Chapter 156 Seeing Through Your Tricks
This sentence is a double entendre.
First, he stood on Ji Qinglin's side and tried to please him, and then he hinted that if Ji Qinglin didn't have strong abilities, he would have gotten the job as the head chef through the backdoor.
If this gets out, people from other departments of Chang Xiangsi will inevitably gossip about it.
If Ji Qinglin had not seen the little tricks behind Li Ziming's back, she really would not have been able to see through the conspiracy, but she did not interrupt the conversation between Li Ziming and Meng Wei, but just stood by and watched how they acted.
"Student Li, even though we're classmates, you can't speak against your conscience." Meng Wei's face was filled with bitterness, as if he had suffered a great injustice. "This shredded pork with hot peppers is really not tasty."
Li Ziming cleared his throat and put on the airs of a manager. "Mr. Meng, why don't you give me some face and let this go? I just started working today, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Meng Wei pondered for a moment, then sighed. "Alright. For your sake, I won't pursue the matter."
"Haha, thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink later." Li Ziming thought to himself, since he defended Ji Qinglin like this, Ji Qinglin should change his opinion of him, right?
"Okay, I'll leave first."
"You can't go!"
Just when Meng Wei was about to leave, Ji Qinglin stopped him.
Li Ziming and Meng Wei's expressions changed and they looked at her in confusion, wondering what she wanted to do.
"Chef Ji, I have won the customer's forgiveness for you. Can we just leave it at that?" Li Ziming persuaded.
Ji Qinglin glanced at Li Ziming and sneered. "Li Ziming, are you going to use such a clichéd trick again? Didn't your heroic rescue of the damsel in distress teach you a lesson?"
Li Ziming's face instantly darkened when his old wounds were exposed.
He still feels a dull pain all over his body, and he is afraid that he will never forget this humiliation in his lifetime.
"You let Meng Wei come here to make trouble and deliberately stir up trouble, and then you come forward to settle it and solve the problem for me." Ji Qinglin's words made Li Ziming's face gradually turn red. It seemed that he had been hit by his little thoughts.
"When the time comes, I will be grateful to you, is that right?"
"No!" Li Ziming would never admit it, "I didn't even know Meng Wei was coming."
"Yes, I came here on a whim." Meng Wei agreed.
But when they sang the same tune, even Wang Shanshan, who was standing next to them, felt that the two of them were suspicious.
However, Ji Qinglin didn't care about that. Instead, he looked at Meng Wei. "You said my stir-fried pork with chili peppers wasn't tasty. So, tell me, what was wrong with it? Was it because it was too old, too salty, or too bland?"
"I, I'm not a gourmet, how would I know these things? In short, it just doesn't taste good." Faced with Ji Qinglin's questioning, Meng Wei was a little panicked. He couldn't explain why, so he had to just keep saying that it didn't taste good.
"I'm just wondering, even a child knows the difference between salty and sweet. Don't you think it's ridiculous that you, an adult, can't even tell the difference?"
"I just can't tell what's wrong? Is it illegal?" Meng Wei felt that as long as he refused to admit it, Ji Qinglin couldn't do anything to him.
Li Ziming also gave him a look, telling him to just keep on denying it. Taste is basically very subjective. As long as he insisted that it was not delicious, Ji Qinglin would be helpless.
However, Ji Qinglin saw through all his tricks.
I'm afraid it's impossible to take down Ji Qinglin through ordinary means.
