Chapter 44 - Treasure that he has started to cherish.

Back in the conference room, Li Xue has accepted her fate. There is no way she would be staying in this job today. It was not like she had no confidence in her own work and skills. But she has more belief in the higher chefs who have been working in Feng Internationals for so many years.

She looked around the chefs that were researching her with curiosity, like she was some alien who has appeared in front of them from another planet. She so wanted to slam her head down on the table and curse Mr. Beelzebub out loud but at no cost she could bring herself to do that in his own office premises.

"Okay, fine since we have already been brought to such a situation, let's face it now", the Chief Chef said looking at his team. Though even he knew that the President has high belief in the woman, he still can't find her with any special skills. So he was very confident that in this game, he will be the one winning.

Looking at their team head so confident, the other chefs were also influenced in thinking themselves highly. Even after witnessing the situation earlier, they still could not bring themselves to think the woman who is just a mere Head Dessert Chef of a mere sweet delicacy brand under Feng Internationals can have any formidable relationship with the Big Boss.

Or why would she be only a Head Patissier taking orders from Chief Chef – de – Partie (Station Chef), rather than an Executive Chef ordering everyone working under the restaurants and hotels of Feng International Brand. This simply does not make sense. And also they have not forgotten the words of the working employees from earlier.

The woman who will be appearing today with the foreign clients will be the Lady Boss, whom President Feng cherishes with all his heart.

"Chang Mia, theoretically you should be involved in our team, since appetizers are being served with starters but looking at you being so humble and friendly with our head dessert chef we leave the decision on you. You can join her or can come to our team", the Chief Chef said with all controlled and polite tone, but still the hints of taunts can be felt within those words.

Mia was perplexed at his words. She looked at Li Xue and gave some thought to the words. Looking at her so confused at the options, the woman thought of helping her out, so she said, "Mia, don't think too much. It will be best if you go with them. I am not confident in my own skills. You should not stake your career and dreams because of me"

The young girl did not seem to react to her words, she was still thinking something deeply. After some time, when she made her mind ready with a decision, she turned to look at the Chief Chef and said, "Sorry Chief Chef, but I believe in our President's sharp eyes, who believes in our Dessert Chef's skills. So I will go to her team"

The team's confidence got staggered at the woman's words. They have never put their thoughts in that way, but now considering they can't be so reckless in taking the President's words to be subtle. The Chief Chef coughed hard to clear the lumps in his throat, "Fine, since this is what you have chosen I can't say you anything more. Best of luck!"

Mia nodded in full confidence and turned to look at the woman sitting beside her. Li Xue was really dumbstruck at her decision, she had never expected Mia to choose her when she was already not confident in herself. Looking at someone believing her to the extent to stake their career she felt that there will be no use of suppressing her confidence anymore. If someone has believed her then it will only be good if she stood up on their expectations.

A glimmering light of confidence crossed in her eyes, making the people around think, was all this time she was intentionally showing her weak side to everyone so that at the end she can move her sword of confidence to behead them in an instant.

At this moment, Gao Fan pushed the door of the room open, his expression stoic and stony. Being the President's personal secretary, the air around him was also tough and formidable. Looking at him with such a face, one can easily guess how meticulous he would be in his ways. Sensing his presence, the team of chefs quickly gave a bowing greeting to him.

Gao Fan scanned the room to find the particular woman, whom he has come looking for. "Ms. Li Xue, President has asked you to meet him in his office". He said as he gestured to her to come along with him.

Li Xue looked at him, then nodded and followed the suit. She herself has questions to ask the man who has caused her life to become a mess like this. On her way out, she turned to ask him, "Excuse me, Mr. Secretary! Sorry I didn't know your surname, so I addressed you like that. I hope I have not offended you"

The woman was really polite, something that has always been her strength. A belief that she has always principled in her life, 'There is nothing that can't be achieved by being polite. Your politeness can even weaken your enemies'.

"Though you have not, but even if you did, there is no way I would complain. This is the privilege you have got from today itself", the man said, scrutinizing her up. This is his first time seeing her in person, but he knew well how to measure the depths of the air around him. If she had influenced the president to such an extent, then surely she has something more in her which is yet to be revealed.

"Privilege I have got?" she asked dumbfoundedly, not able to understand what actually his words meant.

"Yes, it is a privilege which you have got from the moment President Feng has accredited to you, saying 'offending you will be treated as an offense against him'. So according to that analogy …", before he could even complete his words they have already reached the desired office they have been looking for.

Li Xue waited for him to complete, but Gao Fen asked her politely, "Miss, we are already here and the President is waiting for you inside. It would not be good to make him wait". Completing his words, he opened the door for her to enter.

The secretary was smart enough to know whom he should respect and whom not. Looking at his Boss's interest in this woman he was sure that there is no way he could offend her in the future. Witnessing today's scene, he was sure of one thing. This woman was becoming the treasure, the President had started to cherish.
