Chapter 8
Jiang Yan’s temper was originally bad, and in this situation, his tone became even more unpleasant.
Zhang Xue was scolded by him to the point of blushing, but she didn’t dare to retort. After all, the person behind him was a big shot.
【Hahaha, Zhang Xue keeps getting slapped in the face; what’s up with that?】

【Master Mu Xuanlong is a top-notch figure, the biggest of the big shots. How did Cheng Zhaozhao get so lucky?】
【You’re so sour; she relies on her skills, okay?】
…
Faced with Mu Xuanlong’s invitation, Cheng Zhaozhao naturally had no objections. She smiled and said, “Sure.”
After completing the task left by her master, Jiang Yan also breathed a sigh of relief and continued cooking in the kitchen.
After he left, the atmosphere at the dining table became very strange.
Xu Ren and Zhang Xue, who had been talking incessantly in Cheng Zhaozhao’s ear just a moment ago, suddenly closed their mouths as if they had swallowed a fly.
Zhang Xue couldn’t understand why things had turned out like this. Clearly, she was the one who should have been recognized by the master, but in the end, it was Cheng Zhaozhao who received the invitation.
Even the system was shocked by Cheng Zhaozhao’s actions and couldn’t speak for a long time. It felt like its values had been challenged.
Was there really something in this world that could earn recognition from a big shot without bootlicking?
However, regardless of whether Zhang Xue and Xu Ren spoke or not, Cheng Zhaozhao didn’t care at all. She just glanced at the two of them mockingly and continued to savor her food.
As her gaze fell on them, the two of them inexplicably lowered their heads.
Cheng Zhaozhao chatted with Jiang Yan while eating, discussing the aspects of the dishes that were not satisfactory and occasionally complimenting him. As a result, she and Jiang Yan unexpectedly enjoyed their conversation, while Xu Ren and Zhang Xue became the ones unable to join in.
【Hahaha, the situation has completely turned around. What’s this? It’s called reaping what you sow!】
【If you didn’t intentionally ignore Sister Zhao just now, she might have been able to talk to the big shot with you guys.】
【Cheng Zhaozhao’s gaze seems to be saying: Continue? Why aren’t you talking anymore? Maximum level of mockery!】
【It’s so satisfying; the confident guy and the flirty girl are completely locked down!】
After finishing the meal, Jiang Yan took the initiative to ask for Cheng Zhaozhao’s contact information, hoping to receive her guidance in the future. Meanwhile, the other two seemed as dejected as wilted eggplants.
When the three of them returned to the villa together, the others sensed that something was off between them.
Weren’t Xu Ren and Zhang Xue having a good time chatting earlier? Why did they come back with their heads hanging low?
And Cheng Zhaozhao was chatting so well with Master Jiang?
During the game, the guests were not allowed to use their phones, so they had no idea what had happened earlier.
It wasn’t until the production team announced the end of the game and everyone returned to their rooms to retrieve their phones that they saw what had happened in the restaurant.
Qin Qinle laughed heartily and sent Cheng Zhaozhao a voice message in her room: “Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. I can’t believe that bastard Xu Ren actually wanted to ignore you. He won’t be able to get away with it now, right?”
On the other hand, Xu Ren, after getting his phone, saw the message his father sent before the game started, urging him to get close to Jiang Yan and, if possible, make connections with Master Mu Xuanlong to gain entry to the Moon Hidden Pavillion opening event.
Just as he finished browsing, his father sent a few more messages.
【I’ve never raised such a useless thing like you!】
【You’ve completely disgraced our Xu family!】
【Take a look at the family group chat!】
Xu Ren opened the family group chat and saw several mocking messages from their relatives, who had always been at odds with their family.
He held his phone as the abusive comments from netizens and the sarcastic remarks from relatives flashed through his mind. For a moment, Xu Ren didn’t know how to react.
What did he do wrong, after all?
Why did Cheng Zhaozhao get all the benefits?
Endless resentment flashed in his eyes.
**
After the broadcast of the third episode of “Sweet Moments with Her,” Cheng Zhaozhao became a hot topic again.

#XuRenPettyMan#
…
Many people were amazed by Cheng Zhaozhao’s actions, and discussions about her grew increasingly popular. Her fan base also skyrocketed.
