My Plot Hole System - Chapter 10

Mr. Statham slowly but steadily took a bite and was immediately silent for a few seconds, the Feng siblings wanted to ask him what’s wrong but before they could, the gentleman continued eating like it was his last day and didn’t stop at all. He seems to have lost his previous aura.

The siblings looked at each other and picked up their fork to start eating. Their situation was just the same, the Feng sister’s face flushed red and ate like a glutton while the Feng brother’s food was already completed.

“Delicious.”

“God-Like.”

“Seconds?”

All three of their voices came out simultaneously, they looked at each other and felt flustered. The awkward silence was broken by Mr. Statham.

“This Chef, can I meet him?” he asked.

“Yes, Manager; How come I never knew that Old Mao could make such great International food?” Sister Feng asked.

The Manager shook his head and started to explain.

“It was not Old Mao, it’s a new Chef that just joined today.”

“Then invite the senior here, we would like to thank him for this wonderful meal.” Brother Feng added.

“That.. Young Master Feng, it’s not senior, he is just as old as our Young Miss. He just completed the exams and while in vacation, he said he will work here for a week or two.” The Manager explained.

Mr. Statham could not understand Mandarin, so he could only look at their faces in confusion. On the other side, the Feng siblings shuddered and their eyes showed incredulity and shock. He was so young and his accomplishments in the Culinary world were already this extraordinary, then when he grows up what kind of existence will he be?

The same question flashed past their minds. This is a person to make acquaintance with, a wonderful opportunity they thought.

“Ahem, then please call him here.” Brother Feng took the lead and said.

Soon the Manager arrived at their tables again, but only this time there was a towering figure behind him, in front of him the manager looked really small. The manager was not short but Long Tian was really tall.

The three at the table looked at Long Tian with curious eyes. The Manager then introduced him,

“This is Long Tian, our new Chef.”

Mr. Statham’s eyes brightened, he stood up and shook Long Tian’s hand. He was in a little daze when he stood up, because Mr. Statham himself was tall being 6 feet and 2 inches, but this fellow in front of him was even taller than him. Being from a Military background he sense a very strong aura from Long Tian, even stronger than his.

Then he suddenly reminisced the taste of Fish ‘n’ Chips and got excited and started to speak in his very British accent.

“Mr. Long, thank you for that wonderful food. It took me back to my younger days when I used to go fishing with my grandpa. I’m really grateful to you.”

Miss Feng thought that Long Tian did not understand and was just about to translate Statham’s words, but before she opened her mouth her pupils dilated.

“I don’t deserve the praise, I am happy that my food could bring you such happiness.” Long Tian said in the very same British Accent, those who didn’t see him would probably think he was a Country B native.

Mr. Statham’s mouth curved into a bright smile as he said,

“Mr. Long, are you half British or were you born in Country B?”

“Neither, I was born and raised here although I did visit Country B when I was younger.” Long Tian explained.

Mr. Statham was shocked, but this was still a very pleasant surprise for him. As the saying goes, ‘Speak to the man in a language he understands, it goes through his head. But speak to the man in his own language, it goes through his heart.’

Long Tian and Mr. Statham kept chatting like bosom buddies while the Manager and Feng Siblings were still in a daze. No matter how arrogant they were, they still felt somewhat inferior to this boy in front of them. The accent they were trying to hard to understand was so easily spoken by him.

The Feng siblings were given a very high education since young, so it’s not that they can’t speak or understand English, in fact it was in a whole another league compared to their peers, but this, this scene just crushed their arrogance and pride into dust.

“Well, Mr. Long here is my card, you can contact me anytime when you are in Country B. I may not the Royal Family but my words still have weight there.” Mr. Statham took out his personal card and gave it to him.

The Card immediately made Long Tian’s heart jump out. This man was Ronald Statham, the C.E.O of Statham Motors, which was a giant in the automobile industries. He took the card without extra formalities.

“Oh, Mr. and Ms. Feng you may consider the deal sealed. Thank you for your hospitality, I have a flight to catch. Hope you visit me in Country B sometime.” With those words, the English Gentleman left the Pavilion.

The Feng siblings were so happy that they wanted to scream out joy. It was even more for Ms. Feng, it was the first task her father asked her to accomplish and she did it without any hiccups, she felt like kissing Long Tian.

“To think that a 200Million Pound deal would be granted because of a 1000RMB dish…” She muttered.

This was certainly a very pleasant surprise.
