Chapter 199: Chef and ingredients

In the azure blue swimming pool, a figure slipped silently from the bottom of the water. A few minutes later, a hand was placed on the edge of the pool, a strong arm was slightly harder, and a person jumped up easily from the pool.
The man was wearing only black swimming trunks and stepped barefoot on the light blue tiles by the pool. The water droplets continued to slide down his firm skin, and soon a pool of water formed under his feet.
"Mr. Chen, the time is up, it's time to have dinner." A middle-aged man wearing a white chef's uniform began a dozen meters away.
Chen Dongsheng turned his head, his indifferent gaze swept across the chef's beard, and said coldly: "Your image makes me sick."
The chef was not annoyed, and chuckled, "The image design fee is not included in your commission."
Chen Dongsheng didn't say a word, walked a few steps away, picked up the bathrobe on the recliner, and walked towards the chef while putting it on.
In the restaurant, there was snow white everywhere, and the second color was hardly visible.
Sitting at the table alone, Chen Dongsheng cut a piece of meat graciously and sent the meat into his mouth.
The chef stood behind him, smiling as his employer ate all the food he provided into his stomach.
Before the meal was finished, the ringtone of the mobile phone in the pocket of the bathrobe suddenly pierced the peace. Chen Dongsheng put down his knife and fork with a look of displeasure and picked up the phone.
"Ms. Chen, Miss Lu spread the news about you and Miss Shen on the Internet." The secretary called Chen Dongsheng the first time he received the news.
Don't think the president doesn't seem to care much about Shen Qing, but after all, she is a woman who has been with him for many years.
Although the Lu family seems to have succeeded in getting to the top right now, it is hard to say how long he can hold on. They work as secretaries. It’s not good for them to have eyes and no brains.
The news did not move Chen Dongsheng at all. He said in a calm tone: "Remove the news."
"Yes." When the secretary received the instruction, his expression was horrified, and he dared not delay.
He hung up the phone and put it aside. Seeing half of the steak left on the plate, I lost the interest in continuing to eat.
The chef removed the dinner plate at the right time and replaced it with another black plate that looked like a jelly, and handed over a spoon. "This is a new ingredient that has just been harvested. You can try it. If you think you can, just It can be planted on a large scale."
Chen Dongsheng looked down at the contents on the dinner plate, scooped it up with a spoon, and sent it to his mouth.
"Very pure, not bad."
This evaluation made the chef feel very good, and at the same time he sighed as if thinking of something, "Originally there were better quality, but it was ruined."
Chen Dongsheng was indifferent to this and only gave one sentence, "You are too greedy."
"What you said is too hurtful." The chef looked sad. "I have always pursued equal transactions. I have never taken anything that is not my own."
Chen Dongsheng was noncommittal and continued to eat quietly.
The chef didn't want to just shut up like that, "Your fiancée is a good'soil'. Anyway, she will be useless in a few days. Can you give her to me?"
"As long as you can satisfy me, of course there is no problem." After swallowing the last bite of food, Chen Dongsheng put down the spoon, wiped his mouth gracefully, and replied.
The chef's mouth hidden in his thick beard opened a strange arc, "You can rest assured, as long as the ingredients are sufficient, I promise you will soon be able to get rid of the small troubles for years."
After dinner, Chen Dongsheng got up and left the restaurant. The chef hummed a song happily, while using a white rag to wipe the cabinets and shiny kitchen utensils inch by inch.
In the corner of the kitchen, in the transparent fresh-keeping refrigerator, there are neatly placed piles of strange ingredients. After cleaning, the chef lay down in front of the refrigerator, staring obsessively at the things inside, as if it had become a statue, motionless.
After leaving the restaurant, the butler waiting outside respectfully greeted him, "Patriarch, the Lu family came to visit and are waiting for you in the front hall."
Chen Dongsheng gave a hum, and walked towards the front hall with the housekeeper.
It was Lu Tingjun who came to visit on behalf of the Lu family. He saw Chen Dongsheng appear and immediately got up with a smile.
After the two exchanged greetings with each other, he said jokingly: "Isn't the little girl causing you trouble for the past half a month?"
Although it was only an engagement, Chen Dongsheng took his fiancée to travel abroad for more than half a month, and the Lu family was still very satisfied with this.
Chen Dongsheng was able to take time out of his busy schedule, just to please his fiancée. This alone made them feel very face and at the same time had more confidence in the cooperation between the two.
"Xiao Chan is very good." Chen Dongsheng replied with a smile.
Lu Tingjun smiled and said nothing. He still didn't know what virtue his half-sister was. It has only been a few days since I came back, and I started to restless again.
However, she is quite reasonable. Although the person who is dealing with is also Chen Dongsheng's woman, as long as she is not excessive, the other party will probably not care too much.
I was afraid that she would be so stupid that she would provoke Shi Chengxuan again.
Thinking of the warning given by Shi Chengxuan the last time, only a slight move caused the Lu family to suffer considerable losses. This made him more anxious, and the cooperation with the Chen family should start as soon as possible. The Lu family alone is still too weak.
Lu Tingjun stayed in Chen's house for more than two hours, smiled on his face when he left, and apparently got what he wanted.
After he left, the butler walked in with a new tea set, took the untouched tea in front of Chen Dongsheng, and replaced him with a new cup of tea.
"Shen Qing didn't call?" Chen Dongsheng asked suddenly, taking a sip of the light red tea.
"Ms. Shen was intercepted by Miss Lu when she contacted you last time, and she has never tried to make a phone call since." The butler said slowly.
Seeing that he was silent, the housekeeper couldn't help asking, "Do you need to limit Miss Lu's behavior?"
As the housekeeper of the Chen family, he does not have the respect he should have for the fiancee selected by the head of the family. You can tell from the name alone.
"Being not."
The housekeeper frowned, "But her behavior has caused you reputational troubles, and Miss Shen..."
He didn't pay attention to the battle between the two women, but it was over because of the reputation of the owner. Lu Qingchan is too frivolous, and just an illegitimate daughter. Although the Lu family repeatedly raised her identity, she still did not deserve to be the head of the Chen family.
As for Shen Qing, the housekeeper didn't comment on her at all, but it was a pet raised by the owner. Even if she was raised a little longer, she would never be able to change her identity.
Chen Dongsheng squinted his eyes, "It's just a boring farce, it won't be long."
Although the housekeeper wanted to say something, but seeing the attitude of the Patriarch, he immediately closed his mouth and fell silent.
