Chapter 379 Human Nature

"Junior sister, are you going to the rematch soon? The rematch location is not in Jiangcheng?" Wan Yuyue asked immediately.

"The specific time hasn't been announced yet, but the assistant said that after the semi-finals, the next match will be in Tuancheng. I want to arrange things in the store in advance."

"Tsk tsk, he even told you this specifically. This shows his confidence in your advancement. When you go to Tuancheng, remember to get He Xi's autograph for me!"

"I was the one who asked him. How could he give instructions specifically to me? When I'm gone, you just need to listen to Senior Brother Yun's arrangements and do whatever he says. Senior Brother Nie, if you have any needs, just tell him." Zhao Xiaojing stretched her neck and explained to Nie Xiuqi.

Nie Xiuqi has been in the restaurant for some time, but due to his personality, he has never been familiar with other people in the restaurant. However, in the kitchen, his relationship with the other three chefs has made great progress.

Specifically, Zhao Xiaojing can guess his ventriloquism based on his behavior and expression, Wan Yuyue has a strong ability to harass him and will talk to him regardless of whether he responds or not, and Yun Yongyuan is moderate, he is not a stubborn person and does not force a conversation, but he is open-minded and accompanies him silently, so the relationship between the four can be considered harmonious.

"Yeah." Nie Xiuqi responded briefly, indicating that he understood.

"Are you sure it's me?" Yun Yongyuan seemed very surprised. He looked at Zhao Xiaojing, then at Wan Yuyue, and turned to look at Nie Xiuqi's usually expressionless face. He seemed to find it hard to believe that the three of them looked as if it was a matter of course.

"If not you, then who else? Do you think I dare to hand this matter over to Senior Sister Wan?" Zhao Xiaojing was puzzled by the question.

"See, I told you that you are biased. Can I really burn down your kitchen?" Wan Yuyue retorted while laughing unconsciously.

"But I, I..." Yun Yongyuan frowned, as if he was having a hard time thinking.

Zhao Xiaojing and Wan Yuyue looked at him eagerly, waiting for what to say next.

"I can't." Yun Yongyuan said dryly.

"No? Why not?" Wan Yuyue was puzzled.

"Why do you say that? Is there any inconvenience?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.

"No... I... I'm not as good as Senior Brother Nie, nor as smart as Junior Sister Wan, nor as talented as Junior Sister Zhao. I can't do anything well! I've practiced the Explosive Double Crisp for a month, but it's still not as good as Junior Sister Zhao's first time. Junior Sister Wan only did it a few times, but she did better than me. I'm at the bottom, I can't do it!" Yun Yongyuan gritted his teeth and said in one breath as if he had made a great determination.

"Huh? Are you possessed?" Wan Yuyue tilted her head and stared at Yun Yongyuan closely.

Zhao Xiaojing pondered for a few seconds, staring at Yun Yongyuan for a moment, then glanced at Wan Yuyue. "But even though Senior Sister Wan is better than you after just a few times, she might not improve even if she does it hundreds of times."

"No?! Junior sister, you!! If you want to comfort him, then comfort him. Why do you poke me in the spine? You have to praise someone and then step on him?!" Wan Yuyue immediately went crazy.

Yun Yongyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhao Xiaojing blankly. Zhao Xiaojing drooped her eyelids, and when she raised them again, she looked at Yun Yongyuan with a very firm gaze.

"But Brother Yun, you're different. If you do it a few hundred times, it will definitely be better than the first time, and each time it will be more solid. Over time, your results may be the same, but your accumulation over and over again will definitely be more stable. But I, Senior Sister, will have to go with the flow."

Yun Yongyuan didn't say anything, but glanced quickly at Wan Yuyue, who squinted at Zhao Xiaojing with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"What I mean by going with the flow is that when things are going well, you perform exceptionally well, and when things are going badly, it's a mess. Am I wrong, Senior Sister?" Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and blinked innocently. Seeing that Wan Yuyue was choked by her and was speechless, she coughed twice and continued.

"So everyone's path is different. You say Senior Brother Nie is better than you, but Senior Brother Nie has worked in seven or eight restaurants over the years, and was fired by the boss in almost every one of them. He didn't stay long in any of them. Even here, where we're all young and the environment is relatively friendly, I've heard Sister Geng scold two little girls, telling them not to gossip about Senior Brother Nie. Senior Brother Nie himself only speaks a few words when we're cooking, and I'm afraid he doesn't even know the names of the other people in the restaurant.

This is all due to Senior Brother Nie's personality, but it also stems from his excellence. He looks inward, discarding external things. "With every advantage comes a disadvantage."

Wan Yuyue had been deliberately rolling her eyes at Zhao Xiaojing, but when she heard her change the subject and even bring up Nie Xiuqi, she couldn't help but take a deep breath in an exaggerated manner. Her eyes quickly turned towards Nie Xiuqi, only to see that Nie Xiuqi had also stopped what he was doing. Although he wasn't looking at her, he was listening very attentively.

"So you said you were at the bottom. What bottom did you mean? Are you not good at interpersonal communication and can't handle the big and small matters dealing with the people in the store, or are you unable to settle down and practice your cooking skills steadily?" Zhao Xiaojing raised an eyebrow and asked back.

Yun Yongyuan was momentarily at a loss for words when asked this. He simply looked at Wan Yuyue, then at Nie Xiuqi, feeling rather uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Wan Yuyue rolled her eyes and looked at Yun Yongyuan with suspicion, "Senior Brother Yun, you have been acting so strangely lately, is your mind full of this kind of thing?"

Yun Yongyuan froze, his whole face turned red, and he lowered his head guiltily.

"Is it really because of these messy things?!" Wan Yuyue was disgusted and surprised. She leaned back and looked at Zhao Xiaojing speechlessly.

She originally wanted to find a sense of identity and complain about Yun Yongyuan together, but Zhao Xiaojing just crossed her arms and looked back at her calmly.

"Why are you so calm? Don't you think he's crazy?"

"It's human nature." Zhao Xiaojing sighed.

Although I didn't know what was going on with Yun Yongyuan before, but when he just said that he was not good at anything, and thinking about what happened in the past few days, I understood his mental journey.

The previous kitchen trio had been very stable. As the boss, Zhao Xiaojing's cooking skills were inherently better than theirs. Although her progress always shocked the two, there was a gap between her and their initial culinary skills. Furthermore, she admired Qiang and naturally hoped that the boss's cooking skills would be even better. Therefore, even if this progress was discouraging, because it was Zhao Xiaojing, it wouldn't really affect Yun Yongyuan's mentality.

But Wan Yuyue was different. She started cooking a little later than Yun Yongyuan, and her skills were sometimes good and sometimes bad. While they were great, they were too unstable and difficult to control, so she had always been a little behind Yun Yongyuan. So when Wan Yuyue's skills suddenly and inexplicably stabilized, even surpassing Yun Yongyuan's, and getting better and better, Yun Yongyuan began to feel anxious.
