Chapter 145 - Chapter 145 - 145: The Golden Gemstone (2/2)

“It seems that on this first day of the competition, the Zeus Alliance has been completely defeated.”

“Although the alliance is supposed to be a collective of chefs, over the years they have become overly commercialized and are becoming less and less like chefs.”

…

In comparison, the knife skills of the Zeus Alliance left much to be desired.

The only presentable skill was some basic carrot flower carving.

But these were the most fundamental plating techniques in Western cuisine, a world apart from what the Chinese chefs were doing.

Amid the discussions of the audience, the competition concluded, with the Chinese chefs emerging as the clear winners.

The first day of competition ended like this, with the people from the Zeus Alliance leaving the scene rather unwillingly.

After a busy day, Chen Yu was a bit tired and was just about to go back to rest when Victor stopped him.

“Mr. Chen, the wedding dress you commissioned me to make yesterday, I have had it rushed through the night, may I have your hotel address so I can send it over right away?”

Chen Yu was surprised, he had not expected that it would be possible to make such a complex handmade wedding dress overnight.

Tong Ya’s eyes also widened in amazement. According to her design, the materials for the wedding dress were very hard to find, and even for William’s family, it would probably take some effort.

It seemed she had underestimated the capabilities of William’s family.

Victor didn’t beat around the bush and immediately took out his tablet computer to show Chen Yu and Tong Ya the finished product.

Even just looking at the photos, they could feel an overwhelmingly beautiful aura.

Chen Yu thanked him profusely and gave him the address of his hotel.

Not long after Chen Yu and Tong Ya returned to their hotel, Victor had already sent two assistants to deliver the wedding dress.

Seeing the finished product, Tong Ya was so excited she was almost beside herself.

When she designed this wedding dress, she did so rather casually.

After all, the materials for making this dress, and the gemstones set in it, were extremely rare.

Even if all the materials were found, to purely handcraft it would require the cooperation of no less than three master dressmakers to perfectly create it.

But Chen Yu furrowed his brow.

When he saw the photo earlier, he thought the gemstones set in it were just ornaments, but now he realized that all of the gemstones and diamonds were real.

Just the largest gold gemstone, and the two symmetrical pink gemstones, were probably worth over a hundred million in value combined.

It had to be said, Victor was incredibly generous. Such a gift left Chen Yu not knowing what to do.

If he were to send it back, he might offend William’s family.

He wasn’t afraid of much, but Tong Group had a close collaboration with William’s family in Europe, and he was afraid it might affect the partnership.

But if he didn’t return it, such a valuable gift was truly overwhelming for him to receive.

“Honey, I didn’t expect you to have such a big face that you could get William’s family to set their family heirloom gemstones on it; it’s like they’re extending an olive branch to you,” Tong Ya said.

Chen Yu’s pupils dilated slightly: “Family heirloom gemstones?”

“Yes, these gold gemstones have been passed down since the Middle Ages and are unique to William’s family! They only give one to those they consider their most intimate friends, and in a thousand years, they’ve only given out five.”

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, which meant this was the sixth one.

It turned out Victor considered him a friend; perhaps he was being too cynical after all.
