Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 1163 - 731: The Descent of the God of Cooking_2
Chapter 1163 -731: The Descent of the God of Cooking_2
Yang Xuan, standing to the side, merely shook her head slightly upon hearing the words. But for some reason, she didn’t offer much explanation; it seemed that in her heart, Chu Mo was still the man who cooked for her alone.
“What are you all chatting about? It’s so lively!”
At the entrance of the hall, Zhan Bingxue’s tall and balanced figure slowly appeared. The exceptionally beautiful female CEO, with an air of mature elegance, carried a fatigued look in her eyes. However, the moment she stepped into the hall, Zhan Bingxue adjusted her mood quite well, and a moving smile gradually appeared on her face.
“We were just talking about Mr. Chu. It seems he felt some urge to personally cook dinner for us tonight. I bet it will mostly be a disaster!”
Zhan Bingxue, strolling through the hall, slightly-raised her delicate brows as she seemed to think of something and quickened her pace to the kitchen door. On seeing the earnest figure busily at work, the fatigue in her eyes was replaced with renewed brightness.
To this day, Zhan Bingxue still clearly remembers the scene when she first met the man in front of her, who promised to invite her for a meal.
Back then, she wasn’t the billionaire female CEO, but a mere regional manager at Tianxia Real Estate. Chu Mo wasn’t as rich as he is now; he was just a very ordinary, handsome young man. When they first met, Zhan Bingxue racked her brains choosing a house for him, and the very same Emperor Xuan Villas beneath her feet were acquired with her diligent help.
Zhan Bingxue distinctly remembered that at their first meeting, he had promised to personally cook a meal for her. Yet, as time swiftly passed, though they knew each other for two years, that opportunity never came.
But today, seeing that busy figure in the kitchen, it seemed her wish might finally come true!
“Do you need a hand?”
Zhan Bingxue stood at the kitchen door, her eyes brimming with amusement, much like a wife affectionately addressing her husband cooking.
Chu Mo, hands chopping vegetables rapidly, turned his head slightly; his movements were skillful and graceful, resembling a circus performance. His fingers danced, and the ingredients in front of him were all neatly cut.
With a slight upward curve of his mouth, Chu Mo shook his head. He pointed to a Michelin five-star chef standing by, obviously too bewildered to assist, and said with a chuckle:
“If you think your culinary skills can compare with his, then come help me!”
Upon hearing Chu Mo’s words, Zhan Bingxue smartly stepped back from the doorway, but before she left, she gave the kitchen one final glance.
The entire kitchen was orderly, with various ingredients neatly placed in different dishes; though the array of utensils could dazzle someone, each was arranged in perfect order, without a hint of messiness. Finally, Zhan Bingxue’s eyes caught a glimpse of the constantly busy hands, and the young man whose entire being seemed like an artistic performance—filled with grace and composure. Somewhat inexplicably, a warm tide rose in her heart, sweeping away the anxiety and worry caused by piled-up work and unsuccessful negotiations. At this moment, Zhan Bingxue felt unaccountably at ease.
She left the kitchen, sauntered back to the sofa where the maids had thoughtfully prepared precious tea for her. Seeing the distressed Ruyu, Zhan Bingxue chuckled warmly:
“Rest assured, Mr. Chu’s cooking isn’t as bad as you think… Perhaps it won’t be on par with Michelin-starred chefs, but at least it’s palatable. There’s no chance of a culinary disaster! Besides, isn’t there a Michelin five-star chef in the kitchen to assist? With guidance from a five-star chef, even an ordinary person can make decent food.”
Comforted and assured by Yang Xuan, Ruyu felt somewhat relieved. However, before the worry could vanish from her face, the round and robust Michelin chef slowly walked out of the kitchen.

In Ruyu’s widened eyes, the celebrated five-star Michelin chef, renowned in the entire Magic Capital and ranking among the top thirty in the world, shook his head helplessly and forlornly before leaving the kitchen.
