The Road to Becoming a Son-in-Law

Chapter 248 Borrowing a Cook

Chapter 248 Borrowing a Cook

Mr. Xu, who always cared about his image, seemed to have no regard for appearances at the dinner table this time, and kept eating. Seeing his father eating all his favorite dishes, Young Master Xu dared not speak out in anger, and could only speed up the process of picking up food with his hands.

After a long while, the father and son, their bellies full, finally put down their chopsticks with satisfaction.

Master Xu: "The taste here is even better than you described."

Young Master Xu snorted smugly: "My son never lies."

Old Master Xu rolled his eyes. He remembered clearly all the times he had to get sick every day to avoid practicing martial arts when he was a child.

After digesting his thoughts, Master Xu asked Murong Yunhai, "Manager Murong, may I see your boss?"

“Alright,” Murong Yunhai said, “Then Mr. Xu, please wait here for a moment. I’ll go find our boss now.”

Murong Yunhai found Chen Feng and told him that Master Xu wanted to see him. Chen Feng nodded and said, "Then let's go."

When he saw Chen Feng, Master Xu was also stunned by Chen Feng's aura. Looking at this man's temperament, he couldn't even compare to his own. This kind of temperament cannot be cultivated overnight.

It wasn't until Young Master Xu called out to him that Old Master Xu snapped out of his reverie. Young Master Xu scratched his head and asked, puzzled, "Father, what were you thinking about just now? You were daydreaming."

Master Xu ignored Young Master Xu and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Chen. I've heard Manager Murong talk about you, but seeing is believing."

Chen Feng shook hands with Master Xu and replied with a smile, "I have often heard people talk about Master Xu and Young Master Xu. Now I am finally able to meet them. Young Master Xu, in particular, is truly a handsome man."

Looking at Chen Feng, who was about the same age as his son but was many times better than him, and then at his silly son who had just burped, Old Master Xu couldn't bear to look and looked away.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to admit that this was his son, but no matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had to face reality: this was his son, and his own flesh and blood.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mr. Xu finally revealed why he wanted to see Chen Feng.

Because Master Xu will be hosting a banquet at his residence in a few days, and all the guests invited to the banquet are his friends, including Master Xu himself, who are all prominent figures.

Master Xu hadn't seen some of his friends for a long time, so he attached great importance to this banquet. He even personally inspected the decorations in the corners. This was also an important reason why Master Xu had been keeping his young master confined and not letting him go out these days.

If they attach such importance to the arrangement of the banquet, then the food served at the banquet must be even more so.

Originally, Master Xu had already hired head chefs, and he had personally tasted their cooking skills, which were indeed very delicious. However, that was all before he ate the food at Xinyuelou.

After tasting the food at Xinyuelou, he then tried the dishes prepared by the chefs he had found. They were simply not worth mentioning, and Master Xu's evaluation of them changed from delicious to barely edible.

Now that there are better options, the old ones are no longer acceptable.

Master Xu said, "That's how it is. So I'd like to borrow some chefs from New Moon Restaurant from Boss Chen. I'll give Boss Chen a satisfactory reward. I just don't know if Boss Chen is willing to lend me some chefs."

Chen Feng had a good impression of Master Xu. After listening to Master Xu's request, Chen Feng thought about it for a while. Now that New Moon Restaurant was on the right track and there were enough chefs, even if a few chefs were temporarily missing, it wouldn't have any impact. So Chen Feng nodded and agreed to Master Xu's request, saying, "Since Master Xu has said so, of course it's fine. But there's no need for payment. Just come to New Moon Restaurant to eat more often in the future."

Master Xu is a good person, and he is happy to form a good relationship with him.

No matter what Master Xu said, Chen Feng resolutely refused to accept any payment. Master Xu admired Chen Feng's noble character and made up his mind that he would take care of New Moon Tower from now on.

……

Mr. Xu was greeted by an old friend. He smiled and went inside with the person. "Old Xu, it's been a long time. I wonder how you've been lately."

"Still the same, but my good-for-nothing son has become more and more delightful lately."

Whether they are men or women who are close friends, the topic they like to discuss most when they get together is their offspring. After Mr. Xu’s first friend arrived, Young Master Xu had already anticipated what would happen, so he ran out in advance and asked the servants to leave a message for Mr. Xu, saying that he had something to do and had gone out first, so that Mr. Xu would not worry if he could not find him.

After hearing the servant's report, Master Xu was so angry that he gritted his teeth. What was he worried about? He just wanted to lock that brat up for a few years, no, a few years wasn't enough, he wanted at least a dozen years.

"Achoo." Young Master Xu rubbed his nose, thinking to himself: Could it be that Dad is thinking about me again after he found out I'm out?

Sigh, I've already told the servants and my father not to worry about me.

The attendant asked from the side, "Young master, where are we going this time?"

Young Master Xu tapped his follower on the head with his folding fan and said, "Of course we're going to Crescent Moon Pavilion."

"By the way, Old Xu, why haven't I seen my nephew all day?"

When his old friend asked about his son, Mr. Xu's smile froze. He couldn't very well say that the brat had secretly run away, could he? So he said, "Hey, I don't know what's wrong with that brat lately. He insists on going out and buying me this and that all the time, saying he wants to be filial to his father."

The old friend rolled his eyes. As Mr. Chen's old friends, they were well aware of Mr. Chen's spoiled nature. One of the old friends said with a smile, "Old Xu, your son is much more promising. Unlike my good-for-nothing son, who said he didn't want me to work too hard at such a young age and has been managing the family business all this time. Now I can only enjoy my retirement at home."

"What you said reminds me of my son..."

Listening to his old friends' various subtle boasts about their sons, Mr. Xu almost lost face. Thinking of his young master's carefree and irresponsible manner, and how even his martial arts practice and studies now required restraint, Mr. Xu had a certain thought once again when compared to his old friends' children.

The old friend suddenly said, "If you ask me, the most filial one is Old Xu's son. Old Xu, you tell me."

Master Xu: "..."

What did he say? Was he going to talk about how his son made him angry every day? Or how his son was always causing him trouble?
