Chapter 373 - 345: The Only One Who Defeats Us Is Ourselves
Uncle Li returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and his fingertips clumsily slid over the dial keys.
There was a quick series of crisp beeps from the other end, followed by the gentle voice of Director Liang Yinqiu: "Hello, this is Dorami Kindergarten. I’m Liang Yinqiu. How can I help you?"
Uncle Li cleared his throat with a smile and replied, "Hello, Director Liang. This is Uncle Li, the gatekeeper. There’s a sweet-looking young female streamer at the gate. She says she’s the school exploration streamer Jiang Shuihan and wants to come in to film our kindergarten’s environment and features. Do you think we should let her in for filming?"
There was a brief silence on the other end, along with the sound of typing. Uncle Li could clearly feel that Liang Yinqiu was contemplating the matter carefully.
He did not disturb her but waited quietly.
After a moment...
Liang Yinqiu’s voice rang out again: "Alright, Uncle Li, please let this school exploration streamer in. I’ll come down to meet her right away."
Initially, when she heard the other person was a streamer, she was somewhat hesitant and didn’t intend to grant her request to enter the kindergarten.
But after reconsidering...
She realized that as a school exploration streamer, it would greatly benefit the promotion of their kindergarten’s visibility and image.
After further online searches and watching related live stream videos, her impression changed. She found the streamer’s broadcasting style warm and friendly, with thorough content and deep insights into the field of education.
Therefore, she changed her mind.
Uncle Li nodded and replied, "Alright, Director Liang. Also, there’s a young man at the gate who says he’s here to see Chef Huang to express his gratitude."
Liang Yinqiu sounded a bit puzzled: "Express gratitude to Chef Huang?"
Uncle Li explained, "Yes, he mentioned that last month at the lakeside scenic area, he had thoughts of ending his life, and it was Chef Huang’s lamb skewers that gave him the courage to face life again. So he came specifically to thank Chef Huang."
Hearing this, Liang Yinqiu remembered the incident and nodded: "Oh, I understand. Please let that young man in, too. I’ll personally attend to him."
"Alright, Director Liang, I will relay the message to them."
Uncle Li nodded and, after hanging up the phone, stepped out of the security room and turned his gaze to Jiang Shuihan and Lu Pengfei, who were waiting. He said warmly, "Alright, young lady and young man, our Director Liang has agreed to let you in. She will personally come down shortly to bring you in. Please wait here for a moment!"
"Ah, okay, thank you, sir! I’m sorry for the trouble this time."
Jiang Shuihan said with a face full of gratitude.
In her heart, she felt that Uncle Li was quite nice, and she developed a good impression of the unseen Director Liang, feeling that she was not only understanding but also very kind, able to comprehend and grant her request.
Lv Pengfei felt the same!
The two quietly waited at the entrance, eagerly anticipating Liang Yinqiu’s quick arrival to take them inside.
...
At the TV station.
"Cai Qinyu, you don’t look too good. Are you feeling unwell?" Brother Qin noticed Cai Qinyu resting her chin on her hand, looking unwell, and asked with concern.
Cai Qinyu replied listlessly, "No, it’s just hunger..."
Brother Qin sighed softly with a self-deprecating yet sympathetic expression, murmuring, "I haven’t had breakfast either. To be honest, ever since I tasted Chef Huang’s food, everything else seems to have lost its appeal."
"I’ve felt the same!" Cai Qinyu responded with a bitter smile, "Ah! Let’s get to work, and quickly edit tonight’s broadcast content, or else we’ll get criticized."
Brother Qin nodded in agreement and continued working.
As the two buried themselves in work...
Cai Qinyu’s phone suddenly buzzed.
She looked down, a hint of surprise flashing on her face.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed, "Chef Huang is trending again!"
Brother Qin raised his head at once, filled with curiosity: "Oh? What’s the reason this time?"
Cai Qinyu quickly turned her phone screen to Brother Qin, pointing at the trending topic: "Brother Qin, look, #Redeeming Light of the Suicidal, Lamb Skewers#..."
Brother Qin leaned in for a look, shock written all over his face: "Amazing, my Chef Huang! He can turn someone back to life and find hope with just a few lamb skewers."
At this point, surrounding colleagues, hearing their exclamations, gathered around out of curiosity.
They looked at the trending topic on the phone screen, expressing their amazement with endless discussions.
"Wow, this chef is trending again, and it’s because of food!"
"I mean, how delicious must those lamb skewers be to entice someone with suicidal thoughts?"
"This chef is impressive, trending twice in one day! Both times at the top!"
Director Jin just walked in and saw everyone gathered around. He approached out of curiosity.
He glanced at the phone screen and smiled: "What are you guys watching that’s so lively?"
Brother Qin looked up, excitedly saying, "Trending news! Dorami Kindergarten’s Chef Huang is trending again!"
Director Jin curiously took the phone for a look and was astonished.
"Is the lamb skewer from Dorami Kindergarten’s Chef Huang that powerful?"
He then turned to Brother Qin and Cai Qinyu, curiously asking, "I remember you guys have visited Dorami Kindergarten several times. You must have tasted Chef Huang’s cooking, right? Is it as magical as the internet says?"
