Finally I Get You

Chapter 20:

When Cheng Ziqian saw that she was distracted again somehow, he couldn't help coughing: "By the way, where is your boyfriend?"

Obviously he has recovered from the shock of "old and ugly", but Gu Shengnan found that he still did not understand his words: "Who?"

"It's... Mr. Lu."

Gu Shengnan felt like he was stabbed. She didn't understand why she had such a weird reaction, but she felt it necessary to declare: "He is not my boyfriend."

She looked very determined. Although Cheng Ziqian subconsciously felt that such an ordinary woman and such a radiant man could not get together, but she was surprised immediately: "The last time you were on the rooftop of the reception, how did you two? meeting……"

At that time, he seemed a little hard to tell, he had to make a gesture.

Gu Shengnan was ashamed.

How to explain it? Gu Shengnan had no clue about this, so he had to laugh: "I was drunk that day and frivolous him, so scared that he bought a plane ticket and left in a few days."

Cheng Ziqian probably never heard a woman say such a rascal thing, and suddenly fell into a state of fright. Gu Shengnan took advantage of this time to drank the wine quickly, and prepared to go bugging: "Cheng, I'm back to work."

Cheng Ziqian watched her leave, always feeling that something was wrong, until her back disappeared behind the door leading to the back kitchen, Cheng Ziqian suddenly came over: The reason why he felt something was wrong with this woman was because in the joke she just said, Something is hidden carefully.

Such things are called reluctance...

The whole day went by step by step. After get off work, Gu Shengnan went to the parking lot to pick up the car and drove home. When he suddenly discovered that there was water outside the car window, he realized that he had driven the car to the yacht house.

Gu Shengnan thought for a while, lowered the window and looked at the Victoria not far away——

A man in an open white shirt is walking up the deck.

Gu Shengnan was so scared that his fingers tightened when he grasped the steering wheel.

He quickly pushed his glasses and took a closer look, only to find that it was a foreigner with golden hair. Gu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief, restarted the car, and watched the Victoria in the rear mirror get further and further away from him until it disappeared.

Before you know it, half a month has passed. Gu Shengnan is still the "old and ugly" western food chef, leading a group of western food department guys in an open and secret contest with the Chinese food department. It seems something Nothing changed, but Xu Zhaodi found that this teacher Gu was a little different.

As usual, when Gu Shengnan is on vacation and Xu Zhaodi is free, Xu Zhaodi will go to Gu's family for a meal. When Gu Shengnan brings the innovative Italian vanilla roasted lamb ribs to Xu Zhaodi's hand, Xu Zhaodi cut a rib without expression. After eating with an expression and putting down his knife and fork, Gu Shengnan was a little dissatisfied: "Not delicious?"

"it is tasty!"

"Then why don't you have any expression of surprise?"

"Surprised expression?" Xu Zhaodi pondered for a while, and immediately learned the signature baby voice of sister Zhiling, "Wow, it's delicious! As expected of Chef Gu!"

"That's not the case." Gu Shengnan was quite sure that this was not the so-called surprise expression she wanted to see.

Xu Zhaodi cut another piece blankly, and asked as he chewed, "Then what should I do?"

"You should..." Gu Shengnan tilted his head and thought, "When he took the first bite, his eyes lit up. When he took the second bite, his knife and fork would become extra cautious..."

Gu Shengnan couldn't continue. Isn't what she described is exactly what Lu Jin looks when he eats her food?

She was so stunned that she did not speak, but she was anxious Xu Zhaodi: "Shengnan? Shengnan?"

Xu Zhaodi waved his hands and dangled in front of her as she called the soul, and Gu Shengnan came back to his senses: "I'm going to see if the soup is ready."

Back in the kitchen, I opened the lid of the soup pot, and the smell of the soup was immediately scented, and the surface of the soup was bubbling. One of the bubbles unknowingly turned into the face of Gu Shengnan’s instructor when he was studying cooking in France: "Shengnan , I found that your biggest problem is not anything else, but low self-esteem. Only when the food you make is recognized, you can feel that you also have the value of existence, and it is no longer a dispensable existence in the eyes of others. If cooking skills It is not love for you, but a means to please others, then you will never be a good chef."

Gu Shengnan regained his senses and suddenly closed the lid of the pot.

She will always think of someone inexplicably during this period. Is it because she has found an unprecedented sense of presence in him? Gu Shengnan knocked himself hard with the big spoon in his hand, and finally knocked the idea out of his head.

Compared to the Gu's family, where the smell of food is everywhere, the only thing that is floating in the newly renovated room next door is the odor of furniture and paint intertwined.

"Snee!"

"Mr. Lu, are you allergic to the new paint? Why do you keep sneezing?"

"Snee!"

"Your tissue."

"Snee!"

"You'd better wait two days, and wait until the smell is gone before you move in."

This man called "Mr. Lu" by the housing agency, the man who sneezes non-stop as soon as he entered the house, took the tissues handed by the housing agency and blew his nose before finally relieving himself. Waved to the intermediary again and again: "You made a mistake, I am not Mr. Lu, I am Mr. Lu's assistant."

