Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Wenwen"

With almost no hesitation, Li Shuo immediately strode forward.

Yan Zi's profile stated that she was a host on Mingzhu TV, so it was not surprising that she knew Si Jiawen, and now was also a good opportunity: although he learned from Yu Nuannuan that this person was quite arrogant, if she was talented, Li Shuo would not recommend putting up with her temper.

Of course, everything must be based on reality, without blindly listening to one side or believing it, and only looking at the target's actual character and performance.

"Shuo Ge'er! Why are you here..."

When she saw Li Shuo, Si Jiawen's beautiful eyes lit up. She immediately put aside what was happening in front of her and walked towards Li Shuo. At the entrance of the busy restaurant, she gave her beloved man a big hug.

Yan Zi turned her head with curiosity in her eyes. The rumors about Si Jiawen had been making the rounds on TV for the past few months.

At first, it was said that Si Jiawen had a strong family background and her ex-husband was a top-notch rich man in Lenghai. His daily life was the end point of countless women's struggle! But then, news of a marriage change came out. Si Jiawen divorced her ex-husband at an extremely fast speed. It was rumored that this was influenced by another more powerful young man.

Now it seems that the male protagonist of the scandal is standing right in front of her.

Yan Zi looked at Li Shuo carefully and her first impression was "average". His temperament and appearance were naturally okay, and he was considered a handsome guy. His main "disadvantage" was that he was young.

As we all know, young men have a "shortcoming". They have not been "tempered" by society, so naturally they cannot accumulate much wealth, and their social status is usually not high, unless they are the second generation. However, the second generation also has various problems, and usually the younger they are, the more problems they have.

"Brother Shuo, let me introduce you. This is Yan Zi, Xiao Zi, a popular girl in our TV station. This is my boyfriend Li Shuo..."

"Hello"

After Si Jiawen's introduction, Li Shuo shook hands with Yan Zi, who then said to Si Jiawen coquettishly, "Sister, I really have no other choice. You should do it yourself."

Li Shuo looked at Si Jiawen with doubt, and the latter explained: "Today, Xiaozi asked me to come here to calm the situation..."

Yan Zi wanted to do a "food special" for "Xu Heji", but she had already resigned from Mingzhu Satellite TV. Xu Heji would naturally not be enthusiastic about receiving her in her own name. Yan Zi had no choice but to call her friend Si Jiawen, who had a say in all aspects.

"That's easy. I just happened to meet Mr. Shao..."

More than just meeting, when introducing him just now, President Zhang also highlighted Li Shuo to General Manager Shao, calling him a "genius gourmet" and "the rising star of the association." In short, President Zhang is professional when it comes to praising people. Therefore, General Manager Shao deliberately left Li Shuo a private contact number.

Li Shuo said this, and he raised his hand to call Mr. Shao from Xu Heji...

"Mr. Li, please wait a moment..."

The receptionist who had been paying attention to this side came forward immediately, with a warm smile on her face, and said repeatedly: "It's not that we don't want to do a food interview with Miss Yan Zi, but there is no role of credibility guarantor in the middle. Since you know Miss Yan Zi, this matter will naturally be easy to handle..."

Yan Zi's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately felt more certain about the rumor that "Si Jiawen's rumored boyfriend is a super rich young man."

Li Shuo frowned upon hearing this and asked curiously, "Credit guarantee? Do we need to sign a contract and let me be the guarantor?"

The receptionist and Yan Zi said in unison: "Of course not!"

"You don't have to do anything. I'll arrange a new box for you right now. Please wait a moment..."

The receptionist smiled, turned around and started asking people to open the treasure chests.

Yan Zi thanked Li Shuo repeatedly: "Mr. Li? Is it okay to call you that? Thank you so much this time. In fact, the so-called reputation guarantee is a rule set by the restaurant because it doesn't want people to eat and drink for free. In fact, as long as it is a media interview, there is generally no problem with a press card. Well, this time it is mainly because it is Xu Heji..."

Li Shuo understood. If the restaurant received everyone who came for an interview immediately, the reception fee alone would probably cost a lot of money every day.

"Let's go, my Mr. Li, thank you for today..." Si Jiawen smiled and hugged Li Shuo's arm.

Li Shuo smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. Your presence has caused too much noise. Given your current situation, it's better for you to keep a low profile..."

