At Xixi Cafe, I met Liu Xiaoting.

  But I almost didnt recognize him.

  Only saw Liu Xiaoting with big waves, a tight-fitting dress wrapped around her hips, and a charming smile on her face.

  Is this Liu Xiaoting?

  Im greatly surprised.

  When working as a waiter at Fengs chicken soup shop, he was not like this. He wore ordinary clothes, never deliberately dressed up, and rarely spoke.

  When she first went to the chicken soup restaurant for an interview, she claimed to be a migrant worker from the countryside.

  What?

  Has the working girl become a phoenix?

  Seeing me dazed, Liu Xiaoting smiled and said, "Dont dare to admit it, right?"

  Youre not ordinary. When you went to work as a waitress at that chicken soup shop, you had an ulterior motive.

  Im being too blunt.

  I remembered a detail.

  When the chicken soup shop was booming, one evening after closing, I had an urgent matter and left the office temporarily. When I came back, I found that someone was rummaging through my drawer.

  At that time, the other party explained that there was no invoice at the front desk and she was looking for an invoice.

  If there is no invoice, you should tell me directly, cant flip through the drawer.

  At that time, I had suspected that the other party might be looking for the secret recipe of chicken noodle soup.

  Later, I paid special attention to Liu Xiaoting and found that her every move revealed a hard-to-conceal temperament. I felt that she must have had another purpose for coming to the chicken soup shop.

  "Youre very clever." Liu Xiaoting nodded in approval, ordered the waiter to bring two cups of coffee, then pulled out a bank card from her bag and handed it to me, "Theres 20,000 yuan inside, take it."

  "Whats wrong?" I was taken aback.

  "You should need it now."

  "Pity me?"

  "Whos pitying you?" Liu Xiaoting pulled out a cigarette and lit it with a lighter, "I know youre not busy now, Ill introduce you to the catering department of Emperor Hotel as a manager, with a monthly salary of 10,000. This is two months salary in advance."

  Having said that, without waiting for me to speak, he added, "I think you wont refuse this job. Right?"

  "Ah?" I was startled.

  The Emperor Hotel is the most luxurious five-star hotel in Ning City, specially receiving domestic and foreign dignitaries. Liu Xiaoting introduced me to be the head of the catering department?

  What kind of person is she?

  "I am the deputy general manager of Emperor Group."

  "I know you, Chen Yang, very well, and I think you can handle the position of supervisor. You can start work tomorrow."

  Liu Xiaoting finished speaking, ignoring my shocked face, and casually blew out a string of smoke rings, changing the subject. "I didnt come to find you for this, but for something else thats very important..."

  She looked around and lowered her voice, "Ive investigated, the food poisoning incident is related to Tang Simao. He was the one who put medicine in the chicken soup that the guests drank."

  "Is it really him?!"

  My head spun for a moment.

  After the food poisoning incident at the chicken soup restaurant, Master Tang Si Mao disappeared. Liu Xiao Ting reminded me at the time that something was off about Tang Si Mao.

  I naturally suspected Tang Sima. However, a string of investigations followed one after another, and I spent my days going back and forth between the police station and the hospital, without any energy to investigate this matter.

  Whats more, Tang Simao suddenly disappeared, where can I find him?

  "It was Xiaolan who told me. When Xiaolan was carrying the chicken soup to 106, Si Maowei came over and took the chicken soup from her. He said he had an urgent matter to discuss with Xiaolan and asked her to hurry to the front desk."

  Xiao Lan left when she saw Tang Simao take out a paper package from his pocket and pour something into the chicken soup bowl...

  "Bastard!"

  Before Liu Xiaoting finished speaking, I slammed the coffee cup heavily and the coffee inside splashed out.

  "Tan Si-ma is indeed a rascal. But this matter is suspicious,"

  Liu Xiaoting calmly analyzed, "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that Tang Simao himself was wrong, or would he and the guest who ate with him have a vendetta and intentionally retaliate?"

  "There is also another possibility..."

  Liu Xiaotings eyes were unusual, "Someone wants to smash the sign of the chicken soup shop and bought off Tang Simao."

  My heart sank.

  Actually, I had thought of those things he said before too.

  Why did Liu Xiaoting say these things to me?

  My eyes lit up, "You must have a way to help me make a comeback, right?"

  The other party responded coldly: "This is your own business, why should I help you?"

  I suddenly felt a bit awkward.

  Yes, who is he to you? Why should they help you?

  I lit a cigarette and took two consecutive puffs, trying to calm my emotions. "Since youre investigating this matter in secret, it means you dont want to be just an onlooker, does it?"

  Liu Xiaoting smiled, "The only way to restore your reputation is to find Tang Simao and let him tell the truth. Only then can you make a comeback."

  "Where can I find Tang Sima?" My eyes lit up again.

  "It depends on your skills..." Just then, the other persons phone rang.

  "Alright, I have something else to attend to, Ill leave first."

  "Remember, tomorrow morning at 8 oclock sharp, report to the Imperial Building on time."

  Liu Xiaoting finished speaking, extinguished the half cigarette in her hand and walked away.

  As I gazed at his back, I suddenly felt that I might have fallen into a trap.

  The deputy general manager of the Emperors Building, actually humbled himself to apply for a job as a waiter in my chicken soup shop, undoubtedly to get the secret recipe for chicken noodle soup.

  Liu Xiaoting is not simple.

  In addition.

  Why is she secretly investigating the food poisoning incident?

  Do you really want to help me?

  Restore my reputation and let me make a comeback?

  Is there still something fishy going on?

  I finished drinking the coffee in the cup and put the bank card into my pocket.

  Twenty thousand yuan, at this time for me, is like timely snow in summer.

  Otherwise, I really cant even afford the rent.

  The next day at 8:00 sharp, I arrived on time at the Imperial Building.

  Liu Xiaoting took me to the catering department and introduced me to everyone. "Chen Yang will be in charge of the catering department from now on, you all need to support his work."

  Then she briefly introduced the situation to me and left in a hurry.

  The Imperial Palace Hotels dining department had over thirty chefs, all staring at me with piercing eyes.

  I know these people are all first-class chefs and special-class chefs, this manager is hard to manage.

  If its not going well, then so be it, I never planned on staying for a long time anyway.

  I was originally disheartened and disappointed, but after hearing the news brought by Liu Xiaoting and being reminded by her, I reignited my hope of making a comeback.

  As long as Tang Simao is found and he is willing to reveal the inside story, Fengs Chicken Soup Restaurant can be cleared of its name.

  Even if its not for myself, I have to do it for Boss Feng.

  Others hard-earned sign cant be ruined by me.

  "Im new here, please take care of me."

  After a polite remark, I immediately spoke in a stern tone, "As the person in charge, I only want to say one thing. The quality of the food is not the issue for now, first and foremost, we must ensure safety, absolutely no food poisoning incidents are allowed to happen..."

  "Director Chen!"

  I hadnt finished speaking when a shout of surprise came from outside.

  Turning back, a round-faced girl with bangs walked in.

  "Xiao Lan?" I was somewhat surprised.

  Xiao Lan was a waitress at a chicken soup restaurant before. She is a diligent rural girl who came to the city to work.

  Never expected to run into her here.