"Oh! Oh!" The real estate agent immediately changed his words, "So...Mr. Assistant, are you satisfied with the results of the renovation?"

Meng Xinjie was startled. He just sneezed so that he had forgotten the boss on the cellphone video side. Now he remembered the purpose of the trip, he quickly took out the video cellphone from his pocket and held it to the front: "Mr. Lu, Are you satisfied with the decoration results?"

Lu Jin on the other side of the video had a dark face. After being left in the air for so long, his ears were almost callused when he heard the sneeze. Naturally, he couldn't give a good face: "Meng Xinjie, you pig?"

"No! I am a cow, what's wrong?"

Lu Jin helplessly said, "Where did you put your phone just now? All I saw was black."

"Ah!" Meng Xinjie just remembered, "I started sneezing as soon as I walked in, and subconsciously put my phone...in my pocket."

Lu Jin just got a headache with anger.

On the other side of the video, Lu Jin began to take a deep breath. Based on Meng Xinjie's understanding of his boss, his deep breath definitely heralded the next disaster. Before the ground broke the landslide, Meng Xinjie quickly made up for it: "I'm sorry, sorry!"

Meng Xinjie quickly adjusted the direction of the camera on his phone and began to introduce: "This is the living room."

"This is the study room."

"This is the dressing room."

"This is the bar counter."

"This is the kitchen..."

Just after being introduced to the kitchen, there was a low voice from the other end of the video: "Keep down!"

Meng Xinjie was caught off guard: "Huh?"

Lu Jin guessed that he had the heart to kill him: "Squat! Down!"

Meng Xinjie had to squat down.

Then Lu Jin ordered: "Squat and leave the kitchen, hurry up."

Confused, Meng Xinjie had to do it, squatting and moving back step by step. The housing agent who stood not far away watched Meng Xinjie’s actions like a ghost, and his thoughts were already out of words: I wonder if I rented the house to two perverts...

Over there, Gu Shengnan returned to the living room with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but look back at the kitchen next door as he walked.

Xu Zhaodi had all the silver spoons in her hand, and she was waiting for her to bring the soup. At this moment, seeing Gu Shengnan not only had empty hands, but also looked back from time to time, Xu Zhaodi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I just seemed to see someone next door taking a picture of me with a mobile phone."

"Could it be a pervert?" Xu Zhaodi immediately became interested, dropped the small silver spoon, got up and drilled into the kitchen, "Where? Where?"

Gu Shengnan pointed to the other side. Her apartment was opposite the kitchen next door, but at this moment, Xu Zhaodi couldn't see a single person except for the renovated empty kitchen opposite.

"Are you wrong?"

"It's probably so." Gu Shengnan nodded to himself, "The kitchen is not a bathroom, so there is nothing to take secretly."

At this moment, Meng Xinjie, who successfully hid in the living room, was immediately given the boss on the other side of the video chat: "You almost broke my business."

Meng Xinjie, who is still wandering outside the situation, don't mention how wronged he is: "Where did I break your business?"

"Just now in the kitchen, Gu Shengnan on the opposite side almost saw you."

Meng Xinjie then reacted: "No wonder you suddenly let me squat down... No, Mr. Lu, you are planning to move over, why are you so mysterious? Sooner or later she will know that you are her new neighbor."

Lu Jin raised his eyebrows: "Are you questioning my decision?"

Meng Xinjie lowered his head: "Don't dare."

"In short, before I remove the cast and return to City B, she is not allowed to know who her new neighbor is."

Meng Xinjie finally understood the boss's intentions, but this time he really couldn't help but complain: his boss has never seen an idol drama! How can you think that such a reunion will make the heroine unforgettable for life, like those brain-dead screenwriters?

Meng Xinjie hesitated for a while, because he wanted to ask others, he didn't say what he was thinking, and quickly made a pitiful look: "Mr. Lu, can I..."

"No." Lu Jin flatly denied.

Meng Xinjie quit: "I haven't said what I want!"

"I know if you don't tell me, you want to ask me, can you go to your Celine Xu."

For the first time, Meng Xinjie felt that his boss’s quiet voice, like a deep pool of water, sounded so flat: "Why not?"

"Your celine knows that you are back. Doesn't it mean telling Gu Shengnan that I am also back? So, no! OK!"

Meng Xinjie hung up the phone, raised his head, and cried silently in his heart.

***

Unknowingly, another half month passed. Seeing that her 29th birthday was getting closer and closer, Gu Shengnan was already depressed enough, but she didn't expect that something more depressing was waiting for her——

"The big thing is not good! Our hotel is going to lay off staff."

The guy under Gu Shengnan's hand, who has always been hailed as the "big horn", brought back a breaking news for the catering department.

The back chef immediately blasted the pot: "No? Where is the news?"

The loudspeaker looked very sure: "The news was leaked from the personnel department, and it can't be wrong. I heard that Mr. Cheng has talked with the leaders of the procurement, security, sales, and finance departments, and he will soon be round. To our catering department."

