Chapter 451 Retaking Nanfeng Tower
Wang De dared to act like this, he had his own reasons——
Although his cooking skills have not improved much over the years, his status in the chef community has been rising due to his good management and the reputation of Wang's and Yongnianlou.
Those present were either his peers or his juniors.
Even if they dare to yell a few words in anger, can they really convict him?
After the feast is over, his Wang family will naturally have a hundred ways to suppress this matter!
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Wang De's cloudy eyes.
Others knew he was shameless, but they didn't know what to say.
Even the food reporters did not dare to use their cameras for fear of offending the Wang family.
Wang De glanced around with a hint of pride.
Suddenly, his gaze stopped in a certain direction...
Xiao Cai was indignantly tapping away on her phone, preparing to tell her netizens about the gossip she had just heard.
Don't think she can see that Wang De is just taking advantage of his age!
Oh, old man, times have changed!
Get a taste of the Internet's iron fist!
Xiao Cai vowed to give the other person a hearty cyber-bullying.
At this moment, she felt the old man beside her move.
Xiao Cai paused:
"Old man, you..."
The old man had stood up and taken off his hat.
When he showed that face, both Wang De and many people present exclaimed in surprise.
"Peng, Master Peng!"
Although Peng Yusheng is also the chairman of the Chefs Association, the name he is most often addressed as is Master Peng.
Peng Yusheng smiled and nodded to everyone around him as a greeting.
Finally, his eyes fell on Wang De:
"I heard that, too. So, am I qualified to judge?"
Wang De's breath was choked.
After a long while, he shouted hoarsely:
"Brother Peng, why are you here?"
Peng Yusheng is older than him and entered the industry earlier than him. He had been taught by Wang Yongnian, but they did not have a formal master-disciple relationship.
But Wang De absolutely dare not underestimate Peng Yusheng. When it comes to the breadth of his network of contacts in the chef community, no one can compare to Peng Yusheng.
Not just because he is number one on the celebrity chef list right now.
It is also because he has been the chief chef for state banquets for many years and has represented the country abroad to communicate through food. Even many official media have followed and reported on his deeds for a long time and published his biography.
Peng Yusheng is the most famous chef in the industry, no doubt about it.
Although Wang Yongnian is known for his many students, he is not as famous as Peng Yusheng to the general public.
It can be said that not only in the list of famous chefs, Peng Yusheng is also the number one in Chinese cuisine today.
The weight of his words is far greater than that of Wang De!
If he helps Nanzhi and says that Nanpingshan is innocent and Wang De is slandering him, then the entire industry will follow his decision and plunge Wang De into the abyss!
The more Wang De thought about it, the more frightened and uneasy he became.
His face, which was as wrinkled as an old orange peel, no longer dared to show any fierce expression. Instead, it became extremely docile, and he even managed a little smile:
"So Senior Brother Peng is also here at today's feast. Why didn't you tell me earlier so I could go and greet you? Senior Brother Peng, when I went to visit my father the day before yesterday, he was still thinking about you and wanted you to go see him..."
Wang De used his old trick again and played the emotional card.
But Peng Yusheng didn't listen to him at all. He walked straight to Nanzhi, his eyes full of complexity and guilt:
"Sorry... This time I want to hear you talk about your grandfather. If he has been wronged, I will naturally help him clear it up." Nanzhi curled the corners of his mouth:
"Thank you."
Peng Yusheng knew that Nanzhi was resentful, blaming them for not conducting a thorough investigation and easily convicting her grandfather.
She had no problem complaining.
Even he didn't dare to say that he was completely innocent.
But now, he can only try his best to make up for it.
"I've heard almost everything that happened just now, so now I want to know what your request is."
very good!
As expected of Peng Yusheng, he got to the point right away and asked key questions!
Nanzhi was also very satisfied and said:
"It's very simple - first, I want Wang De and the entire Wang family to publicly apologize to my grandfather! Second, I want the Chefs Association to restore my grandfather's reputation and also publicly apologize to my grandfather! Third, I want my grandfather's Nanfeng Tower!"
Not to mention the other three, the first one alone is enough to blow Wang De away!
And the third one hit Wang De’s vital point!
Wang De was furious:
"Are you crazy? A public apology? I will never do that! I said I didn't slander Nanpingshan! And you want to take back Nanfeng Building? Do you know how much this small building is valued at now? You just open your mouth..."
"I kind of know. Because I have two buildings of similar size on the street next to mine, which were given to me by my parents. I think the price should be about the same."
Nanzhi laughed sarcastically.
Wang De was speechless for a moment, and his face was full of colors and excitement.
Many people who were listening attentively nearby laughed.
The street next door is closer to the center than this street and the prices are relatively higher.
Besides, everyone knows that Nanzhi has found her wealthy parents. One of them is named Qing and the other is named Fu. Both of them are super rich. They cherish their precious daughter so much that they have given her countless things. What are just two small buildings in a popular business district?
What Wang De said was pure laughter!
Wang De blushed:
"That, that also belongs to our Wang family. It was Nanpingshan who voluntarily compensated our Wang family..."
Speaking of this, Nanzhi couldn't help but pursed her lips.
I feel it's both funny and sour.
Because my grandfather once mentioned the gift of the building in his diary.
In fact, that was not the request of the Chefs Association. The most they could do was to remove Nan Pingshan from the list and express their dislike for him in the industry, preventing Nan Pingshan from participating in the ranking of famous chefs and delicacies.
But by then, Nanpingshan's fame had already spread, and countless diners from all over the world came for Nanpingshan himself, not for the number one on the celebrity chef list or the number one on the delicacies list.
Therefore, even if Nan Pingshan is unable to clarify the truth and chooses to shamelessly continue to run his Nanfeng Tower in Yanjing, there may be many colleagues talking and condemning him behind his back, but no one can stop him.
Nanpingshan himself was angry and felt that his faith had collapsed, so he gave up Nanfeng Tower in a fit of rage.
But he regretted it later.
I wrote in my diary in great annoyance:
"If I had known, I would have left it to my Zhizhi."
That happened shortly after her grandfather bought her a house in the provincial capital.
He used to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but now he is very particular about everything for his granddaughter, and he wants to bring the best things in the world to her...
Nanzhi felt extremely upset just thinking about him.
Grandpa, I wish you were here to watch this.
Watch me take back Nanfeng Tower for you.
