Chapter 76:
Originally, Xiangling didn't understand.
But no matter how innocent or pure a girl is, after seeing those barrages, she would understand even the things she shouldn't.
And once she understood, her face instantly turned bright red.
At the same time, the system's notification sounded in Tang Yu's mind again.
{Ding: Xiangling's favorability increased by 10. Current: 60%.}
Tang Yu: "???"
Driving the car can also increase favorability?
While Tang Yu was still confused, the live room exploded once again!
Because someone had just spammed 100 Carnivals in a row.
On Douyin, one Carnival was worth 3,000 yuan.
100 of them meant 300,000 yuan.
A true tycoon!
Absolute tycoon!
The netizens were shocked!
{Host, may I request a voice connection? I'd like to discuss something with Miss Xiangling.}
After sending the gifts, the person posted a barrage asking.
Tang Yu saw it and looked at Xiangling.
Whether to accept or not was entirely up to her.
"Okay!" Xiangling nodded in agreement.
Since the other party had sent so many gifts, refusing would seem rude.
Seeing Xiangling nod, Tang Yu accepted the request.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared in the live room.
The man had a serious, unsmiling face.
"Hello, host. Hello, Miss Xiangling. I am Ye Gutian, General Manager of Kyoto Grand Hotel," the man forced a stiff smile and introduced himself.
Tang Yu nodded in response.
The man was clearly here for Xiangling, so he didn't say much.
Xiangling also nodded. She looked at Ye Gutian without speaking.
Her reaction was equally calm.
However, the netizens couldn't stay calm.
Kyoto Grand Hotel.
Although they had never been inside, they had heard of it!
In Kyoto, Kyoto Grand Hotel was an iconic building.
It wasn't just the tallest building in Kyoto — it was also the only ten-star hotel in the city.
It was said that the owner of this hotel was the son of a very powerful figure in Kyoto.
They never expected that the famous Kyoto Grand Hotel would come looking for Xiangling!
For a moment, the barrage went wild.
{WTF! I've only seen this hotel online. I heard the cheapest dish there costs 8,888 yuan.} {The general manager came to find Xiangling. What's going on? Are they trying to recruit her?} {It's possible! After all, Xiangling is now a hot favorite to win the National Chef Competition!} {Most importantly, Xiangling is so cute! If she becomes the head chef there, it would definitely be amazing!} {...}
The netizens discussed heatedly, guessing Ye Gutian's intentions.
At this moment, the man spoke.
"Miss Xiangling, on the orders of my Young Master Ye, I have come to discuss with you. Our Young Master would like to hire you as a chef for Kyoto Grand Hotel. May I ask if you are willing?" Ye Gutian said with a smile.
As he spoke, there was a clear trace of arrogance on his face.
He didn't even mention the conditions first — he went straight to the point.
In his opinion, for a chef, being able to work at Kyoto Grand Hotel was already an honor.
Tang Yu naturally noticed the other party's arrogance.
But the man's words were still relatively polite, so he didn't say anything.
Everything would be decided by Xiangling herself.
"Kyoto Grand Hotel?" Xiangling looked confused. "What is that?"
Hearing Xiangling's words, Ye Gutian's mouth twitched.
A flash of displeasure crossed his face.
As a chef, you don't know about Kyoto Grand Hotel? Is that even possible?
It was like saying you watch adult videos but don't know who Maria Ozawa is.
Simply ridiculous.
Subconsciously, Ye Gutian assumed Xiangling was doing this on purpose.
"Miss Xiangling, are you joking? You don't even know about Kyoto Grand Hotel?" Ye Gutian dropped his forced smile and asked in a cold voice.
Xiangling looked innocent.
She really didn't know!
Why was he getting angry just because she didn't know?
The netizens also noticed the change in Ye Gutian's attitude.
Although they also thought it was a bit ridiculous that Xiangling didn't know about Kyoto Grand Hotel, she simply didn't know.
Why get angry about it?
Immediately, many netizens jumped in to defend Xiangling.
{Kyoto Grand Hotel may be famous nationwide, but if she doesn't know, she doesn't know. What's with your attitude?} {Exactly! Although… I'm still on Xiangling wife's side!} {With that attitude, better not to go! What a joke!} {Yeah! Yeah! Xiangling wife, don't agree. He didn't even mention the conditions first — isn't that looking down on people?} {....}
Ye Gutian, on the other side, naturally saw the netizens' comments.
Only then did he remember his purpose for coming.
He quickly suppressed his arrogance and said to Xiangling: "I'm sorry, Miss Xiangling. That was my mistake."
"I just didn't expect that as a chef, you wouldn't know about Kyoto Grand Hotel."
Xiangling smiled. She wasn't angry. Instead, she asked: "Can you tell me about it? Is Kyoto Grand Hotel very impressive?"
Seeing Xiangling's pure and innocent expression, Ye Gutian finally believed she really didn't know.
So, he explained the history and prestige of Kyoto Grand Hotel to her.
Xiangling listened and kept nodding.
She had to admit — she was a little surprised!
She hadn't expected that in this world, culinary skills were also highly valued.
The philosophy of Kyoto Grand Hotel was to become the number one gourmet restaurant in the country.
There, customers could enjoy the highest level of cuisine in the world.
Because of this, this hotel was almost the ultimate dream for every chef.
"Miss Xiangling, as long as you are willing to join Kyoto Grand Hotel, we are prepared to offer you an annual salary of one million yuan. In addition, we will gift you a house worth ten million yuan in the fifth ring of Kyoto," Ye Gutian said quickly, seeing that Xiangling seemed interested in the hotel.
This was the best offer he could give.
Actually, if it weren't for Young Master Ye's personal instructions, he wouldn't have been willing to offer such generous terms.
After all, Xiangling was really too young.
Although she had some skill, compared to veteran chefs, she was definitely still lacking.
After all, in the culinary world, skill often comes with age and experience.
The saying "practice makes perfect" applies strongly here.
In the live room, the netizens were stunned when they heard the offer.
A house in Kyoto + one million annual salary!
Wow!
This was basically reaching the peak of life in one step!
{So jealous! Is this kind of immense wealth really that easy to get?} {Is this the difference? At the same age, I'm still in school while she's already earning a million a year! Wuwuwu!} {Xiangling wife, just accept it! When I make it big in the future, I'll come to Kyoto Grand Hotel to find you.} {.....}
The netizens all urged Xiangling to accept.
But the next moment, Xiangling's answer left them completely dumbfounded.
