Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

All I can say is that Chiqiqieji wants to destroy people by first driving them crazy.

Chapter 16: The Son-in-Law Devours His Master

"Well………………"

Erina Chikiri, who was originally a little scared, suddenly became confused. The fear had completely disappeared, and she subconsciously wanted to refute. Li Xuan said this about her father. Even if her relationship with Erina Chikiri was not good, they were still father and daughter.

But after thinking carefully about what Li Xuan said, Erina Chikiri found that it was true. If Totsuki was just a high-end restaurant or hotel, Chikiri's remarks would at most be mixed with praise and criticism. But how could a catering group of the size of Totsuki develop solely by relying on the so-called upper class people? It must reach out to the people.

If Chikiri Tsuchiya is the head of Totsuki, as long as someone exposes this matter and makes it a big deal, Totsuki's reputation will be destroyed. Reputation is very important in the restaurant industry. If Totsuki becomes notorious and is boycotted by the public, it will be seriously damaged.

"Who are you? How dare you speak like that?"

Being insulted by Li Xuan, Chikiri Ji's face suddenly turned completely dark. Li Xuan, a nobody, actually dared to talk to him like that. He knew all the relationships in the Chikiri family very well. There was no such person as Li Xuan. As for whether Li Xuan was a big shot, that was even more nonsense.

"Me? Even if I tell you, you won't understand. You can't comprehend me. Just treat me as a righteous ordinary person! To be honest, my previous words may have been biased. You were just a little too proud of yourself on the eve of the son-in-law devouring the master, so you said what was in your heart without thinking. It must have been suppressed for too long."

Chikiri Tsuki is actually a typical story of a son-in-law who devours his master. He married into the Chikiri family, but was kicked out more than ten years ago. He endured and worked hard for many years, and finally gathered a large force outside. He threatened Totsuki and directly took away Totsuki Academy from Chikiri Senzaemon.

"Ha! Since you're just an ordinary person, you have no right to interfere in Totsuki's affairs. Erina, don't you see that your father is hungry? Why don't you hurry up and do something?"

Chikiri Tsuki has no way to deal with Li Xuan now. He is just a chef. If someone really wants to confront him, he can't do anything to Li Xuan for the time being. He can only pretend to ignore Li Xuan and continue to put pressure on his daughter. After all, Chikiri Erina is the heir to Totsuki Group.

"No, according to the rules of my restaurant, you didn't make a reservation in advance, so I can't serve you."

With Li Xuan around, Erina Chikiri had the courage to refuse Chikiri Tsutomu. Even though he was her father, she couldn't let her break her rules. If she wanted to dine here, she could, just make a reservation in advance. Although their relationship was not good, she would not refuse to cook dinner for her father.

"Haha, very good, very good! Father, why don't you come out? You should be here already."

Chikiri Tsuchiya laughed in anger and suddenly shouted loudly. He knew that Chikiri Senzaemon had arrived here.

"Leave. You have no right to set foot here. I have already told you not to use the name of the Chikiri family anymore."

Chikiri Senzaemon walked out from the kitchen and spoke in a dignified manner.

"It's been a long time since I last met you, Father. Even if you are so heartless, it was I who nurtured Erina's innate talent to this degree. Even if you banish me, Erina's bloodline and education will not disappear."

Facing the angry stare of Chikiri Senzaemon, Chikiri Thistle behaved gracefully. Feeling that he had won the battle, he did not mind the rudeness of the Food Demon King. In his eyes, it was just Chikiri Senzaemon's last powerless struggle.

"What I regret most is handing Erina over to you for education."

"I think so too. If you had handed Totsuki over to me, Totsuki wouldn't have become so boring. There's no need for untalented idiots to exist. They just need to be tools to copy the recipes created by those talented people."

"No, it's the talented and capable young chefs who will determine Totsuki's future. No matter how much you shout, you can't change the facts."

After Senzaemon Chikiri stood up to argue with Chikiri, the supporters of Totsuki around him also had the courage to confront Chikiri.

"You're right. The exiled guy has the nerve to meddle in Totsuki's affairs."

“Find out who you are.”

Facing the criticism from everyone around him, Chiqiqierji gave a cold shoulder and took out a document.

"The Ten Greatest Council of Totsuki holds various powers within Totsuki Academy based on their membership. They are the highest authority within Totsuki Academy. Together, they possess authority equal to, or even greater than, the Totsuki Commander-in-Chief."

“Could it be?…………”

Everyone around them couldn't help but think of something. Could it be? It couldn't be.

"According to the rules, decisions made by more than half of the elites represent the opinions of all Totsuki Academy members."

Chikiri Thistle raised the document in his hand and smiled proudly.

"Father, please take a look. This is the resolution proposed by the Totsuki Ten Elites to elect a new commander-in-chief."

