Chapter 3
As he spoke, Shen Yuntang sighed.
It's so tiring to travel to this damn place. In the past, she could just ask the person who loved her the most to solve the problem, but now she has to do it herself.
Shen Yuntang was not very happy, and someone had to bear the consequences for her mood.
Ji Liang's expression kept changing, and the housekeeper also looked very excited. Shen Yuntang knew that this was definitely not an isolated case.
It's easy to figure out how many people would not complain about the original owner's behavior, and she couldn't find all the people who were dissatisfied with "her".
But we can catch those who can't control their mouths.
If you can't even control your mouth, it will be difficult to control other things.
She was too lazy to spend the energy to wait for these people to change their views of her. Shen Yuntang's idea was simple: if you are dissatisfied, leave. Don't complain here and be reluctant to give up your high salary. It's good for both you and me.
Ji Liang remained silent, but the housekeeper began to tremble with fear.
There is probably not a single person in the Huo family who truly respects Shen Yuntang. If this matter is really to be dealt with, I guess all of them will have to be fired.
He just followed Mr. Huo's orders to take good care of her, and never showed any dissatisfaction in his heart.
But those who don't have as much self-control as him say all kinds of nasty things behind his back.
It was not until Shen Yuntang mentioned this that the housekeeper reacted - yes, if she really couldn't accept it, she could just resign!
Those who stayed while cursing were just reluctant to give up the high salary offered by the Huo family.
Except for Shen Yuntang who was a little difficult to serve, the work at the Huo's house could be said to be easy and rewarding. They were already getting salaries far higher than what they paid, but they still cursed their employer for not making their work easy enough.
The housekeeper thought about his monthly salary of 100,000 yuan with fear and thought that Shen Yuntang's temper was nothing, he could handle ten of them.
Besides, doesn’t Miss Shen look like...she’s starting to change?
No more fresh milk, a permanent chef has been hired, and all the messy rules from the past have been eliminated. The future looks bright.
The butler figured this out and immediately said seriously: "I will go and make a list of this part."
Ji Liang wanted to say something, but after thinking about the deputy chef's expression, he fell silent again. Finally, he nodded and said goodbye to Shen Yuntang.
Not exposing him was already his last act of mercy, not to mention speaking up for that idiot in front of his mentor.
People always have to learn to pay the price for their actions.
After he returned to the kitchen, the deputy chef couldn't hide his gloating face and asked him, "Chef Ji, what did she say to you? Did she pay for your trip home?"
Ji Liang glanced at him, sneered, and went back to the kitchen sink to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
The assistant chef was ignored by him, and he couldn't vent his pride. He continued to squeeze him, "You're leaving soon, so you don't have to do the work, right? Leave it to me, I'll help you."
Before he finished speaking, the butler came in with a few people.
He said to the assistant chef, "Come with me to settle the wages. You don't have to come tomorrow."
The sous chef's mouth was still open, his eyes wide.
"Why? On what grounds? What's wrong with me? I'm doing well in this position, why are you firing me?"
"The Huo family does not welcome people without professional ethics." The housekeeper said, "Oh, by the way, Chef Ji will be the long-term chef of the Huo family in the future."
The deputy chef turned around in disbelief, only to see Ji Liang looking at him coldly.
Now he is the one being laughed at.
…
After the assistant chef was asked to leave, Ji Liang thought of something and said to the housekeeper: "He may have a tendency to domestic violence. Can you please pay attention to him in the future?"
The housekeeper touched his head and said, "He doesn't have a wife either."
Ji Liang: "......?"
Since no one thinks highly of him, he starts to fantasize about how to show off his power as the head of the family?
It's really Pu Que Xin.
Miss Shen was right to fire him.
After receiving the report from the housekeeper, Shen Yuntang took a quick look at it and put it aside.
A total of five people who often cursed her in private were found out. From now on, the Huo residence will at least be a little quieter.
Next she has to worry about environmental transformation.
So annoying.
Shen Yuntang sighed again.
I miss my family from my previous life so much.
If her brother were here, he would definitely not let her do it herself and would have prepared everything long ago.
And now she can't even live a comfortable life.
Shen Yuntang felt wronged.
The Huo residence is decorated in retro Hong Kong style everywhere, except for the master bedroom, which is decorated in a pure gold palace style.
I wonder how much time she will have to spend on maintenance after this renovation.
If you are too tired, your skin will become worse.
Speaking of skin, she thought of customizing essential oils. Without good essential oils, she couldn't even take a bath.
Shen Yuntang touched her extremely smooth face lovingly and asked the housekeeper on the inside line: "Why hasn't the essential oil been delivered yet?"
Butler: “…” It’s only been two hours.
Butler: "Please wait a moment. I have already made an appointment with a master who makes essential oils. They will be delivered as soon as possible."
"That's good. I'm quite picky about essential oils. Bring a few samples over so I can see if they pass the test."
“…Okay, okay.”
After his change of mind in the morning, the housekeeper became very efficient and quickly found a batch of the master's previous works for Shen Yuntang.
He thought Shen Yuntang was just being picky as usual and just wanted to show off, but he didn't expect Shen Yuntang to be so picky.
"Where is the raw material produced?" She looked at the bottle and frowned. "This flower can be found in South America and Southeast Asia, so why is there no latitude and longitude label for the origin?"
"What about the picking time? Morning or afternoon?"
"What is the temperature and number of seconds for extraction?"
At the end, we even asked about the master's mood when making essential oils, and how many times he washed his hands a day.
Housekeeper: “…” I can’t answer.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuntang was so meticulous and professional that the housekeeper couldn't handle it and had to call the master's assistant.
