Because I simply love you-Chapter 28: Impressed
Chapter 28: Impressed
Nana woke up a little early in the morning. She wanted to jot down some possible menu options before going to meet Liu Huian.
After she was done, she quickly got ready and made breakfast for the twins.
“Is everything ready Nee-chan?”
“Yes. For starters, I have prepared a variety of menu dishes for guests. I hope she likes at least one of them.”
“Don’t worry Nee-chan, she will surely like it. You have put so much effort into it.”
The twins were off to their school and she put the board that said Natsukashi will be closed for the morning and left for the venue.
She reached the venue to find some guards standing there.
Guards? It must be for Mrs. Liu. I heard rich people often have security around them.
She politely spoke, “Excuse me. My name is Nana and I’m the owner of Natsukashi. I’m the caterer for this celebration. Mrs. Liu and I have a meeting today. Can I go inside?”
The guards were dumbfounded. Firstly, she was very beautiful.
A..a goddess!
Secondly, she was so polite! People have never talked to them so nicely. They have always demanded to let them see their boss.
They came out of their trance and spoke in an equally polite tone, “Yes mam. We will inform Madam Liu about you. Can you please wait?”
She smiled, “Sure.”
Arrows after arrows struck their poor heart!
Aa! Her smile! And my eyes! Bro, I’m being blinded. Is it only me or is she really shining that brightly?
I was going to ask the same thing!
In their eyes, she was magnified as a hundred times more pretty. Even if they are guards so what! In the end, they are still men and men cannot help but appreciate a kind and beautiful girl.
Nana was wondering why haven’t they gone to inform Mrs. Liu yet.
Finally, they snapped out of it and one of them went to notify Lu Huian.
She was busy looking at the venue when someone called.
“Nana.”, Liu Huian called.
She turned. “Hello Mrs. Liu –”, and she stiffened.
Liu Jinhai. He is also here. Why wouldn’t he be? It’s his wedding anniversary celebration too. So stupid.
She didn’t how to face him, so she just politely bowed.
Liu Jinhai recalled her pale face. Her trembling shoulders. He had reflected quite a lot yesterday and found his behavior to be unfair.
“Let’s go inside. We’ll discuss there.”
“Okay.”
Nana decided not to even look at Liu Jinhai today. It would become a problem if he again misunderstands her.
She followed behind Huian. And made sure to keep one arms distance from him.
Liu Jinhai’s eyes twitched seeing the obvious distance being made.
They settled down and Huian started with the discussion.
“So, Nana. In this event, we are inviting around 200 guests. There will be businessmen and CEOs of other companies coming too, who we have a tie-up with. Every guest should like food. This is a very special day and I don’t want anyone to mess up. Especially because this is the first time you are handling an event on such a huge scale.”
“Don’t worry Mrs. Liu. I will not give you any chance to regret”, she took her notepad from her bag. “I have made some menu options. Please take a look at it.”
She handed her the notepad.
Then she started laying out her plan.
“Mrs. Liu, for older groups of attendees, we can keep a milder menu, so that it won’t be too hard or spicy for them.
Nowadays, many people are on a diet as well, so for them, we can keep more seafood and vegetarian options open.
And young to middle-aged people generally prefer spicy food, so we can include them on the menu too. But too much spicy is still not good for children’s health, so for them will keep in proportion, so that it would still be tasty and delicious for them.
We will keep three appetizer dishes, three entrée dishes for which I suggest as any two kinds of meat and one pasta or rice dishes.
Also, we will keep three to four salad dressing options for the salad course. As for dessert, we can have one indulgent option, and another one as healthy for guests who are more health-conscious.
We can have a variety of cuisines like Chinese, French and Italian.
Also, can I ask you to give me a list of guests who may have any food allergies or intolerances or who follow veganism? I will make special arrangements for them.
So, Mrs. Liu. How do you find my plan?”
She finished.
Both Liu Jinhai and Huian were silent for the whole time they heard her speak. And they were very impressed.
Huian understood that she cannot be underestimated because she runs a small restaurant. Even if her experience is limited, her knowledge is certainly not.
To the point that she specifically asked for guests who may have conditions towards certain types of food, it clearly meant that she was very dedicated and very concerned and caring about others’ health.
Liu Jinhai also didn’t expect that she would think about so many minute considerations. She really loved her job.
“That’s fantastic Nana. I never thought you would come so prepared. Apart from some food choices I personally would like to have, everything else can be done as you said.”
