This little incident didn't take up too much time. Mai Ge continued cooking, his mood wasn't greatly affected, and he wasn't too worried about Goodinia's retaliation.
Could a member of the union really cause any trouble? There are probably quite a few people from the Aden Square Merchants' Union among the restaurant's customers right now, and even the customer wearing the Gray Temple badge has been here a few times.
Winning over these people's stomachs is enough to weather most storms in Chaos City.
Yulian and Crassus are the ultimate weapons, reserved for the rear to hold the line. If the two of them join forces, probably no one on the entire continent can defeat them.
Today, he stood up for Yabemia, which was actually about establishing the restaurant's reputation and rules. It wasn't that he wanted to show off his strength, but there were some bottom lines he had to make clear to everyone.
Amy is his bottom line and his weakness, no one is allowed to touch her.
It doesn't matter if he can't beat him, he can just blacklist him and write it down in his little notebook.
For foodies, being denied food is probably more unbearable than being beaten up.
As for the Aden Square Merchants' Union, which banned half-racial waiters, Mai Ge wouldn't mind giving it a push if the opportunity arose.
Of course, Mai Ge wasn't so naive as to think that he could overthrow a major merchant union with his current abilities, the two sides didn't even have the right to have a dialogue.
But just because it doesn't work now doesn't mean it won't work in the future. Things change every thirty years, Mai Ge has seen too many of these kinds of dramas in his past life. The ups and downs of businessmen are commonplace.
No matter how sturdy a building may be, it will eventually decay and collapse.
Especially during periods of technological reform, established business models will be severely impacted, and a new bourgeoisie will emerge.
"If the ruling class of this world is still so corrupt, I wouldn't mind taking them into the Industrial Revolution era and changing the rulers." Mai Ge muttered to himself, glancing up at the bicycles under the counter inside.
Although he mostly coasted through university, but he still graduated with a degree in mechanical design from a program ranked among the top ten globally. The idea that mechanics can change the world is not just a dream, given enough money.

"Honey! Has the scar on my face really faded? Really? Ahhh!!! I love you so much, honey!"
"It's faded! It's faded! It's really faded!"
"Waaah, Mother... the scar on my forehead is finally gone..."
The restaurant was filled with sounds of surprise and delight, and some people even cried tears of joy. Most of them were customers whose scars had improved significantly after eating tofu pudding.
"Just one bowl! It shouldn't... it shouldn't... reduce the scars too much, right?" In the corner, Yue Er looked down at the scar on his chest, staring at the bowl of savory tofu pudding in front of him, and fell into a deep dilemma.
"Never mind, I can't resist, I'll eat first! At worst, I'll just draw some scars on it later!" The hesitation only lasted a moment, and the faint aroma of soybeans made him pick up a spoon and start eating. The hesitation on his face was immediately replaced by a pleasant feeling of enjoyment.
Before long, he finished the bowl of tofu pudding. Yue Er still somewhat unsatisfied, put down his spoon, suddenly pulled open his shirt, glanced down, and then, looking dejected, put his shirt back down. He sighed and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, two more badges from over twenty years ago are missing. If this keeps up, I won't know what to brag about anymore. I used to dream of bragging until I was eighty...sigh..."
"Let's go." Luo Xi Ya gave the money to Amy and said softly to Gloria.
"Okay." Gloria nodded slightly, stood up gracefully, and as she reached the door, she couldn't help but glance back at the kitchen. Through the glass, she could see Mai Ge's profile as he intently cooked. Indeed, a focused man is the most attractive.
"Gloria?" Luo Xi Ya, who was holding the door, turned around and looked at Gloria with a hint of doubt. Following Gloria's gaze, she glanced at the kitchen and smiled. Yes, this man did indeed have a fatal attraction for women.
Whether it's his looks, his culinary skills, or his fiercely protective nature, probably every woman has dreamed of marrying such a perfect man, right?
Unfortunately, he already has a daughter.
"Mmm." Gloria quickly averted her gaze, her face behind the black veil slightly flushed. She lowered her head and followed Luo Xi Ya out the door.
A luxurious carriage soon pulled up at the door. The two boarded the carriage one after the other, and it slowly drove away.
"Take off your veil, let me see if it's working on that spot." As soon as she sat down, Luo Xi Ya looked at Gloria and said, her expression a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
"Okay." Gloria hesitated for a moment, then, seeing Luo Xi Ya's encouraging gaze, slowly reached out and untied the veil, removing it from her face.
Luo Xi Ya's eyes lit up, what stunning beauty could possibly catch her eye, even though she was also a woman?
Her thick, pale golden, slightly wavy hair was casually tied back with a purple hair tie, almost touching the floor against the seat. Her exquisite features seemed sculpted by a god with the finest touch: long eyelashes, large, pale purple eyes, cherry-like lips, and flawless, snow-white skin.
She had slender limbs, but her chest was quite impressive, and even wearing a black dress couldn't hide her enviable figure.
If it wasn't for that thumb-sized brownish spot on her left cheek, she would definitely be a beauty who would attract attention on the street. That spot was like a stone falling into a pot of tofu pudding, instantly ruining a perfect and exquisite work of art.
"It really has faded! The black has turned brownish, it really works!" Luo Xi Ya looked at the spots and immediately grabbed Gloria's hand in surprise.
"Rea...really?" Gloria's pretty face was also full of surprise and disbelief. Her slender fingers gently touched her cheek. She had thought that she would be surprised enough if the black color faded a little after eating only one serving, but now it had turned brownish. Such an obvious and direct change.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you? You'll see for yourself when you get home and look in the mirror." Luo Xi Ya nodded with a smile, then rolled up her sleeve and pointed to the scar, saying, "Look, compared to when we came, hasn't it gotten a little smaller?"
"Really!" Gloria's eyes lit up, and her voice became lighter involuntarily. The burn scars on Luo Xi Ya's hands had indeed shrunk, and the skin in the unhealed areas was beginning to smooth out. It looked like it would heal completely in a few days.
"Believe me, it won't be long before the spots on your face heal slowly, just like my scars." Luo Xi Ya gently patted Gloria's head and said with a smile, "Then you can wear beautiful clothes and go out, and those men will definitely not be able to take their eyes off you."
"He...may be not?" A figure suddenly appeared in Gloria's mind, and she asked herself softly.
