Chapter 360: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
Manager Wang had a sudden inspiration and remembered the gossip news he had recently seen.
It is said that rising star Lin Xinrou is likely to become the spokesperson for a brand under the He Group.
Assistant Lin said that President He wanted to see if those celebrity guests were reliable. Could it be that President He wanted to personally investigate whether Lin Xinrou was qualified?
After figuring it out, he quickly and actively led the way.
Lin Xu had no idea what he was thinking, and assumed that he had grasped his meaning and thought that he was a promising young man.
The hotel's kitchen is spacious, bright, clean, and tidy. There are several chefs, and there are dedicated people in charge of food preparation. The entire kitchen is well-organized.
Yun Qing felt that she was really out of place as the new chef.
The head chef already knew that celebrities were coming to work, and after politely greeting them, he began to ask the three guests about their specialties.
Lin Xinrou said gently, "I can cook most of the home-style dishes, but the taste is definitely not comparable to what the chefs make."
Ling Xiao smiled broadly, "I'm better at Western food."
Yun Qing said expressionlessly, "I'm good at eating."
Head Chef: ? ? ?
He paused for a moment, then asked with a somewhat complicated expression, "You don't know anything?"
Yun Qing nodded aloofly, then added, "I can learn."
Actually, she felt a little uncertain, not because she lacked confidence in He Chengyi, but because she lacked confidence in herself.
Who knows if she has a talent for cooking?
The head chef looked somewhat embarrassed; learning on the spot seemed unreliable.
The dishes prepared here are for hotel guests, so they don't have to taste amazing, but they certainly can't be culinary disasters!
If there are any problems with the food, their hotel's reputation will be ruined.
But he also knew that these celebrities were filming a show and had certain professional requirements. These three were in the kitchen to be chefs, so it wouldn't be appropriate to assign them other tasks. He was in a bit of a dilemma.
At this moment, Ling Xiao said enthusiastically, "Why don't you help me out, Sister Song? We're in the same group anyway."
Lin Xinrou just smiled gently and didn't say anything.
Yun Qing refused, saying, "No need, I'll only make things worse."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's okay, I can teach you."
Yun Qing refused again, "No need, thank you."
Looking at her aloof expression, Ling Xiao lowered his eyes and asked softly with a hint of disappointment, "Does my sister not like me very much?"
"If there's anything I've done wrong, you can tell me, and I can fix it."
It's quite endearing to see such a cheerful, sunny puppy suddenly looking so downcast.
At least many viewers felt that Yun Qing had gone too far.
They meant well, but she not only didn't appreciate it, she also had a cold face, as if they owed her something.
Yun Qing frowned and glanced at Ling Xiao, feeling somewhat wary. Was this person trying to incite his fans to cyberbully her?
Is this the legendary male green tea?
So she said, in what she thought was a very tactful tone, "I really don't like drinking tea."
Lin Xu, who happened to witness this scene: ...
He couldn't help but glance silently at President He beside him.
Hmm... He felt that the proprietress didn't dislike tea, she was just picky and didn't drink just any kind of tea.
[Hahaha, I knew Ling Xiao's words were right. Rejecting him just means she doesn't like him? He must be so upset!]
[They're deliberately trying to make the audience feel sorry for him! My sister Song is so innocent. She just wanted to work hard and not make things worse for others, and she even politely said thank you, but she's being criticized just because she didn't smile.]
[Let me say it again, my sister Song isn't naturally inclined to smile!]
[Some viewers are just brainless; they fawn over someone just because they're feigning helplessness. My sister Song is so clear-headed and a true tea connoisseur!]
At this moment, Lin Xinrou spoke gently, "Teacher Song, you shouldn't be so stubborn."
"This hotel offers 24-hour room service, and there are so many guests that they can order food anytime. There's no time for you to study."
“If you’re with Ling Xiao, you can help out while you learn, without interfering with your work. He can also teach you, which is more reliable than you trying to learn on your own.”
In fact, Lin Xinrou didn't have much ill will towards Yun Qing. She was just a pretty face with no acting skills and posed no threat to her.
But this doesn't mean she's willing to stand next to her and be overshadowed, nor does it mean she doesn't mind being dragged down by her.
Since Ling Xiao is willing to be with her, that would be even better.
She just didn't expect Song Yunqing to be so lacking in self-awareness.
At the kitchen entrance, Manager Wang agreed, saying, "Ms. Lin is right. Our hotel kitchen is quite busy, and we also have to be responsible to our guests..."
Lin Xu was utterly stunned by this clueless fool.
What are those eyes for? Didn't he notice that President He's gaze was glued to Miss Song the whole time?
He winked at Manager Wang, but the manager didn't seem to notice.
Lin Xu had no choice but to kick him subtly.
Manager Wang: ? ? ?
He looked at Lin Xu with a puzzled expression. Was he wrong?
The kitchen is indeed very busy! They really have to be responsible for the customers! Ms. Lin is absolutely right!
Mr. He must be quite satisfied with this reasonable and understanding spokesperson, right?
He glanced at President He again, but President He's face was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether President He was happy or angry.
In the end, he had no choice but to shut his mouth in a daze.
Lin Xinrou already had more fans than Yun Qing, and her gentle nature was more endearing than Yun Qing's.
After she finished speaking, many viewers felt that what she said made a lot of sense and that Yun Qing was somewhat immature.
After Manager Wang spoke, even more viewers shared this view.
The three celebrity guests, who had been facing away from the door, finally noticed the person at the door.
Lin Xinrou had arrived last and hadn't seen He Chengyi yet. Upon seeing him now, she was pleasantly surprised. "President He!"
Lin Xinrou wore a gentle smile and did not appear overly enthusiastic or obsequious.
After all, she has always presented herself as someone who is indifferent to worldly affairs and lives a peaceful life.
At this moment, the look in her eyes when she looked at He Chengyi contained no ambiguous hints, but only a hint of admiration and respect, which easily made people feel good about her.
The gossip news that Manager Wang saw wasn't entirely unfounded, but it wasn't accurate either.
In fact, Lin Xinrou wants to become the spokesperson for a brand under the He Group and is working hard to achieve this.
The seemingly plausible but ultimately misleading messages spread by marketing accounts are actually her team creating hype for her.
Now that she has coincidentally run into the person in charge of the He Group, her mind is inevitably starting to wander.
He Chengyi turned to Manager Wang and said, "During the filming of the program, let's create a celebrity service option so that guests can choose freely."
"The service is not at all on the same level. Guests are completely unaware of this and suffer a great loss. It also affects the hotel's reputation."
His words were somewhat impolite, making Lin Xinrou and Ling Xiao a little embarrassed.
Only Yun Qing nodded in agreement, even smiling as if she had found money.
What is Song Yunqing doing? Doesn't she know she's also the one being disliked?
I'm a bit confused too. She seemed to agree, but why was she smiling like that? This woman can smile?
[Don't forget, her eyes sparkle when she smiles, and it's quite sweet... um... a little naive.]
[Am I the only one who wants to see President He? His voice is so nice, he must be good-looking. Why doesn't the production team give him any screen time?]
[The production team probably wouldn't dare! Sisters, go search it up yourselves! Mr. He is a true high-achieving, rich, and handsome man!]
Lin Xu: ...
He's probably the only one who can guess what President He and the boss's wife are thinking.
What Mr. He is trying to say is, so what if my wife can't cook? You guys are way behind!
The proprietress, on the other hand, was probably thinking, "My husband is so handsome! He's right!"
