Wang Ziming

"Manager Huang, it's your turn to choose the guests," Jaxon said to Manager Huang.

Manager Huang nodded, his gaze wandering over the guests in the dining hall. However, he was actually thinking about how to convey his thoughts to the waitress. Choosing who would be the judge was not really important.

At that moment, a waitress suddenly came to find Manager Huang.

"Manager, Young Master Wang wants to order squirrel mandarin fish," the waitress said.

"Which Young Master Wang?" Manager Huang was still thinking about the competition and for a moment, he couldn't remember who this Young Master Wang was.

"Young Master Wang Ziming," the waitress replied.

"When did he arrive?" Manager Huang was taken aback. Even Geng Yafei and Liu Bing looked at the waitress, apparently, they both knew the Young Master Wang Ziming that the waitress was talking about.

"He just got here. He has friends dining here, so he didn't go to his private room," the waitress explained.

"Chef Liu, go to the kitchen and prepare the squirrel mandarin fish," Manager Huang said, no longer concerned about the competition. In his eyes, compared to taking care of Young Master Wang, the competition with Jaxon was of much less importance.

"No need," Chef Liu shook his head. "We already have some ready here."

It was then that everyone realized that they had two freshly cooked squirrel mandarin fish right next to them. It was just a coincidence.

"Yeah, I was in a hurry," Manager Huang slapped his head and said, "Let's send this one over."

"Wait!" Seeing the waitress about to take the dish away, Manager Huang suddenly called out to her, "Send the other one over as well!"

Originally, Manager Huang was thinking about how to pass on his thoughts to the waitress, but Young Master Wang's arrival changed his mind.

Wang Ziming was a regular and important guest here. Whenever he came, he would definitely order the squirrel mandarin fish made by Chef Liu. According to him, he had tried this dish in many restaurants, but the one made by Chef Liu was the only one he truly enjoyed. It suited his taste the best.

So, even if the dish made by Jaxon was good, it would be useless if it didn't suit Wang Ziming's taste. If Wang Ziming had to choose, he would definitely go for the one made by Chef Liu.

This was a sure-win situation, and Wang Ziming's arrival was just in time!

"Manager Huang, that's not appropriate, is it? You want Young Master Wang to be the judge?" Geng Yafei frowned.

"There's nothing inappropriate about it," Manager Huang said, "Young Master Wang has tasted many fine dishes. He could even be a judge for a food show. Being a temporary judge here is more than enough."

"I agree with Manager Huang. Young Master Wang is the most suitable to be the judge!" Liu Bing also said.

Both Geng Yafei and Liu Bing knew Wang Ziming, and they were aware that he had a preference for the squirrel mandarin fish made by the head chef of Kaillemen. This was not a secret in their circle.

So, Manager Huang's choice of Wang Ziming as the judge was clearly unfavorable to Jaxon.

"Do you have any objections?" Manager Huang looked at Jaxon.

"None," Jaxon said, "It's your turn to find a judge anyway. You can choose whoever you want."

"Alright then," Manager Huang said.

"I haven't seen Young Master Wang for a while. It's a good opportunity to meet him today," Liu Bing said.

"I'll go too," Geng Yafei said, "Teacher Jaxon, you should come with us."

"Him? What kind of status does he have? Young Master Wang is not someone he can just meet," Liu Bing looked at Jaxon disdainfully.

"I'll take him with me! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!" Geng Yafei said angrily.

Their circle was indeed not a place for just anyone to enter. Without some status, it was clearly not possible. As a regular physical education teacher, Jaxon apparently did not have the qualifications to enter their circle. Even a simple meeting, in Liu Bing's view, was not something Jaxon had the right to.

Jaxon originally did not want to go. He had little interest in the circle of rich second-generation individuals. However, since Geng Yafei insisted on inviting him, he could not refuse.

In the end, Jaxon, Geng Yafei, Liu Bing, Chef Liu, and Manager Huang all went to the private room where Young Master Wang was. As for Li Tian and the others, although they were envious and wanted to go, they did not dare to follow. They were eager to enter that circle, but Liu Bing had no intention of inviting them, so naturally, they had no way to go along.

"Young Master Wang, you came to dine but didn't let us know in advance. We could have prepared better in the kitchen," as soon as they entered the private room, Manager Huang greeted a young man sitting at the table.

However, while greeting him, his eyelid twitched slightly, and his gaze swept past the person next to him.

 At this moment, Young Master Wang was not sitting in the main seat. The main seat was occupied by another young man, whom Manager Huang did not recognize, but he could tell that the person's status was definitely not simple, at least higher than Young Master Wang's, otherwise, he would not be sitting in the main seat.

 Geng Yafei seemed to have also noticed the situation and felt a bit regretful for bringing Jaxon here.

 Originally, Geng Yafei wanted to introduce Jaxon to Young Master Wang, which would not have been a bad thing for Jaxon. She was doing it for his benefit.

 However, it was clear that Young Master Wang was not the host of this private room today. He might have some important matters to discuss now. Bringing a stranger here like this seemed inappropriate.

 Liu Bing, on the other hand, seemed not to have noticed anything and greeted Young Master Wang warmly.

 "You've prepared quite well, haven't you? I just placed the order, and you've already brought the dishes. Moreover, you brought two portions. What, do you think I can eat a lot and worry that one portion won't be enough for me?" Young Master Wang said with a smile, without the arrogance that Liu Bing had.

 "It's just a coincidence," Manager Huang said. "Chef Liu happened to be in a cooking competition and made this dish. When we heard that Young Master Wang had arrived, we sent it over."

 "Oh? Someone is challenging Chef Liu in a cooking competition? In Jiangzhou, is there a chef better than Chef Liu?" Young Master Wang seemed a bit surprised. "No wonder Chef Liu is here in person today. So, the person challenging Chef Liu is the one next to Yafei?"

 "Young Master Wang, his name is Jaxon. He is a physical education teacher at Goldenleaf University," Geng Yafei introduced.

 "A physical education teacher at Goldenleaf University, your colleague?" Young Master Wang said. "Why would a physical education teacher, who should be focusing on teaching sports, come to challenge in a cooking competition?"

 His words implied that Jaxon was overestimating his abilities. After all, he had dined here several times and knew the level of Chef Liu's skills. Not to mention a physical education teacher, even professional chefs from other restaurants would hardly claim to surpass Chef Liu, especially in making squirrel mandarin fish.
