Chapter 32
The cook, who belonged to the merchant house, received a phone call together in the afternoon of that day.
The call was from Shang Huaiyan.
This young but very capable, living alone in a large villa in Sijiu City, and raising three cooks alone, seemed to be in a hurry to deal with something, and personally hung up the phone to tell them to terminate the work contract, but would compensate them for three months' salary and a letter of recommendation from a big hotel, and said that these would be handed over to them by his assistant, so he hurriedly hung up the phone, and when they hung up the phone, they also heard the sound of cutting vegetables on the other end of the phone, and they didn't know if they heard it wrong.
Several cooks were surprised, but it was also a good opportunity for them to get three months of severance pay and be a chef in a big hotel, so no one was annoyed by the sudden termination of the contract, on the contrary, they were still communicating with their colleagues afterwards, gossiping about why Shang Huaiyan suddenly did this.
"Hey, I haven't heard about the recent situation with the company where Mr. Shang is the CEO, it's still a behemoth."
"I heard from the Filipino maid in the villa that Mr. Shang also hung up the phone to them just now, but not to dismiss them, but to ask them to quickly sort out the room next to the master bedroom."
"The room next door to the master bedroom? The one that is actually the hostess's room, and has an interior that can be directly connected to the master bedroom? β
"That's right, that's it!"
"Is there a hostess who wants to move in?" The cooks wondered, "But if there is a hostess who wants to move in, what kind of chef should be dismissed, shouldn't there be more chefs according to the hostess's taste?" β
"That's right." One of the cooks said, "I think I heard the sound of chopping vegetables when I hung up the phone, if Mr. Shang was on the hostess's side at this timeβ"
Could this hostess be an amazing cult cooker?!
Yi Baitang is certainly not an avid chef.
He's a master chef who defies most of the world's chefs!
Of course, he is also being single-handedly cultivated by himself, and there is more contempt than the "one" who loses.
Now the chef who may be more than 10,000 people, but necessarily under 10,000 people, is directing the moving team in the kitchen to pack their important assets, first of all, leaning on the gas steamer, ice machine, platform refrigerator, large oven, and even the six-burner noodle stove for Western food.
These things are all things that Shang Huaiyan was used to seeing when he came here, and he usually didn't think that when he removed them from the kitchen one by one and moved them to the car, Shang Huaiyan found that the kitchen was much more spacious than he expected.
Then he noticed a little bit of a problem.
Shang Huaiyan: "These are all yours?" β
Yi Baitang: "Hmm. β
Shang Huaiyan looked left and right, and felt that after these things were moved, it seemed that there was not even a sink left for the original landlord.
He was a little suspicious: "That's how she handed it over to you at the beginning?" β
Yi Baitang understated: "No, there are basic kitchen equipment." I felt that the equipment was backward, so I dismantled it all and threw it away. At that time, when I signed the rental contract, I told the other party that I gave some extra money. β
Shang Huaiyan: "......"
But you've only signed a three-month rental agreement with the other party.
Haven't you considered that it is difficult to move so much equipment if you don't renew the lease?
I finally know why the landlord is so confident that you won't move out lightly......
"Alright, there's nothing left, let's go!" Yi Baitang watched the full kitchen become empty, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Shang Huaiyan.
But Shang Huaiyan stood still and did not move. He reminded Yi Baitang: "What about the clothes and furniture in your room?" β
Yi Baitang paused: "Hmm, I forgot." When I came back here, I only took a passbook. β
Shang Huaiyan smiled: "Then you can forget to bring the passbook?" β
Yi Baitang turned around and walked to the room, and said casually: "Isn't the passbook on your side?" β
Shang Huaiyan: "......"
He was stunned at first, then there was a wolf bèi who was seen through, and then he was snickering.
It wasn't until these three feelings passed through his heart like a marquee, that he felt happy like flowers and trees breaking through the ground in the spring breeze, which came from the bottom of his heart, so that his next voice unconsciously carried a hint of flying: "You still think you forgot." β
Yi Baitang had already walked to the small bachelor apartment behind the kitchen. It's only been three months, and his personal belongings are really not much, and there are no very valuable things, so now he randomly pulls out a box from under the bed, opens the wardrobe, and rolls up and stuffs the scattered three or five sets of clothes in it, as well as a few domestic and foreign awards and trophies.
While sorting out his clothes, he glanced at Shang Huaiyan lazily: "I haven't forgotten." β
I just want to see you so happy at this time~
On the night of the move, when Yi Baitang arrived at Shanghuai Yan Villa again, it was already β‘β‘ o'clock in the evening, just like the last time.
The villa that night was the same as the villa last time, and all the staff in the villa were given a holiday as usual, and there were only two people in the huge place, Yi Baitang and Shang Huaiyan.
Shang Huaiyan took Yi Baitang to the room next to his bedroom, in the afternoon in the room, he told the Filipino maid to quickly sort it out, all the furniture in it was wiped well, the carpets and curtains on the floor were replaced with new ones, and the sheets and quilts were of course the kind that had just been sunbathed.
If there is any difference between this and his master bedroom, it is that his master bedroom is the kind of European-style furniture close to the modern style, and here, from the bed to the table and chairs to the wall cabinet, etc., it is all the most classical and authentic European style, especially the four-poster bed with a high mattress, a thick pillow quilt, and a hanging curtain hanging from the top of the bed.
Every time his gaze swept over the big bed, Shang Huaiyan's breath was gently held.
The design of this room was born out of some kind of secret imagination in his mind.
I want to build a castle and lock the beauty in it.
I want to have a big bed and lock the beauty at the head of the bed.
