Chapter 45 of "My Super Beautiful Lady Boss" opens with dynamic events: âLet him go,â Wu waved a hand, signaling his men.His tone was weak, but his... Read on for more!
âLet him go,â Wu waved a hand, signaling his men.
His tone was weak, but his face was filled with reluctant frustration and a faint hint of hatred.
All four bodyguards had been following Wu for years and had fought many tough battles.
The one standing in the middle was known as âVulture,â a notoriously ruthless figure in Qingshan City.
Mentioning his name would change the color of many faces.
Vulture said nothing, his already harsh features grew fiercer, âBoss, are we really letting him go?â
âOh, please,â Su Xuan replied before Wu could respond, detecting the killing intent in Vultureâs eyes, and said disdainfully, âYou think you can stop me?â
âYouâre too arrogant,â said Vulture.
His arm suddenly exerted strengthâa normal person could not withstand such a blow; their shoulder bones would definitely shatter.
Su Xuan snorted coldly, âLet me show you what being arrogant really means!â
The attack speed of Xingyi Fist was not something these bodyguards could understand. SŃarch* The NĂ´velĆire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
This time, they truly experienced genuine Kung Fu.
It seemed as though a force had gathered on his shoulder, the formidable power released made Vultureâs fingers tremble.
At the moment Vulture threw a punch, Su Xuanâs right elbow countered upward, blocking Vultureâs attack.
With the posture of âusing four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds,â his elbow struck with lightning speed, hitting Vultureâs jaw and sending fresh blood spraying.
Su Xuan, moving back like a shifting shadow, seized Vultureâs right armâdisaster struck.
âMove away!â Su Xuan shouted at the other three bodyguards, who stood there dumfounded, as he swung his left hand towards the wall, causing Vultureâs body to rise and fly horizontally through the air.
Vultureâs face was deathly pale, but fortunately, his skills were exceptional, and he quickly grabbed Su Xuanâs shoulder, his right fist aiming for Su Xuanâs abdomen.
âToo slow.â Su Xuan said indifferently, without blinking.
His left leg swiftly lifted, his knee hitting Vultureâs fist with a crisp, painful sound.
Enduring the severe pain, Vulture controlled his body and, in the instant he touched the ground, his legs clamped around Su Xuanâs right leg, attempting a deadly strike.
Using force to fight, the highest realm of Xingyi Fist, was to win by using no specific technique.
Su Xuanâs right leg remained unmoved, his body smoothly shifted, and his hands locked onto Vultureâs shoulder blades and fiercely threw him backwards.
Vulture flew out and hit a column, his eyes bloodshot.
âLife is precious, donât go looking for trouble in the future.â Looking at Vulture lying on the ground with a fierce expression, Su Xuan spat disdainfully, leaving only an elegant silhouette for Wu.
Having refused Wuâs proposition, Su Xuan felt no regret or remorse whatsoever, holding firm to a belief: âdifferent paths do not converge.â This was also a phrase the Military God often admonished him with before he returned to Qingshan City.
Back at the company, Chen Wanqing picked up the iPhone on her desk, her face full of anxiety as she dialed Su Xuanâs number.
As soon as the call connected, she asked impatiently, âWhere are you?!â
âMissing me already?â Su Xuan responded nonchalantly, unaware of the urgency in Chen Wanqingâs tone, and jokingly said.
Chen Wanqing replied angrily, âStop fooling around and come to my office right now!
As fast as you can!â
âAlright,â Su Xuan laughed, âIâll sprout wings and fly over!â
After walking some distance, he finally hailed a cab.
Su Xuan thought to himself and couldnât help but laugh: Whatâs up with Chen Wanqing, canât she bear a day without seeing me?
Ha ha.
Chen Wanqing waited in her office, dressed as the usual corporate president in a black suit paired with a white shirt.
Today, she had deliberately worn a pair of black-framed glasses, looking even more stunningly cold and resembling a figure from a Japanese movie in a teacherâs uniform.
Hopping out of the cab, Su Xuan jogged over to Chen Wanqing, pretending to be out of breath in a hurry, and looked up to ask, âWhatâs the matter?
Youâve tired me out.â
âThereâs a very important dinner tonight, hosting leaders from a company thatâs collaborating with our group,â Chen Wanqing said with a hint of difficulty in her eyes, hesitatingly.
It took Su Xuan a moment to catch on, puzzled, âThat doesnât seem to have anything to do with me.
Did you call me here to accompany you to the dinner?â
âNo,â Chen Wanqing hurriedly explained, âTheir visit this time has another important purposeâthey want to evaluate the dining quality at Ming Yue Building.â
âOh.â Su Xuanâs indifferent reply came off as if the matter didnât concern him at all.
