Chapter 744: Chapter 558: Failing to Show Off, Ending Up a Wage Slave

Qingqing and Weiwei simultaneously lifted their faces at the conclusion of Liu Ruihan’s words, their clear and resolute gaze focused intently on Liu Ruihan like spotlights.

Their expressions revealed an unshakeable conviction, as if silently conveying a message through their eyes: "You can doubt our character, but you must never doubt my dad’s culinary skills."

With unwavering certainty, Qingqing excitedly said, "My daddy will definitely be like a magician, using these spatulas to create teppanyaki that’s beautiful and delicious!"

Weiwei followed, her little head nodding repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, he definitely will!"

The moment those words fell!

As if telepathically connected, they turned their heads in perfect harmony, their eyes filled with complete trust and anticipation toward Huang Jun, and asked in unison, "Daddy, you will, right!"

This confidence stems from their profound admiration for their dad, because in their little world, dad is the culinary god who can turn any dish into a mouth-watering masterpiece.

Therefore!

Daddy is undoubtedly capable!

Meanwhile.

The Liu Shiwei couple and Yang Yuxi’s family were equally captivated by the children’s innocent words, their expectant gaze directed at Huang Jun.

Liu Shiwei couldn’t contain his curiosity any longer and eagerly said: "Brother Huang, this must be a piece of cake for you, right? You handle cooking effortlessly every time, and the dishes you make are praised endlessly. This teppanyaki should be a breeze for you, right?"

Yang Deyi, hearing this, nodded with a smile and continued: "That’s right, Chef Huang, I’ve always been utterly impressed by your cooking skills. Whether it’s simple stir-fry or a grand feast, you make everything so flavorful and memorable. I’m certain you can easily handle this teppanyaki."

Wen Xueqian, standing by, her eyes glowing with anticipation, gently chimed in: "Yes, Huang Jun, you always surprise us. Whether it’s your ingredient pairing or cooking techniques, they’re always eye-opening. This teppanyaki won’t be any different."

Just then, the teppanyaki chef inadvertently overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but pause.

He truly hadn’t expected this young man to be part of the culinary world. From their conversation, he could clearly sense this young man’s remarkable culinary skills.

However!

The gentleman before him seemed too young. No matter how much he sized him up, he couldn’t align him with the image of a seasoned chef.

Why is it that the opposite side’s appearance diverges so much from the chef image he knew?!

This led.

His mind to raise a question: So young, can he really possess such advanced culinary skills?

This thought wasn’t unfounded.

After all, the patrons here were typically affluent individuals, accustomed to lavish praises in commercial settings, often embellishing their words.

Therefore!

He always held a reserved and cautious attitude towards praises exchanged by customers.

Besides, he harbored a deeper doubt: even if the gentleman was indeed a chef, could a chef who excels in Chinese cuisine really master teppanyaki seamlessly?

After all, Chinese cuisine and teppanyaki differ significantly in cooking methods, seasoning, and ingredient selection, a gap not easily bridged by merely the title of "chef."

The transition and integration of skills often require prolonged exploration and practice, not something achieved overnight...

Yang Yuxi, although silent, let her gaze softly fall on Huang Jun, filled with unwavering trust in his culinary prowess, confident that he could shine in the teppanyaki realm.

Simultaneously, a video she once saw online of a teppanyaki chef drawing an arrow through a heart with eggs flashed in her mind...

The exquisite skill and romantic creativity drew her admiration.

She couldn’t help but imagine, if Huang Jun could make her such a teppanyaki, how romantic and magnificent it would be!

Sitting next to Yang Yuxi, Shu Meiling, noticed her daughter’s nearly obsessive gaze, her previously subdued worries resurfacing quietly.

Thus...

She couldn’t resist lightly nudging Yang Yuxi with her elbow to avoid losing composure in front of everyone.

Sadly, Yang Yuxi, immersed in her pleasant imagination, didn’t immediately notice her mother’s gentle gesture.

Helplessly...

Shu Meiling could only sigh softly, turn to Yang Yuxi’s ear, and whisper: "Xiaoxi, stop staring, there’s nothing to watch, the dish will taste bad if it gets cold."

"Oh..."

Yang Yuxi seemed startled awake from a dream, her gaze touched by her mother’s serious and deep expression, stirring a little panic within her, then bashfully lowered her eyes to savor the remaining foie gras in her bowl.

Facing the children’s eager gazes and Liu Shiwei’s inquiries, Huang Jun humbly shook his head with a smile, saying: "Cooking Chinese dishes, I am at ease, but teppanyaki, I really haven’t tried it yet. If you suddenly want me to do it, I might not compare with those professional teppanyaki chefs."

Hearing this, Liu Shiwei promptly jokingly said: "Oh? So, Brother Huang, you can still do it, just maybe not at professional level?"
