"Damn it, why is there still one dish left? Lao Li, did you have your brain squeezed by the door or your eyes blind today? How could you make such a big mistake?"
In the back kitchen, Li Chen, the manager of Lao Jiangnan, lectured a chef with his hands on his hips.
"Manager Li, I was wrong. I didn't want to. My stomach feels uncomfortable today. I remember telling Xiaomei to serve the food before going to the toilet."
The chef wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Li Chen waving his hand.
"Okay, okay, why explain so much? What I want is not a reason for you to do something wrong."
"There were originally a lot of dishes served today. How can Xiaomei remember which dish you mentioned?"
"Besides, you still put it in the steamer. Who knows where this dish is hidden."
"I don't want to hear your explanation now."
Hearing this, the chef lowered his head instantly and was frightened: "Then... what should we do now?"
"How about I send it up right away."
"You want to die!" Li Chen glared at him directly: "Didn't you hear the boss's order? The guests going up to the banquet today are distinguished guests. Without his order, no one is allowed to go up to that floor."
"If you are looking for death, don't involve me."
Li Chen roared angrily.
He is very aware of the temper of his boss Tang Haofeng.
If he wasn't a big shot, the boss wouldn't put on such a show to entertain people.
Just kidding, that was a table set up according to the standards of a state banquet.
Although Li Chen didn't know who the guest was, based on his experience and intuition, he must be a big boss that he had never been in contact with in several lifetimes.
The chef muttered again: "But if the boss knows that there is one missing dish in today's state banquet and the guests are unhappy, wouldn't the consequences be..."
He didn't say anything else, and Li Chen suddenly became nervous.
As a manager, he certainly knows how serious the consequences of missing a dish are.
Ordinary people would be furious if they knew they were being shortchanged.
Not to mention the distinguished guests.
The eating habits of those big shots are more cunning than the others. If they do not serve well, they will be severely punished. If the dish is not served, the boss fails to entertain the guests well.
Then there is no need for me as a manager to mess around.
Thinking of the consequences, Li Chen's back was sweating.
He looked towards the direction upstairs and murmured: "It should be too late to rush and put the dishes on now!"
"The distinguished guests probably haven't arrived yet..."
The chef nodded: "Yes, yes."
Li Chen immediately said: "Give me the food and I will serve it. Just stay here and I will take care of you when I come back."
"Yes." The chef did not dare to hesitate and hurriedly took out a plate of steamed wild yellow croaker from the steamer and handed it to Li Chen.
After Li Chen put on his insulating gloves, he immediately walked upstairs with the fish in hand.
A few minutes later, he arrived at the deserted floor and walked forward cautiously, for fear of spilling a drop of fish soup.
But who could have imagined it? When he came to the door of the box and saw a figure inside, his expression suddenly changed.
"This...this is not..."
now.
Guan Sheng's ears were still filled with the words that Mr. Ji said.
Every word left a deep mark on his heart like a lightning strike.
The... guardian in the darkness of the Dragon Kingdom.
This mountain and river is my backer...
This eternal life is safe because of me...
A deep sense of responsibility, like Mount Tai, suddenly fell on his shoulders.
He stared at Mr. Ji, and after confirming that the old man was telling the truth, his expression became serious.
And just when he was about to speak, he shouted angrily, immediately breaking the extremely solemn atmosphere between the two of them.
"Good boy, it's you again. Who let you in? Do you know where this is?"
As soon as these words came out, Guan Sheng's eyes turned cold and he looked out the door.
Mr. Ji's expression also changed slightly and he looked around.
Didn’t I say that?
No one can be allowed in.
The two of them looked around and saw Li Chen in a suit, their eyes turned stern.
Especially Guan Sheng, his expression was extremely disdainful.
If the old man hadn't begged him to come in for dinner, would he have come in?
What do you really think of you, old Jiangnan, as the Lingxiao Palace?
