BXBX NOVEL Chapter 315: Declaration
“What do you mean?” The middle-aged man glanced at the two men and snorted, “In this year’s Lanchiu City Youth Training Competition, Yu Kun will compete. You two are just making up the numbers.”
“I’ll report your behavior!” Bear Battle slapped the counter, raising his voice a few decibels, heat in his eyes.
“Bear Battle, who’s Yu Kun?” Qin Lang asked.
“It’s the guy I told you about earlier who has a three-star Food Spirit.” Bear Battle lowered his voice to answer, bitterness still gripping him.
So it was that guy.
When they’d met in the Lan Qiu Forest earlier, Qin Lang had heard from Bear Battle that a Spirit Chef possesing a three-star Food Spirit would be competing in this Youth Training Competition, and that his second Food Spirit was also close to being promoted.
Compared to other competitors, his strength easily surpasses the rest, and has already been recognized as the champion of this training event by countless spectators.
In this case, the attitude of this staff member was understandable.
However, this still doesn’t explain why they were being treated so poorly.
Qin Lang patted Bear Battle’s shoulder, signaling him to calm down, then looked at the man with a frosty gaze.
“The staff of the Lanchiu City Spirit Chef Association represent the city to the outside world, and their attitude towards non-local Spirit Chefs represents the city’s attitude towards non-local Spirit Chefs.”
“So can I understand it as, Lanqiu City doesn’t welcome non-local Spirit Chefs?”
“You…” The middle-aged man’s face darkened, and his voice dropped, “Your eloquence won’t help your abilities!”
He never expected this teenager who appeared to be in his early teens to make such serious accusations. As it concerns the reputation of the Lanchiu City Spirit Chef Association, he couldn’t afford to take that responsibility.
“Sign in.” The man quickly input their information and returned their badges, his face dark, and waved his hand, “You can go!”
Clearly, he didn’t want to see these two guys anymore.
“Hmph!” Seeing the man yield, Bear Battle’s anger turned into delight. He whispered under his breath how great Qin Lang was, “I knew you’d back down, let’s go, Qin Lang!”
However, in the next moment, Bear Battle found out that he couldn’t move Qin Lang.
Qin Lang calmly stood where he was, looking at the middle-aged man, his gaze fixated on the nameplate in front of the man, “Gong Xiao, is it? Your atrocious attitude at work, I will file a complaint through the association’s complaint channel.”
“Besides,” his voice paused for a moment, “Yu Kun’s first place won’t be so easy to grab.”
Having said that, regardless of the man’s increasingly gloomy expression, Qin Lang turned around and left.
Bear Battle glanced at the man called Gong Xiao, then took another look at Qin Lang who had left, admiration flashed in his eyes.
Impressive!
Qin Lang seemed a few years younger than himself, but why did he always seem more reliable?
“Qin Lang, wait for me!” With a refreshing grin, Bear Battle hurried after Qin Lang.
The staff member named Cen Jianglan at the adjacent counter number eight saw the entire confrontation and sighed softly, “Gong Xiao, you’re in trouble now.”
“Hmph!” Gong Xiao snorted, “Even if I get complained about, I’ll just take some criticism, lose some performance.”
Cen Jianglan shook her head, “We staff of the association are here to serve the Spirit Chefs. You bring your personal emotions into your work, and this is not the first or second time.”
“I just despise these opportunistic guys.” Gong Xiao had a gloomy expression, clearly not thinking he had done anything wrong.
“The Youth Training Competition is different from cooking events and training competitions. Just win a city-level championship once, and you can directly participate in the provincial level Youth Training Competition.”
“Competitions like this should be a stage for our local Spirit Chefs to shine. If non-local Spirit Chefs come to our Lanqiu City to participate in the city-level Youth Training Competition, isn’t it because they think our Lanqiu City’s Spirit Chefs are easy to bully?”
“What do they think they are? Dragons cross the river?”
“As a member of the association, I stand up for our Lanqiu City’s Spirit Chefs. What’s wrong with that?”
“Your thinking is too radical.” Cen Jianglan rebutted, “These Spirit Chefs from other places participating in the Youth Training Competition, might just happen to be passing through our Lanchiu City or are attending more competitions to interact with their peers…”
“Those are all just excuses!” Gong Xiao, annoyed, interrupted Cen Jianglan’s words and then had a look of satisfaction, “I really look forward to the competition in three days, when Yu Kun will crush them one by one and finally win the championship.”
“Afterwards, I can claim that I am the uncle of the Lanchiu City Youth Training Competition champion!”
Cen Jianglan shook her head and did not say anything more.
She admitted that Yu Kun was strong and the favorite to win the Youth Training Competition, but she still did not have a good opinion of Yu Kun’s uncle.
Moreover…
For some reason, the declaration of the youngster just now was still echoing in Cen Jianglan’s mind.
She suddenly had a premonition that he might really have the ability to prevent Yu Kun’s victory, or at least be a strong stumbling block on Yu Kun’s path to victory.
“Qin Lang, you were awesome just now. While I was stewing in my anger, you managed to silence that hateful fellow!” Bear Battle looked at him with some admiration, then asked curiously, “What are you doing?”
“Filing a complaint.” Qin Lang put his phone back in his pocket, “Now that the complaint is done, after the association handles it, that fellow will be punished. Though I’m not certain how severe the punishment will be, at least it gives him a lesson.”
“You’re really something. You said you’d complain, and so you did.” Bear Battle felt like he knew Qin Lang on a deeper level.
“I just don’t like being taken advantage of.” Qin Lang replied casually.
With the memories from his previous life, although Qin Lang often fits in with people his age, there were differences between himself and those teenagers in some aspects.
“By the way, how much information on Yu Kun have you been able to get?” Qin Lang took a look at Bear Battle and asked.
“Wiry?” Bear Battle scratched his head, his eyes widened in surprise, “You don’t really intend to compete with Yu Kun for first place, do you?”
“I didn’t have that idea before.” Qin Lang admitted, “Now, I want to give it a try.”
Dan Bao had mastered the Secret Method Yan Capturing and Spicy obtained the Combination Combat Skill Instantaneous Flash Tooth Mark.
His strength has changed dramatically within these few days.
A few days ago, he did not think he could defeat the person called Yu Kun. But now, it wasn’t impossible.
Although there’s a huge gap between a three-star Food Spirit and a two-star Food Spirit, the effort put forth by the two little ones during this time shouldn’t be wasted.
Looking at the two little ones who shared his indignation, a smile appeared on Qin Lang’s face.
He could feel that the two little ones also wanted to win the championship very much, to shock that man with the terrible attitude.
He just hoped Brother Zhou would have some free time in the next few days to give him some pointers.
