The supervisor's smile stiffened for a moment. Yu Yi didn't say anything and immediately walked past them.
"CEO Yu, the restaurant manager is in the middle of an interview. If you need anything, you can command me directly!" The supervisor had scuttled behind Yu Yi and Luo Hao, but these two men's long legs were too long for her; she was practically jogging to keep pace with them.
"Exchange the dessert plates and teacup saucers for the new, custom Provence set. Change the tablecloths to a pale yellow set. " Yu Yi's voice was ice-cold, his words coming out flat and emotionless as he spoke. He was simply bossing people around.
"Got it!" the supervisor replied somewhat frantically.
"Make the inner lighting slightly softer. This painting, change it. "
The supervisor glanced at the painting on the wall. Although she didn't know what about it that made CEO Yu displeased, whatever CEO Yu said was no good, was no good!
Seeing Yu Yi turn the corner ahead of her, her footsteps flew across the ground to catch up. Her face was all smiles as she asked, "CEO Yu, the CEO office has already been set up. Do you want to look at it?"
Although he knew that the CEO office was already set up, CEO Yu might not even enter it twice in one year. She still, however, retained a bit of her childlike fantasy.
Yu Yi's footsteps paused slightly. He stopped to ask her, "What position is being interviewed for today?"
The abrupt question made the supervisor somewhat overwhelmed by her superior's favor. She looked at Yu Yi's handsome, flawless face and nearly forgot to reply. "West, western-style pastry chef. "
Yu Yi seemingly reflected on this for a second before saying, "Take me to see. "
In the interview room, the tense atmosphere had not eased.
"I didn't copy her. "
Tang Mi declared this statement.
But the director, in exchange, disdainfully laughed. "Your counterargument is very weak. "
Tang Mi's brows rose. She took a deep breath before saying, "I didn't copy her. I have never copied anyone. That cake was my design, and she plagiarized me! Her biggest advantage was that her number came before mine, which meant she was able to present her cake before the judging panel and audience ahead of me!"
The director snorted. "Do you expect me to believe that? In such an insignificant, school-level competition, and you plagiarized others to win? I can't help but question your character. " As he said this, he glanced at the cream cake on the table. He sneered. "This cake wouldn't happen to be another one of your plagiarisms, right? If a plagiarized dish is served on the dining table for guests to taste, do you know how much it would affect the restaurant's reputation?"
Tang Mi moved her hand to pinch her knee. The urge to punch this man was rising within her.
If Fu Xin was here right now, she would definitely tell her to restrain herself. Unfortunately, Fu Xin wasn't here.
Tang Mi swiftly rose from her seat and quickly stepped around the table. She picked up the cake. Pa-ji. She smashed it in the director's face.
...
The restaurant manager was bowled over by her movements, which was as confident and agile as the moving clouds and flowing water.
"What are you doing?!" The director's head was covered with cream. He suddenly slammed the table as he stood up.
Tang Mi gazed steadily at him before suddenly drawing back the corners of her mouth into a smile. "I wish you a happy birthday!"
Director: "..."
Who told her that today was his birthday!
Not waiting for him to react, Tang Mi had already walked past the restaurant manager with lightning speed and grabbed her bag beside the chair. She hurriedly headed towards the door to escape.
Her agile figure had just disappeared down the hallway when Yu Yi walked down it from the other end.
Luo Hao walked ahead of Yu Yi towards the door. He knocked twice with two short and powerful raps.
Not waiting for anyone inside to respond, he pushed open the door. The restaurant manager and the director looked over at the entrance, the cream cake splashed on the director's face especially eye-catching.
Although he was used to large spectacles, Luo Hao couldn't help smiling slightly upon seeing this. Yu Yi's steps didn't pause as he straightforwardly entered the room.
"Hello, CEO Yu. " Upon seeing the great boss, the two of them deferentially greeted him. Yu Yi's gaze swept across the director's colorfully and vibrantly decorated face and indifferently asked, "What happened?"
The director, like a child tattling to his parent, complained with righteous indignation filling his chest. "That interview candidate just now——when I exposed her past plagiarism scandal, she immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and smashed the cake into my face!"
Yu Yi listened to him finish before tilting his head to Luo Hao and giving him instructions. "Let them use a towel. "
"Understood. " Luo Hao nodded and turned around to leave. The door quickly closed, and hurried footsteps echoed from outside. The supervisor, holding a towel, made a fuss about nothing as she ran inside. "Good gracious! My pitiful director, who was so heartless to go as far as to mess with you like this?"
Yu Yi silently stood to the side. Luo Hao intuitively understood and said, "Supervisor Yu, you may leave. "
Supervisor Yu: "..."
She was actually commanded to leave again.
Supervisor Yu, heart filled with unwillingness, reluctantly left, taking the towel from the director's hands. The director had wanted to follow her to go wash his face, but CEO Yu still hadn't said anything. He didn't dare to act blindly without thinking. Yu Yi stood in his original spot for a moment before he stepped towards the table.
As he got closer, the cake's aroma became exceedingly stronger.
Everyone in the room attentively followed his every movement. Yu Yi glanced down and examined the plate with the small slice of cake. After looking at it for a spell, he held a spoon and scooped out a small mouthful, bringing it up to his mouth.
The director opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but he ultimately didn't voice his thoughts.
The fragrant, sweet, rich flavor dispersed in his mouth. Yu Yi's tongue licked a little bit of cream stuck on his lips. He set down the spoon and turned his body towards Luo Hao. He said, "Make the arrangements. I will personally interview her. "
