Chapter 230: Chapter 230: The Aloof and Petty WomanZhang Yang didn’t have any particular thoughts about the Cloud Mushroom dish; he had merely heard that mushrooms from the south were famous and worth trying even if they were poisonous. So, he wanted to taste it, but as Luu Zhichang had said, since Chen Yun had already paid, there was no reason to give up, so he didn’t say much more. After making a good sale, Luu Zhichang immediately ran to the back kitchen. The kitchen staff were surprised by Luu Zhichang’s arrival, but the head chef grasped him immediately, "You’ve come just in time. The guests in Room 888 just provided feedback, saying they’re unwilling to give up the Cloud Mushroom dish. What’s going on? How could you just finalize it for Room 666?" The head chef’s status at Phoenix Hotel was very high, and he was not at all afraid of Luu Zhichang. He looked at Luu Zhichang with great dissatisfaction, demanding an explanation. After all, guests who come to Phoenix Hotel to dine are no simple folks, let alone those from the sixth-floor rooms—they are real big bosses. However, Luu Zhichang nonchalantly said, "It’s just a dish worth one thousand yuan. Later, I’ll send a dish worth five thousand yuan to the guests in Room 888, and I’ll cover the cost." Luu Zhichang didn’t care about such a small amount of money. Besides, he was the manager and had the authority and quota to handle some emergency issues, meaning he didn’t even have to pay out of his own pocket. But the head chef looked at Luu Zhichang like he was looking at an idiot, "Not Fatty Luu, are you out of your mind today? Would the guests in a sixth-floor room care about a dish worth five thousand yuan? They only care about what they want to eat." But Luu Zhichang still casually waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I’ll go and explain it to them personally later. You go about your business, and I’ll check on that Cloud Mushroom dish." "No, you’re not a chef, and according to the rules, you are not qualified to enter the kitchen’s critical area." The head chef also stepped in to stop Luu Zhichang. Luu Zhichang was furious, but he understood that this head chef was a person who simply wouldn’t listen to reason. But he quickly came up with another idea and asked, "Who is the chef in charge of this dish today? I just have some instructions to give and then I’ll be off. I won’t lie to you, those in Room 666 are my old classmates, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing this. Just do me this favor." The head chef frowned, but still reluctantly agreed and turned to call out, "Master Guo, come here, Fatty Luu is looking for you." Upon hearing about Master Guo, Luu Zhichang’s face broke into a delighted smile. A moment later, Luu Zhichang pulled Master Guo aside, "Old Guo, you have to help me this time." "Haha, sure, sure, don’t worry, this dish is my hometown specialty. I’m very good at it and can guarantee it’ll be delicious," Master Guo said. Master Guo had also heard the conversation between Luu Zhichang and the head chef and thought Luu Zhichang had come specifically to instruct him for the sake of his old classmate. But Luu Zhichang said mysteriously, "No, I want you to just mess up this dish a bit." Master Guo was immediately shocked, "Big brother, don’t joke around. This dish is not one to be messed with; it can easily cost a life." These mushrooms were genuine delicacies from the mountains. Even if prepared properly, they could cause hallucinations in people with poor constitutions. Only an experienced chef like him could minimize the risk, and so far, nothing had happened. Yet, Luu Zhichang said, "Old Guo, you forgot that it was I who strongly recommended you for Phoenix Hotel. You owe me this favor, otherwise don’t blame me if I turn against you." "That won’t do either, it could cause a serious incident. Moreover, aren’t they your old classmates? What kind of grudge is this, to make you go this far?" seaʀᴄh thё nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You don’t need to worry about that. Just tell me whether you’ll help or not. Moreover, I’m not asking you to really mess it up; just cause them a slight hallucination. Once it’s done, I’ll give you ten thousand yuan. By the way, isn’t your son still worried about getting into that school? If you help me this time, I’ll take care of it." "Are you serious?" Master Guo finally began to waver. The ten thousand yuan wasn’t a big deal, since the Phoenix Hotel already offered high compensation to chefs. But his son’s school issue had been troubling him recently. He had asked Luu Zhichang for help before, but Luu always made excuses and had not expected him to agree now. This offer left him no choice but to accept. "Of course it’s real. When have I ever lied to you? It’s either a yes or no, so tell me, are you going to do it today or not?" Luu Zhichang was serious as well. Master Guo hesitated and then said, "Just a slight hallucination, making them a bit delirious, will that do?" "Yes, that will be enough." Luu Zhichang confirmed firmly. "Alright, leave it to me then, but if anything goes wrong, don’t blame me. I won’t know anything." Master Guo quickly made it clear. Upon hearing this, Luu Zhichang laughed and said, "What could possibly go wrong? There’s a note behind this dish about the poisoning risk and to eat it with caution. With me here, they won’t trace it back to you." Master Guo thought about it and it seemed reasonable, so he bit the bullet and really agreed to do it. "Make it quick, don’t let me down, or else our relationship is over," Luu Zhichang warned him again. For the sake of his son’s schooling, Master Guo had no choice but to reluctantly agree. After that, Luu Zhichang left satisfied. Once he left, Luu Zhichang’s smile almost split his face. He had been thinking about how to seduce Wang Bin’s wife, considering her an exceptional woman worth any price, just to satisfy him once. He hadn’t expected that the Cloud Mushroom dish would provide him with such a rare opportunity. Later, as soon as everyone in that room became delirious, he could do whatever he wanted! As for the guests in Room 888, Luu Zhichang had already dismissed them from his mind. It was just a dish after all, who would really hold him to account? But the guest in Room 888, coincidentally, was a stern and serious woman, unknown to Zhang Yang, who had ordered the same dish at the same time after a deep conversation that afternoon with Xu Mengyan. Xu Mengyan was in an especially good mood today, so she had invited her best friend to dine here. Her friend had specifically requested the Cloud Mushroom dish just like Zhang Yang, and Xu Mengyan naturally wanted to satisfy her friend’s request. But now, the waiter was telling her that the dish had already been reserved by Room 666. This greatly displeased Xu Mengyan, "What’s going on? According to the process, you should have consulted with me before making a final decision, yet you didn’t even ask and just told me the dish was reserved by Room 666." The waiter hadn’t expected this stunning woman to be so familiar with the Phoenix Hotel’s procedures and was at a loss for words. But at that moment, Xu Mengyan revealed her identity, "I am the largest shareholder of the Phoenix Hotel; I need you to tell me what exactly is going on? Which part of the process malfunctioned?"
