Chapter 490: Chapter 490: This guy, a bit arrogant

"The taste of this dish..."

In the private room, several small dishes were placed on the table.

Mr. Jiang picked up a chopstickful and put it in his mouth.

He immediately sat there in astonishment.

"Mr. Jiang, what’s wrong? Is it not to your taste?"

Li Qiqi sat to the left of Lin Fan, curiously looking at him.

As a person of privilege in Modu, he had definitely seen and eaten it all.

These few small dishes of mine probably didn’t catch his eye.

"No... no... it’s... it’s too delicious!"

Mr. Jiang hastily shook his head.

The excited man really didn’t know how to express himself.

"I couldn’t imagine that at such a young age, you could cook flavors that are a hundred times better than the royal chefs in Beijing; this is really miraculous. I have never tasted such delicious food!"

"Mr. Jiang, you’re exaggerating. I’m just a little cook, not that impressive. As long as you don’t dislike it, it’s good."

Blushing from the praise, Li Qiqi pursed her lips and looked towards Lin Fan.

Getting approval from anyone is not as sweet as getting it from him.

"How could I dislike it... How about this, I’ll hire you as my personal chef. You won’t even need to come to my place to cook; I’ll have someone pick up the meals from you every day. If I could enjoy such deliciousness every day of my life, my life would not be in vain!"

Mr. Jiang looked eagerly at Li Qiqi.

Such a taste of heaven was simply a complete package of color, aroma, and flavor.

If one could always eat food like this.

It would definitely be one of life’s great pleasures.

"I’m afraid that’s not possible. I’m already too busy... Just cooking for my teacher takes a long time every day, so coming here to help out, I can only make some soup at best."

Li Qiqi said with a blushing face, shaking her head.

Coming to Phoenix Building to help was just stealing time out of her busy schedule.

After all, she was still in charge of Mr. Zhang’s meals.

The cost of deliciousness was mental and physical labor; she was already stretched thin.

"Cooking for your teacher? Whatever he’s offering, I can give ten times, a hundred times more. Isn’t that enough?"

Mr. Jiang was a super-wealthy man.

Money, to him, was absolutely no issue at all.

In his eyes, any of Jiangning’s rich businessmen were mere peasants.

"No, it’s not about the money."

Li Qiqi firmly refused without hesitation.

Cooking for the Heavenly Master wasn’t something money could buy.

"Silly child, everything in this world is about money. With money, you can solve ninety-nine point nine percent of your problems, and the remaining zero point one is cured by Lin’s medicine. Besides that, what else can’t be solved? How about I talk to your teacher? It doesn’t matter if I have to pay double!"

As a successful businessman, Mr. Jiang spoke in a way that was true to his nature.

In his view, the power of money was immense.

Of course, he had the art of speaking.

He cleverly flattered Lin Fan.

"Mr. Jiang, I’m afraid that’s not a matter for discussion; the difficulty of this matter is probably harder than reaching the heavens."

Lin Fan said, smiling as he picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

The meat prepared by Li Qiqi had a marvelous flavor.

If one went too long without eating it, they would surely miss it.

Even someone like Lin Fan, who lacked desire for taste, would never forget.

"So, the teacher Qi Qi talks about has a strong background? A few years ago, when I was in Beijing, I also met some friends with the same interests. Now I really want to know, who could earn such high regard from Lin."

Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

Some things can’t be settled just by talking.

He also needed to take practical action to prove his strength.

After all, only an exchange of equals could win someone’s high regard.

"He’s not a particularly big shot, just the Taoist number one, Mr. Zhang. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is familiar with him?"

Lin Fan said with a faint smile.

However, when he uttered those words, Mr. Jiang’s hand, which was picking up vegetables, suddenly stopped.

"The Heavenly Master... Qi Qi is cooking for the Heavenly Master?"

It took a long while before Mr. Jiang, coming back to his senses, looked at Li Qiqi in astonishment.

Hailed as the leading figure in Taoism, the Heavenly Master was considered a deity-like personality.

Let alone a mere wealthy merchant like himself.

Even for those with great power and influence, meeting such an esteemed person was extremely difficult.

Not to mention the power of someone ranked top three in the divine list, which was not something ordinary people could witness.

"That’s right, the Heavenly Master is currently staying at Qi Qi’s house, and she is cooking three meals a day for him. How about I introduce you to the Heavenly Master?"

Lin Fan’s words made Mr. Jiang shake his head repeatedly.

"Lin, you mustn’t spread my arrogant words just now, or else I wouldn’t even know how I died. I am but a firefly to the bright moon when compared to the Heavenly Master. Even if I were to be ground to dust, I couldn’t compare to even a single hair of his. I was ignorant and arrogant; let’s pretend I was just talking nonsense."

Bargaining with the Heavenly Master was out of his league.

After all, there was no comparison between mortals and gods.

"Mr. Jiang, there’s no need to be so agitated. My martial uncle is actually not that hard to get along with; it’s all just a joke," Lin Fan said, lifting his cup with a smile.

And these casual words widened Mr. Jiang’s eyes even more.

"Lin... you are the Heavenly Master’s martial nephew... No wonder... No wonder... I knew you were no ordinary man; you are indeed a brilliant disciple from the Heavenly Master’s lineage!"

"It’s nothing but a fortunate coincidence, Mr. Jiang mustn’t tell anyone!"

Lin Fan smiled mysteriously.

The reason for revealing his advantage

was to let the other party know that some things are best left untried.

And it’s only in a more equal status that a better partnership can be formed.

After all, Jiangning’s eldest son, Jiang Baojun, was the leader of an entire region.

He might be useful in the future.

Lin Fan couldn’t always be using the name of Dragon Tooth in his activities.

"Of course, of course, Lin, you’re speaking to me like this because you consider me one of your own. I understand," Mr. Jiang said, his tone suddenly very cautious.

This was the influence of a great name.

Once the Heavenly Master’s name was mentioned, everyone had to behave properly.

It was like rallying under a powerful banner.

"Feifei, why are you so quiet?"

After a long conversation, Lu Feifei had not said a word.

Lin Fan turned his head curiously and saw that she was still stuffing her mouth.

"Qi Qi’s cooking is so delicious, I really can’t stop eating. Now I just look forward to the day when Qi Qi’s skills reach perfection, and she marries into the family, perhaps then I will have the chance to learn from her how to serve a master like this," Lu Feifei said, licking her lips.

Her words made Qi Qi’s face turn red.

"Phoenix, you’re just joking. If I had your abilities, I wouldn’t need to learn cooking," Qi Qi replied.

Watching the two women seated next to Lin Fan chirp pleasantly,

Mr. Jiang couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Such an outstanding talent was truly unparalleled in this world.

His skill in the Female Control Skill was even better than his own.

So, a bold idea popped into his head.

Perhaps he ought to welcome this exceptional prospect as a son-in-law.

However, whenever he thought of his daughter’s difficult nature, he couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

But anyhow, he needed her to come and meet him first.
