Yuan Zhou said that quite naturally. The expression on his face was also very normal and he didn't appear to be angry, either.     

The banquet hall wasn't very spacious, thus the seats for resting weren't arranged very far from the chefs. Though not everyone could hear the comments about themselves, the remark about the roasted eels could be heard by all.     

Because the position where he stood was exactly facing those seats.     

When Yuan Zhou brought that out, Zhong Lili became stupefied immediately. She looked towards Yuan Zhou subconsciously with a look of suspicion.     

Even the corner of the mouth of Li Minghui, who had just spoken with Chairman Masheng cheerfully and humorously just now, twitched without him realizing it.     

"This guy causes chaos even better than Liu Tong." Li Minghui sighed inwardly.     

"I've never expected someone to be more sharp-tongued than me." It was rare for Liu Tong to agree with Yuan Zhou.     

Everyone knew that it was always Liu Tong who raised an objection during normal times, but Yuan Zhou was tougher than him. By saying that, Yuan Zhou simply meant that everything about the dish tasted bad and there was nothing good.     

That really caused disorder among the people on site.     

"Good. He really dares to say that?" The grey-haired middle-aged man looked at Yuan Zhou with an interested look.     

"It seems that this is the highest level of speech. A usually silent man, yet, once he opens his mouth, he amazes everybody. A few words by him can attract more people's attention than mine." Only then did Wu Jun feel the loving care that Yuan Zhou offered him these few days.     

After all, Yuan Zhou never talked in such a manner to him.     

"I don't know why, but I feel a little touched by him." Wu Jun touched his heart and an inexplicable feeling of being touched arose spontaneously.     

"Haha. Young people are really sharp-tongued." Chairman Masheng smiled faintly and didn't seem to care about that.     

Nevertheless, the chef that cooked the eels couldn't help bowing to Yuan Zhou first and straightening himself and then said.     

"I'm sorry for letting you down. Please do tell me which aspect isn't good enough." The name of this chef was Dashi Xiujie. The number of years he worked as a chef was 20, but he was no more than 38 years old. As he was in the prime of life, he naturally didn't lack an air of arrogance or a temper.     

"Yeah, yeah, right. If you have any opinions, please specify it in detail." Chengtian Yilang also chimed in at the side.     

Oh, right. The chef Dashi Xiujie spoke Japanese just now and Zhong Lili translated it to Yuan Zhou.     

After all, Yuan Zhou couldn't speak Japanese. He could neither understand nor speak it.     

"No. This is the home court of your honorable country. For the sake of respect, I don't want to say it out." Yuan Zhou said earnestly with a serious manner.     

Once he said that, everyone on site choked instantly, including all the Chinese chefs.     

Respect?     

It really sounded weird to say that. If one respected somebody and didn't want to say anything, why did he say nothing tasted good? Judging from Yuan Zhou's manner, however, he didn't seem to be picking a quarrel.     

After all, Yuan Zhou said that based on what he thought. Therefore, he said that in a natural tone.     

"Xiujie, the exchange of pointers meeting hasn't ended. You have to think carefully about this gentleman's opinions and can't rely on the specific direction that others point out." It was the experienced and knowledgeable Chairman Masheng who said that at that moment.     

He said to Dashi Xiujie straightforwardly with a slightly stern tone.     

"Thank you for your opinion." Immediately, Dashi Ziujie apologized to Chairman Masheng and then thanked Yuan Zhou.     

"You are welcome." Yuan Zhou shook his head.     

"Sir, you are so young and you can find out Xiujie's shortcomings just by taking a look at the dish. You are really impressive." Chairman Masheng turned to praise Yuan Zhou.     

"You are too courteous. But Mr. Yuan is a gifted chef that even Chairman Zhou places high hopes on. His capabilities are equally matched with Master Chu Xiao's." Li Minghui was quite shrewd. Instantly, he started to talk about Yuan Zhou's capabilities.     

After all, it was understandable for Yuan Zhou to bring out those words if he had those kinds of capabilities.     

Just as expected, Chairman Masheng became curious.     

At the other side, Zhong Lili asked Yuan Zhou with puzzlement, "Mr. Yuan, why did you say so?"     

