was messed up. She raised her hand and said, “Do you still want to work with the supplier tomorrow?”

Lu Yuxi knew that she had to compromise before finding a suitable supplier.

“Turn them down. Don’t ever work with them again.”

“Don’t say things on impulse. Think about the consequences carefully.”

“I brought so many dishes today. Of course, I only said that after considering it.”

“Hmm?”

Lu Yuxi walked in a straight line and stretched her arms to maintain her balance. She said shakily, “That’s good. Is it the same for the first shop?”

“Mmm.”

“I’ll go talk to them tonight!” She said angrily, “The supplier over there took advantage of the situation and dropped the ball at the critical moment. It’s definitely not trustworthy.”

“I suspect it has something to do with the producers of the Master Chef program team.”

“Who is it?”

Lu Yuxi turned around curiously and was about to jump down from the curb when she accidentally stepped on her loose shoelace. She tripped and fell straight to the ground.

“Hey!”

Xu Le reached out to support her. Even though he was strong, he could not bear the weight of an adult. There was a thud.

Lu Yuxi still laid on the ground while he became a human cushion.

“Hahahaha…”

Lu Yuxi laughed out loud. As she helped him up, she laughed until she could not straighten her back. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t crush you, right? Hahahaha…”

Xu Le couldn’t help but complain, “You don’t look apologetic.”

“Beep-beep-beep.”

The driver waved his hand and said, “Little girl, what are you doing? Bring your brother here!”

“He mistook you for my brother.” Lu Yuxi chuckled, feeling like she had taken advantage of him.

However, she did not notice that the smile on Xu Le’s face had fallen. He got into the car without saying a word.

When he reached home, Xu Le received a message from Li Qing about the revenue from that day’s business. He also explained that he would end the cooperation with the supplier the next day.

“What? On the first day of opening, they just stopped delivering the ingredients on a whim? Don’t they have any sense of responsibility?! To think you have a good temper. If it were me, I would scold him until…”

Li Qing had a bad temper, so he criticized the supplier over the phone. In the end, he even promised, “Don’t worry, I won’t take their ingredients tomorrow. I’ll chase them out and vent anger on your behalf.”
