Chapter 710: Chapter 546: What Goes Around Comes Around! (Part 2)

Compared to the slightly aged title of "auntie," she preferred being affectionately called "Manager Liu" by these two little ones.

You could say a woman is forever young at heart!

In Chu Qiweng’s heart, she suddenly felt a chill.

But who could she blame?

The two little ones spoke undeniable truths, leaving her with no room for rebuttal.

Fine!

Considering their cuteness, she’ll forgive them.

"Oh well, ’auntie’ is ’auntie.’ After all, time waits for no one!"

Chu Qiweng muttered softly to herself, a helpless smile tugging at the corners of her mouth as she reluctantly accepted the small title of "auntie."

"Come, come, Aunt Chu will help you pick a cartoon."

She picked up her phone and began seriously choosing cartoons suitable for the kids to watch.

Qingqing and Weiwei, upon hearing this, immediately gathered around her expectantly, their little eyes fixed on the phone screen, eagerly awaiting the exciting presentation of the cartoons.

Seeing the two little ones already quietly immersed in the world of cartoons, Huang Jun relaxed, then put on his chef uniform and headed to the sanitation area for the necessary hygiene procedures.

Liu Suyu followed closely behind, the two cooperating flawlessly as they completed this phase together, then stepping side by side into the kitchen.

As they entered the kitchen...

The clinking of pots and pans and the crunch of cutting ingredients intertwined, like a cheerful kitchen symphony, occasionally reaching their ears.

They didn’t need to guess to know that Qian Guoxiang, Aunt Li, and Aunt Lin were already busying themselves for tonight’s dinner in full swing.

Sure enough.

As soon as they entered the kitchen, they saw the busy figures of Qian Guoxiang and the others, along with the semi-finished dishes.

Liu Suyu greeted them with a smile: "Assistant Chef Qian, Aunt Li, Aunt Lin, thank you for your hard work! It’s really a big help from everyone today."

As she greeted them, she glanced gently at Huang Jun from the corner of her eye, as if to say: You too, thank you for your hard work!

"Oh, Manager Liu, you’re here!"

Aunt Lin looked up at the sound and immediately spotted Liu Suyu at the door, a warm smile spreading across her face as she nodded at her, then she saw Huang Jun beside her and warmly greeted him: "Chef Huang, you’re here too! You must show us some of your skills tonight!"

Pengfei and Jiang Shuihan, who were busy filming Qian Guoxiang’s cooking, also quickly paused their work to greet them: "Hello, Manager Liu, Chef Huang! We’re in for a treat tonight!"

Aunt Li, seeing Huang Jun and Liu Suyu walking in side by side, had her eyes instantly light up with curiosity and gossip. She smiled with a knowing look, her eyes seemingly holding countless untold stories, teasingly saying: "Oh dear, Manager Liu, Chef Huang, did you two plan this? How come you’re arriving together?"

Looking at Aunt Li’s suggestive expression and listening to her teasing words, Huang Jun couldn’t help but find it amusing, almost able to read an 800-word essay from her face, complete with rolling captions: The office romance between Chef Huang and Manager Liu can’t be hidden!

He immediately gave Aunt Li a look that said "don’t think too much" and candidly said: "We just happened to run into each other on the field, so we walked over together."

Though a little embarrassed by Aunt Li’s meaningful look, Liu Suyu replied with a calm face: "Yes, Aunt Li, it was just a coincidence."

"Oh! So that’s how it is."

The subtle disappointment on Aunt Li’s face was evident, like she had prepared snacks and a chair, only to receive this amount of information, yet her eyes still sparkled with curiosity, wanting to dig out more secrets from their expressions.

However, knowing that both had given a negative answer, she knew it was best not to pursue the topic further, so she turned back to her tasks at hand.

"Chef Huang, come quickly and take a look, how’s my braised lamb?"

Qian Guoxiang looked expectantly at Huang Jun, very much wanting to earn the approval of this culinary master.

Tonight he planned to showcase a few signature skills and let everyone taste his craftsmanship.

Initially, he hadn’t intended to show off at this new year’s eve dinner.

But Huang Jun’s enthusiastic invitation the previous day, asking him to also prepare a few dishes so that he and his colleagues at the garden could try his cooking, reignited his culinary passion.

So, he gladly agreed, deciding to leave his unique mark on this special new year’s eve dinner.

Actually, Huang Jun’s invitation for Qian Guoxiang to help with the cooking wasn’t just a chance for him to display his skills, but also had a bit of self-serving intent—this way, he could focus on fewer dishes, making things a lot easier for himself.

At this moment, Huang Jun walked over with a smile, his eyes landing on the pot of braised lamb bubbling with an enticing aroma, and he nodded slightly, praising: "Hmm, truly excellent! The color of this braised lamb alone is mouthwatering, the taste must be top-notch too. Assistant Chef Qian, your skills are impeccable once you get started!"

Hearing Huang Jun’s praise, Qian Guoxiang felt as sweet as if he’d tasted honey, but he maintained a humble and polite smile, saying: "Chef Huang, you’re flattering me. Compared to your skills, mine are just a minor play, still far from perfection..."

Huang Jun joked, "Assistant Chef Qian, being overly humble is just a form of pride..."

Qian Guoxiang, hearing this, was taken aback, musing to himself: Why does that sound so familiar?
