117: Chapter 118 Inferior Food

Once food sold at Yuehai Restaurant has been purchased, it cannot be returned.

After Qi Yueling finished relaying the order, Meng Yaning walked into the kitchen.

Master Ai Mi, there's no need to use the best ingredients for Room 101. The guests at that table are two young people wearing cheap clothes from street stalls; they don't have the money to pay the bill. Giving them the best ingredients is just a waste. When it's time to pay, they definitely won't be able to afford it and will have to be dealt with by the security team.

Thank you for the reminder, Meng Yaning. I'll share half of this top-grade Wagyu with you later.

Master Ai Mi, you're so kind.

There's an old Chinese saying: 'Wild boars cannot appreciate fine bran.' Giving such good things to people who don't understand Wagyu is a waste. If God knew I was wasting ingredients, He would blame me. If someone with taste like Meng Yaning eats it, the life of the Wagyu will be reborn.

After Chef Ai Mi finished speaking, he touched Meng Yaning's hand and slipped a key into her palm.

Meng Yaning's face flushed slightly.

She had been secretly in love with this chef for three years. The two of them had been in an ambiguous relationship, and they had done everything, but the chef still refused to marry her.

This caused her great distress.

In order to be with this man, Meng Yaning often used her position to help the chef gain benefits.

The more she did, the better Ai Mi's attitude toward her became.

After coming out of the kitchen, the smile on Meng Yaning's face never faded.

Returning to her post, Meng Yaning served three more guests.

While taking a guest to the parking lot, she was stunned by a super luxury car in the underground garage.

A porsche Cayenne 1187, a globally limited edition luxury car, was actually parked in the Yuehai Restaurant parking lot.

After watching the guest leave, Meng Yaning couldn't help but walk up to the porsche Cayenne 1187. She circled the car, her hand unable to resist resting on it, caressing such a super luxury car.

Every time she touched it, her heart raced.

If only she could get to know the owner of this car.

Even if the person driving this car were an old man, Meng Yaning could still praise him to the skies.

Meng Yaning's envious gaze fell on the passenger seat.

She imagined herself sitting in the passenger seat.

The more Meng Yaning looked at the luxury car, the more tempted she became.

She couldn't help but take out her phone, wanting to take a few photos.

Meng Yaning sat on the car's hood, striking a pose for her phone camera.

The shutter sound of the phone masked the screeching sound of a key scratching across the hood.

When Meng Yaning climbed off the porsche Cayenne 1187, her face turned pale at the sight of the scratch on the hood.

She looked up at the security camera and hurried toward the security office.

She needed to get to the security office as soon as possible to delete the footage of her sitting on the car taking photos.

Just as Zhang Xiaohua took two steps, she stopped that thought.

She remembered the plot in CEO romance novels, where the female lead accidentally damages the CEO's car. The girl doesn't have the money to pay for the damages, so she becomes the CEO's maid to pay off the debt, and while paying it off, she becomes the CEO's wife.

Thinking of this plot, the more Zhang Xiaohua looked at the scratch, the more it looked like the red thread of fate.

She hurriedly pulled cosmetics and eye drops from her bag to touch up her makeup.

She painted herself to look like a pitiful, delicate flower.

She pretended to be remorseful and knelt in front of the car, shedding tears.

...

Inside a luxury private room at the Yuehai Restaurant, the dishes ordered by An Xin had all been served.

An Xin picked up a piece of Wagyu, put it in his mouth, and frowned in displeasure.

Qi Yueling, isn't there something wrong with this Wagyu of yours?

Qi Yueling hadn't been working there for very long and didn't know much about ingredients.

Sir, if you have any issues, please feel free to speak directly.

Qi Yueling's confusion and apology were genuine, not like she was acting.

This dish probably had nothing to do with her.

An Xin had eaten the Wagyu here once before; the fat in the snowflake marbling of the Wagyu should be sweet, not have a sour, tomato-like taste.

Please bring the chef who prepared this dish over here.

Qi Yueling hurried to the kitchen to call the chef.

Top-grade ingredients were always cooked by the head chef, Ai Mi.

Head Chef Ai Mi, the guest who ordered the Wagyu wants to see you. Please come with me.

It's mealtime, and I'm very busy. I don't have time to chit-chat with country bumpkins. For people who are deliberately looking for trouble like this, you should go find the security captain, not me.

Ai Mi said with a straight face, shooing her away; he didn't think he was wrong at all.

Stalls outside used non-fresh beef all the time, and Ai Mi didn't see any problem with people wearing cheap clothes eating this kind of meat.

In his eyes, food, like people, had levels of nobility and inferiority.

Subpar food was for people at the bottom.

High-quality cuisine was food for the upper class.

Qi Yueling was kicked out of the kitchen. Looking at the closed door, she was very angry.

In order not to let An Xin be disappointed in her, and to retain An Xin as a client, Qi Yueling decided to go all out.

She called the president of the Yuehai Restaurant.

CEO Hai, Ai Mi served a problematic dish, but he refuses to take responsibility. He's hiding in the kitchen, unwilling to meet the guest to apologize, and wants me to get security to kick the person out. As a newcomer, he's intentionally throwing his weight around as a senior employee to make things difficult for me. I just happened to discover that he and Meng Yaning are having a secret affair. I never thought about reporting them, yet they want to use a single dish to force me to lose my job, forcing me to offend a Yuehai Restaurant guest...

As Qi Yueling complained, she shed tears, crying in such a pitiful way.

The man on the other end of the line frowned upon receiving the complaint.

Meng Yaning was his sister-in-law, but their family relationship wasn't good enough for him to sacrifice the company's interests.

CEO Hai had tolerated Meng Yaning many times out of face for his wife, not wanting to make relations with her maternal family too rigid.

This incident touched CEO Hai's bottom line.

Qi Yueling, don't panic. This matter isn't your fault. I won't fire you, and I will educate Meng Yaning. Rest assured, the company won't keep such parasites. Please take me to apologize to the guest first; I'll head to the kitchen right now.

Sorry to trouble you, CEO Hai. The guest I am serving has a high status; he drives a porsche Cayenne. I don't know the specific model serial number, but I feel that someone who drives this kind of car cannot be simple. I didn't mean to bother you with this kind of matter; it's just that my status is too low.

You did very well, not concealing the mistake. Once Meng Yaning is gone, the position of team leader will be yours.

Qi Yueling wasn't angry at all in the face of Ai Mi's malicious targeting.

If it weren't for his malicious targeting, Qi Yueling wouldn't have gotten a chance for a promotion.

After Qi Yueling finished her call with CEO Hai, she returned to the private room where An Xin was, still with red eyes, looking as if she had been wronged.

Sorry, sir. I couldn't bring the chef. I didn't expect the chef and Meng Yaning to be together, and I don't know why they would serve unqualified dishes. I'm just a small Waiter, and all I can do is apologize to you on behalf of the Restaurant. I have already notified the president of the Yuehai Restaurant about this matter, and he is on his way here. I told the president about the situation at your table; today's meal is on the house, and we are also gifting you a 30,000 yuan voucher.

Qi Yueling respectfully handed the voucher to An Xin.

This is not your fault, you don't need to have so much mental pressure. I already know the situation.

Zhang Xiaohua, you're amazing. I can let you get your salary early. Are you not busy now? Can you come out and have a meal with me? Let's celebrate your successful work.

Yes, where are we going to eat? I'll take a taxi there.
