Qi Wants to See the Chef Chapter 674: Chapter 674 Mr.

Qi Wants to See the Chef Wa Zhiqi naturally didn’t know about the love-hate relationship between the first and second team commanders.

He only knew that he had met the second team commander and even received help from him, which was exceedingly lucky.

“Mr.

Qimo, what happened to you?”

Xiao Qimo concealed the brief flash of dark light in his eyes and said indifferently, “Nothing.”

The second team had always been unreliable, but this time they actually did someone a favor.

However, now that he was here, they naturally wouldn’t need to rely on the second team for information about IEG anymore.

Everyone made their reports in turn, and Ke Weimin gave the final summary.

He concisely mentioned several points about the situation and proposed the next steps to be taken, his posture and composure exuding the majesty and experience of an old team leader.

Xiao Qimo did acknowledge Ke Weimin’s abilities.

In any case, during the two days he had been away, everything at the office had proceeded as normal, without any significant deviations.

Xiao Qimo helped himself to some appetizers, and that overwhelming feeling of familiarity became even more apparent.

It also made his mood improve somewhat.

Everyone noticed this and each quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ke Weimin’s report wasn’t entirely complete.

The curious man in sunglasses glanced over and asked, “Captain Ke, why didn’t you mention the holographic projection hypothesis to Mr.

Qimo?”

“About that…” Ke Weimin paused, “The idea is still in the hypothesis stage and not mature enough.

I planned to present it after finding more evidence.”

In fact, Ke Weimin hadn’t been angry before; he was simply deep in serious thought.

He wasn’t opposed to the radical idea proposed by Lu Mian.

The main issue was the lack of reliable evidence, so he couldn’t just speak without consideration.

The man in sunglasses nodded and didn’t say anything more.

However, upon hearing the words “holographic projection,” Xiao Qimo completely put down his chopsticks, and his expression turned serious.

Heh, someone’s thoughts actually coincided with his own.

Xiao Qimo looked up at Ke Weimin, elbows on the table and fingers intertwined, showing keen interest.

“Captain Ke, did you come up with this?”

This was also why he hadn’t continued to examine the remaining two sites.

After visiting three scenes, he had already sensed that something was wrong.

Ke Weimin shook his head, “Not me, it was a girl, named…”

He couldn’t remember the girl’s name, as he hadn’t asked at the time, so he turned to look at Wa Zhiqi.

Wa Zhiqi’s smile was sly, “Mr.

Qimo, would you like to hear it from her personally?”

Xiao Qimo frowned slightly.

It was a girl?

He lifted his hand slightly, “No need.”

To Wa Zhiqi’s surprise, how could he not want to meet her?

He scanned the spread of delicious food on the table and tentatively asked, “Then, how about meeting the new chef?”

The chef was supposed to be a man, right?

Xiao Qimo revealed a rare hint of a smile.

“Sure.”

Wa Zhiqi hurriedly ran out excitedly to make arrangements.

Reaching the door, he found the maid and said, “The master is very satisfied with tonight’s supper, quickly call the chef over.”

“Really?”

The maid was happy for Lu Mian and, becoming curious, looked up, “Captain Wa, why are you so excited?

It’s as if you’re the chef yourself…”

Of course, Wa Zhiqi was excited.

He wasn’t the chef, but he might as well be considered a major assist, right?

He matched Mr.

Qimo with his girlfriend, surely Mr.

Qimo would be overjoyed.

Wa Zhiqi rubbed his hands together and walked back into the dining room, where Xiao Qimo, in a good mood, looked at the three untouched bowls of little wontons on the table and issued a command like the voice from heaven.

“Is anyone hungry?

Let’s eat together.”

Emma, I was just waiting for the boss to say that.

A bunch of guys in their thirties, who gives a damn about being elegant?

Despite their modest thank-yous, they’re already honestly scrambling for food.

Some snatch bowls, others grab spoons.

If you only snatch loneliness, you can only wait eagerly for the leftover soup.

Xiao Qimo shook his head helplessly.

Daine by his side, having gulped down the last of the broth, gave a thumbs-up, “Delicious, I absolutely love your Z Country cuisine!”

“Yes, the chef’s skills are indeed good this time.”

Xiao Qimo rarely complimented anyone, especially these past few days when he was in a foul mood, not even willing to show a pleasant face.

Daine was nearly moved to tears, “So for the few days I’m at the office, can I have her make it for me every day?”

Xiao Qimo generously made a welcoming gesture, “Of course.”

“Hahaha, great food really can heal a person’s mood!”

Xiao Qimo paused.

Maybe.

Having that familiar, comforting food is like having her by my side.

The temporary separation is hard for him too, but it’s the only choice he can make.

Rather than suffer from longing, he preferred Lu Mian to be safe.

—

Back in the kitchen, Lu Mian had been busy all day and was now leaning against the dining counter, sipping on milk.

Although she spent some time cooking, miraculously the kitchen wasn’t much messier than it was before.

A younger kitchen assistant could not contain his curiosity any longer, asking, “Lu Mian, is there any of what you just made left?

It smells so good…”

As he spoke the last words, everyone could hear the sound of him slurping saliva.

Lu Mian glanced at the stove, “There’s no finished dish left, but there’s a bit of minced meat left.

I’ve put it in the fridge.”

The crowd expressed their disappointment.

Lu Mian bit her straw, “If you want to eat, just take that minced meat and use it.”

“Alright, alright, thanks a lot, Lu Mian!”

The world is never short of foodies.

After getting Lu Mian’s permission, they cared little for the big shot who had arrived that evening.

Liang Hua stood gloomily at the kitchen door, swallowing saliva countless times, yet still rolling his eyes and saying, “If the boss doesn’t say it’s good, other people’s compliments are useless.”

Lu Mian chuckled and took a sip of milk, looking like a well-behaved schoolgirl.

Liang Hua had more to say, but a maid from the dining area returned.

“Director!

Director!

That gentleman ate it!

.C0

And he was very satisfied, he wants to meet our chef!”

The maid had rushed over, and after speaking to Liang Hua, she looked at Lu Mian with admiration, “I pushed the cart over, God knows how tempting it was…”

Lu Mian lifted her head, “There’s still some minced meat left.

They’re working on it inside.”

“Great!

I want some!”

The maid excitedly ran inside a few steps, then turned back to remind Lu Mian, “Lu Mian, go to the dining area quickly.

That gentleman is waiting for you, he’s quite handsome!”

Lu Mian smiled wryly with the straw in her mouth, her pose both wild and nonchalant, sure that no matter how handsome, he wasn’t as handsome as Director Qimo.

“Looks like I’ve won.”

Leaving these words behind, Lu Mian held the milk in one hand and propped the other behind her head, striding with a casual gait towards the dining room.

Though Liang Hua was frustrated, he still cautioned her from behind, “Behave yourself!

Put down the milk!”

Lu Mian didn’t listen, all the way to the dining room, still able to hear the intense discussion inside.

It was a murmur, probably discussing a case.

Lu Mian quickened her step slightly and knocked on the door upon reaching it.

“Please come in.”
