Brush Up Your Proficiency

#117 - Grand opening

The appearance of Liang Meng seemed to be the starting signal. Since she stepped in here, Cheng Yufei and Li Nan had been busy, constantly receiving guests from their circle.

Wang Hao and Wang Lan could only observe silently from the side. They had no intention of approaching those who were well-dressed and looked rich and powerful.

Because they were not familiar with these people's circle and could not integrate into it. Of course, with Wang Hao's character, he had no intention of integrating into it.

As time went by, the invited guests arrived one after another. Wang Hao's original worry that the scene would be deserted gradually dissipated, but what followed was another kind of trouble—there were too many people!

This was really a test of their kitchen's ability. Fortunately, they had made sufficient preparations in advance. Otherwise, on the first day of opening, if customers couldn't get food because there were no ingredients, and such a farce occurred, they would inevitably be laughed at in the future!

Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, this was really a tangled day. But fortunately, the increase in the number of people meant that he could brush up his proficiency and improve his cooking skills faster, which could be considered a good thing.

"Feifei, is that the chef you praised so much, who looks a little silly? I don't think he's anything special." A rich second generation who was greeting Cheng Yufei cast his eyes on Wang Hao, with a hint of contempt on his face.

Hearing this, Cheng Yufei frowned and reprimanded the handsome man named Sun Lei unceremoniously: "Sun Lei, who are you calling silly? If you can't speak, shut your mouth!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about your people. You've already bragged so much. If the food today is not delicious, then you have to accept the bet!" Sun Lei said, looking at Cheng Yufei with a mischievous smile on his face. The people next to him also looked at the two of them arguing with a smile, with an expression of watching a good show.

Only Liang Meng frowned slightly, wanting to retort for Cheng Yufei, but she still held back.

Cheng Yufei felt a little uncomfortable being watched by him, but she still replied: "I will definitely not lose, I just don't want you to be too embarrassed."

"Haha, that's good, we'll wait and see." Sun Lei laughed, a smug look flashing in his eyes.

"This is not good, what if you go back on your word if you lose? Or let's forget it, just pretend there is no bet." Cheng Yufei pretended to be calm and persuaded.

"Are you feeling guilty? Bet, we must bet. I even brought my car. If I lose, you can drive the car away!" Sun Lei naturally understood Cheng Yufei's performance as being guilty, and said excitedly.

Then he added: "If you lose, as said before, transfer the restaurant to me at a low price. Anyway, it has no future, and the decoration style also meets my expectations. It's just right to open my fifth bath center."

Sun Lei was not very interested in this restaurant. The real reason why he wanted this restaurant was to disgust the Cheng family. Most of the industries of the Sun and Cheng families are in competition with each other, which also destined Cheng Yufei and Sun Lei to be in the same circle, but related and opposed.

"This…" Cheng Yufei seemed to be possessed by an acting master, with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but stopped, which made everyone subconsciously think that Sun Lei had a higher probability of winning this bet.

Li Nan, as the only one who knew the inside story, listened from the side, and even with her calm personality, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This guy is really a gambler, he even used his beloved car to bet.

But this is also good, so that Feifei can teach him and let him know what it means that there is always someone better, and there is always a higher mountain.

"Okay, okay, you all saw it, it's not that I want his car, it's really because I'm forced to!" Cheng Yufei said innocently, shaking her head and sighing from time to time, as if she had suffered a great grievance, but in fact, she was already overjoyed in her heart.

Cheng Yufei thought: Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This Sun Lei dared to bet with her without understanding her details, he is really burning money, no wonder he was not allowed to take over the family business. It seems that the Sun family still sees him very clearly.

Cheng Yufei was originally just joking about the bet and didn't intend to really trick them, but she didn't expect Sun Lei to take the initiative to come to her door, so she could only helplessly accept this great gift.

On the other side, Wang Hao, who didn't know what those second generations were thinking, was busy all the time.

He watched everyone chatting enthusiastically, engaging in various social activities for the opening.

