Xiaobei watched them so engrossed, and smiled softly.

Quickly, Xiaobei quietly walked beside the beautiful waitress...

"Master Xiaobei!"

Seeing Xiaobei approaching, she quickly spoke respectfully in a low voice, her heart fluttering.

"Shh!"

After making a hush gesture, Xiaobei looked at her and spoke softly: "Go notify the kitchen to prepare according to the highest standards! Oh, let Chef Zhang handle it personally."

"Okay!"

Agreeing, she looked at those girls who knew nothing with some envy, and carefully left the area.

As she turned the corner ahead, the beautiful waitress was startled, finding seven or eight people waiting there.

"You... What are all of you doing here?"

Surrounded by everyone's eager gaze, she spoke somewhat flustered!

She really didn't know what these people wanted to do.

Sensing her nervousness, they quickly said, "Don't worry! We just want to know who those people are to Master Xiaobei, and why he hides his identity."

"Exactly!"

Earlier, they received Song Yaling's instruction to pretend not to know Xiaobei...

This instruction surprised them!

But they complied regardless.

After carrying out the instruction, they became even more curious about what was really happening, so they quietly came here earlier hoping to get firsthand information from her.

Hearing their straightforward inquiry, she gently shook her head, saying, "What you're asking, how would I know? I know as much as you do, but I do know one more thing: Master Xiaobei just asked me to go to the kitchen to prepare food. By the way, he wants Chef Zhang to prepare it personally."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, their eyes narrowed slightly!

They knew Xiaobei clearly valued those girls very much, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Zhang Tongren to take personal care of it.

"Alright, keep guessing here by yourselves, I'm heading to the kitchen now!"

With that said, she quickly made her way!

She knew Xiaobei's request mustn't be delayed...

...

"Huh? Where's that beautiful waitress gone?"

In the private room, after watching the scenery, Yueyue asked curiously while Qi Yu and the others were still busy taking pictures.

This drew Qi Yu and the others' attention, and they all turned to look over.

Being watched by them, Xiaobei explained with a calm expression, "Are you asking about the beautiful waitress earlier? She's gone to the kitchen to prepare the food."

Upon hearing Xiaobei's explanation, they blinked in surprise.

"Prepare the food? But... but we haven't ordered anything yet!"

"Exactly!"

They truly looked bewildered since they hadn't even started ordering!

Xiaobei chuckled and said, "That's right, because we're this hotel's lucky customers, this time we can get a meal personally cooked by the top chef here, and it's the highest standard of banquet."

"This... we're really too lucky!"

"Indeed!"

Hearing Xiaobei's calm explanation, they exchanged looks in astonishment!

At this moment, they really felt happiness arrived so suddenly...

Before, they were completely disconnected from winning any prizes, whereas now, they've become absolute lucky winners.

This strong contrast truly made them all unable to contain their excitement.

Seeing their exhilarated expressions, Xiaobei smiled softly...

Right then, in the kitchen, Zhang Tongren received the message.

He solemnly glanced at the beautiful waitress, seriously asking, "Was it Master Xiaobei who asked me to cook personally?"

"Yes!"

"I understand, I'll definitely prepare thoroughly and not disappoint Master Xiaobei!"

While saying this, he took a deep breath...

"Alright! I'm leaving now!"

"Okay!"

Seeing the waitress off, Zhang Tongren began moving his somewhat stiff body.

Lately, he had seldom taken action since most tasks were handled by other recently recruited young chefs.

Now, he knew he had to act because it was Master Xiaobei's directive.

"The head chef is finally going to take action again!"

"Indeed!"

Many new chefs were extremely excited upon seeing Zhang Tongren rise.

Since coming here, they had never seen Zhang Tongren in action, which made them curious...

Now, they finally had the chance to witness it, and they were exceptionally excited.

Because they knew Zhang Tongren was reputed as the Fast Knife Hand, an elite chef whose knife skills were well worth admiring.

...

Zhang Tongren knew they were all eagerly anticipating...

Smiling softly, Zhang Tongren instructed, "Bring me my outfit!"

"Yes!"

Those who had long been prepared quickly fetched his work uniform.

He glanced at it, quickly dressing up.

Once dressed, Zhang Tongren reached under the table for his specialized tools.

He knew this meal was for Xiaobei and his friends to savor, so it had to be absolutely thoughtful.

"Everything I have is given by Master Xiaobei. Now that I have a chance to repay him, I must ensure everything is perfectly done and not messed up."

Muttering to himself, he quickly selected a sharp knife...

As everyone watched him bring out that sharp knife, they quietly anticipated...

Soon, they saw him place the knife on cutting board, showcasing unparalleled knife skills.

"Whoa!"

Seeing his absolutely skilled moves, everyone was dumbfounded!

Earlier, they thought their knife skills were quite good.

Now, they realized how much they lacked; there wasn't even a slight comparison.

Their creations also looked similar, but lacked soul, whereas his creations were not only tremendously realistic but also imbued them with life.

Truly...

Looking at them now, his carvings were simply lifelike...

...

"That's the difference!"

All these young chefs murmured as they observed.

Earlier, they really thought he was old and thus had poor control power!

Now they realized they were seriously wrong before, and not just wrong, but extremely off the mark.

Truly!

His control power was not lacking, but instead had improved greatly over time...

Watching the meticulously crafted ingredients, Zhang Tongren smiled.

Soon, he continued preparing other ingredients...

"One person alone is still a bit slow!"

Thinking this, he glanced at those behind him, casually saying: "Don't just stand there watching, come help me out!"

"Yes!"

Agreeing fervently, they all quickly moved to Zhang Tongren's side...

...

In the private room, Yueyue stretched her neck looking outside from the table...

Seeing this, Xiaobei curiously asked, "Yueyue, what are you doing?"

"Xiaobei, I'm of course checking if the food is ready!"

"No need to worry, it'll be brought over once it's ready!"

"How can I not be anxious!"

She suddenly said, "Xiaobei, do you know who's the chef here?"

"Seems like it's someone named Zhang Tongren!"

"Right! It's Zhang Tongren! He's one of the top chefs, known as the Fast Knife Hand, his prowess should be even stronger now."

Surprised, he glanced at her, "You know quite a bit!"

"Of course, I know a lot about food!"

"Indeed!"

While speaking, Xiaobei recalled the time she ate two fish by herself...

Xiaobei truly felt she was a genuine foodie...

Just about to say more, Xiaobei heard footsteps outside.

As Xiaobei heard, so did they.

In that instant, they all put down their phones, looking outside with anticipation...