"Hello? Butler Li, why are you calling again?"
The assistant lowered his voice and said, "I am accompanying Master Charles to attend a fragrance tasting meeting. It has been a long time since any of the master's disciples have produced a work that satisfies him. The master is in a bad mood now. Tell me if you have anything to say."
The housekeeper thought, what a coincidence, my employer is also in a bad mood.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Do you know where the raw materials for the essential oils sent here are picked?"
The assistant was stunned. "South America, what's wrong?"
"Can you give me the exact longitude and latitude?"
assistant:"……"
Assistant: "Butler Li, are you deliberately finding fault?"
Butler Li was wronged, and said stubbornly: "It's not me who picked it, I don't know anything about these things, it's Miss Shen who asked!"
The assistant was suspicious: "What else did she ask?"
Butler Li repeated: "Is the picking time in the morning or afternoon?"
“…”
"What is the temperature and number of seconds for extraction?"
“…”
"Were you in a good mood when you made the essential oils, Master? How many times did you wash your hands?"
"..." The assistant couldn't help but said, "I really can't answer this. Please ask her to find another expert."
Butler Li knew this would be the result and helplessly waited for him to hang up. However, an elderly but energetic voice interrupted the assistant.
"What's wrong? Who is talking to you?"
The assistant turned around and saw Master Charles coming, and quickly put on an awkward smile, "Master, it's a customer."
Charles put his hands behind his back with great interest, "Who can make you say that you should look for another expert? Is this customer not satisfied with our essential oils?"
The assistant and Butler Li were both extremely embarrassed. Only Charles was still in high spirits. He continued, "What suggestions did the guest make?"
The assistant was silent for a moment, then carefully repeated Shen Yuntang's question.
Charles became more and more interested as he listened, and finally burst into laughter.
"It's my fault for not satisfying the customer. What else could the customer ask for? I'll make her a brand new bottle of essential oil myself."
Assistant: "...Okay, okay, I'll give you the contact information right away."
Butler Li didn't expect this to happen and was stunned.
Master Charles's works are hard to come by, and even some of his disciples can be called the new generation of masters. What he meant by pre-ordering master works was just to find someone from Charles' descendants to customize them.
But he never expected that Charles would do it himself.
After hanging up the phone, he heard Shen Yuntang asking inside: "Who is Charles? Someone added me here. Is it the after-sales customer service?"
Butler Li was startled and hurried in and said, "This is Master Charles, the founder of the world's top essential oil brand, who has retired. He heard that you are interested in essential oils and wanted to ask what kind of products you want."
Shen Yuntang finished typing on her phone before looking up at him. It was hard to describe: "It's too late."
Butler Li: “?”
Shen Yuntang: "I've already called him for customer service."
“…”
However, Master Charles didn't seem to care about it and was even very curious about it.
[Ms. Shen, what are your thoughts on the products you ordered? ]
Since you're asking this, Shen Yuntang has something to say. Without blinking, she wrote out her request in one breath, a full 4,000 words, and she couldn't finish it even if she made a few strokes.
In the real world, there is only one person who can meet her requirements. Other masters claim that they can satisfy everyone's imagination, but they all run away overnight after seeing her requirements.
What she didn't expect was that Master Charles actually read it word by word using a translator and gave her a reply half an hour later.
"I can make it as Miss Shen requested."
Unexpectedly, the person who happened to be here turned out to be Shen Yuntang.
She blinked, then saw the master and said, "I wonder if Miss Shen is interested in participating in our fragrance tasting?"
She had no objection to this and told him, "Okay."
After she finished communicating with Charles, she looked up at the nervous butler.
"Ms. Shen, have you finished your chat with the master?"
Butler Li was extremely nervous, fearing that Shen Yuntang would say something to anger the master again.
However, Shen Yuntang nodded and said, "He said it can be made. By the way, he invited me to attend a fragrance tasting party, so remember to prepare."
"Okay, the Fragrance Appreciation Club, right..." Butler Li agreed, then was stunned. What, the Fragrance Appreciation Club?
A fragrance tasting party by Master Charles’ family?
Isn't that... a ticket that many celebrities have difficulty getting?
Butler Li was stunned.
He looked at Shen Yuntang who was unmoved and very calm. He just had a chat with the master and got the invitation from the master?
Butler Li suddenly felt that Miss Shen was really different from before.
He didn't know what caused this change.
But he suddenly felt that he must tell his master about this.
While there was no one around, Butler Li called Huo Yuyan.
"Hello, sir?"
The person on the other end responded calmly.
Butler Li considered his words carefully and asked, "Madam seems to have changed recently?"
Huo Yuyan didn't even frown. He put the phone aside and continued to sign the document. His handwriting was sharp and majestic. "Yes."
Obviously, he had heard this beginning countless times and didn't care what happened to Shen Yuntang.
Anyway, he and Shen Yuntang are not a normal couple, so the best thing is that they can live in peace.
Butler Li's mouth suddenly became dry, and he didn't know how to explain it clearly, "Madam is really different this time, like she has become a different person, and... she doesn't like fresh milk anymore."
"So does she like flower petals or essential oils?" Huo Yuyan remained calm and indifferent. He was very used to her mood swings.
"...I do like essential oils, but! Sir, this time it's really different, the lady and Cha——"
There was a knock on the office door and someone came in. Huo Yuyan interrupted him and hung up the phone.
Butler Li: “…”
Hanging up the phone helplessly, the housekeeper raised his eyes and saw Huo Xihuai standing in the corner of the corridor.
This elusive young man was watching him quietly, like a soul. He had no idea how much he had heard.
