Chapter 15 Abnormal mood swings
The brilliant midday sun hit his body and face wantonly through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the trance halo made Shi Nuannuan dazzled for a while, and he only felt dizzy.
"Are you alright?" Han Munian handed her a glass of cool lemonade and looked at her face.
"It's fine." Shi Nuannuan closed her eyes, and it took several seconds for herself to return to normal.
"If you think you can't accept this, I won't tell you in the future."
Han Munian didn't mean anything else when he said this-if Shi Nuannuan couldn't accept this, he wouldn't force her to listen. After all, it is enough for her to stay by his side with such a simple and cute appearance, even if the contract between the two ends after four years, he will arrange a worry-free life for her for the rest of her life, at least she doesn't have to go out to work and make money by watching other people's faces.
However, Shi Nuannuan obviously didn't think so - after Han Munian and the Dutch chef discussed their lunch, she raised her head seriously after some hard thinking, looked into his eyes and said, "Although I can't understand what you do with my current vision, since I want to be your girlfriend, I will definitely study hard." β
Han Munian watched her say these words seriously, stunned for a moment, and then slowly hooked the corners of his lips, and raised his eyebrows undeniably: "I'm looking forward to your progress...... Girlfriend. β
After meeting their parents, the relationship between the two seems to be closer, at least Shi Nuannuan no longer has that sense of distance from him, and he has a mouthful of "Han Shaolong, Han Shaoshort".
"And what should I call you? You can't call 'hey', can you? Shi Nuannuan bit the after-dinner muffin on the plate, and looked at him with blinking eyes.
She sometimes eats like a child, with muffin crumbs on the corners of her lips.
Han Munian felt that every time she ate these things, it seemed that the corners of her mouth would be stained with food residues, just like eating bread at home before.
Almost without hesitation, Han Munian reached out to wipe them off one by one, and withdrew her hand while she was stunned, as if the action just now was natural to him.
He took a sip from his coffee cup and said, "Just call me by my name." β
Shi Nuannuan stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his lips, where there seemed to be the temperature of his fingers, and his face was slightly red: "Mu Nian? β
Her voice always has the softness of a girl, but it is not as pretentious as those dusty women, who have been called by others for so many years and heard it from her mouth, which seems so different.
Han Munian's eyes moved, and the coffee cup in his hand shook slightly, and the coffee in it made waves, but he quickly stabilized it.
He raised his eyes to look at the little woman opposite, and there was a hazy aura in his eyes, but the feelings that had been precipitated over the years made these breaths fleeting.
Shi Nuannuan seemed to see something different, but she couldn't catch it.
At this time, the general manager of the restaurant trotted over again: "Han Shao, are you still satisfied with today's lunch?" β
He didn't know Shi Nuannuan, and he didn't know what kind of status she had in Han Munian's heart, so he didn't speak easily.
Han Munian picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his lips before putting it aside: "I don't like to eat this raw herring Nuan Nuan, don't the guests have any objections to this dish?" β
When he saw through the secret of hiding the herring under the bread at a glance, Shi Nuannuan immediately blushed and was a little embarrassed - she really doesn't like to eat raw food, but this doesn't mean that the chef doesn't make it delicious. What's more, I wasted food, and I was really embarrassed to say it......
The restaurant's general manager broke into a cold sweat and explained, "Raw herring and onion are a local Dutch delicacy and the Dutch chef's signature dish. The herring is flown in every morning, and the ingredients are absolutely fresh, and some guests even come to taste this dish......"
Han Munian raised his hand to interrupt him: "The taste of the Dutch is not the same as our domestic taste, if you completely copy the foreign one, no one will pay for it at that time, who will bear this responsibility?" Is it you Wang Bin who is responsible? β
Wang Bin, who was named, was sincerely afraid: "No, this is ......"
"What is the cost of fresh air herring every day, and you, as the general manager, don't need me to remind you, right? The more than an hour of eating just now is considered the peak flow of people in this restaurant, how many tables of customers there are, and what is the order rate of this dish, have you calculated? Han Munian's face was cold, and the questions were pressed down one by one, so that Wang Bin couldn't answer a word.
Han Munian adjusted his sitting posture, leaned on the sofa cushion with a straight back, and swept his gaze sharply towards him: "The high-cost chef can't even control this kind of detail, who invited him at that time?" If my Asiana store even needs me to ask this kind of question one by one, it will be a waste of the group's money to raise you managers! I see that each branch needs to send someone down to investigate the quarterly profit report, and there are a lot of cats hidden in it, right?! β
Wang Bin was about to cry when he scolded him, and his whole face wrinkled into a bitter gourd face. He didn't expect that the president would come once, and he would find out so many faults and be named. The business of the restaurant is already uneventful, and he knows that there are many restaurants under Asiana, even if one of them is not very profitable, as long as it does not lose money. But if the situation continues like today, I am afraid that my position as general manager will be lost, and this restaurant will really have to close its doors.
"Have you figured out what to do?" Han Munian didn't give him a chance to breathe, and then asked.
Wang Bin only felt that his two legs kept trembling in his suit pants.
He knew that if he couldn't answer, he would definitely roll up and leave today. But all of a sudden, when he was asked to say the improvement plan, he was already frightened by the president's cold momentum and his mind was blank, where could he still say half a word!
Han Munian's patience has always been bad, his narrow eyes narrowed, revealing a tyrannical aura, and he was about to open his mouth to tell him to get out, Shi Nuannuan, who had been a bystander, said, "Can I make a suggestion?" β
Her soft interjection eased the atmosphere a lot, and Wang Bin was surprised that she dared to interject Han Munian's words, and his uneasy eyes quickly scanned between them a few times.
