After three years of dormancy, the Gourmet Tyrant was born.

"I really……"

Lu Xuanyu patted her shoulder and reminded her:

"If you want to express your feelings, wait until you get through this difficult time."

"Tell the driver how to get to Hojo Building in a bit."

"Everyone, pack your things, let's get ready to go!"

The women all said in unison:

"Okay, let's go!!"

"Okay, let's go!!"

"Okay, let's go!!"

"...".

In the afternoon, at the Yokohama Chinese Restaurant, Kitajo Building.

A middle-aged man dressed in business attire waited anxiously at the restaurant entrance.

Only after seeing a row of luxury cars parked in front of the gate did he stop and begin to examine the newcomers.

"Miyako? What are you doing on this car?"

Are these all... your classmates?

The man rushed over to greet Hojo Miyoko as soon as she got off the bus.

He was none other than Hojo Kazuya, the father of Hojo Miyoko and the owner of Hojo-ro.

From Hojo Kazuya's expression, it was clear just how anxious he was.

On the way here, Lu Xuanyu and Hojo Miyoko were in the same car.

I heard a lot about my father, Hojo Kazuya.

Kazuya Hojo grew up in China and was deeply influenced by Chinese cuisine.

Hojo-ro was founded in order to recreate the delicious taste of his childhood.

Even at high prices, we must hire the chefs who are most skilled in Chinese cuisine.

I hope my daughter will be successful and make breakthroughs in Chinese cuisine.

Therefore, during his childhood, Hojo Kazuya was quite demanding of Hojo Miyoko.

On the contrary, things have eased up a bit as I've grown up.

This was also because Hojo Kazuya gradually discovered.

There's no need for me to set any standards for myself; my daughter will be even more demanding of herself than I imagine.

"Father, I'm back."

“They are all my classmates, and they came to help me get through this difficult time.”

"I hope my father can give me a chance to try."

Hojo Miyoko couldn't wait to express her thoughts first.

She was afraid that if she hesitated for too long, she wouldn't dare to express her thoughts and feelings later.

"To help you get through this difficult time?"

What would you like to try?

"I really shouldn't have agreed to try making changes to the recipe, that's why this crisis has happened."

"You're all still students. When it comes to things in society, you should listen to your father, okay?"

"Miyako, stop fooling around."

Hojo Kazuya patted his daughter's arm, his tone almost pleading.

Hojo-ro was his life's work, so how could he not be worried when he saw the conflict between his daughter and the head chef?

"Hello, Mr. Hojo Kazuya!"

"I am a student of Totsuki Academy, and my name is Lu Xuanyu!"

"I wonder if Miyoko has ever mentioned me at home."

"I think I might be able to help with this."

"Could you please give me a little time and listen to me say a few words?"

Facing Hojo Miyoko's father, Lu Xuanyu spoke politely and respectfully, displaying the demeanor of a junior.

She showed absolutely no arrogance, simply explaining the issue and hoping her father would listen carefully.

"Lu Xuanyu?"

"Is it Lu Xuanyu, one of the Ten Outstanding Talents that I know?"

"The major shareholder of Far Moon Resort?"

Hojo Kazuya didn't know much about Lu Xuanyu.

However, Hojo Kazuya had heard of the youngest member of the Elite Ten Council and the major shareholder of Totsuki Resort.

“That’s right, Mr. Hojo, you’re not mistaken, it’s me.”

"I chatted with Miyoko a bit on the way here and learned about the situation in the store."

"My company also supplies ingredients to Hojo-ro. Honshu Fisheries and Mito Meat Products are also my suppliers."

“I am the one who actually carried out the work. Speaking of which, I have quite a history with Hojo Ryo.”

Lu Xuanyu extended his hand and shook hands with Hojo Kazuya.

This seemingly unrelated relationship is something only Lu Xuanyu could conceive of and articulate.

His idea was very simple and direct.

When dealing with people in society, trying to reason with them or appeal to their personal feelings is completely pointless.

Age is not the key factor if you want others to respect you.

The key is that you have your own trump card, a trump card that makes others look at you differently.

This is the meaning of being eager to introduce oneself before others even ask.

After listening to what Lu Xuanyu said, Hojo Kazuya looked at his daughter, Hojo Miyoko, with a surprised expression.

Previously, I had only heard my daughter mention that he was a shareholder of the Far Moon Resort.

His other identities have never been directly stated, and this is definitely the first time Hojo Kazuya has heard of them.

Hojo Miyoko nodded, confirming Lu Xuanyu's identity.

"Wow, so young and promising! Young Mr. Lu is truly young and promising!"

"Miyoko is lucky to have a classmate like you."

"If there's anything she doesn't do well at Totsuki Academy in the future, we'll need Mr. Lu's help."

Hojo Kazuya's words were exactly what Lu Xuanyu wanted to hear.

I used to think that having so many industries and making endless money might not be very meaningful.

It seems that in the real world, having some confidence and strength is essential to getting things done.

Without any real business to back it up, he just claims to be a genius chef.

The persuasive power of words alone is far from sufficient.

"It's only right to help; Miyoko is a very good friend of mine."

“Mr. Hojo Kazuya, I’ve heard her talk about her experience at the restaurant.”

"I've come up with a solution and I'd like to discuss it with you."

"Mr. Hojo, you decide whether it's feasible."

The story had been built up over a long period of time, highlighting Lu Xuanyu's prominent social status.

Now they're asking Hojo Kazuya for his opinion, wanting to discuss a solution with him.

Ultimately, whether or not Hojo Kazuya is willing to use Lu Xuanyu's method depends on his opinion.

Lu Xuanyu showed Hojo Kazuya the utmost respect in his own way.

With such an approach, it's hard for anyone to refuse to listen to what Lu Xuanyu has to say.

"Mr. Lu, what is your proposed solution?"
