Hearing that a fly was found in the food at Yong Sheng Restaurant, the customers who were enjoying their meal all felt uncomfortable.

Everyone stopped with their chopsticks in hand and turned their gazes toward the banquet table of Mr. Wu.

At that moment, the hall manager ran over in a panic, "Sir, what's wrong?"

The thug, while picking his teeth, coldly said, "What do you think is floating in that soup?"

The waiter bent down, looked into the soup, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Indeed, there was a dead fly floating in the soup.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'll change it for a new bowl right away," the hall manager hastily apologized.

"Change it, so you're planning to disgust me with another bowl of fly soup?" the thug relentlessly said.

At this moment, another thug suddenly stirred with his chopsticks and pointed at the Kung Pao shrimp, "Damn, what's this?"

He picked up the golden-browned thing and couldn't help but gag, "Damn! It's actually a cockroach."

Having just found a fly was disgusting enough, and now a cockroach had been found as well.

The hall manager frowned, "Sir, that's impossible, our restaurant is very clean, there are absolutely no cockroaches."

"What do you mean by that? Are you saying I put this cockroach in there?" The thug stood up, furiously shaking the cockroach on his chopsticks at the other customers in the hall.

Thinking about the possibility of roaches in the food they had just eaten, the appetites of these customers vanished immediately.

Mr. Wu's face was grim, and he slammed his hand on the table, "Get your boss out here."

By then, Li Dafu had already run over in a panic, "Mr. Wu, what's the matter?"

Mr. Wu narrowed his eyes and pointed at the fly in the soup and the golden cockroach, "Mr. Li, can you explain to me what this is all about?"

Li Dafu looked at the fly in the soup and the cockroach in the dish and his face turned pale. He had personally prepared those dishes, and there couldn't possibly be flies or cockroaches in them, but what was going on?

Recalling that Mr. Wu was dining in the hall today and had ordered so much food, he shivered inside, "Could it be that Mr. Wu is here to cause trouble?"

He had heard about the brawl yesterday, though he had initiated it, he had already paid Da Fei a benefit fee, and moreover, he was always very polite to Mr. Wu, which ordinarily wouldn't warrant such a reaction.

Li Dafu suddenly remembered Lin Chen's mysterious smile that morning. Could it be that guy playing tricks?

"Mr. Wu, please don't be angry. I'll replace these two dishes for you, and on top of that, all the dishes will be discounted further by 20% on top of the original half-price. What do you think?"

Even though he knew it was a trap, Li Dafu didn't dare to offend Mr. Wu, so he said with a forced smile on his face.

"Replace them? You think I dare eat your food? Who knows if there will be rats or bugs in them next."

Hearing Li Dafu's explanation made Mr. Wu burst into rage, and he even threw the soup with the fly in it onto Li Dafu.

Li Dafu was both angry and annoyed, but he dared not lash out. He knew Mr. Wu and his people were unreasonable, and if things went wrong, they could smash his restaurant today.

Wiping the soup off himself, Li Dafu, with a smile, said, "Mr. Wu, calm down please. This meal is on the house, and how about I offer you ten thousand yuan compensation?"

"Today, you've ruined my good mood with this garbage banquet. Ten thousand, do you think I'm a beggar?" Mr. Wu furiously erupted, looking like he was about to explode.

At this point, the guests at other tables had already begun to talk.

"This is utterly disgusting, let's check our own dishes for flies or cockroaches or anything."

"I'll never eat here again, what a so-called five-star chef. He can't even maintain basic cleanliness."

"I can't stomach it anymore, just thinking of roaches crawling in the pot makes me nauseous..."

Listening to the surrounding chatter, Li Dafu's expression grew uglier by the moment. Reputation is everything in the restaurant business, and once it is tainted, even delicious food can hardly win back customers.

He knew this scourge had to go or his restaurant would truly be doomed. Li Dafu almost begged, "Master, would 100,000 yuan make up for it?"

Only then did Master reluctantly nod, speaking with a heavy heart, "Let it go. Since you've admitted your mistake, I'll forgive you this time. In the future, don't just think about making dirty money, pay attention to the sanitary conditions too. No matter how tasty the food is, who could eat it with flies and cockroaches around?"

At this moment, Li Dafu felt so angry he almost cursed out loud. These flies and cockroaches were obviously placed by you, how was he supposed to manage that?

Although he was furious inside, he responded, "Master is right, we will definitely pay attention in the future."

At that moment, the waiter had already transferred the money to Master's card. Master then stood up, "Fine, I won't eat at your place anymore. It's too disgusting. I heard there is a new restaurant across the street, the Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine. It's supposed to be good. Let's go there."

Saying this, his group got up and headed straight to the Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine across the street.

"It was indeed that little scoundrel." After hearing Master's free advertisement for Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine, Li Dafu finally confirmed that Lin Chen was behind it.

"We're not eating, the check please."

"We're not eating either, it's too disgusting."

...

Seeing Li Dafu apologizing and compensating, it almost confirmed the fact that there were flies and cockroaches in the restaurant's food.

No sooner had Master's group left than a wave of people asking to settle their bills surged in the restaurant.

"Everyone, please let me explain..." Li Dafu, red-faced, tried to explain, but the customers were having none of it.

"What explanation? With cockroaches and flies in the food, how can anyone eat? Check, please, it's really bad luck."

Zhao Gang was sitting at a chair by the entrance, worrying. Suddenly he noticed people streaming out of the Yue Sheng Restaurant across the street, and many were heading directly into Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine.

"What's going on?" Zhao Gang was stunned.

"Waiter, what are you dazing about? Order your food." Master entered the restaurant with his gang, laughing heartily.

"Okay, okay, Lin Wen, our customers are here, go attend to them." Zhao Gang called out cheerfully.

Master glanced at Lin Chen and made an OK gesture.

Lin Chen nodded smilingly, having already seen the crowd pouring out of the Yue Sheng Restaurant and known his plan had succeeded.

Many people, unsatisfied by not having had enough food, rushed directly to Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine after hearing Master's advertisement.

Suddenly, the situation reversed dramatically—the once bustling Yue Sheng Restaurant turned eerily quiet, while Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine was filled to capacity.

Li Dafu gazed at his messy hall, then across at the lively Yue Lai Fancy Cuisine and collapsed onto a chair.

"Lin Chen, it's not over between us!" Li Dafu declared, angrily shattering the dishes and bowls in front of him.

Meanwhile, the hated Lin Chen entered the kitchen, donned an apron, took a deep breath, and readied himself to cook.

From then on, a culinary master was born in this humble restaurant.
