After Being an Improper Control Group as an Abandoned Wealthy Wife, She Effortlessly Came Out on Top

The work of a helper was relatively easy. Moreover, with so many of them, they would not find the tasks so strenuous.

They helped peel the garlic and potatoes, and washed the vegetables. After that, they even cleaned the canteen.

Without the task of cooking, the guests were soon free after finishing the first half of their duties.

The school cafeteria was very close to the field. There were students from different classes having physical education. The latter half of the physical education class happened to be free time.

Many students were playing basketball at the basketball court. There were also some playing JianZi and jumping rope. Everyone was laughing and playing together.

After seeing the basketball, Qi zhen started getting restless and his gaze was fixed on the basketball court. He thought that since he had nothing to do for the time being, he might as well go over and play with them for a while.

Seeing that Lu Jinsen happened to be beside him, he asked politely, "I'm going to play basketball with them. Do you want to go?"

Lu Jinsen frowned slightly. He wanted to refuse, but Qi Zhen's words happened to be heard by Meng Chuyuan.

Before Lu Jinsen could react, Meng Chuyuan interjected, "Go, go and play with them for a while."

Lu Jinsen: "…"

After Meng Chuyuan's interjection, Qi Zhen looked at him with even more anticipation, making it difficult for him to refuse.

[I want to ask, does Lu Jinsen know how to play basketball?]

[Look at his unhappy face. I don't think playing basketball is his forte. Hahaha.]

[I saw Young Master's mouth move just now. Was he going to reject the invitation before Sister Meng unintentionally interjected?]

[What?! Lu Jinsen doesn't know how to play basketball? What a waste of his height.]

[Who cares if he does or not? I just want to watch the handsome Qi Zhen play basketball.]

Lu Jinsen hesitated for a while, but in the end, he still went to the basketball court with Qi Zhen.

Coincidentally, a male student was shooting a hoop, but his ball deviated from the basket. Qi Zhen happened to be approaching and reached out to catch the basketball fearlessly.

Qi Zhen's actions attracted the attention of the students. Especially after seeing him catch the ball so effortlessly, they revealed shocked and envious gazes.

Qi Zhen walked over and returned the ball to the student who was shooting. He said gently, "Can I join you? We want to play basketball too."

They were short. When they looked at Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, they had to raise their heads almost as if they were looking at giants.

Hearing that they wanted to join, everyone nodded without hesitation. "Sure."

"Do you play guard?"

The person who spoke was the student who was holding the ball. He was slightly plump and looked chubby and cute. Among their classmates, he was the best.

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhen smiled and said in disbelief, "Wow, what year are you guys in? You know what a guard is at such a young age?"

"Third grade." He gestured with his hands.

Seeing that Lu Jinsen did not speak, the student looked up at him and directed the question to him, "Brother, do you know how to play as a guard too?"

Lu Jinsen glanced at him and said without changing his expression, "Who are you looking down on?"

[F*ck! Is Young Master so arrogant?]

[Y-Young Master made the little fatty speechless. Hahaha, his young heart has suffered ten thousand points of damage.]

[Brother, can you learn from Qi Zhen and be more patient with the little kid?]

[It's fine if he puts on a RBF every day, but he doesn't even restrain himself in front of children. Our Brother Qi Zhen is still the best. He's gentle in every way.]

When the Liao sisters saw Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen playing basketball, they also wanted to find something to do. Hence, the sisters targeted the female classmates who were playing JiaZi.

Liao Jiake glanced at Qi Yan and Meng Chuyuan and asked, "Are you two going to play JiaZi with us?"

"Thank you. I won't be going. I don't know how to play that." It was rare for her to have a break, so Qi Yan didn't want to follow them.

However, she did not expect Meng Chuyuan to reject Liao Jiake's invitation as well. "You guys go ahead."

Qi Yan did not really want to be in the same frame as Meng Chuyuan, but the production team had only opened three live-streams. One group was filming Lu Jinsen and Qi Zhen, and the other was filming the Liao sisters.

She acted moody and did not communicate with Meng Chuyuan in private.

However, Meng Chuyuan only stayed in the canteen for a while before she quickly got up and went to the kitchen.

When the director saw Meng Chuyuan leave, he gave the cameraman a look and asked him to follow her quickly.

After seeing Meng Chuyuan leave, Qi Yan was about to heave a sigh of relief until she saw the cameraman follow Meng Chuyuan.

Without the camera, Qi Yan's expression was very grim. She looked up at the director and asked suspiciously, "Director, why did my cameraman run away?"

The director didn't seem to hear her clearly and replied indifferently, "What do you mean by yours?"

Qi Yan panicked and emphasized again, "The cameraman! How am I going to be in the live-stream if he runs away?"

Although she did not want to be in the same frame as Meng Chuyuan, she did not say that she did not want to be in the live-stream.

"Oh, the live-stream." The director raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Why don't you go to the kitchen to take a look too?"

"Why should I go to the kitchen?"

"Then sit down and rest. Just wait for them to come back."

Qi Yan: "…"

Meng Chuyuan came to the kitchen at the right time. She knew that the chef might be cooking now, so she specially came to take a look.

She walked into the kitchen and glanced at the amount of food prepared. Then, she looked at the chef and said, "Uncle, there are usually only two of you in charge of the kitchen. Can the both of you handle the workload?"

When the chef heard this, he smiled and said to her, "There's no problem with two people. We always use a big pot. Usually, we can finish cooking in two batches."

After all, the kitchen was only so big and the stoves were limited, so it was useless even if there was an additional chef.

Meng Chuyuan asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

She had nothing to do anyway, so she wanted to find something to do.

[Who said that Sister Meng only knows how to slack around? She knows how to help when help is needed. Y'all don't know how hardworking she is. She's simply a little angel on earth, okay?]

[Sister Meng: Although I didn't manage to join the cooking team, I can do something else.]

[It can be seen that Sister Meng is very concerned about this mission.]

[Ahhh, I'm once again mesmerized by Sister Meng. If this continues, there might really be a problem with my sexual orientation.]

The cook thought for a while, then said, "You can help make two pots of regular soup."

"Okay." Meng Chuyuan immediately washed the pot of soup skillfully. "What should I put inside the soup?" 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡．𝙤𝒓𝙜

"Make a pot of seaweed egg soup and a pot of bone winter melon soup. Keep it simple. The eggs and seaweed are in the cabinet below."

"Understood."

Meng Chuyuan filled both pots with water and connected them to an electrical outlet. Then, she washed the bones clean. The winter melon was cut into pieces and placed into the pot to cook. Then, she soaked the seaweed in the basin. Finally, she beat a few eggs into a bowl and stirred them evenly.

…

Originally, the chef wanted to teach her how to do it. He did not expect Meng Chuyuan's movements to be so skilled. People could tell at a glance that she was a veteran.

Although it was just an ordinary soup, Meng Chuyuan was not perfunctory in cooking it. Not only did she remove the fishy smell from the seaweed egg soup, but she also added a few red dates to the winter melon soup. This way, the soup would taste sweeter.