The words were rather subtle, and Yan Zi could not quite understand them, but Si Jiawen felt warmed at heart: it had only been a week since Chen Qingyuan was stabbed on the street, and the criticism surrounding her had not gone away. The fact that Li Shuo could take this into consideration showed that he was not only attentive, but also cared about her very much.

Isn't this what women care about?

Although they had Li Shuo's face, the private room that Xu Heji arranged for the three of them was naturally not as luxurious as the one in the Food Association, and the quality of the food was not as high as the "eight delicacies".

Of course, Yan Zi was already very satisfied with this. When each dish came up, she would take a picture first, then taste it, and then use a recorder to record her feelings.

Li Shuo, who was standing next to him, chatted with Si Jiawen while listening to her notes on each dish. Then, based on his own tasting results, he found that this woman did have some talent, at least her evaluations of the dishes were very accurate.

As long as Yan Zi’s cooking skills are 8% of the level she evaluated, she can probably be called a “beautiful cook”!

Li Shuo glanced at Yan Zi who was working seriously. As a future internet celebrity, her appearance was naturally good. Her features were very distinctive. Her face was not the "common" cone-shaped face. Her face was slightly round, but her eyes were big. As far as he could remember, the comments on Douyin called her "Little Chen Qiaoen". The two looked very similar.

As for a beautiful chef, the most important thing is "beauty". With Yan Zi's score of over 97, even if she is not considered a T0 beauty, she is still a top T1 beauty, and she deserves some attention from Li Shuo.

Si Jiawen had been sticking to Li Shuo the whole time. Naturally, she sensed that his attention was distracted. She immediately leaned close to his ear and whispered, "What? Are you interested in a flower from our TV station?"

"I'm only interested in Sister Wen..."

"Humph, you're just so sweet!"

"Of course, the things I want to taste should be sweeter..."

The couple chatted, and the topic was heading down a different path. Li Shuo immediately changed the subject: "Actually, I know this girl. Yu Nuannuan wants to find a private chef for me, and her name is on the shortlist..."

He briefly described the situation, and Si Jiawen immediately grasped the key point after listening: "So, if everything goes well, you want to hire Yan Zi as your personal chef?"

"Yes, but we are still in the investigation stage, and we don't know much about her character and craftsmanship yet."

Si Jiawen said with a smile: "She doesn't have many friends in the TV station. She gives people the impression that she is a little cold, but from my point of view, she is just introverted and doesn't like to talk. Her personality is actually okay..."

Li Shuo nodded in his heart and said, "This is just your personal feeling. We still need to observe the overall situation..."

"Tsk, you still want to observe such a beautiful lady!"

"Ahem, appearance is not important. For a chef, the most important thing is her cooking skills!"

"What kind of craft? Is it the kind I was thinking of?"

"Sister Wen, your thoughts are not pure again."

"Tsk, how do you know what I'm thinking about?"

The two of them whispered in each other's ears. Yan Zi soon noticed it, coughed, and said, "Well, you two can start eating. You don't have to wait for me. I'm just taking a photo..."

As expected, she had no emotional intelligence. She actually thought that the couple had not picked up their chopsticks because they were waiting for her.

Li Shuo smiled and started to pick up food for Si Jiawen, who happily enjoyed her boyfriend's thoughtfulness. She looked at Yan Zi and said, "Xiao Zi, it seems that you are enjoying your current job, otherwise you wouldn't have come here directly for an interview. If things go wrong, you will have to pay for it out of your own pocket!"

Yan Zi said bluntly: "Sister, you forgot that I am no longer in the TV station. I am now recording programs at my own expense, so I want to get the media reception qualification here..."

Si Jiawen suddenly said, "Looking at my memory, it means you are having a hard time now. You young people are so motivated that you quit the TV station without thinking..."

"It was just an impulse. I didn't want to be bullied in front of the TV station. Sister, you know that hosts look glamorous on the surface, but in front of the camera, they are just puppets. They have to do whatever others say, but any mistakes are your responsibility as the host!"

Yan Zi began to complain, and Si Jiawen also took the opportunity to chat with her, which also allowed Li Shuo to learn more about Yan Zi:

Overall, this beautiful cook is quite to Li Shuo's taste. She is "introverted" only towards strangers. She is talkative in front of Si Jiawen, and seems to be the "tight-mouthed" type, which makes her very suitable for being recruited into Shuoguo Manor.

At this time, Si Jiawen went straight to the point:

"Xiaozi, since you're on a food show, how good are your cooking skills? Have you ever thought about taking a part-time job?"

