His Contractual Mistress-Chapter 372 - A Meal With Her Employees (One)

The following day...

It was a quiet morning for all the workers that living at Western-South Complex. Since they were on days' vacation, they need not wake up early.

However, they were surprised when several trucks parked in the garden.

When the truck opens, they find out it is a mobile market. Each truck has different contents and one truck contains beef, and the other truck is pork and chickens.

There is also a truck full of fresh fish, crabs, and prawns. As well as giant squids. The other truck carried all kinds of spices.

Chairman Lewis of Lewis Construction Firm and other contractor bosses walked toward Tim; following behind them were their employees on four days' breaks.

"Mr. Cheng, what is happening here?"

"Good morning, Mr. Lewis. Young madam Shen is giving all of this food to all of you! Our boss wanted to celebrate her wedding by having lunch with all of us."

Listening to Tim, everyone was elated that their boss didn't forget them, and it made them happy that this princess wanted to mingle with them.

Murmurs rose from the crowds, Pitt raised his right hand.

"And so, the young madam would love to eat the food that you will prepare. It gives you all of this meat to make lunch you can share with her later."

All the contractor's big bosses were stunned for a moment. Murmurs were rising around.

The people from behind did not hear what Tim had said, so they asked their co-workers at the front.

"What are they talking about?"

"I didn't hear clearly." Answered one.

"I will go forward to listen!"

One volunteered, he then came back happy.

"It said, Miss Davies, who gave all of this meat for us!"

"Is that true?" The workers from different construction firms were elated to hear this good news.

"Miss Davies will have lunch with us later!" Another one said.

"Then what should we cook?"

They began discussing and sharing thoughts. Although many of them are just ordinary carpenters and construction workers, they have a hidden ability to cook delicious dishes from their native lands.

"I'm going to roast a whole pig!"

The workers look at the whole pigs, neatly hung in a freezer truck. They could tell that these pigs were newly butchered.

"Then we should start looking for clean stainless steel poles to hook these pigs!"

"Others should start preparing them!"

"How to roast a pig?" quired by the other engineers and architects, who obviously grew up in the big cities.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know how to do it."

"Don't worry. I know the procedure to roast a whole pig!" More workers volunteered and shared their knowledge with others.

"Back in my province, we wrap some chicken, potatoes and carrots, lemongrass, and other spices and place them inside the pig stomach."

"Yes! We can do that!"

"We can also put crabs and prawns inside!"

"Yes, that's right!"

After everyone heard what they needed to do, others began hauling the pigs from the trucks to ready them.

The other workers help by bringing out dining tables to place the pigs. Afterward, they began cleaning the hogs thoroughly. When they were done, they started stuffing the spices in the pigs' bellies.

"We should make sure we thoroughly cleanse them. Our boss is going to have a meal with us!"

"Of course!"

They really are excited to have a meal with their beautiful and kind lady boss! That is why they were eager to prepare more dishes.

They wrapped potatoes, carrots, and some vegetables wrapped in foil paper since they don't have banana leaves and stuffed them inside the pig's belly.

Some also prefer crabs and prawns to be placed inside the pig's belly.

Then, other employees also began preparing a few recipes from their native lands.

Hailee's workers are from all over the world. She traveled around the world and got to taste different dishes as well, and she has a particular cuisine that she grew to love.

Hailee was sipping her fresh fruit juice while reading some articles online. The media was also excited about her wedding. However, as no reporters were invited to cover her wedding, they could not enter Dream City.

Several paparazzi wanted to sneak in. However, with advanced and tight security, they cannot get through.

ATHENA, the satellite, was also eyeing Dream City for a threat from the air.

Hailee was satisfied with the news posted on the internet. Her wedding is in trending news and spotted number one as a hot topic.

Vincent sat next to her. She instantly throws her arms around his neck and utters, "Hubby, we don't need to travel around the world for our honeymoon!"

