Qin Kai brought Wu Yan to Zhou Shudi and Zhou Jinnan, with a strange girl following behind him: “This guy is from Zhenxiu Pavilion. He has been stealing skills in the kitchen and has passed a lot of information to the people in Zhenxiu Pavilion.”

“How did you find out?” Qin Kai’s words stunned everyone in the kitchen of Jushanlou. Wu Yan has been working with them these days. No matter what tasks Zhou Jinnan assigned him, he completed them very conscientiously. He was an easy-going young man when they were together. They never thought that such a Wu Yan would be a spy sent by Zhenxiu Pavilion.

 “I happened to see him secretly reporting the news just now.” Qin Kai turned to Zhou Jinnan and said, “This guy reported everything he learned from you to his superiors, including the method you used to train everyone to practice mental power.”

Everyone’s face changed. Zhou Shudi noticed Qi Zhaoshui following Qin Kai, and temporarily put aside the matter of Wu Yan and asked Qi Zhaoshui first: “Qin Kai, who is that girl?”

Qin Kai pushed Qi Zhaoshui, who was silently observing everyone in front: “When I caught Wu Yan, she happened to pass by and heard it, so I brought her here with me. You guys can handle it.” The latter half of the sentence was obviously said to Zhou Jinnan and Zhou Shudi.

Zhou Shudi thought about it. After all, Wu Yan learned the information he conveyed from Zhou Jinnan. So he looked at Zhou Jinnan and said, “Then let Jinnan take care of it.”

“Let the girl go. It’s not a very important matter.” Zhou Jinnan said. When Qi Zhaoshui’s back disappeared from everyone’s sight, he turned his eyes to Wu Yan. “As for you, Wu Yan…”

“What are you going to do? Fire him?” Mozhi was originally forced to diligently refine pills for Zhou Jinnan in the portable cave. When he heard that there was something exciting to watch, he couldn’t help but stop and move closer. “Things like what happened to Wu Yan today will definitely happen again and again. And that little girl heard a lot. Who knows if she will tell it everywhere and you just let her go?”

What if it spreads? This was within Zhou Jinnan’s expectations. Zhou Jinnan was silent and no one knew what he was thinking. He was expressionless. He stared at Wu Yan. Wu Yan avoided Zhou Jinnan’s gaze because he felt guilty. He knew that his identity was exposed and he would definitely not be kept by Jushanlou. He just prayed that Boss Feng would keep his promise and fulfill his promise after he returned.

“There is nothing to say. Call the police first and follow the procedures. The specific losses will be calculated by Uncle Huo, and then the people behind Wu Yan will bear it.” Zhou Jinnan said, “Uncle Huo, regarding the training of mental power, I think we need to discuss our plan again.” Wu Yan’s leak involved more than just Zhou Jinnan and Jushanlou.

After learning from Zhou Jinnan and making it clear that Zhou Jinnan’s method can really develop and train mental power, Zhou Jinnan reached a cooperation intention with the Qin and Huo families. Huo Xuan and Qin Fangyu discussed many plans on how to popularize the method mastered by Zhou Jinnan. Qin Fangyu has made preliminary deployment preparations in his own army, but he has not taken any specific actions because the timing is not right. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that there would be huge benefits. Even if Qin Fangyu was thinking about the country and the general public, he would inevitably give priority to his own people during the popularization process.

And now they haven’t started to act yet, but the training methods for developing mental power have been secretly spread out. This is not just a simple matter of leaking secrets between ordinary restaurants, but also affects the interests of the Huo family and the Qin family. Even if Zhou Jinnan is willing to be generous and let him go, Huo Xuan and the Huo family and the Qin family behind him will not let Wu Yan and the people behind Wu Yan go so easily.

Huo Xuan heard Zhou Jinnan push the matter to him, and he understood that Zhou Jinnan meant that he was willing to hand over the people involved in the leak to him for disposal. He was very satisfied with Zhou Jinnan’s choice: “Don’t worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.” It is clear that Wu Yan was sent by Zhenxiu Pavilion. Zhenxiu Pavilion will not keep this information for themselves, but will definitely hand it over. It is much easier for Huo Xuan to deal with Zhenxiu Pavilion and the people behind Zhenxiu Pavilion than for Zhou Jinnan to do it himself.

