The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 672 - Chapter 672 Chapter 672 Can Only Let Lu Mian Give It a Try

Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Can Only Let Lu Mian Give It a Try Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Can Only Let Lu Mian Give It a Try The atmosphere throughout the office estate was tense and busy.

In stark contrast to this, Lu Mian sauntered into the kitchen nonchalantly, dragging her feet in a carefree manner.

She habitually scanned over the people gathered in the kitchen and the kitchen facilities, her lips curling up in a frivolous manner.

Liang Hua approached her with hands clasped behind his back, walking up to Lu Mian directly, “Why are you so slow?

We’ve been waiting just for you!”

It seemed that he was the director of the office.

Lu Mian’s expression remained unchanged, “Is there an issue?”

Liang Hua looked at her defiant and arrogant face, thinking to himself that Dr.

Wang Xintong was right: this girl simply did not like being told what to do.

Such a person would only be a liability in an investigation.

“What else could I ask you to do in the kitchen but cook?

Can you make dishes to Jinjing’s taste?”

Lu Mian nodded, noticing his attitude and understanding that the person before had not liedaEUR”the director did not have a high opinion of her.

“That’s perfect.

All the ingredients are here.

Hurry up and make a few easy-to-digest midnight snacks!”

Lu Mian scoffed coldly.

He really thought she would come and go at his beck and call.

This girl had always been unruly.

Let alone a director of the office, even if the Emperor himself showed up, if she didn’t want to do something, nobody could force her.

“Not in the mood, not doing it.”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Liang Hua was choked with indignation.

Hey, she’s so arrogant?

“Hold on, you’re in the office now, and you need to follow the arrangements.

Otherwise, what are you even here for?”

To stir up trouble.

Lu Mian silently added in her mind.

“Director, if Commander Wang didn’t relay wrong information, I remember I never said I wanted to join the logistics team.

From the start, I said I wanted to join the special operations team.”

“I know.

But!” Liang Hua rolled his eyes inwardly, “I personally think you’re not suitable for the team.

Look at these kitchen helpers here, apart from two cooks, aren’t the rest assigned to logistics?

They all follow orders, so what makes you so special?”

The other few who were assigned to the kitchen gave Lu Mian a silent glance, not speaking a word.

If there was a better option, nobody would want to remain in logistics.

Didn’t they come to the office to catch criminals and contribute their effort?

The mocking curve of Lu Mian’s lips deepened even further, and she had no intention of wasting further words with Liang Hua, “You only need to give me a fair chance to be assessed.

The rest is up to me.

Whether I’m suitable or not, the exam will give you the answer.”

“…” Liang Hua met someone this resolute for the first time.

Who didn’t know that he was sent by those in power above, holding certain real authority and personnel adjustments in his hand?

Did Lu Mian dare to challenge him like this because she was seeking death?

Liang Hua was so angry but checked the time with a lift of his hand; the fleet would be returning soon, and there would be no time to waste if they dawdled any longer.

Lu Mian saw through his urgency and smiled.

“What do you say?

Can I take part in the key assessments?” Lu Mian persisted.

Only by officially becoming a member of the special operations team could she have the chance to delve deeper into the case.

Otherwise, the identity of a logistics member would get her nowhere.

Of course, she also knew that revealing her identity as No.

13 would naturally win her recognition.

But now wasn’t the best time.

Liang Hua hesitated, seemingly calculating something.

Lu Mian gave a slight smile.

“I don’t need any special treatment from you, but I also hope you won’t deliberately obstruct me because if I score full marks on the basic assessment, am I just playing around?”

Her voice was clear and icy in the deep night.

The surrounding kitchen assistants looked at one another.

“She scored full marks!”

“That must be the highest score among everyone at the office!”

“Nonsense, of course full marks would be the highest, and she’s the only one!

Even Commander Wang only scored in the nineties!”

“But now’s not the time to talk about that, sir didn’t like the flavor we offered, and the only thing we can do now is to have Lu Mian try…”

This remark reminded Liang Hua.

Liang Hua looked at the girl in front of her, who was nonchalantly spinning her phone.

Compared to the anxious bunch of seniors swirling around, she was comfortably idle yet possessed an extraordinary calmness that surpassed that of ordinary people.

No one dares to haggle with him, but this girl is still a greenhorn after all.

Liang Hua pondered for a moment and, in the end, compromised.

“I can agree to give you the opportunity for key assessment.

The condition is that the supper you prepare today must satisfy that gentleman!

If he is not satisfied, you’ll pack up and leave.”

They didn’t need someone so eccentric in their office, and they certainly didn’t need someone who defied the organization’s arrangements!

However, by his estimation, that gentleman had a picky palate and was not easily pleased as someone who rarely cracked a smile.

The food that Lu Mian cooked would most likely not be to the boss’s liking…

By the boss’s hand, if he could get Lu Mian out, then nobody could blame him.

“OK!”

Without a second word, Lu Mian snapped her fingers and brushed past Liang Hua, heading straight for the stove.

“You all go out, I don’t need any assistants.”

Liang Hua summoned a few chefs, “Move along, let’s just see how she performs.”

aEUR”aEUR”

The manor tonight was destined not to be calm.

From the moment they received the news of Xiao Qimo’s return, the office had been bustling non-stop.

The logistics section was busy with supper and tidying up the rooms.

The team members were absorbed in sorting out the progress of the cases from the past two days, ready to report at any moment.

As the car drew nearer to the office, everyone’s breathing became more and more rapid.

They all stood orderly at the manor entrance, lined up and waiting for the boss to return.

The logistics maid, busy with cleaning, asked an elder colleague curiously.

“What’s the story with this person?

It looks like our entire office has been roused.”

“Yeah, this is the only individual the office treats like this.

I have no idea what their story is, but all I know is that we cannot afford to offend them.”

“I heard they had several days left on their schedule before returning.

Why the sudden comeback tonight?”

“Who knows.”

aEUR”aEUR”

Daine had returned with Xiao Qimo.

The golden-haired, blue-eyed Daine pulled Mo Fan, who had gotten off the car before him, aside once again.

“Has your master’s mood improved any?”

“Not good,” Mo Fan responded expressionlessly.

“What to do now?

He has already been kind enough to help, and it would be too much for me to ask him to put up with discomfort here.

I would feel so guilty.”

As they conversed, Xiao Qimo stepped out of the car, his Oxford shoes hitting the ground and stirring a sharp coldness.

Mo Fan didn’t bother with Daine any longer, following his master with dignified coldness.

Daine heaved a sigh and trotted over to Xiao Qimo’s side.

“Mr.

Qimo, I’ve already asked them to prepare the late-night snack in advance.

You haven’t eaten much these past few days, you have to look after your health.”

Xiao Qimo gave Daine a cold glance.

He had no appetite and didn’t want to eat anything from here.

The man irritably adjusted his tie and strode into the manor.

Wherever he passed, a piercingly cold draft blew through.