Vincent chuckled and poked her nose as he replied, "Because you already brought the entire world the very first day you built Dream City."

Hailee was delighted with his comment. She is pleased she found outstanding workers that helped her build her dream city, and she wanted to show her appreciation.

Vincent is also glad he can contribute to building Dream City. Before, it was only his dream to work on one project, and he never thought that the girl he was looking for was his boss.

Hailee is very particular in selecting her contractors because of something she believes in.

She wanted to gather all the best minds to contribute to building Dream City, the reason she hired construction firms from different countries. She thinks that each of them has the best ideas.

"Each of us grew up in different environments. That's why each of us has different views on life. This is also involved in having different dreams we are thirsty to achieve. I need unique ideas that reflect the essentials of everyone's daily lives. Sometimes the best ideas we would have, are through our dreams. Then, we began dreaming of something."

Last night, Hailee told him this.

After that, Vincent understood why Hailee didn't choose contractors from the same countries but decided who had the best ideas. At first, he thought that Hailee just wanted to test Shen Group by randomly choosing them when he competed with a more known construction firm.

"I want Dream City to be the best city in the world," Hailee added.

Dream City has a slogan, "Join us! Let us make History!"

Vincent pulled himself from his train of thoughts. He looked at Hailee and said, "I'm so proud of you, Wifey."

"Thank you, hubby. I'm happy that I found you. Now my dream will come true soon once I finish Dream City. However, right now, I can't wait to have lunch!"

Vincent chuckled. He reached Hailee's baby bump and gently stroked her belly while talking to it. "Babies, wait for a little while." He thinks everyone has just started cooking now.

Hailee laughed at what he did. She has no doubts that Vincent will be a great father.

Vincent's phone rang, and he immediately answered the call after he saw it was Tim.

"How is it going?"

"Everyone started cooking, boss! They are all grateful for the gift you and the young madam gave to them." f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

"That's good then. Tell them that our boss is looking forward to having a taste of these delicious dishes. So ask them to make different cuisines."

"Copy, boss!"

"Is that Mr. Shen?" asked Nancy, who helped the wives chopping the spices, peeling carrots and potatoes. Some of them prepared other recipes that needed more vegetables.

"Yes. He asks to make different dishes from everyone's native land. The young madam tried many dishes from around the world, and so she wished to have a state of them again."

"You heard that, everyone?"

They are all ecstatic upon hearing Tim. What happened next? Everyone discussed the special recipes that their family passed down to them by their elders.

After one hour, Tim took a stroll around to check everyone's cuisine and the pigs and chickens they roasted.

With all the dishes cooked at the same time, it filled the air with pleasant flavors from different cuisines.

"Mr. Cheng, please, have a taste of our dishes!"

In the next hour, Tim was already full of tasting different dishes from different countries. Nancy suppresses not to laugh at her boyfriend when he keeps rubbing his stomach.

"I will get you some stomach medicine later," she said.

"I just need something to digest everything that I've eaten. I want to eat properly later!" He had tried something sweet, something sour, or super spicy dishes. Thanks to a super cold malt beer, the spicy food he tasted have slowly disappeared in his tongue.

"Mr. Cheng, please try this recipe! Don't worry, as it's not spicy," the man assured.

When the senior engineer from India Construction firm mentioned this, Tim sighed with relief. He picked up a clean spoon to taste the dish that was brought to him. Today, he became the food taster to please the preggy queen.

"Timothy Cheng! Why didn't you inform us!"

Tim lifted his head and looked in the Davies Group executives' direction and the other men, walking toward him. The moment Pitt approached him, he snatched the fork in his hand.

"Hmm! Good!" Pitt raised a thumb to the senior engineer, who left delighted after.

In the next hour, more dishes were sent to them to have a taste. Tim let Pitt and his young madam's knights have a taste of the other dishes.

Thankfully, more men arrived and joined him.

Now that they are all done cooking, the wives set up the table. They didn't wait for long.. The lady boss has arrived.
