More people came to the kitchen; James and two chefs arrived, along with other staff, all wanting to see how the new boss would handle the venison.

What Shen Fei brought was not some common seasoning, but something from the East.

There was some brown cumin, some red dried chili peppers, and some strange-smelling particles; it smelled very odd.

"Sir, should all these spices be put on the venison?"

James looked at the spices, his face still polite, but he felt very strange.

He thought to himself, "Such good meat only needs a little sea salt and butter."

Shen Fei smiled.

He picked up the venison tenderloin, cut it into strips about the thickness of his little finger.

His movements looked very skilled and unpretentious; he was clearly someone who cooked often.

"James, this ingredient is great, so I'll use a good method to cook it. Today, I'll let you taste the flavors of the East, haha."

Su Man stood to the side, looking at Shen Fei's confident demeanor, and she felt very curious.

She had seen him direct the fish, seen him spend money, and seen him do business, but she had never seen him cook.

This man seems to have many facets.

"Boss, are you sure you can handle this?"

Pete came over too. He had just changed out of his hunting clothes, and his voice was still as loud as ever. "The meat is so good, don't ruin it."

Shen Fei ignored him.

He simply tossed the sliced ​​venison with soy sauce and starch, and then asked the chef to heat a wok to a very high temperature.

After the pot was heated very hot, Shen Fei poured in the oil. When the oil started to smoke, he slid the strips of venison into the pot.

With a loud "sizzle," the aroma of meat wafted out.

Shen Fei shook the pot, and the meat strips inside began to tumble and roll. Each strip was cooked and quickly turned a dark brown color, looking very delicious.

This process is very fast, taking only about ten seconds.

Then, Shen Fei took the venison out of the pot.

There was still oil in the pot, so he poured in the oriental seasonings.

Another sizzling sound filled the kitchen, followed by an even more fragrant aroma than before.

The aroma was a blend of fire, spices, and oil; it was so intense that all the Western chefs in the kitchen stared wide-eyed.

"It smells so good!"

Pete couldn't help himself and yelled.

Shen Fei poured the venison back into the pot and quickly stir-fried it a few times, coating each piece of meat with the spices.

Finally, he sprinkled some chopped green onions and cilantro, flicked his wrist again, and the contents of the pot flew through the air before landing neatly on the plate.

A plate of Chinese-style cumin-flavored deer fillets, which looks dark in color and smells very fragrant, is ready.

"Alright, you guys have a taste."

Shen Fei placed the plate on the table, looking very relaxed, as if he had just done a small thing.

James was the first to pick up the fork.

He forked a piece of venison and put it in his mouth with some uncertainty.

Then, his eyes widened suddenly.

James tasted it and thought it was delicious.

The venison is crispy and fragrant on the outside, with a cumin and chili flavor.

However, the venison is very tender and juicy, and the sweetness of the meat is not lost at all.

This taste was completely different from any venison he had ever eaten before.

He was surprised, so he said:

"Oh my god... this is so delicious."

Pete couldn't wait any longer; he grabbed a piece with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

The meat was very hot, and he kept gasping for breath because of the heat, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

He thought it was so delicious that he mumbled something:

"Delicious! So delicious! Boss, what kind of magic is this?"

Su Man also ate a small piece. The spiciness made her very hungry, but after the spiciness wore off, all that remained was the natural sweetness of the venison.

She looked at Shen Fei and felt very happy.

Everyone is happily eating venison.

However, James's private terminal beeped.

He glanced at the message, his smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

He walked over to Shen Fei and whispered:

"Sir, there's a new development. Yamato Refrigeration has replied."

The restaurant fell silent immediately. Pete stopped eating, and everyone turned to look.

The meal was supposed to be quite enjoyable, but because of one name, the atmosphere suddenly shifted from relaxed to tense.

"They've sent someone over; they'll arrive tomorrow morning."

James added.

"Oh?"

Shen Fei wiped his mouth, seemingly unsurprised, and then asked:

"Who was sent?"

"She's their Vice President of International Sales," James said, looking at the information on his terminal. "Her name is Noriko Nakagawa."

Upon hearing this name, Kyle, the security supervisor who had remained silent until now, shifted his gaze, took a step forward, and said:

"Boss, this woman is no ordinary person. My friends in the military have mentioned her."

"Her nickname in the industry is 'The Ice Queen.' She's incredibly skilled at negotiating business and has never lost a single deal."

"It's said that she can bring down rival companies with a smile, and no one can threaten her."

After Kyle said those words, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed, as if the temperature had dropped.

Everyone thought this woman was difficult to deal with.

Just as Pete was about to yell at someone, he saw that Shen Fei was not only not nervous, but was actually smiling.

"The Ice Queen?"

Shen Fei tapped the table with his fingers, making a "tap-tap" sound, as if he were listening to a joke.

He looked at Kyle, whose expression was very serious, and then asked:

"Although she's never lost, has she ever encountered a truly 'rich person'?"

Kyle paused for a moment, then understood what his boss meant.

Noriko Nakagawa's so-called "never losing" is all achieved by competing with people similar to her within the normal business rules.

But now, she has to face someone who can set his own rules and doesn't play by the rules.

Then, Shen Fei explained to Su Man, who was a little worried:

"Manman, don't worry. This situation can be compared to a boxing match where one fighter claims to have never lost, but his opponent can bring a gun into the ring. Do you understand?"

The analogy was a bit harsh, and Su Man and Pete immediately understood. They were no longer worried; instead, they were eager to see what would happen.

After listening, Pete seemed to understand.

He slapped his thigh and said:

"Damn it, I get it! Boss, you mean no matter how capable she is, she's just an employee. We can talk to her boss directly, or even buy her company outright?"

Shen Fei nodded in agreement, but did not answer directly. Instead, he slowly forked a piece of venison and put it in his mouth.

After finishing his meal, he finally looked up and glanced at his now relaxed subordinates.

At this moment, Shen Fei's tone changed; he no longer sounded like a gourmet, but like a boss.

He spoke calmly, but with great authority; no one dared disobey him.

"Tell them we welcome her. We'll talk tomorrow morning in the manor's drawing room."

He then said to Pete:

"Tomorrow morning, clean the 'Poseidon' ship thoroughly, fill it with fuel, and make it ready at any time. We want to take our guests out to sea and show them firsthand how capable we are."

Finally, his gaze fell on Su Man's face.

"Don't worry, it's just a negotiation. A truly powerful company always attracts all sorts of people. Some are good, some are bad. He said we don't need to be afraid of anything, we just need to prepare tea and a boat."
