Chapter 313 (2/2)

With his current craftsmanship and assets, Yuan Zhou didn’t really need to force himself to do anything. After all, his ambition was to become a Master Chef rather than make more money from the business. Therefore, it was his freedom whether to answer anybody or not and how to answer him.

“This is the executive head chef to-be of our restaurant, Mr Li Li.” Despite Yuan Zhou’s cold face, Niu Li continued saying.

Yuan Zhou looked toward him and found him a little familiar. However, he didn’t say anything.

With such an abrupt introduction, Yuan Zhou really didn’t want to greet him.

“Our head chef Mr. Li Li is a skilled individual internationally and has been doing this job for more than 10 years.” Niu Li was quite proud when she introduced that.

“So…?” Yuan Zhou felt more puzzled. Even if this head chef had been doing this job longer than that, is that anything to do with him?”

“You have perfect culinary skills, but you are still just a young member compared to Mr Li. He’s very famous internationally.” Niu Li explained, seemingly with a good intention.

In the chef industry, seniority must be given top priority, of which Yuan Zhou was very clear. In any case, he had a lot of experience working in the kitchen of a hotel.

So what? Life and death is of no importance, if one is challenged, one should take it on. Yuan Zhou felt it a little funny. However, he managed to refrain himself in order to maintain his aloof manner as usual.

“Lady, I don’t think I know you. Bye.” Yuan Zhou shrugged and then left directly.

“You have boosted the regional GDP alone? I have seen your menu. The dishes are merely home dishes that require little culinary skills. But I have to admit the taste is not bad.” Li Li, who had kept silent just now, suddenly uttered.

Moreover, he judged his dishes unreservedly as soon as he spoke.

“I’d like to invite you to savor the genuine delicacy that I will cook personally. My treat.” With a frown, Li Li looked at Yuan Zhou’s casual clothes and said again.

“But this is an official western restaurant. You need to wear formal clothes.” Li Li immediately reminded him.

“Ho Ho. Thank you, but I won’t invite you to savor my craftsmanship.” Yuan Zhou hadn’t encountered such a conceited man for a long time and thus became a little curious.

“I don’t need to.” Li Li answered positively and confidently.

“It’s not because of that. It’s because I don’t want to invite you.” Yuan Zhou’s attitude was still as calm as before.

“If you like, you can join our team. Your position will be the head chef.” As an executive head chef, Li Li was also good at poaching skilled personnel.

But he had obviously forgotten that Yuan Zhou was the guy who had refused to sell his restaurant.

“Ho Ho.” Concerning the offer of Li Li, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to say a single word.

Moreover, he suddenly thought of a conceited saying, “You would never know what genuine strength is.”

If it wasn’t inappropriate, Yuan Zhou just wanted to say so.

“Learning more about cooking is the only way out for you young cooks.” Despite his young age of 30, Li Li had the demeanor of an elder. When he said that to Yuan Zhou, he was like instructing a youth of his family.

He paid much attention to Yuan Zhou after Niu Li told him that it was Yuan Zhou’s restaurant that was their only rival in this street. Of course, he wouldn’t believe the bullshit that Yuan Zhou could boost the regional GDP alone.

Nevertheless, Li Li fully respected the occupation of chef, therefore he offered the invitation several times.

“Actually, I feel you guys are really odd. I don’t think I know you, so are you seriously talking with me?” After Yuan Zhou said that, he turned around and left. This time, he didn’t stop anymore.

It was likewise tiring to hear others babble on.

“He’s pretty prideful. But he’ll understand what I mean after he loses all his customers.” Li Li didn’t have a good temper. He straightforwardly brought out the confident words.

Likewise, Niu Li naturally agreed with him.
