Chapter 451: Shengzai makes a comeback! Is this the celebrity effect?

"Mr. Shengzai, I really didn't expect to meet you here.

Ever since we parted last time, I have been wanting to visit you in Tokyo. It is because of this that I was invited to be a guest at the Totsuki Resort this time.

I didn't expect you to be a student at Totsuki, Mr. Shengzai. This is really surprising."

Looking at Yue Jian Guang, who was acting so familiar and flattering, Ma Like, who was on the side, immediately showed a look of disdain.

The dog was even better at bootlicking than him. If Lao Jin wasn't here, his bootlicking skills obviously weren't the other party's match!

"All employees, relatives, and friends of the Ma Like family at the venue, come over here and taste the shumai made by my Big Brother Shengzai!"

Yue Jian Guang, who had originally been thinking about how to get close to Shengzai and try to get Shengzai to sell the rare ingredients he hunted to them the next time he entered the Gourmet World, was stunned when he heard Ma Like's sudden shout.

Soon after, when he saw the portions of "Three-Egg Shumai" placed in front of Shengzai, he instantly understood Ma Like's intention and also shouted without showing weakness: "People from the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce, all gather over here."

"Old dog Yue Jian, you are too hypocritical. You haven't even tasted Big Brother Shengzai's cooking, yet you let your people come over. If others saw this, they would think you were helping to stuff the ballot box.

But I am different. I just ate Big Brother Shengzai's 'Three-Egg Shumai,' and because I felt it was very delicious, I let my employees come to taste it."

Suddenly being called an old dog, Yue Jian Guang's face immediately became a bit ugly. However, compared to losing face, Yue Jian Guang was more worried about whether Shengzai would be angry because of this.

The rare ingredients Shengzai sold to their chamber of commerce last time not only made him a lot of money but also made the performance of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce in their camp area lead the many chambers of commerce in the human world this month.

The Gourmet Association has huge energy, and its power encompasses both the human world and the Gourmet World.

And naturally, there couldn't be only one branch of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce in the human world.

"Young Master Ma Like, you are wrong. The reason I let my employees come over without tasting Mr. Shengzai's cooking is not to deliberately curry favor with Mr. Shengzai.

It is because I have confidence in Mr. Shengzai's cooking. After all, Mr. Shengzai's culinary skills have been recognized by many Gourmet Hunters in the camp before."

It's no wonder that people who do business have flexible brains. Regarding Ma Like's difficulty, Yue Jian Guang immediately gave a very reasonable reason after seeing that Shengzai was not angry.

Soon, when the people from the Ma Like family and the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce all gathered in front of Shengzai's cooking station, the two groups of people directly clashed!

"Any employee of my Ma Like Group who can eat more than two portions of shumai will get a 10% raise in their salary this month for every extra portion they eat!"

Because this assessment was conducted in the form of a buffet, there was no restriction that each guest could only eat one person's cooking, or that one person could only eat one portion.

So when the people from the Ma Like Group heard Ma Like's words, they were instantly like they had been injected with chicken blood.

Eating one portion of shumai would increase their salary by 10%, so wouldn't eating ten portions of shumai double their salary this month?

Not to mention that the "Three-Egg Shumai" the young master asked them to eat was indeed delicious, under such heavy rewards, they would swallow it with a smile even if it were dark cuisine!

Facing the wealthy Ma Like, Yue Jian Guang's face was also ugly. He never expected that Ma Like, this little brat, would use this method to curry favor with Shengzai.

He actually wanted to do the same with money offensives, but unfortunately, although Yue Jian Guang was not short of money, he was far from being as wealthy as Ma Like.

The total assets of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce would certainly not lose to a mere Ma Like Group.

But the point was that he was only appointed as the president, but the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce was not his property.

"All employees of the Gourmet Chamber of Commerce, as long as you can eat more than ten portions of shumai, I will promote you and give you a raise when you return to the chamber of commerce."

As the president of the chamber of commerce, he still had the power to arrange positions.

"That's enough from you two. From now on, each person is limited to eating one portion of 'Three-Egg Shumai'!

And if you do this, not only will it not make me happy, but it will also tire me to death!"

Seeing the vicious competition between Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang intensifying, Shengzai hurriedly stepped forward to stop them.

Just kidding, although the assessment didn't limit a guest from eating multiple portions of the same dish at the same time, if this continued, how would he, Shengzai, be any different from someone stuffing the ballot box?

"Big Brother Shengzai, I'm really sorry. I'll leave first, and we'll talk later."

"Mr. Shengzai, this was indeed my lack of consideration, causing you trouble. Please forgive me. I will come to apologize in person later."

After seeing that Shengzai was really angry, Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang finally realized that they seemed to have gone too far, so they hurriedly took their people and left.

But although they left, the disturbance they caused attracted the attention of many other guests at the venue.

As mentioned before, Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang were also big shots with status in the culinary circle.

Everyone saw the behavior of the two deliberately currying favor with Shengzai just now, whether out of curiosity or because of interests and other factors.

In short, after Yue Jian Guang and Ma Like left, many big shots in the culinary industry also walked to Shengzai's cooking station one after another and began to taste the shumai Shengzai made while trying to get information.

And it didn't matter if they didn't eat it, but once they did, everyone discovered that although the "Three-Egg Shumai" Shengzai made was not as good as the dishes of many Totsuki students at the venue in terms of presentation, this taste...

Those culinary big shots who had tasted it could all conclude that this shumai was one of the most delicious dishes in the entire venue!

So the question arises: was it because of his culinary talent that Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang were so polite to this boy before?

That's right, the other party was so young yet had such culinary skills; he was indeed a very talented person.

But with the status of Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang, would they deliberately curry favor with this boy just because he was quite talented?

After some probing, although these culinary celebrities gained nothing, which of the big shots who could mix in the business circle was not a human spirit?

Shengzai's shumai was indeed delicious, and Ma Like and Yue Jian Guang's deliberate currying favor with Shengzai must have had their reasons.

No matter the reason, they didn't mind doing Shengzai a favor at the moment.

So soon, these culinary big shots also began a new round of calling friends...
