Chapter 548: Five hundred and forty-three No Applicants_1

Instantly, fear crept into the hearts of Broken Brow and the others.

Just how unpalatable must it be to provoke such a reaction from these two?

At that moment, Broken Brow sighed internally, knowing that it was already a rare sight for a rich person like Director Gu to be able to cook.

Many wealthy people have nannies and butlers, and never even open the fridge in their kitchen on regular days.

It was truly uncommon for Director Gu to be able to cook something.

As for the taste, one really couldn’t set their expectations too high.

Broken Brow was now slightly regretful—if he had known better, he would have claimed he had eaten before coming.

That way, he wouldn’t have to suffer.

But what’s done is done, and even if it was unpalatable, they would just have to grit their teeth and eat it.

"Poison Hand, you’re being too much. Was there really a need to go to such lengths?" Hawkeye couldn’t stand by and watch any longer.

Saying that, he picked up a piece of celery as if challenging the dish, refusing to believe it could taste that bad.

Could it possibly be worse than the cockroaches and mudfish they had on the battlefield?

If they could eat tree bark, surely they could handle this?

After taking a bite, he instantly joined Iron Bull’s ranks.

The remaining three, including Broken Brow, looked at the transformation of Iron Bull and the other two.

For a moment, they too were afraid.

They had survived in all kinds of extreme environments and eaten all sorts of unsavory things.

Generally speaking, there was no such thing as inedible for them.

But now, the three of them couldn’t bring themselves to swallow, causing a panic in Broken Brow’s heart.

As the saying goes, the most terrifying things are those unknown.

He braced himself to pick up a piece of celery.

But since the celery had already "poisoned" two people, he decided to try a piece of beef instead.

He carefully picked the smallest piece of beef and put it into his mouth.

The very next second! He felt an extremely complex fragrance reverberating in his mouth.

All at once, his scalp tingled, and he felt goosebumps all over.

His chewing speed instantly hit the highest gear.

Delicious! It was incredibly delicious!

For a moment, he felt as if he were dreaming.

Never even in his dreams had he experienced such a situation.

He suddenly understood, he got it all.

No wonder Iron Bull and the others didn’t swallow.

Because the food was too delicious, so delectable that they couldn’t bear to swallow it down.

The remaining two were stunned.

Seeing all four members of their team in such a state, they were starting to dread it.

Though, by that time, Broken Brow and the others had finally managed to swallow their food.

After swallowing, all four of them said in unison, "So delicious!"

Having said that, they didn’t give the remaining two—who hadn’t tasted the food—any time to react; the four of them immediately started sweeping through the various dishes on the plate with their chopsticks.

The remaining two were a bit frightened.

They were accustomed to Iron Bull’s disregard for manners when eating.

But how had the other three, including Broken Brow, ended up behaving the same way?

They hurriedly grabbed their chopsticks and joined the storm of eating.

After tasting it, all the mysteries were unveiled, and they understood everything.

The food was simply a heavenly gift, absolutely intoxicating.

Director Gu was not surprised in the slightest by their reaction.

To date, everyone who had never before tasted his cooking had the same reaction upon their first taste.

Tang Tang was also very pleased to see them enjoying the food made by Director Gu.

The feeling was as if she herself had been complimented.

By the time they finished eating, it was already seven o’clock.

The table was left with only empty plates, as even the sauce left in them had been completely finished by the six of them.

This scene gave the impression that these people had never eaten before.

Even after having their fill, they still seemed unsatisfied.

As if they could have handled another plate had there been one.

However, Gu Chen didn’t have time to continue cooking.

"You eight go ahead, and take my car too," Gu Chen said to them.

There were six people, plus Ji Pianran and Tangtang, that made eight.

One car definitely wouldn’t be enough, so he had to give them his as well.

And so, the eight of them left the house to begin today’s escort mission.

Gu Chen cleaned up the dishes and cutlery while also pondering where to buy curtains later.

He remembered everything Hawkeye had said—a saying goes, there is no small matter in safety, and these things must not be forgotten.

While Gu Chen was still washing dishes, the landline suddenly rang.

When Gu Chen went to answer the phone, he heard Old Zhang’s voice on the other end.

"Director Gu, there’s been a problem."

Hearing Old Zhang’s words, Gu Chen wasn’t surprised.

He knew problems would arise sooner or later, but the only surprise was that they came so quickly.

"What happened?" he asked Old Zhang.

"Can’t recruit anyone, everyone who hears it’s our company hiring just runs away."

Hearing Old Zhang’s words, Gu Chen’s brow furrowed.

He truly hadn’t expected that group’s actions to be so swift.

Had they now locked down on his company, knowing about it?

"Don’t panic, just wait for now."

Gu Chen didn’t give Old Zhang any instructions.

Previously, Old Yuan had said that these developers might tell suppliers not to do business with them.

Unexpectedly, these people took extreme measures.

Not just telling suppliers not to do business with them, but directly telling everyone in the industry not to come to his company.

What a vast maneuver! How many people were there in Chuan City?

How could they control everyone to avoid his company?

It seemed they had deep roots in Chuan City.

Facing this, Gu Chen had to admit, he didn’t really have a good solution at the moment.

If those people wouldn’t come, he certainly couldn’t force them over.

He considered whether or not to discuss this matter with Wei Tianfu.

But then again, he thought better of it, as talking to Tian Fu might not yield any results.

This problem needed to be solved by himself.

If locals from Chuan City were unsuitable, he would have to recruit people from elsewhere.

After finishing washing the dishes, Gu Chen didn’t rush over to Old Zhang’s but first went to check on the day’s situation at Little White Liquor’s.

Being anxious about Old Zhang’s situation wasn’t going to help, but Little White Liquor was still making money.

Gu Chen understood what mattered more.

With money, there was always a way to solve problems; without it, one could only stare helplessly.

After arriving at the Little White Liquor company, Gu Chen inquired about sales.

Last night, all the Little White Liquor stocks placed in Chuan City were sold out again.

It sounded like a lot, a total of thirty thousand bottles, but in truth, Chuan City had so many supermarkets.

The thirty thousand bottles weren’t much when actually distributed.

In each supermarket, it amounted to just a few bottles.

Seeing that Little White Liquor’s situation was stable, Gu Chen felt relieved.

If they could maintain sales of thirty thousand bottles every day, that would be great.

At that rate, the profit would be one hundred and seventy thousand a day.

But he knew that wasn’t possible; it was just people trying out the new product.

Then he quickly went over to Old Zhang’s.
