Chapter 219 - It appeared that what they were looking for was, indeed, hidden in that secret room. (1)
Naturally, Tong Xuelu would never let an opportunity like that pass her by.
Truth was, she had been waiting for this opportunity. She had run over to clean herself up as soon as she was done cooking, and when Liu Dongchang showed up in the kitchen, she knew that the mont that she had been waiting for had co.Following Liu Dongchang, the group of n did not react when they saw her. They kept on looking behind her.They waited for a while for the chef to join them before the man, who looked like a secretary, asked again, “Where’s your chef? Why isn’t he out yet?”Liu Dongchang then pointed at Tong Xuelu and said, “This is our chef, but she is only temporary. Our original chef injured his hand, so she is taking over for him for the ti being.”Everyone looked over at Tong Xuelu, and their eyes widened right away.A woman?And a young one at that?Ten out of ten chefs at governnt-operated restaurants were n. Nobody had ever seen a female chef before, let alone soone this young.The group was stunned.Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “Hi everyone. I am the chef of this restaurant, and my na is Tong Xuelu. Xue like ‘snow’, and lu like ‘green’. Tong Xuelu.”When one ets a governnt official, the most important part is to make sure that they make a lasting impression.The bald man looked Tong Xuelu up and down and asked, “Are you really the chef of this restaurant?”Tong Xuelu nodded with a serious face. “Yes. I made the mapo tofu, the house specialty pig feet, and the hot and sour potatoes.”The bald man paused a little and laughed out loud. “Very well. Our president said that won hold up half the sky, and Comrade Tong is the living testimony of that saying!”All the others agreed with him.Tong Xuelu’s smile deepened, while Liu Dongchang looked more unhappy.Nobody noticed Liu Dongchang again even as they were leaving.Liu Dongchang felt that Tong Xuelu was too overly lucky. Chef ng had been working in a governnt-operated restaurant for over 10 years, and yet he still had not been praised by a governnt official before.anwhile, Tong Xuelu, who had just started being a temporary replacent a few days ago, had encountered and had been praised by these people!It had finally occurred to Tan Xiaoyan that sothing big had happened, and she asked, in shock, “Were those all governnt officials?”Nobody paid her any attention. Finally, ng Qingqing felt bad and responded to her. “Yes, I think so.”She hadn’t discovered their identities initially either. Tong Xuelu was the one who clued her in when she went to fetch the dishes.Tan Xiaoyan’s mouth dropped open, and she couldn’t look more regretful. To put it in a modern-day saying, she felt that she had missed out on 10 million yuan.Had she known that they were all governnt officials, she would have never let ng Qingqing go collect the money from them or bring the dishes out. She should have been the one to do all of those!She stared at ng Qingqing. “Why didn’t you say sothing to if you knew all along?”ng Qingqing, “……”Tan Xiaoyan continued, “Did you do that on purpose?”ng Qingqing, “……”ng Qingqing finally realized why her uncle told her to stay away from Tan Xiaoyan. Aggrieved, her face reddened, and she turned and ran inside the kitchen.Tan Xiaoyan felt that she had punched a bag of cotton. She hadn’t even unleashed herself fully yet, and her target had already ran off.She was so mad!As the governnt officials were just there earlier, neither Liu Dongchang nor Tan Xiaoyan dared to leave even after lunch was over.Tong Xuelu didn’t think much of it. It was necessary to get faceti with the leaders, but who knew whether the day would co when she could cash that in?She might never even see them again.Liu Dongchang, however, was very bothered by it. After he noticed that she was studying textbooks from junior high school, he had been looking over at her from ti to ti.Tong Xuelu found his inquisitive gaze very annoying.
