C17 The Lin Family's Hope

When Chu Hee returned to the private room, everyone was already seated. Lin Fengxue waved at him, and he sat down next to her.

Because there were quite a few people, they were divided into two tables. The Lin family and Wang Tongtong, along with two female colleagues, sat at one table, while the others sat at the other.

Lin Fengyu glared at Chu Hee with a sneer on her lips.

"When the chef's dishes arrive later, make sure to taste them carefully. Then you'll know how terrible your cooking is."

Chu Hee smiled faintly, saying, "Well, considering how much you seem to enjoy my cooking every time, should I thank you for tolerating me for three years?"

Lin Fengyu was instantly speechless.

Lin Guangzhi frowned, remarking, "We're outside, not at home."

Lee Min gave Chu Hee a glare, feeling heartbroken at the thought of the expensive watch that cost over a hundred thousand.

If they were at home, she would never let it go so easily.

Soon, Zhang Kai returned. He seemed a bit absent-minded and appeared somewhat embarrassed.

As soon as Lin Fengyu saw Zhang Kai, she waved at him and said, "Come over here and sit!"

Zhang Kai walked over and sat down, nodding and smiling at Lin Guangzhi and Lee Min. "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Lin Guangzhi and Lee Min, who were angry just a moment ago, now both smiled.

"Zhang Kai, is your father at the hotel?"

"He's at the hotel, but he's got a lot of work to do, so he couldn't make it. But my dad said today's meal is on the house, so everyone can eat as much as they want. He'll come over once he's done with work."

Lee Min was delighted and magnanimously said, "Your father can keep working; he doesn't need to come."

Lin Fengyu hugged Zhang Kai's arm, looking blissful. "Zhang Kai, did the head chef prepare today's dishes?"

Zhang Kai's expression stiffened, but before he could answer, a voice interrupted him.

"Is Ms. Lin Fengxue here?"

Lin Fengxue was taken aback, her gaze vacant as she stood up and asked, "I am. May I help you with something?"

The one speaking was a short and chubby man wearing a chef's uniform. He looked very kind.

"Hello, I am Ni Taotao, the head chef of Heaven Look Hotel. It's my pleasure to serve you tonight."

Zhang Kai was surprised. His father had just mentioned that the head chef would go to take care of those two VIP guests. How did the head chef suddenly come to their private room?

Could it be that his father had finally decided to send the head chef?

Why did the head chef mention Lin Fengxue's name?

Could it be because Lin Fengxue reserved this private room?

Except for Zhang Kai, no one else knew what was going on. They all thought it was Zhang Kai's doing.

Lin Fengyu happily kissed Zhang Kai on the cheek and said, "Zhang Kai, you're really good to me."

Wang Tongtong said, "Thank you, Young Master Zhang. Without you, we might never have had the chance to savor the cuisine of such a high-class chef in our lifetime!"

Other female colleagues also chimed in with thanks.

"Thank you, Young Master Zhang!"

"I'm so happy. I'm going to take photos and post them on my social media to make others envy me!"

"After eating dishes prepared by a chef of this caliber, I won't be able to eat anything made by others."

Listening to their comments, Ni Taotao finally spotted Zhang Kai and respectfully called out, "Young Master Zhang."

Then he turned and walked into the adjacent kitchen, which had a transparent glass design so that people outside could see clearly into the kitchen.

This was a special feature of Heaven Look Hotel.

The chefs here prepared dishes with great aesthetics, which not only gave customers a sense of luxury but also proved that their environment was clean and hygienic.

Once inside, Ni Taotao immediately started assisting the chef who was previously cooking in there.

While Ni Taotao was busy cooking inside, Lin Fengyu turned to her sister, Lin Fengxue, and inquired, "Sis, didn't you mention some exciting news to share? Everyone's here now; why not go ahead and spill the beans?"

Lin Guangzhi and Lee Min looked at Lin Fengxue in confusion because they thought that coming to Heaven Look for dinner was arranged by Yu and Zhang Kai.

They thought they were going to meet Zhang Kai's father today, so they dressed up specially and took a long time to come.

"Happy occasion?" Lee Min frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xue, are you pregnant?"

Lin Fengxue blushed, offering an awkward smile. "Mom, it's not what you're thinking. I actually got a promotion and a raise, so we're here to celebrate."

Lee Min let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest, saying, "That's good, you scared me."

She had been hoping for Lin Fengxue to divorce Chu Hee, and the prospect of a child would only complicate matters further.

Lee Min furrowed her brow and stared at Xue.

"Is it really necessary to be this extravagant just because of your promotion and raise? Ultimately, you'll still depend on Zhang Kai to cover the expenses!"

Wang Tongtong hurriedly said, "Auntie, it's not just an ordinary promotion and raise. Today, our company's general manager personally promoted Fengxue to a sales manager. Not only did her base salary increase to twenty thousand, but she also received a reward of a Golden house! It's such a big deal, so of course we have to celebrate."

" What? "

After Wang Tongtong finished speaking, Lin Fengyu, Lin Guangzhi, and Lee Min were all stunned.

Although Lin Fengxue's colleagues had known about this for a while, hearing about it now still made them envious.

"A base salary of twenty thousand? And a house?"

Lin Guangzhi couldn't stop grinning. He then said, "Xue, you're truly outstanding. You are the hope of the Lin family!"

Zhang Kai was equally surprised and said, "Golden House? That's a high-end community, and a house there is worth over four million. This reward is really extravagant."

Lee Min, upon hearing this, gasped and said, "What? The house is worth over four million? Our house is worth only a little over one million."

Jealousy can drastically alter a person's demeanor, and unfortunately, Lin Fengyu's subsequent words were far from pleasant.

"You're really lucky. Your luck is so good you could go buy a lottery ticket. Could it be that your boss wants to take care of you? These things happen a lot nowadays, so you should be cautious."

Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd, Lin Fengxue couldn't contain her excitement.

Lin Fengxue wasn't angry with Lin Fengyu's words; she simply said calmly, "What are you talking about? Director Wai could be my father's age, and he has a wife and children. How could he possibly be interested in me? He just thinks I have strong work abilities and outstanding performance. That's why he gave me this reward."

"And Director Wai said, as long as we work hard and achieve results, everyone has a chance to receive such rewards. I just happened to be the first one."

As she spoke, her face flushed with excitement, and she turned her head while holding Chu Hee's hand, looking as happy as a child.

"Hubby, did you hear that? We have a house now."
