Upon hearing Ishikawa Rocks' threat, Ashina Tsukuyomi's heart sank. From the day she became sensible, she knew that her future path had already been planned by her family. In the eyes of her family, she could only be an obedient girl that her family looked forward to every day like a puppet.
However, in her heart, she had always wanted to live a free life. She was unwilling to walk a path that she liked in the planned future. When she entered high school, her feelings grew stronger. Compared to that kind of future, she wanted to have a complete high school life. That was why she reopened the gourmet department out of interest.
After meeting Mu Fan, everything in the gourmet department became smoother. However, at this time, Ishikawa Rocks wanted to merge the gourmet department.
This was the result of her and Mu Fan's hard work. She was extremely unwilling to merge the gourmet department. However, if she didn't agree, Ishikawa Rocks only needed to leak the news to his family. She wouldn't be able to run the gourmet department either. She might even be transferred to the nearby aristocratic girls' school.
At this moment, even Ashina Tsukuyomi, who received an elite education from a young age and learned how to deal with all kinds of difficulties, felt that her brain couldn't wrap itself around it.
She almost flipped through all the knowledge she learned, but she still didn't know how to deal with the man in front of her. If she agreed, she would go against her heart. If she didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to continue running the gourmet department.
What should I do? Ashina Tsukuyomi's eyebrows were tightly knitted. Her face was full of hesitation. She couldn't make a decision.
"Have you thought it through, Tsukuyomi -san? My time is limited. " Looking at the hesitant Ashina Tsukuyomi, Ishikawa Rocks urged with a smile on his face.
He guessed Ashina Tsukuyomi's inner thoughts very accurately. In his opinion, Ashina Tsukuyomi was just a high school student. After being threatened by him, she couldn't keep her calm at all. It wouldn't take long for her to agree to his decision.
"Do I really have to agree to it?"
Hearing Ishikawa Rocks' urging, Ashina Tsukuyomi became even more anxious. At this critical moment, a warm hand pressed on her shoulder, calming her originally flustered heart down.
"Don't agree to it!"
A gentle voice calmed Ashina Tsukuyomi's ears. She turned her head with slight surprise and found that Mu Fan, who was originally standing in the kitchen, was standing behind her. He was looking at her with a smile.
Looking at Mu Fan beside her, Ashina Tsukuyomi inexplicably felt a surge of confidence in her heart. Only now did she understand what kind of decision she should make. She took a deep breath, raised her head and looked at Ishikawa Rocks with a serious expression. "I'm sorry, Mr. Ishikawa, I can't agree to your request.
Ishikawa Rocks, who had originally vowed to take down the food department, was shocked when he heard Ashina Tsukuyomi's reply. Then, his expression became ugly. He stood up from the chair and laughed coldly. "Tsukuyomi -san, do you know what you're saying? Aren't you afraid that your family will find out about this? "
"Even if my family finds out, even if I might be forced to transfer schools, I still have to protect the gourmet department. That's because the gourmet department didn't develop by my own efforts, but by the combined efforts of me and Mu Fan. No matter what, I won't agree to let you trample on the gourmet department that we've built together!"
Ashina Tsukuyomi's eyes were cold as she stared at Ishikawa Rocks. Her originally fresh and refined face was almost covered with frost as she spoke with a resolute attitude.
Although her appearance was still that of a weak young lady, her body was emitting an incomparable aura. Her powerful aura even gave people a feeling of suffocation.
Was this the aura of a missy from the Tsukuyomi family?
Mu Fan was slightly stunned. In fact, he had already noticed Ishikawa Rocks when he entered the food department. When he heard Ishikawa Rocks' rude request, Mu Fan was even more furious.
He originally thought that the missy of the Tsukuyomi family had always had a gentle attitude. He was just about to walk over and give Ashina Tsukuyomi some encouragement to courage. He didn't expect that in the face of difficulties, she would actually erupt with such a powerful aura that was beyond his expectations.
"You!"
On the other side, Ishikawa Rocks was suppressed by Ashina Tsukuyomi's powerful aura to the point that he couldn't breathe. He stuttered and couldn't speak for a while. His face alternated between red and white, looking extremely ugly.
