Chapter 872 - 119 Acting_2
"It seems Fuman Building is truly in trouble now,"
Hearing the man’s mockery, Zhao Hongsheng curled the corners of his mouth, sneering, "If Xia Zheng could be defeated so easily, then wouldn’t I be nothing but a straw man?"
The man grew fearful and bowed his head deeply, "This servant deserves to die!"
"No matter," Zhao Hongsheng chuckled lightly, his eyes still fixed on the Fragrant Full Building across the street. Although the sign had been re-hung and the entrance swept clean, it somehow looked all the more desolate.
"If it were only Xia Zheng, it might be tolerable, but now Lin Yuan has emerged. Humph, Zhao Hongde must have really lucked out to have so many capable people under him."
This time the man was much more reserved, though his tone still carried an unmistakable arrogance, "Are you referring to that kitchen lady? I’ve heard of her. They say the girl has some culinary skills, but in my opinion, she’s at most a bit clever. If it really comes to a cooking contest, I guarantee that she’s not worth mentioning."
They had already investigated Lin Yuan’s abilities thoroughly. A small village girl from the countryside, who by chance, prepared a couple of exotic dishes for Old Mr. Zhen, earning herself a cooperation opportunity with the Fuman Building. If she truly had any talent, it was probably in developing the method to make tofu. But that didn’t mean she was all that remarkable.
In the cloaked man’s opinion, these were merely minor clever tricks.
