Chapter 248: Variety Show Invitation (8)
Chen Lin stayed at Lou Qingyu's house for the time being.
He lived in the room of the girl's former parents, and the furnishings in it were naturally sealed in the box by the girl, but because of the lack of some furnishings and the fact that no one lived in it for a long time, it seemed a little empty, and Chen Lin didn't mind.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter where to stay, as long as there is a place to make him baking cakes, and there is enough and delicious food for him!
And Chen Lin also volunteered to help in Lou Qingyu's shop, his enthusiasm was very high, and he didn't even need to be paid, what Chen Lin's purpose and intention were, it was already obvious, it was nothing more than falling in love with the third brother hot pot restaurant with his own people at the door of the alley.
When it was close to noon, Chen Lin couldn't wait to take off his baking clothes and hat, and was dragged to the barber shop to repair it yesterday.
Chen Lin's own figure is maintained very well, he is born with a slender figure, a baby face with a smile on his face, his eyes are clear and pure without impurities, he is close to middle age, Chen Lin has no characteristics of a middle-aged person, greasy, fat, bald, sophisticated...
At this moment, because he thought of the food in the hot pot restaurant next door, his grin was as infectious as an innocent boy, and his voice was slightly raised, "Apprentice, I'll go over to find Xiao Shen first, do you want me to pack you lunch?"
"No, Grandma prepared lunch for me this morning, old man, go by yourself. The girl standing behind the cashier raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Lin, with a bit of warning in her eyes, like a mother telling her child, "Remember to give Ziyi the money, don't always give you a free bill, the money I put in your pocket is enough to pay." β
In the past two days, Chen Lin has been going to Shen Ziyi's hot pot restaurant to eat every time, how much money he carries in his arms when he goes, and how much money he carries when he comes back, and sometimes Lou Qingyu can even dig out a few colorful lollipops from his pocket.
Chen Lin frowned, his expression was a little embarrassed, he also wanted to give money, but someone didn't give it!
A pair of brows were twisted into a twisted rope, especially in the face of the disciple's somewhat stern eyes, Chen Lin was a little aggrieved, "I but Xiao Shen doesn't want my money every time, I stuff it into his hand, but I don't know why the money in my pocket came back?"
β... What about Alipay payment?" Lou Qingyu said in a slightly soft tone.
"I tried it last night, but when I went out, I found that the money was returned. β
The girl's dark eyes lowered, she stood in place and muttered for a while, looked at the master who was waiting to eat, and waved her hand, "Okay, I'll solve this matter, old man, you go to eat first." β
"Okay! Thank you, apprentice..."
At the moment when the wooden door was opened, the voice seemed to be contained in the throat by someone, and the black eyes widened the moment they saw the crooked nuts outside the door, and they looked the person in front of them up and down in surprise, and even wanted to step forward to pinch the person's face and touch the temperature, as if they wanted to confirm something.
"Hey, Chen, long time no see!Do you remember me?" Marcus generously responded to Chen Lin's impolite look at him, and even took the initiative to greet him in English, as if he was very happy with this person he hadn't seen for a long time.
On the contrary, Chen Lin's attitude was a little flat, he slowly withdrew his gaze from Marcus, glanced at Pu Yucheng behind Marcus casually, and said in a light tone, "Oh, it's an old horse, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
Facing Chen Lin with such an attitude, Marcus was not angry, but said with a smile on his face, "Chen, I haven't seen you for so long, should we sit down and have a good chat?" looked at the small shop behind Chen Lin curiously.
Chen Lin stepped forward slightly, blocking Marcus's gaze looking inside, "I don't have anything to talk to you about, you can go quickly, don't block me from going to dinner!"
"Really?" Marcus's gaze inadvertently fell on Lou Qingyu in the store, with a hint of deep meaning in the smile on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Chen, don't you remember the agreement we made ten years ago?"
"Promise?" Chen Lin subconsciously glanced at the apprentice, but quickly retracted his gaze, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, "I'm a little old, I don't remember a lot of things, and you've become so old, I almost don't recognize you, how can I remember what I told you ten years ago." β
"Do you want me to ask for the original witness?" Marcus shook his head disapprovingly, "Chen, if this matter is known to people in the baking circle, you will be discredited, and people will only say that Chen Lin is a coward, a loser, and even..."
But before he finished speaking, he was stopped by the girl who came over, "This gentleman, please shut up!"
A pair of beautiful black eyes overflowed with anger, as if they were about to burn on Marcus, although this foreigner was very much like the top master in the baking circle, but what he just said was enough to let her know that the foreigner in front of her was not good.
"It's okay, boy. I don't know when, Chen Lin restrained his usual pure and harmless look, and at this time, facing Marcus, protecting the girl behind him, there was a bit of momentum on his body, "Marcus, whatever you want to do, whatever you want." β
"I'm alone, and I'm never afraid of anything. β
Marcus restrained his smile slightly, glanced at Lou Qingyu, and sighed slightly, "Chen, the agreement ten years ago, in addition to you and me, there are a few other people in the baking circle who also know." β
"If I'm not mistaken, there's a person who has always hated you, and I can do nothing, but can you guarantee that person won't do anything?"
"Aren't you afraid of involving your apprentice?
Chen Lin's expression finally became a little flustered, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Yu, she is not my apprentice, and we have not done a formal apprenticeship ceremony. β
Lou Qingyu and Pu Yucheng, who were standing behind them, were quietly listening to the words between the two, Pu Yucheng had probably understood the situation clearly, in addition to looking at Marcus, his eyes also fell on Lou Qingyu from time to time.
The delicate-looking girl frowned slightly, trying to analyze the relationship between the two of them between words, the purpose of Marcus's visit, and why did Master leave the relationship between the two alone? Is there something that threatens Master, and what is related to Master?
At this time, Marcus once again dropped a paragraph and fell on Chen Lin's ears, like a spring thunder, which made him stunned for a while.
"Chen, you are too naΓ―ve, from the time this girl appeared in public, from the time she successfully passed the three-star baker's examination, those people back then have already recognized her, she is what you taught. β
"Even if you don't have a master-apprentice relationship, her methods and skills are completely inherited from you, and she can't escape this relationship. β
Looking at Chen Lin, who hadn't answered for a long time, Marcus sighed slightly, and said like advice, "Chen, think about it carefully, this matter is not only your business, but also your apprentice's business. β
"If you want to be good, go to room 3801 of the Galaxy Hotel to find me. β
