"Li Yong, yes, it's you, Li Yong!" Ren Jialun stared intently at Li Yong, gritting his teeth as he scolded, "Didn't you say your cooking skills are from the same lineage as Zhang Dezhen of Xu's Catering? Then why are customers willing to pay extra for plating rather than eat your braised food?! Ah!"
You're nothing but a show-off! You're nothing! You don't deserve to be in the Splendid Hotel! You're a joke! A joke!
The last few words were less a scolding of Li Yong and more a scolding of himself—a scolding for overestimating his own abilities, for misjudging people, and for acting too hastily.
But Li Yong was unaware that Ren Jialun had been removed from his supervisor position. All he knew was that he had been publicly humiliated and rendered worthless.
Li Yong was never one to take things lying down. After a moment of stunned silence, he immediately roared back, "Ren Jialun, you bastard, what are you saying? Huh, what are you saying! Say it again if you dare!"
You were the one who begged me to come here in the first place. If you hadn't come to me again and again, giving me money and people whenever you asked, I wouldn't have bothered coming here.
As he spoke, Li Yong took off his chef's hat and tore off his chef's uniform, crumpled it into a ball in his hand, and walked straight up to Ren Jialun. The distance between the two was shortened to almost nose to nose, and Li Yong forced out a sentence through his teeth.
"Listen to me, I, Li Yong, am quitting!"
After saying this, Li Yong threw the crumpled clothes in his hand onto the ground, stepped out of the kitchen, and strode away.
From the moment Ren Jialun entered the kitchen and began shouting angrily to Li Yong storming off, only two minutes had passed. Before anyone could even process what had happened, the whole series of events had ended, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What are you looking at! Don't you have any work to do?! All the ingredients for tonight are ready! Ah! Ah!"
After uttering his last harsh words with barely enough strength, Ren Jialun stormed out of the room, leaving behind this place that he felt utterly humiliated.
