Chapter 616 Wallet

The day after Malu returned from Houde, the business of the Universe Infinity Canteen was still booming.

For this reason, he decided to add an additional 100 dishes to the supply, but it only lasted half an hour longer. Before 2 pm, all the dishes on the menu were sold out.

He Xiaoqian hung a closing sign at the door of the restaurant. The people who had been busy for half a day sat around a table and prepared to eat employee meals.

Just then a pigeon landed in front of the restaurant.

Malu was stunned when he saw the pigeon, put down his chopsticks, and said to the three women, "I'll go out for a while, you guys eat first."

Then Sun Mei saw Malu push open the door and walk out, talking to the pigeon, then shook his head and nodded.

He took out his mobile phone, typed something, and put the watch on his hand close to it.

The pigeon pecked the watch twice, spread its wings, and flew away.

And Malu also walked back from outside, looking in a good mood.

Sun Mei was shocked, "How long has he been in this condition? Didn't you persuade him to go see a doctor?"

"Hmm."

Ma Lu returned to his chair and said to Ma Youyou, "I'm going to the mental hospital with Lao Wang tonight. Please help me log in and out. I have an appointment with someone to go to the Spider's Nest in Nightmare Town at 7 o'clock.

"Okay," Ma Youyou nodded, "Also, boss, don't forget the interview with Meiping.com this afternoon. Team Leader Yu originally said she would come yesterday, but you turned it down."

"Ah, why is there an interview? Okay, then I'll ask her to come now." Ma Lu looked at the time on his phone and said

About 40 minutes later, a taxi stopped outside the restaurant.

Yu Yitong and David walked down from it.

Yu Yitong wore a yellow windbreaker, a dark blue skirt, and a scarf around her neck today. At first glance, she looked like Tang Wei in "Late Autumn".

She knocked on the glass three times before pushing the door open. "Boss Ma, we meet again."

"Team Leader Yu, how are you?" Ma Lu put down the video he was watching halfway.

"I don't think I've ever formally congratulated you on winning the Asian championship of the Chef God Contest."

"Ah, it's just an empty title. I don't take it seriously at all." Ma Lu waved his hand.

He was still being modest, but when he followed Yu Yitong's gaze, he saw the trophy on the counter.

He placed the trophy in the most conspicuous place to ensure that every guest who came in could see it at first glance. Ma Lu also specifically told He Xiaoqian to wipe it twice a day.

Fortunately, Yu Yitong didn't dwell on this topic for too long. He found a table and asked David to set up the camera.

Yu Yitong congratulated Ma Lu on winning the championship again, and then got to the point.

"Boss Ma, as far as I know, you are not a professional chef, and it seems that no one in your family works in the catering industry. How did you come up with the idea of ​​running a restaurant?"

"Oh, that's right. I actually had a dream of opening a restaurant since I was a child, but my parents definitely wanted me to live a stable life of working from nine to five, so I went to college step by step.

"Then what made you change your mind?" Yu Yitong asked.

"Love, because of emotional reasons, gave me a blow, but also made me realize...I can't live like this anymore, I decided to muster up the courage to pursue my childhood dream!"

Ma Lu continued to talk nonsense, Lao Wang's identity was special, so Ma Lu consciously downplayed his existence in the interview, so as to prevent bored netizens from checking Lao Wang's background all over the world.

Yu Yitong's body shook, but she still tried to control the expression on her face in front of the camera, but her voice was slightly trembling.

"It turns out that Boss Ma took this path because of emotional problems. ”

“Yes, it is well known that I am a very sentimental person.” Malu nodded.

“Let’s… let’s talk about the God of Cooking Contest. You started from a small stall, accumulated your first pot of gold, and established the Universe Infinite Canteen two months later. It can be said that it is very inspiring.

“However, in this process, you have always presented yourself as a boss, not a chef. How did you think of participating in the God of Cooking Contest in person this time?”

“Because there is a prize, and President Sun is also very enthusiastic. He has been inviting me, hoping that I can help him discipline his rebellious granddaughter.”

“The rebellious granddaughter… refers to Chef Sun Mei, who won the runner-up in this God of Cooking Contest? I noticed that you interacted frequently with Chef Sun Mei during the three days of the competition.”

“And after the game, someone posted a video on Douyin, breaking the news that Chef Sun Mei is now working for you. Is this true?”

“Yes.” This kind of thing cannot be concealed, so Malu admitted it very straightforwardly.

"Are you in love with... Chef Sun Mei?"

"No, Chef Sun Mei is my friend. She wants to practice with me for a while, and I welcome her."

"If you want to practice... why not work in the kitchen instead of as a waiter?"

"You are wrong. Service is also very important." Ma Lu said seriously, "Especially for chefs, it is crucial to understand the needs of customers, so it is reasonable to start practicing here."

"But I often see some diners complaining online that you and your restaurant are too self-willed and rarely consider the feelings of customers."

"This is a higher level of realm, focusing on oneself. Only a very small number of very, very talented chefs can reach this level."

"I see. Speaking of genius chefs, what do you think of the upcoming world competition?"

"I hope I can meet a few opponents who can resist for a while, so that I can feel the tense atmosphere of the finals."

"…………"

The whole interview lasted about an hour. After the interview, Yu Yitong handed over a handbag.

It contained a shirt and a wallet.

The shirt was the one that Malu had lent to Yu Yitong to cover the blood stains. Now it has been completely washed.

Malu then picked up the wallet.

"This is a gift to thank you for your willingness to accept our follow-up shooting during the game and the exclusive interview afterwards." Yu Yitong explained.

Malu looked at the COACH classic three-stripe short wallet with a strange look, "Did you steal my phone?"

"Absolutely not." Yu Yitong said.

"I'm talking about when I was in school, otherwise how would you know about this wallet?"

Yu Yitong was startled when he heard this, and after a moment he said, "When you went to take a shower before, a notification popped up on the screen saying that the wallet you were interested in was restocked."

"So you think I like this wallet? Ah... you still like to fantasize as always."

"Don't you like it?"

"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't have any feelings. The reason I was interested in it at that time was just because I saw that you were working too hard, so I wanted to buy some fake products to sell in school. In fact, I was interested in more than 20 wallets at that time, and this was just one of them."

"Really? Then give it back to me." Yu Yitong reached out to take the wallet back.

But Malu's hand retracted, "Since you gave it away, don't ask for it anymore. Anyway, you can go to the company's financial department to reimburse it."

"That's right."

"This is not fake, right?"

"I bought it at the counter the day before yesterday."

"Okay, do you have anything else to do?"

"No, I'm going back to work."

"Goodbye."
