> Dating in the Kitchen Recap
Gu Shengnan went to other tables to toast and didn't return, she was having a great time with her little friends like Lao Liu and Mili, even boring drinking games seemed interesting in this food stall, Lu Jin was left alone on the side, next to him was either her grandfather, her great-aunt, or another relative who sold chicken feet, it was truly miserable no matter what.
Lu Jin stared at the happy Meng Xinjie for a long time, his gaze could almost make sparks fly off his clothes. Xu Zhaodi kindly reminded him to quickly look at his boss, only then did Meng Xinjie stop smiling from ear to ear and ask his boss what he needed. Lu Jin leaned close to his ear, almost speaking telepathically, asking Meng Xinjie to investigate Lao Liu and Mili who were with Gu Shengnan.
He didn't know when it started, but whenever someone got too close to Gu Shengnan, he would get agitated with jealousy, letting no bit of it go. Her maternal uncle Gao Quanan handed him a tissue and started talking to Lu Jin about Gu Shengnan.
He said that she grew up eating from many households, never had her parents' love since she was young, and lived with her grandfather and the neighbors around the food stall, everyone was not related by blood but were closer than relatives, everything here cared for her. Finally, he told Lu Jin not to bully Gu Shengnan, if he felt it wouldn't work out, then end it, don't drag her along.
At this moment, everyone was in a frenzy, singing children's songs and swaying freely, seemingly like a chaotic dance of demons, but also very warm, especially Gu Shengnan, whose happiness was undeniable, she casually swayed her head and arms, yet she shone brightly in Lu Jin's eyes. After giving instructions to Lu Jin, her maternal uncle met Meng Xinjie, who cunningly negotiated a price with him, and finally a mysterious deal was struck.
Before taking Xu Zhaodi back, her maternal uncle kept Xu Zhaodi for another drink, and the phone in his pocket was connected to Meng Xinjie on the other side. Drunk words are true words, Meng Xinjie listened as Xu Zhaodi said that she thought Meng Xinjie was the most special, he covered his mouth happily, but the next second he heard Xu Zhaodi saying goodbye to him, his face instantly became flatter than anyone else's.
There was a frenzy that night, and Xu Zhaodi wasn't the only one who was drunk, Gu Shengnan was also drunk, both drunk and hungry, when Lu Jin held her, what he heard was not sweet talk, but a very honest "I'm hungry".
He rushed into the kitchen and carefully selected ingredients, then brought out a pot of drained instant noodles, Gu Shengnan waited with a weary expression, but Lu Jin was still timing and counting down three minutes, Gu Shengnan really couldn't stand it anymore, she crushed a packet of noodles and ate them dry with sauce. Lu Jin was shocked, he broke off a piece incredulously and cautiously to try, and the result was truly unexpected.
President Lu, who had seen and eaten everything, was once again defeated by the little things in life. He felt very good, very fortunate, that he didn't leave then, and chose to stay by Gu Shengnan's side, allowing himself to have so many relatives too.
Early in the morning, Gu Shengnan went downstairs to go to work and ran into Cheng Ziqian, Cheng Ziqian drove her there, and while chatting he mentioned that Li Man also greatly admired her during the head chef selection, and talked about how much of a goddess Li Man was when she was his classmate, popular among the senior and junior students. Gu Shengnan was angry listening to this, compared to herself, Li Man was truly too outstanding.
Unable to contain her anger, she directly asked Cheng Ziqian to pull over, scanned a shared bike, and rode it to work. The back kitchen exploded with gossip again, it turned out Gu Shengnan's backer wasn't 1123's Lu Jin, but the new General Manager Cheng Ziqian. Chairwoman Zheng's lunch for tomorrow was finalized to be arranged by Gu Shengnan, the veteran chefs in the back kitchen complained even more upon hearing this news.
Whoever Gu Shengnan assigned tasks to would refuse to do them, each one either claimed they couldn't learn or had forgotten how to do it, fooling Gu Shengnan as if she were a fool. Gu Shengnan was so angry she slapped the table and shouted, and Master Yu, who had always disliked Gu Shengnan, was even angrier than her, he threw down his apron and stared at a box of ingredients in the back kitchen for a long time.
Xu Zhaodi's client this time was a German, she quickly learned and used two German phrases on the spot, luckily the other party gentlemanly said they could speak Chinese, and she felt relieved. The usually idle Meng Xinjie didn't play on his phone, didn't zone out, and even took small notes during this company meeting, it was completely unlike himself, as if possessed by the spirit of diligent study.
Lu Jin looked at him strangely, ended the meeting early and questioned him, what kind of big change could make Meng Xinjie turn over a new leaf and become a new person? Of course, it was because of Xu Zhaodi's drunk words about using that drink to say goodbye to him, those few heart-piercing phrases completely motivated him to buck up.
So, the little assistant who usually followed his boss around all day today hurriedly took leave to learn Indonesian, probably because Xu Zhaodi might need him as a translator someday, having an extra language would give Xu Zhaodi one more option to choose from. Because of this, he didn't even answer his boss's call during class, his boss was also asking him about love. But his own efforts hadn't worked out yet, so how could he manage Lu Jin?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the small classroom, he saw Xu Zhaodi chatting animatedly with someone, and they even left the mall together, Meng Xinjie watched, his teeth itching with frustration.
The chefs in the back kitchen were uncooperative, Gu Shengnan was in a bad mood today, and she wasn't very interested when Lu Jin came to see her, Meng Xinjie, this temporary love guru, couldn't be relied on, so Lu Jin patiently asked Gu Shengnan what he could do to make her happy. So Gu Shengnan and Lu Jin both arrived at the wet market, Lu Jin, in a display of extravagance, directly asked for all the most expensive items.
