Chapter 601: Chapter 601 Just a Partnership

Chen Jing was rather confused. What did that girl Ying’er not understand? She was becoming more and more like an old gossipy woman.

After having the recent misidentification over the phone, Chen Jing first glanced at the incoming call display, confirming it was not her daughter. She then assumed it was a customer calling to reserve a table.

"Hello, welcome to Quiet Private Restaurant!"

"Why did you hang up on me?" Again came the voice of Luo Yifan from the other end of the phone.

Chen Jing’s heart started to race suddenly. She took a deep breath before responding.

"I didn’t hang up on you, my phone slipped and broke, it turned off, and I can’t turn it back on right now."

Chen Jing’s explanation sounded like an excuse, but it was the truth.

Luo Yifan on the other side of the phone, whether he believed her or not, she felt she had nothing to be guilty about. So, even if she couldn’t hear his response, she didn’t have the intention to continue to explain, she simply waited for his response.

About ten seconds later, a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Why didn’t you call me about the new cuisine?"

As for whether or not the phone slipped and broke and couldn’t be turned off, Luo Yifan seemed uninterested in pursuing the matter further, to believe or not believe, only he himself would know.

Chen Jing’s rapidly beating heart had gradually calmed down.

"Didn’t you say before, that for matters related to the dishes, I can communicate directly with Zheng and Sheng?"

Chen Jing’s tone was calm, and her mood had also calmed down in an instant.

Some things, whether the speaker intends it or not, if the listener misinterprets, who will end up appearing too passionate?

You can’t blame others for not being clear.

Chen Jing considered herself not smart, so she always took to heart what others said.

Since he made it clear he was no longer involved in the matter, she had no more reason to contact him.

Naturally, even if there was a new, more suitable dish, she would communicate with the two chefs herself. Why bother the busy Big Boss Luo?

Again, silence came from the other end of the phone.

"So, you thought I didn’t need to know?"

The tone carried a hint of displeasure.

Chen Jing was speechless. Why was he passing the blame when he had said it himself? He insisted on making her the scapegoat.

On this matter, Chen Jing felt she had done nothing wrong, so she did not plan on owning up to it.

"You are the boss of Fanxin Restaurant, Zheng and Sheng are the staff you assigned for the contest, and I, I am merely a partner in the contest with Zheng and Sheng. It’s only natural for me to communicate with them about the competition. You reminded me about this and even emphasized it. As to whether to notify you, I believe that is the responsibility of your two staff members, not mine! Our relationship is merely a collaboration, not an obligation!"

When Chen Jing spoke, she was usually quite gentle.

Rarely would she be so assertive.

As for her exceptional performance today, it may be because Luo Yifan tried to pass the blame. Feeling wronged and stifled and, moreover, she considered herself in the right. If it came to a debate, she believed she was on the winning side.

As expected, Luo Yifan on the other side of the phone seemed to be shocked by her. After a while, he finally spoke.

"I’m sorry for what I said earlier... Let’s talk in detail tomorrow when I come over!"

The tone no longer held the previous firmness and displeasure.

As for his apology, Chen Jing made no response.

As for whether he should come over, Chen Jing didn’t interfere. After all, this wasn’t her business to begin with. He was the boss of Fanxin restaurant and had the right to decide if he should come over. All she had to do was cooperate.

"Hmm..."

"I’ll book the flight for tomorrow morning..."

"Hmm..."

"Then... see you tomorrow!"

"Hmm, Bye-bye!"

Chen Jing neatly hung up the phone. Her previous discomfort seemed to dissipate a little.

Zhu Qianying arrived at the restaurant around nine and handed over a new phone to her as soon as she walked through the door.

"Mom, here’s your phone. I’ll take the old one for repair."

Chen Jing obediently went to the office to get the phone. When Zhu Qianying took it and looked at it, she was speechless.

"Mom, you used it as a punching bag. Look at this screen... tsk tsk!"

She removed the back cover of the phone, took out the SIM card, and put it into the new phone.

"Is it still repairable?" Chen Jing looked at the broken phone, turning it around in her hand.

Zhu Qianying glanced at the phone, "Don’t worry about it, you’ve used this phone for how many years already?"

"But all my contacts are on this phone!" At first, Chen Jing thought it didn’t matter whether the phone was repaired or not, but then she remembered that the phone not only had Luo Yifan and Zheng and Sheng’s numbers, but also the numbers of everyone else who had contact with her.

If the phone couldn’t be repaired, she would lose contact with those people.

Although, even if she didn’t lose these contacts, many people might not contact her again in their lifetime.

Zhu Qianying was again speechless. After the phone turned on, she tapped a few times and entered the phone book feature.

"Mom, you should save the phone numbers on the SIM card from now on. Even if the phone gets damaged, it will not affect them. Moreover, you can make a backup of the phone numbers. This way, even if the phone is broken and the SIM card is lost, the numbers will still be there."

To say that her mother, in her forties, could hardly be considered old.

However, her comprehension of these technological products was much lower than that of even a five-year-old child.

If she wasn’t around, her mom would be hopelessly confused.

Zhu Qianying’s thought process carried her back to hoping that someone would be able to take good care of her clueless mother.

However, such things could only be left to fate!

After Bai Xiangdong and Luo Yifan, this was the only comforting phrase Zhu Qianying could come up with.

"Then you help me out with it. It’s too complicated, I can’t manage."

Outside the kitchen, Chen Jing was indeed a rather incapable person.

"Hmm, I’ll set it up for you. But this isn’t urgent. Didn’t you say you’ve perfected a new dish? Come on, let me have a taste."

"Hmm, I’ll go make another one for you."

The taste of food, in addition to the chef’s skills, of course, also considers freshness.

Chen Jing had left two dishes in the kitchen earlier, but the taste would definitely be greatly reduced.

But these were just thoughts from Chen Jing as a chef with strict requirements.

When Chen Jing was remaking the dish according to her written procedure, Zhu Qianying tasted the already-cooled dish.

"Hmm, delicious!"

Although the taste of the cooled dish was greatly discounted, Zhu Qianying still praised it.

When Chen Jing served the freshly made dish in front of her, Zhu Qianying took another bite, equally full of praise.

"Mom, I think this dish can be enjoyed in two ways." Zhu Qianying spoke with genuine excitement, as if she had discovered something new.