He was not idle either, instructing the kitchen to pre-process all the ingredients needed on the menu according to his requirements, in order to increase the speed of serving dishes after the opening ceremony at noon.

At the same time, Wang Lan was chatting with her college best friend, with a proud smile on her face.

She praised her brother to her best friend, full of pride in her words.

"Yan Yan, look, I didn't fool you, you didn't even believe me before!" Wang Lan pouted, with an expression of you don't believe me, I'm very hurt.

The girl with smooth long hair opposite Wang Lan seemed to have seen through Wang Lan's acting skills long ago, and said quickly:

"Stop, stop, stop, your brother is so awesome, why are you still posting marriage advertisements in your circle of friends? We've been together for so many years, I know your living conditions, we don't need these虚的! Be good."

The little girl named Tang Yan looked at Wang Lan helplessly, her words full of disbelief.

After all, when they were discussing the postgraduate entrance examination, Wang Lan was still expressing her desire to work and earn money to reduce the burden on her family. It has been less than a month since then, but she told her that her brother had become rich and opened a big restaurant. No one would believe this.

"Hey, you don't believe anything I say. When we eat later, I can only let the restaurant owner prove it to me." Wang Lan showed a distressed look, as if she was very worried about her best friend Tang Yan's intelligence.

"Okay, you dare to dislike me! See if I don't take care of you!" Tang Yan said, reaching out to tickle Wang Lan's ticklish spot.

"Hahahaha… Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Wang Lan laughed so hard that she kept begging for mercy.

The breath of youth was undoubtedly displayed on the two young people, attracting a smile from the guests next to them, as if they saw some beautiful memories in the two of them.

"Dad, Mom, you're here!" With the arrival of Cheng Yufei's parents, the whole scene reached a climax, and the crowd boiled.

Welcomed by the attention of the crowd, Father Cheng and Mother Cheng exchanged greetings with people along the way. After all, they were all here out of respect for the Cheng family, so they had to show their hospitality as the hosts.

Seeing this, Wang Hao knew that Father Cheng, the major shareholder, had contributed a lot to this opening, so he hurried forward and greeted the two elders with a smile.

"Wang Hao, thank you for your hard work today. Everything depends on your performance." Father Cheng looked at the young man in front of him with approval, his eyes flashing with satisfaction, as if he were looking at a dazzling pearl.

His tone was full of expectation and trust, and this emotion was naturally not without reason. Only by personally experiencing those dishes can one truly know the terror of this ordinary-looking young man who gives people an honest feeling. However, now that such a young man is standing on the same side as them, the feeling is very comfortable.

Mother Cheng stood aside, smiling and nodding slightly, expressing her approval of Wang Hao. Her gaze was soft and warm, like the sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely comfortable.

"Don't worry, this is my duty." Wang Hao replied solemnly, his voice firm and powerful. Since he had taken on this responsibility, he would definitely do his best. This was the confidence that the cheat gave him.

At this moment, Li Nan also brought her parents to Wang Hao. Before Li Nan could introduce them, Mother Li couldn't wait to step forward and hold Wang Hao's hand, saying enthusiastically:

"You must be Xiao Hao. I often hear Nan Nan mention you. Today, I finally have the opportunity to meet you in person. I'm so happy! Thank you very much for helping our Nan Nan with her illness. I've always wanted to find a time to visit and thank you properly, but Nan Nan always stopped me."

Mother Li looked at Wang Hao with a kind expression, as if she wanted to burn Wang Hao with her enthusiasm.

The more Mother Li looked at Wang Hao, the more 친절 she felt. She hadn't felt it when she saw the photos before, but now that she looked at him up close, she realized that Wang Hao really had a faint scholarly aura about him, just like her daughter said. As a family of scholars, this temperament made her feel very comfortable.

In Mother Li's opinion, it is very common for such a temperament to appear in a teaching worker who is well-read in poetry and books, but it is quite rare for it to appear in a chef like Wang Hao, which further convinced her of the way to thank Wang Hao.

