Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!-Chapter 640: Everyone Has a Background

At least among the 10 people present from Changping, none of them come from ordinary families.

For example, Tian Pengpo’s family is in the livestock business, owning a vast ranch in the Mongolian province.

Beef, lamb, milk, and other related products all have a complete industry chain from breeding to sales.

Domestic beef is graded, and so far, the best and highest grade beef comes from the Tian Family.

If Tian Pengpo wanted to open his own restaurant, it would be an easy task.

In contrast, Huo Jiarong’s family runs a food import-export business.

Xu Aoliang’s family is in the fast-food product business.

Just like the frozen meals placed in supermarket freezers, such as frozen dumplings, frozen wontons, frozen tangyuan, frozen dough sticks, frozen pancakes, etc.

They’re convenient; customers can buy them home, cook them, and eat without needing culinary skills—just need to know how to boil water.

Shang Heyue’s family, on the other hand, is in the semi-prepared food business.

Like the refrigerated shelves in supermarkets, where all the ingredients and seasonings are already matched. Just stir-fry them at home, no need to figure out how to cook.

Of course, not all are in the food industry.

In any case, these families are not simple and are certainly not short of money.

Really want to open a restaurant or create a brand without needing help from Liu Sixu.

Therefore, Tian Pengpo and others did not take Liu Sixu’s assistant’s words to heart.

The assistant took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and silently cursed these unappreciative people.

However, Liu Sixu’s target was not them anyway.

As far as he knew, even though these people were indifferent, Ye Fei, Li Zhexuan, and Xue Jieyu were ordinary people.

Could they remain unmoved by such temptation?

Li Zhexuan and Xue Jieyu indeed hesitated.

Xue Jieyu did doubt Liu Sixu’s motives.

Where in the world is there such a good thing, where you do nothing, and investment comes knocking?

If it was about talent, Xue Jieyu felt she was still a bit lacking, not yet at the level where others would willingly invest in her. Even for these 10 people from Changping Academy, wouldn’t investors consider a few things first?

There’s no logic in deciding with just one look.

Xue Jieyu’s family is just middle class, nothing special.

The same goes for Li Zhexuan.

That’s why the culinary competition’s open selection targets participants from ordinary backgrounds, looking to prove themselves through cooking, striving for a future.

As a girl, Xue Jieyu had a bad feeling.

However, even with Liu Sixu’s notorious reputation, Xue Jieyu believed her looks weren’t outstanding, just average.

Not enough to tempt Liu Sixu for anything.

Honestly, neither her culinary skills nor her appearance gave her enough clout.

That’s why Xue Jieyu hesitated, pondering Liu Sixu’s true intentions.

Hesitating whether or not to see what’s really going on.

Because she truly had nothing worth attracting Liu Sixu’s attention.

Thinking there’s unlikely any trap she’d fall into.

Li Zhexuan’s thought was even more straightforward. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

As a man, what kind of trap could he fall into, unless Liu Sixu had different inclinations?

He actually wanted to see what Liu Sixu really had in mind.

Mi Ruoyun pulled Xue Jieyu aside, whispering, "Liu Sixu is no good. Don’t listen to his bragging. Who knows what he plans by calling us over, maybe to show off his influence, making everyone respond to his call?"

"And Liu Sixu’s investments over these years are mostly in internet-related industries, never touching the culinary sector. Think about his investments; they always involve some pretty girls. What does he want from us here?"

"Maybe it’s just a call to humiliate us, showing his superiority."

Xue Jieyu hesitated at first, but listening to Mi Ruoyun’s words, her wavering thoughts immediately settled.

"Do you know Liu Sixu?" Xue Jieyu asked softly.

After spending these days together, Xue Jieyu also realized that the people from Changping Academy probably had impressive family backgrounds.

It was evident from their conversation and behavior that their upbringings were not ordinary.

It wasn’t about being snobbish, categorizing people into different classes.

Just that due to the environment they grew up in, decades of immersion, they indeed felt different.

Some rich brats are loud and ill-mannered, looking down on others.

Some wealthy heirs and heiresses are well-bred, with great poise and eloquence.

These characteristics are about their personal qualities and differences.

But in terms of consumption habits, understanding of ordinary matters, and common knowledge.

No matter their upbringing quality, some ingrained perceptions differ.

So, that’s why Xue Jieyu asked if Mi Ruoyun knew Liu Sixu.

But B City is huge, with many wealthy people, and wealthy circles vary.

She was merely asking; Mi Ruoyun and Liu Sixu might not even be in the same circle.

Mi Ruoyun said, "My parents seem to know his parents, but the two of us haven’t met. Because he’s abroad studying most of the time, only coming back during holidays, and then he gathers friends, causing a scene. Any scandalous thing happens, and it spreads quickly in our circle."

Mi Ruoyun made no secret of it; her own family background indeed matched Liu Sixu’s.

Xue Jieyu realized her guess was correct; precisely because of this, even if the two families were acquaintances, Mi Ruoyun and Liu Sixu had no intersections, never even met.

"When our family participates in business events, I’m not interested in attending anyway, as my interest lies outside of business. I just want to excel at my culinary skills, whether opening a restaurant or creating my food brand in the future. As for the business sector, I have no interest in getting involved, so Liu Sixu never saw me."

And even if she had met Liu Sixu, she had no interest in joining those games with his lackeys, nor in dealing with Liu Sixu.

As a result, even on stage today, Liu Sixu didn’t recognize her.

Including Tian Pengpo and others, their family backgrounds were quite profound, but their interests differed.

Tian Pengpo and others spent long years at Changping Academy, enhancing their culinary skills, with intense competition in Changping Academy.

They were all pushing each other forward, even if ranked first, within the top ten, there was always the risk of being surpassed.

So, they had no time for frivolities, as their time and efforts were never enough.

The family business didn’t interest them much, as most of them weren’t the only child nor the eldest, with siblings bearing family responsibilities.
