"Xia Tian, these are the contestants you will meet in the next main competition. I will send you the list now."
As soon as Nakiri Senzaemon finished speaking, Xia Tian received a document in his mobile mailbox. When he opened it, he found not only the list of contestants, but also their detailed information. Looking at the information in front of him, Xia Tian couldn't help but sigh.
, as expected, contestants with capital backing are happy.
Although this doesn't matter to me, it would be different if it were someone else. "Information will arrive first before the three armies are moved." This sentence also applies to cooking. For chefs of the same level, you know your opponent better than others.
You may have a better chance of winning than others.
"Keita Shibata is good at French cuisine... Yoshiki Mori, a senior chef of noodle dishes, is also a Totsuki graduate. Hey, the commander-in-chief also met me."
Xia Tian's laughter did not cause any movement from Nakiri Senzaemon. The phone was still quiet, which made Xia Tian, who originally wanted to see the old man lose his temper, a little disappointed.
Seeing this, he could only continue to look down.
"Eamonn Alison, Yuki Hirayama, eh..."
Suddenly, Xia Tian couldn't help but let out a sigh when he saw a name, his heart moved, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Commander, I seem to have heard this person's name somewhere, and it seems to be exactly the same as the last name of one of our top ten heroes. Am I thinking too much?"
After Xia Tian finished speaking, Nakiri Senzaemon on the other side of the phone did not speak. It took a long time before he heard him say:
"Yes, it is indeed him, the contemporary head of their family."
"Oh, sure enough, I met an acquaintance. Do you want me to let him go?"
Xia Tian raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile on his face.
"No need, this time he was invited by someone else, and he is also my enemy."
Nakiri Senzaemon's expression remained unchanged, and there was no emotion in his voice. But Xia Tian didn't want to let him go like this, and said in a strange tone:
"Really? I thought this person would be on our side because of our top ten heroes, but I didn't expect that he turned into an enemy. You can't do that, Commander."
At this time, even the stupid one could hear that there was something in Xia Tian's words, not to mention the always cunning Nakiri Senzaemon. He frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Okay, Xia Tian, what do you want to say? Don't beat around the bush, just say it!"
"Haha~"
Xia Tian chuckled, and then said straight to the point:
"Commander, don't you think the presence of such a powerful person in my group will double my pressure? I always feel so uncomfortable."
"Do you care about this..."
Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. If he didn't know Xia Tian's strength, he might understand Xia Tian's pressure. After all, the family with this name is a well-known culinary family in the entire Neon, but when he knew
After seeing Xia Tian's true strength, especially after witnessing that pastry cooking showdown at the top of the world, Nakiri Senzaemon felt that everything Xia Tian just said was a joke.
"Of course I care. After all, that's a character with all the neon lights. And I'm just a student at school. I also run an unknown small restaurant at home. You think I can't be here..."
"Tell the important point!"
Seeing that Xia Tian was about to chatter again, Nakiri Senzaemon interrupted impatiently.
"Well, I want an appearance fee, so I have to pay more!!"
"But isn't the competition prize 100 million? You still want to..."
Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he was meeting Xia Tian for the first time.
Hearing Nakiri Senzaemon's surprised tone, Xia Tian also said unceremoniously:
"You also said that it is a bonus and I deserve it. Besides..."
At this point, Xia Tian paused and said lightly: "Besides, it's still unknown who will win. How can you be so sure that I can get the first place? This competition is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Maybe I will fail this time."
Woolen cloth!"
Threat! Naked threat!!
"you you you……"
Nakiri Senzaemon was so angry that he couldn't even say anything. He had never seen such a shameless person. This was clearly just raising the price, but Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't refuse, so he had to suffer the loss of being dumb. After all,
The initiative lies in Xia Tian's hands.
"alright, I got it!"
In the end, Nakiri Senzaemon could only sigh and compromise. Xia Tian suddenly showed a smile. Knowing that the old man had relented, he rubbed his hands with some excitement and said carefully:
"Well, some of my friends are coming to Tokyo and want to cheer me on. As you know, having friends cheering for you on the field will definitely give me a friendship buff, so..."
"Tell the important point!"
Nakiri Senzaemon's deep voice sounded again, and Xia Tian laughed twice and continued:
"Well, my friends may come in a hurry, so can you arrange some rooms for them in this hotel..."
After finishing speaking, Xia Tian waited for the old man's reply, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Nakiri Senzaemon's voice, and suddenly he felt a little uneasy.
Because if the old man really doesn't want to pay for him, Xia Tian really has nothing to do. This competition is not only for Nakiri Senzaemon's plan, but also to complete his own mission. So after not getting a response from the old man for a long time, Xia Tian
So I decided to lower my requirements.
"The commander-in-chief actually doesn't necessarily need a room like mine..."
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nakiri Senzaemon's laughter.
"Haha~!! This is what you want, really..."
Hearing Nakiri Senzaemon's laughter, Xia Tian suddenly became unhappy and shouted:
"What's not allowed?"
You really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a rich man. How can a capitalist like you know what a humble citizen like him wants?
"No, no, it's nothing, it's nothing, okay, absolutely okay. Just let your friends stay in the hotel. I will bear all the expenses."
Nakiri Senzaemon breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly felt a little funny for himself.
"Sure enough, he is still just a child!!"
Nakiri Senzaemon couldn't help but sigh, but he was still afraid that Xia Tian would regret it, so he quickly agreed.
"Okay, since there's nothing else, let's do this. I have some meetings to hold later. Goodbye!"
After saying that, before Xia Tian could answer, he hung up the phone directly. At the same time, he secretly made a decision in his heart. He would hand over all the next game arrangements to his secretary for communication...
On the other side, Xia Tian was slightly stunned when she saw the phone being hung up, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