 After leaving all the follow-up matters to Huo Xuan, Zhou Jinnan, who became a hands-off boss, felt relaxed: “It’s true that it’s better to lean on a big tree for shade. Qin Kai is really my lucky star, letting me lean on such a big tree.”

“You are really lazy. Qin Kai and Zhou Shudi handed the matter to you, but you passed it onto Huo Xuan.” Mozhi curled his lips, and Heidou’s eyes were full of disdain for Zhou Jinnan’s laziness.

Zhou Jinnan was happy and at ease: “I am almost worried to death training and teaching Min Ziqian and other stupid guys in the kitchen. It’s better to leave this kind of wide-ranging matter to Uncle Huo.”

The last dish had been served and was once again eaten by Qi Zhaohua and his classmates within three minutes. However, Qi Zhaoshui didn’t come back for a long time. Qi Zhaohua couldn’t sit still when he realized this. He grabbed the passing service robot and wanted to ask, but saw his sister Qi Zhaoshui walking towards him.

 “Why did you take so long?” Qi Zhaohua asked worriedly. He was relieved after checking Qi Zhaoshui was fine. Qi Zhaoshui had just recovered and he was afraid that something might happen to her.

Qi Zhaoshui thought of the sporadic words she heard, blinked, and whispered in Qi Zhaohua’s ear: “I’ll tell brother when we get back.” She vaguely felt that what she had seen before should be very important, but the chef who sent her back did not ask her to keep it secret, so she should be able to tell her brother, right?

Qi Zhaohua was keenly aware of the mystery in Qi Zhaoshui’s words. Curiosity took over, so he called the service robot to settle the bills for himself and Qi Zhaoshui first, and then found an excuse to take Qi Zhaoshui away.

On the way back, Qi Zhaoshui slowly told her brother everything she had just seen.

 “You mean, you saw a commercial spy in Jushanlou, and he was caught by the people in Jushanlou?” Qi Zhaohua sorted out his thoughts, “And the commercial spy learned the method of developing mental power in Jushanlou while stealing from Jushanlou?”

In Qi Zhaohua and Qi Zhaoshui’s family, most of their elders, including their parents, are engaged in the media industry. Influenced by their family since childhood, Qi Zhaohua is much more sensitive to news than his peers. After listening to Qi Zhaoshui’s description, Qi Zhaohua has already noticed the terrible amount of information contained in it.

Any news involving mental power will attract the public’s attention as quickly as possible. Why can Jushanlou become famous in the food industry so quickly? Zhou Jinnan stated in the live broadcast that their food has an incomparable effect on mental power, which undoubtedly plays a huge role! If it is true as Qi Zhaoshui said, the people in Jushanlou have mastered the method of developing and using mental power, then this matter will involve more than just people in the food and cooking industries.

 Qi Zhaohua, who understood this, couldn’t help but take a breath. Although he didn’t know why the people in Jushanlou knew that Qi Zhaoshui had accidentally heard the news but didn’t ask her to keep it secret, the importance of this matter made Qi Zhaohua immediately tell his parents everything about it.

Qi Zhaohua, a college student, had seen more storms than Qi Zhaoshui could. Their rich experience and news acumen trained in the media industry allowed this famous media couple to quickly understand what the people in Jushanlou wanted to express. Since they acquiesced to Qi Zhaoshui to tell the story, Jushanlou’s attitude towards the spread of commercial espionage was evident.

Qi’s father and mother had no reason to refuse the overtures from Jushanlou. The couple smiled at each other and showed a tacit understanding: “It seems that we have to promote Jushanlou.”

That night, the news of the infiltration of commercial spies into Jushanlou was published on the social news section of the Star Network. Although a lot of information was hidden and vague, the few words in the news were enough to make people imagine. What’s more, the author of this news also used extremely affirmative words to confirm that the commercial spies stole Jushanlou’s unique method of developing and training mental power, and the special effect of Jushanlou’s spiritual food was precisely because of Jushanlou’s method.