Chikiri Tsutomu handed the documents in his hand to Chikiri Senzaemon. He was not afraid of the anger in Chikiri Senzaemon's eyes. When he stood up, the matter was already settled, and Chikiri Senzaemon could no longer turn things around.

"First seat, Tsukasa Eishi, second seat, Kobayashi Rindou, fourth seat, Akane Kubo Momo, fifth seat, Saito Muneaki, sixth seat, Kinokuni Nene, ninth seat, Eiyama Ezuya! Very good! Very good! They are all excellent students of Totsuki Academy!"

Chikiri Senzaemon recited the names of all the ten outstanding people who participated in proposing the election of the new commander-in-chief of Totsuki word for word. Unexpectedly, a few months earlier, these ten outstanding people still chose to betray him and the Chikiri family.

"The strongest group in Totsuki Academy, yet most of them betrayed us."

The thoughts of Totsuki's supporters gradually changed. Although they were very unhappy with Chikiri Tsuki's arrogance, they had to change their support if Chikiri Senzaemon didn't have any backup plan. If it weren't for the Food Demon King's decades of accumulated power, some people would probably have surrendered to Chikiri Tsuki by now. As for Chikiri Tsuki's insults, they could only ignore them. It was about making money, so there was nothing shameful about it...

"The new king of Totsuki, the proud kingdom of gourmet food, is I, Chikiri Thistle. The Council of the Ten will be convened tomorrow for a vote."

"No need for tomorrow, I have already gathered all the ten elites."

Senzaemon Chikiri's anger disappeared from his face. He had known about the betrayal of the Ten Heroes for a long time, so he was naturally prepared.

"what?"

Chikiri Tsutomu was shocked. Chikiri Senzaemon actually summoned all the ten heroes. Could it be that he had already noticed his actions?

"Si Yingshi, as the leader of the Ten Elites, don't you want to say something? Have I, Totsuki, and my Chikiri family ever done anything bad to you?"

Faced with Chikiri Senzaemon's questioning, Si Yingshi was speechless. As the chief of the Ten Elites, his treatment in Totsuki Academy was not bad, but the benefits given by Chikiri Senzaemon were beyond Chikiri Senzaemon's reach.

As the first seat in the golden age, Dojima Gin worked hard for twenty years to achieve his current position. If he followed Kijikiri Tsuchiya, he could directly save twenty years of hard work.

Most of the other top ten think the same way. No matter how much power they have as the top ten, they can only enjoy it for three years. It is impossible for them to get a high position in Totsuki. After all, there are top ten graduates every year.

In fact, most of the top ten who turned to Chiqiqierji were third-year students. If the rights of the top ten were not used, they would become invalid.

"Xiao Lin Long Dan, what are you doing here?"

In Senzaemon Chikiri's opinion, Kobayashi Rindou is not a person who values power. She likes adventure and loves the unknown. What did Chikiri Thistle use to impress her?

Xiaolin Longdan also fell silent. She had her own reasons.

"Where are Kinokununi Ningning, Akane Kubo Momo, and you guys? Aren't you talking?"

The remaining ten heroes remained silent. They knew that what they did was not right, but since things had come to this point, they could not rebel. That would only lead to a situation where they would be caught between a rock and a hard place. There was only one way forward, and that was to go all the way.

"It seems that although you, Father, noticed something in advance, you were unable to change anything. In that case, I will not refuse your kindness. The Ten Elites will vote here on the replacement of Totsuki's commander-in-chief."

Chikiri Tsuji was frightened by Chikiri Senzaemon's calmness and thought Chikiri Senzaemon had some trick up his sleeve and was trying to re-incite several of the Ten Great Masters. However, the Ten Great Masters' reactions clearly showed that they did not return to the Chikiri family. So the situation was still on his side.

"agree!"

"agree"

"be opposed to!"

"agree!"

"be opposed to!"

………………

The ten outstanding candidates expressed their decisions and cast their votes.

The result remained unchanged, with six votes to four, and the decision to appoint Chikiri Tsukushi as the new Totsuki Academy commander passed. This meant that the Food King, Chikiri Senzaemon, had abdicated from that moment on, and Chikiri Tsukushi would take over as the new Totsuki Academy commander-in-chief.

Chapter 107: Chikiri Senzaemon's Great Courage

"Hahaha, thank you all for gathering here. I am Chikiri Tsuki, appointed as the new commander-in-chief by the wishes of the Ten Great Masters of Totsuki. The previous commander, Lord Senzaemon, brought much glory and achievement to the academy. As the new successor, I am indeed under considerable pressure. However, although I have no experience, I still have the physical strength of a young man. I will definitely work tirelessly for the further glory of Totsuki."

After obtaining the position of the commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy that he had dreamed of for many years, Chikiri Ji did not show his previous arrogance, but gave an impromptu speech politely.

"He seems like a nice guy."

