Chapter 4: The pit dug by Gu Siyan, retribution from the previous life
As the words fell, the huge kitchen became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
The head chef hesitated whether to speak or not, but was worried that if he spoke carelessly, Gu Siyan would directly fire him and he would lose his job as the head chef of the Gu family. The head chef finally chose to keep quiet.
Qin Bingwu took a breath and said calmly:
"I heard that Mr. Gu only wants his steaks cooked medium-rare, cut into diamond shapes, and between one and one-and-a-half centimeters thick. Furthermore, the steaks must be flown in that same day through a cold chain to ensure the freshest and most exquisite taste. Mr. Gu has so many requirements for just one steak. For an ordinary person like me, I think being picky is a euphemism."
Gu Siyan's face didn't look good. These things were common to him.
"Did he tell you that?"
The head chef standing by was sweating coldly. He looked at Qin Bingwu almost for help, hoping that she would not drag him into the water.
The eldest young master usually doesn't take his anger out on the servants, but the master's preferences are private. If the eldest young master is unhappy, everyone in the kitchen will have to leave.
Qin Bingwu shook her head: "No, it was my father who told me about Mr. Gu's matter."
She didn't believe that Gu Siyan would ask her father.
In her previous life, Qin Ruolan often complained to her family about Gu Siyan's weirdness and cold-bloodedness. Later, when she started her own company and was in the business world, she knew even more.
Her answer made Gu Siyan even more wary of her. Why did the Qin family want to know his preferences?
The man's gloomy voice carried great pressure:
"You have another blunt statement?"
Qin Bingwu opened her mouth, lowered her eyes, and her voice became much softer, as if she was very sorry:
"I...have little education, so I can't think of other adjectives. If the words are not used well and make the young master unhappy, please don't be angry with me."
Gu Siyan's face froze.
This reason cannot be refuted.
If he asked further, it would seem that he had the same opinion as her and was nitpicking.
The man looked away, suppressing his displeasure at being framed.
"Meet Professor Lin tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock."
Qin Bingwu was delighted and raised her eyes instantly, her bright eyes like the stars in the polar night:
"real?"
Gu Siyan said coldly: "Don't be too happy too soon. With your level of education, even if you meet Professor Lin, you may not be able to enter Peking University."
Qin Bingwu didn't mind his cold water and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master. You are so kind."
Gu Siyan's eyes narrowed, and then he turned and left with a cold face. The atmosphere in the entire kitchen did not relax until his figure disappeared.
Qin Bingwu quickly wrote down the time and place of tomorrow's meeting in her diary, and then began to prepare dinner.
All she had to make were the home-cooked dishes she used to make at home, minced meat eggplant and steamed pork ribs, which were soft, tender and fragrant, suitable for the old lady; spicy shredded chicken and double pepper fish head were prepared for the fourth young master; there were also clay pot soup and stir-fried vegetables, which were all salty, sweet, fresh and spicy.
Because she has to work three jobs and still find time to cook, her hands and feet are nimble and quick. Whether she is picking and washing vegetables or cutting and preparing ingredients, the head chef beside her nods repeatedly when he sees her, arranges a set of workbenches for her to use, and then goes about his own business.
The phone rang on the shelf next to her. After washing and drying her hands, Qin Bingwu picked up the phone and took a look.
Qin Ruolan called on video. Qin Bingwu answered the call and saw the word "family" on the screen.
She didn't say anything, but Qin Ruolan spoke first:
"Hey, sister, where are you? Is this the Gu family's house? Why does it look like a kitchen?"
Qin Ruolan had seen the Gu family's kitchen in her previous life, which was exactly like the one behind Qin Bingwu. A look of joy welled up in her eyes, and she knew that the Gu family would not treat Qin Bingwu well.
Thinking back to her previous life, after she got into the Gu family's Rolls-Royce, the driver asked her whether she wanted to live with the old lady in the old house or live alone in a villa. Of course, she didn't want to live with the old lady, so she said she wanted to live in a villa.
She had to take hundreds of photos and selfies of the villa worth 200 million yuan and post them on her Moments to show off.
As a result, the driver paused for a moment and told her that the villa had just been renovated and she needed to stay in the old house for a while.
Qin Ruolan said angrily at the time: "Then you still let me choose?"
Later, when she arrived at the old house, she overheard the eldest son of the Gu family telling Old Madam Gu about her choice, and secretly said that she was unfilial and despised the old lady.
She then realized that the driver's giving her two choices was actually a trap set by Gu Siyan.
Having lost the first good impression she had made in front of the old lady, she was so angry that she saw a boy playing games on the sofa. She thought he was a servant of the Gu family and took it out on him, saying that he was lazy and had no manners and wanted to fire him. However, she didn't expect that the other party was dressed so simply, but he was the fourth young master of the Gu family.
Whose rich kid is wearing street food? He doesn't even have a skin for his game character?
She had offended three members of the Gu family before even meeting them. One can imagine how coldly she was treated after the formal meeting.
After her rebirth, she chose to stay at home without a second thought. According to the timeline, the Qin family would turn around in less than two years and become a listed company in three years. As long as she could survive these two years, the Gu family would be nothing to her in the future.
Qin Ruobing really wanted to know how Qin Bingwu would be treated in the Gu family.
As expected, Qin Ruobing couldn't help feeling happy when she saw the shelves and kitchen utensils behind Qin Bingwu, as well as the chef's hat, mask and apron that Qin Bingwu was wearing.
She said that Qin Bingwu lived a better life than her in her previous life, so don’t even think about it in this life.
Now it seems that Qin Bingwu is even worse off than her.
Ha ha.
Qin Bingwu did not miss the smug look in her sister's eyes, but she didn't intend to explain. If this family of vampires knew how well she was living, wouldn't they cling to her like leeches?
"Well, I'm in the Gu family kitchen, preparing dinner."
The girl's soft voice was heard by Qin Siyue, who came to the kitchen to find something delicious. Holding a chicken leg in his hand, he walked towards the direction of the sound.
He wanted to see if the girl was trying to fool her grandmother.
He had been hiding his identity and studying in an ordinary high school. Few of his classmates from ordinary families could cook. He heard that Qin Bingwu was the youngest in the family, with several brothers and two sisters. Logically, cooking should be the responsibility of the eldest sisters. How could it fall on her?
Hey, if he caught her just washing vegetables and treating them as meals, he would definitely report her to grandma.
People from the Gu family are not so easy to fool.
He walked over, but didn't get close. He could just see Qin Bingwu's back and hear their video chat. He leaned against the wall, gnawing on a chicken leg while waiting.
Qin Ruobing was very surprised when she heard the answer:
"Sister, how could the Gu family treat you like this? In my opinion, they are just treating you like a servant."
Qin Ruobing wanted to make Qin Bingwu dissatisfied with the Gu family, so that as long as Qin Bingwu couldn't bear it and resisted, the Gu family would only become colder and colder towards her.
This is all what Qin Bingwu owed her. It was retribution from her previous life, and she had to pay it back in this life.
Gu Siyue suddenly felt that the chicken leg in his hand was no longer fragrant.
Can you bear this anger?
