Chapter 242 The Pastry Chef Implicated for No Reason (12)
After the Thousand Layers was completed, Mu Zhou arranged it on a plate and placed it on the table for people to take away.
Everyone cut up the rest and prepared to share and taste.
This is normal in the kitchen.
When a dessert is made, if they are not busy, everyone will taste it together, give each other suggestions, and encourage each other to improve.
After tasting Mu Zhou's pistachio truffle mille-feuille, everyone praised it highly.
Only the chef looked surprised. She took another bite and called the manager in confusion.
The manager was the one who interviewed Mu Zhou.
Although she is not a pastry chef, she is a true gourmet. Her taste buds are extremely sensitive and she will never forget anything she has eaten once.
Even the smallest difference can taste the difference.
Everyone in the kitchen didn't understand why the chef called the manager, and they all watched quietly.
The manager frowned after taking a bite, then took another bite in disbelief, and then looked at Mu Zhou:
"Did you do this?"
Mu Zhou nodded.
The manager put down his fork and said, "It tastes exactly like the work Xia Wanchen submitted when she first joined the company."
Everyone was shocked.
You know, even with the same ingredients, desserts made by different people cannot taste the same.
Even a seasoned gourmet like the manager would never make such a mistake.
This means that...
Everyone looked at Mu Zhou at the same time.
Mu Zhou nervously grabbed his apron and spoke hesitantly:
"I am also not certain."
She told him everything that had happened before.
She did make two custom orders for pistachio truffle mille-feuille, but she was taking so many orders during that time that she didn't remember many of her customers.
However, she later realized that Xia Wanchen looked very familiar, but Xia Wanchen said she had never seen her before, so she didn't think much about it.
And just now, when the chef mentioned that Xia Wanchen's debut creation was Pistachio Truffle Mille-feuille, she did have a moment of doubt.
But Xia Wanchen has passed away, so there is no way to verify it and there is no point in pursuing it further.
The manager suddenly understood.
Everyone believed her words.
Everyone knew that Mu Zhou had been making custom desserts before joining the company, and she had also said before that Xia Wanchen looked familiar.
It fits perfectly.
Everyone found it incredible.
The chef patted Mu Zhou on the shoulder:
"After all these twists and turns, it turns out that person has come to our CC Secret Realm. What a special fate!"
Mu Zhou also laughed.

This week, Mu Zhou and Song Yi did not go to Su Group because Su Jinyan was on a business trip.
Today is the end of the month, and Mu Zhou looked at the blank chat interface hesitantly.
This was the contact information that Mu Zhou asked for when Su Jinyan sent her home last time.
Since we have to report twice a month, we naturally need contact information.
Su Jinyan was also very happy to give it.
She was hesitating at this moment.
She was supposed to report on her entrepreneurial progress this month. She had thought she could meet Su Jinyan today, but the afternoon tea was cancelled.
After thinking it over again, Mu Zhou started editing.
She sent the first message first.
[Mr. Su, I heard you were on a business trip, so I'll just give you a brief report on this month's work.]
She continued to edit the content and summarize this month, but before she sent it, she saw a reply from the other side.
【Come to me personally tonight to report.】
Mu Zhou's eyes widened in shock. He looked at the words over and over again, and his typing hands froze.
night……
Is it progressing so quickly?
Mu Zhou deleted all the previous content and typed a new sentence, but he felt it was not good enough, so he deleted it again and again.
On Su Jinyan's side, seeing that the dialog box was always stuck on 'the other party is typing', he seemed to be able to understand her dilemma.
He couldn't help but smile knowingly.
In the airport VIP lounge, when the companions were horrified to find that Su Jinyan actually smiled, they all exchanged glances with each other in silence.
Su Jinyan stopped teasing her:
[There's a dinner at Century Center tonight. If you want to support me, I'll be there.]
After seeing the content, Mu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief and replied:
【receive. 】

Century Center in the evening.
The lobby was filled with the clinking of glasses, and celebrities and business leaders gathered here.
Mu Zhou and his colleagues had basically finished their work in the kitchen and also enjoyed a big meal.
After the midnight snack, the banquet in the front hall was basically coming to an end.
"Okay everyone, you've worked hard today, go back and rest early."
After Song Yi finished speaking, everyone went home after get off work.
Mu Zhou took his time changing his clothes.
She waited until everyone had left before leaving the lounge. Unexpectedly, she saw Song Yi leaning against the wall playing with his cell phone.
She was a little surprised:
"Chef Song, you haven't left yet."
Song Yi put away his phone after seeing her:
"Let's go. I'll take you back. This place is a bit far from where you live."
Mu Zhou waved his hands hurriedly:
"Thank you, but no thanks. I have something else to do. I need to go see...a friend."
Song Yi was stunned for a moment, then said: "In that case, I will leave first."
"Bye-Bye."
After Mu Zhou said goodbye to Song Yi, he walked towards the front hall.
At this time in the front hall, Su Jinyan was still greeting people.
As the host today, he naturally cannot leave first.
Not far behind him, Xia Nian'an was looking at him with a slightly obsessed look.
She had always known how charming Su Jinyan was, so when Father Xia asked her to win Su Jinyan, she did not refuse, and even had some expectations.
Marrying Su Jinyan would not only be a great help to the Xia family, but she would also be satisfied to have a husband who was perfect in every way.
Su Jinyan drank a lot of wine today, so Xia Nian'an was very considerate and asked someone to prepare sobering soup.
After Su Jinyan was no longer around, she held up her skirt and walked over to Su Jinyan with the waiter:
"I drank quite a bit tonight, so I asked someone to prepare some hangover soup."
The tone was familiar but with a hint of ambiguity that crossed the line.
Su Jinyan didn't show a trace of drunkenness on his face. He glanced at the cup of hangover soup on the waiter's tray and spoke in a distant and gentlemanly manner:
"Thank you."
He said thank you but didn't actually move.
Su Jinyan is very wary of people.
He didn't want to show that he was drunk in front of outsiders, nor did he want to drink something that had passed through someone else's hands.
Seeing that he didn't move, Xia Nian'an naturally understood his guard against him. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but she could only respond with a smile:
"The guests have been properly arranged. Mr. Su should go back and rest early."
Su Jinyan nodded slightly to her, turned and walked towards the elevator.
It's too late today, so he will stay in the hotel upstairs.
Xia Nian'an also lives here.
She was about to catch up with Su Jinyan when a phone call came in, stopping her in her tracks.
On the other side, Su Jinyan, who was waiting for the elevator, took out his mobile phone and opened the chat interface.
But the screen is full of unread messages all related to work.
Su Jinyan frowned slightly.
He tapped the screen with his fingertips and was about to click on the familiar avatar when he caught a glimpse of someone approaching stealthily out of the corner of his eye.
His furrowed brows relaxed, he put away his phone, and suddenly turned to look at her.
"What are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Mu Zhou, who was quietly approaching, paused and smiled awkwardly:
"Good evening, Mr. Su."
