"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. You have drawn a classic Sichuan dish — Husband and Wife Lung Slice!"
The spinning wheel slowly stopped as the System's voice sounded.
"Wait, System, didn't you say it's a high-level recipe? Is Husband and Wife Lung Slice considered a high-level dish? " Meg raised his eyebrows. Although he had no ill intentions towards Husband and Wife Lung Slice, he felt that it was still inferior to Buddha Jumps Over The Wall Soup.
"Host, Husband and Wife Lung Slice is a classic Sichuan dish that is second only to Wife Biscuit in terms of cruelty. It has an extremely high and special status in Sichuan Cuisine. The authentic Husband and Wife Lung Slice is not inferior to any other delicacies …"
"Are you using real husband and wife?" Meg asked.
System, "…"
"Husband and Wife Lung Slice." Meg opened his eyes and muttered softly. He was not disappointed as the restaurant did not have any braised dishes yet. It was good to let the foodies in this world see the depth of Chinese cuisine.
However, whether or not the name of the dish would cause some bad associations was not something he could control.
Meg looked up at his watch. It was still early, so he prepared to go upstairs to read. The mystery of the Great Old One that shrouded this world had not been solved yet. He needed to find more inspiration from the Cthulhu Mythos.
"Ding."
At this moment, the bell rang outside the door.
"Hmm? There's a guest who doesn't know that today is a rest day? " Meg raised his eyebrows slightly, but out of courtesy, he still got up and walked to the door. He looked out from the door and opened the door in surprise. He saw Gloria standing in front of the door and said, "Miss Gloria, why are you here?"
Gloria presented a golden invitation letter to Meg with both hands and smiled. "Mr. Meg, I'm here to give you the invitation letter. The day after tomorrow is the Aden Chamber of Commerce's year-end celebration. As one of the directors, I can invite a few friends to attend. I hope that you and everyone in the restaurant can attend."
Meg accepted the invitation. He had been so busy recently that he had forgotten about it. Gloria had mentioned that she wanted to invite him, so he naturally couldn't refuse now. He nodded slightly and said, "Okay, if there are no conflicts on the day, we'll come."
"I look forward to seeing you and everyone else," Gloria said with a smile before she left.
"Miss Gloria is a business genius, but I wonder how she's doing with the board of directors." Meg muttered as he watched Gloria leave. However, he didn't think too much about it. He didn't have the energy to help her right now.
…
"Miss, the Dodges Family should have already conspired with the Marquis Family. They will stand on Cyril's side during the year-end meeting and vote to remove you from your director seat." Mars sat across from Gloria with a black notebook on his lap. "We need to meet Thompson and Cassis this afternoon. If they are willing to stand on your side, our chances of winning will increase."
"Okay." Gloria nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "But I need to go to Teacher Luna's place in the afternoon. I promised to provide the second batch of winter clothes. I need to confirm the children's clothes sizes with her. I heard that there are more children recently."
"We should be able to make it in time." Mars nodded. He looked at Gloria with gratification. He was surprised by her business talent and growth speed. However, it was rare that she didn't lose her kindness.
Gloria was silent for a while. Suddenly, she asked, "Mars, do you think we will fail?"
"No matter how you look at it, you are already very successful. Even if you can't continue to be the director of the Aden Chamber of Commerce and the successor of Family Moreton, you and Suede Apparel will become a great company. You will even surpass Family Moreton's current achievements in the future," Mars said with a smile.
"Really?" Gloria looked at Mars with surprise.
"The premise is that you can maintain your current enthusiasm and serious attitude towards your career." Mars nodded.
"I think I will." A confident smile appeared on Gloria's face.
Mars looked at Gloria and smiled. His father helped Master Geoffrey build Family Moreton. Now, he might be on his way to do the same.
...
In a luxurious private room, the ambiguous light shone on the faces of the men and women who were indulging in debauchery.
Cyril had his arm around a golden-haired woman, and he raised his wine glass to everyone as he said, "To our friendship, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
"Master Cyril, after the year-end celebration the day after tomorrow, Gloria will be dismissed. You will be the only successor of Family Moreton. In the future, you will be the head of Family Moreton and the president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. We will depend on you in the future." A chubby middle-aged man said with a smile.
The other people in the private room also quickly flattered him.
Cyril was flattered by everyone's praise. He nodded and said, "Well said, well said. As long as it is done the day after tomorrow, I, Cyril, will never forget you."
"Ha, you want to fight with me? Gloria, you are still too young. When I become the head of Family Moreton, I will drive your whole family out. Let's see what you are without the protection of Family Moreton." Cyril drank the wine and rubbed the woman in his arms. He sneered and thought to himself. It was as if he could already see Gloria being dismissed at the year-end celebration three days later.
...
When night fell, Mag told Amy and Anna a bedtime story. After seeing that the two little fellows had fallen asleep, he turned off the lights and went out quietly. He was going to read for a while more.
"You have another woman's scent on you." Mag had just closed the door gently when a cold voice came from behind him.
"Wow!" Meg was startled. When he turned around, he saw Irina leaning over and sniffing him. There was a hint of danger in her beautiful eyes.
Meg was a little surprised by Irina's sensitive nose. He took the initiative to take out the invitation and explained, "This afternoon, Miss Gloria came by and gave me an invitation. She invited me to attend the Aden Chamber of Commerce's year-end celebration the day after tomorrow."
"You didn't join that chamber of commerce. Why did she invite you?" Irina glanced at the invitation. The woman's fragrance came from it.
"Probably because I am her chief designer. I can be considered a business partner. As the representative of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, she has the authority to invite some friends to attend," Meg said.
"Ha, that's probably because she doesn't have any friends." Irina chuckled.
"Erm..." Meg actually didn't know how to refute.
"Have the Night Elves arrived at Chaos City?" Meg asked as he kept the invitation.
"No. I found a place for them to rest first. Because there are too many of them, they will only arrive the day after tomorrow." Irina shook her head. Then, she looked at Meg, and seriously said, "I'm starving. You, go and make me something nice to eat."
"Alright. Order whatever you want to eat." Meg nodded with a smile and walked towards the stairs.
"Let's have a beggar's chicken first. I saw many wild chickens on the way here today," Irina said without hesitation.
"What a pitiful chicken." Meg raised his eyebrows and observed a moment of silence for the unfortunate chicken that replaced the wild chickens.
