Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Liu Qiangxi, being a business magnate who had weathered countless storms, quickly regained his composure and said politely, "Master Chen, you are too kind."

No matter why Chen Buhui was so enthusiastic, the mystery would eventually be revealed.

Now was not the time to ask, and he didn't need to ask himself; Chen Buhui would surely reveal it sooner or later.

By waiting for Chen Buhui to speak, he could take control of the situation.

Chen Buhui smiled and said, "President Liu, President Ma, President Xu, and Young Master Wang are all in the car, aren't they?"

Liu Qiangxi nodded and replied, "Yes, I will ask them to come down and meet you."

He immediately went back and informed the three—Ma Huateng.

The three got out of the car and approached Chen Buhui, and Liu Qiangxi introduced them, "This is President Ma."

Chen Buhui clasped Ma Huateng's hand tightly, "President Ma, I've long admired your reputation."

Ma Huateng responded with composure, "Master Chen, you flatter me."

He then introduced Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, all exchanging pleasantries.

Chen Buhui also introduced his two sons to the quartet led by Xu Yang.

Liu Qiangxi apologized, "Master Chen, we encountered a traffic accident on our way here, which delayed us for over half an hour. Otherwise, we wouldn't have arrived so late."

Chen Buhui didn't mind at all, "Haha, no worries at all. I'm even more familiar with the traffic conditions in New City; congestion is perfectly normal."

Liu Qiangxi said, "I'm glad you understand, Master Chen."

Chen Buhui continued, "President Liu, I've reserved a spot at the most famous Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, Jǜdé Pavilion. Let's go straight for a meal, shall we? Jǜdé Pavilion was established here during the Guangxu era of the Qing dynasty and has a history of over a hundred years.

In the Beautiful Country, the Chinese cuisine at Jǜdé Pavilion is the most authentic, almost indistinguishable from what you'd find back home."

Liu Qiangxi replied, "However you wish to arrange it, Master Chen, we are guests who will follow the host's lead."

Xu Yang and the other two naturally felt the same.

The group made their way grandly towards Jǜdé Pavilion.

Jǜdé Pavilion was not far from the entrance to Chinatown.

Chen Buhui had booked the entire third floor of Jǜdé Pavilion.

There were two tables there.

One table was for the key members of Zhongyi Hall and the bodyguards of Liu Qiangxi and the others to sit together.

The other table was for Chen Buhui, his sons, and the party of four led by Xu Yang to sit together.

They took their seats accordingly.

Chen Buhui began, "The head chef at Jǜdé Pavilion is a top-tier Chinese chef named Liang Cong. Chef Liang was recently invited by officials of the Beautiful Country to cook for world leaders at the New Gold Mountain APEC summit, in an effort to cater to the preferences of high officials from Huaxia Country. He received unanimous praise. Chef Liang's skills are truly impeccable.

I am friends with Chef Liang. Today, all the dishes will be personally prepared by him, all his specialties."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang and the others were all visibly impressed.

This indicated that Chef Liang truly had skills.

They had naturally seen the news about the APEC summit not long ago.

Before that summit, Huaxia Country and leaders of the Beautiful Country had also held talks that caught the world's attention.

Liu Qiangxi said, "Then we eagerly await the feast."

Chen Buhui immediately instructed the waiter, "Tell Chef Liang to start serving the dishes."

Top-tier dishes can't be prepared in advance.

They're best enjoyed as soon as they're cooked.

Otherwise, the flavor changes over time.

So Chef Liang had prepared the ingredients in advance, waiting for Chen Buhui's signal to start cooking.

Chen Buhui held the third rank in the Hung Mun society and wielded great power in Chinatown.

Even a chef like Liang Cong, who had cooked for world leaders, had to obey Chen Buhui upon returning to Chinatown.

Furthermore, today he was serving Liu Qiangxi and company, whose business could determine whether Chen Buhui could secure a lucrative agency deal.

If anything went wrong, Chef Liang would surely face unpleasant consequences.

Ultimately, Liang Cong was just a chef; no matter how good his food was or how many national leaders he had served, he couldn't defy a figure like Chen Buhui.

