Chapter 122 - Finding a friend at the new place.

Outside the main branch of Sweet Delicacy, Jingling City

Li Xue\'s cab came to halt outside a beautiful building which looked more like a sweet café than any dessert shop. She has been working in Sweet Delicacy as a dessert chef for more than 4 years now and has always heard how marvellous was the architecture of its main head branch in the country\'s capital.

But never had any opportunity to visit. Earlier when she left this city 5 years ago there was no \'Sweet Delicacy\'. It was said that the dessert brand was adopted by Feng Internationals from a very small unknown village in the north. The recipes of the sweets and desserts created there was very rare and creative.

The identity of the previous owner was still unknown in the industry but the stories about her were still printed in many books to inspire the upcoming generation of aspirant dessert chefs. The news said that the chef died after a fire broke out in her station\'s kitchen but there was no evidence of her corpse found at the scene.

\'Joining desserts with emotions\' was the slogan followed from the beginning but none chef was able to bring justice to the thoughts behind it. Desserts that were sold under the brand of Sweet Delicacy were the best in the count and also ranked under the category of top 10 around the world. But still, the foundation of emotions got lost.

Pushing the door open to step out of the car, Li Xue breathed in the sweet aroma in the air that could easily make children as well as elder\'s mouth water. The fragrance of chocolate, roasted coffee with dry fruits, honey and a sharp tinge of cinnamon was creating a scrumptious air around the place, attracting everyone to check out something once.

"So this is the charm of capital city\'s well-known dessert brand \'Sweet Delicacy\'", she muttered under her breath as her lips curled up to give a smile of strength and confidence.? Setting her foot ahead, she took her strong determined steps inside.

The environment inside was as soft as it looked from outside. All calm and sweet. The interior designing for the customers inside was made much like a unis.e.x fantasy land that looked both beautiful and adventurous. The theme colours selected were also fitting the décor.

As she entered, a light, familiar, bubbly voice greeted her first "Li Xue!!!". The woman was also shocked. Wasn\'t this a new workplace for her, then how come people still know her. She turned to look at her side to who had called her and as she did her eyes showed hints of surprise in it.

"Mia!" she greeted in a little shocked tone, whereas the girl had already come forward to wrap her arms around her in an amicable hug.

"Li Xue, finally you are here. I missed you so much but I am happy that from now on I will be working with you", the young girl said. Her lips not giving up the smile of her happiness. Mia was the same bubbly girl Li Xue had met at Feng Internationals.

"I am also happy to see you here but why are you here? Weren\'t you working at one of the company\'s franchise restaurants?" she asked. She then looked around to find other people but there was no one. Since it was still opening hours of the day, there weren\'t any customers. Few waiters were doing their job of setting up the tables and chairs at the proper places but it still felt weird.

It should not be this way. She was not just any employee joining the team but ahead dessert chef. According to the organization code, there should be people coming to greet her with a manager heading the row but here she was getting none. It was not like she cared for such a show or honour but it still felt weird.

"Yes, I was working for some other restaurant before but after assisting you at that lunch I was asked if I want to assist you in the future. I accepted the glorious offer and here I am" Mia cleared with a jumping voice of excitement but paused when she saw Li Xue\'s eyes wandering around in search of something.

"Li Xue, I am here to welcome you. Why are you still looking around? Are you not happy to find me here" she asked with a pout, trying her best to make Li Xue forget about other people.

Li Xue looked at her and shook her head, "Of course not. I am happy that at least there is someone here whom I know or else it would have been tough for me. Furthermore, I am happy that you chose me again". She said. Leaving a flourishing restaurant behind to get into a dessert shop has its own disadvantages. Not like the Sweet Delicacy was any less in comparison to those restaurants but the scope in the fields was different.

But little did she have any clue that by joining her in Sweet Delicacy, Mia was not at any losing end rather new gates of profits and offers had been opened for her. Feng Shufen has himself decided to keep her as an assistant that could always accompany and assist Li Xue around. By agreeing to join her only brought Mia to high salary and incentives.

Mia nodded with a smile as she added, "Hehe … I know how to choose people and teams. Apart from that, it\'s not for only profit but I also chose you for my own. With you around, I never lack confidence and motivation at work. So of course, even if I have offered any disadvantages I would still have chosen you. But here I was given a pay rise with comparatively more incentives annually. How can I not choose you?"

"Really? That\'s good! Congratulations! Now it\'s already time we need to get back to work. Where is everyone?" Li Xue asked, not forgetting that still, she needed to report her joining to the Executive Chief of the dessert store.

"That … Li Xue, don\'t mind them. They still don\'t know you so they might not be so friendly like me. Remember, what I said back then. These people always ignore the newcomers, looking down on their skills and lack of experience. So don\'t mind them. They will realize their mistakes themselves as those chefs did before. Okay?" Mia said with an expression of slight hesitation and sympathy in her eyes.
