Chapter 214: Chapter 214 The Final Challenge

The old professor was nearly moved to tears, grabbing Chen Yu's shoulders and shaking them incessantly.

In the end, he even gave Chen Yu many backdoors, signing most of the relevant documents in his hands.

This meant that while the underground tombs in the industrial park were being handled, Chen Yu could build his factory simultaneously.

Once the tomb clearance was complete, Chen Yu could almost immediately expand his factory on the basis of the original one.

After signing the contract, Xie Jiang took the workers directly to the site, but facing such a massive project, he still had to recruit several nearby construction teams.

Since partnering with Chen Yu, Xie Jiang's business had grown ever larger. He no longer planned on running his shop and decided to open a construction company instead.

After handing over all the blueprints to Xie Jiang, Chen Yu left the place.

After all, it wasn't their first collaboration, so Chen Yu didn't have any concerns.

In the eastern suburbs of Suzhou City, a group of individuals with plump figures congregated, each with a grave expression.

"Now the entire catering industry in Suzhou City has suffered a fatal blow, all taken over by that kid surnamed Chen."

"Isn't that the truth? Ever since the Food Association was liquidated, there has been no one to stand up for us."

"Every breakfast shop in Suzhou City, even the restaurants, now eighty percent are shut down. If this continues, we might not even be able to keep our own shops."

...

While everyone was discussing, an elderly man sitting in the seat of honor suddenly stood up.

"We can't go on like this, we need to send a few people to challenge that kid. I refuse to believe he can master every cuisine in the world."

The crowd nodded in agreement.

A matter between chefs had to be settled in a chef's way.

Chen Yu's shop had nearly monopolized the entire Suzhou City catering industry, to the point where many company canteens came to order braised dishes from him.

How could those who specialized in providing meals for companies or factory canteens accept this?

Even a lot of people had left Suzhou City.

"Chen Tian, Su Huan, you two are the best chefs here. Choose a few others to form a chef team and issue a challenge to that kid. It would be best to invite the big shots of Suzhou City to witness it."

Two middle-aged men, still rather handsome, stood up from the crowd, each taking out something that looked like a contract.

"Elder Guan, today the two of us brothers will sign this life-and-death statement right here. If we don't win this time, we will leave Suzhou City on our own."

Guan Chengshan hurriedly stepped forward to calm the two men down, "Things have gotten to this point, you don't need to torment yourselves like this. Besides, this time is just about claiming a last foothold for Suzhou City's culinary world. If you lose, we simply move to another place."

Chen Tian and Su Huan sighed helplessly; they didn't dare to sign any life-and-death statement.

After all, their assets were in Suzhou City. If they just left like that, the loss would be too great.

The two didn't say much more, only selecting a few chefs from the crowd, then sent the challenge document to the relevant departments in Suzhou City.

At this moment, Chen Yu was at Zhou Shengtao's place, helping him with a few portraits and picking up some related certifications.

His developed preservation technology had already been approved, and the remaining procedures had to be issued by Zhou Shengtao's side.

But when Chen Yu came to pick up the certifications, Zhou Shengtao held him up to work as labor.

"The portraits you requested have been drawn, but the specific features of two people weren't very clear, so they don't resemble very much."

Zhou Shengtao took the portraits, visibly excited as he patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

"Kid, the things you draw are always useable, and since we've caught the guy, your share of the reward will be given to you."

Chen Yu waved his hand dismissively, "That's not necessary, just having my pertinent certifications prepared will do."

Only then did Zhou Shengtao realize, and he hurriedly handed over the prepared documentation to Chen Yu.

"The items you're distributing are in high demand on the market; if you manage to achieve mass production, that would be a considerable business opportunity."

Chen Yu just smiled and nodded, not saying much.

As he was about to take the material and leave the place, two people rushed in, hustling and bustling.

"Captain Zhou, we're about to launch a challenge and need your department to bear witness. We hope you could sign off on some documents."

Zhou Shengtao frowned when he saw these two people.

"Launch a challenge? What are you trying to do?"

The two were startled and quickly pulled a challenge letter from their person.

"Please don't misunderstand, we just want to compete in culinary skills. Our object of challenge is none other than Chen Yu, who has been making waves in Suzhou City recently." Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Zhou Shengtao laughed out loud and then pointed to Chen Yu, standing beside him.

"I thought you were up to something else. This is the person you're looking for. If you want to issue a challenge, give it directly to him. Is my signature really necessary?"

The two were taken aback, sizing up Chen Yu, and then produced a photo from their possession to compare.

"It really is you! You've already caused catastrophic damage to our Suzhou City's catering industry. If we want to protect our business, we must challenge you. If you lose, please close your shop."

Such words sounded altogether too presumptuous.

Since ancient times, the catering industry has always relied on real strength to compete for market share.

The food from Chen Yu's shop is tasty, affordable, and healthy, and occasionally he introduces some medicinal dishes. Who wouldn't like that?

Moreover, the current situation reflects the choice of the masses in Suzhou City; it seems unfair to blame Chen Yu.

Zhou Shengtao also regarded the two men with an indescribable look.

In his view, firstly, Chen Yu had not violated any laws, and secondly, having helped the authorities solve so many cases, he was naturally inclined to stand by Chen Yu.

However, the expansion of Chen Yu's shop was indeed drastic, not only striking a blow to Suzhou City's dining industry but also leading to a large number of unemployed people.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shengtao's brow furrowed.

"Chen, what do you think? Will you accept their challenge?"

Chen Yu was somewhat helpless, as he had already faced many such challenges. But these two appeared to represent the last of Suzhou City's restaurants.

And seeing how serious the two of them were about it, Chen Yu agreed.

After signing the necessary documents, the two hurriedly left the place.

Chen Yu then handed his factory's planning blueprint to Zhou Shengtao.

"When my factory starts up, there will likely be a need for a large number of job positions. I'll need a lot of help from you in that regard!"
