Chapter 641 - Provocation In Yuan Zhou’s (2/2)

When he answered them, Yuan Zhou saw Chu Xiao walk into the main hall from his peripheral vision. Then, the reporters headed in crowds towards him as if they were sharks that had smelled the scent of blood.

“Chef Chu, I heard Mr. Tengyuan specially came for you this time. What dish have you prepared to show him and are you confident in defeating him?

“Chef Chu, what do you think of Tengyuan’s visit this time?”

“Chef Chu, what dish are you prepared to cook this time?”

“It’s the third time that Chef Chu is attending the exchange meeting. Do you feel anything different this time?”

“Chef Chu, will Mr. Tengyuan’s visit make you change your strategy of cooking today?”

The reporters that surrounded Chu Xiao were twice as many as those around Yuan Zhou, which made Yuan Zhou feel puzzled.

“Is he more handsome than me? It can’t be.” Yuan Zhou thought that with puzzlement. He was in a dominant position in both appearance and attire.

“No one can affect my decision,” after saying that, Chu Xiao walked towards Zhou Shijie immediately.

And Yuan Zhou was also awoken by Chu Xiao while he was thinking deeply on the serious subject of who was more handsome.

“Chef Yuan, let’s go,” Chu Xiao stopped when he passed by Yuan Zhou and greeted him.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou looked at Chu Xiao up and down and behaved as if nothing was on his mind.

Dressed in an official pure white chef’s uniform, Chu Xiao was giving out a sense of determination and high-spiritedness, which made him look quite capable and impressive.

Whereas Yuan Zhou was wearing the Han Chinese clothing with his back straight and upright and his expression solemn and earnest. He appeared to be both composed and confident.

“Chairman Zhou,” Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao greeted almost at the same time.

“There you are. Come here. Let me make an introduction.” Zhou Shijie turned his head and revealed a relaxed look. Then, he turned his head back and started to introduce them.

“You have most probably met Chairman Masheng before. And this Professor Tengyuan teaches Chinese food culture and Chinese language in Japan.” When Zhou Shijie introduced Chairman Masheng, he looked relaxed and vivid. When he mentioned Tengyuan who appeared as sprightly as a middle-aged man, however, he used the word “professor” and he also became more solemn.

“Hello.” Yuan Zhou’s attitude had already been toughened in the face of his customers. He looked calm and greeted them lightly.

After all, he had no idea of whom Tengyuan was. Even if he knew this person, it made no difference to him. After all, he was quite confident in his own craftsmanship.

“Nice to meet you, Tengyuan Jiayuan.” Chu Xiao straightforwardly neglected Chairman Masheng and greeted Tengyuan at the side.

“Nice to meet you, too. I have long been expecting to eat Chef Chu’s craftsmanship. It seems that I finally have a chance,” Tengyuan answered him smilingly

“Certainly.” Chu Xiao nodded his head.

“I was told that this Chef Yuan’s craftsmanship is also marvelous. Hopefully, I can have the honor to eat your dishes,” Tengyuan asked Yuan Zhou courteously. He spoke Chinese fluently and smoothly and he could even use Chinese idioms.

“Sure.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head without any additional courtesy.

“I hope Mr. Yuan doesn’t let this Jiayuan down this time.” Tengyuan just smiled and said nothing. Contrarily, Dashi couldn’t help jumping out from the side.

This time, however, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything, either. He just looked at Dashi Xiujie like that.

Dashi Xiujie became indignant immediately and said again when he found Yuan Zhou showing an indifferent expression.

“As far I know, Mr. Yuan is from the inland and presumably, can hardly see saltwater fish during normal times. I guess that you are not good at cooking them. But never mind, I can grudgingly taste the river fish. Therefore, could you please show us your excellent craftsmanship so that I can learn from you?” Dashi Xiujie had only learned Chinese these few days.

Though he said that awkwardly, Yuan Zhou could still tell the provocation contained in it.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said seriously, “Of course you can. Seldom do you have an opportunity to come to China and you do need to study carefully.
