"Shen Qiang is a chef?" Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend said in shock.

Bianyi smiled and said, "Yes, and he's actually the owner of Datong River. I'm just an employee."

Lan Yong was stunned, Lan Yong's girlfriend was stunned, Wu Zhaoyang was stunned, and Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend was also stunned.

Seeing their astonished looks, Shen Qiang was slightly surprised and sent a telepathic message to Lan Yong and Wu Zhaoyang, "When I went to Shanghai a while ago, it was to participate in the Huaxia Cuisine Awards. I thought you guys knew already."

Lan Yong said in astonishment, "If you were going to play in the CBA, I might have known, but didn't you go to Shanghai to fight with the Zhang Family? There's a lot of talk on the forum, about a 'mighty dragon crossing the river', a 'thousand-year-old demon', the 'King of Demons', nobody mentioned you going to a culinary competition."

Wu Zhaoyang was amazed, "All we knew was that you went to Shanghai to fight with the Zhang Family, everyone was spreading rumors that you were a 'thousand-year-old demon', the 'King of Demons' and stuff. No one on the forum mentioned anything about you and Datong River."

At this point, Shen Qiang himself was stunned.

In the Immortal Realm Forum, did really no one mention this?

When he thought about it carefully, it seemed true that after having a fight with the Zhang Family, none of the people from the three major families in Shanghai had made any statements.

So, for other cultivators in Huaxia who weren't interested in gourmet food, it was normal not to know the relationship between Shen Qiang and Datong River.

After all, if it wasn't for food they were particularly fond of, people wouldn't pay attention to culinary events.

The group took their seats.

Bianyi also wanted to sit.

Shen Qiang coughed and sent a telepathic message, "Just stand."

Bianyi reluctantly sent a message, "Boss, I performed so well, and you still want me to stand?"

"If you hadn't performed well, I would have asked you to leave already," Shen Qiang sent back.

Bianyi awkwardly said, "Boss, I've even changed my name to Shen Bian. Can't you let me join you guys for a meal?"

"Don't even dream about it," Shen Qiang coolly raised an eyebrow as he telepathically replied, "If I let you sit with me just because you changed your name to Shen Bian, then if you changed your name to Niu Bian, should I set up a memorial tablet and worship you?"

"Despicable," Bianyi sent back unhappily. "You're abusing me. I've been coughing up blood fiercely, and my health is getting worse by the day. If you don't cure me, I'll die soon, and then you won't have anyone to do things for you."

Shen Qiang laughed and replied telepathically, "If you don't want to die, you have two choices, 1. Seek medical treatment, 2. Complete the task I assigned you before you die of illness, to prove your worth."

Bianyi fell silent for a moment before saying, "I've mailed my blood sample to the US, and they can't do anything either."

Shen Qiang laughed, "That's really bad news, and now you're left with one choice."

Bianyi sighed helplessly.

At that moment, Lan Yong, with bright and excited eyes, said, "Since Shen Qiang is the owner of Datong River, that must mean eating is free, so I'll order boldly without worrying about the cost."

Upon hearing this,

Bianyi laughed and said very seriously, "As the boss, he has to set an example, so when Shen Qiang, the boss, eats, there are no discounts."

With a slight smile at the astonished Lan Yong, Bianyi spoke with crystal-clear eyes, "But if you guys come next time and look for me, then I can make the call to give you a 20% discount, since we are good friends after all." Giving Shen Qiang a cold look, Bianyi continued, "I am not like some heartless bosses who won't even treat their sick employees but instead skin them alive for profit."

Shen Qiang laughed and said to everyone present, "Shen Bian here just loves to joke around, don't mind him. Order whatever you want, it would be a waste not to be willful in the Willful Restaurant."

When Lan Yong heard this, his eyes lit up, "I knew it, Brother Qiang is all about loyalty, it's awesome hanging out with Brother Qiang. That Pei Zhengyi, he has been ridiculing us a lot at school."

"All thanks to Brother Qiang, my mood today is really great," Lan Yong's girlfriend laughed.

Wu Zhaoyang's girlfriend also beamed with joy, "Yes, without Brother Qiang, I might never have had the chance to come to a restaurant like this with Zhaoyang."

And Wu Zhaoyang earnestly said to Shen Qiang, "Thanks, Brother Qiang, I swear loyalty to you for life."

Seeing the looks of disappointment on Bianyi's face upon hearing their words, Shen Qiang laughed, snapped his fingers, and said, "Shen Bian, what are you dawdling for? Go tell the chef that the boss is here, and to prepare a specialty dish for each person, no matter if it's Chinese or Western. Arrange for some good wine too, will you?"

Bianyi left helplessly.

No sooner had he left than Lan Yong started chuckling, "Brother Qiang, I'm really impressed. That Pei Zhengyi, he acts all high and mighty at school, calling Wu brother 'Monster' and mockingly calling me 'Little Wolf Dog,' always surrounded by a bunch of people. If Wu brother hadn't stopped me, I would have taken him down a long time ago."

Shen Qiang laughed, "No worries, that was then. If he ever acts up again with you guys, just tell me. I'll help you guys roll him into a ball and kick him around for fun."

Lan Yong chuckled gleefully, "That's awesome, by God, this is life. Before, I only felt good on the basketball court; everywhere else, I just took crap. Just thinking about that grandson Pei Zhengyi apologizing earlier makes me want to laugh. If people from Polytechnic heard about it, they would die laughing."

Wu Zhaoyang also laughed, "Hahaha, boasting all about being a VIP Supreme, then ended up with a slap in the face and a baton beating, hahaha, I could laugh about this for ten years."

His girlfriend also smiled, hugging Wu Zhaoyang affectionately and said, "Which is why you must repay Brother Qiang well."

Hmm!

Wu Zhaoyang nodded vigorously.

Meanwhile, Shen Qiang and the others were tasting the appetizers in the restaurant.

Dinghao's Boss Zhang, furious, stormed into the third-floor security surveillance room with Pei Zhengyi, the bald man who Bianyi had announced was fired, and several men who looked like bodyguards.

Without a word, he forcibly took down the surveillance hard drive.

After detaching the hard drive, Boss Zhang handed it to Pei Zhengyi with a cold voice, "Xiao Pei, don't take it to heart. Dinghao is still run by the Zhang family; it's not up to a Shen to call the shots. Follow me, I'll help you get this place back. That Shen Qiang thinks he can crap on my neck? He's got another thing coming."

With eyes as sharp as ice, Pei Zhengyi securely tucked the hard drive away and said, "Uncle Zhang, I knew it, that Shen Qiang is just a show-off with no real power. I'll call my classmates over now, and they can watch while you humiliate him."

"No problem," Boss Zhang said.

Pei Zhengyi laughed and made the call, "Come quickly, it's our turn to turn the tables. Thinks he's hot stuff, does he? Just watch how I handle him."

After ending the call.

Pei Zhengyi looked at Dinghao's Boss Zhang and asked, "Uncle Zhang, what do you think we should do now?"

Infuriated, Boss Zhang declared, "When you hit someone, you slap their face; when you berate someone, you expose their shortcomings. Since Shen Qiang is so full of himself and doesn't regard me at all, I see no reason to be polite with him. Follow me, let's go to the restaurant and confront him!"
