Probably because of answering Song Rong's call, Shi Yin was a little distracted for the next whole day.

Even in the afternoon, the front desk passed the menu saying that the VIP room wanted a hibiscus lotus seed soup, but she actually misheard it as hibiscus cake, and almost made a mistake.

Uncle Yuan came halfway, saw that she didn't seem to be in a good state, and thought of yesterday's incident, first comforted her, and then said that Sun Xiaoyun had been fired, so Shi Yin didn't take this matter to heart.

Uncle Yuan is the owner of Xunwei Fang, and he has a very good personal relationship with Shi Jincheng, and in the early years, when Jincheng was still in good health, he has been working in Xunwei Fang, and he is also the head chef.

When Shi Yin first came, Shi Jincheng had not yet retired, and she followed her father for a period of time, and her craftsmanship was soon taken by Uncle Yuan. After Shi Jincheng retired due to health reasons, she directly took over her father's position and became the new head chef.

When Shi Jincheng was alive, he had a good relationship with Uncle Yuan, perhaps because of his father's relationship, Uncle Yuan always regarded Shi Yin as his daughter.

Of course, it's not all about affection.

Shi Jincheng was able to sit in the position of head chef, and it didn't all rely on his old friendship with Uncle Yuan.

When he was a child, Shi Yin learned some special dishes that could not be seen in ordinary recipes under the teaching of his father. Shi Jincheng said that those dishes are secret recipes handed down from her ancestors and cannot be leaked, unless she gets married and has children one day, she can give the recipe to her children. Or one day, she meets enough people to trust him to teach them how to make those dishes.

When I was a child, I didn't understand it, but when I grew up, I realized how profound my father's understanding of the word "inheritance" was.

The ingredients and methods of those dishes are top secret, and laymen can't get a glimpse of one or two of them. The reason why Uncle Yuan let the father and daughter of the Shi family serve as chefs successively is not only because they do have excellent professional standards, but also because of this.

Those exquisite delicacies that cannot be seen in the recipe can only be made by the two of them.

On the menu of Xunweifang, there is a separate page that reads "Shi's Secret Biography", which is full of top-secret dishes handed over to Shi Yin by Shi Jincheng. In the past, only Shi Jincheng and her could do it, but now, she is the only one left.

Shi's secret legend has no recipes, and all the recipes are memorized.

For Shi Yin, who started memorizing recipes at the age of five, it was not a problem to memorize these things.

After busy noon and evening, the rest of the time, the kitchen is still relatively relaxed. Between a group of big men, Shi Yin is the only opposite sex, although many topics can't be talked about together, but the seniors still take good care of this young chef.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Shi Yin, who had just finished cooking a dish, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Qi Jiahe, asking him if he would go home tonight.

After posting it, she felt a little funny, and she really looked like a little woman who was waiting for her husband to come home.

However, she didn't mean anything else by asking this question, in fact, she wanted to tell him with practical actions what is called "the attitude of asking for others".

She doesn't have any skills that she can use, but she can only cook two dishes, so in that case, let's try it for him.

Shiyin is still very confident in his craft. Even if he is still unwilling to lend her money in the end, she can be regarded as having worked hard, and Qi Jiahe will not embarrass her twice in the face of the food.

On the other side, Qi's Group, outside the door of the conference room on the top floor.

Raising his hand to take the mobile phone handed over by Qi Jiahe, Amu lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Qi, Wang Hairen called and said that he wanted to ask you to have a meal and make a special trip to make amends." ”

Amu didn't attend yesterday's dinner, but he could guess what had happened, which led to the collapse of the cooperation project that the two companies had been talking about for months.

The termination of the project has no impact on the Qi family, which has a strong foundation, but it is no less than a bolt from the blue to Haiyi, where Wang Hairen is located.

It is estimated that he was jointly criticized by the board of directors after going back, and when Wang Hairen called today, his tone was trembling, and he was "rude", which made Amu wonder what went wrong at the dinner yesterday.

But Qi Jiahe obviously didn't mean to tell him, only glanced at him lightly, and said, "Don't pay attention." ”

Immediately, he turned and entered the conference room.

Amu shrugged and followed.

Qi Jiahe just sat down on his front feet, and the mobile phone in Amu's hand shook in the next second.

Amu glanced at the phone screen, leaned close to his ear, and reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Qi, text message." ”

He put the phone in front of Qi Jiahe.

The screen showed a message from an unknown number that read, "Are you home tonight?"

Amu stood aside and pretended not to see it, but he didn't know how high the turbulent waves were in his heart, and it felt like he had grabbed the boss's pigtails.

He waited to see Qi Jiahe's performance, but saw that the latter just glanced at the phone screen with an indifferent expression, and then withdrew his gaze calmly.

Amu was stunned for a moment, could it be that the other party made a mistake?

He hesitantly took the phone back, and Qi Jiahe didn't say anything.

Maybe it's really wrong.

Thinking so, he was about to take a few steps forward to turn on the projector and prepare to start the meeting, but he saw Qi Jiahe silently stretching out his right hand to him.

Amu glanced at the mobile phone in his hand, but still hesitantly put it in his palm.

He watched Qi Jiahe re-click on the text message, thinking that Qi Jiahe would reply to the other party, but he didn't want him to click on the number that sent this text message and directly saved it in the mobile phone address book.

Amu watched from the sidelines and found that he had made a note to the number: Shiyin.

After doing all this, Qi Jiahe turned off his mobile phone and handed it to Amu again.

From beginning to end, he didn't reply to messages.

The summary meeting at the end of the quarter is always long and cumbersome, and it was close to twelve o'clock in the evening at the end, Amu drove Qi Jiahe back to Biwanwan, and looked at him several times in the rearview mirror on the way, and what he wanted to say lingered on his lips, but he never dared to say it.

Probably noticing Amu's absent-mindedness, Qi Jiahe lightly raised his eyes and looked in the rearview mirror, and the eyes of the two collided.

Say. ”

He said only one word succinctly.

Amu retracted his gaze and swallowed his saliva before he spoke cautiously: "Miss Shi has been ...... recently Are you alright?"

Qi Jiahe's voice was cold: "You care about her?"

These words fell on the eardrums, and when they landed, Amu's scalp tightened, and he almost subconsciously denied it: "It's not, it's just ...... The last time I saw her, I thought it was not easy for her. ”
