One after another, people finished cooking their own dishes, while others gave up completely. They knew they were not good at cooking, so they just stopped cooking and focused on enjoying other people's food.
The open space of the hot spring resort was filled with a fragrant smell. Lunch time was also spent in this fragrance. Everyone was full and satisfied. Shu Yu's barbecue and Qiao Fei's stew were eaten the most. Shu Yu bought twenty pounds of wild boar meat and didn't leave any behind.
The pot of rice soup was finished early. The bottom of the pot was so clean that it didn't even need to be cleaned.
Young Master Xu was 28 years old this year. He was the third son of the Xu Group. The Xu Group was headquartered in Shen Cheng City and had many branches all over the country. Their total assets were in the billions. Their assets were nothing. The brother-in-law of the head of the Xu Group was a powerful director in Shen Cheng City. He was very young and had a lot of room for improvement.
They had a lot of connections. Only people like this would be respected in this circle. Shu Yu said that no one would dare to cause trouble here because of this reason.
This gathering was organized by Young Master Xu. Whoever caused trouble at the gathering was equivalent to slapping his face. No matter how jealous Li Zishan was, he didn't dare to cause trouble for Gu Zheng directly. He only came to cause trouble when Gu Zheng asked about the source of the ingredients so that Qiao Fei wouldn't tell Gu Zheng.
Li Zishan and Qiao Fei had a good relationship. Both of their families owned companies and were shareholders of each other.
"Everyone, who made the best food today?"
After lunch, Young Master Xu walked out. Young Master Xu was 1.7 meters tall and looked very honest. He stood at the front and asked with a smile.
"Shu Yu!"
"Qiao Fei!"
Everyone started to shout. Shu Yu and Qiao Fei's names were shouted the most, but Shu Yu's name was the loudest. In all honesty, Qiao Fei's meat was delicious, and the soup was also delicious, but it couldn't compare to the taste of Shu Yu's barbecued meat and rice soup.
These people were all friends. Even if there was a competition, it was a fair competition. Their words were very pertinent.
"I can hear it. You're really a soft-spoken person. Looks like Shu Yu has successfully bribed you guys!"
Young Master Xu laughed out loud. His words made the crowd laugh as well. However, his words basically stated who the winner was. For the sake of fairness, there would be another round of secret voting.
"Let me see the voting results!"
The voting had already begun. Young Master Xu took out a piece of paper and opened it mysteriously. A bright smile appeared on his face. "I now announce that the winner of this round is Shu Yu!"
Shu Yu won. Gu Zheng's barbecue and rice soup helped him win today's competition. After being stunned for a while, Shu Yu went forward and thanked him politely. At the same time, he also received the prize of this competition, which was the prize.
"It's a diamond!"
"I regret it. I should have fought for it. Brother Xu, can we compete again?"
"Shu Yu, you've struck it rich this time. Shu Yu, you have to treat us!"
The prize that Young Master Xu took out was an exquisite diamond. It weighed more than one carat and was definitely worth more than 100,000 yuan in the market. Seeing the prize, many girls' eyes turned red. They began to envy and envy Shu Yu.
One hundred thousand yuan was nothing to these people. Everyone had it. Even a wheel of a car was worth this price. However, the significance of a diamond was different. It was also a prize. It was true that they were envious.
"It's not a problem to treat us. I have my own restaurant. I'll treat you guys to a meal later!"
Shu Yu replied with a smile. In order to maintain the mystery of the prize, he only mentioned the value of the prize at the beginning. Shu Yu was also surprised that the prize was a diamond.
The diamond was indeed beautiful. Shu Yu held it in his hand and looked at it in Yangon. The diamond reflected a dazzling light.
"Actually, I really have someone to thank for my victory today. If it wasn't for his help, I wouldn't have been able to get this prize. Brother Xu, can I give this prize to him?"
After looking at the diamond, Shu Yu looked at Gu Zheng. In fact, when she first mentioned it, Gu Zheng had a bad feeling. As expected, Shu Yu mentioned him and even wanted to give this valuable prize to him.
"The prize is already yours. You can do whatever you want with it. Shu Yu, you haven't introduced this new friend of yours!"
Young Master Xu nodded with a smile. He had already noticed Gu Zheng. However, Shu Yu didn't introduce him in detail before, so he didn't ask. He took this opportunity to ask.
Generally speaking, most of the people they brought were from this circle, which meant that they had a certain family background. Even if they didn't know such people before, they would know them in the future. The expansion of the circle and the exchange of ideas was good for everyone. Sometimes, they could even help their families or their parents in some matters.
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment before she finally nodded and said, "This is my classmate, Gu Zheng. He's now a food critic. In addition, he's also very good at cooking. I believe everyone has already sensed that. He's also my closest classmate in university!"
Food critic and excellent culinary skills?
Many people were obviously disappointed. Gu Zheng wasn't from their circle. What was a food critic? Many of them had big restaurants in their families, and some even owned five-star hotels. A food critic was really not worthy of their attention.
