Chapter 154 – 154: Chef Jin

The waiter, after being rescued, hurriedly stepped aside and dialed the manager’s phone.

Shortly after, a middle-aged man sporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a demeanor of smugness hurriedly ascended the stairs.

Upon seeing the scene before him, he dashed straight to Chen Yu and scolded.

“What are you doing? This is a shareholder of my restaurant and also the chef in charge of our special dishes. Let go at once!”

Chen Yu was a bit stunned; he couldn’t sense any hint of a chef from the man before him.

“Chef in charge? He feels more like a fitness coach to me.”

The man, waving his hefty fists, kept smashing them against Chen Yu’s arm.

But no matter how hard he tried, his fists seemed as powerless as chicken claws in front of Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn’t say much more, casually tossing the guy aside.

The manager, seeing this, hurried forward to help the man up.

“Oh dear, Chef Jin, why didn’t you give a heads-up before coming? This area is indeed for parents and children, and the chairman has instructed us, you should go to the VIP room over there…”

But the man was relentless and immediately grabbed the manager by the collar.

“What do you mean? Did you all take the wrong medication today? Why do you keep siding with strangers?”

The manager was on the verge of tears, “You’ve misunderstood, the chairman’s child just turned one month old today. This area meant for parents and children was set up to attract good fortune. If you really must sit here…”

“Alright!” Chef Jin immediately backed down, “Why didn’t you say so sooner?”

He straightened his clothes and glanced over at Chen Yu before quickly turning to leave.

When Chen Yu had grabbed his arm earlier, he felt a tremendous force seep into his bones, almost crushing his wrist.

If things escalated, he wouldn’t end up in a good place either, so it was best to take advantage of the chairman’s name to give himself a way out.

As he was about to leave, however, Chen Yu suddenly stood up.

“Hold on, I wonder which special dish Chef Jin is good at. Could you make one for us today?”

Chef Jin was taken aback, realizing from Chen Yu’s tone that he was angry and evidently not inclined to let things go.

“Manager, the special dishes aren’t listed on today’s menu, right?”

After giving an excuse, Chef Jin subconsciously took a step back.

Chen Yu didn’t care about any of that and stepped forward, once again seizing Chef Jin’s wrist.

“As a chef, one should be happy when someone wants to taste his special dish, unless you’re not really a chef.”

In reality, Chen Yu didn’t want to come off as too aggressive; he simply found the restaurant to be quite unique, with almost all the dishes being improvements on the original menu.

Moreover, as Chef Jin specialized in the restaurant’s signature dishes, Chen Yu wanted to see for himself.

“Kid, our Jin family’s cuisine has been passed down for twenty-seven generations to me. You dare say I’m not a chef?”

Chef Jin seemed to have received an immense insult and immediately became belligerent.

Chen Yu deliberately shook his head, “I don’t think so, not unless you can cook the dish.”

Chef Jin was instantly enraged further, “If I can cook this special dish today, you’ll have to apologize in front of all the diners.”

His shout disturbed all the customers in the hall, with many standing up and craning their necks to look over, and a few even came over to encircle the area.

Chen Yu nodded, “Sure! But since it’s a special dish, I’d have to be satisfied with it. If it isn’t good, then we’ll need to question your identity as a chef.”
