Biting the Pear Episode 85

Master's Still on 'Vacation' Today

Lao Zhou, the master of a breakfast shop, swore to take a 'real retirement' after training his apprentice Xiaoxia. But the next day, he showed up in sunglasses, claiming to 'buy soybean milk.' When Xiaoxia kneaded dough too weakly, he secretly held her hands to guide her; when a customer complained about thick wonton wrappers, he gestured 'twist three times' from behind the shelf. Xiaoxia grumbled, 'Master is busier than me,' but quietly left an extra sugar bun on the top of the steamer—Lao Zhou's favorite, even though he had high blood sugar. Until a rainy night, Xiaoxia closed the shop early and found Lao Zhou crouching at the door fixing a leak, his white hair stuck to his forehead by rain. Then she realized: 'Vacation' was just an excuse. He never wanted to leave; he just feared Xiaoxia would think she 'couldn't do it without him.'

The Private Chef Is a Trillionaire: After Signing the Unfair Contract, He Scares the CEO with His Balance

Billionaire CEO Lin Wan is known as “the most picky employer ever”—she’s gone through twenty private chefs, either because they couldn’t stand her asking for freshly cooked porridge at midnight or feared paying a million for an overly salty dish. Until Gu Mo arrives and cooks braised pork, her late mother’s favorite, making her eyes instantly red. Unwilling to admit she’s moved, Lin Wan drafts an unfair contract: “No resignation for a year, on-call 24/7, compensate a million for unsatisfactory dishes,” hoping to make Gu Mo back off. To her surprise, Gu Mo signs with a smile and adds: “If you can’t fault my dishes, you have to agree to one condition.” Lin Wan dismisses him as arrogant—until her core project is hijacked by a competitor, and her company is on the brink of bankruptcy. Gu Mo suddenly takes out his phone; the trillion-dollar balance on the screen blinds her: “I’ll inject capital into your company, on one condition—be my girlfriend.” Shocked, Lin Wan presses for answers. Gu Mo reveals the truth: he’s the “Financial Emperor” who retired three years ago. To get close to her, he spent half a year learning her mother’s recipes, and the contract? Just to prevent her from kicking him out suddenly. He says gently: “Every dish I cook hides what I want to say—I want to eat with you for the rest of my life.” Staring at the still-steaming braised pork on the table, Lin Wan bursts into tears: turns out the chef who always asks “What do you want to eat today?” with a smile has long cooked all his deep affection into every grain of rice and every piece of meat.

They worked together to expose the plot and gradually fell in love.
