After tasting the food, Gu Yu and Jiang Lai were basically satisfied with Lu Yuan's cooking skills. After comprehensive consideration, they offered him the position of head chef with an annual salary of 800,000 yuan.

For a two-star Michelin chef, this salary is not high, but for a chef who has lost his sense of smell and taste, it is acceptable.

General Manager Jiang said there was a three-month probation period, and if Lu Yuan was competent for the job, she would give him a raise.

Jiang Lai also agreed to Lu Yuan's proposal to form his own chef team.

"Brother Gu Yu, let me tell you, although he is a bit of a jerk, his cooking skills are still good."

After the cooking demonstration, Lu Yuan and Peng Jiahe were taken to the general manager's office by Manager Feng.

"I have always believed in Jiahe's recommendation, otherwise I wouldn't have had the interview today,"

Gu Yu smiled and coaxed Peng Jiahe who was trying to take credit for it, then he extended his hand to Lu Yuan.

"Chef Lu, I hope you can contribute more to the development of the restaurant in the future. If you have any questions, please tell Manager Feng in time, or report directly to President Jiang.

I believe the chef is the soul of a restaurant, so I’ll leave Gray Whale Restaurant to him from now on.”

"Mr. Gu, you're welcome. This is my job."

Lu Yuan and Gu Yu simply shook hands, with a complicated look on their faces.

I had only heard of him before, but today I saw him in person. He is sunny, handsome, young, stylish, and gentle.

Being Peng Jiahe's guardian did not make him feel much more at ease. He had seen many gentlemen and beasts.

But Jia He has a good impression of Gu Yu and they are close. From what I can see so far, Gu Yu is indeed good to Jia He, and she will work for him in the future.

Lu Yuan could only suppress his worries in his heart, show due respect on the surface, and then slowly observe Gu Yu's true character.

"Chef Lu, I have something to discuss with you. Jiahe is very cute, smart and lively. It is fate that we met and became friends.

She told me about her recent situation. Jiahe is only 17 years old, which is the right age for school. The longer she delays, the more detrimental it will be to her learning and growth.

If you don't mind, I will arrange for her to enroll as soon as possible so that she has more time to prepare for the college entrance examination next year."

"Of course I don't mind. This is a good thing. Thank you so much, Mr. Gu. To be honest, I just came back to China and was overwhelmed by all kinds of things.

I failed to pay attention to Jiahe's studies in time, which was my fault as a guardian."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan took the initiative to hold Gu Yu's hands with both hands, and this time the expression on his face was much more sincere.

Peng Jiahe's face fell when she heard the conversation between the two. She muttered softly that the relaxing and beautiful days seemed to be coming to an end.

As a poor student, how much could she like the arrangement of returning to school? But she did not dare to speak out against it.

The last time Gu Yu talked about this matter seriously, she was a little scared and had already agreed.

Seeing that the matter was done, Peng Jiahe's good mood after seeing Gu Yu faded a lot.

What made her even more speechless was that she had wanted to play with Gu Yu today, but was dragged home by Lu Yuan.

"Jiahe seems to be very close to you and a little dependent on you." Jiang Lai hinted at something.

"Children who have lost their parents will inevitably feel lonely and insecure. If a stranger in their life reaches out to them, they will naturally feel warm and want to hold on tightly.

I have had such an experience, and to this day, I consider Uncle Xia and Aunt Liu as my family members," Gu Yu's tone was full of memories.

"I'm sorry, I..." Jiang Lai apologized quickly. She had read Gu Yu's profile and knew his upbringing. She looked at Gu Yu with eyes full of heartache.

"I'm fine. This happened a long time ago. I'm lucky that I met Uncle Xia's family when I was in trouble and helpless," Gu Yu smiled and took the initiative to comfort Jiang Lai.

"If possible, I really hope that I have known you at that time," Jiang Lai was a little emotional and hugged Gu Yu gently, wanting to give him her warmth.

Gu Yu did not push away or avoid her. In the office, the two of them just hugged each other quietly, bringing their hearts closer and closer.

No matter what age a woman is, it is inevitable that she will overflow with maternal love. This is her nature.

It can be expected that Gu Yu's background will be revealed later, and he will also use it when facing other girls.

"Gu Yu, my parents want to invite you to dinner at home. You are my brother's friend, and you helped me get over my emotional pain. They want to meet you and thank you in person."

Jiang Lai, who was always confident, proud and carefree, was a little nervous. He carefully extended the invitation and observed Gu Yu's expression, worried that he would hesitate and refuse.

Gu Yu and Jiang Lai's relationship developed steadily. With Jiang Haokun's deliberate publicity, it was no longer a secret in the upper-class society of Shanghai.

Jiang's father and mother love their little daughter very much. With the previous example of Chen Fang, although Jiang Haokun praises Gu Yu like a flower and Jiang Lai is also attracted to him, as parents, they still have to keep a check.

"I should take the initiative to visit my uncle and aunt. You can set a time. I am willing to do it." Gu Yu agreed immediately without any hesitation.

"That's great, they will definitely be very happy!"

Regardless of whether Jiang's father and mother were happy or not, Jiang Lai smiled happily after receiving Gu Yu's affirmative answer.

"I want to go for a walk by the river, can you come with me~"

Jiang Lai pulled Gu Yu's arm and started to act coquettishly. The two of them held hands and left Gray Whale with Manager Feng seeing them off.

Seeing the bright and sweet smile on Jiang Lai's face, Manager Feng was very impressed.

Love is sweet, but it can also make people stupid. It seems that Miss Jiang has completely fallen for him.

Our Mr. Gu has a bright future ahead of him. I must find an opportunity to curry favor with him and get close to him!

The time spent with Gu Yu always passed quickly. At ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Lai drove her red Porsche 911 back home.

"Mom and Dad, we're not asleep yet. Brother, why are you back today?"

Going up from the garage to the living room on the first floor, Jiang Laiqiao saw Jiang's father, Jiang's mother and Jiang Haokun sitting on the sofa chatting. Jiang Laiqiao smiled and sat next to Jiang's mother.

"You're dressed so beautifully. Did you go to see Gu Yu again? When will you bring her home to show mom?"

Jiang's mother poked her daughter's forehead with her finger and shook her head.

"Mom, it hurts~ Am I still your precious daughter?" Jiang Lai hugged her mother with a smile and acted like a spoiled child to her.

"Your heart has already flown away. Your mother and I have raised you in vain," Jiang's father said angrily.

"What's wrong with me? Dad, you are so heartless. Who is the one who stays with you at home every day? It's me, your sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket!"

Jiang Lai made a face at his father. He was always a child to his parents who loved him.

"By the way, I've told Gu Yu to come to my house for dinner. You guys can arrange a time so I can talk to him."

"Well, I'll discuss it with your mom. Hao Kun, you can also call Gan Jing when the time comes. Okay, it's getting late. Your mom and I are going to bed first. You guys should also get some rest early."

Father Jiang nodded after hearing this, his expression eased a lot, and he went upstairs with Mother Jiang. The old couple felt relieved that their daughter was back.

"Good night, Dad and Mom."

Jiang Haokun paid great attention to etiquette and family education. He stood up, said good night, and watched his parents leave.

Jiang Lai waved his hand casually, picked up the fruit plate on the coffee table, placed it on his crossed legs, and began to put it into his mouth.