Of course, the table for the bodyguards and the key members of Zhongyi Hall did not enjoy this privilege—they had to settle for dishes prepared by other chefs.

Not only were the dishes different, but the flavors also varied significantly.

Such is the nature of class distinctions—there's nothing more to say about it.

Soon, the dishes were served.

The first course.

"Poached cabbage," Chen Buhui pointed to the poached cabbage served by the waiter and said, "President Liu, President Xu, President Ma, Young Master Wang, don't think this poached cabbage is simple, actually it's the hardest to make. To boil the fresh flavor of the cabbage with clear water is something not every chef can do. This is Chef Liang's signature dish. Please, have a taste."

"Sure."

Xu Yang and the other three didn't stand on ceremony and promptly picked up their chopsticks, taking a piece of cabbage and placing it in their mouths.

Chen Buhui asked, "How is it?"

Liu Qiangxi nodded and praised, "I have never tasted such delicious poached cabbage. This isn't just comparable to domestic flavors; it's even better than what's available in our country. At least, I've never had poached cabbage this tasty back home."

Ma Huateng nodded and said, "Same for me. When it comes to food, I don't deliberately seek out the best, but I've never had poached cabbage this good."

Xu Yang said, "Me neither, this is the best cabbage I've ever had."

Wang Xiaocong, however, said, "Everyone knows I'm not great at doing business. There was a time I focused on gourmet food. In a small eatery in a small alley of the capital, I had cabbage of a similar flavor. It was truly exceptional, almost indistinguishable from this one."

Chen Buhui laughed heartily, "In Huaxia, the real masters are among the people; the great chefs are among the people. I'm not surprised at that. Being able to say they are virtually the same is already an ultimate compliment."

After Xu Yang and his party had tried it, Chen Buhui and his two sons also took a piece of cabbage to taste.

The second course came.

"Hand-torn chicken," Introduced Chen Buhui, "This dish was specially prepared by Chef Liang. The concept of hand-torn chicken in the Beautiful Country originated from here, but other places aren't authentic and are modified to suit the Beautiful Country's taste. Only Liang Cong's hand-torn chicken is the most authentic."

Xu Yang and his group each tasted a piece of the chicken, full of praise.

"Delicious!"

"It's really so tasty!"

"With such a place, your life in the Beautiful Country is really great, Host Chen!"

"I didn't expect to find hand-torn chicken in the Beautiful Country that's even tastier than in Huaxia!"

…

The dishes kept coming.

"Lion's head!"

"Kung Pao chicken!"

"Steamed fish!"

"Fish-flavored shredded pork!"

"Mapo tofu!"

Each dish was an incredibly authentic renowned dish from Huaxia.

With each new dish, Chen Buhui introduced its characteristics to Xu Yang and his friends.

Xu Yang and his group were glowing with pleasure as they ate.

Gourmet food is something no one can refuse.

People like Xu Yang and his friends didn't deliberately seek it out.

But before gourmet food, they couldn't resist the temptation either. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

On the dinner table, a total of 88 dishes were served.

Almost like a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast.

Each dish was a feast for the senses in every aspect.

Xu Yang and his friends were fortunate to enjoy so many famous dishes, all thanks to Chen Buhui's grace.

Keep in mind that Chef Liang doesn't cook casually these days.

He only does so for VIPs who book in advance.

If Xu Yang and his companions had just heard about this place's famous dishes and showed up without an appointment, they wouldn't have been able to taste the dishes personally made by Chef Liang.

It could be said that now, those who can taste Chef Liang's personal cooking are either high-ranking government officials or top-tier wealthy individuals.

In short, only the rich or the noble.

Even Chen Buhui's two sons had never eaten so many of Chef Liang's dishes in one sitting before.

They might rely on their father's prestige to ask for a few dishes from Chef Liang, but they definitely couldn't get him to prepare so many.

Even Chen Buhui himself was tasting so many dishes at once for the first time.

From this perspective, it could be said that Chen Buhui made every effort to host Xu Yang and his companions.
