Chapter 680: 675 Xiao Fang’s Heartbeat Moments

But even if he really wanted to enter this line of work, he would at least have to wait until all his recent business dealings were taken care of.

Otherwise, he would not consider it; dealing with these matters would simply be torturing himself.

After he left, Gu Chen didn’t do much; after tidying up, it soon turned to afternoon.

At this time, since most of the bar staff were at work, Gu Chen hurried to the bar to start updating the menu.

Today, all the food in the bar could finally be put on the menu.

For him, the one thing he was curious about today was how much sales volume they could generate.

Linking the bar with the restaurant could produce profits that were far from a small sum.

And just at that moment, Xiao Fang suddenly arrived, showing more initiative than Gu Chen had expected.

After her arrival, her face was filled with smiles, seemingly very interested in what was to come.

At this time, Gu Chen looked at her and said, "How about you try cooking a few dishes later, so I can see how much you’ve learned."

As soon as he had finished speaking, Xiao Fang appeared very nervous.

"Boss, I don’t think I’m ready yet, I don’t really know anything, I haven’t been learning for very long."

She quickly said to Gu Chen with a look of fear on her face, looking truly incapable.

"Don’t you remember what I told you? You need to try first; you will only know if you can do it after you have tried. Maybe you can do it, but if you don’t even try, you will always be afraid."

He said this very patiently to Xiao Fang, and after hearing it, her face seemed to become relieved, or perhaps it was as if she had come to a realization.

"Boss, then I’ll give it a try. I really don’t know if I can make it or not."

In this period, it wasn’t that she had never cooked before, but there had never been such a formal moment for her to really cook.

Encouraged by Gu Chen, Xiao Fang began to try for the first time in front of him.

Initially, the young girl was somewhat nervous, but for some reason, as if born to be a chef, once she started handling the ingredients, everything seemed to come naturally to her, and her face no longer showed any signs of anxiety.

Seeing her this way, Gu Chen also wore a satisfied smile on his face.

He wasn’t worried about Xiao Fang being slow; as long as she was willing to work hard, that was what mattered. But now that Xiao Fang was showing such cleverness, of course, it was a good thing.

She made a very simple tofu dish.

Gu Chen picked up his chopsticks and tasted a bit, not holding much hope initially since it was meant to be a practice run.

But to his surprise, when he actually tasted it, he found that Xiao Fang’s dish was quite well done.

This left him feeling incredibly astonished.

"Xiao Fang, what you’ve made is pretty good," he said without stinginess in his praise and directly addressed her.

When Xiao Fang heard Gu Chen’s praise, a smile immediately spread across her face.

"Really? Boss, you’re not just comforting me, are you?" Xiao Fang looked somewhat incredulous at this time, as if she were very negative about herself.

"Why would I lie to you? You don’t believe it, you can taste for yourself, the flavor is actually quite good, surprisingly so," Gu Chen hurriedly said.

Seeing Gu Chen’s serious expression, she felt that Gu Chen was probably not joking.

In an instant, her face was filled with smiles.

"Really? Thank you, Boss, for encouraging me, I will definitely work harder!" she said to Gu Chen at that moment.

"Silly girl, I’m not just trying to encourage you, you’re genuinely doing well, understand?"

Gu Chen said this to her with a laugh at that moment.

When Gu Chen said these words, he truly hadn’t thought too much into it, he just wanted to casually compliment her, mainly to spur her on.

But, to his surprise, right after Gu Chen finished speaking, he could visibly see Xiao Fang’s face suddenly turn red, so flushed that it was inexplicably striking.

Initially, Gu Chen hadn’t paid much attention to it. But as he saw her blushing face, he suddenly realized he might have prompted a bit of trouble.

He didn’t know if he was just overly self-confident, but Xiao Fang’s expression was indeed very strange.

So strange that Gu Chen didn’t know what to say.

Moreover, Gu Chen was very clear that he couldn’t broach this kind of matter; if he did, it would be really inappropriate.

"Xiao Fang, you must continue to excel in cooking. How does that saying go? ’To catch a man’s heart, you must first catch his stomach,’

Once you get married and find a husband, with your culinary skills, you’ll conquer him without a doubt."

Gu Chen could only find a different way to say this to her.

He didn’t know whether Xiao Fang understood what he meant, but he felt he had made it quite clear.

But obviously, what he was thinking and what Xiao Fang was thinking were completely different.

When Xiao Fang heard this, her face suddenly turned a deeper shade of red, quite mystifyingly.

This left Gu Chen at a loss for words, leaving him no choice but to stand there, staring at her, dumbfounded.

"Boss, you’re really annoying."

Gu Chen truly hadn’t expected her to suddenly come out with that remark.

Initially, he thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, but after Xiao Fang’s comment, he suddenly realized that his previous statement could be construed as quite flirtatious.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to describe his current state of confusion.

"About this, Xiao Fang, let’s focus on work, let’s prioritize work," he said, exhaling deeply as he spoke to her.

After hearing this, Xiao Fang nodded her head, yet when she looked at Gu Chen, her expression was distinctly different from before.

"I’ll go out first to prepare some ingredients. You clean up here."

Gu Chen could only say this to her, and after uttering those words, he quickly made his exit.

He did not dare stay there any longer—who knew what else might happen if he did?

And at that moment, Xiao Fang sat there, a bit surprised, somewhat excitedly absorbed in studying the recipes.

After Gu Chen left the restaurant, he carefully contemplated the situation.

Causing such a misunderstanding with Xiao Fang was indeed his fault.

After knowing Xiao Fang for such a long time, Gu Chen really didn’t know what to say.

If he didn’t remember wrong, Xiao Fang should be aware that he was a married man.

Given this circumstance, still harboring other feelings for him left Gu Chen unsure of what to say for a while.

Already, there were plenty of rumors about him outside, and now if Xiao Fang started spreading any gossip regarding them within his own business, it would be a disaster.
