Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 1522 - 328, What a moron! (Third Watch)_3

Pfft!

Not only did Lin Yuan laugh, but even Shui Xian and Shuishui following behind her couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Lin Yuan smirked amusingly, thinking to herself that Tian Hui was really quite interesting. She hadn’t even entered the door when Tian Hui had already started talking to her about private savings.

However, before she could say anything else, Tian Hui suddenly said puzzledly, "Oh right, I’ve got something strange to tell you! The day Ah Zheng came back and talked about the engagement, Mother had someone check the storeroom to see the betrothal gifts, and guess what? Several items from the betrothal gifts had mysteriously disappeared! Later, Mother went to have a look herself only to find out that not only your betrothal gifts were gone, but several other items had gone missing too!"

Lin Yuan furrowed her brows and asked, "Were the lost items very valuable? Could it be an inside job by the person guarding the storeroom?"

Even as she asked this, she felt it wasn’t likely. From the incident with Tian Hui’s carriage before, it was clear that Princess Anle was very skilled at managing her servants; it wasn’t just about embezzlement—any found items would never be kept by someone as their own.

Tian Hui also shook her head, "It shouldn’t be that. Only Mother has the keys to the storeroom, and almost all the belongings of the General Mansion are stored there. Many valuable items were not lost; strangely, among those that were, some weren’t worth much."

Seeing Lin Yuan also puzzled, Tian Hui quickly changed the subject and laughed, "Look at me, why am I telling you these unpleasant things? Don’t worry, Mother said, whether we find those items or not, your betrothal gifts will all be accounted for. And you know, in the past couple of days, Ah Zheng has been keeping a close watch on the storeroom, insisting on catching that thief!"

"Sister Hui, I don’t really care about the betrothal gifts, whether there are more or fewer pieces, it really doesn’t matter."

Lin Yuan waved her hand with a smile, but she was quite interested in Xia Zheng’s pursuit of the thief; no wonder she hadn’t seen him these past days—he must have been busy laying traps at home to catch the thief!

As Lin Yuan and Tian Hui chatted, the young girls summoned by Shopkeeper Liu gradually arrived. With Shopkeeper Liu in charge, Lin Yuan managed to be lazy for a while longer, drinking tea and chatting with Tian Hui, and occasionally peering through the crack of the door at the girls who were registering.

There were about twenty or so people who came, each with a decent appearance. However, it takes more than just good looks to perform in the Tea Ceremony; the performers required a distinct quality that cannot be simply acquired through training.

Thus, she would have to carefully observe these women later on.

Her gaze flitted aimlessly over the women, and suddenly, one particularly distinctive individual caught Lin Yuan’s eye.

Lin Yuan set aside her teacup and observed the woman more intently.

The first thing that attracted Lin Yuan was this woman’s tranquil and uncompetitive aura, but upon closer inspection, she realized that the woman also had a slight sorrow and seemed to be older, probably in her thirties.

Plus, there was a little maid closely following the woman, whose temperament was notably less elegant than the woman’s. However, her eyes were very bright, a sign of a very smart young girl.

Lin Yuan’s interest grew stronger; it was clear that these two were master and servant. It was quite unusual to bring along a maid to look for a job!

"Miss, everyone has arrived; shall we..." The respectful voice of Shopkeeper Liu sounded from outside. Lin Yuan smiled slightly, "Alright, let’s begin!"

After that, Lin Yuan went into the hall with Tian Hui.

Only now, having left the room, did they realize how many people were actually there!

Tian Hui opened her mouth in surprise, murmuring softly, "So many people!"

Tian Hui had never been through anything like this before and today was her first time attending an interview process; it was natural to feel nervous.

Lin Yuan smiled softly, gently taking her hand to offer comfort, "Don’t worry, just relax."

Tian Hui nodded and smiled, "I’m not afraid, with you here there’s nothing to worry about!"

"Greetings to Princess Pingxi, greetings to Young Lady Xia."

Upon seeing Lin Yuan and Tian Hui, all the women bowed respectfully and greeted them.

Tian Hui nodded slightly, and Lin Yuan also said with a smile, "We’ll all be working together in the future, so there’s no need to be so formal. Just calling us Boss will do."

The women bowed again and chorused a well-agreed, "Alright."
