Chapter 316 The Military’s Patissier

Yun Zirou stood up and said something that stunned the manager.

He turned around stiffly and looked at Yun Zirou. “What nonsense are you talking about? A patissier who can join the military wants to be an apprentice?”

Yun Zirou pointed behind her and said, “She is the patissier who was specially recruited by the military and is here to learn some dessert-making techniques so that she can better develop in the military.”

The manager looked at Liu Yi, who showed an embarrassed smile.

“She looks like she’s forty, right? You’re only at the level of an apprentice, and you say you are going to join the military? If you’re here to fool me, you should at least devise a better lie.”

Yun Zirou’s sharp eyes met the manager’s.

“I’m the daughter of the Yun family in Cloud City, Yun Zirou! I swear on my family’s reputation that she already has a spot to join the military!”

The manager was intimidated by Yun Zirou’s words; he looked at her carefully and nodded.

‘I know you. You’re indeed from the Yun family, but you must have been deceived too. She can’t be the patissier the military has set its eyes on, she must be a con artist!”

He still refused to believe it, and the situation was awkward.

Liu Yi pulled on Lu Yu’s arm and said, “Forget it. I’ll go back and find some online tutorials.”

Lu Yu looked at the manager and asked weakly, “Are you sure about rejecting us? You’re not the only top confectionery in Ixdale.”

The manager chuckled. “Are you threatening me? Forget it! I won’t send you off, so go off to some other places for your shenanigans!”

Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou. “Let’s go; we’re not welcome here.”

Yun Zirou glared at the manager. “Why don’t you believe me? I already said I would stake my family’s reputation as a guarantee!”

She felt helpless as she couldn’t prove that Liu Mo had invited Liu Yi to join the military.

“Miss Yun, if she has the qualifications to join the military, I would be more than happy to have her join me. But obviously, this is impossible as she’s an apprentice.”

“The military only needs developed talents, not rookies!”

The five didn’t know what else they could say to convince him and turned around to leave. The others in the shop saw this and treated it as a joke.

At that moment, a shop assistant suddenly ran to the manager’s side and whispered, “Manager, that person doesn’t seem like an ordinary person.”

“Of course,” the manager said unhappily. “How can they be ordinary when they are con artists?”

Then, another shop assistant quickly ran over.

“Manager, I thought that person looked familiar. I finally remember who he is!”

He rushed over, took out his phone, and played a video.

The video was the live broadcast of the day Wan Guliu met up with Lu Yu.

The manager frowned and looked at the phone. “What’s this? What do you want me to see here?”

His eyes looked at the video, and his eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief when he saw Wan Guliu.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The person standing on the other side of the screen was Lu Yu, who had just been here!

The manager fast-forwarded to the scene of the badge being awarded.

Wasn’t that badge the one that Lu Yu was wearing?

His breathing quickened when he realized Wan Guliu had awarded this young man a third-class merit badge!

He knew this merit would allow Lu Yu to join the military as a first lieutenant, at the very least!

He had shooed away a future first lieutenant!

He instantly panicked. Seeing that Lu Yu and the others had not gone far, he sprinted over as hard as he could.

He quickly rushed out the entrance, stopping Lu Yu and the others.

“I’m sorry about what happened just now. I haven’t been paying much attention to the news recently, so I didn’t recognize you!”

“Didn’t you want her to join our confectionery as an apprentice? I agree wholeheartedly!”

“From now on, she will be our confectionery’s apprentice! I’ll send in the most knowledgeable master patissier here to teach her!”

He expressed with confidence. In Ixdale, his confectionery had the most experienced and skilled patissiers.

“Didn’t you just say that my aunt isn’t fit to be your apprentice?”

Hearing the word “aunt,” the manager panicked even more. He had just offended the family of a future first lieutenant!

He lowered his head and apologized to Liu Yi, “I’m really sorry for my blindness. I shouldn’t have done that!”

This apology made Liu Yi feel at a loss. The man before her was a wealthy, high-status man in Ixdale, while she was just an old leftover woman from a small place.

This apology gave her mental whiplash.

“It’s… it’s fine.”

The manager smiled warmly and continued, “That’s great! You’re now our confectionery’s apprentice, and we look forward to your coming here!”

Liu Yi let out a sigh of relief and nodded. “That’s lovely. I’m really lucky to be able to study in the country’s top confectionery.”

“You’re too kind. Yes, we’re one of the top confectioneries in the country, so don’t worry as you’ll learn the best dessert techniques here!”

“By the way, do you plan to live by yourself or in our staff dormitory? Of course, our staff dormitory is a luxury apartment building in the city center.”

If it were someone else who came to apply for a job here, he wouldn’t have asked. But the person in front of him wasn’t an ordinary person. She might have a villa in Ixdale that she could live in, and there would be no need to live in their staff dormitory then.

“I’ll live in the apartment you can arrange for us,” said Liu Yi with a smile.

She then looked at Lu Yu. “Yu, you should go back. Cultivate well and prepare for the upcoming university trial.

“Alright, we’ll head back first.”

Liu Yi nodded in response.

Lu Yu and his three friends reminded her while walking to the exit, “You stay here and study hard then. When someone from the military comes to pick you up, just follow them.”

Liu Yi smiled happily and said, “Don’t worry. I will take good care of myself.”

“We’ll take good care of her,” the manager added.

They had to pay close attention to an employee of such importance.

Lu Yu and his friends walked out of the confectionery and stood on the busy street.

“Brother Yu, let’s go back now. There are still many things to deal with at the club.”

“Let’s go to the teleportation node.”

The four called a taxi and headed to the teleportation node in Ixdale center.

Sitting in the taxi, Lu Yu turned on his phone and realized it was almost time for the upper house entrance trial. From tomorrow on, members qualified to take the trial could go to the upper houses for their preparations.

Lu Yu was a little excited by the news. The trial was finally here, and whether he could join the upper house would depend on this test.
