Chapter 25: Leakage
"Are you so scared to hear my voice?" Lin Shuping asked condescendingly, looking at Gong Baorou who was frightened and turned pale. Because of her height, Gong Baorou is nearly a head shorter than Lin Shuping, and her momentum is naturally much weaker.
Gong Baorou smiled awkwardly: "No, I'm just walking around." ”
Lin Shuping looked at Gong Baorou for a moment before he looked away and didn't say anything. It was not a solution for two people to stand stupidly like this, Gong Baorou could only ask, "Why are you here?" ”
"Borrow a book." Lin Shuping raised his hand, and he could see that the two books in his hand had library labels on the spines. Gong Baorou looked around, and sure enough, she walked to the provincial library unconsciously.
"Do you want to go back?" Lin Shuping asked.
"Of course, let's go." Lin Shuping didn't say that it was okay, as soon as he said Gong Baorou, he felt that he wanted to go home, the sun was too big now, and the sun made people blush, "The sun is too big, you have to hurry up." ”
Lin Shuping walked forward silently, and Gong Baorou hurriedly followed. I don't know why, every time I stand with Lin Shuping, I feel a sense of emptiness. Is it because he once failed a relationship? Or is the other party's aura too strong? Gong Baorou knows that she is not a strong person, and sometimes she even retreats, but ...... No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore, as long as I think about Lin Shuping every time, my brain will be in a mess, and all kinds of thoughts are like messy yarn balls.
Gong Baorou shook her head quietly, trying to sober herself up.
After turning several corners, Gong Baorou came back to her senses and found that they had made a detour. This road has to go a few hundred meters more, right? Gong Baorou just wanted to speak, but suddenly blessed her soul. This road is an old alley, there are a lot of trees planted on both sides, and it is not sunny at all when you walk underneath, and no matter how hot the sun is, it can't penetrate the layers of green leaves.
He's really a very attentive person. Gong Baorou scratched her hair a little embarrassed, this action was only after she cut her short hair, because she was not used to it, so she always wanted to pull the ends of her hair.
A cool breeze blows and makes people drowsy. Gong Baorou cheered up, glanced at the book in Lin Shuping's hand, and asked, "You seem to have been reading financial books?" ”
"Well, my father wants me to be in business." Although Lin Zhishen himself is in politics, he does not want his son to be the same as himself.
"Do you like to be in business?" Gong Baorou said without a match.
"It's fine." Anyway, politics and business are not my liking.
Gong Baorou heard a little bit of extraneous meaning and smiled. When she got home and lay on the bed, Gong Baorou only felt that the road she had just walked with Lin Shuping was very long and tiring. She doesn't know how to respond, does she say I don't like you? The other party didn't say it directly and clearly, so saying it would only have a feeling of self-inflicted affection. Moreover, although she said that she didn't like it, she may not understand what she really thought in her heart. It's guilt, it's regret, it's remorse, it's lost and regained, so many complex feelings are blended together and it's no longer a simple matter of liking or disliking that can be clearly explained.
Of course, no matter how entangled you are, the days still pass like this. Gong Baorou sometimes thinks that for a person like Lin Shuping, if he doesn't wait until he becomes an adult, he may not be able to say his mind.
Less than a week before the Haicheng Chef Rookie Competition, a group of dignified people came to the Sichuan restaurant.
"Haicheng Hotel's confidential investigator?" What is it?
"There was a recent leak of a secret recipe in a Sichuan restaurant, and we must investigate and find the person who leaked it." A man with a work permit explained.
"Secret recipe leaked?!" All the chefs were shocked.
"Let's let the head chef elaborate." Retracting his work card, the man stepped aside.
Han Tao's face didn't look very good, and he felt tired: "Sichuan restaurant has recently been developing new dishes, which are ready to be launched on this year's National Day, making it one of the main dishes. The development has come to an end, and we invited some regular customers to try it. Then yesterday a regular customer told us," Han Tao took a deep breath, "He saw this dish at the Nanhu branch of Haicheng Hotel, it was exactly the same, from the taste to the ingredients, it was not bad at all!" ”
The Nanhu branch is not far from here, and the bus is only three stops away.
This is a very strict theft case, involving trade secrets.
"The only thing we can be thankful for is that this dish still has several fatal flaws that we have not overcome, so this dish is a semi-finished product." After Han Tao finished speaking, he sighed.
After Han Tao finished speaking, the leader of the investigators stood up and said, "We will definitely arrest the leaker, but we don't want to involve innocent people, so we hope that anyone who has found clues can tell us about your discovery and help us solve this problem." ”
Gong Baorou's heart jumped, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Wang Mingcheng's body.
She always felt that Wang Mingcheng was very suspicious that day, because the person she couldn't see clearly, his figure was very familiar, and she had definitely seen it somewhere and left an impression. Only, who could that be? It's a pity, if only I could get closer then.
"This is obviously a conspiracy on the part of the Haicheng Hotel, and I hope that the chefs here can unite and find out the thief." After the investigator finished speaking, he nodded to Han Tao and left.
The division of labor in Haicheng Hotel is very clear, although the management will be involved in the process of developing new dishes, but the specific ratio is not clear, only the chefs will know. But the development of new dishes is a very secret thing, and even when the chefs are cooking, they don't know that it is a new dish, and only a few chefs like the head chef will know about it. Of course, the head chef will not divulge the secret recipe, you must know that the secret recipe he handles is not one or two.
There are only nine chefs in the kitchen, and there are seven after getting rid of one head chef, and then Gong Baorou herself. One of these seven people is a thief!
No, no, no, it can't be counted like this, among these seven people, Li Zhanpeng is Sun Fugui's descendant, and he is a personal apprentice, and it is impossible to leak the secret recipe to Haicheng Hotel, so there are still six people left, among these six people, there are only three people who are neither on Zhao Pengcheng's side, nor Sun Fugui's side, Wang Mingcheng is one of them. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, Wang Mingcheng's suspicion is also the biggest!
Gong Baorou, who was constantly thinking in her heart, didn't expect that this fire would burn on her in the end.
