Chapter 141 - Chapter 141 - 141: Pre-Race Reception (2/2)

Chen Yu was very humble, “This time, I am representing the culinary department of the Tong Group to participate in the competition.”

“What a coincidence!”

Bai Qiu took out a platinum identity tag from his person, “I am one of the invited guests for this competition, and I will be making an appearance as well.”

Next to him, Du Bing took out two invitations from his person and handed them to Chen Yu.

“Tonight at seven, there will be a cocktail party for the invited guests of the competition, and if you’re interested, you’re welcome to attend.”

Chen Yu had been worried about having nowhere to go these couple of days out of boredom, and he had not expected that there would be a cocktail party before the competition.

It was already evening at the moment, and only a few hours were left before the start of the cocktail party.

The four of them then strolled around the vicinity together before heading directly to the cocktail party venue.

The majority of the invited guests were sponsors of the competition or influential figures from various fields.

There were also some world-famous actors and a few competing contestants.

The cocktail party venue was also extremely imposing, set within an ancient castle with a history of a thousand years.

Bai Qiu even had someone bring Chen Yu and Tong Ya a set of fitted formal attire.

Both of them, whether in figure or appearance, ranked top among those with Eastern features, and with the enhancement of formal wear, they instantly became the most dazzling presence upon entering the scene.

Almost everyone’s gaze was drawn to him, even the musicians stopped their tunes.

“Who are these two? Why haven’t we ever seen them before? Could they be actors from some Eastern country?”

“Looking at their temperament, they must come from some prominent family.”

“Quick, check the guest list, I want to know their identities in the shortest time possible.”

…

Fang Yuan was also present at the venue, having secured the position of host for the Zeus Alliance Challenge through Han Mintao’s connections.

But now she hid in a corner, not daring to move forward in the least.

It wasn’t because Chen Yu and Tong Ya were too dazzling, but rather she was afraid of facing Chen Yu.

According to the persona she had crafted, she had never met Chen Yu, and if she got too close and any microexpression was captured by the media, it could collapse the persona she had painstakingly built.

The convergence of everyone’s gaze made Chen Yu somewhat uncomfortable, so he pulled Tong Ya over to a corner and started eating pastries on his own.

[Congratulations, Host, on completing a day of business. Since costs have exceeded profits, there are no points to be added.]

Chen Yu wasn’t surprised in the least; after all, he had invested over two million yesterday, while his revenue for the day was just over one million nine hundred and thirty thousand. It would have been strange if there had been a profit.

“Mr. Chen, I really didn’t expect to see you in Frankfurt!”

Charles called out excitedly and walked over with a glass of wine in his hand.

Chen Yu slightly furrowed his brow, as he didn’t have much affection for Charles.

As a Michelin three-star chef, to actually block someone’s shop entrance just to force their chef into a competition with him.

Such a person had issues with his character.

Chen Yu reluctantly squeezed out a bit of a smile, “Mr. Charles, it seems like you will also be participating in the competition the day after tomorrow.”

Charles sighed helplessly, “Since Mr. Chen is participating, I definitely don’t stand a chance of even placing.”

While they were chatting casually, a sudden sound of a glass bottle breaking rang out. A portly middle-aged man suddenly fell from the second floor.
