Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Fully Occupying the Market

Victor spoke at length about the Queen Elsa again before leaving Chen Yu's room.However, when he left, he ended up leaving behind what he had earlier.

The intent was now clear. He wanted Chen Yu to represent the William family in the competition.

Chen Yu didn't give it much thought and simply took the invitation, given that he also had some binding business interests with William's family; he really had to attend the competition.

Moreover, his factory's products were gradually entering the Western market. If he could shine at this competition, he might even open up some sales channels for his products.

The next morning, the entire William's family was on the highest alert. All personnel who were outside returned, and a plethora of bodyguards continuously patrolled the ancient castle.

And these bodyguards were different from before, every one of them fully armed as if it was the apocalypse.

Chen Yu sat on the balcony, absorbed in his own world, drinking wine, admiring the distant scenery. The views inside and outside the castle really had their own unique charm.

At that moment, Katherine carefully walked up carrying a few plates and then placed them in front of Chen Yu.

On the plates were all sorts of precooked dishes made from ingredient packs.

Chen Yu was surprised. According to the factory's current pace, it would take at least a month to transport these ingredient packs and precooked dishes here. Yet, they had already arrived at William's family.

After trying a bite with chopsticks, Chen Yu nodded with a smile.

"It seems that the first batch of goods has already been delivered to William's family!"

Katherine happily sat down and took a bite as well.

"It's not just the first batch. Half of the previous orders have been fulfilled."

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; it seemed that after the industrial park had achieved industrialization, the efficiency had more than doubled.

Katherine didn't know what was going on either. She seemed extremely excited while eating.

"Mr. Chen, did you know? The first time I tried Chinese food, I fell in love with the flavor, but then it was hard to come by such taste. Now, it's great. You just need to boil these packs in a pot to make delicious Chinese food."

Chen Yu didn't say much. Moreover, he only took a couple of bites before he put down his chopsticks. Precooked dishes, after all, were not freshly cooked meals, and the taste was somewhat different.

Even if the preservation techniques inside were developed after a lot of time and effort, it was, after all, preservation—bound to affect the taste of the food to some extent.

"If you want to eat these in the future, just go directly to Suzhou City. I have a shop there where you can eat whatever you like."

Katherine immediately became excited, and just as she was about to speak, a bodyguard hurried over.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Victor is asking for you right away. He says there's an urgent matter to discuss with you."

Chen Yu nodded and quickly got up, hurrying after him. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Soon after, Chen Yu arrived at an underground location led by the bodyguard. This place seemed extremely small and secretive, but relatively speaking, the space was quite large.

As soon as he walked in, Chen Yu smelled an extremely pungent scent of blood, mixed with a bitter taste. It looked like someone had been poisoned.

Seeing Chen Yu enter the room, Victor hastily stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

"Mr. Chen, please, you must save this man, he's brought back critical intelligence! It's a matter of life and death for the entire William's family,"

Chen Yu glanced sideways and saw a middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed, breathing faintly, his skin all over turned black, even his eyes had become blood-red.

Chen Yu didn't say much and quickly stepped forward to check the man's pulse.

From a Western medicine perspective, this person was already devoid of vital signs, yet his body still retained a trace of warmth.

But from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, he was merely in a state of suspended animation.

Chen Yu hurriedly took out a set of silver needles and began inserting them into various acupoints on the middle-aged man's body, turning him into a porcupine in no time. Meanwhile, he also prescribed a herbal formula and instructed Katherine to fetch the medicine.

Ever since Chen Yu had come to William's family, Victor had someone prepare a room for Chinese herbs, collecting almost all kinds of traditional Chinese medicinal materials available in the world.

Even some of the rarest could be found here.

Before long, Katherine brought over two bowls as Chen Yu had requested: one contained some crushed dry herbs, and the other half a bowl of herbal decoction.

Chen Yu checked the contents of the two bowls, then ground those crushed licorice pieces into a finer powder and applied it to the wounds on the man's body, while the decoction was fed directly to him.

Not long after, the man who had been without breath miraculously came to, and the wounds on his body began healing at a visibly rapid rate.

The crowd in the room was instantly agitated, and Victor eagerly stepped forward to grasp the middle-aged man's shoulder.

"How do you feel? Did you bring back the intelligence from the Queen Elsa?"

The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva and then retrieved an envelope from his person. The envelope, crafted from pure gold leaf, looked quite impressive.

Victor hastily opened it and found that in addition to a letter, there was also a pure gold plaque inside.

"Mr. Victor, Queen Elsa has two levels. The upper level is for hosting the culinary competition, and the lower level is for trading. Everything we are after will be traded there. If they succeed, then…"

At this point, the middle-aged man suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then he fainted.

Chen Yu quickly removed two needles from his chest and checked his condition again.

"He's not in any serious danger, just extremely weak, and he got a little too excited just now. He'll be fine after some rest,"

Only then did Victor relax. He gave a few instructions to the bodyguards beside him before letting them leave the room.

"Mr. Chen, it seems this trip to Queen Elsa is extremely dangerous. If there's no pressing need, you shouldn't go up there. Just stay in this castle, and I can ensure your safety!"

Chen Yu suddenly laughed twice and pulled out an invitation, waving it in front of Victor.

"To be honest, I'm very interested in this competition. I believe those who come will be some quite influential figures. If I can promote my meal kits and ready-to-eat dishes at the event, it might boost sales,"

Victor suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, regretting a little that he had left the invitation in Chen Yu's room.