Yan Zi did not doubt him and said with a smile: "Sister, to be honest, my cooking skills are pretty good. I recently received an invitation to be a private chef. The other party seems to be a well-known figure in Lenghai. The price he offered is very high, but I haven't made up my mind yet..."

"Oh?" Si Jiawen raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand to pinch her chin, and teased: "Is it because my Xiaozi is pretty and you are afraid of meeting a rogue boss?"

"Oh, sister~"

Yan Zi said with a chuckle, "I do have concerns about this, and rich people who can afford a private chef are most likely already married and have a family. I don't want to serve such a large family..."

"For me, being a private chef is just a shift to accumulate savings. My real dream is to set up my own food studio, make exquisite dishes every day, and then share them with my fans who like me!"

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that Yu Nuannuan didn't reveal her situation to her.

Yan Zi continued, "Moreover, I can tell from the tone of the middleman that the other party offered a high price just to hire a beautiful cook. But I'm obviously going to be a chef, so what does my appearance have to do with it? It just so happens that I recently signed up for a food competition, so I made an agreement with the other party that after I win the championship, I can talk about applying for a private chef position!"

Si Jiawen glanced at Li Shuo, her eyes seemed to say: Oh? So you went there for the "beautiful chef".

Li Shuo responded with a wry smile, but he had no intention of explaining. He and Si Jiawen were true lovers, so he didn't need to worry about this woman getting jealous.

Sure enough, Si Jiawen quickly continued to question Yan Zi and said, "This is a good idea. When you win the championship, your net worth will not be what it is now!"

"Well, I have thought about this, but the price they offered at the beginning was quite high, so there may be a lot of room for price increase."

Seeing Yan Zi taking the championship of the food competition as a sure thing, Li Shuo couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Beautiful lady, let me tell you something. Are you so sure that you can win the championship? What if you don't win the championship, or even don't even get a ranking, then won't your value drop?"

"Mr. Li, I'll cook a table of dishes for you when I have time. You'll know once you taste them!"

Yan Zi said confidently.

Si Jiawen beside him added at the right time: "Don't be free, Li Shuo is helping you today, you should decide the time and place, otherwise, our Young Master Li will not accommodate other people's schedules..."

Yan Zi then realized that she was too blunt and had a low EQ, and quickly said to Li Shuo, "Yes, Mr. Li, I am taking advantage of you today. Please make time for me, and I will cook some dishes for you... Sister Wen must come too!"

"no problem!"

The two men and women looked at each other and agreed at the same time.

Each of this pair has more holes in their minds than Yan Zi. This conversation directly achieved Li Shuo's goal of "testing the beautiful chef".

The atmosphere of the subsequent chat was much more relaxed and cheerful. Yan Zi went to the bathroom and did not come back for a long time. After a while, she actually called Si Jiawen:

"Sister, I'm sorry. I met some people who were hard to refuse... Please talk to Li Shao. I was negligent this time. Next time..."

Si Jiawen turned on the speakerphone directly, allowing Li Shuo to hear Yan Zi's repeated apologies.

However, Li Shuo heard some familiar voices on the phone, such as someone from the Gourmet Association, who was shouting, "Master Yan, you are too late. You must toast to President Zhang with three glasses of wine first!"

"It's okay, we won't wait for you, we'll leave first..."

Si Jiawen hung up the phone and turned to look at Li Shuo: "Do you want me to help you check the box of Xu Heji?"

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows: "Why are you checking that thing?"

"Don't pretend!" Si Jiawen patted him and said, "It sounds very chaotic over there. It's obvious that your beautiful cook has been dragged into the drinking party. This kind of situation with favors is the most difficult to handle. If your beautiful cook is not careful, you may be trapped. Isn't this a good opportunity for you to be a hero and save the beautiful cook?"

Li Shuo frowned and said, "Si Jiawen, stop calling her a beautiful cook. I haven't met her yet, and I'm not sure if I want to hire her!"

Seeing that Li Shuo was unhappy, Si Jiawen's momentum instantly weakened. She pouted and muttered, "Why are you angry? I was just joking with you..."

"How can you keep teasing me like that? I shouldn't have told you this in the first place!"

"Oh, good man, male god, dad, I was wrong..."

"Scream again and let me hear it..."

"Good guy~"

"wrong"

"Dad~~Dad~~"
