Big Shot's Sweetheart Shocked the World Again!-Chapter 703: The Little Ancestor is Incredibly Insightful, and Especially Fond of Twists
Bao Gucheng’s mental alarms were blaring, while Bai He was overwhelmed with phone calls.
Even though she hung up on Bai Fei, soon Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and even all sorts of relatives from the Bai Family called, "concerned" about the All Lotus Banquet.
The conversation always ended with a casual, "Xiao He, just a little face, could you maybe let that kid in to have a taste?"
So they’re all trying to pull strings!
Bai He was both amused and exasperated.
Most speechless was the family group chat; usually lifeless except for the elders posting garish pictures and links about wellness and stocks, offering no real useful information.
But now!
Today, because of the All Lotus Banquet, she became the hot gossip in the family group chat.
"Xiao He is amazing! I heard all the who’s who of the entire Empire are inquiring about how to get an invitation to the All Lotus Banquet for their children!"
"That’s right! I heard the restaurant where she’s the head chef has surpassed even the renowned Famo Mansion, taking over their clientele. It’s incredible!"
"This studying abroad didn’t go to waste for He, huh, she’s become a big shot in French cuisine?"
"What are you talking about? Xiao He is doing Chinese cuisine, the kind passed down by the Ancestors. Why else is it so hard to get a spot?"
"Oh wow, she’s really promoting traditional Empire culinary culture, not bad at all."
"Not bad, my foot. I’m her father, and she doesn’t even give me face, not letting my old friend’s granddaughter in. This stubborn girl, wonder if she’ll ever come home to cook for me to taste!"
Mr. Bai complained outwardly, but his subsequent emojis betrayed his inner delight (silly grin.jpg)
He even sneakily sent Bai He a private message: "He girl, isn’t it tiring to cook so many dishes? Why didn’t you tell your dad you’d show your cooking skills today? Do you think your old man can’t handle passing you ginger and garlic?"
As Bai He watched, her eyes turned red.
Her dad had been the most opposed to her cooking before, not just because it was not a proper job, but also because he didn’t want her stuck in the kitchen, spending her life taking care of a husband.
But if she made a name in the culinary world, it would be different.
Who says a woman good at cooking is only meant to serve her husband?
Studying culinary arts itself is meaningful, relaxing, and fulfilling, and making it a career is even better.
She couldn’t help but look up at Zuzi, suddenly understanding the deeper significance of Zuzi preventing those socialites from coming in earlier, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Ancestor Master, my family’s attitude really softened. My dad scolds me, but he’s starting to think about eating my food and wondering if I’m exhausted. If not for so many pleading today, he might never have realized his daughter could help him earn a bit of face."
Zuzi smiled sweetly, "Humph." As if she’d foreseen all this would happen clearly and thoroughly.
Beside her, Miss Zhou couldn’t help but praise, "Miss Zuzi is indeed clever. Let them hit a wall once so hard that they learn, thinking Western cuisine is so grand and can dominate. When our Empire cuisine lines up, it’ll scare them stiff. Today, after everyone finishes eating with not a crumb left, we can have them come in to admire the empty plates..."
But who knew.
Before her praises were finished.
Zuzi slowly parted her lips, "Not good, how will they help spread Xiao He’s culinary skills widely if they’re starved?"
"Ah, but if we let them in now, wouldn’t we be slapping ourselves in the face?"
"No." Little Ancestor was calm and composed, "If they come in, they need to meet one condition."
"What condition?"
