The meal was very enjoyable.
Zhou Yue was a little doubtful: "Manager Tian, why do you look so good? Are you sick? Or are you tired these days?"
Manager Tian also knew what was going on during this period. The person who used to care about everything suddenly asked to increase his workload. He took over all the safety work that Captain Shen was originally in charge of, and worked overtime every night.
It's a stable job within the system, why are you working so hard? Manager Tian is saying that if you want to get promoted, you just want to slack off?
Tian Hao's voice was a little hoarse: "It's okay, let's eat."
But there were two dishes in total, and he didn't seem to eat much.
Zhou Yue said "oh" and talked about Lin Cuiping again: "I never thought that Manager Lin and Chef Song were dating. I remember she and you..."
He stopped talking halfway and changed the subject abruptly: "Speaking of which, the two of them are quite a good match. One is responsible for management and the other is responsible for the kitchen. With the two of them, it will be difficult for Boss Xie to expand his business."
In the past, they all thought that Manager Lin and Manager Tian were a couple. After all, when Lin Cuiping was still in the project cafeteria, the two were almost inseparable. Everyone spread the rumor that Manager Lin was Tian Hao's girlfriend, and Tian Hao accepted it all.
Unexpectedly, the person who ended up with Manager Lin was Chef Song!
Tian Hao pursed his lips tightly, but his tone seemed nonchalant: "Maybe."
Seeing that Tian Hao was concerned, Zhou Yue also relaxed a little: "Manager Lin is actually quite pretty. I wonder why she even came to the project cafeteria recently. It turns out that they are dating. Haha, work is not as important as a boyfriend!"
Tian Hao's expression was as cold as ice: "She will value men more than her work."
"Ah?" Zhou Yue was just joking, but he didn't expect Tian Hao to take it so seriously. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
The meal lasted half an hour, and Zhou Yue had almost eaten all the Eight Treasure Duck. Tian Hao had hardly eaten anything, but he just sat there and didn't say anything about leaving.
Finally, Zhou Yue held back and said, "Manager Tian, work starts at 2 pm. Shall we go back now?"
Tian Hao then hummed, stood up with his coat and said, "Go check out."
Zhou Yue found that Manager Tian was a bit strange. He was going to eat in the cafeteria today, but Manager Tian said he would drive him here to eat the signature dishes. Why would he invite him to dinner for no reason?
Probably because the meal took too long, there were more people in the restaurant at this time.
Tingting and Manman were sitting at the counter chatting: "Manager Lin said she would treat us to dinner tonight to celebrate her and Chef Song's official relationship. Does that mean Chef Song will cook the meal himself?"
"I really want to eat that dish called Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. It costs 88 yuan!"
"Don't worry, Chef Song will definitely do it. Do you know how good he is to Manager Lin?"
"Manager Lin should be here soon. She said yesterday that she would go to the new hotel to check out the decoration this afternoon."
Tian Hao took the money and said, "Pay the bill."
Tingting stood up quickly: "It's fifteen dollars in total."
But after paying the bill, Tian Hao showed no intention of leaving: "Have a cup of tea before you leave."
Whether it was a guest or a friend of Manager Lin, they could always be driven away, so Tingting had no choice but to get another cup of tea from the thermos.
Zhou Yue hesitated to speak. Should he leave now or not?
But it didn't take long before Lin Cuiping came in from outside with a few candies in her hand. She threw them over and said, "Song Shanchuan bought these. They are all imported candies. Go and have some."
Tingting screamed: "Long live Manager Lin, long live Chef Song!"
Tian Hao looked in the direction of the voice, and Lin Cuiping seemed particularly beautiful that day.
She wore a red dress, a silk scarf around her neck, and half her curly hair was pulled up, revealing two large earrings. She was as fashionable as a character in a movie poster.
He looked behind her again, but didn't see Song Shanchuan. He heaved a sigh of relief for some reason, with a hint of a smile on his face: "Why is there no candy for you?"
Lin Cuiping turned around and said, "Tian Hao, why are you here?"
Tian Hao looked at her steadily: "Come to dinner, are you welcome?"
Lin Cuiping chuckled and said, "You are welcome to come and spend money! But if you tell me in advance, you can get a free meal."
She looked so natural, that was really the attitude she would have towards a friend.
Tian Hao pursed his lips and said, "How was it today? Did he give you enough face?"
Those women in Tonglou love to gossip. He had experienced it before and also supported them before.
Lin Cuiping shook her long head, her face full of pride: "You didn't see it, Aunt Chen's eyes are about to fall out! Shanchuan is the national chef champion, and he has been on TV. They are almost jealous to death, hahaha!"
She still smiled carefreely, as bright as the sun.
Tian Hao also curled his lips following hers: "Very good."
Lin Cuiping now completely regards Tian Hao as a friend. After confirming her relationship with Song Shanchuan, she said to Tian Hao at ease: "You have paid the bill, right? This meal is for you. Remember to make a big red when you get married."
Tian Hao didn't respond to her question: "Are you going to treat us tonight?"
"Hey, how did you know?" Lin Cuiping blinked. She did say that she would invite two waiters and a chef from the hotel to dinner in the evening. Because Song Shanchuan didn't have many friends and had the best relationship with his two little apprentices, she wanted to have a meal together.
Tian Hao put one hand in his pocket and squeezed it gently: "Since we are friends, why are you treating me?"
Lin Cuiping sighed: "Tian Hao, how come you have learned to take advantage of others? It was my family Shanchuan who cooked for me personally last night!"
Tian Hao just looked at her and asked, "Would you please go?"
"Come on. Xie Yunshu and Shen Subai are here anyway, so it'll be more lively with more people." Lin Cuiping didn't care. Apart from that little episode, Tian Hao was a very good friend, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to treat him to a meal.
Tian Hao hummed: "Okay, come over in the evening."
Lin Cuiping shrugged her shoulders: "The menu hasn't been decided yet. We must make Dragons and Phoenixes and Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. Shanchuan has already gone to buy the ingredients. For the rest, each of you can order one dish."
Tingting and Manman cheered: "We want to eat braised pork and braised prawns!"
Lin Cuiping laughed and scolded, "I'll make you two jealous to death!"
Two young chefs also poked their heads out of the kitchen: "Let's order some vegetarian dishes, mapo tofu and dried shrimps and rapeseed."
Lin Cuiping looked at Tian Hao: "What do you want to eat?"
Tian Hao asked her back: "You should know what you like to eat, right?"
When they were pretending to be in a relationship, they often ate together. Even when they ate in the project department cafeteria, she knew his taste very well.
Lin Cuiping was puzzled by his question, but she still responded casually: "Okay, just come over after work in the evening, just a few of us."
