Chef Li was filled with confidence after hearing what his disciple had to say.

“Go pick a couple of catties of kuruma prawns for me,” said Chef Li as he decided to make some kuruma prawns.

He was going to start practicing cooking right now. After all, it had been quite a while since he last cooked.

The kuruma prawn, also known as Japanese tiger prawn, was one of the more common types of seafood. Compared to other types of seafood, the meat of kuruma prawn was more tender.

The apprentice nodded but did not leave. Rather, he stood there staring at his master, wanting to say something yet hesitated.

“By the way, I have a question, master,” said the disciple hesitatingly, seemingly having difficulties articulating his thoughts.

“Just say what’s on your mind. Stop hesitating. I will answer any questions you have,” said Chef Li who was feeling generous as he felt like he was about to reach the apex of his life.

“Chairman Zhou and Chairman Zhang are very close to that Yuan Zhou. Since they are the judges for this challenge, will they be biased when judging?” The disciple was worried that the match would be fixed and they would be defeated even if they cooked better. After all, fixed matches weren’t all that rare nowadays.

Chef Li smiled and answered confidently, “A person capable of being a chairman will, at the very least, be just when it comes to cooking. Moreover, with their status, they can’t afford to be biassed in an official match.”

Hearing that, the disciple felt relieved and immediately left to get the kuruma prawns.

The match would be held during the afternoon. After all, Yuan Zhou would not interrupt the normal opening hours of his restaurant for the sake of some inconsequential people.

As Yuan Zhou had never slacked, he did not need any warm-ups before the match. He would be in top form at all times.

Today, the restaurant was opened as usual.

Today, nobody came to create trouble. Thus, the atmosphere there was in relative harmony. Naturally, some customers were still confused. Thus, they were all talking about it.

“I wonder why Boss Yuan refused to accept the challenge. They were obviously stepping on him.”

“What’s the point of accepting a challenge from someone that low?”

“True. Our Boss Yuan’s level is not so low that he has to accept the challenge from some unimportant person,” said Wang Hong.

A few days ago, Wang Hong had just written a book titled Birth of Miracle. The name gave an impression that it would be an impressive book, but in truth, the title was totally a form of bait as the content of the book merely detailed the birth of Wu Zhou’s child, the miracle.

The incident from the other day was still fresh in Wang Hong’s mind. The love a stranger had for a newborn life gave off an indescribable feeling.

In the book, Wang Hong wrote that in truth, many conflicts in this world could be resolved at the instant where a new life was birthed.

For example, in the Bollywood movie Three Idiots, the director in the movie, Viru, was so strict his own son was pressured to death. After personally witnessing the birth of his grandchild, his outlook toward life changed completely.

In truth, Wang Hong was good at writing, and he was also an extremely learned person. He could easily quote the classics any time of the day. Unfortunately, when he wrote, he would only write whatever he wanted and never spared any thought to whether what he wrote would be received well by the readers.

Today, Wang Hong had arrived with an atypical renowned author. They were going to have a knowledge sharing session at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

The reason this author was called an atypical renowned author was because he had never revealed his pen name. Wang Hong had merely discovered that this person had a very good relationship with the book publishers. He even heard that more than 1,000,000 copies of this author’s book were sold overseas.

When this author first received the invitation, he planned to reject it. But he changed his mind when he found out the venue was Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

There was a popular theory on the Internet that to increase the odds of reaching a deal, three treasures must be included: liquor, singing, and Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

The final treasure was a mythical treasure capable of increasing the odds of success by 10%!
