21 -21: Fengming Restaurant and Cooking God Competition
Chen Wanqing glared at Su Xuan and said harshly, “Please call me Manager Chen or use my full name from now on.
‘Wanqing, Wanqing’, are we that close?”
Su Xuan was taken aback, thinking to himself, had this girl eaten gunpowder?
She was fine just a moment ago, so why had her mood changed so suddenly?
Could it be because of those female employees earlier?
Thinking of this, he felt secretly pleased and couldn’t resist teasing her, “What, jealous?”
Chen Wanqing’s face turned red, and she retorted, “Pah, don’t flatter yourself.”
“Seriously though, is Master Zhu alright?
It looked like he injured his wrist just now!”
Chen Wanqing’s expression darkened, and she sighed, “The injury isn’t too serious, but the doctor said he needs to rest for a week.
He probably won’t be able to come to work this week!”
Su Xuan, seeing her worried face, asked curiously, “If he needs to rest, then let him rest.
Though Master Zhu is the head chef, the restaurant usually operates fine without him.
Why are you so worried?”
“It’s all because of the Cooking God…” Chen Wanqing started, then paused, giving Su Xuan a glance and sighed, “Never mind, never mind, it’s useless telling you.
I’ll figure it out myself!”
“How do you know I can’t help if you don’t tell me!”
Su Xuan smiled, stepped in front of Chen Wanqing, and gazed at her affectionately, “Wanqing, I’ve told you, one day you’ll willingly call me your husband.
I’ll be your support through everything.”
Chen Wanqing had never seen Su Xuan show such deep affection in his eyes.
Although she hadn’t known him for long, his usual carefree attitude was all she had seen.
What made Chen Wanqing’s cheeks burn even more was Su Xuan’s intense gaze, which intoxicated her unwittingly.
By the time she realized it, she found that he was holding her hand tenderly.
“You…” Chen Wanqing felt her cheeks burning up as if on fire.
She quickly pulled her hand away, lowered her head, and dared not meet his eyes.
“Just say it, I might be able to help you.”
“Fine, I’ll tell you, but can you stop talking to me with that tone?” Chen Wanqing turned her back, not wanting him to see her blushing, and replied softly.
But unbeknownst to her, Su Xuan was slightly smiling, tightly clenching his fist, and thinking to himself, “Little girl, I don’t believe I can’t handle you!”
Hehe, although this guy had really never been in a relationship and was still a virgin, as the saying goes, ‘Even if you haven’t eaten pork, you’ve seen pigs run’!
After all, he had crammed many romance movies before his discharge from the military service.
Be it Huaxian, Korean, American, or even classic Japanese action romance films, he had crammed them all.
Of course, the last type involved learning action sequences, which was where Comrade Su Xuan felt he had only theoretical knowledge and wanted to find inspiration for movement from the movies.
“Alas, poor me, having seventy-two techniques but no chance to display them.
Talent unrecognized, talent unrecognized!”
Chen Wanqing heard Su Xuan mumbling under his breath and curiously turned her head, “What are you muttering about?”
“Uh, nothing, nothing!”
Chen Wanqing knew this guy definitely wasn’t saying anything good, so she rolled her eyes at him and began explaining her predicament.
It turned out that in three days, the culinary contest called the ‘Cooking God Competition’ would be held in Qingshan City, and the Bright Moon Building had also registered to participate.
Originally, with Master Zhu, Bright Moon Building was highly likely to win the championship this time.
But unfortunately, at this critical moment, Master Zhu had injured his wrist and couldn’t cook at all.
“Hmph, those thugs must definitely have been orchestrated by Fengming Restaurant!”
“Fengming Restaurant?”
“Yes.” Chen Wanqing nodded firmly and explained, “Fengming Restaurant is also one of the top-rated hotels in our city, and they have also registered for the Cooking God Competition.
However, Fengming’s head chef isn’t as skilled as Master Zhu, and knowing they’d surely lose, they had secretly approached me, wanting us at Bright Moon Building to withdraw voluntarily.”
Chen Wanqing became increasingly angry as she spoke, and she turned around, ready to confront someone from Fengming Restaurant, but Su Xuan grabbed her to stop her.
“Why are you stopping me?
I need to go and get an explanation from them!” Chen Wanqing glared at Su Xuan, dissatisfied.
“Do you have any evidence that they were behind those thugs that injured Master Zhu?
Or do you think the people from Fengming Restaurant will simply admit to it?”
“I…”
Although Chen Wanqing was impulsive, she wasn’t stupid.
Hearing Su Xuan’s words, she realized as well.
Indeed, without evidence, Fengming Restaurant would never admit to it, making her visit pointless.
Besides, even if they could prove Fengming Restaurant was behind this, the most they would do was pay some fines and medical fees.
How could they expect to put them in jail?
“So what should we do?”
“Of course, we first need to find a chef to replace Master Zhu in the competition!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Wanqing helplessly shook her head.
“Finding a top-class chef isn’t that easy, not to mention even if we found one, they might not necessarily be able to beat Fengming Restaurant’s head chef.”
The head chef of Fengming Restaurant, although not as good as Master Zhu, was still one of the top chefs in Qingshan City.
Where could she find a comparable chef in just three days?
Just as Chen Wanqing was losing hope and decided to withdraw from the Cooking God Competition, Su Xuan chuckled mischievously at her side.
While laughing, he shook his unmoving short hair and struck what he thought was a handsome pose, saying, “Who says chefs are hard to find?
I am a ready-made chef right here!”
“You…”
Chen Wanqing widened her eyes in disbelief at Su Xuan before her, yet she recalled that he indeed mentioned he could cook before.
However, being able to cook didn’t mean he could be a head chef!
At least Chen Wanqing didn’t have much confidence in him, “Are you sure you can do it?”
“Why not just try and see!”
Su Xuan flashed a confident smile, grabbed Chen Wanqing’s hand, and ran towards the hotel’s kitchen.
The hotel’s kitchen was even larger than Su Xuan had imagined, filled with a team of about twenty people from the head chef to assistants, including a pastry chef.
Looking at the spotless kitchen, Su Xuan smacked his lips twice and leaned close to whisper into Chen Wanqing’s ear, “Not bad, this kitchen could rival Bolton Hotel’s!
Indeed worthy of being Qingshan City’s star hotel!”
Bolton is an international chain hotel, each establishment upholding a five-star standard, aiming to provide customers with supreme services from dining to accommodation.
The warm breath from Su Xuan’s mouth brushed against Chen Wanqing’s earlobe, immediately turning her ears a shade of red.
Chen Wanqing had to slightly push him away to maintain some distance.
“Are you sure you can handle it?”
Chen Wanqing surveyed Su Xuan skeptically, not believing him at all.
“Boss lady, you’re breaking my heart here, not trusting your own husband!” Su Xuan said, while theatrically squeezing out a few tears, as though deeply wronged.
“Stop joking, I’m really worried!” Chen Wanqing frowned, expressing her frustration.
Su Xuan shrugged and said, “Alright, alright, there’s no other choice right now, just let me try.
It won’t waste too much of your time.”
Hearing his words, Chen Wanqing sighed in her heart, “Fine, I guess I’ll have to take a shot in the dark.”
