Hearing this, Fan Sicheng was completely dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Since when did these two great young masters know how to cook?
And what did they mean by saying Young Master Qin and Xiao Fei loved to eat it?
This simple sentence conveyed a massive amount of information to Fan Sicheng.
He had originally thought that the siblings, Qin Ning and Qin Fei, were just ordinary members of this group.
After all, he had never heard of any prominent Young Master Qin in the country.
But looking at it now, Wang Er, Cai Cheng, and the others, including Richard, were all actually just lackeys of this Young Master Qin?
How was that possible?
Just what kind of background did he have to make these top-tier young masters so deeply respectful toward him?
Uh... oh... alright, follow me.
Recovering quickly from his shock, Fan Sicheng led Cai Cheng and Zhou Ping'an toward the kitchen.
I'll go help too. Bai Xuelin also ran after them.
The kitchen.
Cai Cheng and the other three soon arrived.
Zhou Ping'an took charge of selecting the ingredients, while Cai Cheng helped prep them.
Zhou Ping'an glanced at Bai Xuelin, who was standing to the side looking foolish, and couldn't help but call out, If you have nothing to do, come help wash the vegetables. What are you spacing out for?
Uh... okay. Bai Xuelin didn't say much and quickly went over to help.
Young Master Cai, are you all always following by Young Master Qin's side now?
As he washed the vegetables, he couldn't resist asking.
Even though he knew Qin Ning was special, Bai Xuelin still had many doubts and wanted to ask Cai Cheng and the others for clarification.
Yeah, though I joined later. Young Master Zhou and Young Master Xia were the earliest to know Young Master Qin.
Besides you guys, there must be quite a few other people who know Young Master Qin, right? Like my dad, for instance. Bai Xuelin couldn't help but ask.
Cai Cheng chuckled, Of course. You should know Young Master Zhou's father, the top leader of our Liu City. Then there's my dad, Young Master Wang's dad, President Ma who is the top boss of the Magic City, and President Guo of Guangning City in Xi Province. None of these people hold a lower rank than your father, yet when they see Young Master Qin, they all have to be completely respectful.
Hearing this, Bai Xuelin was left dumbfounded.
Although he had already guessed as much, hearing it confirmed still left him feeling incredibly shocked.
Sigh, that's nothing. Aren't Elder Liu and Elder Zeng also polite and courteous to Young Master Qin? Zhou Ping'an, who was currently stir-frying dishes, suddenly chimed in.
Elder Liu? Elder Zeng? Bai Xuelin was taken aback, unable to process the names.
Cai Cheng explained, The two at the very top.
Bai Xuelin was stunned, his jaw dropping.
He had thought that Qin Ning's influence must be massive, but he never expected it to be to this terrifying extent.
Fan Sicheng, standing to the side, was equally shocked.
No wonder these top-tier young masters were willing to act like lapdogs around Qin Ning. He never imagined the other party was an existence that even Elder Zeng and Elder Liu had to treat with courtesy!
But how was that possible?
At the end of the day, wasn't Qin Ning just a young man?
After all, Fan Sicheng didn't know about Qin Ning's unique nature, so to him, these matters were naturally very hard to understand.
Soon, the group finished cooking the dishes and brought them to the private room.
The other dishes were also brought up by the waiters.
Just as they were about to start eating, a young man suddenly walked in from the courtyard outside.
Young Master Fan, Young Master Bai, why are you eating here by yourselves?
Ding Hui, the son of Shu Province's top leader. They were all young men running in the same circles within the province, so Fan Sicheng and Bai Xuelin were naturally no strangers to him.
However, today they were hosting Qin Ning here. For Ding Hui to suddenly barge in without permission, Fan Sicheng and Bai Xuelin were naturally afraid that this would displease Qin Ning.
Bai Xuelin frowned slightly, stood up, and walked over to Ding Hui, pulling him outside. Young Master Ding, we can talk later. We have important guests today.
What important guests?
Hearing this, Ding Hui instantly became displeased. His gaze swept over everyone present one by one. Just these youths? Heh, Zhou Ping'an is here too? These are the important guests you're talking about?
Get the hell out right now, and watch what you say before you bring disaster upon yourself! Fan Sicheng also grew anxious and hurriedly joined Bai Xuelin in dragging Ding Hui out.
Outside the private room.
I say, you two are really regressing. Although Zhou Ping'an's dad is the top leader of Liu City, since when did the young masters of our Shu Province become so cheap? Is a mere Zhou Ping'an worth you treating him with such caution?
Ding Hui was disdainful. He had met Zhou Ping'an before; the guy had some background, but that was about it.
As the son of Shu Province's top leader, he naturally didn't put Zhou Ping'an in his eyes.
Forget it. I called you guys yesterday and told you there was a dinner party, but today you both suddenly refused. I thought you really had some important guests, but it's just Zhou Ping'an? On my side is Young Master Liu Silin from the capital, Elder Liu's grandson. You don't go to network with him, but instead loiter around here with Zhou Ping'an?
You really have no vision.
Having said that, he didn't wait for Bai Xuelin and Fan Sicheng to say anything, turning directly and leaving.
...
In another private room of the villa, Ding Hui returned.
Besides Liu Silin, there were quite a few other young masters sitting inside. Some had followed Liu Silin from the capital, while others were Ding Hui's friends from Shu Province.
Young Master Ding, why did you take so long going to the bathroom? You didn't drink too much and go throw up, did you? Young Master Liu teased when he saw the other party return with a slightly red face.
Sigh, don't mention it. I just ran into Fan Sicheng and Bai Xuelin over there. Originally, I also notified them yesterday to attend this dinner party, especially since you, Young Master Liu, were coming. But as you know, they called me not long ago saying they had matters to attend to and couldn't make it.
As Ding Hui spoke, he couldn't help but get angry. They pushed off our dinner, only to turn around and host a few youths. This is simply not putting us in their eyes at all.
Is that it? Forget it, it's not worth getting angry over. After all, everyone has their own social circles. Young Master Liu waved his hand, not really caring too much.
If it were in the past, given Liu Silin's temper, he might have just brought people over to crash their party directly.
But ever since the last time in the capital, when he accidentally offended Qin Ning and Qin Fei and was severely taught a lesson as a result, Liu Silin had become much more restrained.
How can we just let it go? Young Master Liu, Fan Sicheng and Bai Xuelin are completely disrespecting you. Let's go, let's head over and see just who those two guys are hosting, to the point where they even dare to disregard Young Master Liu's face.
The few people beside him chimed in, and they all stood up, heading out of the private room.
Seeing this, Liu Silin frowned at first, but didn't say anything. He stood up as well, intending to go over and take a look.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become.
