Chapter 126 - Five simple mantras to follow.

Chen Yujian has filled his expression with smug, while Li Xue felt an urge to smack his head hard. This man was really making her lose the thin string of control she was holding inside. Her eyes pierced into his, warning him dangerously to not test her limits. And that warning was clearly delivered to the person it was aimed for.

Witnessing her gaze, Chen Yujian felt a slight shiver down his spine. Though the change was slight but it made the man realize that this time he has met a woman who wasn't like those he has met in the past. She might look like a simple Head Dessert Chef, yet the aura she carries with herself was not so plain and simple.

But who cared? If she wants to kill him, he will wait to see her killing moves. How perfect would that be? He muttered playfully under his breath and shrugged off all the other thoughts he had in his head.

Giving a smile of a tease to her warning eyes he said, "Don't be so concerned about my future, Head Chef. I would love to sacrifice it for you. I mean I can sacrifice it to learn something from you. Since you are so concerned for me I assure you with my promise. I will try my core best to learn everything you teach me but if due to some issues I fail then you have to look after me for life. Let me stick with you for forever", he said, blinking his eyes with innocence the same as a kid putting his excuse of absence from the class.

That was the limit. The limit of her patience. Her jaws got clenched in irritation as she closed her eyes too. Taking a deep breath in, she calmed her composure back. Then slowly curling her up into a smile, she opened her eyes back. Everything went back to normal, leaving no clue of a few moments before.

Then turning her eyes back to the senior in the room she said in a very contented expression, "Chief, I think I should take my words back. Since the intern has so many beliefs on me and so as you, I don't find it right to let you two down. I would love to try out this opportunity. If Chen Yujian wants to stake his career to work under me then how can I show lacking? I will try my best ways to nurture him. Please allow me".

She said. Her words were all polite and warm but still, it gave Chen Yujian a sudden feel of Antarctica. He felt like something harsh and fast was making its way to him. He tilted his head to a little side, trying to foresight what was it but nothing came to his vision.

"That's called the spirit. I am sure you will never let our expectations down. But you don't have to stress over this. I know you are new; so whenever you have any problem you can ask for my help without any hesitation", Huo Rong said. He was getting a strong hunch that this time, there was finally someone who can make this young, arrogant master abide by rules and regulations. He can feel it in the air. His aged eyes didn't miss the changing demeanour of Chen Yujian when he heard the woman's words.

"Ahh! Thank You, Chief. But before I take him under me. I want to make some rules clear to him. Her head at an instant turned to look at him. Raising her thin, dark beautiful brows at him, she asked for his confirmation once again. Though it was just confirmation still it looked more like a challenge to Chen Yujian.

To reply to her back with the same confidence, he let his lips rise up to make an arc of delight as he continued, "Of course, I am all fine with every rule. Even at this time if you want me to sign a slavery contract with you, I will be ready for that. But sigh, slavery is not permitted in our Chiboa". His words were still playful.

Li Xue was amused to look at his blatant ignorance. She shook her head, pitying him, 'Tsk, tsk … it will soon be too late for him to regret his attitude'.

"Omo!! You are exaggerating it too much. There is no need to sign a slavery contract with me. It's just simple rules that you need to follow while working under me. Since you will be under my supervision, I will have to take responsibility for your bright future" she said and then looked back towards the Executive Chief for his support.

Huo Rong also nodded to her words, "Of course, being under someone's supervision you need to follow their rules and orders. Only that way you will be able to shine in the future. So I don't feel anything wrong with Ms Li Xue's words"

"Chief Rong! Why are you making it sound like I am raising any objection here? I never said anything against her words. I just said that if she wants then I am also ready to become her slave. Who will not want to be a slave of such beauty of attitude?" he chuckled shamelessly, making Li Xue growl internally.

"Fine, since you are already agreeing to my terms. I will make my terms clear in front of the Chief itself so that he can guide me wherever I am wrong" she said and then gave a pursed professional smile.

"Huo Rong nodded to her words and then gestured to her to go ahead. Li Xue affirmed her gesture and then looking all mildly at Chen Yujian, she said "There are only five simple plain mantras you need to follow while learning under me"

She paused to create an appropriate air needed around her. 'Now this is called interesting!' she mumbled in her heart and then lifted her fingers up to list up her rules in front of him. Taking out the first finger she highlighted the first pointer, "Time: Every work needs punctuality, so time is important"

"Head Chef, I am very much punctual. You don't know my punctuality yet", Chen Yujian initiated his words but was cut short in between. "And you don't know, what kind of punctuality I am asking for", Li Xue interjected, folding her arms over her chest.
