Chapter 156: Unspoken Rules
Dai Yi looked at Xiao Gu Yi and muttered in a low voice: "He looks at us again......"
"Hmmm......"
"What the hell is he thinking......"
Gu Zhen held Dai Zhi's hand tightly in his palm, his brows furrowed slightly, and his expression was calm.

The next morning. Back at Caprice, there is an illusion of a world away.
Dai Zhi seems to have become a dispensable existence in the restaurant, not to mention that the manager does not ask her about the reason for her unexcused absenteeism, that is, Slender and Jeff and others do not care about her wayward attendance at all, so that Dai Zhi can't help but wonder if they don't know that she didn't come to work two days ago.
In the back kitchen. Jeff didn't know what he was messing with, so Slender hurriedly gave him a hand, and the whole picture looked very harmonious. Dai stood aside and watched for a while, and finally couldn't stand the two of them ignoring her, and teased Jeff: "So now is Slender my assistant or your assistant?" ”
Jeff didn't say anything yet, and Slender immediately opened his mouth and smiled at Dai Bei: "Sister Wait, you are often not in the restaurant, and my assistant can't stop working just because you are not there, after all, the boss is not asking me to eat idle meals when he takes a salary." ”
She added an accent to the word "boss", apparently on purpose. Dai Bei covered her slender face with a slap and pushed her head away, "Busy with you!" ”
Slim hey hey twice, flashed to the side.
Dai was waiting to wash her hands, thinking about what she was going to cook on the day of the recording of the show, when she heard Jeff ask her, "Do you want to prepare for the 'visual kitchen'?" ”
"Huh? Well. Oh, yes. Gu Zhen just told her about this decision last night, but she didn't expect to notify Jeff in such a timely manner, and Dai Zhi couldn't help but feel embarrassed by surprise.
At the beginning, he did everything possible to dominate the position of the chef, even if he did not live up to his name, all for the convenience of doing things in the restaurant later. This affected Jeff innocently becoming a deputy, and she had to take care of most of her business, and she really didn't want to go. At present, although the "visual kitchen" is a trick way for the Food and Drug Administration to check food safety, TK is promoting it as a project. It also cooperates with the food program of the TV station, which is like a brilliant opportunity for the chef to increase his popularity.
At present, most of the customers who come to CapriceNO.10 to dine are for the reputation of TK, not the fame of the chef. Jeff is indeed popular in France and his peers in the industry, but in the eyes of ordinary people in China, he is similar to a fledgling Dai Treat. Therefore, this opportunity is also rare for Jeff. However, now that she was "treated specially" by Gu Qian, he was out without being given any chance to compete fairly, and it was impossible for Dai Zhi not to feel weak and guilty.
"Do you need me to give you a hand that day?" Jeff asked with a smile.
Dai Zhi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't laugh at me." ”
"Did I laugh at you?" Jeff's face was puzzled: "I'm not laughing at you, I'm asking you very seriously." ”
Dai Zhiyi was embarrassed: "Where am I embarrassed to let you give me a hand." ”
Jeff seemed to finally see through Dai Zhi's thoughts, and grinned white teeth: "Alexa, you don't have to worry about anything, you are a person who can take charge of himself." I only have more work experience than you, and when you reach my age, you will do better than me, so don't feel ashamed of it. ”
"Actually, Mr. Gu asked my opinion, even if he doesn't make a decision, I think you are more suitable than me." Jeff shrugged, "Of course, if you're really uncomfortable, take it as if I gave it to you." I don't like to be in front of people. He raised his hand and gestured slightly, and continued, "I just want an inch of space, a space where I can spend time with the ingredients in peace." ”
He said so. When Dai Zhi first arrived, Gu Zhen revealed that Jeff was originally a private chef for a nobleman in France. If he prefers a quiet and private space, it stands to reason that the job in France is more suitable for him than that of Caprice. At the time, she wondered why Jeff gave up his job in France to come to Rongcheng, but now that she mentioned it, she rekindled her curiosity.
"Did you quit your job in France because that job didn't give you a quiet space?" This question already has the implication of prying into privacy. I still remember that at that time, she just faintly felt that the water was a little deep, so she didn't ask Gu Jiu again, and now, after all, they have worked together for a while, and they are familiar with each other, so she dares to ask tentatively.
Contrary to Dai Cheng's expectations, Jeff did not show an uncomfortable reaction, but generously admitted: "Yes." After speaking, he looked at Dai Zhi and added, "I came to Caprice because of an old friend." ”
added a sentence that just answered the confusion that her other half didn't ask. And the word "old friend" suddenly reminded her of the first time they met, he suddenly gave her a veneer gift, and after seeing her frightened, he half-jokingly explained that she gave him the feeling of an old friend for many years.
It's impossible to predict what will happen in the future, but I have to say that being friends with Jeff at Caprice is a precious asset.
"Isn't that because of Gu Qian?" Dai Zhi teased, "I think Gu Zhen has a lot of charm, originally you didn't come in the name of TK." ”
Jeff seemed to have another language barrier, and his expression was momentarily confused, but he quickly unfolded and continued his work with his head down.
Seeing this, Dai Zhi also walked to her usual countertop, and the moment she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the big and red tomatoes he was cutting, which was exceptionally beautiful.

After staying in the restaurant until the afternoon, Dai Cheng left early and went to Xu Rui's personal psychological counseling agency.
Because many things have been delayed again and again, Xiao Gu Yi's situation has not been told to Dr. Xu Rui in detail. I wanted to make an appointment with her last night, but her phone was always turned off, and Dai Zhi couldn't wait anymore, so she decided to go to her place of work to have a look first.
The front desk lady changed someone, more cautious than the previous one, and when she heard that Dai had no appointment, she was not even invited to sit in the rest room: "I'm sorry, this is our rule, I can't let you in without an appointment." ”
"I met Dr. Xu, and I just couldn't get through to her," Dai explained diligently, "Is she in the office now?" If you ask her insider, she will say that a lady surnamed Dai will come to find her, and she will know who I am. ”
A trace of hesitation flashed on the face of the front desk lady, and finally maintained a polite tone and said tactfully: "Dr. Xu, she has something to go out and is not in the office for the time being, or I will help you tell her if she comes back." ”
"Isn't it there?" Dai was disappointed, and wanted to ask again if she would come back, but suddenly heard a crisp sound of "bang-" in the aisle, and it was a nurse who knocked down a small potted plant in her hand.