Chengxin Entertainment.
Cheng Zhaozhao’s manager, Sister He, looked at the constantly increasing backstage data. Her email kept chiming with notifications, all from various brands and a few web drama directors offering collaborations.
She felt a bit floaty.
Could it be that there would be a day when Cheng Zhaozhao contributed to her performance?
It was truly mystical.
“Sweet Moments with Her” aired three days a week, and they hadn’t even started filming the next episode, but the opening ceremony of Hidden Moon Pavillion was already underway.
After Mu Xuanlong asked Jiang Yan to relay the message, he even sent her a special invitation, which showed how much he valued her.
Following the time indicated on the invitation, Cheng Zhaozhao arrived at the venue.
The outdoor decoration of Hidden Moon Pavillion drew inspiration from ancient elements of China combined with modern structures, giving it a sophisticated and distinctive look.
The venue was filled with guests, including many familiar faces from the news. However, Mu Xuanlong seemed to want to keep the publicity to a minimum and only invited a few top media outlets from the northern city with whom he had a good relationship.
Cheng Zhaozhao wore a light purple woolen dress today, draped in a grayish-white fur coat. Her curly black hair fell on her shoulders, neither overly ostentatious nor neglecting the importance of this event.
When Cheng Zhaozhao arrived, the official event hadn’t started yet, so she followed the waiter into the restaurant and waited.
She found an empty table and sat down, enjoying a mousse dessert.
Hidden Moon Pavillion truly lived up to its reputation as Mu Xuanlong’s most famous restaurant. Even the mousse was meticulously made, with a pale pink cream that tasted exceptional. It had rose petals inside, giving off a fragrant aroma. Eating it felt like going on a date with an exquisite and elegant lady.
Many people discreetly glanced at Cheng Zhaozhao. The cut of her dress accentuated her figure, and her slender waist was partially concealed by her coat, creating an alluring illusion.
But her beauty made people hesitant to approach, fearing they might disturb it.
However, there are always some people lacking tact.
While Cheng Zhaozhao was enjoying her delicious treat, a voice with a frivolous tone came from beside her: “Miss, may I know your name?”
She looked up and saw a man wearing a suit, slicking back his hair, and sporting gold-rimmed glasses. He seemed to think he looked handsome, but unfortunately, those glasses didn’t suit him and instead gave him a sense of inexplicable absurdity.
“Do you have something to say?” she asked.
The slick-haired man revealed what he thought was a charming smile: “To be honest, I’ve fallen in love with you at first sight, Miss.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhaozhao paused and responded with a disdainful smile, “Love at first sight?”
She enunciated each word slowly, tinged with a playful tone.
Her smile made her even more beautiful, especially her bright and captivating eyes.
The slick-haired man was captivated by those eyes and affectionately replied, “Yes, the moment I saw you, I fell in love. Can I have your contact information?”
“Love?” Cheng Zhaozhao seemed to have heard something extraordinary: “You say you love me?”
The slick-haired man felt that her tone was a bit off, but he still nodded, somewhat dazed, “Yes.”
Cheng Zhaozhao seemed to think of something amusing. She leaned back slightly and said, “Well then, I must clarify that I have a terrible temper. If you want to date me, you must unconditionally go along with my wishes, even if I’m wrong.”
The slick-haired man didn’t expect things to escalate to this level so quickly. He felt a sense of unreality but still answered decisively, “Of course.”
“My feet easily get tired. After we get married, the house must have top-notch carpets made by skilled craftsmen, woven from pure silk, with a price of 15,000 yuan per square meter.”
“As for daily flowers, I only want those flown in from abroad. I have delicate tastes in flowers. If they’re plucked for more than half an hour, they lose their freshness.”
“And ordinary chefs can’t satisfy my palate. My chef must achieve a perfect balance of flavors. I’m picky about food. Even if there’s a gram more of seasoning in a dish, I can taste it.”
“Furthermore, I have high expectations for the household staff. They must be experienced and understand my preferences, capable of adapting according to my whims. And of course, as my husband, you must also be skilled in cooking. Can you fulfill all of these requirements?”