After knowing that Gu Zheng was just an ordinary person and wasn't from the circle, even Young Master Xu's attitude had an obvious change.
"I see. Shu Yu, your classmate's culinary skills are really good!"
Young Master Xu only mentioned his culinary skills and nothing else. This meant that he didn't approve of Gu Zheng. The others were also whispering, but the topic wasn't Gu Zheng. In their eyes, Gu Zheng was now Shu Yu's companion, and they weren't from the same world.
"Next, you are free to do whatever you want!"
After the rewards were distributed, Young Master Xu quickly announced the next activities. This was a hot spring resort. Since they were here, they had to soak in the hot spring. Now that they were full, it was time to soak in the hot spring comfortably.
Shu Yu brought clothes for the hot spring. Not only hers, but also Gu Zheng's. She was a considerate person.
"Shu Yu, I can't take your reward!"
Seeing that Shu Yu really wanted to give the diamond to him, Gu Zheng hurriedly waved his hand. In fact, he was already thinking of leaving, but his heart was still thinking about Qiao Fei's Jade Poria. He needed to know where the Jade Poria came from. If there was still Jade Poria, then he had a high chance of completing this test.
"The real winner today is you, not me. I just said that I would give it to you. Just take it first. If you really don't want it, you can give it to me later!"
Shu Yu still forced the box containing the diamond ring to Gu Zheng. Since Shu Yu said so, Gu Zheng could only help her hold it first. He planned to return it to her when he left.
"Sister-in-law!"
Gu Zheng was just thinking about Qiao Fei when Qiao Fei and Li Zishan came over. Qiao Fei lost to Shu Yu today, but he wasn't discouraged. He looked at Shu Yu and called her with a cheeky smile.
"Who are you calling sister-in-law!" Shu Yu's face suddenly tensed up and became very ugly.
"Sister-in-law is angry. Brother Shan, quickly coax her!"
Qiao Fei still had a mischievous smile on his face. At this time, the little girl also walked over and fiercely glared at him.
"Shu Yu, I know that I was wrong before. You deliberately angered me, but I really like …"
"You can like whoever you want. Don't be an eyesore in front of me!"
Li Zishan's words were interrupted by Shu Yu before he could finish. Li Zishan's face turned green, then white, then incomparably ugly.
"A good dog doesn't block the road. Move aside!"
Li Zishan, who was rebuffed by Shu Yu, suddenly roared at Gu Zheng and walked straight to Gu Zheng.
"Who are you scolding?"
Gu Zheng frowned and didn't move. This Li Zishan's confession failed and he was rejected by Shu Yu. He actually vented his anger on him. He was mentally prepared for this situation, but it didn't mean that he could be casually scolded by others.
"The one I'm scolding is you. What, do you want to hit me?"
Li Zishan looked at Gu Zheng with contempt. From the moment Gu Zheng appeared, he didn't like Gu Zheng. At first, he still had some misgivings. However, after Shu Yu revealed Gu Zheng's identity, his misgivings disappeared without a trace. In his opinion, Gu Zheng was someone that Shu Yu pulled over to deliberately anger him.
If this was the case, how could he still have anything good to say?
"I won't hit you. Apologize!"
Gu Zheng said indifferently. The contempt on Li Zishan's face became even more obvious: "Apologize? Who do you think you are? You want me to apologize? Aiya!"
Before Li Zishan could finish his words, he suddenly screamed. His hand was grabbed by Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng's immortal power was now half of the first realm. His strength was several times stronger than ordinary people. Li Zishan's hand was grabbed by Gu Zheng. It was like being clamped by pliers and he couldn't move anymore.
"Apologize!"
Gu Zheng's voice was still very indifferent. Even a clay figurine has some anger. This Li Zishan's continuous provocation finally made him take action.
Gu Zheng's character was also like this. If you were tough, he would be tougher. He would never compromise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been scolded by so many people for having a poisonous tongue and rejected by so many restaurant chefs. He wouldn't bow to those unspoken rules. Even if he knew the rules here, if someone provoked him, he would still take action.
"Gu Zheng, don't do it!"
Shu Yu's expression changed abruptly. She hurriedly said. Unfortunately, it was too late. Many people noticed this, including Young Master Xu. Young Master Xu's expression changed and he quickly walked over.
"Apologize!"
Gu Zheng's hand suddenly increased in strength, causing Li Zishan's screams to become even louder. His entire hand was gripped by Gu Zheng, causing him to bend over.
"I apologize, I apologize. Let go!"
Li Zishan screamed. Although he said he was apologizing, his words didn't have any intention of apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't have scolded you. Let go, I beg you. Let go!"
Li Zishan was in so much pain that tears flowed out. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and started crying. Only then did Gu Zheng let go. Li Zishan, who had regained control of his wrist, immediately took a few steps back. He held his shoulder and his eyes were filled with tears. He looked at Gu Zheng with hatred.
