I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 827 - 359: Ren Jie: I’ve Faced Life and Death! Chen Yan: What a Coincidence, I’ve Faced Social Death!
"Obituary: Mrs. Chen Yan, a member of this group, experienced social death today at noon. Please all members light a candle emoji to mourn."
In the group chat named "Best Sisters Don’t Shrink," Shen Baobao, who had eaten and drunk his fill, started the antics.
Older Sister Yan revealed her identity to her police officer brother-in-law today. Older Sister Yan officially got out of singlehood today. Older Sister Yan might even get engaged today, but none of that matters.
What matters is that Older Sister Yan experienced social death today.
It turns out that the expression of social death is so embarrassing, hahaha, I’ll need to open the banquet hall’s surveillance later to capture some images and have Director Zeng turn them into dynamic stickers.
The next time someone misbehaves, well then... ahem, don’t say I didn’t warn you! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
She was the first to send a candle emoji.
Others followed suit.
Chen Yuanyuan curiously asked Shen Baobao:
"Yueyue, is it appropriate to do this? Will Older Sister Yan get mad?"
"Let her get mad. It’s okay to be mad. She used to bully everyone all the time. I’m just helping everyone vent a little. This is an act of justice, Yuanyuan, don’t be shy about it. I know her getting out of singlehood puts a lot of pressure on you."
Chen Yuanyuan: "..."
Heaven knows, I didn’t think of it that way at all.
But since everyone in the group was posting, not posting would make me seem unsociable.
So, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!
Seeing a neat row of small candles in the group chat, Shen Baobao sent another message:
"Below is the time for the farewell to the body."
Just as she was about to send a past photo of Boss Chen grinning with her molars showing, Chen Yan spoke up in the group:
"Yueyue, if you keep misbehaving, watch out or I’ll hit your son!"
"Touch Dundun even once and I’ll make a wish in front of it that you go bald. Dundun is very effective!"
Chen Yan: "!!!!!!!"
How shameless, actually bullying my luscious hair!
To stop everyone from talking about this, Chen Yan sent a bunch of red envelopes in the group.
She then proceeded to the big group and sent a bunch more red envelopes there too.
With a stack of money thrown in, the whole group was filled with messages like "Rich lady, we’re starving," making Chen Yan feel a sense of resurrection.
Hehe, what does social death matter? As long as you use the power of money, even death can be reversed.
For a moment, Boss Chen was in a great mood, and the feeling of social death was significantly diminished.
In a tone of someone who had been through it all, she said in the group chat:
"Ladies, in the future, don’t randomly associate with middle-aged people. It’s best not to recognize siblings casually, or you might end up clashing with your future in-laws."
Shen Baobao sent a knowing emoji:
"My dad’s been calling him Brother Lin for so long, and isn’t it all good now? Hurry and take your little police officer to a date, watch a movie, play script games, or simply continue your cosplay, since the chef’s uniform is ready-made."
This made Chen Yan blush slightly. What kitchen cosplay? This innocent little 18-year-old girl doesn’t quite get it.
She hurriedly replied:
"We can’t go anywhere; Ren Jie got injured in the arm, took a shot while catching a criminal. I have to take him to the hospital for a checkup."
Seeing this message, Shen Baobao asked:
"Would you like me to ask my grandpa to arrange something?"
"No need, we’ll just go straight to the international department. It’s quite hassle-free. Last time I did a health check-up there, the environment was nice, fewer people, and they even had free tea and snacks."
Zeng Xiaoqi, intrigued, asked:
"Boss lady, is the hospital’s international department that good?"
"The wool comes from the sheep’s back; many of the projects at the international department cost more than ten times those at the regular clinic. MRI, CT, and specialist registration fees are also several times more expensive."
Hearing this, Director Zeng immediately gave up the idea of experiencing the international department.
Being from a humble background, it’s better not to pretend to be extravagant in this regard.
"Lin Xu, you’ve had a double harvest of romance and career. Can you share some secrets?"
In another corner of the banquet hall, Lin Xu was enjoying drinks with his classmates.
Sun Minghao’s words made the other classmates put down their chopsticks, eager to hear Lin Xu’s insights.
Back when they graduated, this guy was the only one without a job, and the counselor had even asked classmates to comfort him whenever possible, lest Lin Xu couldn’t handle it.
Outrageous, in just a few months, he not only opened a well-known restaurant in Beijing but also snagged the prettiest girl from Central Finance University.
This is practically like playing life on cheat mode.
So now everyone was all ears, hoping for some secret advice.
"A secret, there actually is one."
Lin Xu took a bite of grilled Fish, then pointed to his face and said:
"As long as you’re handsome enough, anything is possible!"
"Oh, come on! I thought you had some profound insight."
"In terms of looks, we’re probably a fifty-fifty split, so why don’t I have the same luck?"
"Same here, back in school, we were the young lads who’d always get an extra scoop from the cafeteria aunties, but it didn’t work out after leaving school."
"Could it be that the cafeteria aunties found your looks pitiful?"
"Get out, get out, do I look that down and out?"
"..."
After the laughter subsided, Lin Xu said:
"My advice is that when a girl offers you food, don’t refuse, and always believe that hard work brings rewards."
As they were chatting, Shu Yun came over and whispered in Lin Xu’s ear:
"Boss, a guest is about to leave, you need to see them off at the door."
"Alright, I’ll go right away."
Lin Xu lifted his wine glass and said to Sun Minghao and the others:
"When you’re not busy, remember to come over for a meal. Whoever gets out of singlehood first, I’ll personally cook a big table of dishes to celebrate for them. Limited to the first three, so you better hurry up."
