Before the last ten seconds, Liu Zheng got the phone and connected the call.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

He said respectfully while panting.

In fact, given his physique, he doesn't need to breathe. This is to show respect for the leader.

"Is the bath comfortable?"

Si Xue asked calmly.

"It doesn't matter if it's comfortable or not, it's mainly for cleaning and not affecting Restaurant's image and working environment."

Liu Zheng said seriously.

"You should be City Hall's press officer. It's really unfair for you to be Deliveryman."

Although Si Xue is well-informed, I am a little speechless at his shamelessness.

"No grievance. It was Restaurant who gave me a job when I was desperate. It is my honor to become Deliveryman and work for Restaurant."

He said seriously.

Liu Zheng What he said is really not against his will, at least not the last sentence.

If he had joined another department, he would probably have become Sewer's shit by now.

"Go back to Restaurant and see me immediately."

"Roger it!"

Liu Zheng responded loudly.

Si Xue hung up the phone and touched his forehead, a layer of thick cold sweat broke out.

Mainly because it was the first time I encountered such a fatal call and I had no experience.

Putting down his phone, he began to think about why Si Xue had summoned him.

For the matter of Fire Mage?

Liu Zheng It seems unlikely.

He did not doubt that Si Xue knew his whereabouts, mainly because Si Xue would not go to him for this matter.

It's just Councillor and the deputy director who died. Besides, it wasn't him.

As for the Jorden Family, it's even more impossible. A gray family without Councillor should be no different from Liu Zheng in the eyes of a boss of Si Xue's level.

After thinking about it, he could only think of blowing up the "Sunshine Pet Store" pet store.

After all, he blew up so many street trees, roads, and even the ceiling of Sewer.

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng was a little bit gnashing his teeth.

As an excuse for delivery disputes, it's okay to fool Public Security Division, but to fool Si Xue is to seek death.

There is no other way. If you confess, you will be lenient, if you resist, you will be stern.

He returned to the hot spring pool with a sigh.

"That just now was the boss of Bloodstained Restaurant?"

Guokou Tangzi asked.

Liu Zheng didn't speak, but silence is recognition.

"It turns out to be a female too. Humph, one day I will sit in a higher position than her."

Guokou Tangzi said ambitiously.

"Then defeating Jorden Family will be the beginning of your grand hegemony."

He took the opportunity to say.

"You'd better survive your boss's hands first."

Guokou Tangzi mocked.

"Don't worry, I won't die before you. Tell me, what is your request?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I want you to convince the chef of Bloodstained Restaurant to compete with me, just like making soup."

Guokou Tangzi said.

"It can't get out Bloodstained Restaurant, how can we compare it?"

"You don't have to come out, just give the soup to the other person to taste after it's ready. As a real chef, you should have enough taste and pride."

Guokou Tangzi said.

"Then it's impossible for him to compete with you in vain. What's the prize?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Half of the pot."

"No, eldest sister!"

As soon as Seasoning Quartet heard this, he immediately rushed over and sat down around Guokou Tangzi.

"This is the inheritance of Ultimate Flavor Group. It symbolizes the leader's legitimacy and authority. It cannot be used as a lottery ticket."

Ginger Head said loudly.

"Since I am the leader of Ultimate Flavor Group, this is my thing and I have the right to dispose of it."

Guokou Tangzi is unmoved.

"This is not just yours, but also ours and those of the deceased Ultimate Flavor Group predecessors. If you insist on having your own way, as Ruotou (heir), I will initiate impeachment proceedings."

Chili Head said in a deep voice.

"You want to rebel?"

Guokou Tangzi opened his phoenix eyes, full of majesty.

"Sister, I can show my loyalty to you every day. But Ultimate Flavor Group is our home, and I can't watch you destroy our home. When the impeachment process is over, I will commit suicide."

Chili Head's voice is sonorous and powerful.

"After following me for so many years, you finally have some backbone."

After hearing its words, Guokou Tangzi smiled instead of getting angry.

"That"

Chili Head felt happy.

"But have you forgotten what your goal is as the leader of Ultimate Flavor Group?"

Guokou Tangzi said.

"Cook the most delicious soup in the world with the pot in your hand, so that every member of Ultimate Flavor Group can enjoy it."

Chili Head said after a moment of silence.

"That's right, if I can't beat the chef at Bloodstained Restaurant, how can I say that I cook the most delicious soup in the world?"

"Since you can't make the most delicious soup in the world, what difference does it make whether the pot is complete or incomplete?"

Guokou Tangzi's face is as pale as water.

"Hey Yi, I understand. I support your decision, eldest sister."

Chili Head raised his head and said.

"Hey Yi, we support the eldest sister's decision."

Seeing that Ruotou said the same thing, Scallion, Ginger, and Garlic and the other three had no choice but to say.

"Can you do it?"

After convincing the younger brother, Guokou Tangzi turned to Liu Zheng.

"Let me try."

He didn't dare to guarantee it.

The main reason is that this kind of competition seems to be about honor, and he doesn't know what impact it will have on White-Feather Chicken if he loses.

"If you can do it, no matter whether you win or lose, Ultimate Flavor Group will sincerely cooperate with you."

After talking about the matter, Liu Zheng quickly changed his clothes and left the bathhouse.

Before leaving, he also deposited 5,000 yuan for Ultimate Flavor Group.

Don't be surprised if there are many people in Li. Even if the soup-stewing competition doesn't work out, we can still cooperate in other places.

Before leaving, he seemed to see some regret in Jinzi's eyes.

Liu Zheng sprinted all the way back to Restaurant. Fortunately, the soup pot had protective measures, otherwise it would have all spilled out on the road.

"Boss, don't drink this pot of soup. I'll keep it for use."

Entering the lounge, he put down the soup pot and told Cow-Horse.

"You said you won't drink if you don't want to. Why?"

Cow-Horse stood up as he spoke, obviously intending to taste the saltiness.

"This is made with my bath water."

"Huh, if you don't want to drink, you won't drink."

Cow-Horse fell down again.

Liu Zheng glanced at it speechlessly and left the lounge.

When we reached the third fork in the road, the elevator was already waiting there.

Entering the elevator, he had a sudden thought.

Since Sewer is alive and Delivery Passage seems to be alive as well, is this elevator also alive?

If it is alive, is it considered a fixed asset or an employee of Restaurant?

Liu Zheng tentatively asked this question.

As expected, the elevator ignored him at all.

The floor key goes out and the elevator door opens.

Liu Zheng couldn't help but shiver.

Because the outside world is no longer Lava Sea, but a Frozen Hell.

Countless ice spikes stand on the ice, like a mountain of knives or a forest of spears, creating a chilling atmosphere.

There are many icebergs on the ice sea that are constantly drifting and colliding, making a roar like the earth is shattering.

And Si Xue is lying on the largest iceberg, under a huge snowflake with sparkling eyes.

"I'm starting to regret it."

She said softly, but her voice rang clearly in Liu Zheng's ears.

"When you came in with the letter from the City Hall, I should have told you to go back to where you came from."

"But it's not too late now."

Before Liu Zheng could speak, Si Xue broke off a piece of the snowflakes under him and threw it over.
