Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1225: Imperial Chef

Xu Feng promptly apologized for his remark, which offended Serena.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean any offense." He said sincerely. He realized his reaction was overboard and indirectly insulted her skills.

For a chef, relying on MSG was the equivalent of requiring an aimbot in a FPS game to win the round.

Based on such a comparison, it was only natural that Serena didn’t accept his apology on the spot.

"You think just a simple apology can make up for your outspoken accusation?" Serena narrowed her eyes and questioned.

"What do you want?" Xu Feng sighed deeply.

"You already know what I want."

"Fine, I can teach you those skills in the Divine World, but you must promise me something."

"Hoh, what do you want me to promise?" Amused, Serena’s expression returned to normal. "It can’t be that you want me to offer myself to you? If that’s the case, then you have to work harder. At the very least, your cooking skills must be superior to mine."

"Nothing like that." He flatly denied her misunderstanding. "What I want is for you to continue to operate your stall and cook more varieties for the filming crew until the end of our production. Naturally, I will also pay you in accordance."

Having tasted her skewers and seeing the efficiency of the film crew has increased by at least 2 times, Xu Feng would be a fool to not retain her to work on a food stall that solely benefits the filming crew.

"You still want me to continue?" Frowning, Serena didn’t expect him to hold such a thought.

How many renowned restaurants and hotels wished to hire her as a chef?

Too many to count and to be remembered!

Moreover, each one of them offered a sky-high price to recruit her.

Despite this, she flatly rejected the majority of them unless they got some ancient recipe, technique, or ingredients that she required.

"If not, then why did you bother to open up a stall?" Xu Feng asked. It can’t be that her only goal was to attract attention and then use it as leverage to force him to comply, right?

"My goal’s been achieved, though." She responded honestly.

"Your goal?"

"Oh, please... stop acting ignorant. I know you’re not some dumb fool."

"..."

’Damn, the rich really know how to play.’ Xu Feng didn’t expect that she would really open up a stall for fun.

Poor consumers who wanted to line up for hours just to get a taste of her food.

If they realized they only got the chance because Serena did it on a whim to get him to submit, then they might really cry a river of tears.

No, they might even start to blame themselves for calling him out.

After all, as long as Xu Feng escaped from the scene, they would still have more time to patronize the stall.

"Sigh, since you aren’t willing to continue the stall, then I won’t keep you for long. Just pay me for the materials, and you can be on your way." He gave up trying to recruit her.

Someone like Serena cannot be recruited.

They were a free soul, unrestricted everywhere.

Not to mention, his cooking material obtained from the Divine World wasn’t some core secret.

Counting the time, the second major update was about to befall.

By then, the Divine World players would have nothing to do except watch their short drama that would release soon.

Although the date has been set, it was said that the editing team still requires some more time.

Apparently, there were too many great scenes, which caused the editing team to be filled with headaches.

They struggled to decide which scenes to include.

Some of them even proposed increasing the episode duration from 2 minutes to 10-15 minutes.

Unfortunately, Xu Feng didn’t dare to risk too much. It sounded like a simple increase in duration on the surface, but the implication behind it was far too huge.

Therefore, he could only promise them that if the reception were a rave, then he might green-light another drama with such duration.

It wasn’t that he wanted to be stingy, but the daily operation cost to film some scenes was extremely high.

Each day, he was literally burning money.

Hence, he might as well earn some money from Serena, given that she refused to continue her stall operation.

"I don’t mind paying for them." Serena readily agreed to this new arrangement.

Any problems that could be solved by money were no problems at all.

"Okay, I’ll draft an electronic contract now." Xu Feng retrieved his phone and began opening the numerous template contracts he had saved.

After some modification, the contract was done.

"It’s ready. Give me your email or some social media contact to send you the contract."

"That fast?" Startled, Serena glanced at him suspiciously. "Are you sure you didn’t add some random clause in the contract? Or are you trying to scam me?"

"Wouldn’t you find out once we exchanged some contact information?"

"You have a point there."

Sometime later, Serena decided to exchange phone numbers. Once she received the contract, her eyes squinted slightly.

She was definitely going to read through the contract from top to bottom.

If he dared to pull some hidden tricks, then she wouldn’t mind committing a violent crime today.

Alas, her worries were unfounded.

"Just this one page?" Serena twitched her mouth in disbelief. One page was an overstatement. It was merely three simple sentences.

"Why make it so complicated?" Xu Feng chuckled in amusement. "A contract should just be simple and concise. Only those bastards from top companies love to have 50-plus pages to do some sly tricks."

Nodding, Serena truly learned something new today.

"Hmm, seeing how sincere you are. I don’t mind cooking some dishes for the main actors."

"What’s your catch?" Instantly, Xu Feng put his guards up.

A scheming woman like her, who could manipulate the crowd, was definitely no easy person to deal with.

"Hah, you really know me well. Nothing much, just let me be an imperial chef in your short drama. It’s just nice, I can use it as publicity to request more things from a broader audience."
