Turning around, their eyes met. Gu Shengnan wore a mask, half-covering her face. Lu Jin held the headscarf in his hand, comparing the half-face in front of him with the girl who brought bad luck. Their eyebrows and eyes were similar. It wouldn't be appropriate to directly pull off her mask; that would be too rude.
He said sorry, admitting his mistake, and made a move to leave, but then, catching her off guard, he casually asked about the headscarf, if it belonged to Gu Shengnan. Blame it on his overly casual tone which made people lower their guard. Without thinking, Gu Shengnan automatically completed the lost and found process.
Lu Jin was now 100% certain: the mysterious female chef was the same person who needed to pay for the car two days ago, and also the Gu Shengnan standing in front of him now. In the hotel's back kitchen, Gu Shengnan muttered to herself gloomily, wondering if he had recognized her or not. It seemed he had, so why didn't he say anything or lose his temper?
Before she could figure out the answer, orders kept printing nonstop from the menu machine in the back kitchen, one after another, so many they could bury someone. And they specifically requested that only she make them; no one else could interfere, not even to help. It seemed that sometimes exclusive favor wasn't necessarily a good thing. Gu Shengnan mustered her spirit, ready to meet whatever came her way. The barefoot aren't afraid of the shoed. She decided to fight!
In the entire back kitchen, other chefs were busy, and she was busy too. When the other chefs became free, she was still busy making desserts. Meanwhile, President Lu Jin and his assistant Meng Xinjie were in room 1123, savoring the flavors around the long table filled with exquisite delicacies. Gu Shengnan was still battling away in the back kitchen, surrounded by pots and pans.
After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Jin met with the hotel owner, evaluated a list, and drove the price down very low. He walked out for a stroll by the pool, talking on the phone with Li Man abroad about the acquisition, and was in a good mood. Tired after a day's work, Gu Shengnan curled up on a chair in the back kitchen and fell asleep again.
The manager, annoyed by her slacking off, sent her out to get some fresh air to wake up. Lu Jin was standing by the pool, but in Gu Shengnan's eyes, there was only the giant inflatable Fortune God doll next to her. Beside it was another deflated one lying flat on the ground. She pressed the inflation switch, and air instantly filled the balloon doll, also knocking over Lu Jin, who was standing by the water. Another tragedy unfolded.
Apologizing, and still having to apologize after apologizing, endless 'I'm sorry's. Gu Shengnan stood before the door of 1123, bowing to assistant Meng Xinjie. Meng Xinjie urged her to quickly pay back the car money, because there really wasn't any other convincing apology besides that. After scolding Gu Shengnan and turning back, Meng Xinjie reminded his boss that Gu Shengnan must have an ulterior motive, and every time he met her, something bad happened.
Lu Jin, on the other hand, thought it was a different kind of ulterior motive, for example, having ulterior motives towards him as a person. So, he picked up the phone and ordered another dish. As evening approached, the other chefs got off work. Just as Gu Shengnan was about to leave, an order clanked and rattled out of the machine.
In an instant, Gu Shengnan felt like a deflated ball, unable to bounce to a greater height no matter how hard she tried. President Lu Jin from 1123 ordered a Witch's Brew. This dish had no requirements yet also had requirements: choose any ingredients, and the taste must contain love to be considered successful. Such a soup with significant meaning, Lu Jin wanted her to make it?
While mumbling, Gu Shengnan still carefully decided to make a bowl of mushroom soup. Knives and cutting boards on the counter tapped rhythmically. Onion and mushrooms, diced and minced, were added to the pot one after another. The milky white soup gave off a fragrance that slowly drifted. After setting the timer, Gu Shengnan didn't know where she had curled up to sleep again.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jin's craving and anticipation for delicious food had reached the point where he couldn't sit still. After waiting for a long time and the food didn't arrive, he reappeared in the back kitchen. The mushroom soup on the stove was still simmering. He casually scooped a spoonful and felt it tasted good. Then, his limbs became numb and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
The sound of him falling startled Gu Shengnan, who crawled out to check. Lu Jin had drunk raw poisonous mushrooms. It was best to throw it up quickly. Saving a life was urgent. Gu Shengnan immediately mixed detergent with water and poured it down his throat, patting him to induce vomiting. Lu Jin rolled over and threw up the mushroom soup, and then started hiccuping and blowing bubbles. For a moment, many colorful bubbles floated in the air.
It was hard to tell whether to find it dreamy and romantic or be relieved that Lu Jin had escaped danger after being poisoned. The back kitchen surveillance video of this incident was spread everywhere the next day. The moment Lu Jin opened the door, he was greeted by more 'I'm sorry's. A group of people collectively apologized to him. Finally, Gu Shengnan hurried over, skillfully bowing and shouting 'I'm sorry' as if it were routine.
The scene was inexplicably familiar, so familiar that Lu Jin felt sorry for himself. This was simply the most unlucky day of his life. Afterwards, in the hotel hallway stood Gu Shengnan and the hotel manager. The scene was slightly different from the confrontation a few days ago. This time, Gu Shengnan was about to be fired again because Lu Jin said he would never eat her food again. Of course, a manager wouldn't cherish a mere kitchen helper.
Chef Gu was about to be unemployed again. In the vast city, traffic flowed like water and people came and went, brushing past each other fleetingly. No one would worry whether Gu Shengnan would lose her job, after all, it was none of their business.
