Chapter 208 - All they know is to bully her! (1)
Edited by: Lulu

When Tong Xuelu arrived at the government-operated restaurant, there was already a girl around 18 – 19 years old waiting there.

She had long face with her hair braided into two. She was not tall but she was much better than Tan Xiaoyan’s 50:50 body ratio in comparison.

Tong Xuelu walked over to her and smiled, “You must be Comrade Meng Qingqing?”

The niece of Chef Meng who was temporarily sitting in for Tong Xuelu.

Meng Qingqing had noticed Tong Xuelu from afar.

On a crowded street, Tong Xuelu looked like a white steam bun mixed into a steamer of wowotou. Fair and soft, she was too eye-catching.

She just didn’t think that she was Tong Xuelu.

Blushing slightly, she said emotionally, “You are Comrade Tong?”

Seeing that her cheeks were red, Tong Xuelu was baffled. She nodded anyway, “Yes, I am Tong Xuelu. You can just call me Xuelu.”

Meng Qingqing let out sigh of wonder. Her large eyes blinked as she looked at Tong Xuelu. “You are so pretty, Comrade Tong! I have never seen anyone this pretty in my entire life!”

? ?

So she was emotional because of her look?

Tong Xuelu had yet to respond to that when she heard a snicker coming from behind her. “Brown noser!”

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes and she didn’t need to turn around to know who that was.

Meng Qingqing blushed even more. She said in embarrassment, “Big Sister Xiao Yan.”

Tan Xiaoyan sneered again. “She’s back to work already. There’s no need to kiss up to her. Might as well save your breath!”

Meng Qingqing was obviously a very shy girl. All of a sudden, even her neck had turned red. Her back hunched. It was as though she wished she could curl into a ball.

Tong Xuelu turned around and looked at Tan Xiaoyan.

She suddenly covered up her nose and took a step backward with a look of disgust, “Did you not brush your teeth today?”

Tan Xiaoyan was taken aback a little and her square face turned beet red. “You are the one who didn’t brush her teeth. I brush my teeth every day!”

Tong Xuelu took another step backward, “That’s not possible. If you have brushed your teeth, how are the words coming form you stink so much?”

“……”

Tan Xiaoyan was so angry that her face turned red and white and she gave Tong Xuelu a deathly stare with her puffy eyes.

Meng Qingqing’s eyes beamed when she saw that Tong Xuelu was able to rile Tan Xiaoyan up with just a few words.

No wonder both her uncle and Guo Weiping both raved about Tong Xuelu’s ability. She sure was someone mighty.

She was pretty and quick witted.

Wu. She liked Tong Xuelu so much.

Tong Xuelu had no idea that she had just gained herself a fangirl with just a few words.

Manager Liu Dongchang came to open the door for them shortly.

Then Chef Meng and Guo Weiping arrived as well. Following behind them was a woman in her 40s or 50s.

It was only when she ran into them did she notice that Chef Meng’s arm was injured and he had a cast on his right arm with a sling around his neck.

As it turned out, Chef Meng was ran over by a bicycle on his way home from work two days ago and had a fracture in his right arm. The doctor said that it would take him 3 months to recover and 6 months to be able to use his arm like normal again.

Problem was that Chef Meng was a chef and not a left-hander. He would not be able to do his job when he couldn’t use his right arm.

It was easy to get a replacement for a server but a chef required a certificate.

He had his sister-in-law came over yesterday to substitute for him.

Chef Meng’s own wife died from illness a few years ago and his only son was still single. Plus, his son was employed and wouldn’t be able to come and help, let alone that he didn’t know how to cook.

Out of options, Chef Meng had his sister-in-law took his place.

Chef Meng’s sister-in-law was Meng Qingqing’s mother.

She knew how to cook but, just like any other women from the village, she skimmed on the oil. Plus there were no techniques to speak of. All she did was make sure that the food was cooked.

That, for sure, would not work.
