Chapter 624: Hotpot
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“No...” The man’s face was ashen and he looked utterly dejected, but he knew deep down that his career, in a sense, had come to an end!
He had all brought it upon himself!
He looked at the director with resentment. Clearly, the director was at fault too but why was he the only one being made to leave?
Some of the lower-level executives were also secretly dissatisfied. The matter regarding Li Jianyu wasn’t too bad and Ruan Qing’s resignation could be blamed on the station manager.
However,he had to pay the price for it too.
In the next second...
The next moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open. A document from the higher-ups were delivered to them.
The content was regarding the replacement of Muyao TV’s station manager!
In an instant...
There was an uproar all around!
The station director who had just fired someone else was stunned. He never thought he would be fired too!

In the manor.
The preparation of the hotpot may be a little difficult for others, but it was a piece of cake for Xiang Yi.
Firstly, it was because of the abundance of agricultural produce of the Little Rabbit Farms and secondly, it was because of the wide range of seasonings that can be bought in the market. Thirdly, it was because the soup stock she had at home was just as good as the soup served in various established hotpot restaurants.
Soon, Xiang Yi made several large hotpot bases.
There was spicy butter soup and tomato soup in each of the compartments of the double-soup pot.
The four-grid pot contained wild mushroom soup, seafood soup, green pepper soup, and clear soup.
Meanwhile the nine-grid pots contained traditional Sichuan-style spicy soup and they adopted the cooking style of “same soup base, different temperature”.
Each compartment of the pot had a different temperature, with the middle compartment being the hottest since it was placed directly above the fire. It was suitable for cooking crispy food and food that require shorter cooking times.
The heat that was used to boil the soup in the compartments at the side was weaker but much more even. Hence they were more suitable for slow-cooking or warming foods up.
The four compartments in the corners had a milder temperature, which was suitable for slow-cooking and making food tender and flavorful.
The boys of Team Logic took the initiative to pack up the extra tables.
There were many people of various ages today, so Xiang Yi didn’t arrange for all of them to be seated at the same table but rather, she left it to them to pick their own seats according to their preferences.
In the end, the boys chose to sit in front of the nine-grid pot. They weren’t particular about it and were sitting cross-legged around the coffee table, drenched in sweat because of the smoke and heat from the hotpot.
The few other people chose the double-soup pot and sat at the table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a beautiful scenery to enjoy, the company of friends, and Director Li who had secretly sneaked in for a free meal...
The netizens were all making remarks and thinking to themselves that they had never seen a director with such a huge appetite!
‘Are you here to film a variety show or to eat something!?!’
On the other hand, Xiang Yi, Old Master Fang, and the other old men sat in front of the four-grid pot with Shi Sui’s company. Xiang Yi didn’t eat much herself. Instead, she was quietly cooking food for the entire table like a waitress.
...
At first, everyone felt that eating hotpot was all for the atmosphere rather than taste.
However, when they ate the cooked food...
Huh?
‘Huh???!!!’
‘Damn!’
‘This lamb is so tender and fresh!’

This chicken roll is so fragrant after it absorbed the wild mushroom soup!!
In addition, the sesame sauce was fragrant but not greasy while the Shacha sauce was sweet, spicy and salty. The soya sauce and chili powder was fragrant and spicy...
Xiang Yi paired the cooked vegetables with several types of sauces. There were also lots of other ingredients and delicious soup base!
How! Delectable!
The boys were moving their chopsticks quickly while Director Li snatched the food as quickly as he could. As soon as the ingredients were cooked, they would be distributed immediately.
Even Old Master Fang, who was extremely knowledgeable, was charmed by the hotpot.
Old Master Yun said, “My beloved disciple, why don’t you come back with me, so that I can teach you the art of medicine!?”
Elder Jing, “Beloved disciple, ignore him. I can’t let you be tired, I can come to your house to teach you!”
Old Mr. Fang stroked his beard and ate to his heart’s content.
He said slowly and leisurely, “Disciple, I’m recently struggling to find a place where I can meditate and study the art of medicine. I wonder if you would be willing to take me in for a few days?”
Old Master Yun and Old Master Jing were dumbfounded.
‘Ew! Shameless old man!!!’
