Chapter 221 A Fish Rivaling the King Salmon
Li Ziming smiled but said nothing.
Looking at him like this, the answer is self-evident.
"Li Ziming, just wait for me." Ji Qinglin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "After the banquet, I will definitely hold you accountable."
"Chef Ji, don't say anything nonsense. I am loyal to Chang Xiangsi and have no other intentions towards her. I just said that I have a way to help you get the emperor salmon back, but I didn't say that I was the one who interfered." Li Ziming said innocently.
However, Ji Qinglin didn't want to waste time talking to him anymore, so he pulled Fang Shiyu and left in a hurry.
Li Ziming looked at Ji Qinglin's back, his eyes turned cold. It seemed that his plan to seduce Ji Qinglin and then cruelly dump him was not going to work.
Since Ji Qinglin doesn't know what's good for him, then... he doesn't mind destroying him.
When Ji Qinglin and Fang Shiyu left Chang Xiangsi, Gu Beisheng also learned about the situation here.
"Who did it?" Gu Beisheng didn't believe it either. With just Qi Di, he could snatch the emperor salmon from Chang Xiangsi at twice the price.
"It's Miss Xu." Secretary Wen said in a deep voice, "She called the supplier and threatened them that if they didn't enlighten the emperor salmon, she would mobilize the Xu family's resources to ban them."
Faced with such threats, no supplier dared to disobey.
Although they will lose Chang Xiangsi as a major customer and their reputation, at least they can survive.
Gu Beisheng's eyes flashed with danger. It was Xu Zhaozhao again. It seemed that this woman and her stepmother wanted to force Ji Qinglin into a desperate situation so that she would stay away from them.
"Mr. Gu, the emperor salmon Madam ordered is of a quality that only exists in the entire Jiangbei region. If we can't find a replacement, I'm afraid Madam will suffer a setback at this banquet." Secretary Wen said worriedly, "And I'm afraid this is exactly what Miss Xu is trying to do."
"She won't succeed." Gu Beisheng sneered, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
……
……
Ji Qinglin and Fang Shiyu have arrived at the largest seafood market in Jiangbei.
They only have one hour left, which means they have to find ingredients to replace the emperor salmon within an hour, otherwise this banquet will become a joke.
Some people with ulterior motives would even use this as an excuse to expel Ji Qinglin from Chang Xiangsi.
Although Song Chen has absolute authority in Chang Xiangsi's kitchen, Chang Xiangsi has more than one kitchen.
With pressure from all sides, I'm afraid even Song Chen won't be able to protect Ji Qinglin.
"Xiao Ji, we've looked around but can't find any ingredients that can replace the emperor salmon. What should we do now?" Fang Shiyu sat on a small bench in front of a seafood shop, looking depressed.
Ji Qinglin didn't say anything, but walked around the various seafood in the seafood shop.
"Beauty, what would you like to order?" The owner of the seafood shop came over and said with a smile.
"Do you have any premium emperor salmon?" Fang Shiyu said casually. She no longer had any hope.
"No."
Fang Shiyu was not surprised by this answer.
"However, I do have fish here that can rival the premium king salmon." The seafood shop owner said confidently.
"What?!" Fang Shiyu stood up suddenly and looked at the boss in disbelief. "Really? They have fish here that rival the king salmon?"
The seafood shop owner raised his chin proudly. "Looking at the entire seafood market, I'm the only one who dares to say this. After all, my family has been selling fish for four generations, so I'm quite familiar with the characteristics of some fish."
