Chapter 4

Soon they began to call each of the employees and every time they left they had a puzzled face, soon there were only 5 employees missing and the manager decided to call everyone together, there was Yunyao, as soon as they entered they noticed that the manager and the chef were seated side by side and looked at them judging their reactions, Yunyao was calm because if it really was something bad the manager and the chef would have made a fuss over what had happened.

"We called all of you about an incident that occurred in the kitchen today." The manager began to speak "Please Chef Wang explain what happened"

"Well, 15 minutes ago I left the kitchen for a moment and it seems that one of the employees dared to make a dish that was given to a very important client" After that, he swept everyone away with his gaze and continued. "We want to know who she was and what she wanted to achieve by doing that" Yunyao was going to say that it was her but one of the kitchen assistants who hated her gave her away.

"With respect Chef, I saw Lin Yunyao doing something in the kitchen when you went out" It was true what that girl said, but she did not add that it was she who gave the plate to the waiter to take away.

"Is that true Yunyao?" The chef looked at Yunyao in a very suspicious way, she only nodded then the manager asked everyone to leave, among all those who left, only Jang Sunmi was smiling, this was the assistant who had betrayed Yunyao.

She believed that the safest thing that was going to happen was that they would fire Yunyao, she hated her since not only did she get along with everyone but she was prettier than her, even though she was an orphan and that was something she didn't could bear. With all the workers except Yunyao outside they started talking.

"Yunyao do you know what you did today?" The manager started and before Yunyao could speak he continued. "Tell me what was your reason for doing that?" He was not very upset, he was just worried that if things had gone wrong today the restaurant would have been closed.

"Well Mr. Shu, the truth is that I had no intention of giving the customer the plate" She was still very calm and that surprised the men in front of her. "That dish had been prepared for Chef Wang since he wanted to make a deal with that recipe" That took both men by surprise as they were creating many theories in their heads but they had not thought of that.

"If this is how you say it happened, then how did that dish end up in the hands of the mayor's wife?" Now Yunyao was a bit surprised as she didn't know that this was the mayor's wife.

"With respect manager, while I was cleaning the dishes that I had dirty, the plate was accidentally brought to the client's table" She was telling the truth so her tone was very credible, the manager and the chef did not say anything to her more but they went on to ask about the dish.

"Well that's fine, that's over and the lady loved the dish, tell me what did you want in exchange for the recipe?" At this time of the 90s, not many dishes were popular since normally only the traditional was followed and there was no variety of flavors so some of the recipes that Yunyao had was something completely innovative.

"The truth is that first I would like you to taste the dishes yourself and after that we will talk about the deal" She wanted a fair deal and what better way to get it is if you first taste the product. "After closing please stay a bit longer so we can try them out"

Both men agreed, although they knew that those dishes must be impressive since the Mayor's wife praised them so much and they themselves had to try them to be sure.

It only took another hour and a half until the restaurant closed, to everyone's liking there were no more incidents, on the one hand Jang Sunmi was left wanting to see Yunyao in trouble since he did not see any hint of concern on her face, but she he thought that the safest thing is that she was pretending to not look bad in front of her classmates.
