CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

contemporary romance

Lin Qianru picked the ready dish and exited the kitchen.

From her memory, she walked towards the table that had ordered the dish in her hands.

"Please enjoy, Sir and Ma'am."

She said with a smile after she put the dish on the table.

Then she also poured some red wine into the empty glasses after giving them a polite smile she walked away from there.

"You… go to the VIP room and take the orders."

The manager told her before she could even step inside the kitchen. Lin Qianru hesitated and then said

"Sir, there is still some table left to be served."

The manager looked had a long face when he heard her excuse and said while glaring at her.

"Someone else can also do that. It's not like you are the only waiter here. When I am asking you to do something then you should just go and do that work instead of using your dumb brain."

His voice was a bit loud so people inside the kitchen turned to look towards them.

"No go and do what I have told you."

Lin Qianru blinked her eyes to hold her tears and mumbled in a low voice.

"Yes, Sir"

After that, she walked towards the private rooms.

Standing in front of the room, she first knocked and then waited for a few seconds before entering inside.

Her hands already had the menu.

There was a man sitting around the table alone busy on his phone.

"Welcome to our restaurant. What would you like to have Sir?"

The man ordered a few dishes without raising his head and she noted them down.

Entering inside the kitchen, she told the chef to prepare the ordered dishes. The manager came again but this time he talked to Chef.

"Make those dishes carefully and as soon as possible. There should not be anything lacking in them. He is an important guest."

"You will go and serve it."

He told Lin Qianru after talking to the chef and then walked away.

In the meantime, while the chef was preparing the dishes, Lin Qianru helped other waiters to serve the dishes on the normal tables.

After three rounds, she came to check whether the dishes were ready or not but suddenly heard a painful scream.

"Ahhh…"

Everyone's attention went to the chef who was now lying on the floor holding his arm.

Lin Qianru's eyes widened when she saw that his arm was soaked in hot boiling soup. She picked the bottle of lukewarm water from nearby and sprinkled it on the man's arm.

"The dish is spoiled now. The manager will fire me today."

Her heart was filled with sympathy for the man who was comparatively younger than her. She knew that the young man was studying and doing the job at the same time.

"Qianru, what happened?"

A woman walked towards the kneeling Lin Qianru and asked.

It was Lin Qianru's waitress friend who had helped her in lying to Mo Roulan a few days ago.

"Tiantian, Here… take this and sprinkle it on his burn for twenty minutes."

Lin Qianru hurriedly passed the bottle to the woman who was still dazed but soon woke up when she saw the red skin of the young man.

All the chefs were looking at this silently.

They saw Lin Qianru cutting the vegetables hurriedly and start to whisper.

"Do you plan to make the dish again?"

One of them asked Lin Qianru but she didn't have any times to answer him.

He didn't seem to mind it seeing her busy but still said

"It is not possible to prepare the dish so soon. You should not involve yourself in this matter. If the manager found out then he will also fire you."

Tiantian who was trying to lessen the young man's pain glared at the chef and said

"You should just shut your stinking mouth, old man. The young man is just the age of your son yet none of you stepped forward to help in making the dish again. Instead, you are stopping Qianru who is trying to help him."

The old chef was displeased by Tiantian's words and murmured something but he didn't say anything to Lin Qianru again.

While Tiantian looked at the worried young man and assured him with a smile.

"You don't need to worry. Qianru will handle it."

Tiantian knew that Lin Qianru before had her own restaurant in her hometown. She had also tried the dishes made by Lin Qianru's hands.

At that time, she had cursed the manager to not hire such a talented chef.

So she believed that Lin Qianru could do the job that she had taken in her hands.

In twenty minutes, the dish was made again.

The chefs looked shocked when they saw that Lin Qinaru really made the dish that too in a comparatively less time.

Lin Qianru didn't pay any attention to them and put the dish inside a large bowl and covered it.

She had just exited the kitchen when she saw the manager.

"Go..go don't let him wait anymore."

The manager said and she moved fast.

Inside the kitchen, Tiantian had already wiped the floor and asked the young man to take leave for a few days. Although the burn was small and now didn't seem to be much red after being washed by water repeatedly, it would still pain for a few days.

The chef nodded his head but waited inside the kitchen for Lin Qianru.

He was worried that there would be something wrong with the dish and the manager would find out.

Inside the VIP room, Lin Qianru served the dishes to the man who was still busy with his phone. The man finally put down the phone. He then put the clean cloth on his lap and picked the bowl and filled some soup with the ladle.

Lin Qianru looked at his face to see any signs of displeasure but didn't find any. She sighed in relief and then exited the room after saying a few polite words.

When she came back to the kitchen, the chef asked her and she told him that everything was fine. 

With teary eyes, the young man thanked her again and again. 

However, Lin Qianru didn't know that after she left, the man specially called the manager and asked him who made the dish he had ordered.
