Chapter 1384: Was he being praised by his boss?
Could it be that… if they wanted to get a promotion in the future, they would have to butter up to their boss more often?
Ding!
As soon as the elevator arrived, and their boss entered the elevator with his girlfriend, the secretary’s office exploded!
“Did you guys hear that just now? What did the boss’s girlfriend say? Boss who’s an unsmiling type actually has such a hidden side? He actually likes it when people praise him?” said Secretary A.
Secretary B nodded. “I thought the boss would lose his temper and say what kind of bootlicking is this… I didn’t expect the boss to actually smile! Did you see that? A smile…”
The secretaries nodded in unison.
“Then, shall we… give it a try this afternoon?” Secretary C asked tentatively.
Lin Chen’s chief secretary laughed softly. “I feel that only the President’s girlfriend is good at flattering him. If we try it, we’ll probably just be making a fool of ourselves!”
“Come, come, come! Let’s pick someone to try! Same rule… the one who got the shortest toothpick will try to suck up to the boss today!”
Lin Chen’s secretary’s office got into action immediately. A few of them broke a toothpick into pieces to draw lots for deciding the one to suck up to the boss today…
Very quickly, the results were out. Lin Chen’s chief secretary was chosen to be a lab rat to suck up to their boss today.
Lin Chen’s secretary was speechless.
…
Lu Yunfan had never thought that Lin Chen would have taken her words seriously when she said she wanted to eat a drumstick as big as Lin Chen. When they arrived at the restaurant, Lin Chen actually told the waiter that Lu Yunfan wanted to eat such a drumstick. The waiter’s eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.
He had to confirm it more than once before concluding that the customer was serious. If they weren’t serious, the waiter would have chased them out long ago.
“Sir… are you sure?” The waiter asked again with a conscience.
“No… no need, Brother Lin Chen! I was just kidding!” Lu Yunfan lowered her head, not daring to look at the way the waiter was looking at her!
Brother Lin Chen actually said that a young lady like her wanted to eat a drumstick as big as him…
“Can’t your head chef cook it?” Lin Chen asked the waiter seriously.
The waiter didn’t know what crime he had committed to meet such a customer. He could only smile and say, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go and ask the head chef.”
“If your head chef can’t even fulfill the guest’s request…” Lin Chen looked like he was about to say something, but he didn’t say anything else.
The waiter left with a smile on his face. Lu Yunfan bit her lip and asked, “Brother Lin Chen, did you take revenge on me because I said that your ears turned red today?”
Lin Chen glanced at Lu Yunfan, then narrowed his eyes and unfolded the napkin in front of him. Lu Yunfan looked at her like he was calling her a stupid woman…
Lu Yunfan was convinced that Brother Lin Chen must be taking revenge on her, but she liked such sweet revenge!
As long as she could get together with Brother Lin Chen, Lu Yunfan was willing to do anything. Be it revenge or being stupid, she didn’t care—as long as Brother Lin Chen was happy.
When the head chef heard that someone asked for a chicken drumstick the size of a person, he felt that it was too odd. He frowned and said to the waiter that he wanted to meet the customer personally.
The waiter quickly led the head chef out.
When the head chef saw Lin Chen, he immediately turned around in fright…
The waiter was at a loss as he followed the head chef back to the kitchen.
“Head Chef? What’s the matter? Didn’t you say this customer is here to pick a fight?” The waiter looked at the head chef through the glass on the kitchen door.
She felt that… the head chef’s timid manner made him appear like a thief.
“Are you sick? You don’t even know the boss! What kind of crappy eyes were those? You almost caused my demise!” The head chef reprimanded the waiter.
“Boss?” The waiter’s eyes widened.
Although Lin Chen was the boss of this restaurant, he rarely visited the restaurant. This place was left to the manager to manage, so it was reasonable that the waiter didn’t know him.
The head chef turned around and looked at the busy kitchen, frowning. He then asked the waiter, “Tell me in detail again. What did the boss tell you just now?”
The waiter carefully explained what Lin Chen had just said. When the waiter told the head chef that Lin Chen had asked, “Can’t your head chef do it?”, he gasped.
The head chef paced back and forth as he thought about it. Could this be a test given by the boss?
The head chef clapped his hands and gathered all the chefs. Then, he told the other chefs that they had to make a 1.86cm long chicken drumstick. He asked them to think of a solution along with him.
Later on, the head chef chose a few people. From the chicken drumsticks, he removed the chicken meat from the bones and roasted them all using the cooking method of Orleans drumsticks. After that, he arranged them neatly and made cheese take the place of the bones. He then used a thin brush to brush on a layer of plum sauce before using a small brush to brush up a layer of bread crumbs and egg paste and finally drenching it with hot oil thrice.
After that, the head chef personally pushed the food cart out, bringing with it a visual effect of a 1.86-meter-tall chicken drumstick that attracted everyone’s attention in the restaurant.
When the head chef personally pushed the cart over, Lu Yunfan felt like she was about to suffocate…
What was going on?
There was actually a drumstick as big as Lin Chen!
Was this restaurant for real?
She stole a glance at Lin Chen, wondering if he would let her eat all the drumsticks.
“Hello, Mr. Lin. This is the drumstick you ordered. Can I help you cut it?” The head chef’s attitude towards Lin Chen was especially respectful.
Lu Yunfan looked up at Lin Chen and saw him nodding slightly.
The host took the plate in front of Lu Yunfan first. He then cut the ” drumsticks” into thin slices and placed them on the plate.
The chicken had its skin removed, and the inside was connected to sticky cheese. It looked like pizza from a commercial, making one very hungry.
On the seat next to them, there were already customers asking for the name of the dish, wanting to order the same thing.
After Lu Yunfan thanked him, she picked up the knife and fork under Lin Chen’s gaze, cut a little piece of the chicken, and put it into her mouth…
The skin was crisp, and the chicken meat was tender. There was a strong aroma of cheese inside, making it very appetizing. The several layers of taste overlapped, enough to stimulate one’s taste buds. Lu Yunfan’s eyes lit up. She covered her mouth with one hand as she praised the chef. “The taste is excellent!”
The head chef smiled and looked nervously in Lin Chen’s direction.
Lin Chen also tasted it. It was indeed not bad!
Actually, Lin Chen hadn’t expected the head chef to be so capable.
After Lin Chen swallowed the food in his mouth, he wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at the head chef. “You did well!”
The head chef was almost moved to tears. Was he being praised by the boss?
“Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Lin!” The head chef heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Lin Chen.
