On the stage, Krystal was staring at Kai with a grin as she could easily guess the purpose of his phone call.
There was indeed a master in his family these few days – the founder of China's best eatery, Green Lotus. He had prepared meals for ministers from Great Britain, France, and Germany before, and he was born into a family of renowned chefs. He had been achieving astounding results since he was young. But in recent years, he kept a low profile and rarely showed himself to the public.
A top chef like him actually had deep connections with the Kai's family. It was also only because of his cousin He Xin that Kai was able to invite William Fee.
Kai did not even think about it before because of He Xin's status but the situation now left him with no choice but to ask his father for a favor and request for He Xin's assistance. It was not just about Krystal, but it was also for Kai and the family's honor.
After a while, Kai regained his smile, and Kryst was relieved as well.
Looking at Kai's expression, he probably got it settled with his father. Only someone like Kai's father would be able to invite someone of He Xin's status. Kai's father studied overseas when he was still young and he was classmates with He Xin. It seemed that he helped He Xin quite a lot, so it only took a word from Kai for He Xin to help out for the sake of his father.
If He Xin came here, he might not be on par with Danial's culinary skills, but his status and influence was not limited to just cooking...
Quickly, Kai went back to Krystal, and smiled gently, "Krystal, don't be angry anymore. In just moments, there will be a bigger surprise. Uncle He Xin will be here to make some dishes for you personally!"
Krystal pulled a surprised face as she shook her head and said, "My dear Kai, what are you doing? Why would I be angry? It is one of the few nights that my sister can enjoy herself. I don't want to compete with her or even fight with her for anything. I'm satisfied as long as I'm with you!"
Hearing what she said, Kai hugged her tight in his arms and his tone became even gentler "Krystal, I know that you don't like to fight with other people but tonight is your night. I won't let anyone steal your spotlight. I think Jennie won't as well. We'll just have her put up with this for once!"
Kai sighed secretly, thinking about some time before this that he neglected Krystal and put her through a lot because of the assistant's incident. This was the girl he promised to protect forever. For such an important night, he wanted to make her happy...
In the end, Krystal nodded obediently, glanced over to Jennie who was still tasting the dishes, and let out a cold laugh thinking that Jennie had no right to fight with her!
...
Tonight's banquet was more lively than usual with crowds of journalists surrounding the hotel but the hotel had provisionally hired extra security and blocked off uninvited guests.
At the moment, Jennie was having a conversation with Mr. Danial, revolving around the topic of the sources of food and cooking methods. Mr. Danial was very kind and equipped with his years of expertise and experience, he patiently answered Jennie's questions one by one.
"Thank you, Mr. Danial. You're the best!" Jennie happily expressed her gratitude.
"If not for the fear of objection from my peers, I might have taken you in as my student!" Mr. Danial said laughingly. Clearly, he liked this newfound friend who was passionate about cooking as well.
As Jennie was about to say something, a loud, cold "Hmph" spread across the hall.
