Chapter 351: Lunar New Year

"Wasn't the jar just fine? How did it suddenly explode?" Ling Rui was utterly confused.

Thank you readers!

"How would I know?" Ling Mingshan was confused too. "They only said that they were doing some tests on the jar when it exploded."

"How could this be?" Ling Rui said, crestfallen. "If we don't have the jar, does that mean we've lost everything?"

Ever since Magical Kitchen closed its doors, they had hoped to turn the tables by figuring how to replicate the bronze jar. If they could do it, they could continue to produce magical cuisine, and even the wondrous weight loss tea and beauty cream.

When that happened, Tai An Group would easily rake in millions or even billions in profit.

Now that the jar had exploded, their final ray of hope was extinguished.

Ling Mingshan suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He gritted his teeth as he looked toward the crowd. "I say, no wonder that kid can be so calm. He was never planning on taking the jar back. He must have done something to it."

"What? It's him?" Ling Rui exclaimed.

"Who else could it be?" Ling Mingshan blurted angrily. "Why didn't the jar explode any sooner or later, but at this crucial moment? He's taken us for a ride!"

"Father! That kid is a total scoundrel!" Ling Rui said viciously.

"This kid has a powerful background. We can't touch him here. We'll have to retreat for now. Don't be rash and do anything stupid," Ling Mingshan said with a low voice.

"Are we going to let him go just like that, Father?" Ling Rui said indignantly.

"What else do you want to do? I've already told you, we'll come back for him. It's never too late for revenge!" Ling Mingshan reprimanded his son.

He was also very angry. After this, Tai An Group would become a joke in Provincial City's business world. If they had continued with the collaboration, half of the city's magical cuisine market would still be theirs. Too bad, their greed had caused them to lose everything.

They did not expect the kid to have powerful people backing him. They would have to retreat and come up with another plan.

"Let's go!" He shouted, then got in his car.

Ling Rui gritted his teeth. He was not satisfied with the outcome.

Eventually, he grunted angrily, then got in the car.

The convoy of cars hastily left the scene.

Everyone in the public square cheered. Everyone stood up and crowded around Secretary Weng to greet him.

Tang Hao also stood up from his seat and went to greet the province secretary.

"Here, Secretary Weng, this is the Lil Bro Tang that I've been telling you. He's the one who invented magical cuisine," Vice Governor He said.

Secretary Weng examined Tang Hao for a while and exclaimed, "You're so young yet so accomplished! That is incredible!"

"You flatter me, Secretary!" Tang Hao replied modestly.

"Haha, you don't have to be so humble, young man!" Secretary Weng laughed heartily. He shook hands with Tang Hao.

"Young man, I've heard from Changshun about your accomplishments. Not bad at all! Province Z is lucky to have someone like you!" Secretary Weng praised him.
