I'm not a theatre god

"Special envoy, are you satisfied?"

Zong Wen, wearing a floral shirt, sat next to Chen Ling and asked with a smile.

Chen Ling knew that the old man was probably not asking about the decoration of the restaurant, let alone the dishes that had not yet been opened. Looking at the romantic look in his eyes, she knew that he was asking about the "tasting" just now.

Chen Ling was too lazy to talk to him. Now that he had found the painting, the remaining steps were irrelevant. If he hadn't continued to play the role of "special envoy", he would have turned around and left...

Chen Ling took a sip of tea and said nothing, as if she didn't hear Zong Wen's question at all.

Zong Wen's smile gradually became awkward. Perhaps he sensed that the special envoy was not in a good mood. He turned back and glared at Liu Qingyan, as if asking what was going on, but the latter just stood silently at the door, motionless.

"Special envoy, just eating is too boring. I have also prepared some performances for you..."

"Performance?"

Chen Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at Zong Wen, as if she was wondering if this guy was trying to do something fancy again.

But as Zong Wen applauded gently and the orchestra walked onto the stage, Chen Ling felt a little relieved... Fortunately, this time it was really just a "performance".

As the melodious music sounded, the restaurant was suddenly immersed in an elegant atmosphere. In front of the stage, there were only two exclusive tables for Chen Ling and Zong Wen. Each table was lit with decorative glass candles, and silver-white knives were used on each table. The surface of the fork is like a spark of light.

Needless to say, Zong Wen has some artistic flair, at least the atmosphere and style are just right.

"Sir Special Envoy, these are the top celebrity chefs that I specially recruited from the major hotels in the main city of Hongchen today." Zong Wen said with a smile, "And these ingredients are all freshly transported here. They will definitely be given to you. Top taste bud enjoyment! ”

He clapped his hands and said, "Serve the special envoy!"

Zong Wen gave the order, and the celebrity chefs who had been waiting around for a long time pushed the dining cart forward and began to put food on the table for the two of them. A dinner plate fastened by a metal cover was placed in front of Chen Ling.

"The first dish is steamed chicken feet with purple gold sauce. Please taste it, my special envoy!"

Snapped--!

The metal cover was opened in front of Chen Ling, and several chicken feet appeared in front of Chen Ling.

[Audience Expectation Value +2]

Chen Ling's eyes fell on the plate of chicken feet in front of her, as if she had discovered something. With one hand, she picked up a half-eaten chicken foot, with a trace of skin still attached to the bone. The expression under the mask was extremely subtle.

Seeing the chicken feet in Chen Ling's hand, Zong Wen's smile suddenly stiffened.

Chen Ling was silent for a moment and then slowly spoke:

"Your Huadu Consortium's presentation... is quite unique."

The smile on Zong Wen's face gradually became unbearable. He stared at the chefs who were delivering the food, as if he was going to eat people the next moment!

Seeing the "skinless chicken feet" in Chen Ling's hand, several chefs were also stunned. After noticing Zong Wen's questioning gaze, their backs were instantly soaked with cold sweat, and they hesitated to speak,

"No...it shouldn't be...no one in the kitchen should eat secretly..."

Zong Wen's face turned red with anger. At this moment, various thoughts flashed through his mind... Logically speaking, these celebrity chefs should not steal a chicken foot. Could it be that someone was bribed by the Beidou Consortium? , specifically to sow discord between him and the special envoy? ?

What a vicious business war!

"Special envoy, there is probably some misunderstanding here..." Zong Wen explained bravely.

boom--! !

At this moment, a loud noise came from outside, and the whole earth shook.

The frightened people looked outside and saw a thick black smoke rising from the distance. Just when Zong Wen was stunned, a figure hurried in from outside.

"Chairman! Someone blew up the kitchen!!"

"What? Blow up the kitchen??" Zong Wen stayed where he was.

Chen Ling:......

After hearing these words, Chen Ling's expression under the mask suddenly became a little exciting. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, it was probably what those three guys did.

But Chen Ling couldn't figure it out... Why are these three guys blowing up the kitchen? ?

"Has anyone been caught?" Zong Wen came back to his senses and asked immediately.

"No... when our men rushed over, they found nothing. The culprit is probably still in the manor." The housekeeper said immediately, "However, the bodyguards have been dispatched and are searching the area around the kitchen with all their strength."

"Damn, trash! A bunch of trash!!" Zong Wen's neck turned red in anger. He didn't know who the person who did this was, but he guessed that the other person was probably here to disrupt the banquet.

At the same time, Chen Ling stood up slowly, and a deep voice sounded:

"It seems that it is time for this special envoy to leave."

"Special envoy! Please give me a little more time. This is just a small episode. I promise it will be resolved soon..." Zong Wen suddenly became anxious and walked directly to Chen Ling and said pleadingly.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued, "These people are probably here to disrupt the relationship between us and you, the special envoy... They are really vicious. With your strength, the special envoy, you must only take a little action..."

"Chairman Zong, I know what you are thinking."

Chen Ling's eyes under the mask were as deep as the abyss, "This special envoy will not be involved in the grudge between your Huadu Consortium and the Beidou Consortium. Don't even think about taking this opportunity to seduce Special Envoy."

Chen Ling's words backhandedly labeled Jian Changsheng and others the "Beidou Consortium" and directly pushed all the blame away, perfectly clearing the relationship between him and the Twilight Society, and also for his own dissatisfaction. Found a reason to take action.

Zong Wen was stunned for a moment. From Chen Ling's words, he finally figured out the meaning... Since the special envoy said so, it means that the other party is indeed someone from the Beidou Consortium!

Zong Wen gritted his teeth and struggled for a moment, then said: "I understand... Then please ask the special envoy to rest here for a while, I will solve this matter soon."

He turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he thought of something and walked to the three bodyguards behind him:

"You three, you must guard this level for me. You must not let anyone disturb the special envoy. Do you understand? You must serve him well and stabilize him..."

"clear!"

After the explanation, Zong Wen hurriedly left with the others.

Chen Ling sat alone at the dining table and glanced at the three high-level bodyguards who were left standing guard at the door. Although some accidents occurred, things were still progressing steadily in the general direction...

Elegant orchestral music was still playing on the stage. Chen Ling was sitting alone in the luxurious restaurant, gently shaking the red wine glass and taking a leisurely sip.