I want to kiss the beauty awake day and night, in the heavy drapery, and then go all the way to the cashmere carpet, comparing the cashmere carpet and the beauty's skin, which is more beautiful.
And then there was none.
Shang Huaiyan didn't think about these things that could make him react. He quickly focused his attention on reality, walked quickly to a desk against the wall, picked up a purple velvet box, opened the box slowly like opening a diamond ring box, and presented the villa key with a ribbon tied inside to Yi Baitang.
He smiled, "The key here." β
You can use it as long as you want~
Yi Baitang didn't take the key immediately.
He looked around the furnishings in the room and didn't say anything, but asked Shang Huaiyan a crucial question: "Is this the hostess's room?" β
Shang Huaiyan was stunned.
Shang Huaiyan was stunned again.
Shang Huaiyan struck again.
Before Shang Huaiyan could think about what reasonable reasons he could find to persuade Yi Baitang that the "hostess's room" was called that, he could actually sleep with any friend he valued, so the other party didn't have to mind staying at all.
Yi Baitang had already spoken: "Haven't the other rooms been tidied up yet?" β
Shang Huaiyan: "Yes! β
Yi Baitang said: "The geographical location here seems to be very superior. β
Shang Huaiyan: "That's right! Sitting north and facing south feng shui is absolutely good! β
Yi Baitang said again: "Anyway, the only room that has been cleaned up is here and your bedroom-"
Shang Huaiyan: "Yes, yes, yes!" β
Yi Baitang didn't know when a little smile appeared on his face, he looked at Shang Huaiyan and added slowly: "So I can sleep in your bedroom, you can sleep here." β
Shang Huaiyan: "......"
Hey......?
Shang Huaiyan, who had been following Yi Baitang's reason, was stunned for a moment, and his heart swelled up in an instant, and he looked at Yi Baitang carefully.
But at this time, the little smile on Yi Baitang's face had disappeared, he picked up the key with the ribbon tied with a bow on it, turned it around in his hand, and said to Shang Huaiyan: "Okay, I'll live in this room, I'll take a shower, and go back to watch the game together." β
Twenty minutes after this sentence was finished, Yi Baitang walked out of the bathroom with a body of water vapor and heat after taking a shower.
At this time, Shang Huaiyan had already changed into pajamas, and was sitting on the sofa in Yi Baitang's room in cotton slippers to deal with a little work problem in the work mailbox.
The blue nightgown was loosely draped over his body, and the man sitting in front of the computer combed his hair back casually twice, and a few strands of forehead hair fell mischievously from the backward strands to the full forehead.
He also has an unusual pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, probably because he doesn't wear them often, so he will use his hand to support his nose clip from time to time.
The headlights in the bedroom are not on.
The blue light reflected from the screen of the notebook hit Shang Huaiyan's side face, and when the smile that had always been hidden at the corner of this person's mouth disappeared, the person sitting there added a bit of abstinence and indifference.
But such abstinence and indifference were dissipated in the next moment.
Shang Huaiyan, who heard the bathroom door open, took off his glasses, turned to look at Yi Baitang, and there was almost undisguised happiness in his eyes: "Finished washing?" β
Yi Baitang: "Hmm. Do you still have a job? β
Shang Huaiyan: "It's nothing, it's almost done." Where are you going to watch the game? β
Yi Baitang didn't answer this sentence, he walked to the table after Shang Huaiyan said "done", easily took Shang Huaiyan to the bed, stuffed it into the cup, and then found the remote control on the table, turned on the wall-mounted TV facing the bed, and then went to bed and slept side by side with Shang Huaiyan.
Hum.
Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.
If you think so, of course I can do the same.
I can sleep in your room.
Swap rooms with you.
and pull you over to sleep with me.
Yi Baitang remained silent, and gave himself a thumbs up in his heart to put it mildly.
Then he patted Shang Huaiyan on the shoulder and said with a calm and satisfied expression: "The TV is in front, let's watch it like this." β
Shang Huaiyan: "......"
He didn't know why, but suddenly he had a strange feeling that things were both strangely developing according to his own ideas and not developing according to his own ideas.
That night, Yi Baitang changed to a new environment, and Shang Huaiyan slept in the same bed with Yi Baitang again.
By the time a cooking competition ended, the program on TV was still playing silently, and Shang Huaiyan, who was lying on the left half of the bed, had already fallen asleep first, his head resting on Yi Baitang's shoulder, breathing like a spider's silk wisps, and there was a magical stickiness that stuck to Yi Baitang's neck.
And it's not just a little sticky, it's also a little itchy.
Yi Baitang thought of this, pulled the quilt on the two of them, and closed his eyes and rested with Shang Huaiyan.
The moment he closed his eyes, he thought to himself that his current state was no different from the past, as if he could make a decision.
The night passed, and the morning light was faint.
When another day came, Shang Huaiyan opened his eyes first.
He slept a little numb, and when his consciousness had not fully recovered, he couldn't help but move his arms, feeling as if something had been pressing on his body.
Then the thing that pressed on him moved as well.
It was the arm of Yi Baitang, who was sleeping next to him.
Yi Baitang hugged Shang Huaiyan as a large life-size doll for a whole night, and it felt quite fitting.
When he opened his eyes again, he glanced at Shang Huaiyan, closed his eyes again, and then kept his eyes closed, raised his head, leaned out, and pasted his face with the other party.
The two of them crossed their necks, and their warm breath was spitting on each other's necks.
Yi Baitang said a foreign language in Shang Huaiyan's ear.
A long voice that seemed to suddenly add sticky honey sounded in the early morning bedroom.
Good morning.
My amazing friend.
