Chapter 740

Yana Norangel was in a good mood. The gloominess of being removed from the production team recently was swept away.

She smirked and said, “This is not enough to get her removed from the variety show. Contact a few marketing accounts and create more dirt on her. She’s currently ranked Seventeenth on the trending searches. After a small Fox, I want to see her being defamed as the number one trending topic.”

The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked, “Are you sure you want to do this? Everyone in the company is saying that… the sugar daddy behind Zara Wentworth is Mr. Swanson.”

“Mr. Swanson? Heh! That’s impossible! Don’t I know her? She only loves Ken Swanson unrequitedly. Besides, even if it’s true, will Mr. Swanson stand up for Zara Wentworth after the matter blows up? She’s not worthy.”

“But…”

“Cut the crap! Hurry up and go, or else…” Yana Norangel narrowed his eyes threateningly. “Recently, I’ve lost a few branded bags at home. Don’t think I don’t know that you took them.”

The assistant was shocked and did not dare to say anything else. She immediately contacted the marketing account.

Seeing this, Yana Norangel leisurely poured herself a glass of red wine and scrolled through the online insults against Zara Wentworth in satisfaction.

Soon, under the push of the marketing account, in less than 10 minutes, Zara Wentworth was defamed to the top of the trending searches.

Yana Norangel flipped through the overwhelming dirt and deliberately ‘slipped’ to like one of the most realistic ones. Then, she quickly canceled it.

However, this action was immediately captured by the marketing account. The netizens immediately thought that the scandal was real, so Yana Norangel liked it.

However, Zara Wentworth still did not know what had happened online. She was chatting and laughing with Dorrene Downey and Melody Fox as they gave free bags of pasta for tomorrow.

“Melody, where did you learn to cook? If pasta can cook so well, your culinary skills must be very good too.”

Dorrene Downey also looked curiously at Melody Fox.

Melody Fox’s lips curved into a smile. She did not stop moving her hands as she said, “Do you know a person called Fu Jie? I learned my culinary skills from him.”

Dorrene Downey shook his head in confusion. However, Zara Wentworth’s pupils dilated as he asked in shock, What?! The person who taught you cooking is called Fu Jie?” Melody Fox nodded. “That’s right.”

Back then, Fu Jie was seriously ill and went to her master for treatment. Her master did not accept any money, but in exchange, he asked him to stay and cook for three months. He also wanted to teach her how to cook.

In order to survive, Fu Jie agreed immediately, and his master had indeed cured his illness.

His master’s original intention was to improve her culinary skills so that he could eat delicious food every day. He did not expect this skill to be even more useful after leaving the countryside.

“But didn’t Fu Jie say long ago that their family has a family rule that they can only pass on their culinary skills to the Fu family’s descendants?”

It was not that Zara Wentworth did not believe Melody Fox, but Fu Jie was too famous in Halcyon.

Although she had not heard from him since he fell sick, she had heard of the Fu family’s rules.

Melody Fox’s surname was Fox, and it had nothing to do with the Fu family.

Melody Fox said meaningfully, “In the face of death, any family rules are useless.”

“What does that mean?”

Melody Fox shrugged. “You don’t have to know that. Just take it as a joke.”

The more Dorrene Downey listened, the more confused she became. She pulled Zara Wentworth and asked, “Zara, is this Fu Jie very powerful?”

“He’s more than amazing. He can be said to be our Halcyon’ s best chef. His ancestors cooked imperial meals for the royal family. When it spread to Fu Jie’s generation, it could be said that the Halcyon’s eight major cuisines were brought to greater heights. I heard that he only served Fox national banquets to Halcyon. Those so-called Michelin- born chefs could only serve coffee to him.”

“So amazing? No wonder Miss Fox’s pasta filling is so delicious!”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ve already wrapped up most of the 100 servings of pasta tomorrow. Let Momma Talia do the rest. You guys have been busy for the entire day. Hurry up and go back to rest. Remember to bring a few packets of pasta back to freeze. You can eat when you’re hungry tonight.”

Zara Wentworth and Dorrene Downey nodded repeatedly. Okay, okay, okay!”

Having tasted the pasta, they wished they could eat Melody Fox’s cooking three times a day.

Just as Zara Wentworth was about to bring pasta back, her phone suddenly rang.

She looked at the caller ID and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

It was actually Thomas Bush, the manager that the company had recently changed for her.

Didn’t they say that she had no schedule before the variety show started? Why would Thomas Bush, who didn’t like to talk to her, suddenly look for her?

Perturbed, Zara Wentworth pressed the answer button. “Hello, Thomas?”

The other party snorted and said sarcastically, “Thomas?! can’t afford to be called brother by you!”

Zara Wentworth had a bad feeling.

“Thomas, don’t joke with me. Did something happen?”

“So you really don’t know?”

Zara Wentworth lowered herself as much as possible and said carefully, “Please tell me clearly that I’m stupid.”

“You’re indeed stupid! Go online and take a look yourself! It’ s all your fault. The entire Internet is scolding you now. After reading it, hurry up and go back to the company!”

Thomas Bush was furious and hung up the phone.

“Thomas, calm down.”

Yana Norangel happened to walk behind Thomas Bush’s office door. He took a few steps forward and massaged Thomas Bush’s shoulders before slowly massaging his temples.

Only then did Thomas Bush feel a little better. He gritted his teeth and said, “This idiot. She’s already not popular with the passersby, but she still has to cause trouble for me at this juncture! In the past, she was not under my control. Why is she as stupid as she is now? Now that I’ ve just taken over her, she’s already caused such a scene. What will others think of me? Won’t they still think that it’s all my fault?”

Yana Norangel quickly comforted him. “Thomas, you’re thinking too much. Others definitely won’t think that way. You’re already a veteran agent. No one will blame you if something happens to a newbie who just took off this year.” Thomas Bush took a deep breath and said, “No matter what, I’ve already arranged a press conference for her. When she comes over later to discuss the details, we’ll hold a press conference and ask her to apologize!”

“Apologize?” Yana Norangel pretended to be surprised and asked, “Isn’t that the same as admitting to the dirt on the Internet?”

Thomas Bush massaged his temples and said, “Of course, we won’t admit to the dirt. What I asked her to apologize for is that she took on a job on her own and stood up for a medical center’s platform pasta. Damn, she’s really degrading!”

The more Thomas Bush thought about it, the angrier he became. His temples started throbbing again.

Seeing this, Yana Norangel took the opportunity to ask,” Thomas… If she suddenly causes such a thing, will she be unable to appear on the variety show that starts filming next month?”

“I don’t know yet,” Thomas Bush said with his eyes closed. We’ll have to see how things develop in the future. If everyone doesn’t buy it and continues to scold her, there’s a high chance that we’ll have to replace her.”

Thomas Bush suddenly looked at Yana Norangel and said, ” This has nothing to do with you, right?”