"Yeah, I originally thought he was a very radical person, but now it seems that he is actually..."

Faced with the situation where Chikiri Echidna had a complete advantage, many people in the catering industry began to lie with their eyes open and sided with Chikiri Echidna.

"Erina, don't worry. As your father, I will always be by your side. I will designate your clients from now on. I want to let Erina's talents fully display on a bigger stage. Erina, let's work hard together, okay?"

Chikiri Azuchi walked around Chikiri Senzaemon and started walking towards Chikiri Erina. He was very confident that Chikiri Senzaemon had no tricks left.

"No, I will never hand Erina over to you."

Chikiri Senzaemon grabbed Chikiri Tsukushi's arm and spoke word by word.

16 "Father, what do you mean by this? Since you lost, you must admit it. As the new commander-in-chief of Totsuki Academy, I think I have the right to decide how to train the top ten."

"What if Erina is no longer a member of Totsuki?"

Chikiri Senzaemon said lightly.

"Father, are you kidding me? Or are you mad at me? Are you going to use the heir of the Chikiri family, the future of the Chikiri family, to seduce me?"

Chikiri Tsuki was stunned and didn't understand what Chikiri Senzaemon meant. You have to know that Totsuki Academy is the core of the Totsuki Group. Through it, the Chikiri family can influence these students from large and small shops and groups, and then call the shots in the catering industry.

If Erina Chikiri, the heir to the Chikiri family, leaves Totsuki, it will be impossible for her to accept the Totsuki Group. Does this mean that Chikiri Senzaemon is going to give up on Erina? The heir has been established for more than ten years. If he changes it now, isn't Chikiri Senzaemon afraid that the Chikiri family will never recover from this?

"No, I'm not mad at you."

Chikiri Tsuyoshi's heart fell. Although the possibility was very small, as the head of the Chikiri family, Chikiri Senzaemon, who was known as the Demon King of Food, had the ability and prestige to change the heir.

At the beginning, Chikiri Senzaemon's son Chikiri Soe was not as capable as his daughter Chikiri Managi, so Chikiri Senzaemon pushed Chikiri Managi to the position, which led to his son Chikiri Soe going to Europe to make a living and always staying outside the Totsuki Group.

"I'm not kidding you either. Erina is indeed leaving Totsuki. Not only her, but the entire Chikiri family is leaving Totsuki."

When Senzaemon Chikiri said this, not only Chikiri Chikiri, but also everyone present in the catering industry, the Ten Greatest Graduates of Totsuki Academy, the current Ten Greatest Graduates, and the ordinary students all wondered if they had misheard something or if they were all dreaming.

If the Chikiri family were to withdraw from Totsuki Academy, what difference would that make from withdrawing from the Totsuki Group? But before Chikiri Senzaemon said this, no one would have believed it, because Totsuki was founded by the Chikiri family, and then it was under Chikiri Senzaemon's leadership that it grew to its current size. It can be said that Totsuki and the Chikiri family are two sides of the same coin, and it is impossible to separate them.

"Father, it seems I must have been hallucinating. I actually heard you say you were going to take the Chikiri family out of Totsuki. Haha, I must be too tired."

Chikiri Tsuji laughed and thought that Chikiri Senzaemon must be getting senile.

"Chikiri Tsuchiya, no, I should call you Nakamura Tsuchiya, you heard it right, I really want to take the Chikiri family out of Totsuki."

After looking around at everyone present, Chikiri Senzaemon said this without a trace of emotion in his tone.

"I originally thought I was doing a good job as the commander-in-chief, but I didn't expect so many people to stand up against me. If that's the case, there's no need for Totsuki to exist. I've been cultivating myself over the years, and I'm afraid many people have forgotten how I got the name of the Food Demon King."

When Chikiri Senzaemon took over the Totsuki and Chikiri families, the scale was far smaller than it is today. It was just an ordinary cooking academy. It was his battles and defeats of countless opponents that made the Totsuki and Chikiri families grow and become stronger.

"Since I can build Totsuki, I can also destroy it. Totsuki Academy is just a school. As a lesson for the loss I suffered, I give it to you, Nakamura Ji."

"Father, did you have a cerebral hemorrhage or Alzheimer's disease? How dare you say such a thing? You should understand that no matter how powerful you are, you are already seventy years old. How long can you live? Do you really want to destroy all your life's work?"

Chikiri Tsuki was no longer polite. The banner of Chikiri Senzaemon has always been the symbol of Totsuki. If he and the Chikiri family were gone, even if the Totsuki Group relied on Totsuki Academy, it would be considered lucky if it could retain 50%.

But the Chikiri family suffered even more after losing Totsuki. They were directly beaten back to their original form. Even if Chikiri Soe's influence outside was added, the Chikiri family fell directly from the uncrowned king of the catering industry to a second-rate level.

