What kind of teacher would cause Elder Huang and Elder Li to go to such great lengths to visit in person?
Unheard of!
Unspoken of!
Elder Huang, who had come from the capital to inspect the magic city, made visiting a teacher his first stop. No one could comprehend this.
Liao Changwei was the only one among the three leaders who was unaware of the situation.
"It's fine, we'll wait for him to return. Teaching and nurturing are important matters," Elder Huang said with a smile.
"Elder Huang, Elder Li, please come inside." Long Aotian led them into the villa.
As Elder Huang and Elder Li entered the villa, Ma Huateng and the others noticed them.
At first, they thought they were mistaken, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was indeed Elder Huang and Elder Li.
These were top figures in China; their words represented the entirety of China.
"Elder Huang, Elder Li."
Everyone walked over respectfully and greeted them.
To be able to meet Elder Huang once in this lifetime was truly a blessing. Even entrepreneurs like Jack Ma had to seize opportunities; they couldn't just meet him whenever they pleased.
With the arrival of Elder Huang and Elder Li, the atmosphere in the villa became somewhat quiet. The previously boisterous villa suddenly fell silent.
Even Old Wang, who was always bragging, shut his mouth and cautiously accompanied Elder Huang and Elder Li.
As for Zheng Ming and others, they were selectively ignored.
Although Zheng Ming had been to the villa once before, he was still surprised to be here again.
And there was no need to mention Liao Changwei. Were these entrepreneurs not all top figures in China?
Now that everyone was gathered, what important matter were they discussing?
Or was Elder Huang's purpose for this trip to meet them?
To issue some important policies?
Otherwise, why would these people be gathered together?
In Liao Changwei's life, he had never had so many questions swirling in his mind, filled with disbelief and astonishment.
After Elder Huang and Elder Li were seated, Jack Ma began to help pour tea.
It was the same tea, that familiar, long-lost taste. Even Elder Huang felt a great sense of refreshment and cast a meaningful glance at Elder Li.
His expression seemed to say, "Haven't you had enough? Why are you still drinking?"
Elder Li, holding his teacup, pretended not to see and said to Jack Ma, "Xiao Ma, pour two more cups for Elder Huang. He must be thirsty after the journey."
"Yes, Elder Li."
Jack Ma, unaware of the underlying meaning, quickly poured tea for Elder Huang.
Zheng Ming and Liao Changwei were both top leaders in the magic city. Even with Elder Huang and Elder Li present, tea still needed to be served to them.
It was the first time the two were drinking this tea, and they had no idea about its effects. Liao Changwei picked up a cup and drank it all in one go.
*Burp...*
*Ah...*
Liao Changwei first let out a large burp and then shouted out with a cry.
The people in the villa had been speaking very little, maintaining a quiet demeanor. Liao Changwei's two sounds were particularly jarring and strange.
This couldn't be blamed on Liao Changwei, as it was an instinctive bodily reaction that he couldn't control. Even if he covered his mouth, the sound would be even more unpleasant.
Everyone suppressed their laughter and turned their gazes to him.
Liao Changwei's face turned red, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. To be so utterly embarrassed in front of Elder Huang and Elder Li was truly frustrating.
He didn't understand what was happening, only that he couldn't stop hiccuping. After drinking the tea, he felt a surge of energy rising within him, which he couldn't suppress.
Liao Changwei felt this was the most embarrassing moment of his life. Besides the two supremely distinguished figures, Elder Huang and Elder Li, there were also so many renowned entrepreneurs of China present.
He had truly embarrassed himself beyond measure.
And it didn't stop there.
Even more bizarrely, Liao Changwei wanted to drink more. The sensation was incredibly refreshing.
Zheng Ming, sitting next to Liao Changwei, watched his strange expression, unsure whether to drink the tea he was holding or not.
As he was in a predicament, Qin Guomin spoke, "Secretary Zheng, this tea needs to be sipped slowly at first to savor its flavor."
Zheng Ming gave Qin Guomin a grateful look and slowly began to sip the tea.
"Refreshing!"
This was Zheng Ming's first reaction.
After drinking the tea, he could somewhat understand Liao Changwei's reaction.
He couldn't handle it.
Elder Huang and Elder Li showed no signs of blaming Liao Changwei for his reaction, as they understood the reason behind it.
"Little Liao, drink slowly. You're here now, there's plenty of tea," Elder Li advised earnestly.
"Yes, Elder Li," Liao Changwei replied respectfully.
Since Elder Huang's arrival, Dou Lapiite had remained upstairs, not coming down. After all, with Elder Huang present, he needed to avoid suspicion. As a cultivator, it was best not to approach Elder Huang in Xia Feng's absence.
Even if others believed him, he was still a foreigner, and he was aware of his own status.
Zhou Gangyi was responsible for picking up Xia Feng today, as was Long Aotian. With Elder Huang present, there was still an old bat in the villa.
He knew the old bat wouldn't harbor any ill intentions, but due to his duty, Long Aotian preferred to be cautious and avoid any oversights.
"Elder Huang, Elder Li, please enjoy your tea. We'll go prepare the meal. Do you have any requests?" Jack Ma asked cautiously.
Last time Elder Li visited, Jack Ma had shown off his culinary skills, earning high praise from Elder Li.
This time, with Elder Huang here, Jack Ma was determined to perform well again and show Elder Huang how talented and versatile he was.
"Elder Li said your cooking was delicious last time, so I'll taste it this time too. Make it as you see fit; we have no special requests."
Elder Huang praised Jack Ma, making him grin from ear to ear.
This was the most prideful and satisfying moment of Jack Ma's life.
He had never studied cooking formally; he was a self-taught amateur. He never imagined that one day he would receive praise from Elder Huang and Elder Li for his cooking.
If he could also receive praise from Elder Zhou and Elder Feng, his life would be complete.
Jack Ma glanced triumphantly at Ma Huateng, his meaning obvious. He was practically pointing at Ma Huateng's nose and saying, "See? This is the difference between you and me. Following trends is just following. When Elder Huang and Elder Li come, you don't even have the right to speak."
Ma Huateng could see the smug look on Jack Ma's face and felt a pang of envy.
He was almost consumed by jealousy.
If only he had practiced his cooking diligently earlier, he would have a useful skill now.
Therefore, everyone needs to possess multiple skills, because you never know when they might come in handy.
"Thank you for your praise, Elder Huang, Elder Li. I will continue to do my best with every dish."
Jack Ma humbly accepted the compliments and vowed to continue developing his culinary skills, striving to create more dishes that pleased the palates of the esteemed guests in the future.
Especially Xia Feng, who loved to eat.
Good luck has arrived, what can you do?
