Yu Heyan looked at the photo and swallowed.
"Mr. Yu, the food at our hotel is absolutely top-class."
The hotel manager, standing two or three meters away, said with a smile.
He had seen Yu Heyan swallow just now.
It seemed the dishes had greatly interested him.
As a super-rich man and a top gourmet, Yu Heyan's praise could bring the hotel many benefits.
But trying to buy his compliments with money was impossible.
Yu Heyan focused his gaze on the dishes in front of him.
Originally, he thought they looked acceptable.
But now he felt that in terms of color, aroma, and taste… the color wasn't good, and the aroma was average.
He could only hope that the taste would be decent.
After all, for cuisine, taste is always the most important.
After taking the first bite, Yu Heyan slightly frowned.
He tasted the second dish, then the third.
Each dish he only tried one bite.
"Change the chef."
Yu Heyan shook his head.
There were six dishes in front of him, but he didn't even bother trying the remaining three.
"Mr. Yu, these aren't good enough?"
The manager's expression changed slightly.
These had been personally cooked by their head chef.
"Below average."
Yu Heyan shook his head again.
"Bring another chef to try."
The hotel had already prepared for this.
Soon another chef's dishes were served.
This time, Yu Heyan didn't even take three bites. After the second bite, he stood up.
"You should consider changing your chefs."
Leaving that sentence behind, Yu Heyan walked out directly.
Normally, even if the food wasn't great, he would still eat a bit more to fill his stomach.
But after seeing the photos Lin Chen sent, he suddenly had no appetite.
He sent a message to Lin Chen:
"Mr. Lin, did you make these dishes?"
"They are simply works of art!"
"Mr. Lin, I'd like to reserve dinner tomorrow as well."
But Lin Chen was eating at the moment and hadn't checked his messages.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen called back.
"Mr. Yu, I only accept three to five tables per month."
"The shop just opened, so this month I can accept a few more."
"But each person can only make one reservation per month."
Yu Heyan's expression turned strange.
There were actually such rules?
Was he not interested in making money?
"Then I'll make another reservation under my wife's name."
Lin Chen: "..."
"Sorry, Mr. Yu. That reservation cannot be approved."
"You can recommend capable friends to book. You can come together."
Yu Heyan frowned.
"Mr. Lin, don't you think your rules are a bit too many?"
Lin Chen said calmly,
"I'm not doing this to make money. I just want to make more friends."
"If you think my rules are too many, you can cancel the reservation."
Yu Heyan: "..."
He had tasted many cuisines in his life.
But he had never met someone this arrogantly confident.
In other restaurants, the customer is God.
But here, Lin Chen had a pile of rules.
"Mr. Lin, I'll come on time tomorrow."
"I'll have someone deliver the ingredients to your shop three hours in advance."
After saying that, Yu Heyan hung up the phone.
After thinking for a moment, he called Zhang Qingyuan.
"Old Zhang, isn't the Lin Chen you recommended a bit too big-shot? I wanted to reserve dinner too, but he refused."
Zhang Qingyuan replied from the other side,
"Boss Yu, if you can successfully reserve a meal with Master Lin, you should already be satisfied."
"You'll understand tomorrow."
Yu Heyan was surprised.
"Is it really that amazing?"
Zhang Qingyuan said,
"You'd better skip breakfast tomorrow."
"Otherwise you might not be able to eat much at lunch."
"I'm even planning to eat less tonight."
Yu Heyan said in disbelief,
"Is he really that good?"
Zhang Qingyuan replied,
"I've eaten state banquets several times."
"But compared to Master Lin's cooking, they're at least two streets behind."
"Boss Yu, be polite to Master Lin tomorrow."
"Otherwise you won't get to eat his food again—and you might even drag me down with you."
Yu Heyan was stunned.
"Even the person who recommended him could be affected?"
Zhang Qingyuan replied,
"Master Lin didn't say it directly, but if someone he recommends causes trouble, the recommender probably won't be able to make reservations in the future either."
"You should recommend others after you've eaten there yourself."
After hanging up the call, Yu Heyan felt extremely curious.
He knew Zhang Qingyuan wasn't someone obsessed with food.
Yet after eating once, he still couldn't stop thinking about it.
"Could he be putting illegal ingredients in the dishes?"
Yu Heyan muttered to himself.
Of course, it was only a thought.
He knew Lin Chen wouldn't do such a thing.
Otherwise he wouldn't be making friends—he'd be offending all his customers.
Soon it was the next day.
After breakfast, Lin Chen was teaching Lin Xiaoqian to practice Tai Chi.
Xu Mengyao watched from the side.
Xiaoqian's Tai Chi already looked somewhat proper.
Recently, even on the day of the engagement, Lin Chen had continued teaching her.
Fortunately, Xiaoqian didn't dislike it.
Half an hour later, the practice ended.
"System, how long before I can obtain internal energy?"
Lin Chen asked in his mind.
Ten hours of practice would allow him to start developing internal energy.
But each training session was short, so the progress was slow.
System:"Host, your accumulated time is currently 9 hours and 36 minutes. You still need 24 minutes."
Lin Chen felt delighted.
Tomorrow he would finally begin developing internal energy!
But having internal energy and having powerful internal energy were two different things.
To reach Master Level Tai Chi, he needed 50 hours of practice.
"System, can Xiaoqian practice one hour a day now?"
Lin Chen asked again in his mind.
Practicing only half an hour a day was too slow.
System replied:
"If each session is separated by more than six hours, it is possible."
Lin Chen began massaging Xiaoqian to help her relax.
"Xiaoqian, Daddy has to go to work."
"When I come back, do you want to practice again?"
Xiaoqian nodded.
"Daddy, I want to."
"If I become stronger, I can protect Mommy. Hehe."
Xu Mengyao felt warm in her heart.
This little padded jacket of a daughter sometimes leaked wind—but most of the time, she was very warm.
"Hubby, she's still so young. Can her body handle it?"
"I think she gets quite tired after one session."
Xu Mengyao asked worriedly.
Lin Chen smiled.
"As long as the sessions are six hours apart, and I help her relax afterward, it won't be a problem."
"Her physical condition needs improvement."
Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen curiously.
"Daddy, how strong are you now?"
"I want to see."
Lin Chen laughed.
"Xiaoqian, try pushing this coffee table."
"See if you can move it."
Their coffee table was made of solid wood and very heavy—probably 100 to 200 kilograms.
"Yaah!"
Xiaoqian ran over to the table.
She pushed with both tiny hands using all her strength.
But she was far too small to move such a heavy table.
Lin Chen walked over and placed one hand under the table.
"Up!"
With the other hand lightly supporting it, Lin Chen lifted the 100–200 kilogram coffee table with one hand.
Xu Mengyao stared blankly.
"Xiaoqian, how about that?"
Lin Chen set the table down and smiled.
Xiaoqian clapped excitedly.
"Daddy, you're amazing! You're so strong!"
"I want to become a strongman too!"
Lin Chen kissed Xiaoqian.
"Then you have to work hard."
"Mhm!"
Lin Chen stood up and looked at Xu Mengyao.
"Honey, I have to go to the restaurant."
"I need to prepare some ingredients in advance."
"Okay."
Xu Mengyao stepped forward and hugged Lin Chen.
Xiaoqian said in her childish voice:
"Daddy, you should kiss each other!"
"The song says—"
"If you love me, then hug me."
"If you love me, then kiss me."
