Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 678: The Roast Duck King Personally Delivers the Meal
President Chen thought that by sending Lin Fan away, he could have his way with Liu Mengjie, so he asked Mengjie to drink again. Unexpectedly, before Mengjie even took a sip, Lin Fan came back and drank for her.
"President Chen, this wine is really good," Lin Fan said with a smile.
President Chen was furious, almost about to explode, and forced himself to stay calm, "Didn’t I tell you to go to De Xinglong to buy roast duck? How did you come back so quickly?"
Lin Fan laughed, "It’s just roast duck, a small matter. I’ve already handled it and ensure that President Chen gets the most authentic De Xinglong roast duck as quickly as possible. Very soon, the roast duck will be delivered, and if President Chen can find a single flaw, I’ll admit defeat."
President Chen smirked inwardly, no doubt thinking this assistant was being clever, ordering takeout. If takeout could be authentic, that would be a miracle.
"You said it yourself. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll punish you," President Chen chuckled.
Lin Fan said, "Of course, come, President Chen, let’s continue drinking."
Lin Fan filled himself and President Chen’s glasses.
After a few glasses, President Chen was starting to feel overwhelmed, but Lin Fan was unfazed.
President Chen was secretly astonished. Liu Mengjie’s assistant could really drink. Although President Chen thought he could drink well after years of experience, in front of Lin Fan, he was like a novice.
A pot of wine was soon finished, and Lin Fan called out, "Waiter, could you come in? Please bring us three more bottles of this wine. Tonight, President Chen and I are going to drink to our hearts’ content. After all, it’s on President Chen tonight, no need to be polite with him."
The waiter nodded and was about to fetch the wine.
President Chen was startled, not because the wine was expensive, with three bottles costing just over 10,000, which was nothing to President Chen, but mainly because Lin Fan ordered three bottles in one breath. He definitely didn’t want to keep drinking with Lin Fan; it would be deadly.
"Hold on, young man, don’t be so aggressive when drinking; you need to take care of your health. You can go now," President Chen waved him off, dismissing the waiter.
Lin Fan said emotionally, "President Chen really knows how to care for others. I’m just a little assistant, and President Chen reminds me kindly like this. I’m so touched. Alright, for the sake of health, no one should drink tonight. Whoever drinks is a damn fool!"
President Chen: "..."
He was the one who first suggested not drinking. If he opposed Lin Fan now, he’d be slapping himself in the face. How could the dignified President Chen do that?
Liu Mengjie laughed, "Little Fan’s suggestion is good. I agree. President Chen, let’s not drink tonight."
President Chen forced a smile and nodded, but he was already very displeased with Lin Fan. Without drinking, how would he get Liu Mengjie drunk? Lin Fan was doing this on purpose, ruining his plans!
President Chen just wanted to get rid of Lin Fan quickly, but he couldn’t think of an excuse for the moment.
After a while, the waiter came in and said, "Gentlemen, the De Xinglong roast duck you ordered has arrived."
President Chen was delighted to hear that. Here came the chance. In a moment, he could nitpick on the roast duck and use it as an excuse to get rid of Lin Fan. After all, they had agreed that if he was not satisfied with the duck, he could punish Lin Fan!
"Bring it quickly!" President Chen said.
The waiter opened the door, stepped aside, and in came a middle-aged man carrying a platter with a cover over it.
"President Chen, your roast duck is here," the middle-aged man said cheerfully.
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, President Chen was shocked and blurted out, "President Jiang, why are you here in person?"
This middle-aged man turned out to be President Jiang, the current owner of De Xinglong!
The Jiang Family’s De Xinglong had a hundred-year history of making roast ducks, with a unique method created by their ancestors. The duck’s taste was exceptional, drawing crowds daily, establishing De Xinglong as a renowned local dining giant in Yun City, rivaling Quanjude in Jing City.
This President Jiang was the third-generation inheritor of the Jiang Family’s duck cooking skills. It was said that he had mastered his ancestors’ techniques and innovated further, making the duck taste even better, earning him the title of Roast Duck King.
However, President Jiang rarely personally cooked the roast ducks anymore, so it was very special to eat a duck made by him.
Now, President Jiang personally came to deliver the roast duck. This was a miraculous thing, no wonder President Chen was astonished.
President Jiang smiled, "I heard President Chen wanted to eat roast duck. Coincidentally, I was free at the store today, felt like stretching myself a bit, so I personally made it and decided to bring it over myself. Here, President Chen, try it while it’s hot."
President Chen was taken aback. Coincidentally at the store, feeling like stretching, moving around a bit? This was too coincidental and felt a bit unreal.
As President Jiang spoke, he lifted the lid, releasing a puff of steam, and with it, a mouth-watering aroma filled the room. Just smelling it made one eager to dig in.
President Jiang personally carved the roast duck and had President Chen taste it.
President Chen quickly said, "How could I trouble you, President Jiang!"
President Jiang laughed, "No trouble, I just want you to taste it and see how my skills are. Please, President Chen, give it a try."
So President Chen tasted a piece.
President Jiang eagerly asked, "How is it, President Chen? Is it good?"
President Chen originally intended to find faults, but now he didn’t dare. It would be disrespectful to President Jiang.
"Delicious! President Jiang’s skills are amazing! This is the best roast duck I’ve ever eaten!" President Chen gave a thumbs up. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Lin Fan smiled from the side, "I told you, if President Chen could find the slightest flaw, it would be my loss. De Xinglong’s roast duck is the best. Seems like I won’t be punished this time!"
President Chen glanced at Lin Fan, feeling suspicious. He had asked Lin Fan to buy De Xinglong’s roast duck, and while Lin Fan ordered takeout, De Xinglong’s President Jiang ended up personally delivering it. Was this all arranged or merely a coincidence?
If it was arranged, how could Lin Fan, a mere assistant, have persuaded President Jiang of De Xinglong? It must be a coincidence. It just seemed that Lin Fan was incredibly lucky, coincidentally having President Jiang deliver the takeout, leaving President Chen with no faults to find!
President Jiang also personally carved some roast duck for Liu Mengjie and Lin Fan to taste.
After trying it, they both gave a thumbs up, genuinely impressed.
"President Jiang, your roast duck is truly excellent. Next time, I’ll definitely bring some friends to eat at your place," Lin Fan smiled.
President Jiang, not knowing exactly why, seemed almost hesitant to look directly at Lin Fan, just said with a laugh, "You’re more than welcome."
After a while, President Jiang said, "I have some other things to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further. Enjoy your meal. I shall take my leave first."
With that, President Jiang said his goodbyes and left.
Lin Fan chuckled, "I never expected that De Xinglong’s owner would personally come to deliver roast duck. It must be thanks to President Chen’s reputation. President Jiang must have come because he knew you were here."
Lin Fan’s words pleased President Chen greatly, but President Chen knew better. His reputation wasn’t enough to make President Jiang personally show up. This must have been a coincidence.
Lin Fan indeed found it amusing in his heart. This, of course, was not a coincidence.
