At 8:05 AM, the entire staff of Taifeng Building began their new day of tense and busy work.
Because she had stayed up late working the night before and hadn't slept well, Fan Mei had to wake up early to do her makeup and rush to work, which resulted in a poorly applied makeup. After being reminded by Ji Yue that the eyeliner at the corners of her eyes seemed to have smeared, she hurried to the ladies' restroom to touch it up.
Aside from the manager touching up her makeup in the restroom, the hall was orderly, while the kitchen experienced a bit of a stir.
The main reason was the arrival of a special visitor to the kitchen—Dong Shi and Dong Li's master, the former head chef of the soon-to-be-renamed Huang Ji Restaurant, the famed Master of Suzhou-style cuisine, Mr. Huang Shengli.
Since Mr. Huang Shengli did not like everyone, including his disciples, to call him by his full name, they all referred to him as Master Huang.
