Chapter 157: Chapter 157 The Final Ultimatum

Actually, if you really break it down, the cost of making this kind of fish fillet is a mere two yuan, and even five yuan a piece felt a bit expensive to Chen Yu.In Chen Yu's view, so-called gourmet food should be delicious enough that the average person can afford to eat it.

The same dish, casually priced at several hundred, even thousands, or tens of thousands, serves no purpose other than inflating one's own status.

It could even make customers turn away.

The most famous Peking duck and steamed buns in Suzhou City borrowed their so-called ancient fame to set prices unaffordable to ordinary people.

This caused a crisis, and in just a few short months, more than half of their branches had shut down.

Since the people of Tianfu Street insisted on opposing him, Chen Yu decided to cut the price of the fish fillet directly.

Before long, amidst everyone's praises, this kind of fish fillet completely took off.

The self-media sent by Tianfu Street also became free advertising machines.

Former regular customers flocked to buy it, treating it as a little snack after their meals.

Suzhou City Tianfu Tower.

A corpulent man paced back and forth in his office with his hands behind his back.

"Where did this guy come from? How did he come to know the secret recipe of our signature dish?"

The others beside him were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe.

The former master chef looked devastated as he sat there, appearing somewhat dazed.

Just then, a secretary rushed into the office in a flurry.

"Mr. Wu, I've found out. This man is named Chen Yu, the owner of Yuya Bansheng Park. He has participated in many world-class competitions and has the title of a special-grade chef."

Those present were stunned for a moment, especially Wu Qiangsen.

Having run Tianfu Street for so many years, he never imagined such a thing could happen.

A special-grade chef who had participated in world-class competitions possessed an energy that was completely incomparable to that of a chain hotpot restaurant owner like himself.

If the chef wished, it wouldn't be just about knocking down the price of his signature dish; it would be effortless to reduce the prices of all the dishes in his restaurant.

"Quick, tell those self-media people to pull back immediately and delete all the videos they've taken."

Wu Qiangsen knew all too well that Chen Yu was someone he couldn't afford to provoke.

The secretary next to him didn't dare delay, hurrying to call the self-media staff outside.

After pacing in the hall a few more times, Wu Qiangsen suddenly rushed to the master chef, pointing at his nose and cursing furiously.

"It's all your fault, you just had to provoke such a person. Even if we sell all of your shares, we can't compensate for our losses."

The master chef looked up, his eyes filled with anger.

"My fault? I was simply trying to learn from them normally; if you hadn't sent a bunch of self-media to cause trouble at their doorstep, why would they target you?"

Wu Qiangsen was left speechless and could only gesture to his subordinates to go buy some gifts.

All that remained was to go and offer an apology.

If they truly provoked a full-on response, Tianfu Street, which he'd operated his entire life, might go bankrupt completely.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the customers at Chen Yu's store gradually dispersed.

The staff, along with three chefs, prepared the staff meal and cleaned up together.

Although the fish fillet was a new addition, sales of other categories had not dropped at all.

Moreover, during the day, the self-media that had been surrounding this place had disappeared without a trace.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business, today's net profit is 2,085,600 yuan, earning points totaling 2,085,600, with a current cumulative total of 10,058,480 points]

Chen Yu was immediately a bit excited; it seemed that adding a fish fillet had significantly increased the sales, and now he had enough points to upgrade the system.

Without hesitation, he chose to upgrade on the system page.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the system upgrade, the current system has reached version 2.0]

[The host can now communicate with the system without any barriers]

Chen Yu was taken aback for a moment. Was this the only feature?

After spending 10 million points to upgrade the system, all he got was a privilege to communicate with the system without barriers. Sёarch* The ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chen Yu felt somewhat gloomy, his face growing a bit grim.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Tong Ya suddenly hugged Chen Yu from behind.

"It's nothing, just went over today's accounts briefly."

Chen Yu fobbed her off with a sentence and sat down to have dinner with everyone.

Right at this moment, a few commercial vehicles suddenly stopped in front of the shop, and a group of people hurried in, including the previous Chef Jin.

The man leading them swept a glance over the shop and set his eyes on Chen Yu.

"This must be Mr. Chen Yu!"

As he spoke, the man placed a gift box on the table.

"My name is Wu Qiangsen, the chairman of Tianfu Small Street. There was a bit of a misunderstanding between our chef and you before, and today I specifically came to apologize."

Chen Yu frowned: "There seems to be no misunderstanding between Chef Jin and me, but Mr. Wu, scheming against me behind my back, is something I take to heart."

As he spoke, Chen Yu picked up a piece of fish fillet. "I recall that Tianfu Small Street has many signature dishes. I wonder if these dishes, if cooked by my hand, might taste a bit better than yours?"

Wu Qiangsen's body trembled violently: "Mr. Chen is a world-class master chef, no matter what dish he makes, it would surely be top-notch! Our small establishment can only hope for mercy from Mr. Chen."

Chen Yu put down the fish fillet, giving Wu Qiangsen a cold glance.

If this had been before, Chen Yu might not have lowered himself to the other's level.

But ever since he had been granted abilities by the system, he noticed that his personality had undergone a subtle change.

He not only had to do many things but also had to follow through to the end.

"My hand isn't that precious; it can't lift up high. Since Mr. Wu had the guts to have the self-media spread rumors about me and smear my name, you must have prepared for bankruptcy!"

Wu Qiangsen's pupils dilated abruptly, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Mr. Chen, I truly realize my mistake, this box contains a gold medal I specially made for you, please accept it with a smile."

Chen Yu chuckled and pushed the box back.

"I really don't lack for such things, but seeing how sincere you are, I might just give you a chance."

Hope flashed in Wu Qiangsen's eyes as he looked at Chen Yu eagerly.

But to his surprise, Chen Yu simply stretched out three fingers.

"You have three days to prepare, after three days, I will put together a series of plans targeting Tianfu Small Street!"

Wu Qiangsen felt as if he'd been struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day, completely stunned in place.

This wasn't an opportunity at all; it was clearly an ultimatum.
