Zheng Feng said: "So what do you want? Do you have any requests? If you have any, just go ahead and ask."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment; it seemed like he didn't have any requests. Life was going pretty well for him at the moment.

After thinking a bit, he said: "I'm a man of no desires, as for any requests, I think there's no need. Let's do this then. If you lose, bark like a dog a few times."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Feng got angry and said: "Kid, what do you mean? You want me to bark like a dog? Are you trying to humiliate me!"

Ling Zhenfei laughed out loud after hearing this and said: "So what, do you think you'll lose yourself, right?"

"Kid, you're the one who's gonna lose. Me losing to you, what a joke." Zheng Feng said angrily.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Ling Zhenfei replied with a smile.

Zheng Feng, upon hearing this, became slightly angry, feeling his authority was being challenged.

"Alright, if that's the case, let's settle it. Let's have a contest." Zheng Feng seemed determined.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Alright then, let's do it." After saying that, he prepared for the confrontation.

Zheng Feng looked at him and chuckled, saying: "What do you plan to do? Do you think I'm gonna fight you?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "What, isn't it fighting?"

Zheng Feng said: "We are civilized people, why would we fight in front of Xueyi, it's simply barbaric."

Ling Zhenfei knew this guy would definitely play tricks, so he said: "Then you tell me, what are we competing in."

Zheng Feng said: "Let's compete in cooking skills."

Ling Zhenfei almost couldn't hold back his laughter after hearing this. Zheng Feng really was asking for it. This Zheng Feng, a playboy, usually doesn't cook at all, suddenly proposed a cooking contest, it was laughable to Daya.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Sure, let's have a cooking contest, how do you want to do it?"

Zheng Feng said: "Isn't it simple? Each side makes a dish and then finds someone to judge it. Whoever gets recognized wins."

Ling Zhenfei sneered: "Sorry, do you think I'm stupid? You want your people to do the judging, that's a guaranteed win for you. Sorry, I'm not that foolish, so I won't do it."

Zheng Feng said: "You don't need to worry about that. Do you know the Michelin judging team is currently in the Capital City? They are renowned for being fair and just, we can get them to judge."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback at hearing Michelin's name. If there were Michelin people as judges, it would be a great opportunity to interact with the Michelin reviewers.

Ling Zhenfei runs a restaurant, so in the future he'll undoubtedly have to interact with Michelin people. Having them know about his Xi Shan Restaurant now would be beneficial.

Thinking this was a good chance, Ling Zhenfei said: "Since it's like this, that's not bad."

"You've agreed." Zheng Feng looked very pleased, as if Ling Zhenfei had fallen into a trap.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Sure, of course."

Zheng Feng said: "Let's go to the restaurant next door, Spring Breeze, how about it."

Actually, Ling Zhenfei had no idea what this Spring Breeze was.

Cao Xueyi, beside Ling Zhenfei, nodded to him, indicating the restaurant wasn't bad, so Ling Zhenfei said: "Whatever."

Then Zheng Feng led the way to the place, while Ling Zhenfei received a call from Ma Long.

Ling Zhenfei answered the call and heard Ma Long's feigned calm voice: "Brother Ling, why did you leave so soon? I was just about to have a good chat with you."

Ling Zhenfei said: "What's up, have you figured it out? But I have some business now, someone wants to have a cooking contest with me, I'm heading to the restaurant."

Ma Long was a bit taken aback; he knew Ling Zhenfei was a boss, but he was quite curious as he was not aware of his cooking skills.

"Really? Didn't know Mr. Ling had this flair. Where is it happening, can I come and watch?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "Heard it's at a restaurant called Spring Breeze, I'm not sure either. If you want to come, go ahead."

Ma Long laughed and said: "Such a fun thing, of course I want to come and see it. Just wait, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up, Ling Zhenfei continued to follow Zheng Feng and his group ahead, eventually arriving at the restaurant.

This restaurant was very close to the previous one, it looked luxuriously decorated, and the Michelin sign was posted at the entrance.

Cao Xueyi said: "This is a place the Michelin people often stay at, it may not have stars, but business is pretty good. Especially the head chef here named Gu Li is a very skilled chef."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, realizing that choosing Cao Xueyi to manage the restaurant was fortunate, initially done only because she was Cao Qinglin's daughter.

Having Cao Xueyi in management brings many benefits, unexpectedly finding out she's so capable, it's like striking gold.

The group entered, and Ma Long hurriedly joined them.

Zheng Feng and the others were shocked to see Ma Long, as Zheng Feng clearly knew Ma Long and quickly greeted him.

"Young Master Ma, why are you here."

Ma Long pretended to be very surprised and said: "Nothing, I'm just passing by. What are you up to?"

Zheng Feng evidently didn't know that Ling Zhenfei and Ma Long were acquainted, and said: "I'm having a cooking contest with this Young Master Ling, you're just in time, can you witness it for us?"

Ma Long pretended to be very surprised and said: "Really, you guys have such skills, impressive. Alright, I'll have fun watching."

"However!" Ma Long said as he looked at Zheng Feng and Ling Zhenfei: "I prefer fairness and justice, no sneaky moves allowed from me."

Zheng Feng said: "It's actually quite simple; I've already asked Michelin's judging team to come. I think they enjoy this kind of competition."

Ma Long nodded and said: "Young Master Zheng, you seem very confident."

Zheng Feng said: "Being highly skilled leads to confidence."

Ma Long turned to Ling Zhenfei and said: "Mr. Ling, Young Master Zheng is confident, do you still want to continue?"

Ma Long gave Ling Zhenfei a meaningful look, suggesting not to participate, as Zheng Feng seemed thoroughly prepared, making victory unlikely for Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei appeared oblivious to Ma Long's cue and said: "Why not compete, I enjoy tinkering with home-style dishes sometimes. Every time I eat them, they feel pretty great. Maybe I'll end up winning."

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's response, Ma Long realized there was no way to convince him otherwise, so he said: "Alright, amazing, I look forward to witnessing your showdown."

Zheng Feng laughed heartily and said: "Just wait, it'll be ready soon."

Everything was quickly prepared, this restaurant seemed accustomed to hosting such cooking contests. According to Cao Xueyi, it's even a venue for some King of Chefs competition.

At this point, some judges came out and seated across at a row of tables.
