Even though it was already past ten, nearing eleven, there were still a lot of people on the pedestrian street.

For the celebrities, it was like a second walk on the red carpet. Security on the pedestrian street maintained order, while celebrities waved to fans and made their way inside to the second floor of Xi Shan Restaurant.

What surprised Ling Zhenfei wasn't the reaction of the entire pedestrian street, but the sheer number of celebrities that had shown up.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei just wanted to invite some friends he knew for a meal.

But upon arrival, he realized he was wrong, because due to one statement he made at the scene, there were actually thirty to forty celebrities present.

There were actors, screenwriters, and directors, and many were currently popular stars.

There were many reasons why so many people showed up.

First and foremost, all the celebrities wanted to know Ling Zhenfei, because celebrities have money, but rich people still get sick.

Ling Zhenfei was like their lifesaver; if they really got any serious illness, knowing Ling Zhenfei meant having a ninety percent chance of getting help.

So they came to meet Ling Zhenfei.

Another reason was because the celebrities who attended were quite popular— the hottest director Xu Yuan, the hottest actress Chu Bingqing, and the hottest actor Han Ge all came.

Also present were top screenwriter Jiang Xing, best documentary director Zhang Hongfei, most popular actress Li Yuetong, and best newcomer Guoguo.

With such a strong lineup, naturally many celebrities were willing to join in the excitement.

Perhaps, by mingling around, they might make a few more friends or even become the next leading role.

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat bemused at the time. Before leaving, he had indeed instructed Jiang Hui to prepare food and had turned the entire second floor into a buffet-style banquet.

However, the food prepared wasn't anywhere near enough. Jiang Hui initially thought there would be at most enough for two tables of guests, but the crowd was overwhelming.

Originally, celebrities ate very little anyway, and there was plenty of wine, so no one particularly minded eating little. After all, the primary purpose for coming might not be the food.

But Ling Zhenfei couldn't stand it; having only this amount of food was not going to work.

Ling Zhenfei asked everyone to quiet down, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to me."

Everyone stopped and looked at Ling Zhenfei, who said, "Please enjoy the food on the table for now, and in addition, I have some other fresh ingredients here. Let me know what you'd like to eat, and I'll prepare it for you on the spot."

Ling Zhenfei's words excited everyone greatly. They all knew Ling Zhenfei's cooking was delicious, but not everyone had a chance to taste it.

In the open kitchen on the second floor, Ling Zhenfei began to get busy.

Ling Zhenfei wasn't stingy; a few celebrities came to order dishes, and he prepared them on the spot.

Many people knew of Ling Zhenfei's cooking skills because several celebrities had posted about it online, some even with videos, but they had never seen it live.

Once there, some celebrities started chatting with familiar friends, while others aimed to meet new people.

Some even toured Ling Zhenfei's restaurant, commenting on the decor of Xi Shan Restaurant.

There were also those who had never been to Xi Shan Restaurant, thoroughly enjoying the culinary delights prepared. On-site, Ling Zhenfei saw many unexpected faces.

For instance, Kong Lu and Yan Shuang—Kong Lu was currently mingling with a wine glass in hand.

While Yan Shuang had come to the front of the open kitchen, looking at Ling Zhenfei cooking with surprise.

"Aren't you the boss here? You're really cooking yourself?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "Yes, I like to do things myself."

Yan Shuang said, "I just tasted those dishes, and they are indeed delicious. Why is that? Is it because of a different cooking technique?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "The cooking method is only part of it; the vegetables themselves also vary greatly."

Watching Ling Zhenfei cook wasn't just Yan Shuang; several others were waiting as well.

Brother Xiao Sa was also stunned, streaming live with his phone.

At the awards ceremony, perhaps there were many streamers broadcasting live, but now Brother Xiao Sa was the only one.

Brother Xiao Sa was streaming Ling Zhenfei at this point.

"Boss, you're amazing! I thought we were just here to eat, but you basically brought half the entertainment industry's stars here," Brother Xiao Sa said with surprise.

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit helpless inside; he hadn't expected this many people to show up.

"Just focus on your stream, as we agreed, don't disturb them, just film from a distance, to avoid misunderstandings."

Brother Xiao Sa said, "I know to only stream the necessary content, that's why I'm just streaming you cooking right now."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "In a while, I have something new to share with everyone."

Excited, Brother Xiao Sa asked, "What is it?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's a new type of fruit, something you've never tasted before."

Brother Xiao Sa was quite shocked and said, "Is it like the Heart-Talk Fruit?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "There are differences, but you'll see soon enough."

After finishing cooking, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit relieved; the dishes finally looked presentable.

He roughly assessed the number of people and then prepared to bring out his immortal peach.

These celebrities, of course, have more money than the average person and would likely spend a lot when they come to Xi Shan Restaurant in the future.

Therefore, it was crucial to host them well, to give them a taste of something sweet.

Ling Zhenfei took out his immortal peach from Di Tian Shen Sui and first handed it to Jiang Hui.

Jiang Hui had never seen such a peculiar peach; it resembled a longevity peach in shape but was quite large, without fuzz.

Its color was beautifully pinkish white, looking very appealing, with a symmetric and proper form.

Jiang Hui asked, "Where on earth did you find such beautiful peaches?"

Ling Zhenfei replied, "There's no time to explain now. In a moment, I'll go up and say a few words, then you can instruct the staff to serve them."

Though it was late, none of the Xi Shan Restaurant staff left early that day. With so many celebrities, and big ones at that, naturally, the staff were thrilled.

Ling Zhenfei walked to the center of the hall, raised his voice slightly to draw everyone's attention.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Really, thank you all for coming to Xi Shan Restaurant today. We don't have anything special to offer. Originally, we wanted to give you Heart-Talk Fruits, but we don't have enough of them.

But today, you've come to the right place, as we have some new peaches that are definitely unlike anything you've tried before. I'll gift each of you one to taste."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei clapped his hands, and under Jiang Hui's guidance, waitstaff carried the immortal peaches to each table.

Each server held two plates, each holding an immortal peach.

After placing the immortal peaches on the tables, they withdrew.

Everyone gazed in awe at the peculiar peaches on the table. Even though they were esteemed celebrities, they had never seen peaches like these before.
