Chapter 596 - 596 A Splendid Luncheon

596 A Splendid Luncheon

“Then what if this matter is leaked out?” the fat chef asked nervously.

Although, from what the canteen manager said, the drug sounded perfect and the effect would appear in phases, accidents could always happen, especially when the person was Chu Ning.

The staff of Jingyuan High School knew very well Chu Ning’s true identity in Jingyuan High School. She was a school director! They were higher in rank than the principal, and were the ones who paid their salaries.

“The manager has already said this, but you’re still overly cautious. Are you worthy of the million that he just transferred to you?” Xia Fei reminded, gently nudged the fat chef’s shoulder.

The manager looked at the two people standing before him and said calmly, “If this gets out, we’ll all be finished.”

There were only a few days left before the final exams. After the exams, it would be almost two months of summer vacation.

The teacher was not teaching the last class in the morning, and the students were very quiet. Only the scratching of ballpoint pens against paper could be heard.

When there were only ten minutes left, Chu Ning put down the pen in her hand. She felt that going to school was really enjoyable.

“Chu Ning, what’s your answer for the last question?” Chu Ning’s deskmate, Xiaomi, quickly asked in a low voice when she saw Chu Ning put down her pen.

“Calculate it yourself.” Chu Ning glanced at Xiaomi’s final blank page. She knew that this fellow didn’t even look at the question.

“Sigh, how can I understand such a long sequence? Can you let me reference yours?” Xiaomi begged softly.

In fact, even if she did not attempt the last question, she would still be able to get about 80% of the total score.

However, Xiaomi felt that since there was a God of learning sitting beside her, it would be a pity if she did not ‘learn’ from her.

Chu Ning couldn’t stand Xiaomi’s coaxing and pestering. When Xiaomi finished the last question, the bell rang on time.

The originally quiet classroom instantly became lively. For the past few days, the canteen of Jingyuan High School had been providing a tantalizing variety of food every day, so the students were looking forward to lunch.

Chu Ning had special privileges. She could go to the teacher’s window and even ask the canteen staff to prepare a separate meal for her in advance. However, she was still queuing and chatting with the students around her.

After waiting for a few minutes, it was finally Chu Ning’s turn.

There was a delectable selection of dishes at the window, and Xia Fei and the fat chef were on standby at all times. From the moment Chu Ning had joined the queue, they had been making advanced preparations at the window. With the cooperation of the canteen manager, the other chefs who were serving the dishes did not have any objections.

Chu Ning looked at the fat chef and said with a smile, “Give me a bowl of sweet corn pork rib soup, eggplant with minced pork, cumin steak, and stir-fried fungus with shrimp.”

The fat chef heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Do you want anything else?”

“No need.” Chu Ning shook her head.

Meanwhile, although Xia Fei was also preparing orders for other students, his attention was constantly on Chu Ning.

“The sweet corn pork rib soup is a little sweet, is it okay?” the fat chef asked, feigning offhandedness.

“The appropriate sweetness can enhance the freshness.” Chu Ning felt that there was no problem. She took the tray and turned to leave.

After Chu Ning, the fat chef prepared more than ten servings of food before he was stopped by Xia Fei, who was beside him. The pair was replaced by other chefs, and they went to the manager’s office once more.

As usual, Chu Ning sat down to eat and chatted with the students beside her. Yan Shen was not around that day, as he had been returning home daily for lunch for the past few days. A small number of people in school did the same. Even though the school’s dishes were sumptuous enough, these parents felt that it was better for them to prepare them personally.

According to Yan Shen’s personality in the past, he would definitely not go home for lunch, but now he did not feel that way.

Song Gui had also ordered the soup. After taking a sip, he frowned slightly. “Why is the pork rib soup a little sweet today?”

“Are you not used to sweet dishes?” Xu Xi asked quizzically.

Song Gui spread his hands and said feebly, “But it’s a little strange to have a little sweetness mixed in with the salty taste.”

“Maybe this is a new dish invented by the chef?” Luo Yu said with a smile.

“I think the taste is okay!” Xiaomi’s bowl of sweet corn pork rib soup was almost empty.

“It’s not bad to have something innovative occasionally. It’s always good to have different ideas,” Chu Ning said softly.

She looked at the bowl of sweet corn pork rib soup in front of her, blew on it, and took a sip.
