Zhao Shijing raised the tall glass in her hand and said to Liu Hui, "Xiaohui, I won't say much. This glass is to thank you for saving my life. From now on, whenever you encounter difficulties, you can come to me, and I will do my best to help you."
Zhao Shijing finished the red wine in the glass in one sip, and a blush appeared on her face, which looked charming.
Seeing Zhao Shijing's flirtatious expression, Liu Hui couldn't help but be stunned, even spilling the red wine on the table without realizing it.
Seeing Liu Hui's stunned look, Zhao Shijing couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you, Xiaohui, to be a little pervert!"
Upon hearing Zhao Shijing's laughter, Liu Hui regained his senses and saw the spilled red wine on the table, his face turning red. Liu Hui hurriedly drank the remaining wine in his glass, "It's all because you, Sister Shijing, are too beautiful, making me embarrass myself like this!"
Liu Hui couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Zhao Shijing in this state was truly beautiful, even he, with the memories of an immortal, couldn't resist her charm and made a fool of himself in front of her.
"You little rascal, blaming me when it's your own lack of self-control." Zhao Shijing didn't blame Liu Hui. Over the years, she had encountered many so-called elite individuals, but none could match Liu Hui's demeanor. Somehow, she felt more relaxed and open-minded in front of him.
During the meal, Liu Hui could still chat and laugh with the beautiful CEO, and he felt like time flew by.
"Ah! The Western cuisine at Boya Hotel is really delicious. It's a pity we can't eat good things like this often." Zhao Shijing sighed regretfully.
Seeing Zhao Shijing's disappointed expression, Liu Hui felt a pang in his heart and couldn't help but speak, "Actually, Boya Hotel's dishes are not flawless. There are still some shortcomings. Sister Shijing, if we have the opportunity, I'll personally show you what true gourmet food is."
A middle-aged man at a nearby table who had been observing Zhao Shijing heard Liu Hui's words and his eyes lit up. He quickly waved for a waiter and whispered something.
"Oh? Xiaohui, is your cooking skill really good?" Zhao Shijing looked curious. High school students of his age usually ate at home or in the cafeteria, and few of them cooked for themselves.
Liu Hui suddenly remembered that he had never cooked before because he dared to make such a promise based on the cooking skills in the memories of the immortal. However, the ingredients in the immortal's memory were not available on Earth, and he had no idea if they would work with Earth's ingredients.
Truly, the power of a stunning beauty is immense! Liu Hui knew he had been impulsive earlier, but now he could only steel himself and say, "I haven't cooked before, but my cooking skills will be great in the future. Sister Shijing, just wait for my good news!"
Zhao Shijing also breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Hui had claimed to have exceptional cooking skills right now, it would have been unbelievable. It seemed that he was only joking to amuse her.
Just as Zhao Shijing was about to tease Liu Hui, a chubby, blond chef in white clothing approached him.
This chef, who was clearly a foreigner, spoke fluent Chinese. "Sorry to interrupt you, esteemed guests. I am Charles, the head chef and owner of Boya Hotel. I
heard that a guest had some complaints about our dishes, and I'd like to learn from your feedback."
Zhao Shijing didn't expect that Liu Hui's joke would actually alarm the head chef of Boya Hotel. However, she didn't have time to dwell on it and spoke up, "I'm sorry, Chef Charles! My younger brother was just joking with me earlier and accidentally made a joke. I apologize on his behalf!"
"Dear lady, thank you very much for your understanding! Boya Hotel is committed to creating the perfect Western cuisine. If there are indeed any shortcomings, please kindly offer your guidance. However, if there are none, I still hope that your younger brother can apologize personally and not tarnish the reputation of our Boya Hotel." Despite being amazed by Zhao Shijing's beauty, Chef Charles didn't let Liu Hui off the hook.
Liu Hui was surprised. He had only been speaking softly with Zhao Shijing, so how did the people from Boya Hotel find out? When he saw the middle-aged man who had tried to approach Zhao Shijing sitting nearby with a smug expression, Liu Hui immediately understood the cause and effect. This middle-aged man was truly despicable, resorting to such tricks.
At this moment, seeing the head chef of Boya Hotel appearing in the restaurant personally, the other diners couldn't help but become curious and gathered around to watch the commotion.
"Isn't that Zhao Shijing from our Chu City's Destiny Jewelry Store? She's a famous beautiful CEO."
"Now, Zhao Shijing has been fooled by that student. Chef Charles is renowned for coming from a Michelin-starred restaurant in France, and his expertise in Western cuisine is unmatched in Chu City!"
"I've never seen Zhao Shijing act so meek before. I wonder who this student is that made her go to such lengths to defend him!"
Seeing the growing crowd around them, all of whom had low expectations for Liu Hui, Zhao Shijing knew that he had never cooked before and couldn't possibly point out any flaws in Boya Hotel's Western cuisine. Unfortunately, no matter how she pleaded, the French chef remained unyielding and insisted on having Liu Hui say something.
When Liu Hui saw Zhao Shijing's pleading and helpless expression, he couldn't help but step forward and say, "Alright! Since you want me to speak, then I'll say a few points!"
The surrounding people, seeing the main character finally speak up, fell silent.
Liu Hui stood up and pointed at the steak on the table, saying, "First, the beef here is rich in texture, delicious, and juicy. The flavor is pure and the selection of the steak is exceptional. The cooking temperature is also perfect, which can be considered quite remarkable."
Chef Charles couldn't help but proudly say, "Of course, the beef we select at Boya Hotel is the famous Wagyu beef from Japan. It's a rare and excellent beef that is hard to come by."
Then, Chef Charles went on to explain a bit about Wagyu beef. Wagyu beef is very sensitive, and during the breeding process, it should not have any mental stress. Thorough temperature control and a clean feeding environment are necessary. The ranch from which Boya Hotel sources its beef even plays classical music for the cows, gives them beer and Japanese rice wine to stimulate their appetite, and even provides massages for them.
Upon hearing about the luxurious life of the cows, the onlookers couldn't help but marvel. Boya Hotel truly deserved its reputation as the top Western cuisine hotel in Chu City. With the quality of the Wagyu beef alone, it was already impressive, not to mention having a chef from a Michelin-starred restaurant in France.
"In that case, please tell me, what are the shortcomings of this steak?" After explaining the origin of Boya Hotel's steak, Chef Charles loudly questioned Liu Hui.
The onlookers began to discuss, all praising Boya Hotel, with no one supporting Liu Hui.
Beside them, Zhao Shijing also looked worriedly at Liu Hui, concerned that he might be affected by this incident.
