Chapter 461 What tree did the flower grow on?

Su Chen took a half step back.

His eyes slowly moved down from Fang Fang’s gorgeous hair to her heavy smoky makeup. He hesitated for a moment and asked, “Who are you?”

“Oh, I’m the one who made the reservation! My name on the software is Carnivore!”

Fang Fang introduced herself very quickly, as if she was afraid that Su Chen couldn’t hear clearly.

After saying that, he quickly added: “Boss Su, you have to be familiar with me~”

Hearing this, Su Chen almost couldn’t hold it together, and it took him a lot of effort to keep his expression steady.

With this hairstyle and this outfit, once you see it once, you will never forget it in your life, right? ?

Su Chen turned his head and glanced at the trio in front of him.

Hong Yucheng in a suit and leather shoes, Hu Yuan in a Tang suit and cloth shoes, and Fang Fang in a peculiar outfit…

When these three people stood together, Su Chen suddenly complained in his heart: Your painting styles are all different…

Yang Lin hurriedly followed from the side, glanced at Su Chen calmly, feeling extremely puzzled.

His brain was working rapidly, and his eyes looked back and forth at Su Chen, trying to find some clues from him to confirm his guess about his identity.

The young man in front of him looked to be in his early twenties and did not have the aura that a CEO of a listed company would have.

But Hong Yucheng and Hu Yuan treated him with great enthusiasm, which really puzzled Yang Lin.

Could it be that he is some wealthy heir who is deliberately keeping a low profile?
Yang Lin kept guessing in his mind, giving Su Chen various identities, otherwise he really couldn’t find a reasonable reason to explain their enthusiastic attitude.

Hu Yuan glanced at Yang Lin calmly.

Although Yang Lin still had a smile on his face, the confusion in his eyes could not be concealed at all.

He secretly laughed in his heart, and he also understood that Yang Lin must be full of questions at this moment.

Since Boss Su had already arrived, Hu Yuan felt that there was no need to keep him in suspense, so he said directly: “Yang Lin, this is the Chef Su I told you about yesterday. He will be in charge of cooking today’s meal.”

When Yang Lin heard this, his eyes widened little by little.

He looked at Su Chen in disbelief. His face was too young and he didn’t look like the kind of chef that Hu Yuan valued so much.

He turned his gaze to Hu Yuan again, trying to find any sign of a joke on the other’s face.

However, what caught the eye was Hu Yuan’s extremely serious expression, without the slightest hint of joking or teasing.

“Brother Hu, are you…joking?”

Yang Lin asked again subconsciously.

“of course not.”

Hu Yuan looked calm and spoke in a steady tone.

Yang Lin felt his ears buzzing and his breathing became heavier.

He looked at Su Chen again, somewhat excited, and said word by word in a questioning tone, “Is this the Master Su you were talking about?”

Yang Lin deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word “old” and his eyes swept back and forth between Su Chen’s young face and Hu Yuan.

Hu Yuan couldn’t remain calm anymore and quickly denied, “I never said that about Master Su! Think about it carefully, have I always been talking about Master Su?”

Yang Lin stood there in a daze, recalling what Hu Yuan had said before. He indeed remembered that Hu Yuan used the name “Master Su” throughout the whole process and never mentioned the word “old” from beginning to end.

It seems that I was wishful thinking that he was a master with superb skills.

“You are indeed…” Yang Lin was about to open his mouth to admit his misunderstanding, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly reacted.

No, is that the point?

The key to the problem does not lie in whether the other party is a “veteran” or not, and what does his age have to do with it?

What really made him hard to accept was that Hu Yuan would rather choose to trust the young man’s craftsmanship, but lacked sufficient trust in himself as a professional chef who was an outstanding graduate of Le Cordon Bleu.

This feeling of being ignored and questioned penetrated deeply into Yang Lin’s heart, making him feel so uncomfortable that he couldn’t breathe.

Since the restaurant opened, Yang Lin has devoted himself to his work every day, working up to 14 hours a day with almost no rest.

He personally and strictly controls every dish from ingredient selection to cooking to serving, striving to achieve perfection.

He clearly remembers the satisfied smile on Hu Yuan’s face when he first tasted the new dish he developed, and the scene where guests raved about Wutong Restaurant’s dishes.

However, at this moment, these memories seem to be shrouded in a layer of haze.

In fact, Yang Lin has always been grateful to Hu Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

In today’s highly competitive and inward-looking catering industry, it is not easy to gain a foothold.

From the initial signing of the contract to the step-by-step preparations for the restaurant’s opening, Hu Yuan always gave him great support.

Whether it was venue layout, food procurement, or staff recruitment, we agreed to almost all of his ideas about the restaurant and did our best to turn them into reality.

It can be said that without Hu Yuan’s support, there would be no Wutong Restaurant today.

But even so, Yang Lin couldn’t suppress the loss and grievance in his heart at this moment. He really couldn’t accept that Hu Yuan showed a higher level of trust in someone with less experience than in himself.

The lines from a palace fighting TV drama that his wife watched at home a few days ago suddenly flashed through Yang Lin’s mind.

“It was a wrong decision after all…”

Seeing Yang Lin suddenly become dazed, a melancholy and sad expression appeared on the face of the grown man.

“Xiao Yang…”

Hu Yuan tried to comfort him, “Don’t think too much, Boss Su’s craftsmanship is indeed impeccable.”

“I didn’t lie to you. Boss Su did reject many offers from elites.”

Hu Yuan continued to explain, hoping that through these facts Yang Lin would understand that Su Chen was no ordinary person.

Hearing this, the corners of Yang Lin’s mouth twitched involuntarily, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart. He really wanted to say: Him?

He is so young. Even if he has been holding a spatula since birth, how capable can he be?
That’s ridiculous!
“Well, Mr. Hu is right. I will testify to that.”

Hong Yucheng, who had been standing aside, interrupted at the right time with a serious look on his face, “I also proposed to give Boss Su a few million investment to let him open his own store, but was also rejected.”

Fang Fang looked left and right. Although she didn’t know what was going on, when she heard Hong Yucheng and Hu Yuan praising Boss Su so much, she felt that she should say something.

She suddenly put her hands on her hips and shouted, “Boss Su is awesome! Boss Su is awesome!”

After she finished shouting, she asked in confusion, “Is there any new rule in the fan club that I don’t know about? Do we have to praise Boss Su before eating?”

Su Chen stood there in a daze the whole time.

What kind of tree is this flower growing on???
