“Now you feel that it doesn’t matter? What does that mean? I just want to compete with you. Do you think I’m not qualified to compete with you at all?”

The words Qiu Zeshen said at the end were already a little cold.

When Jiang Ming heard this, he found it funny.

“You were the one who said that we weren’t worthy of you, but now you’re turning it around. You’re really amazing. Mr. Qiu Zeshen, perhaps we are all inferior to you.”

In the end, Jiang Ming also started to regret things.

He should not have said that to Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe. Qiu Zeshen deserved to be scolded.

Yuan Hehe added, “I don’t think you’re suitable to compete with us. Jiu Zhu’s culinary skills are unparalleled. There’s no need for us to compete. Jiu Zhu, let’s go. Let’s forget about trying to fix our relationship today.”

After saying that, he wanted to pull Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan away.

In his opinion, it was not like there was no Yellow Gall Grass in the village. Why should they lower their heads and grovel for a stalk of Yellow Gall Grass?

When Chu Xinxin saw this scene, she immediately became anxious and quickly went forward to stop the three of them.

“Don’t go yet. This misunderstanding must be resolved. If this continues, your relationship will become worse.”

“Ms. Xinxin, you should be able to tell that Qiu Zeshen obviously doesn’t want to talk to us,” Yuan Hehe said. “Since that’s the case, why do we still continue to compete? Isn’t this asking for trouble? I advise you to save your breath. It’s fine if you don’t reconcile this kind of relationship.”

As he spoke, he wanted to leave.

At this moment, Qiu Zeshen felt that he had let Jiang Ming leave too smoothly. He immediately said, “Who asked you to leave? You have to stay here. You let people check my recipes, and you’re still being aggressive. How can you be reasonable? No matter what, I have to report to the authorities to hand you over.”

Hearing this, Yuan Hehe could not help but be dumbfounded. Finally, he looked at Sikong Wuyuan. The two of them laughed at the same time. “Report it to the government? What a joke. What did we do? Who did we get to check your recipes? Do we need to cheat with our abilities? We don’t even need to look at the cooking skills of a person like you. You are nothing to us.”

These words were completely belittling Qiu Zeshen. He could not help but say angrily, “What nonsense. You guys haven’t even tasted my cooking. How do you know my cooking skills? Moreover, my recipes are famous for their delicious taste. Many people want them but can’t get them.”

As he spoke, he could not help but straighten his back proudly, his eyes filled with disdain.

In his opinion, Jiu Zhu and the other two were just a bunch of boorish people who did not know how to enjoy fine food. They were not worthy of him cooking for them.

Thinking of this, he could not help but think it through again.

What was the point of saying that to such a person? He was just being a fool.

Before Jiang Ming and the other two could reply, Qiu Zeshen said to Chu Xinxin, “It’s not that I don’t want to respect you, but these people are really not worth it. You should go back first. Your father has been blinded by these boorish people. Sooner or later, he will wake up.”

“Whether or not I’ve done as you said, everyone will be able to see clearly. You don’t have to judge.”

Jiang Ming looked at Qiu Zeshen coldly.

Qiu Zeshen felt a chill run down his spine. He could not help but tremble. He gritted his teeth and said, “You’re just a young man. What right do you have to tell me what to do? What I said is true. Only my old friend and his daughter will be deceived by you, but I won’t.”

At the end of his sentence, he deliberately raised his voice, his eyes filled with provocation.

Jiang Ming was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about anything else. Just look at your current situation. You’re slandering me without any basis. You don’t even listen to your old buddy’s daughter’s explanation. What kind of person are you? Since she’s your old friend’s daughter, why would she lie to you? Besides, I haven’t had much contact with Chu Xinxin. I’ve been focusing on cooking. You probably think that you’ll lose. That’s why you’re slandering me, aren’t you?”

The smile on his lips did not stop. He was obviously mocking Qiu Zeshen.

Qiu Zeshen’s anger suddenly rose. He pointed at Jiang Ming and said, “What right do you have to talk to me like this? Logically speaking, I’m your elder, so you have to respect me. Besides, I don’t need your approval. Everyone here likes my cooking. You’re afraid of losing, aren’t you?”

Sikong Wuyuan rolled his eyes.

“Then continue to compete. What are you talking to us for? People who don’t know might think that you can only talk big without anything to show for it.”

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with disgust.

He felt that Qiu Zeshen had gone too far. He did not even want to have anything to do with him.

If it was not for Jiang Ming, he would have slapped him long ago.

Chu Xinxin also spoke up for them.

“Mr. Qiu, let’s continue with the competition. This matter is my fault. I acted on my own accord. It really has nothing to do with them. I won’t participate in it anymore. It won’t be too late to talk about it after the results are over.”

Qiu Zeshen pondered for a moment.

These people were arrogant. If no one taught them a lesson, it would be hard for his old friend.

He might as well continue to compete and make them convinced.

However, he could not show that he had already agreed. Instead, he forced himself to say, “Alright then, I’ll take it as agreeing to your request. Seeing that you all want to compete with me so much, I can’t reject your good intentions. After all, I’m a magnanimous person. I won’t hold it against you.”

Sikong Wuyuan smiled.

“We’re not here to compete with you. We’re here to rub off your spirit. Qiu Zeshen, your food is not presentable at all.”

He deliberately said the last sentence a little louder.

He knew that people Qiu Zeshen’s age cared the most about their reputation. If they lost their reputation now, they would never be able to make up for it.

He could not help but mock him in his heart.

Qiu Zeshen was already old. How amazing could his cooking be?

“Qiu Zeshen, are you sure you want to continue?” Jiang Ming asked. “I’m really afraid that you’ll lose.”

His words seemed to be kind, but in reality, he was insulting Qiu Zeshen.

Jiang Ming’s slow expression made Qiu Zeshen feel that Jiang Ming was asking for a beating.

He quickly snorted a few more times, then turned around and walked into the private room.