[? ? ? Why can I see Jushanlou every time I read social news? ]

[Isn’t this a new restaurant that just opened? There are already commercial spies infiltrating it. Do restaurants need to be so scheming in their operations? ]

[It should be the competitors feel threatened and do this?  ]

[Jushanlou is on Aquamarine Star. The Seventh Star District is so remote. Jushanlou’s high-end restaurant positioning should not have many competitors, right? ]

[Didn’t Zhenxiu Pavilion just open a branch on Aquamarine some time ago? I seriously suspect that the competitor comes from Zhenxiu Pavilion.]

[The address of Zhenxiu Pavilion’s Aquamarine Star branch is only one street away from Jushanlou. So I agree that the business spy came from Zhenxiu Pavilion. ]

[Not expressing an opinion or taking a stand, I feel there will be other hidden stories. Waiting for the plot to turn around. ]

[You are all focusing on the wrong point! The news said that the business spy stole the method of mental training. Is it true? ]

[A restaurant that has food that can cure mental breakdown has a method of training mental power. There seems to be nothing wrong? ]

[Such a good method is actually owned by only one restaurant? I strongly protest and demand that Jushanlou make the method public! Let everyone enjoy it.  ]

[Why did Jushanlou disclose the method it developed? Some people are too shameless! The keyboard warriors should get lost! ]

[Shouldn’t the federal government and the Supreme Academy of Sciences come forward at this time? ]

…

Qu Fei Ang saw the news on the Star Network, turned off his personal terminal interface with a sullen face, and was so angry that he couldn’t help but smash the ornaments at hand into the corner. Baoda Group will hold a press conference tomorrow to announce that it has developed a method to train mental power. For this matter, Qu Fei Ang has specially worked overtime in the office tonight, but what did he see? Tonight, there was news about the infiltration of commercial spies in Jushanlou! The news even said that Jushanlou has a method to train mental power? !

This was revealed neither too early nor too late, but tonight! How can he hold a press conference tomorrow? !

 At that time, Xia Yan stood where she was, keeping silent and head down in fear, glancing at Qu Fei Ang out of the corner of her eye. It was the first time she saw President Qu lose his composure like this.

“Fei Ang, what’s with the news on Starnet? Wasn’t Jushanlou acquired by the group more than ten years ago? Why did it suddenly appear again?” Bai Xiran rushed from the research institute to find Qu Fei Ang after seeing the news, and happened to run into Qu Fei Ang with a dark face.

 Bai Xiran walked around the broken pieces of the ornaments and took a step forward. He wrapped his slender and graceful hand around Qu Fei Ang’s hand and clenched it into a fist. After Qu Fei Ang calmed down, he whispered softly, “What’s wrong with you? I haven’t seen you lose your temper for a long time.”

Shi Xiayan’s eyes sparkled, and she couldn’t help but think: Professor Bai is worthy of being here. He always has a way to calm President Qu down from losing control and getting angry, unlike her…

“It’s still about Jushanlou.” Bai Xiran was the one who asked the question. Qu Fei Ang had nothing to hide. He showed Bai Xiran the plan for the press conference. “Now all the group’s plans have gone down the drain.”

“It’s just a piece of news. Jushanlou didn’t make any statement, so it’s hard to be sure. Maybe there’s still a chance for things to turn around?” Bai Xiran comforted.

 Qu Fei Ang closed his eyes: “But the method that our group will publicize at the press conference is improved based on the method obtained from Jushanlou.” He was originally prepared to take the initiative and print the mark of Baoda Group in front of the public first, but a piece of news disrupted all his plans.

Bai Xiran’s face changed instantly: “What did you say?” When Qu Fei Ang handed him the information for research, Bai Xiran thought that Qu Fei Ang had his own channels and mental powers, but he didn’t expect that the source of that information was like this!

Thousands of thoughts flowed through his mind, and Bai Xiran had a flash of inspiration: “Then why don’t you just find someone to buy out their method from Jushanlou?”

“Jushanlou won’t sell it.” Qu Fei Ang waved his hand.

 “Why? This matter can obviously bring us a win-win situation. Baoda Group is so large that it can definitely maximize the value of this method. Even if we have different positions with Jushanlou and have grudges in the past, we can put them aside in the face of such huge interests.” Bai Xiran said incomprehensibly, “And the matter of sending commercial spies was just the boss of the Zhenxiu Pavilion branch’s own decision. I think if we make this clear, there should still be opportunities for cooperation.”

Qu Fei Ang kept silent, his face changing unpredictably.
