Chapter 94: The Shock of a Five-Star Hotel’s Executive Chef! (Part 1/2)
Tang Feng made a phone call to Su Xiaoli.
Soon, the two met.
“How did it go? Did you talk to Professor Lu?” Su Xiaoli asked eagerly.
“I did! He agreed to talk to your class instructor about the situation!” Tang Feng answered.
“That’s really great!” Su Xiaoli was somewhat overjoyed.
“Even though we don’t have to participate in military training, we can’t just idle away our time. During this period, you can continue to improve your calligraphy skills in preparation for the welcome party,” Tang Feng arranged.
“What about you? Are you preparing something too?” Su Xiaoli asked.
“I plan to write a song myself and perform it at the welcome party,” Tang Feng answered.
“Did I hear that right? You plan to sing a song you wrote?” Su Xiaoli was very surprised.
“That’s right!” Tang Feng nodded, “I think performing a song I wrote myself will have a better effect.”
“Can you sing it for me now?” Su Xiaoli’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
“Not now,” Tang Feng looked around and said, “Let’s find a quiet place, and then I’ll sing it for you.”
“A quiet place? Do you mean the small woods in the school?” Su Xiaoli guessed.
“At night, there are quite a few couples in the small woods. If I sing there, I might scare someone. Let me think of a better place,” Tang Feng said with a happy smile.
“I advise you not to mess around! If someone sees us, it would be really embarrassing!” Su Xiaoli warned him upon seeing his expression.
“Don’t worry! I know my limits,” Tang Feng paused, then asked, “Are you free tonight? Accompany me to Professor Lu’s house for dinner.”
“Professor Lu? He’s inviting you to dinner?” Su Xiaoli was surprised.
“Yes!” Tang Feng nodded, “But I feel his intention isn’t just about the meal. He mainly wants me to give some advice to his nephew.”
“What does his nephew do?” Su Xiaoli blinked and asked.
“A five-star hotel’s executive chef,” Tang Feng answered.
“A five-star hotel’s executive chef should already have a very high level of cooking skills. In our Binjiang District, let alone a five-star hotel, there isn’t even a four-star hotel,” Su Xiaoli couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Being an executive chef at a five-star hotel definitely means he’s skilled. But compared to my cooking skills, there should still be quite a gap,” Tang Feng laughed.
“Is that so? In that case, during dinner tonight, you can have a cooking match with Professor Lu’s nephew to see who’s better,” Su Xiaoli suggested.
“Are you kidding? Professor Lu is inviting me to dinner, how can he let me cook? At most, we can share some cooking tips during the meal,” Tang Feng said.
“If we’re going to Professor Lu’s house for dinner, shouldn’t we buy something? We can’t go empty-handed, can we?” Su Xiaoli discussed with him.
“Going empty-handed is definitely not okay. Even if Professor Lu says not to bring anything, we still should bring something. It’s just polite. Otherwise, it might make him feel uncomfortable,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
“But what should we bring?” Su Xiaoli asked.
“Cigarettes and alcohol are options. But Professor Lu seems not to smoke, so I think we can bring two bottles of wine. I’m not sure how old his child is, otherwise, we could buy something for the kid too,” Tang Feng answered.
“Considering Professor Lu’s age, he’s not much younger than our parents. His child should be in middle school or high school,” Su Xiaoli analyzed.
“If it’s high school, we could buy some educational materials for the child, preferably from Huanggang Middle School,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
“Are you serious?” Su Xiaoli was taken aback.
“Silly girl, what do you think?” Tang Feng reached out to flick her nose, his tone full of affection.
“If we show up with educational materials, I guess his child will never want to see you again in this lifetime,” Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him.
“That’s a must. So, we’ll just buy two bottles of wine to take over. After we get to know the child better, we can buy other things,” Tang Feng decided.
“Mm,” Su Xiaoli nodded.
Tang Feng checked his watch, and it was time for lunch.
The two went to the cafeteria.
They happened to run into Su Ming and Zhu Zihang also dining in the cafeteria.
“Boss!” the two shouted in unison.
“Big sister-in-law!” then, they greeted Su Xiaoli.
Hearing this title, Su Xiaoli’s face turned red.
“What are you shouting about here! Hurry up and eat your food!” Tang Feng glared at them.
Su Ming and Zhu Zihang chuckled.
Tang Feng went to the cafeteria window to get food, and he and Su Xiaoli sat down at the dining table.
“Tang Feng, what’s going on? Why are they calling you boss?” Su Xiaoli was puzzled.
“I don’t know,” Tang Feng shook his head, “Maybe they think because I scored full marks in the college entrance exam and solved the world-class mathematical problem, the Riemann Hypothesis.”
“Since they call you boss, then you should take care of them more in daily life,” Su Xiaoli said.
“Don’t worry! They are my roommates; how could I possibly treat them poorly. Once the official term starts, as long as they are willing, I can take them to do research and publish papers in core journals early,” Tang Feng said with a slight smile.
“Speaking of publishing papers, should I also strive to publish papers in some finance journals?” Su Xiaoli discussed with him.
“You should. The more papers you publish, the more important your position will be in the eyes of the teachers,” Tang Feng nodded.
“It seems I’ll have to spend all my time in the library from now on. Otherwise, it’s impossible to publish papers in a short time,” Su Xiaoli sighed.
“What about me if you’re spending all your time in the library?” Tang Feng asked.
“You can come with me! You can continue to tackle the remaining world-class mathematical problems. Of course, if you’re willing, you can also learn financial knowledge with me. I think it would be beneficial for you too,” Su Xiaoli suggested.
“I’ve already mastered quite a bit of financial knowledge. How about I tutor you instead? That way, you won’t have to spend all your time in the library. We can also spend more time together,” Tang Feng thought for a moment and decided.
“Financial knowledge? Do you really understand it?” Su Xiaoli was somewhat skeptical.
Although Tang Feng was indeed very outstanding in mathematics, finance was still quite different from mathematics.
“Of course! After we finish eating, let’s go to the library, and I’ll tutor you. Then you’ll know whether I’m telling the truth or not. Facts speak louder than words,” Tang Feng responded calmly.
“Okay!” Su Xiaoli nodded.
Her eyes were filled with anticipation.
“Boss! Big sister-in-law! We’re done eating! Take your time!” Su Ming and the others greeted and then left the cafeteria.
