"Manager Wang, please don't do this! I really made a mistake this time, but please give me another chance. I promise I will perform well, definitely perform well!"

Sun Zi quickly dropped to his knees and begged as he heard he was being asked to pack up and leave!

He really didn't want to leave at this moment!

Because working here wasn't tiring at all, and the salary was good, so he really planned to work here for a lifetime...

"Another chance? Chance my ass!"

Having said that, he didn't continue looking at the kowtowing Sun Zi, but turned to look at Xiaobei and Song Yaling.

He knew they were the real culprits behind this incident!

If he wanted to solve the problem, he had to talk directly to them…

Having thought this through, Wang Dewei spread his hands and said coldly, "I know, you guys stirred up all this trouble because you want money! Fifty thousand, I'll give you fifty thousand, and you get the hell out of here!"

Upon hearing the price Wang Dewei shouted, Song Yaling smiled happily…

"Fifty thousand? Are you trying to shoo away beggars? It's not a matter of fifty thousand, even if it's five hundred thousand, we're not interested. Of course, if you decide to shut down, we can leave!"

Upon hearing Song Yaling state her terms, Wang Dewei growled lowly, "Shut down? You think such little tricks can make us shut down? Dream on!"

"Little tricks?"

With a cold laugh, Xiaobei looked at those waiting for him to serve them food and said faintly, "Sorry, you all are the most important customers to this hotel, so we better not continue this. After all, taking away other people's customers here isn't quite right!"

Hearing Xiaobei say this, Wang Dewei thought Xiaobei was giving in…

With a laugh, Wang Dewei was about to continue boasting but suddenly felt an absolutely chilling gaze.

"Dear customers? Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Hearing Wang Dewei ask blatantly, their expressions turned even more gloomy!

"Ask what? Of course, to discuss the matter of our membership cards with you!"

"This… your cards haven't expired! So there's no need to rush on renewal. Of course, if you wish to renew, I'll try my best to get you more perks or whatever!"

"Renew? Renew my ass! We plan to terminate our contract!"

"Exactly! Hurry up and get ready, we want to terminate our contract with you!"

"Right!"

Totally dumbfounded!

Wang Dewei stood like a wooden man, utterly stupefied…

For a while, Wang Dewei awkwardly said, "Dear customers, what did you just say? You're planning to terminate your contract with us? This… this is a joke, right!"

He really thought they were joking with him now!

Because his hotel was the best hotel here…

Only here, could they enjoy absolute dignity…

So there's no reason, no chance they'd want to terminate their contract with him.

So it had to be a joke!

"A joke? Who has the time to joke with you? We really intend to terminate the contract!"

"Exactly!"

They frowned and spoke impatiently…

Previously, they chose to recharge their membership at this hotel because they really thought the environment here was good, but more importantly, the taste of the hotel food was exceptionally good…

But now, having tasted the dishes Xiaobei cooked, they knew the hotel's food was far inferior…

Given these circumstances, they really had no attachment to this crappy hotel…

So, they directly decided to terminate the contract.

"This..."

Upon realizing they weren't joking, Wang Dewei quickly turned to look at Zhang Tongren…

He was now intending to seek Zhang Tongren's help…

Zhang Tongren noticed Wang Dewei's plea, coughed, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are esteemed guests of our hotel, and we value you greatly! We sincerely hope for the opportunity to continue providing our services, but of course, if you do not wish so, it is entirely alright. You may terminate the contract, but could you please tell me the reason?"

Hearing Zhang Tongren's earnest inquiry, they exchanged glances…

Soon, they began to explain!

"Chef Zhang, you know we are all very picky! We initially joined the hotel as members because the food you prepared was very good. Now, the young man's cooking is much better than yours, so we can only choose him!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing their words, Zhang Tongren nodded slightly.

Soon, he directly walked straight to Xiaobei!

Noticing this, Xiaobei slightly squinted his eyes…

Xiaobei did not sense any hostility from him, so he quietly observed him, intending to see what he planned to do.

…

With Xiaobei being so composed, Song Yaling also observed Zhang Tongren.

Previously, Song Yaling already knew of Zhang Tongren!

Knew he was indeed a particularly formidable chef and had won numerous awards…

Previously, she always wanted to lure Zhang Tongren over to her side, but never succeeded…

This made her feel quite regretful…

Zhang Tongren didn't notice Song Yaling staring at him; now, he focused everyone's attention on the large bowl of cucumbers and tomatoes.

After a few glances, he looked at Xiaobei and said, "Young man, haven't cooked much before, have you!"

"Yes!"

Xiaobei rubbed his nose awkwardly!

Although Xiaobei felt awkward, he wasn't embarrassed, as there was nothing shameful about it!

"Seems like you have a decent standing at home!"

As he spoke, Zhang Tongren glanced at Song Yaling. Understanding Zhang Tongren's words, a faint shyness flashed in Song Yaling's eyes…

…

"Damn, they're having a chat?"

Wang Dewei's eyelids twitched violently!

The next moment, he began speaking in a low, grave tone, "Chef Zhang, don't forget your position, and who you stand with!"

Hearing such a threat, Zhang Tongren responded icily, "Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak to me like that? Believe it or not, I can terminate my contract with the hotel immediately!"

"This..."

Wang Dewei's eyelids twitched again…

Being publicly scolded like this was unbearable for him!

So, at that moment, Wang Dewei wanted to retaliate with curses, but he refrained because he knew Zhang Tongren indeed had the right to terminate the contract with the hotel at any time…

He understood that losing him wouldn't considerably harm the hotel!

But if they lost Zhang Tongren, the hotel would indeed suffer greatly!

So, from this perspective, opposing him would only bring bad luck to himself…

Seeing Wang Dewei fall silent, Zhang Tongren turned to Xiaobei and said, "Young man, do you mind if I have a taste too?"

Before Xiaobei could speak, he heard resolute refusals.

"Chef Zhang! Please don't taste it!"

"Exactly!"

"Please don't try it!"

The reason they refused was that they knew there wasn't much rice left in the pot and vegetables in the bowl…

So if he ate a little more, it meant they would have a little less to eat.

Hearing such refusals, Zhang Tongren rubbed his nose speechlessly, "What? Afraid I'll eat it all?"

"Yes!"

"You guys! I promise you, just a taste, definitely not much, okay!"

"You said it! Don't you dare lie!"

"I said it! If I lie, I'm a dog, alright!"

Zhang Tongren's mouth twitched; soon, he started promising with a bitter smile.

"Since you said so, we agree!"

Xiaobei smiled, serving some food and rice onto a tray.

Soon, Xiaobei handed over the tray, "Chef Zhang, here you go, try it out. As an absolute expert, I'm genuinely keen on your feedback!"

"Alright!"

With a light chuckle, Zhang Tongren took the tray.

Soon, under everyone's watchful eyes, he gently picked up the chopsticks…

Everyone was now intently watching him, especially those from the hotel side, waiting for him to taste it and spit it out immediately...

They knew if Zhang Tongren did so, it would be a severe slap in their face…

...

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Tongren picked up a slice of cucumber and put it into his mouth…

Chewing lightly, Zhang Tongren quickly squinted his eyes…

Soon, he swallowed that slice of cucumber and widened his eyes…

"Chef Zhang, does it taste awful?"

"Exactly!"

"Tasteless, right!"

As Zhang Tongren swallowed, Wang Dewei and others quickly approached and stared fixedly at him…