"Fine … At worst, we'll fight to the death!"
After staring for a long time, Ishikawa Rocks finally said this sentence. He originally thought that he could use his shrewdness to threaten and control Ashina Tsukuyomi, but he didn't expect Ashina Tsukuyomi to hide such a powerful and unyielding aura. In his panic, he finally gritted his teeth and said this sentence. In any case, as long as the food department couldn't continue operating, their restaurant would return to normal.
Ashina Tsukuyomi's expression changed. However, she crossed her arms and didn't have any intention of backing down.
Mu Fan was also a little surprised by Ishikawa Rocks's words. He didn't expect Ashina Tsukuyomi to be in such a crisis. She had been running the food department under pressure all this time. Mu Fan naturally didn't want such a hardworking girl to leave the food department. He quickly stopped Ishikawa Rocks who was about to leave the food department.
"Wait!"
Finally couldn't help but want to compromise?
Hearing the voice behind him, Ishikawa Rocks sneered in his heart. He turned around and looked at Mu Fan. He naturally didn't want to fight to the death. After all, even if Ashina Tsukuyomi left and Mu Fan was the main chef of the food department, it was still possible for the food department to continue operating. His first goal was still to merge the food department and the restaurant. This way, the restaurant's lack of staff would be solved and there would be profits. It was the best of both worlds.
"Uncle, didn't you say that you want to merge the food department? It won't benefit either of us if we fight to the death like this. Tell me, what can I do so that you won't tell anyone about this and let us continue operating the food department? "
"Uncle?"
Ishikawa Rocks's eyelids twitched. However, looking at Mu Fan's childish face and the words he just said, he thought that Mu Fan might want to compromise with him. He could only endure Mu Fan's "uncle". "Don't you want to continue operating the food department? It's not like there's no other way. Since you're also a chef, you should have the awareness of being a chef. Let's have a competition. I'll set the rules. If you win, I'll let you continue operating the food department. How about it? "
Although Ishikawa Rocks didn't think highly of Mu Fan's cooking, he naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to compete with Mu Fan on the two main dishes, "Yangchun" and "Golden Fried Rice" written on the signboard outside, just to be safe.
As long as his cooking was better than Mu Fan's, he and Ashina Tsukuyomi would be able to join their restaurant.
"Sure. Since we're both chefs, this is the best way to solve the problem. "
Mu Fan nodded in agreement. Okay.
Ishikawa Rocks walked over and glanced at Mu Fan's kitchen. He noticed that there was meat sealed in the fridge. He recalled that Mu Fan's food department had only been operating two main dishes since the beginning. There weren't any dishes, and there wasn't any meat in any of the main dishes.
After a moment of silence, Ishikawa Rocks grinned and said, "Then let's compete to see who can make better dishes using only meat ingredients. How about we let the remaining students in the restaurant be the judges?"
"Mu Fan, don't compete with him. Ishikawa Rocks had some reputation outside before he came to the school's restaurant. At most, we'll just let him be the judge. I believe that Mu Fan will be able to operate the food department better in the future."
Ashina Tsukuyomi's expression changed. She walked forward and tugged at Mu Fan's clothes to remind him. She knew that Mu Fan had told her that he was only good at Yangchun noodles and Golden Fried Rice. These two dishes were limited. Mu Fan's culinary skills were only on par with hers. It was impossible for him to beat Ishikawa Rocks, who had been operating the school's restaurant all year round.
Hearing Ashina Tsukuyomi's reminder, Mu Fan shook his head. Since Ashina Tsukuyomi's height was much shorter than his, he reached out his hand and patted Ashina Tsukuyomi's head. He comforted her, "Don't worry. Just like what Tsukuyomi just said, the food department is run by all of us. Without anyone, the food department is incomplete. No matter what, as long as I, Mu Fan, am here today, I won't let you leave!"
"Because … the food department was born through our joint efforts. Next, we have to continue working together to develop the food department and make it more lively. How can we be defeated by him here? "
