Rebirth of the Legend of the Female Chef

Su Yao stood in the corner of the luxurious banquet hall, her eyes nervously scanning the staff who were busy setting up. Tonight, the charity dinner she had been preparing for a long time was about to be held here. This was a loving feast she had carefully planned for children in poor areas.

"Su Yao, the stage lighting effects need to be adjusted. It doesn't seem warm enough." The event planner hurried over and said.

Su Yao frowned and said immediately: "Hurry up and let the technicians handle it. We must achieve the best results before the dinner starts."

She took a deep breath and continued to examine every detail. In the center of the banquet hall stood a long dining table, covered with a crisp white tablecloth and neatly arranged with exquisite tableware. The fragrance of fresh flowers filled the air, adding a touch of romance and elegance to the entire scene.

"Sister Su Yao, there are some minor problems with the seating arrangements for the guests. The positions of several important guests need to be readjusted." The staff member in charge of reception said anxiously while holding the list.

Su Yao took the list and quickly thought of a solution: "Move these guests to the main table closer to the stage so that they can better participate in the interaction."

At this time, there were less than two hours left before the dinner started. Su Yao's phone kept ringing, and various questions came one after another.

"Su Yao, the kitchen said there is a temporary shortage of ingredients for one of the main dishes, which may affect the serving time."

"Su Yao, several performing guests encountered traffic jams on the road and may be late."

Su Yao felt under a lot of pressure, but she tried to stay calm and solve one problem after another in an orderly manner.

Finally, everything was ready and the guests began to come in. Su Yao, dressed in an elegant evening gown, greeted every guest with a smile.

“Welcome and thank you for your support of charity.”

The dinner officially began with melodious music. Su Yao walked onto the stage and delivered a touching opening speech.

"Dear friends, we gather here tonight for the children living in impoverished areas who long for warm food and the nourishment of knowledge. Let us join hands and contribute to their future."

There was warm applause from the audience and the guests nodded in agreement.

However, just after the first appetizer was served, an unexpected event occurred: a well-known food critic took a bite and his face instantly turned gloomy.

"The taste of this dish is too mediocre and does not meet the expected level at all." Although his voice was not loud, it was exceptionally clear in the quiet banquet hall.

Su Yao's heart sank suddenly. She hurried to the critic and said sincerely, "I'm very sorry. We will immediately investigate the cause and make improvements."

After investigation, it turned out that a chef in the kitchen had made a mistake in the proportion of seasonings due to nervousness.

Su Yao made a prompt decision and decided to replace the dish for all the guests and apologize to everyone in person.

"Dear guests, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by our mistake. We will resolve the issue as soon as possible and ensure that the subsequent dishes will satisfy you."

Most of the guests expressed understanding and tolerance, but some people were still dissatisfied and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Halfway through the dinner, a wealthy businessman suddenly stood up. His face was slightly red, and he had obviously drunk a lot of wine.

"Su Yao, I think your so-called charity dinner is just a cover to gild your own reputation!" he said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar, and Su Yao's face turned pale in an instant.

"Sir, please respect our original intention. We hold this dinner because we sincerely hope to raise money for the children and improve their lives." Su Yao tried to remain calm, but her voice trembled slightly.

"Hmph, who knows if you are just putting on a show!" the rich businessman refused to give in.

At this time, other guests stood up to speak for Su Yao.

"Su Yao's kindness is obvious to everyone, so don't make malicious speculations."

"We are all here for charity, don't ruin this wonderful night."

Seeing that everyone was against him, the rich businessman sat down angrily, but still muttered.

Although the dinner continued amidst twists and turns, Su Yao felt extremely heavy. In the end, at the end of the dinner, the amount of money raised was far below her expectations.

"Su Yao, don't be too discouraged, this is just a setback." A good friend comforted her.

Su Yao held back her tears and said firmly: "I won't give up. I will make more people believe in our sincerity."

The next day, negative reports about the dinner were overwhelming in the media. Some questioned the quality of the dishes, some accused the wealthy businessman of being rude, and some even questioned Su Yao's charitable motives.

Su Yao looked at these reports, her heart filled with grievance and anger. But she knew that escape was not a solution, she had to face it bravely.

She decided to hold a press conference to explain to the public what happened at the dinner and announce the use of the donations and future charity plans.

At the press conference, Su Yao stood in front of many media with a firm gaze.

"Dear friends from the media, first of all, I want to apologize for the problems that occurred at the charity dinner. We will seriously review our experiences and lessons learned and improve the quality of our service. Regarding the donations, every penny will be used to support the food and education of children in impoverished areas. We will regularly publish the use of funds and accept your supervision. My original intention for charity has never changed, and I hope that you will trust me and continue to support our public welfare work."

Su Yao's sincerity touched many people, and some people who were originally skeptical began to change their views.

But there are still some people with ulterior motives who continue to maliciously attack her online.

Su Yao was not defeated by these negative voices. She led her team deep into the impoverished areas, filmed the children's difficult living conditions, and widely disseminated them through social media.

"Look at the eyes of these children. They need our help."

More and more people were moved by Su Yao's persistence and donated money to support her charity.

After a period of hard work, Su Yao finally gradually restored her reputation and her charity work was back on track.

She knows that the road ahead is still long, but she is ready to work hard for the happiness of her children no matter how many difficulties she encounters.
