Zhou Xue’er seemed to have waited for her for a long time and anxiously said, “He Jing, will you agree to compete for my family?”
This was a matter of extreme urgency.
If He Jing didn’t agree, the Zhou family wouldn’t have time to find someone…
“I agree.”
He Jing said lightly.
Zhou Xue’er’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t believe her ears. “What did you say?
He Jing paused for a moment, turned around, and said word by word, “I agree.”
Zhou Xue’er was so overjoyed that she instantly forgot about the numerous conflicts she had with He Jing in the past. She pounced on He Jing and hugged her tightly.
She kept muttering, “That’s great. My dad has given me instructions. If I can’t handle you, I’ll have to go abroad. Thank you, He Jing. Thank you, thank you.”
He Jing raised her eyebrows. She didn’t want to, but He Zhou had fallen into Prosperous Restaurant’s trap.
No matter how much she and He Zhou didn’t get along, He Zhou was a member of the He family after all. At important times, the muzzle of their guns would naturally be on the same side.
After calming down, Zhou Xue’er quickly called Mr. Zhou and told him the good news. After a while, she hung up the phone and said to He Jing, “He Jing, the competition is on the weekend. The Zhou family will send a car to pick you up.”
He Jing nodded and returned to her seat to review her lessons. Zhou Xue’er was relieved.
Soon, the weekend arrived as scheduled. He Jing woke up early.
She deliberately didn’t alert He Ning and the others and quietly slipped out of the house.
The Zhou family’s chauffeur had arrived early. He parked the car at the entrance of Goldfish Ridge. He yawned and glanced at the girl casually. Suddenly, he saw a girl who was as exquisite and beautiful as a doll walking out of the corridor.
He didn’t look away for a moment. He saw the girl walk to the front of the car and knock on the window, signaling him to open the door for her. Only then did he know that she was the person the Zhou family had asked to pick up.
“Heh. She was too young. Did she really have the ability to participate in the competition
The Zhou family’s chauffeur thought to himself. He dared not doubt it and immediately started the engine.
At the same time, inside Prosperous Restaurant.
“Head Chef Wang, have you made your choice? Which dish are you going to use as inspiration?”
Head Chef Wang, dressed in a chef’s uniform and a white top hat, pointed at a plate of prawns on the table.
The plate of prawns had a light color, resembling blanched shrimp, and looked unremarkable.
The other chefs crowded around him. They were puzzled. “Head Chef Wang, is there anything special about this plate of prawns?”
Head Chef Wang’s stern face revealed a strange expression. He took one and stuffed it into his mouth. After tasting it slowly, he said, “What an amazing way of thinking. Immature skills. It’s been a long time since I felt so inspired.”
The longer he worked as a chef, the more his thoughts were limited to a small world.
It was extremely difficult to create something new, so Prosperous Restaurant had no choice but to draw inspiration from the new chefs.
The most outstanding dish was this blanched shrimp. The fresh and elegant taste was extremely addictive.
With just one bite, he had endless inspiration. Combined with his years of experience, he was sure to elevate this dish to a higher level.
About an hour later, He Jing arrived at the venue of the competition. It was located in a modern and artistically designed skyscraper.
The car stopped and He Jing got out. She saw Zhou Xue’er and Mr. Zhou from afar.
Mr. Zhou was chatting and laughing with a few people. Zhou Xue’er quickly walked over and complained. “Why are you so late? You’re ten minutes late.” He Jing was speechless but still said, “There’s a traffic jam.”
Zhou Xue’er’s expression faltered. She realized she might have been a bit unreasonable..
