The Ultimate Versatile Soldier King

Chapter 23: Chinese cuisine is the best in the world!



"Scram!" Luo Chao suddenly growled at the two pit bulls.

And those two pit bulls seemed to understand Luo Chao's words and quickly ran off into the distance, disappearing in no time.

Luo Chao strolled over to Sun Bowen, casting him a mischievous glance.

Sun Bowen, caught by Luo Chao's mischievous gaze, shivered all over in fear, almost kneeling to beg for mercy.

However, just when he thought Luo Chao would make a move on him, Luo Chao suddenly turned his head and said to Lin Yun, "Honey, shall we go in?"

"Hmm... okay, wait, I told you not to call me honey!" Lin Yun, blushing, threw a gentle punch at Luo Chao, "Hmph, Young Master Sun is right, you are truly rude!"

"Big or small, how do you know unless you try?" Luo Chao said with a lecherous grin.

Lin Yun gave a helpless expression and said to Sun Bowen, who was still standing aside, "Young Master Sun, you see, he's just like this, full of dirty jokes, a total pervert, I can't control him at all!"

Sun Bowen was about to respond, but caught sight of Luo Chao's mischievous gaze again, afraid that he might get something twisted off him, he quickly replied, "Oh... No problem! It's normal for a man to be a pervert, just get used to it, get used to it."

"Ay!" Lin Yun pretended to sigh helplessly, then said, "Then Young Master Sun, shall we head in? I suppose everyone's been waiting for us for quite a while."

"Yes, right, let's head in!" Sun Bowen nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, Sun Bowen led Luo Chao and Lin Yun inside the Tianhe Grand Hotel.

Along the way, pressured by Luo Chao's intimidating presence and now without any bodyguards by his side, Sun Bowen treated them with the utmost respect, fearing to anger this "nutcase" with over-the-top combat power!

When they arrived at the banquet hall on the 36th floor of the Tianhe Grand Hotel, many social elites and wealthy young men quickly surrounded Lin Yun, chatting with her about business matters and daily interactions.

Luo Chao, enjoying the leisure, found a seat by the window and started cracking sunflower seeds to appease his craving.

After all, he hadn't eaten all day, and the scallion pancake he bought earlier was given away; now he was starved upon starved, wishing to start the meal right away!

At this moment, Sun Bowen walked up to the podium of the banquet hall, accompanied by a red-haired, high-nosed European middle-aged man wearing a white chef's outfit and a tall chef's hat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Thank you all for sparing the time to come to my Tianhe Grand Hotel amidst your busy schedules! Now, I have the honor to introduce to you the head chef for tonight, the three-star chef from the Michelin Restaurant in France, Mr. Boris!"

Sun Bowen holding the microphone, gestured to the French chef Boris beside him, "Next, let's welcome Mr. Boris to give a speech!"

After finishing his sentence, Sun Bowen handed the microphone to Boris.

Boris took the microphone and blurted out a string of pure French.

The audience, though mostly business elites, were not many who were fluent in French, but fortunately, Sun Bowen had arranged for a French translator on the podium.

This translator's expression changed after hearing Boris's speech!

He wiped the sweat dripping from his forehead, took off his glasses.

Then, trembling, he translated, "Mr. Boris has long heard that Huaxia is a kingdom of food, renowned for its Chinese cuisine worldwide, but he hopes everyone will also enjoy the French cuisine he has prepared tonight, wishing everyone an enjoyable meal and a pleasant evening!"

After the translator finished, noticing no odd expressions on the faces of the audience below the stage, he quickly patted his chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he led the applause, and the audience followed suit, clapping for Boris's speech.

However, at this moment, there were only two people not clapping below the stage—Luo Chao and Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had also studied in France for some time in the past; while not extremely proficient in French, she could understand the gist of Boris's speech, and it was definitely nothing pleasant.

As for Luo Chao, there was no need to explain, during his time in the Dragon Fang Team, executing missions all over the world, he had already mastered the languages of eighteen countries en route.

Thus, he had understood every word of Boris's speech just now clearly and without missing a beat!

Just now, Boris's original words should have been, "When I was in France, I heard of the fame of Chinese cuisine, but when I actually came to Huaxia, I found it mediocre at best! In my opinion, only our French cuisine can claim to be the world's number one, and tonight, I aim to prove it!"

Luo Chao couldn't help but admire the French translator's quick wit, intentionally translating Boris's hostile words into pleasant ones.

Otherwise, the atmosphere tonight would have become awkward!

Once the applause from the crowd settled, Sun Bowen took back the microphone and continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Boris has been hired as the head chef of the Tianhe Grand Hotel at a high salary, his culinary skills are exceedingly high, having won a remarkable third place in the World Culinary Competition!"

"If everyone has a pleasant meal tonight, please take the trouble to promote the Tianhe Grand Hotel! If Huahai City can also have three properties rated seven-star, paralleled with the Capital, I'm sure everyone will be very pleased!"

After Sun Bowen finished, everyone applauded emphatically, agreeing that he was right. Huahai City, renowned alongside the Capital as a world-class city, has often surpassed the Capital economically.

But the Capital, after all, is the Capital, with its deep political and cultural heritage.

Therefore, among the eleven seven-star hotels owned by Huaxia in the entire country, three are in the Capital, and Huahai City, also a super city, has only two seven-star hotels.

Now, it seems that Sun Bowen intends to upgrade his Sun Family's six-star hotel to a seven-star, which is entirely beneficial to enhancing the image of Huahai City.

Yet this should have been a matter to be happy about, but it was altered by the words of the French chef Boris.

It's like suggesting that Huaxia needs you, a chef from France, to earn a seven-star hotel rating!

Expressing disdain for Chinese cuisine in public, this was something Luo Chao, who formerly served as a cook for the Dragon Fang Team, couldn't tolerate!

"Mr. Boris!" Suddenly, Luo Chao's voice overshadowed the applause, clearly coming from the back of the crowd.

Including Lin Yun, everyone turned their heads in surprise towards Luo Chao's direction.

Only to see Luo Chao, with a leg crossed over, leisurely cracking sunflower seeds, while at the same time, staring intently at Boris's arrogant face with a serious look.

"I believe, Chinese cuisine is the world's number one!" Luo Chao said deliberately, word by word.
