The Lovely Heiress Is Actually A God Beast

Chapter 712: Chapter 712 Good Police Relations and Good Personal Relations

When a person is convinced of the ”truth” they want to believe in, no amount of argument can persuade them otherwise.

At this moment, Chef Yu was at a loss for words, left to be falsely accused without the means to defend himself.

Xiao Li, the apprentice chef, suddenly exclaimed with a loud ”Huh” filled with surprise, drawing the attention of everyone present toward him.

Xiao Li, under the gaze of all, flipped his phone screen around to show them, ”Little Taotie has posted a statement!”

Chef Yu, who was close enough to see, was deeply moved by Little Taotie’s lengthy post.

[In addition, there’s something I want to clarify for my friend.]

Upon reading these words, a smile formed in Chef Yu’s eyes, ”She considers me a friend, that’s great!”

Chef Yu looked at his silent colleagues, chuckled lightly, and repeated Little Taotie’s question, ”Egg fried rice is slapdash? Simple? Could there be some misunderstanding here?”

Everyone exchanged looks, turning into mute gourds.

Chef Yu didn’t let up, continuing to press them, ”How many of you can actually make a delicious egg fried rice if you were to try?”

”You’re all chefs, you should understand the complexity of it better than most, right?”

”Is egg fried rice really that simple or not? You must know the answer in your hearts, right?”

The crowd exchanged glances again, but no one spoke.

They felt guilty inside, yet they were unwilling to admit they were wrong.

Faced with the silence of the kitchen staff, Chef Yu scoffed in disappointment, took off his chef’s hat, placed it neatly on the table, and sighed, ”After many years as colleagues, I had hoped to finish out my final days here on good terms, but it turns out I was the only one who thought we got along well. When push came to shove, beneath that facade of false friendliness, it was indeed this ugly and deplorable.”

Looking up, Chef Yu’s indifferent gaze swept over the onlookers, ”I’ve already submitted my resignation, and I’ll be leaving at the end of the month, but now I feel there’s no need to wait. You’ve long since had no place for me.”

With no lingering attachment, Chef Yu left the place he had worked for many years.

Upon hearing the news, the boss didn’t blame him and even offered him a full month’s salary.

Chef Yu declined, ”I’ll take only what I’ve earned for these few days. There’s no need to give me so much.”

The boss teased, ”You don’t need to become estranged from me because of them. You’re no longer their colleague; from now on, you and I are peers, Boss Yu.”

Chef Yu’s previously sour mood began to improve, and remembering that he would be running his own restaurant with his girlfriend, the smile on his face grew, ”Competitors like frenemies, aren’t you afraid I’ll steal your business?”

The boss laughed, ”Feel free to try and take it, I’m magnanimous. Business is all about skill. Besides, our restaurants are so far apart, neither of us can steal the other’s customers. Maybe one day, we’ll even have the chance to collaborate. Harmony in business is key to prosperity.”

”Harmony in business...” Chef Yu murmured the phrase softly, nodding in agreement, ”You’re right, I’ve learned something new.”

...

In the evening, Chef Yu waited outside his girlfriend’s restaurant for her to finish work.

Compared to Chef Yu’s poor popularity, the female chef was extremely well-liked.

When the kitchen staff learned that the female chef had handed in her resignation, her sisters clung together, crying.

”If you leave, our restaurant will be missing a signature dish!”

”The Triple-Lobster Delicacy, no one but you can bring out its authentic flavor!”

”Can you not go? We’ll be short of a star singer for our karaoke nights!”

”Babe, what am I going to do if you leave~”

”Old Tie, I don’t want you to go!”

”Bestie, can’t you just stay?”

Li Haowei made many promises to her clingy sisters before she could finally break away from their ”clutches” to meet her boyfriend at the entrance.

”Why are you so early today?” Li Haowei asked, puzzled.

Chef Yu told his girlfriend about what happened in the kitchen.

Li Haowei sighed, ”Out of sight, out of mind. Luckily, you weren’t too close to them.”

Chef Yu nodded, ”I’m slow to warm up to people; I didn’t interact with them much.”

Li Haowei opened the trending searches, ”We have to thank Little Taotie, or else, who knows how they would’ve slandered you by now!”

Chef Yu nodded and lifted the food container in his hand, ”I plan to bring some delicacies to express my gratitude. Shall we go together?”

Li Haowei was also grateful to the ”paper-burning” benefactor for her Little cutie, ”Okay, wait here, I’ll pick up some tasty desserts.”

...

Little Taotie packed her luggage, getting ready to participate in a detective reality show.

Qin Xin looked at Little Taotie, dressed up as Sherlock Holmes, and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth, ”Are you sure you don’t want to change your clothes?”

Little Taotie placed a toy pipe in her mouth and lifted her chin defiantly, ”I am Sherlock Holmes!”

Qin Xin covered his eyes, barely able to watch.

Cheng Guodong hesitated before speaking up, ”If you’re dressed as Sherlock Holmes and fail to discover the truth, won’t that be embarrassing? You’ll be the laughingstock.”

”I will discover the truth!” Little Taotie shouldered her backpack and steadied her hat, ”I’ll make everyone believe that I am Sherlock Holmes, there’s no truth I can’t uncover!”

The nanny knocked on the door, ”Little Taotie, you have two visitors.”

Little Taotie cocked her head, nearly causing her hat to fall, and quickly stabilized it with a look of confusion, ”My visitors?”
