Chapter 140 Suppliers’ Mistake

In the middle of the night, the light from the lamp shone on the table. The door was pushed open slightly. Xu Le heard the sound and turned around.

“You’re not asleep yet? I heated some milk. Do you want it?”

Lu Yuxi walked in softly. The two of them glanced at Xu Tian who was sound asleep at the same time. After ensuring that she was not disturbed, they continued their discussion.

“I’ve listed out all the dishes for tomorrow. Let the supplier distribute the ingredients based on the standard of the first store. Remember, they must be fresh and top-notch. Don’t worry about the price fluctuations.”

“Okay.”

Lu Yuxi took the menu and asked with raised eyebrows. “With me around, you can rest assured… However…”

“Just say it.”

Xu Le thought that she was going to ask for a pay raise again. Just as he was about to agree, Lu Yuxi lowered her head and said gloomily, “I’m not sure how much longer I can work here. Perhaps, I’ll have to move to another city.”

“You’re leaving?”

Xu Le frowned. An unknown sense of anxiety surged in his heart.

“Mmm.”

Lu Yuxi grinned and said with a smile, “Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. I’ll leave next month at the latest, but I will still do my best to help you.”

Xu Le’s temples were throbbing. He raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows. “You raised this up so suddenly…”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely wait for you to settle everything before leaving.”

Xu Le’s response was stuck in his throat, and after a long while, he made an indistinct sound. The upper half of his face was covered in the darkness, and it was impossible to tell what expression he had.

“I’ll definitely come back in the future and visit Tiantian. It’s not like we won’t see each other ever again. Why are you so sad?”

Xu Le said stubbornly, “Who says I am?”

The two of them discussed about the new shop in a low voice and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

However, Xu Le, who was lying on the bed, was tossing and turning. He did not feel sleepy at all. He entered the system again and practised all the dishes on the menu to ensure that the texture would not be wrong.

When he tasted the Longjing shrimp, it tasted bitter on the tip of his tongue. This dish always had the fragrance of tea. This was the first time he tasted something different. Fortunately, his long time of practice in the system had greatly strengthened his body. His eight-year-old body had become similar to that of a strong young man. Otherwise, with only three hours of sleep, he would not be able to appear full of energy in front of everyone the next day.

“Goodness gracious…”

When Li Qing drove him over, he saw the long queue at the entrance and sighed. “You’re really popular. You didn’t even pay for advertisement, yet so many people had come at once. Tsk tsk.”

His sympathy was mixed with envy as he looked at Xu Le. His gaze seemed to say: You will be busy today.

“I’ll go to the first branch first. There’s only Auntie Liu and me today. Boss, hurry up and hire more people.”

“Alright, take care.”

Xu Le pushed through the crowd and finally opened the door. A group of people rushed in. Other than those who were holding their phones, some of them even carried cameras and pointed the cameras at him.

“Master Chef, who funded your opening of the restaurant? Who’s the investor?”

“Are there any new dishes today?”

“Get out of the way! I want to take a picture with the little Master Chef!”

“Who is this kid? Is he the celebrity Xu Le?”

Passersby squeezed in to join in the fun and looked at Xu Le’s handsome features. He was so young, but there was a hint of elegance in his eyes.
