Along the way, she was filled with anxious and restless thoughts.
: : : : When I was eating at home, I followed the old saying about health preservation: "Do not talk while eating, do not talk while sleeping."
Luo Xiaoyi sighed inwardly. The atmosphere today was really oppressive. The servants and housekeepers were also very careful, afraid that they would anger their unhappy master and become cannon fodder.
However, despite this, Ou Zihan still lost her temper, "Butler Zhao, what kind of chef did you find? Huh? Call the head chef here!"
"Yes, Young Master Ou, I'll go right away."
Butler Zhao was already trembling with fear. He quickly ran to call the head chef. He had served the Ou family for thirty years and was the most senior. After serving the old master, he served the young master. He was the best at reading the young master's expression. This was the first time he had seen the young master with such a gloomy and irritable expression. He was a little uneasy. What on earth had happened?
He thought to himself, "This has nothing to do with the cook. This cook has been doing this for ten years, and the young master has never said anything bad about the food. So what's going on today?"
Butler Zhao respectfully brought the head chef over. Ou Zihan's face was extremely cold. "Chef Li, how long have you been working here? How old are you?" His voice was icy.
Chef Li said tremblingly, "Young Master, I have worked for the Ou family for ten years and I am 50 years old now."
Ou Zihan spoke in a cold, authoritative tone, like a noble emperor, "Chef Li, I think you're getting old. You can't even cook properly anymore. It's time for you to retire."
Chef Li, who was so old, suddenly knelt down. His voice was choked with sadness as he said, "Young Master Ou, I will cook well, and I will definitely cook better and better. Young Master Ou, I beg you, please don't send me away. I still have a family to support. If I lose my job, my sick daughter will not have money to be treated, and she will die."
As he spoke, Chef Li, an old man with somewhat white hair and a weathered appearance, suddenly burst into tears.
This scene brought a pang of sadness to everyone who witnessed it.
Butler Zhao also began to plead, "Young Master, Chef Li has indeed always been dedicated to the Ou family. He constantly learns culinary techniques from various countries and frequently prepares dishes with different flavors for you. His sincerity is truly commendable. Young Master, please keep him, okay?"
Ou Zihan's cold, ruthless voice resonated in everyone's hearts, "What? Are you all here today to criticize me?"
Butler Zhao broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained, "No, young master, the young master is really good to us. He pretends not to see when we make small mistakes, and he pays us very high wages."
Butler Zhao's words pleased Young Master Ou. "Butler Zhao, let's not get involved in this. If the food isn't cooked well, you should be fired. Our Ou family isn't a charity! No need for further words, everyone please leave now."
Chef Li stood up from the ground in despair. He was hunched over and walked out with heavy steps. His back looked so weathered and sorrowful, and he kept wiping away tears.
Luo Xiaoyi had never received fatherly love before, and seeing her father who loved his daughter so much today made her feel inexplicably bitter.
This scene made Luo Xiaoyi feel a little heartbroken. She looked at Ou Zihan with a cold gaze. She felt that this man in front of her was so heartless. He had worked hard for the Ou family. How could he drive her away so easily?
"President Ou, could you please keep Chef Li for my sake?" Her voice was somewhat cold; she hated such heartless and ungrateful people.
Upon hearing that the hostess had actually pleaded for him, Chef Li felt a surge of warmth in his heart. It seemed there was still hope of staying today. He stopped and turned to look at Young Master Ou.
Ou Zihan glanced at her, his expression still cold, and said in a provocative tone, "Your face? You know what? I never care about anyone's face, I only talk about conditions."
Luo Xiaoyi met his provocative gaze. She bit her lip, her voice cold and resolute, "Fine, as long as you can keep him here, name your terms."
