The night was like a curtain, slowly drawing down, covering the heat and noise of the day.
The lights dimmed and the world outside the window became blurry, as if everything had stopped at this moment.
As the night deepens, the once bustling streets gradually become quiet, leaving only the swaying lanterns in the distance shining alone in the dark night.
At this time, in the private room of Tianzihao in Jufulou Building, a beautiful figure was sitting in front of the desk, listening to the report of his subordinates.
"Miss, I mingled among the crowd today and watched the whole process of the demonstration by the new chef of Fuchun Restaurant."
"This person's name is Cheng Yao. Although he looks young, he does have some skills. My skills and experience are not inferior to those of our masters in Jufu Tower."
"Whether it was the knife skills or the control of the fire, he seemed to be at ease, which shocked everyone present."
"And according to what she said, she plans to demonstrate it for three days in a row. She must be very confident in her cooking skills."
"So my subordinate came here specifically to ask the eldest lady for instructions. Do I need to continue to observe?"
There was a lot of commotion in Fuchun Restaurant today. Gongsun Yue had many eyes and ears in Yuecheng, so he naturally knew about it.
The Jufu Restaurant under her name has always been the largest restaurant in Yuecheng, but now the Fuchun Restaurant appears out of thin air.
Although on the surface he was sending a message of war to Huanxi Downstairs, he was actually secretly observing Jufulou's reaction.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so they are not playing funny games.
However, after Gongsun Yue heard the lavish scenes described by his subordinates, he couldn't help but become a little curious about Cheng Yao and Fuchun Restaurant.
She knows the people under her very well and would not dare to make random reports. Is this little girl who has just arrived really that powerful?
Hearing that Cheng Yao was going to show off for three consecutive days, Gongsun Yue thought for a while and decided to stay put.
Let your men investigate for another day before considering the next arrangements.
"You will go to investigate as usual tomorrow and come back immediately to report any new information."
"I'm also quite curious about how big a storm she can stir up."
"Although our guests at Jufulou today are no different from those in the past, and the tables are still full, the contents of the conversations between the guests at the dinner table are surprisingly consistent, and they are all talking about the new chef from Fuchun Restaurant."
"It's just that it has this effect on the first day. I don't know what new news the guests will have after she finishes the display on the second day."
The person standing aside bowed his head and responded, then quietly retreated and hid in the shadows.
After he left, the original quietness returned to the private room.
Gongsun Yue stood up from her seat, walked to the window, looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and curled her lips.
It's boring after a long time, but it's a bit interesting to see such a person suddenly appear.
Then, she reached out and closed the window, blew out the candles, and left Jufu Tower.
The carriage, which was extremely arrogant during the day, looked particularly low-key in the dark night.
After Gongsun Yue got on the carriage, he disappeared at the end of the road under the cold moonlight.
In the eyes of outsiders, Gongsun Yue is an unruly eldest lady who only knows how to make trouble every day and makes everyone uneasy.
In fact, by wearing this annoying disguise, she reduced her father and brother's fear of her and wandered between different things.
Because of her arrogance and domineering attitude, she was able to remain unmarried and have more opportunities to do as she pleased.
Anyone who sees the city lord's indulgence towards Gongsun Yue will probably preconceptionally think that Gongsun Yue is his most beloved child.
But no one knows better than Gongsun Yue himself. The so-called indulgence is not love, but just helplessness towards cats and dogs.
As long as Gongsun Yue does not touch their core interests, no matter how many things he does to trouble ordinary people, he will not be scolded.
Even if something goes wrong, getting more money to compensate can always turn things around. But if Gongsun Yue shows some unnecessary thoughts, he will be severely stopped.
Ever since she was sensible, the first time she showed interest in the management of Yuecheng, she was quietly removed from the transfer of power by her father.
They are always brainwashing her. Women should be meek and courteous, and should not try to control things that do not belong to them.
But Gongsun Yue was very rebellious. The more her father and brother said this, the more dissatisfied she became.
She can do things that she can't do on the surface in private, right?
Jufulou is a coin bag given to her by her father. She only needs to take money from it, and she does not need to worry about the rest.
But Gongsun Yue unknowingly had the actual power of Jufulou in his hands.
Money is indeed important. With money, many things become easier.
Verbal sweet words are not love. Where money and power are, love is.
Gongsun Yue was unwilling to give in. She was obviously much stronger than her brother, so why was she not qualified to succeed him?
She has been lying dormant in secret for many years, just so that one day she can remove her brainless brother from his position as the successor to the city lord!
However, this plan is really too long.
Fortunately, no matter how long the darkness lasts, there will eventually be light one day.
Since the beginning of this spring, my father's health has been getting worse and worse...
While Gongsun Yue was lamenting and feeling sad, her forces were constantly accumulating strength, looking for the right time.
During the long wait, Gongsun Yue couldn't help but feel a little bored.
Cheng Yao was the one who suddenly had an unexpected change, so Gongsun Yue was a little more patient with her.
Gradually, the night faded, and a faint dawn appeared on the horizon.
The light is like a sharp sword, piercing the curtain of the night.
Yesterday's worries and worries disappear as the night fades, replaced by the hope and expectation of a new day.
In this ever-changing world, every day is a new beginning and every night is a new ending.
Time is rolling forward in this cycle.
The display time on the second day came quickly, and the people came as promised.
Today's crowds are even greater than yesterday, and even the private rooms in nearby restaurants are full.
However, these guests did not really want to dine in the restaurant, they just wanted to borrow a good seat to see more clearly.
Cheng Yao stood in Fuchun Restaurant, separated by a door, listening to the noisy people outside, and exhaled a long breath.
Then, he opened his eyes, strode forward without any hesitation, opened the door, and stepped out.
Cheng Yao's appearance triggered a tsunami of cheers.
"Chef Cheng is out!"
"Seeing is worth hearing a hundred times! He is as young as the rumors say!"
"I didn't come yesterday, so I really missed it. Today I specially grabbed a good spot with a great view!"
"Hey, don't squeeze me or step on my feet!"
