Protagonist:

Lu Feng

When he said these words, his eyes remained fixed on Cheng Fan's expression.

This grand promise was just right; after hearing it, Cheng Fan's complexion improved slightly.

But he still felt somewhat unconvinced: "Boss Li, last time in his shop, you blacklisted me in front of so many people, and today you said my Red Braised Pork was mediocre. If I don't vent this anger, I simply can't calm down to cook."

After speaking, he raised his head, staring at Li Hong'an with a stubborn look in his eyes: "Aren't you very familiar with Lu Feng? Go tell him to have a cook-off with me. I want him to admit in public that his cooking skill can't compare to mine!"

After hearing this, Li Hong'an smiled wryly and waved his hand: "Cheng Fan, you don't understand Lu Feng's temper. He's a bit stubborn when speaking the truth. If my words carried weight, you wouldn't have been the one to come work as Master Chef for me back then."

"I don't care anyway."

Cheng Fan slumped back onto the sofa and said muffledly: "Anyway, I must have a cook-off with him. Otherwise, I really can't swallow this anger."

Li Hong'an had no choice. This Cheng Fan was clearly determined to hit the south wall before turning back.

As for whose culinary skill was stronger between him and Lu Feng, anyone who had eaten food made by both of them could tell at once.

But this kid had never tasted it, and now he was dead set on comparing himself with Lu Feng before he would give up.

Li Hong'an was just about to persuade Cheng Fan a few more words when a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

If these two could really have a cook-off at Hong'an Restaurant, wouldn't that be a ready-made gimmick?

A cook-off between the disciple of a State Banquet Chef and the boss of a street-side small shop.

Using this as a gimmick for promotion might attract quite a few new customers coming to see the excitement.

Even if Cheng Fan lost at that time, it wouldn't matter.

First, it could kill this kid's arrogant sharpness.

Second, it could use this cook-off to promote the restaurant and boost Hong'an Restaurant's fame.

By then, regardless of the cook-off result, Hong'an Restaurant would become the focus of everyone's attention.

The more Li Hong'an thought about it, the better he felt about this idea, and his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

He looked at Cheng Fan, sprawled on the sofa watching videos, and cleared his throat: "Do you really want to have a cook-off with Lu Feng?"

Hearing this, Cheng Fan immediately became spirited and sat up straight at once: "Boss Li, have you thought of a way?"

Li Hong'an didn't rush to answer; he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

When he saw Cheng Fan was getting impatient, he slowly spoke: "There is a method worth trying, but whether it will succeed, I can't say for sure. After all, I'm not certain whether Lu Feng will accept the challenge, and it also requires your cooperation."

"Boss Li, tell me quickly."

Cheng Fan stood up directly from the sofa, quickly walked over, and sat opposite Li Hong'an: "As long as you can arrange a cook-off between us two, I'll do whatever cooperation is needed!"

Seeing him so cooperative, Li Hong'an spoke out the plan in his heart.

Cheng Fan sat opposite, listening and nodding at the same time.

Hearing until the end, Cheng Fan suddenly smacked the table: "Good! I'll do it exactly as Boss Li arranges!"

The atmosphere in the office finally relaxed a bit. Li Hong'an tapped the table with his finger and reminded solemnly: "Alright, don't get too carried away. Do the things on your hands well. If you quarrel with customers again in the coming days, I won't care about this cook-off matter anymore."

Cheng Fan nodded immediately and promised with a serious face: "Don't worry, Boss Li! I promise not to cause trouble!"

His mind was now full of the cook-off with Lu Feng, and he had taken some of Li Hong'an's words to heart.

At this moment, Cheng Fan's resentment toward Lu Feng had lessened considerably, replaced by burning fighting spirit.

This time, he must let everyone know that his culinary skill, Cheng Fan's, is the best!

…………

On the other side, Xiao Feilong and the three anchors he brought today ate to their full satisfaction at Lu Feng's shop.

After returning at night, Gu Manman and Li Wenyi really promoted Lu Feng's shop in the fan group.

Their fan groups were full of food lovers from all over the country.

After seeing the messages they sent, many people responded in turn, saying they would definitely come personally to taste it.

But Zhang Chao was different from them. His fans were a group of young people who loved playing games.

So the message he posted in the fan group was quickly scrolled off screen by a group of people discussing games.

However, Zhang Chao was an upright person. Coincidentally, he had a livestream at ten-thirty tonight.

After finishing a ranked match, he gulped down a mouthful of Iced Cola on the table.

After clearing his throat, he directly faced the microphone and began advertising Lu Feng's shop in the Live Stream Room.

"Brothers, before starting the next game, the Anchor has something serious to tell you first."

"The Anchor himself follows the principle of sharing good things, and recommends to everyone a gi—Delicious Immortal Restaurant!"

"The address has been posted on the Bullet Screen. Brothers who haven't eaten there, listen to the Anchor, you must go try it!"

As soon as the words fell, the bullet screen in the Live Stream Room was instantly flooded.

"??? What's wrong with Brother Chao today? Did he take an ad?"

"The Anchor is neglecting his proper business! Play your game well, what ad are you playing?"

"I said, why did Brother Chao post an ad in the group? He must have been paid, right?"

"He must have been paid. Otherwise, how would a game anchor recommend food? Brother Chao isn't a Food Anchor."

"First time seeing Brother Chao play an ad. Anyway, I have to support him. If it's delicious, I'll go!"

"Brother Chao, is it reliable? Last time a Food Anchor recommended a shop, I went and tried it once. Since then, I've never believed places recommended by anchors again!"

Zhang Chao looked at the messages in the bullet screen, then said in the Live Stream Room: "Ad? Brothers, rest assured. Those who know me know the Anchor never takes money to play ads."

"You'll know once you go. That boss's culinary skill is top-notch! He doesn't need me to play ads for him at all!"

Once those words were out, the bullet comments said everything under the sun.

Some expressed support, all saying they would definitely go.

Others didn't believe it, saying how could any streamer be willing to advertise for a merchant for free.

They felt either Zhang Chao had taken money, or that shop had a trap.

However, Zhang Chao didn't care about this; his fan count was now not small either, and mixing in some black fans was very normal.

Next, he again in the live stream room detailed the situation inside Lu Feng's shop, including those rules and business hours and such.

This way, he could be considered to have promoted Lu Feng once, then opened the next game.

…………

At the same time, inside the rental house at the other end of Jiang City.

Wang Peng, who had just returned home from overtime work, was lying on the bed, the mobile phone in his hand displaying exactly Zhang Chao's live stream screen.