“Hey, the five-star chef has left… It looks like Mr. Chu is the only one left in the kitchen now…! This is a total disaster!”
In the midst of Ru Yu’s despairing wails, Zhan Bingxue and Yang Xuan exchanged a glance. As college friends and besties, only they knew about Chu Mo’s true culinary skills, and only they were full of confidence in him.
Yang Xuan had confidence because Chu Mo had cooked meals for her for three years, whereas Zhan Bingxue was confident after witnessing Chu Mo’s performance in the kitchen just now.
“How have things been recently? The Li family still refuses to compromise?”
Among all the spokespeople, due to being college friends and close besties, Zhan Bingxue and Yang Xuan had the closest relationship, sharing almost no secrets between them. They would always discuss with each other when encountering any problems.
Yang Xuan knew that Zhan Bingxue was presently negotiating with the Li family of Jiangnan. As one of the eight major families of Hua Country, the Li family controlled a third of the high-end hotel industry in the Jiangnan region. If Zhan Bingxue wanted to expand, she could not avoid dealing with the Li family.
And indeed, the Li family head, Li Xiaoyao, was an individual of formidable stature. Trying to take advantage of Li Xiaoyao was almost as difficult as scaling the heavens. Although Zhan Bingxue’s status and position had undergone dramatic changes, she still had no advantage in front of a big player like Li Xiaoyao. Hence, the previous contacts and negotiations had all ended in failure, which was why Zhan Bingxue had been constantly feeling worried recently.
Zhan Bingxue gently picked up her teacup and took a sip of hot tea. She shut her eyes; this was a rare moment of relaxation for her. Although she was aware that involving Mr. Chu would yield much better results than her own persistent efforts, Zhan Bingxue had no intention of doing so.
If they had to rely on Mr. Chu to deal with every problem, then what was the point of having spokespersons like themselves!
Zhan Bingxue did not want to be underestimated by anyone, especially by Chu Mo. Therefore, despite the immense difficulty of the challenge, Zhan Bingxue did not plan to trouble Chu Mo for help.
Moments later, when an enticing fragrance wafted from the kitchen, Zhan Bingxue suddenly opened her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face. She then said lightly:
“Today I want to relax a bit, let’s not talk about those frustrating matters. By the way, do you know what dish Mr. Chu is making? Why does it smell so good?”
Yang Xuan, coming back to her senses and glancing towards the kitchen, understood Zhan Bingxue’s thoughts after nearly ten years of friendship. She sniffed lightly, then frowned slightly and said:
“In the past… his specialty was sweet and sour fish because I liked it, so he learned it online. Also, his beef stew with potatoes is quite good… But this fragrance… I don’t think I’ve ever smelled it before, it must be a new recipe he’s learned!”
Amidst Yang Xuan’s puzzled expression, the other incredibly beautiful spokespersons were also attracted by the seductive scent coming from the kitchen. Several women with top-notch looks stopped their gossiping and instead focused their attention on the direction of the kitchen.
Ru Yu, who initially had the least confidence in Chu Mo’s cooking skills, sniffed gently and her eyes showed a look of fascination and confusion.
The irresistible fragrance continued to linger at the tip of her nose, and at that moment, Ru Yu suddenly said:
“Fragrant, sticky, and a bit sweet… Oh my god, what is this scent? It’s too tempting!”
Ru Yu, who had been full of despair, was now wide-eyed, and even her tummy was attracted by the captivating scent, making rumbling noises.
Lu Siyue, the young lady of the Lu family by her side, could say she’d tasted all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas since she was young. Even the craftsmanship of Michelin five-star chefs could bore her. Initially, she too had little hope for Chu Mo’s skills, yet at this moment, she was continuously wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth. It wasn’t that Lu Siyue was inexperienced; it was the aroma coming from the kitchen that was too tempting, to the point that it made someone of her status abandon her manners.
“Could Mr. Chu’s real identity… be that of a culinary god?!”
