Chapter 141 – A Forced Apology (2)

Gu Shishi received the message from Butler Lin while she was heading into the studio for work.

Miss Li came to visit with her father and even brought gifts with them.

Butler Lin added that he didn’t know the purpose of the visit.

Gu Shishi couldn’t help but think about the wine that she had spilled on her.

Brought her gifts?

Whatever had happened to Miss Li?

She checked the system’s interface and didn’t notice any increase in fondness.

The system has proven to be somewhat useful after all. She didn’t even need to see her face to face to see that this Miss Li’s visit wasn’t all that sincere.

She forgot about this incident immediately.

She spent all day at work, taught three classes, and didn’t have time to relax even after she had gone home.

The first thing she did was to go talk to Mr. Chef in the dining room.

“For medium, 3.5 minutes each side for sirloin and tenderloin. Skirt steak, 4 minutes each side. The meat should feel elastic when you press down on it and still pink in the center… for medium well, 4.5 minutes on each side for sirloin and tenderloin…”

Gu Shishi asked questions and took notes the entire time.

“Mr. Chef, what do you think of this stock that I have made? I followed your instructions to the ‘T’, but I feel that it is still a little bit off.”

She combined that with hands-on learning to bring her level up.

While she was busying herself in the kitchen, the chef continued to point out some of her issues to her.

“The timing of the onion is off. That won’t help in increasing its sweetness…”

After one round, Gu Shishi was already drenched in sweat.

As much as there was air-conditioning, it was still very hot in the kitchen standing next to the stove.”

“Just following my instructions for the menu next week.” Mr. Chef was a little bit worried as well. “If Mr. Huo doesn’t like it and does not eat a lot, you let me know.”

“Okay.” Gu Shishi, too, was a little bit worried.She acknowledged, but did not slack off. “I will make another pot of stock tonight. We can use them tomorrow.”

Mr. Chef agreed to that right away.

As soon as Gu Shishi picked up the knife and started slicing up the vegetables, she heard Butler Lin’s voice behind her.

“Miss Gu, Mr. Li and Miss Li are here.”

They had said that they would return tonight.

Gu Shishi did not object to it this morning when she received the message from the butler.

Which was why the Li’s father and daughter were brought inside the mansion at night, instead of being blocked on the outside.

Gu Shishi turned around. Sure enough, she saw that red wine girl from the banquet who gave her that fake smile.

She ruined her ball gown that cost over ten thousand yuan and then was stupid enough to follow her out of the club to yell at her.

Seeing her again today, she looked just the same as she did the other day. The smile was so fake that not even her eyes were smiling.

“Niece Gu, you might not know who I am but I have always worked with your dad in business and we had played in the mountains back when we were kids as well.” Li Chengzheng was much more experienced and his smile was very friendly. A few words and he had successfully shorted the distance between them. “You can call me Uncle Li.”

Gu Shishi smiled. Gu Shishi didn’t want to be rude to someone who was friendly.

“Hi, Uncle Li.”

“I brought Xiao Ru here to apologize to you today. I heard that she had given you a hard time at the Chen’s banquet. She is the daughter that my wife and I had when we were up there in age. We have spoiled her too much.”

Li Chengzheng apologized right away and completely put aside his status as the older generation.

“Dad!” Li Yiru cried out; her colors changed.