Chikiri Tsukiji completely fails to understand Chikiri Senzaemon's thoughts and formal logic. Why on earth did Chikiri Senzaemon choose to withdraw from Totsuki? This is completely hurting the enemy a hundred times and hurting oneself a thousand times.

"Nakamura Ji, are you worthy enough to call old man Senzaemon father? You are no longer a member of the Chikiri family. Don't you have an illegitimate son, Saiba Chaoyang, who is said to be the world's best chef? Just call him back. You two nameless people can use your own surnames again, right?"

At this time, Li Xuan revealed another big news about Kijikiri. Saiba Chaoyang was the illegitimate son of Kijikiri and a dancer in his early years. Later, in order to marry Kijikiri Managi, he gave him to his senior Saiba Seiichiro to raise.

"That's right, Nakamura Tsuki. I don't care whether you want to change your name back to Nakamura or not, you are not allowed to use the names of the Chikiri family and Totsuki anymore. This is the decision of me, Chikiri Senzaemon, the head of the Chikiri family."

Thinking of the existence of Saiba Asahi or Nakamura Asahi, Chikiri Senzaemon's face darkened again. It turned out that he would allow an illegitimate son-in-law with no blood relationship to get the name of Chikiri. It was not because he valued talent or was open-minded, but because the divine tongue in his daughter and granddaughter required an extremely excellent chef, so he could not accept the existence of Saiba Asahi and a group of traitors.

Now that the problem of the God's Tongue has been solved, the Phichikiri family now controls the food world and does not need to compromise for a few geniuses. The existence of the food world is bound to lead to the emergence of a golden age for chefs. In the face of the true Age of Jade, Saiba Chaoyang or a few of the Ten Outstanding People are simply insignificant.

This is also the reason why Senzaemon Chikiri chose to give up the current Totsuki. It was not because he was angry with Chikiri Azuchi or something like that. As the person who was able to lead the Chikiri family and Totsuki to develop to this day, he is not someone who will let his emotions influence his judgment.

In fact, the Totsuki Group has long been more than just the Chikiri Group. During its development, it has accepted investments from numerous catering groups. In return, Totsuki has gained great voice in the catering industry.

However, as a result, the current Totsuki Group is very complex, with various forces intertwined. Even the dominant Chikiri family cannot dominate everything, and often needs to accept the opinions of others. This is also the price of Totsuki's development and growth, and the Chikiri family can only accept it.

But now that Erina Chikiri has obtained such a great opportunity, the Totsuki Group seems insignificant and too complicated. For the Chikiri family today, interests are the least important. If they can show a little bit through the gap between their fingers, they can create countless Totsuki. The most important thing is loyalty.

If loyalty is not absolute, then it is absolutely disloyalty, not to mention the Totsuki Group, which is just an exchange of interests. No matter how you look at it, Chikiri Senzaemon is definitely an eyesore.

Taking advantage of Chikiri Azuchi's disturbance, Chikiri Senzaemon perfectly separated himself from the original Totsuki Group and established a brand new Totsuki Group that belonged exclusively to the Chikiri family.

Chapter 108: Xiaolin Gendan's Test

"Do you really want to break up with me?"

He ignored Li Xuan. In his eyes, Li Xuan was already a dead man. After he got out, he would mobilize all his strength to retaliate against Li Xuan. The key was Chikiri Senzaemon's words. Chikiri Ji understood that Chikiri Senzaemon was not going to let it go peacefully.

"You don't think I'm kidding you! I'm not senile yet. You had an illegitimate child and you hid it from our Chikiri family, gave him to Saiba Seiichiro as an adopted son, and then married Managi. This is completely malicious towards the Chikiri family. Do I have to keep you here to occupy our family?"

After saying this, Chikiri Senzaemon stopped looking at Chikiri Tsuki, whose expression had become extremely ugly, and turned around to speak to everyone else present.

"As I said before, the Chikiri family has decided to completely withdraw from Totsuki. Whether you are a partner of the Chikiri family, a former graduate of Totsuki Academy, or a current student, if you are unwilling to follow the Chikiri family with its uncertain future, I understand and will not complain. If you are willing to continue to follow the Chikiri family, then I promise that you will not regret it. The Chikiri family will definitely give those who stand behind the Chikiri family at this time very generous rewards."

Chikiri Senzaemon said these words in one breath, paused, and gave everyone some time to think.

"I don't want to say much more. That's all I have to say tonight. I won't bother you any more. I hope you enjoy your meal."

After saying this, Senzaemon Chikiri walked out without even looking at Chikiri Tsukushi.

After Chikiri Senzaemon left, Chikiri Tsuki lost interest in continuing to pester Chikiri Erina and quickly walked out. He had to respond to Chikiri Senzaemon's move and contact all parties to preserve the Totsuki Group as much as possible.