Father Li also looked at Wang Hao with gratitude from behind, the emotion of wanting to thank him already written on his face.

"Sorry, Wang Hao, my mom is a little too excited. Didn't scare you?" Li Nan quickly interjected.

After hearing Li Nan's words, Wang Hao suddenly realized that this enthusiastic woman was Li Nan's mother. No wonder she was so enthusiastic.

He put himself in her shoes. If his child was sick, he would definitely react the same way. After all, which parent doesn't want their child to be healthy?

Moreover, the fact that he could make dishes that had a self-healing effect on Li Nan's condition was undoubtedly great news for the Li family, and it could heal a family. Therefore, it was only natural for Li Nan's parents to react this way.

Wang Hao quickly said modestly, "No, no, Auntie, you're too polite. This is all I should do. You don't have to take it too seriously. It's really nothing."

Wang Hao sincerely expressed his thoughts, and at the same time, he felt the enthusiasm of the Li family. Although he understood the feelings of being a parent, this enthusiasm still made him feel a little flattered and even a little at a loss.

At the same time, Father Cheng and Mother Cheng looked at everything in front of them with confusion.

They knew nothing about Wang Hao's treatment of the illness, because Cheng Yufei had not told them about it.

After all, judging from Father Cheng's attitude at the time, even if Cheng Yufei had said it, they might not have believed it and would have thought that Cheng Yufei was saying something nonsense.

So now, facing the things that the Li family was talking about, they seemed a little dazed.

The two families were old acquaintances. For the doubts raised by Father Cheng, Father Li did not hide anything. After giving Wang Hao a grateful look, he carefully told Father Cheng and Mother Cheng the ins and outs of the matter, and while talking, he sighed at his daughter's luck.

As Father Li recounted, the two people's original confused expressions began to become solemn. Slowly, slowly, the solemnity turned into shock. They looked at Wang Hao with disbelief, completely forgetting their facial expression management.

Cheng Father and Cheng Mother naturally knew about Li Nan's physical condition as two families with close relations.

They had also helped to find experts in this field before, and they had found well-known experts at home and abroad, but without exception, they were all disappointed replies.

But now, Father Li suddenly told them that the health-preserving dishes made by Wang Hao might actually cure this disease that countless experts were helpless with, and that these types of dishes had a strong health-care effect on most people's bodies. How could they not be shocked?

If they hadn't heard Father Li say it with their own ears, they would never have believed it.

"Feifei really found a treasure!" These words kept appearing in the hearts of Father Cheng and Mother Cheng, and they couldn't help but feel that fate was so magical.

No one knows the value of this ability better than them. For people in their position, when money and career are not a problem, health is undoubtedly their biggest concern.

And Wang Hao's existence is like being able to fix health, this invisible but important thing, on their bodies. The value of it is simply immeasurable.

Looking at Wang Hao, who was standing calmly on the side, in their eyes, it seemed that under this calm appearance, there was a mysterious essence hidden that even they felt. If that essence were to manifest, it would be enough to set off a shocking wave.

"Feifei, is this true?" Mother Cheng grabbed Cheng Yufei with a surprised expression, her voice slightly trembling as she asked softly. She seemed unable to believe the news she had heard and needed to confirm it again.

"Yes, I went to the hospital with Nannan for the examination at that time, so there should be no mistake." Cheng Yufei nodded without hesitation, her tone firm and affirmative. This matter has been verified and confirmed by two different hospitals, and the possibility of error is minimal.

Upon receiving such a definite answer from their daughter, joy instantly filled the faces of Father Cheng and Mother Cheng, as if they had been struck by a powerful surprise.

Their eyes were fixed on Wang Hao, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

At this moment, they deeply felt Wang Hao's value and importance, and secretly rejoiced that they had not stopped their daughter's choice at the beginning, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

At this moment, Chang Lei stepped forward, politely greeted the four elders, and then led Wang Hao and the other shareholders away, preparing to begin the restaurant's opening ceremony.
