Chapter 35: Blind Confidence Was Really Scary

Although the menu was also important, it was like a foil to the opening ceremony. Qu Xiaoman could not even smile fakely this time. However, she did not want to give up just like that. She looked up at Qu Xiaowan. “Big Sister, if you host the opening ceremony, will Brother-in-law come?”

Qu Xiaowan looked up at her. His Majesty and the Empress would definitely not come. Although Jing Yu was also from the royal family and the First Commander, he also had another identity now, which was Qu Xiaowan’s husband. Until now, everyone still thought that there was something going on with Qu Xiaowan and Commander Jing’s marriage.

Qu Xiaoman was the first to not believe it. She did not believe that the Chinese War God would take a fancy to a sickly person like Qu Xiaowan! Hence, she smiled innocently and said, “Brother-in-law will definitely come when the time comes. Big Sister is hosting the opening ceremony. Even if he doesn’t have time to come personally, he will send a projection, right?”

Qu Xiaowan was puzzled. “Qu Xiaoman, I realized that you seem to be interested in your Brother-in-law?”

The fake smile on Qu Xiaoman’s face was about to break again.

Qu Zhen hurriedly said, “Xiaoman is also thinking for the restaurant. If Commander Jing is free, please trouble him to come. This is beneficial to the Qu Family’s restaurant.”

Qu Xiaowan said calmly, “I’ll ask if he’s free.”

Qu Zhen nodded and did not ask further.

Qu Xiaoman, who thought that she had got Qu Xiaowan into big trouble, left happily with Qu Teng. Qu Zhen went to do other things.

Qu Xiaowan walked to Old Master’s side and filled his cup with tea calmly.

Old Master Qu said, “Xiaowan, the person who creates difficulties for you will improve you.”

Qu Xiaowan smiled and said, “Grandpa, I understand, but they should go to a corner to rest after I become stronger, right?”

Old Master Qu could see the ambition in his granddaughter’s eyes. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Your father should retire by then.”

Qu Xiaowan smiled sweetly. “Grandpa, I’ll work hard!”

Old Master Qu was initially quite satisfied with his son. Otherwise, he would not have let his son take over the management of Qu’s Restaurant for so many years. However, Qu Zhen had been deliberately nurturing Qu Xiaoman in the past few years, making Old Master very unhappy. It was fine when Xiaowan had been in a coma previously, but now that Xiaowan had recovered, how could he only have his adopted daughter in his heart?

Old Master Qu sighed. “I can’t interfere if your father makes a mistake in his relationships, but he’s not the one in charge of Qu’s Restaurant!”

Of course, Old Master Qu was not a blind person. He had to test his granddaughter’s ability to take over the restaurant. This branch was the first test.

Old Master Qu took a sip of tea and said slowly, “If the facts prove that you’re not as capable as Qu Xiaoman, I won’t be able to help you. Xiaowan, I won’t watch Qu’s Restaurant go downhill. Can you understand me?”

Qu Xiaowan nodded obediently. “Grandpa, I understand. Don’t worry!”

Qu Xiaoman felt that she could get Qu’s Restaurant just because she had made a plan and bribed people? Dream on!

Qu Xiaowan decided to let go of the relationship between her parents. She would support her mother no matter what decision she made!

Qu Xiaowan quickly found out everything about the branch and even checked the sales of the nearby restaurants online and the taste preferences of the residents of Star District One. When she went to the kitchen to check, Qu Teng was teaching Qu Xiaoman to stir-fry green pepper potato shreds.

Potatoes were a very easy food to grow. They were filling and could make many patterns, so they were deeply loved by everyone.

Qu Xiaoman had mastered the basic cooking method, but because of a problem with the control of the heat, the shredded potatoes were soft.

Qu Xiaoman was a little depressed and said dejectedly, “I’m too lousy.”

Qu Teng comforted her. “It’s alright. You’ve already done very well. You just have to practice more with the fire. No matter what, as long as you know how to cook, you’re better than Xiaowan!”

Qu Xiaoman became happy again when she heard Qu Teng’s words.

Qu Xiaowan sneered and turned to leave. Blind confidence was terrifying.

She busied herself for a full two hours before she sorted out all the information. However, there was still a taste check for the District One’s citizens, so she could not instantly confirm the menu for the opening day. The pricing of the dishes had to be based on the prices of the other branches. Of course, it would also be decided based on the spending power of the residents of District One as well.

District One had the royal family, the military district, and the various nobles. The higher the price, the higher the requirements!

While Qu Xiaowan was busy with the opening ceremony, Jing Yu returned to the cold mansion after finishing his military affairs. He looked at Azure Dragon and asked, “Where’s Madam?”

Azure Dragon: “I sent Madam to Qu’s Restaurant. She might be at Qu’s Restaurant now or she might have returned to school.”
