Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Grilling Meat for the CEO
She was just about to take the clothes from Ye Xian’s hands when at a table nearby, Li Jiahua called out, “Jiang Xin, come sit at this table.”
Jiang Xin looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Li Jiahua said, “Come here, I’ll talk to you about your acting. There were a few parts in today’s performance that weren’t quite right.”
Jiang Xin liked Ye Xian, and Li Jiahua could see that, but Ye Xian belonged to President Bo, so why was she joining in the excitement?
Now that the director had spoken, Jiang Xin naturally didn’t dare to disobey; she handed the bag to Ye Xian and went over.
Ye Xian folded the clothes neatly and placed them in the sealed bag, setting it down between the two of them.
Finally, there was some barrier between them, and she felt that the air was much fresher.
The waiter came over to serve the dishes, lifting the lid to reveal a plate of fresh beef and mutton.
Pang Kai had not yet had the chance to pick up the tongs when Ye Xian beat him to it, taking all the meat over, “Let me do the grilling for the CEO, my grilling skills are unparalleled!”
Pang Kai looked at him with some skepticism. What was going on with this kid? Just now at the entrance, he seemed like he didn’t want to have anything to do with the CEO, but now he was bustling about like an old mother hen, such a stark contrast. Could it be… was that just playing hard to get?
It seemed actors nowadays really went to all lengths to ingratiate themselves with those in power, but even the CEO was acting a bit out of character today. Typically, if someone dared to flatter him so openly, they would have been kicked away long ago.
Ye Xian was not just pretending to be something she wasn’t this time; her cooking skills were exceptional, and she was very proficient with frying, roasting, and cooking all sorts of ingredients. Simple grilling couldn’t trouble her at all.
Using the tongs, she placed the meat on the scorching hot stone, timing it, adjusting the heat, observing the changes in the meat, flipping it in time, then sprinkling on the pepper, cumin, and other spices. In no time, the fresh raw meat was grilled to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, wafting a mouthwatering aroma. The dripping fat made Pang Kai’s mouth water. The food looked good, but he wasn’t sure how it tasted yet.
He couldn’t wait to pick up the chopsticks and handed a pair to the CEO as well, only to realize that the CEO’s gaze was not on the meat, but on… Ye Xian’s hands, as if her hands were the tantalizing piece of meat.
Pang Kai looked at where the CEO was staring in confusion.
Aside from being a bit paler, tenderer, longer, and better-looking, there was nothing special about Ye Xian’s hands. Wait a minute, weren’t her hands a bit too soft and fair, almost like a woman’s?
No wonder she was gay; definitely a bottom.
A fragrant steak fresh off the grill, Ye Xian meticulously cut it into small pieces with a knife and fork, then wrapped them in lettuce, sprinkled with seasoning, and pushed them towards Bo Tingshen like a prized offering, “CEO, would you like to try it?”
“CEO?” Bo Tingshen gave him a sidelong glance with those deep-set eyes brimming with a hint of tease, “Not ‘vieux renard’?”
The term ‘old fox’ sent a jolt through Ye Xian’s heart, sure enough, the CEO was still the same petty, vindictive CEO, no matter how much she tried to please him, the mistakes she’d made were not forgotten.
“No, no, don’t get me wrong, President. What I said just now… that was… about myself!”
“Yeah yeah!” Ye Xian nodded desperately.
“…” Ye Xian bit her lip, Bo Tingshen staring at her.
Ye Xian steel herself to speak the hard truth to herself, “Je suis le vieux renard.” (I am the old fox)
“And… there’s no more, right?” Ye Xian looked at him confused. She had only criticized herself with that one line.
Damn it! That old fox was being too oppressive; it wasn’t just holding grudges, it was like returning a single insult with a thousandfold revenge!