"This President Cheng is so cruel! It's only a month, so he just... wants to lay off employees?"

Gu Shengnan is discussing with the designer invited from outside what kind of new menu should be made for the new dish she has researched not long ago. After hearing this gossip, she no longer wanted to listen to it, so she said to the designer "Let us Let's talk about it later." After that, he began to rectify the discipline: "What kind of nonsense? Go to work."

Gu Shengnan is rarely so harsh, and the sad guys have no choice but to behave like birds and beasts. The big speaker is the least afraid of her. Just after washing two dishes, he sneaked over to Gu Shengnan: "Teacher Gu, are you not worried at all?"

"If you talk more, I will second Aning to be a waiter in the restaurant and let you wash his dishes."

The big horn then retreated with a shitful smile.

This time it is finally quiet, Gu Shengnan can concentrate on talking about the new menu with the designer.

Before the restaurant closed tonight, the designer's team had taken pictures of these four new dishes by Gu Shengnan, and the layout of the menu had been finalized. Gu Shengnan finally got a big deal.

The guys changed back to casual clothes to get off work. After Gu Shengnan sent the designer away, he returned to the kitchen and prepared to change clothes and leave work.

Unexpectedly, she just took off the chef's uniform, and the waiter of the restaurant went to her lounge to find her.

"Teacher Gu, are you still off work?"

"what happened?"

"The restaurant that Mr. Cheng arrived three minutes ago, he ordered a meal, but... the kitchen is gone!" The waiter looked at Gu Shengnan as if looking at the last hope, "Fortunately you haven't left yet."

Gu Shengnan glanced at the wall clock on the wall. He came to dinner so late? Who made him the general manager of Bauhinia? Gu Shengnan had to put on his chef's clothes and return to the operating room.

Fortunately, the processes of the few dishes he ordered were not complicated. Gu Shengnan estimated that he could finish two of them in ten minutes, so he started to make them.

When the first dish was almost finished, she heard footsteps and thought it was the waiter to urge the dishes, so she said without raising her head: "It's ready soon, it's almost time to serve it, you wait..."

Before the words were over, a hand was stretched out of the diagonal stab, he picked up the smoked salmon slices that hadn't been put on the plate and ate it.

Gu Shengnan looked up in shock, and saw Cheng Ziqian smile at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm so hungry."

"President Cheng, why did you come in?"

"I heard the waiter say that you are left in the kitchen now," he should be really hungry, and he picked up a slice of smoked salmon, "it’s enough to trouble you if you want you to cook for me. , I just came here directly, so I don’t have to bother the waiter running in and out of the place to serve food."

This man always smiled so kindly, he really couldn't think of how he was so ruthless to lay off large-scale staff... Gu Shengnan quickly lowered his head to cook the second course, lest he think about layoffs again.

Cheng Ziqian leaned on the console in silence and watched her cooking. Because she had already taken off the chef's hat, she lowered her head, and a strand of hair fell like this. Cheng Ziqian was surprised to find that this woman's profile turned out to be so delicate.

"Cheng, wait another five minutes, this dish will be..."

Gu Shengnan's words were suddenly interrupted by a loud anger: "Cheng Ziqian!"

Cheng Ziqian turned his head back suddenly. Gu Shengnan, who was so scared that the knife was released, also looked over. He saw a man about 4 or 50 years old rushing into the operating room angrily.

Cheng Ziqian subconsciously pulled Gu Shengnan back: "Minister Li, you..."

This man named Director Li. Pointing to Cheng Ziqian’s nose all the way towards Cheng Ziqian: "When I entered Bauhinia, it was estimated that your teeth hadn't been straightened. What qualifications do you have to fire me?!"

With that, he picked up a big bucket of jam on the console and poured it on Cheng Ziqian.

When Gu Shengnan saw this, he was immediately out of anger. He immediately pushed away the hand that Cheng Ziqian was holding tightly, and rushed towards Minister Li with full firepower: "Hey! This is the jam I finally made! Don't... …"

"Wow!"

"Ping!"

"Pong!"

Gu Shengnan neither stopped Minister Li nor rescued his jam, but—

Cheng Ziqian was splashed with jam.

***

Nearly 10 o'clock in the evening, Meng Xinjie and the staff of the home improvement company put all the newly delivered furniture in every corner of the apartment according to someone's requirements.

Finally able to return to the hotel.

Meng Xinjie was about to take a taxi to leave here. He never thought that he saw Gu Shengnan getting out of a man's car in the opposite lane.

Gu Shengnan was also wearing a man's suit jacket.

That man... actually stroked the broken hair on his forehead for Gu Shengnan.

Meng Xinjie was stunned for half a minute.

Out of revenge, Meng Xinjie immediately dialed the phone of someone far away in the magic city: "Mr. Lu!"

Someone had a bad temper and threw a word: "Say."

"The big thing is bad!"

"Skip these unnutritious ones and talk about the point."

"I saw a man sending Gu Shengnan home... and... they looked very close..."