"Wu Jun passed your words to me that we must be low-profile and need to shorten our words." Yuan Zhou instantly brought up Wu Jun indifferently.     

Though Wu Jun didn't specially mention that he would help Zhong Lili to pass her words to Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou figured that out from the fact that Wu Jun came to find him at such a timely manner and told him so many detailed matters that he needed to pay attention too.     

"Wu Jun! Mr. Wu, please tell me how you passed my message." Compared to Yuan Zhou who was cold in temperament but handsome in the appearance, the talkative and funny Wu Jun naturally became the person whom Zhong Lili believed to be the culprit.     

On hearing that at the side, Wu Jun immediately became dumbfounded. He must have been framed by others and it seemed that he was even unable to shake off the suspicion.     

Probably, presumably or maybe, he had truly conveyed the message like that.     

"Can I say that I am being treated unjustly now?" Wu Jun looked at the indignant manner of Zhong Lili and sighed in his heart.     

"Ahem ahem ahem. I'm going for another taste now. Actually, I haven't finished it." At last, Wu Jun said that and escaped.     

Everything was going smoothly besides the only variable, Yuan Zhou, during the meeting. The Chinese chefs gave some of their opinions while Liu Tong was responsible for finding faults.     

Since Yuan Zhou had set a bad example, Li Minghui specially warned Liu Tong not to overact. After all, they were not here to quarrel.     

In the evening, Yuan Zhou didn't dine together with others, as usual. Wu Jun took him to the Izakaya that he was most interested in.     

It was the one that Sun Ming had recommended to him and wasn't open yesterday. They were very lucky this time. The Izakaya was open and many customers constantly entered and left.     

"This Izakaya is well-known for its horse meat. Do you want to try it? I don't think horse meat is delicious. You are just hunting for novelty." Wu Jun mumbled.     

"Well, I heard their Roasted Salmon is also not bad." Yuan Zhou lifted up the curtain and entered the door straightforwardly.     

"Alright. Do you want to drink today? Speaking of which, didn't you say you never drink? You said it would affect your sense of taste. Then do you want to drink it today?" Wu Jun spoke endlessly, but he didn't walk slowly. Right after Yuan Zhou, he entered the Izakaya.     

The pub was very small and it was the most common style of Japanese Izakaya. There was a long bar and several small tables, the kind for two people. Several waiters were busy working inside.     

Seeing somebody enter the restaurant, a waiter greeted them immediately, "Welcome."     

"Order dishes." Instead of answering Wu Jun, Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.     

In Yuan Zhou's eyes, this guy behaved as if he couldn't control his mouth. Therefore, he didn't speak much with him in most cases.     

"Okay, alright. What do you want to eat? I will order it." Wu Jun appeared to be helpless and thus said.     

"One serving of first-class Roasted Salmon, one serving of Horse Meat Sashimi and Horse Oil Sashimi as well as a bowl of white plain rice." Yuan Zhou ordered four dishes.     

"Okay, got it. Let me go to order the dishes. No liquor?" Wu Jun pointed at the rows of liquor on the rack at the opposite side and asked indecently.     

"No need. That's all." Yuan Zhou refused flatly.     

"Alright." Wu Jun shrugged helplessly. Then he turned to the waitresses and began to order dishes with the help of his hands.     

The most unusual thing was that the waitress surprisingly understood him.     

"Though he a destructive power five times higher than Wu Hai, he's actually useful in some aspects." Yuan Zhou stroked the forehead and said inwardly.     

After they ordered the dish, Yuan Zhou and Wu Jun just got seated on the chairs and began to wait for the dishes.     

"Wow. This Horse Oil Sashimi looks so thin. It definitely tastes good." Suddenly, some Chinese words came from the side.     

In the surroundings full of Japanese, these few words were quite abrupt.     

Thus, Yuan Zhou's attention was diverted to the people subconsciously.     

"This Horse Meat Sashimi is also very nice. Every slice was arranged neatly on the ice cubes. It feels like they have been done with a clean cut, thus they appear so neat and beautiful." Another female voice sounded right after that.     

"Exactly. The knife skills used on this sashimi is far better than that of our country." Another male voice sounded with a tone of admiration.     

On hearing the last sentence, Yuan Zhou knitted his brows subconsciously.
