It seemed that Gloria's position as the successor of Family Moreton was very stable, and she was deeply trusted and doted on by this control freak. That was why he was allowed to come to Mamy's for dinner.
Meg had watched Gloria grow up. From an ugly girl who had no self-pity or self-confidence to a female boss who took off her veil, her transformation was very difficult, but her steps were firm.
She was able to go from being the eldest granddaughter who no one thought highly of to defeating Cyril, who seemed to have a stable position in the family, not because of her looks and sweet mouth, but because of her own ability.
It seemed that the stubborn old man Geoffrey had already accepted the fact that women could also inherit the family business and make the family stronger.
Gloria's ability to surpass the heirs of the three big families by a few streets on the Hill was a gem. Her Suede clothing had already begun to monopolize the middle and upper class women's clothing. A sea of blue was clearly visible.
Instead of giving the family business to a prodigal son like Cyril, it was better to give it to Gloria so that she could have a better future.
"Suede's clothes were all designed by him?" Geoffrey sat down and looked at Gloria softly.
"Yes." Gloria nodded. She didn't hide this from Geoffrey, and Meg had personally agreed to it.
"I didn't expect a chef like him to have such ingenious ideas." Geoffrey smiled. He was indeed a little surprised.
He had investigated Meg before. His background was very simple, and his relationship with Gloria was also relatively simple.
Suede was able to transform from a loss-making fabric store to a high-end clothing store that was sought after by the upper class. The key was actually the sensational new products that were the most important.
Gloria's ability was unquestionable, but the soul of Suede was actually the clothing designer, who was the man in the chef's suit in front of him.
"Mr. Meg is young, promising, and kind. It's admirable." Lance looked at Meg and said with admiration, "Hope School can be built. He put in a lot of effort so that the children can go to school. This is something that will last for a long time."
"Yes, Mr. Meg is really a good person." Mrs. Debra also praised. Recently, she had often heard her husband mention Meg. The news of Hope Academy had been very lively in their circle of teachers.
Of course, there was another very important reason.
Mr. Meg had cured the freckles on Gloria's face. This kindness was worthy of her gratitude, not to mention helping Gloria achieve great success in her career.
If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Meg already had a daughter, she would have even thought of matchmaking the two of them. They were a match made in heaven.
"Has Mr. Meg talked to you about his wife? Is she divorced or widowed? "Debra whispered into Gloria's ear.
Gloria was stunned, and then blushed. She squeezed her mother's hand under the table, and whispered, "Mother, how can I ask about something like that?"
"Why can't you ask? Mr. Meg is such an outstanding person. It's always right to know more about him," Debra said with a serious expression.
Gloria looked at her mother with a strange expression, but didn't say anything. She didn't want to continue this topic.
"I heard that Mr. Meg is going to open a chef's academy in Hope School. Looks like our Chaos City is going to become the holy land of chefs on the Norland Continent in the future," Lance said with a smile.
Mickey, who had been sitting quietly, heard that, and his eyes lit up. He curiously asked, "Chef's academy? Is it to learn how to cook from him? "
"Why? Our Mickey wants to learn how to cook too?" Lance asked with a smile.
Mickey nodded, and said, "Mm-hmm. Mr. Meg's cooking is so good. If I learn how to cook, I'll be able to cook for everyone. I can even open a restaurant in the future. It should be very interesting."
"Being a chef is not a good thing. You should aspire to be an outstanding businessman," Geoffrey said with a stern expression.
The atmosphere at the dining table immediately became cold.
Meg, who just happened to pass by, stopped in his tracks. Did he feel like he was being discriminated against?
Who said being a chef was not a good thing? Didn't they see that he was already the number one chef in the world?
Meg resisted the urge to comfort that young man, and continued to pass by.
It was hard to say whether being a chef was a good thing, but it was very difficult. Normal people couldn't endure this kind of hardship, let alone a young master who grew up in a big family.
"Mickey, you're still young, so it's not time to decide your future yet. However, if you're interested in learning how to cook, I can help you ask Hope School. If there are classes on the weekend, I can see if you can attend them." Lance looked at his son with a smile. He didn't pressure his son because of his father's authority.
Mickey's face lit up, and he subconsciously glanced at Geoffrey carefully.
Geoffrey glanced at Lance, and his lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Gloria's lips curled up slightly as she gave Mickey an encouraging look.
Grandpa had changed after all. If it were in the past, he would most likely have slammed the table and lectured his father, but today, he didn't even argue.
This was a good change. At least they were more like a family now.
When she went out today, she also invited her grandmother, but she declined. She chose to stay at home and have dinner with her second uncle's family.
She didn't care about this. Her grandmother had always disliked her family. Now that she was the only heir, they had failed to cause any trouble after returning to Chaos City, so they must hate her to the core.
As compared to their family's life a few years ago, Cyril's family wasn't living too shabby now. They just couldn't squander as they liked like before, so she really couldn't feel any pity for them.
Gloria ordered a table of dishes, and specially ordered 'Buddha jumps over the wall' for Geoffrey.
Geoffrey was a little surprised when he saw the price on the menu, but he didn't say anything.
This was the first restaurant in Chaos City that dared to set the price of a dish so high.
However, judging from the long line at the door, the market agreed with this price, and was very popular. This meant that this price was cost-effective, and there was no doubt about it.
This also made Geoffrey even more curious about Meg's culinary skills. What kind of dishes did he make that could make so many people crave for them?
Soon, the dishes were served one by one.
Steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers, red braised pork, spicy chicken, eggplant with garlic sauce, sliced beef and beef lung, mapo tofu, 'Buddha jumps over the wall', and a bottle of rum. The dishes were all served.
The aroma of the meat wafted up along with the steam, and went straight to Geoffrey's nostrils. The spiciness of the spicy chicken and steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers were mixed in, and the meaty aroma after the lid of 'Buddha jumps over the wall' was removed made Geoffrey swallow his saliva subconsciously.
The table of delicious dishes had already started to show their irresistible charm even before they started eating.
