Hearing these words, Director Song was startled and quickly said, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect young friend Ye Feng to be so thoughtful. Thank you so much!"
After learning the value of the blue lobster from Zhu Yi, and hearing Ye Feng's words, Director Song's impression of Ye Feng improved greatly.
This was because others had gifted antiques like bottles and jars, trying to curry favor and create a good impression, preparing for future project bids.
But these people did not truly care about him, as they did not know he had long stopped collecting antiques, nor did they care about his illness.
Only Ye Feng truly cared for him, not only having learned about his condition beforehand but also gifting something targeted at his illness, and it was quite valuable.
Putting aside whether it could cure him, just the fact that he didn't follow the crowd and gift antique bottles and jars set him apart from eighty percent of the people.
Secondly, the value of the blue lobster Ye Feng gifted far exceeded that of ninety percent of the people present, with one costing over three million, and two costing six to seven million.
The weight of this gift was probably comparable only to what Sun Manzhu, from a trillion-dollar family, had gifted.
In fact, to Director Song, these gifts were not important. What was truly rare was Ye Feng's sincere concern for his health.
"You're welcome, it's what I should do!" Ye Feng said humbly.
At this moment, Ye Feng noticed Director Song's pale complexion and heard his slightly weak voice. He hurried to say, "By the way, with a culinary god like Zhu Yi here, let's have him cook these two blue lobsters to nourish you!"
Hearing this, Director Song chuckled, "No rush, no rush, there are already enough dishes today!"
However, Ye Feng knew that people like Director Song were not short of money, and the dishes were definitely sufficient.
But what he noticed was that Director Song's complexion and speech were not quite right. If it continued like this, Ye Feng estimated he might not be able to last through this gathering.
After all, he had just been discharged from the hospital, and his health had not improved; he was merely forcing himself.
Now that a culinary god like Zhu Yi was present, as long as he cooked it for Director Song to enjoy, Ye Feng believed that even if his health didn't fully recover, it would be enough for him to be energetic today.
"Director Song, since I've finished preparing the other dishes and have nothing else to do, I'll make one more," Zhu Yi also said at this moment.
He had long wanted to cook some seafood from Hai Shen Company, but he had never managed to get top-quality seafood, always having to give up.
Today, with such an opportunity, and with the finest ingredient, the blue lobster, he was also extremely eager and had long wanted to show off his skills.
At this moment, others also chimed in.
"Yes! Let Chef Zhu Yi cook one and show us!"
"Exactly! Since Boss Ye said it has a miraculous effect on the Director's condition, let everyone witness it!"
"Yes! This is the first time Hai Shen Company has presented top-quality seafood, the blue lobster. Let us see what its taste and efficacy are like!"
A group of people, not afraid of stirring up trouble, spoke up one after another.
Seeing this, Director Song reluctantly nodded and agreed, "Alright! Then I'll trouble young Zhu!"
"Not at all, not at all! Everyone, please continue chatting!" Zhu Yi said hurriedly.
With that, he quickly carried the two lobsters and headed straight for the kitchen.
Seeing him leave, the crowd resumed their casual conversation.
"Boss Ye, I've heard of you for a long time! But I've never had the chance to meet you!"
"Yes! The seafood from your company is truly amazing! The last time I went to Dongchuan City and tasted it, I couldn't eat or sleep properly for days afterward!"
"That's right, if that seafood is so delicious, then what level will the blue lobster reach in the hands of a culinary master like Chef Zhu Yi..."
For a moment, everyone chatted loudly.
However, the topic of conversation had suddenly shifted.
It all revolved around Ye Feng, the blue lobster, and Hai Shen Company.
This made Tang Zhiyang and Zhao Yanxuan's expressions turn quite grim.
"Hmph, aren't they just two lobsters of a different color? I'd like to see if they truly have the miraculous effect on Director Song's condition that Ye Feng claims!" Tang Zhiyang said abruptly.
Tang Zhiyang had been arrested and sent for re-education before the eight top-quality seafood items from Hai Shen Company were released.
Therefore, he had no idea how magical the seafood from Hai Shen Company was.
Thus, he was very skeptical when he heard Ye Feng's description of the blue lobster.
Beside him, Sun Manzhu, the young lady from a trillion-dollar family, also wore an unpleasant expression.
She had thought that her gift of a jade Buddha pendant worth nearly ten million would receive special attention, but she didn't expect Ye Feng to appear midway, which made her furious.
"Damn it, a miscalculation!" Sun Manzhu gritted her teeth.
Jiang Dong and Wang Teng, standing beside her, quickly asked, "Miss Sun, what should we do now?"
"No rush for now! Let him have the upper hand for the moment, but that's all! We are determined to win that project!" Sun Manzhu said in a low voice.
The two nodded upon hearing this, "Yes, we will follow your arrangements!"
After everyone had been chatting for about half an hour, a rich aroma suddenly permeated the entire hall.
"Wow, what a fragrant smell! This, what is this smell?"
"Huh, it's really fragrant! This smell, it smells like lobster!"
"Lobster? Huh? Could it be those two blue lobsters?"
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
Because the kitchen was still twenty to thirty meters away, and separated by several doors.
They could never have imagined that the smell could travel so far, it was simply incredible.
At this moment, they hadn't seen what the cooked lobster looked like, but they couldn't help but start salivating.
Because the smell was too appetizing, making it unbearable and causing their mouths to water.
At this time, their tables were not without dishes; on the contrary, there were many dishes, the ones that Zhu Yi had served earlier.
Before smelling the aroma of the lobster, they had found the dishes on the table very appetizing.
After all, they were dishes personally prepared by Chef Zhu Yi, far more delicious than those outside.
But after smelling the aroma of the blue lobster, and looking at the dishes on their tables again, they instantly lost their appetite.
"My goodness! Is this the top-quality seafood, the blue lobster from Hai Shen Company? Just smelling this aroma makes me feel refreshed!" Director Song said with astonishment.
It wasn't that he hadn't eaten delicious food; on the contrary, he had tasted almost everything, from delicacies of the mountains and seas, to those that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the sea.
But he had never smelled such a refreshing aroma.
Especially since his old illness had relapsed recently, causing him to lose his appetite and feel that everything tasted like chewing wax.
But now, he felt a sense of hunger, as if he couldn't wait to eat the dish emitting such a fragrance.
Ye Feng looked at the reactions of those around him with great satisfaction.
Let alone them, who had not tasted the top-quality seafood from Hai Shen Company much, even Ye Feng, as the boss who often ate Hai Shen Company's top-quality seafood, couldn't help but drool when he smelled the aroma of the blue lobster.
A few more minutes passed, and the aroma grew stronger, making everyone unable to resist getting up to check the kitchen.
However, at this moment, Zhu Yi and several chefs walked over with a large platter of food amidst the expectant gazes of everyone...
