The Investigation Behind the Scenes

"Even a millionaire still has to buy ingredients to make skewers, right?" Jaxon muttered to himself.

After leaving the timber market, Jaxon went to the grocery market to buy ingredients. Since Zhao Yanan's payment wouldn't come for another two months, Jaxon, despite seemingly being wealthy now, didn't have much cash on hand. Until he received that payment, he still had to make barbecue to support himself.

While Jaxon was browsing the market and buying ingredients, Kong Hailin and Wang Ziming were sitting in a private room, talking about him.

"Here are the files you asked for, Young Master Kong," Wang Ziming said, pushing a stack of documents towards Kong Hailin.

Kong Hailin casually picked up the files and began to read. The more he read, the more contemptuous his expression became.

"A guy who makes barbecue and lives in a rental apartment actually thinks he can compete with me for a woman?" Kong Hailin said with disdain as he put the files back on the table.

After learning about Jaxon's background, Kong Hailin was certain that Jaxon was not in the same league as him. In his eyes, people like Jaxon were like ants, not even worth a second glance.

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding here, Young Master Kong?" Wang Ziming hesitated and said. He had also read the files before giving them to Kong Hailin, so he was aware of Jaxon's situation. Because of the previous cooking competition, Wang Ziming not only had no ill feelings towards Jaxon but also had a good impression of him. He didn't want to see Jaxon and Kong Hailin become enemies.

"Jaxon is just an ordinary guy. How could he have any connection with Miss Liu? Could Miss Liu possibly be interested in him? I think there must be some misunderstanding," Wang Ziming said.

Wang Ziming didn't look down on Jaxon, but in their circle, whether it came to love or marriage, it was all about matching social status. The gap between Jaxon and Chloe was just too big. Wang Ziming couldn't imagine that Chloe would have any relationship with Jaxon.

"Whether or not there's a relationship between them, just for the attitude he showed me yesterday, I can't let him off easily!" Kong Hailin said.

In Kong Hailin's view, Jaxon's attitude towards him yesterday was disrespectful and contemptuous, and it needed to be punished!

After reading Jaxon's files, Kong Hailin's thoughts were similar to Wang Ziming's. He also thought it was impossible for Jaxon and Chloe to have any close relationship because the gap between them was just too large.

Wang Ziming thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to deal with Jaxon. He's just an ordinary person. But if Miss Liu finds out about this, she might be unhappy. Even if there's no relationship between them, Jaxon was brought by Miss Liu. If we deal with Jaxon, it would be like not giving Miss Liu any face."

Wang Ziming's words made Kong Hailin hesitate.

Indeed, even when dealing with a dog, one should consider its owner. If he really dealt with Jaxon, it would be like slapping Chloe in the face, which could very likely upset her.

"So, just let it go?" Kong Hailin said reluctantly.

"How about I meet Jaxon?" Wang Ziming also saw Kong Hailin's reluctance and thought Kong Hailin might still want to do something to Jaxon. "I'll tell him to stay away from Miss Liu in the future and have him apologize to Young Master Kong. How about that?"

"Alright, I'll give you this face," Kong Hailin said.

Although in Kong Hailin's eyes, this was still letting Jaxon off too easily, he had to give Wang Ziming some face. Moreover, he also had to consider Chloe's feelings. This was indeed a pretty good solution.

"Young Master Kong is so magnanimous!" Wang Ziming said with a smile. "Here, let's drink. To Young Master Kong's success in winning the fair lady's heart."

"Chloe is not that easy to pursue," Kong Hailin finally smiled. "In the capital, so many people have chased after her, but she doesn't even glance at them. However, I believe she will be mine in the end!"

"That's for sure. Young Master Kong and Miss Liu are a perfect match and will surely end up together," Wang Ziming said.

"Haha, that's right," Kong Hailin laughed even more happily.

Kong Hailin seemed to have a better impression of Wang Ziming now.

In fact, the two were not very familiar before. Kong Hailin came to Goldenleaf to see Chloe, and Wang Ziming was introduced to him by someone else. It was always good to have more acquaintances in the area; it made things easier.

Wang Ziming was also very good at socializing, which left a good impression on Kong Hailin. He thought that maybe the two could stay in touch more in the future.

Wang Ziming was very attentive to Kong Hailin. For Wang Ziming and his family, getting to know Kong Hailin was an opportunity, and he truly cherished it.

However, what Kong Hailin didn't know was that after spending some time together, Wang Ziming didn't actually have a very good impression of him. Of course, Wang Ziming was not the kind of person to let his personal feelings get in the way of such an opportunity. On the contrary, he took good care of Kong Hailin and handled the tasks given by him very seriously and effectively.

After Kong Hailin left in high spirits, Wang Ziming didn't leave immediately. Instead, he picked up the files that Kong Hailin had casually discarded on the table and looked through them again.

In fact, before giving the files to Kong Hailin, Wang Ziming had already read through them several times and had a clear understanding of Jaxon's situation. However, he still picked up the files and looked through them again.

"Jaxon is quite interesting," Wang Ziming muttered to himself.

When Kong Hailin looked through Jaxon's files, he only skimmed through them. After seeing that Jaxon had no special background, he didn't pay any more attention to him. However, Wang Ziming found some things in the files that made him feel puzzled, which was why he couldn't help but read through Jaxon's files several times.

There were two things that puzzled Wang Ziming. One was where Jaxon's cooking skills came from, and the other was why he suddenly became a teacher at Goldenleaf University.

Wang Ziming didn't find anything wrong with Jaxon's previous study and work experience. At most, he thought Jaxon seemed to be a bit unlucky. However, he was puzzled by Jaxon's cooking skills and his identity as a teacher.

It's not strange that Jaxon, who lives alone, can cook for himself. But that's just cooking. Many people can do that. Then, how could Jaxon, who only relied on his own exploration, surpass Chef Liu in cooking skills? There are not many people in Goldenleaf who can do that.

Wang Ziming thought it was a bit unlikely.
