Era: You're asked to cook a home-style dish, but you cook Wellington.

Gao Yang and Su Wanqing had just finished dealing with Zhang Kui's troubles and were about to take Old Chen back to his private room.

Sudden.

"Excuse me, I also have a problem. I think your desserts are very interesting."

Gao Yang saw a hot and beautiful woman leaning out of the door, half of her body against the door frame.

She exuded allure, her chest was snow-white, and her waist was as slender as a snake, all of which were on full display.

"I'm not satisfied with your other dishes though. They didn't use any expensive ingredients. They were really boring."

"Young man, I'm a chef too. If you're interested, come over here, I can teach you."

Kawasaki Yuki raised her eyebrows, looking incredibly alluring.

Gao Yang paused slightly, then subtly shielded Su Wanqing to his side.

He looked up at Kawasaki Yuki, who was leaning against the door frame. His eyes were calm and unwavering, and he was not swayed in the slightest by her deliberately flirtatious demeanor. Instead, a chill emanated from his body.

This woman is acting strangely; it's definitely not just about stirring up trouble.

The gentle smile on Su Wanqing's face faded, and she frowned imperceptibly.

As intelligent as she was, she immediately saw through the woman's ill intentions and realized that she was not simply there to comment on the dishes.

Her expression turned cold. This woman looked like she was from Japan.

Kawasaki Yuki walked slowly forward in her high heels, her figure swaying, each step carrying a deliberate allure. Her gaze was fixed on Gao Yang, scrutinizing him from head to toe, her eyes filled with scrutiny and an aggressive determination to win him over.

She walked straight past Su Wanqing, as if she didn't see the owner of the Su family's island; her eyes were only on Gao Yang.

"Miss, the dishes at our Su Family Island have been witnessed by all the CEOs present. Whether they suit your taste is a matter of personal opinion, but your statement is somewhat biased."

Su Wanqing spoke first, her tone calm yet sharp, subtly regaining control of the conversation.

Kawasaki Yuki then slowly glanced at Su Wanqing, a contemptuous smile playing on her lips, her tone languid and slightly provocative.

"You're Su Wanqing? You're indeed young, but your taste isn't very good. The dishes you chose are too small-scale, made with ordinary ingredients. They can't live up to the standards of a high-end restaurant."

She looked at Gao Yang again, gently brushing her long hair behind her ear, her eyes alluring, her tone undisguisedly seductive.

"Young man, with your culinary skills, it's a waste for you to stay in this small place."

"I am Kawasaki Yuki, I come from Japan, and I have top-notch ingredients and resources. As long as you come with me, I guarantee you will rise to the top in the catering industry and have whatever you want. It's much better than suffering here."

"Besides, with my cooking skills, I can personally teach you. Don't you want to learn?"

As she spoke, she subtly lifted a corner of her dress.

These words were clearly an attempt to poach talent from the enemy's camp in public, and a slap in the face to the Su family's island.

When Mr. Chen and the other executives heard the commotion, they all looked over, and their expressions changed slightly.

This woman has a sharp aura and is obviously someone important. She came here to target the Su family's island right away and even poached the head chef. She's deliberately looking for trouble.

What's most unusual is that this woman is from Japan.

Old Chen's face was gloomy.

Japan launched a war to invade our country, and we finally managed to drive them away. Now they dare to act recklessly on our territory.

Gao Yang remained calm throughout, his sharp gaze sweeping over Kawasaki Yuki before he spoke softly.

"Thank you for your kind words, Miss Kawasaki, but since I am staying on the Su family's island, I will not leave easily."

"Furthermore, ingredients are not inherently valuable or cheap; it is the skill of the cook that matters. No matter how good the ingredients are, without the support of superb culinary skills, it is nothing but a waste. The real skill lies in making ordinary ingredients taste exceptional."

His voice was cold and unmoved as he directly refuted Kawasaki Yuki.

"If Ms. Kawasaki does not find the food to her liking, she is free to leave at any time. Su Family Island does not force anyone to consume, nor does it accept unwarranted provocations."

Wu Zhou also rushed over from the kitchen and stood beside Gao Yang, staring coldly at Kawasaki Yuki, his whole body full of vigilance.

He had just proven himself with his skills when someone came to cause trouble and poach him, and he immediately frowned.

"You Japanese dare to run wild on our territory? Aren't you afraid of eating another little boy?"

Kawasaki Yuki was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then she realized what was going on.

Instead of being annoyed, she smiled even more charmingly, took a step forward, her sleeve brushing against Wu Zhou's face, and stopped in front of Gao Yang, her tone seductive.

"Oh? So much backbone? I like you even more now. Don't regret it, though, no one I, Kawasaki Yuki, have ever failed to get."

"I won't hold it against you today, but we'll meet again soon."

Her gaze swept over Su Wanqing and the other two, a cruel certainty flashing in her eyes. She then turned around, waved to the burly man behind her, said no more, and strode away in her high heels.

Only after Kawasaki Yuki's figure completely disappeared did Su Wanqing breathe a sigh of relief and look at Gao Yang with a worried tone.

"This woman is no ordinary person. She has a powerful aura and brought quite a few people with her. She's clearly here for our island."

Gao Yang watched Kawasaki Yuki's swaying figure disappear at the end of the corridor before the coldness in his eyes subsided slightly. He turned to look at Su Wanqing, his tone calm and steady.

"She was definitely targeting us, and her goal was clear: to poach me, suppress Xiaodao, and ultimately devour the entire high-end catering market in Yuncheng."

Old Chen walked over slowly, leaning on his cane, his face extremely sullen. Kawasaki Yuki's words about Japan, coupled with her deliberate flirtatious manner, had made the old man's anger rise.

"From Japan? Hmph, what they couldn't take with guns and cannons back then, they think they can take with a few cooks? Something that can't even be taken off the table, dream on!"

He raised his hand and patted Gao Yang on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval and support.

"Gao Yang, what you said earlier was right. Ingredients have no inherent value; skill is fundamental. What does it matter if Japan has the most precious seafood? They still live a primitive, unsavory life."

"This woman dares to act wildly on our turf! I, Chen, will be the first to object!"

The other executives nearby echoed his sentiments, filled with righteous indignation.

Despite the fierce infighting among these bigwigs, they can unite and work together to eliminate any external threat.

"President Su, Chef Gao, this woman is clearly here to provoke us! Every one of us here is a prominent figure in Yuncheng. Anyone who dares to help Japan suppress your island will be going against us all!"

"That's right! We acknowledge the craftsmanship of the Su family's island; it's a reflection of Yuncheng's reputation, and we absolutely cannot allow outsiders to trample on it!"

Su Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart, suppressed her worries, and bowed slightly to everyone.

"Thank you all for your support. Su Family Island wouldn't be where it is today without your help. We will handle the rest of the matter properly and will definitely not let you down."

"Okay, then please let us know if you need anything, and we will fully support you."

"That's right, we will definitely support them to the end and absolutely not let these Japanese countries gain any advantage."

These bosses were furious.

Gao Yang stared into the distance, silently thinking about something. The road ahead probably wouldn't be easy.
