Li Fugui was in the kitchen preparing dishes, and soon, one after another, the dishes were sent out.
He thought the kitchen maids made a lot of sense and perhaps he might be summoned to the dining hall.
But he waited and waited, and it didn't happen.
He gave a bitter smile, feeling somewhat naive. He was just a cook, not important enough to be summoned repeatedly.
Due to not seeing Xiaotian, Li Fugui's mood was somewhat low.
A moment later, the Little Maid came in, "Chef Jiang, this is your pay for today."
The Little Maid's words shattered Li Fugui's last bit of hope. They had already finished their meal, and Xiaotian probably had gone back to her room. He wouldn't have the chance to see her today. He reached out, took the silver, and thanked her, "Thank you."
After the Little Maid left, he let out a long sigh. For now, he could only resort to the last tactic he had thought of beforehand.
