The Mejiro Family banquet. This banquet was for discussions with the China Horse Girl Association and to decide which plan to use.
However, no matter what the original purpose was, it essentially had little to do with Tokai.
She was just a chef without emotions, so even if something happened at the banquet, it actually had little to do with Tokai.
However… looking at the person standing in front of her, the customer who had come to the restaurant a few days ago, Tokai's expression began to crack.
Because according to Mejiro Ardan, the person standing in front of her now was Mejiro Sanfeng.
Thinking of this, Tokai silently shifted her gaze away.
She didn't know why Mejiro Sanfeng was staring at her.
But… after a short period of mutual staring, Mejiro Sanfeng spoke, "Miss Yayoi's cooking skills are excellent."
"Thank you."
After a simple thank you, Tokai began to cut the venison into pieces and place it on a plate.
Because it was a banquet, Tokai didn't need to prepare too many things.
And in such circumstances, most people's conversations were actually quite casual.
After all, the truly important decisions had already been made beforehand, so those who came here now might really just be here to announce that they had settled everything.
This was also why Mejiro Sanfeng was standing in front of Tokai.
And by now, Mejiro Sanfeng had been staring at Tokai for almost two minutes.
If Tokai still hadn't reacted after such a long time of observation, that would be truly strange.
After hearing Tokai's thank you, Mejiro Sanfeng just looked at Tokai and then asked a new question, "Are you interested in becoming the head chef for the Mejiro Family?"
The direct question made Tokai pause for a second.
Facing the other party's gaze, Tokai was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head. "I'm sorry, I can't do that at the moment."
Having refused, Tokai continued her work. "Doesn't Miss Sanfeng need to socialize with them?"
"Them? There's not much point in socializing with them."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng simply cast her gaze over the people present.
Mejiro Sanfeng was not very interested in this banquet, because she was not the main character of this banquet.
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng just turned her head slightly and then spoke again, "There's nothing interesting about this banquet, so there's no need to overthink it."
Saying this, Mejiro Sanfeng returned her gaze to Tokai. "By the way, Miss Yayoi's cooking skills are so good, have you ever been a chef for other families? For example, the Symbol Family, or the SS Family, or…"
Her gaze shifted slightly, fixing on Tokai at a subtle angle. "The Tokai Family?"
The overly direct question made Tokai pause for a second.
"Currently, I haven't served as a head chef for any other family. I wonder why Miss Mejiro Sanfeng is asking?"
Mejiro Sanfeng found Tokai's feigned ignorance utterly amusing.
From this incident alone, Mejiro Sanfeng could tell that Tokai was completely unaware of the current situation.
Thinking of this, Mejiro Sanfeng simply turned her head slightly: "By the way, Miss Yayoi, what do you think of the alliance between the Mejiro Family and China this time?"
A completely unrelated topic came from Mejiro Sanfeng's mouth.
Hearing Mejiro Sanfeng say this, Tokai was silent for about ten seconds before continuing: "I don't know, after all, it doesn't have much to do with me."
Tokai's words made Mejiro Sanfeng say no more. She simply turned slightly and looked at everyone present.
Looking at everyone present, Mejiro Sanfeng just turned her head back slightly, she looked at Tokai, with a hint of dangerous light in her eyes: "Miss Yayoi, I want to know your opinion of a certain person."
"Um, who might that be?"
Although she didn't know who the other party would ask about, Tokai had already prepared herself during the previous conversations.
And looking at Tokai's performance.
Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I wonder, Miss Yayoi, what do you think of Rudolph Symboli?"
Staring intently at Tokai, Mejiro Sanfeng awaited her response.
If the response she received was an interesting answer, then Mejiro Sanfeng would... Facing Mejiro Sanfeng's question, Tokai was silent for about ten seconds.
Clearly, Tokai didn't know how to respond.
But after being silent for about ten seconds, just before Tokai was about to speak.
A small voice appeared:
"Big sister, can I have another dessert?"
This voice made Tokai turn her head: "Mm, okay."
Then, she saw Gold Ship standing on the other side.
Looking at her, Tokai was stunned for a second, then picked up a dessert and placed it in Gold Ship's hand.
"Thank you, big sister. By the way, big sister, it seems someone was looking for you outside just now."
Saying this, Gold Ship took a dessert and turned to look in another direction: "Does big sister need me to take her over?"
Seeing Gold Ship's hint, Tokai was stunned for a second, then continued: "Mm, okay, thank you."
Afterward, Tokai followed Gold Ship and left the banquet hall.
Watching Tokai leave, Mejiro Sanfeng was silent for a second, then left the temporarily prepared live cooking station.
She knew that after this question was interrupted, there would likely be no more opportunities to ask it later.
----------
After Tokai was led out, Gold Ship looked at Tokai: "Auntie Yayoi, I did a good job, didn't I!"
Looking at Gold Ship, who gave her a thumbs-up.
Tokai just stroked her head: "Mm, Gold Ship did very well ~"
Gold Ship, whose head was stroked by Tokai, just stared at Tokai: "Um, Auntie Yayoi, in the future, can I..."
"No."
"Not even when I'm an adult?"
"How old would I be then? It wouldn't suit you ~" Tokai, perfunctorily responding to Gold Ship, just shifted her gaze slightly, "Anyway, thank you for this time."
"So the main reason is that it wouldn't suit me..."
Looking at Gold Ship as if she had understood something.
Tokai just sighed, then turned around: "I'm going back to work ~"