Guan Sheng snorted coldly, not taking Li Chen seriously, just to give Mr. Ji face.
But Li Chen was not happy anymore. He even got angry. This boy dared to ignore him.
He walked in immediately, put the dishes on the table, rolled up his sleeves, and pointed at Guan Sheng's head: "Boy, you don't know how to show appreciation."
"This is not the place you should come to."
"It's not worthy of someone like you."
"I'm warning you, you'd better get out immediately, otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."
Mr. Ji couldn't stand listening anymore: "Before you say these words, you'd better ask your boss for instructions."
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders disdainfully: "Excuse me?"
"Need to ask for instructions?"
"Smelly old man, who are you?"
"Oh, are you and this guy together?"
"I understand. You came here to cheat on food and drink. Why, seeing that there is no one on this floor, you just want to sneak away after eating, right?"
"You brat, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You are holding back all bad things to spoil our boss's good deeds. Isn't it just because our boss accepted your Li family's card the day before yesterday?"
"You're going to take revenge on our boss like this? No wonder your Li family is about to fall. A humble, shameless and shameless subordinate like you deserves it."
"..." A few words in succession made Mr. Ji's face darken instantly.
Guan Sheng smiled sarcastically: "Old man, listen, listen."
"If I agree to you and become a guardian, I'm afraid that this Dragon Kingdom will lose half of its people."
"I will kill this kind of people overseas."
Uh-huh!
Li Chen laughed directly: "One knife at a time?"
"You really thought you were great because you cut me down that day, didn't you?"
"If you can, chop me down, chop me to death."
"I'm sorry you don't have the guts. You are a coward, but you dare to attack a service staff like me. Why didn't you attack our boss the day before yesterday?"
"Those who bully the weak are afraid of the strong!"
Mr. Ji couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "That's enough!"
"Call your boss over here."
Li Chen raised his neck arrogantly: "Who are you, worthy of meeting our boss?"
"Our boss has a lot of things to do every day and receives all the big shots. Are you worthy?"
Guan Sheng smiled: "Don't you know who he is?"
Li Chen put his hands on his hips and spoke sharply: "Do I really need to know who this old man is?"
"I get up at five o'clock every morning to go to work in the hotel, and stay up until twelve o'clock in the morning before getting off work. The money I make is several times that of a disrespectful old man like him. Do you need to know who he is?"
Guan Sheng applauded: "Okay."
Mr. Ji took a deep breath, tried hard to control his emotions, and repeated, "I'll say it again, call your boss over."
Li Chen took out his cell phone: "You don't deserve it."
"I'm going to call security to come up and drive you two thieves out now."
The words fell.
But at this moment.
Outside the gate, a roar came.
"Li Chen, how dare you!"
"You're crazy!"
Hearing the sound, Li Chen quickly turned around and saw the owner of the hotel, the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Tang Haofeng, standing over the door.
Li Chen's heart skipped a beat when he saw the boss.
"boss……"
"I...I didn't show up here on purpose. It was these two people who stole food, so I..."
Before he could finish his words, Tang Haofeng rushed to him like an irrational bull.
then--
There was a "pop" sound.
There was a loud slap.
Li Chen was knocked to the ground on the spot.
He was stunned and looked at Tang Haofeng blankly.
"Old...boss..."
Tang Haofeng immediately roared.
"These two are my distinguished guests!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Do you want to die?"
"What?" At that moment, Li Chen was shocked.
He suddenly looked at Guan Sheng, is this guy a distinguished guest?
Wasn't he kicked out of Lao Jiangnan just the day before yesterday?
When Guan Sheng heard this, he chuckled.
"never mind."
"I don't deserve to be a distinguished guest like you from Jiangnan!"
"You say so! Old man."
Mr. Ji said solemnly: "Yes, I don't deserve it either."
Swish, swish, swish!
In an instant, Tang Haofeng went numb and immediately knelt down with a "pop"!