Han Munian closed his eyes, lowered his eyes and took a sip of coffee, and when he raised his eyes to look at her again, his eyes were clear, and the anger just now seemed to have disappeared, and he raised his eyebrows to signal her to continue.
"Since this dish is a famous local dish in France, there must be a market for its existence. Although some people don't like to eat it, they are willing to spend money to order it just because of its fame. If this restaurant is positioned as exquisite cuisine from various countries, then I think this cost is necessary, but the dishes can be improved, so that customers have room to choose, closer to the hearts of customers, the restaurant earns word of mouth, customers earn money, and both parties do not lose. β
Her words were clear and reasonable.
Wang Bin only felt that his mouth suddenly opened when he heard this, and the eyes that looked at her swept away the previous hesitation, and he felt a little more admiration. Han Munian stared at her and was silent for a long time.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Shi Nuannuan thought that his suggestion was too naΓ―ve, shrugged his shoulders, and was about to ask the president opposite not to take it to heart, but Han Munian took the first step and asked, "According to you, how should the dishes be improved?" β
"Huh?"
Shi Nuannuan looked up at him, only to see that his eyes were staring at her seriously, as if he was really sincere in consulting, if he didn't say one, two, three, it would make her suspicious of being a trickster.
The words were like water spilled out, and Shi Nuannuan fully turned her little head and said, "I think it should be good to be like grilled salmon, and it can be doneness like steak." Of course, when customers order this dish, the first recommendation of the restaurant is still introduced according to the taste of the Dutch, to show the professionalism and rigor of the restaurant. β
After speaking, she looked at Han Munian, waiting for his opinion on her words, but she didn't expect him to turn his head directly to Wang Bin and ask him, "Did you hear clearly?" β
Wang Bin swallowed his saliva and nodded again and again: "I will arrange it immediately and re-improve this dish, please rest assured Han Shao." β
Han Munian would not let him go because of his flattering attitude at this time, and still coldly left a sentence before leaving: "If the profit of this quarter does not meet the requirements, it is correct to take care of it here." β
When the two of them got in the car and left, a man who was working beside Wang Bin dared to come over and asked gossipingly: "Brother Bin, who is that little girl next to Han Shao?" Looking at only eighteen years old, isn't Han Shao not close to women? Do you like this kind of young tooth? β
Wang Bin was thinking about what to do with the restaurant's profits this quarter, and at the moment he was one head or two, seeing that he was not looking long and only cared about finding out if there were these, the anger that was trained just now immediately sent out to him: "You have nothing to do, don't you?" Why don't you go back and keep an eye on me! If we don't increase our profits by 15 percent this quarter, we'll all have to go home and farm! β
After lunch, Han Munian and Shi Nuannuan returned to the cherry blossom garden together.
Because it wasn't a weekend, Han Munian was supposed to go to the group for a meeting in the afternoon, but when he saw Shi Nuannuan enter the room and changed her clothes and came out, remembering that she was going to meet with that senior at night, and suddenly she didn't want to go to the group.
"The skirt just now...... You don't like it? He saw that she was dressed in a plain white T-shirt and light blue rolled-up jeans, which seemed to be a little old, completely different from the ladylike style just now.
Shi Nuannuan touched the clothes on her body: "I was sweating just now, so I took a shower." β
"Don't you have anything else in your closet? Aunt Pei didn't prepare it for you? β
As if someone had exposed his heart, Shi Nuannuan's eyes flickered unnaturally: "Those clothes...... Not for me to wear. β
Hearing this, Han Muqing twisted his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "It's not suitable for you to wear?" Did I buy it for myself to wear? β
"Uh...... That's not what I meant......" Shi Nuan Nuan was anxious.
How did he misinterpret his meaning?
Han Munian seemed unwilling to let go of this topic, and said deliberately: "There is only one woman living here, if you don't wear it, you can take up space, I will ask Aunt Pei and Xi Po to pack it up and throw it away." β
"Hey, don't......" Shi Nuannuan really felt sorry for him wasting money like this.
Han Munian crossed his arms around his chest, stood in front of her and looked at her: "So the clothes in the wardrobe are all bought for you, if you don't wear them, then I will dispose of them myself." β
He commanded condescendingly, and Shi Nuannuan couldn't see that he was troubled at all.
But she thought about it again - her old clothes were indeed like weeds on the side of the road compared to the sky-high luxury prices of his pieces. Since he promised to be his girlfriend for four years, he should be dedicated. No matter what, they will go back to Han's house for dinner every weekend in the future, and if the contrast between the two is too obvious, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Han family.
Thinking of this, Shi Nuannuan nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will try my best to change my image." Also, those clothes you bought me are beautiful, and I love them too. β
Seeing that her adaptability was so strong, Han Munian was very satisfied, this was like the woman he choseβwell, although this woman was a bit young......
"Do you want me to take you to the restaurant later?" He had hardly ever worked as a driver for anyone else, but he was in a very good mood right now, so he set this precedent.
"No, I can take the bus myself." Shi Nuannuan politely rejected him.
Han Munian's mood just got better and became unhappy again: "What, you're afraid that I will disturb your date?" β
"The senior just asked me to discuss the reprint, not a date." Shi Nuannuan explained to him seriously.
Although Han Munian knew that she had no other intentions, but when he thought that she was about to have dinner with another man, and he could only eat at home alone, he just couldn't help the anger in his heart.
"Whatever you want!"
He shook off his sentence stiffly, walked upstairs without looking back, and soon heard the sound of him slamming the door shut.
Aunt Pei, who heard the movement, trotted out of the kitchen, saw that Shi Nuannuan was the only one in the living room, looked upstairs again, and asked, "What's wrong with Han Shao?" β
Shi Nuannuan didn't know why Han Munian suddenly turned her face, she helplessly spread her hand to Aunt Pei: "I don't know either." β
