Little Jing wasn’t able to wait for the ice cream because the Elder Princess wanted to know the conclusion of his discussion with Xia Chunyu and got someone to call him back.

The next day at work, the entire Heavenly Residence was buzzing when Ye Jiayao showed the token she received yesterday.

The staff was amazed that Li Yao has already achieved so much and he has even yet to join the culinary competition. Being a chef of the imperial kitchen, especially for someone so young and new, was not an easy feat. The only way to even qualify there was ranking high in the culinary competition. Even the low-level helpers would still need to pass the imperial kitchen’s strict and rigorous test and would have to wait about 10 years to match with an imperial chef.

Everyone knew that Brother Yao was very skillful but the speed of his rise was a little scary. He practically did it overnight!

“Wow! Heavenly Residence has an imperial chef now! If word gets out, the restaurant will be packed with customers…” Deng Haichuan said proudly.

“If anyone asks for the imperial chef to cook for them, they’d have to pay more,” Cui Dongpeng added laughingly.

“Brother Yao, does this mean that you can enter the palace whenever you like?” someone asked.

Ye Jiayao explained, “No, it’s not like that. It’s just the permission to enter the imperial kitchen to make royal meals if the palace summons me.”

“That is impressive!” Deng Haichuan exclaimed happily.

“Li Yao, Shopkeeper Li wants to see you,” Manager Qian called.

Zhong Xiang watched Li Yao disappear upstairs, his emotions a mess. He wasn’t feeling jealous as he has been long convinced of Li Yao’s superb culinary skills. However, the ever-growing distance between him and Li Yao was making him uncomfortable. He felt as though Li Yao has risen so quickly and so highly that he left nothing but smoke behind.

Shopkeeper Li couldn’t help but bemoan his luck. If he knew that these consecutive fortunate events would happen, he never would have sold the restaurant. He couldn’t stop blaming himself for being so short-sighted and cowardly.

“Shopkeeper Li,” Ye Jiayao greeted with a smile.

“Li Yao, take a sit.”

Ye Jiayao sat obediently.

“Today, there will be a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce. Go with me,” Shopkeeper Li started, looking at this energetic youth before him. Shopkeeper Li still could not believe how someone of his age became an imperial chef.

“Are there some rough ideas for the culinary competition?” Ye Jiayao asked.

Shopkeeper Li nodded. “Today’s meeting will touch on the specific plan and if everyone agrees, we will set it down. Go with me to hear it out so you can also mentally prepare.”

Ye Jiayao acquiesced cheerfully. She’d finally be able to meet all the big shots in Jin Ling’s food and beverage industry.

“There is also something else that I want to discuss with you. Now that your status is different, I think the private rooms on the third story should increase in price. How much do you think it should be?” Shopkeeper Li asked.

“Also, you’ll have a pay raise. I will pay you according to the rank of a head chef, 50 taels a month. There will also be a bonus from time to time.”

Ye Jiayao smiled. “I am fine with anything, Shopkeeper, you can decide.”

Her earnings every day counted in thousands now so the salary and bonus really don’t matter to her.