Chen Wanqing frowned slightly and said coldly, âI want to leave a good impression on the leaders of the collaborating company.
Can you cook and help me prepare a few creative dishes?
All the chefs can assist you!â
âThis thing,â Su Xuan plopped down on the couch, crossing his legs and showed no sign of worry.
âAre you going to help or not?!â Time was of the essence, and with only eight or nine hours left until the evening banquet, she knew Su Xuanâs skills; with his help, the partners would definitely be surprised.
âHelp!â Su Xuan sighed, âAfter all, you are my wife.
When the wife has trouble, I must help!â
Used to Su Xuanâs frivolous tone, Chen Wanqing just glared at him fiercely without arguing and walked toward the door with a document in hand, âFollow me, letâs go now.â
Upon arriving at the banquet hall of the Bright Moon Building and entering the vast kitchen, where hundreds of chefs, assistants, and miscellaneous staff were busy at work, a few of them greeted Chen Wanqing when they saw her.
âPresident Chen, good day!â
âPresident Chen,â a well-proportioned man in his thirties dressed in a white work uniform and wearing a tall white chefâs hat, took off his hat and approached.
Chen Wanqing pointed at Su Xuan and then said to the man, âMaster Qin, for tonightâs dinner at Hongyue Hall, consult with him about the menu and dishes, itâs best to listen to him.â
Master Qin glanced at Su Xuan with surprise evident in his eyes, thinking: Who is this guy?
Why should I listen to him?
Chen Wanqing commanded in an authoritative tone, âTonight is a special case.
Iâve seen the menu you reported yesterday, and I am not satisfied.
It lacks innovation.
This is Mr.
Su; he is highly skilled in cooking.
Everyone here should follow his lead today.â
Upon hearing this, Master Qin, startled, dared not disobey his bossâs orders and replied with a strained smile, âOkay, I will follow President Chenâs arrangements.â
Su Xuan briefly reminisced that the last time he came here, he hadnât seen this chef.
No surprise there, considering the vast chain of restaurants under Bright Moon Building, which employed over fifty chefs, each day bringing different chefs on shift.
Having other matters to attend to, Chen Wanqing quickly said to Su Xuan, âYou communicate with Master Qin.
I have to go.
You donât need to report back the menu to me, just make the decisions yourself.â
Suddenly feeling âgreat power in his hands,â and a slight thrill, Su Xuan sensed that Chen Wanqing was gradually increasing her trust in him; otherwise, she wouldnât have entrusted such an important banquet to him.
After changing into a fitted uniform in the changing room, Su Xuan went to the hall, gathered most of the chefs around, briefly communicated with Master Qin, and then started delegating tasks.
With a clear plan in mind, after reviewing the original menu, he discarded seven dishes and conceived seven new ones, all his âsignature masterpiecesâ learned while following the Military God, which were generally unseen in restaurants.
âLettuce Baked Salted Lobster, Steamed Marinated Sea CucumberâŚâ he listed seven innovative dishes.
With a serious expression, Su Xuan said, âMaster Qin, Iâll put together a list of ingredients, please help me prepare them as soon as possible.â
Master Qin was dumbfounded, thinking sulkily: Are you bluffing me?
As a chef for over a decade, Iâve never heard of these dishes!
Are they made-up?
What will you do if they canât be prepared, and how will you explain to President Chen?
A short while later, Wu Zhaoxiong entered the kitchen, his face turned sour upon seeing the last person he wanted to seeâSu Xuan.
Just as Su Xuan put down his spoon and turned around, he saw Chef Wu and thought darkly: Haha, itâs you again, you old fool.
âIt really is a small worldâŚâ Su Xuan sneered as he approached Chef Wu.
Already having issues with Su Xuan over a competition slot in the Cooking God competition, Chef Wu thought Su Xuan was here to cause trouble.
Chef Wu snapped fiercely, âWho allowed you in here?!
This is not your place, get out!â
âJust because you say get out, I should get out?
Who do you think you are, the Emperor himself?â Su Xuan sneered back.
Already looking down on Su Xuan, Master Qin saw an opportunity now that Chef Wu was here.
He whispered into Chef Wuâs ear, telling him about Chen Wanqingâs earlier visit.
âWhat?!
President Chen let this kid take charge?!â Chef Wu was shocked, feeling his position was being blatantly challenged.
âThatâs right!
Today Iâm going to make you jobless!
Pack up and scram!â Su Xuan said cheerfully.
