When the last piece of bright orange Macaron remained in the box, the Young Masters in the War Strategist Office who had not yet tasted the Macaron, as well as those who had already savored the beauty of Ren Ling's Yuzun, went wild!
For that last Macaron, which was also their final chance to indirectly kiss Ren Ling, they were bidding outrageously!
Seeing that other young masters had already tasted Ren Ling's Yuzun, Hu Rengui, who had barely eaten any, was driven mad with hunger!
Pushing aside the servant who was blocking him with a ledger, he was willing to spend ten thousand gold coins to buy that last Macaron!
Hu Rengui's rival, Shilian Zhi, who had not managed to get a single Macaron all night, was also getting desperate. He was ready to offer all his possessions and bid five grams of gold for that last Macaron!
But that wasn't the end; there were other Young Masters who were even more frenzied and willing to pay an even higher price for the last Macaron!
As the bidding price approached ten thousand gold coins, Ren Ling sensed that things were getting out of hand and immediately called off this round of crazy auction.
She feared that if she let these Young Masters be gouged too severely, it would be difficult to do so again in the future.
So she proposed an idea: instead of competing with outrageous bids, they should compete in singing. The one with the highest score would have the opportunity to buy the last exquisite Macaron for five grams of gold.
Once the young masters calmed down, they eagerly responded to Ren Ling's call, drooling and ready to showcase their singing skills in hopes of securing the right to purchase the last Macaron.
At this moment, Cai'er approached Ren Ling, suppressing her overwhelming joy. She showed Ren Ling a glance at the ledger, which recorded that their War Strategist Office had already earned one gram of gold that night!
This was a revenue they had never achieved in all their previous Song Gatherings and various promotional events!
Most of it came from selling Macarons.
Only a portion was from the singing fees owed by the young masters to the War Strategist Office.
Ren Ling never expected that on such an unassuming night, she would effortlessly find a way to extract even more from these wealthy young masters while ensuring they enjoyed every moment—by leveraging her popularity to auction Chef Chen's delicacies!
This money-making opportunity is far more efficient than having the Young Masters sing.
Not only is it quick to earn money, but the young masters also enjoy it, and she enjoys it herself; her ears are spared from torture. It's simply a win-win situation!
Ren Xiao has truly helped her out tonight!
She must win over this Gourmet Chef named Chen Zao and have him serve the Divine Bow Corps!
This is an extraordinary talent that is hard to come by!
As Hu Rengui excitedly performed his first guitar song, Ren Ling lay on the rattan chair, contemplating this new money-making venture—she would monopolize the auction of Chef Chen's exquisite dishes at Luohan Slope in the future, ensuring that all the gluttons in Six Forts would pour their gold into the Divine Bow Corps.
With such ample military funds as support, the Divine Bow Corps would surely soar to new heights, surpassing the Cavalry Corps, Imperial Guard, and even the strongest Heavy Cavalry Corps within the Ren Family Army, leading them all!
If she could truly achieve this, it would be a tremendous honor for her family line!
Her younger brother Ren Long would also have a great chance to replace their Ren Family's leader—the commander of the Heavy Cavalry Corps, Ren Fang—and become the first successor to the next chief of Luohan Slope.
The more Ren Ling thought about it, the more she felt this was worth pursuing. She couldn't help but glance at the core figure of this matter, Chen Zao.
She saw Chen Zao crossing his arms with an impatient expression; clearly, this chef could not tolerate the noisy singing of these Young Masters like she could.
Returning to the point, this Gourmet Chef not only possesses exceptional culinary skills but also sings in a stunning and extraordinary manner!
Indeed, a perfectionist will take things to extremes in whatever they do.
Such individuals put in far more effort than ordinary people to achieve their goals and endure much greater pressure than others. That is why they can achieve enviable results; even when they boast, they have valid reasons behind it that command respect!
Ren Ling felt that she understood Chen Zao very well, as she believed that she was also quite stubborn in certain aspects, just like Chen Zao.
Ren Ling initially wanted to have Chen Zao wait until the Song Gathering was over so they could discuss their future collaboration in detail.
However, seeing that Chen Zao was becoming impatient and clearly eager to get the Silver Pots, she instructed one of her maids, "Kun, go to my study and bring out six Silver Pots, and pack them up for Chef Chen."
Chen Zao had sharp ears; upon hearing Ren Ling's words, she immediately walked over to correct her: "It's seven Silver Pots, not six. Since I helped you secure such a big deal tonight, shouldn't you treat me to a Macaron?"
"Haha, seven it is then. You really know how to do business, Chef Chen."
"Not at all; compared to you, I still have a long way to go." Chen Zao quietly teased Ren Ling, her voice low enough for only Ren Ling to hear.
Ren Ling covered her face with a smile, and her beautiful eyes met Chen Zao's fierce gaze, sparking a moment of connection. She increasingly felt that this chef was on the same wavelength as her.
To win over Chen Zao, Ren Ling generously allowed her to choose the Silver Pots herself and instructed Kun: "Take Chef Chen to my study and let her pick out seven Silver Pots she likes. Help her pack them up."
The maid named Kun led Chen Zao away from the noisy Song Gathering venue.
Ren Xiao reluctantly followed Chen Zao out, glancing back every few steps.
Her mind was still on the expensive Macarons sold earlier.
She leaned on Chen Zao's shoulder and reminded her: "Chef Chen, you've sold so many Macarons for such a high price. Aren't you going to negotiate with my Third Sister? She should at least share some of it with you, right? We can't just leave with a few Silver Pots!"
"There will be plenty of time in the future. Tonight, let's focus on securing the Silver Pots first. We can negotiate about the gold later."
Chen Zao only wanted to ensure that she could take the Silver Pots home tonight; everything else could be settled later.
After being brought to Ren Ling's study by Kun, Chen Zao was dazzled by the dozens of antique items displayed in the room that were both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
"Are these all antiques from Qianling?" Chen Zao asked in admiration.
Kun proudly replied, "Most of them are. These antiques are not something that ordinary people dare to collect. Hearing that my sister likes such antiques, many young gentlemen have given their family’s antiques as gifts to her."
Ren Xiao added, "This is just a part of what my Third Sister has collected. There are many more cursed antiques in my family's Ren Family Fortress, in my Third Sister's study. Every time my father sees them, he wants to smash them, but he loves my Third Sister too much to destroy her things."
"What smash? Just give them all to me! I'm not afraid of curses! I don't believe in evil! I love all ancient artifacts!"
Chen Zao displayed an expression of sheer delight.
If Ren Xiao was a ray of sunshine in the apocalypse, then Ren Ling was like a treasure trove!
If he could transport all this girl's antiques back to the Golden Age, who knows how many lives he could save!
Chen Zao immediately made up his mind; in the future, when he crossed over to the apocalypse, he wouldn't do anything else but stick with Ren Ling!
He would gather as many treasures as possible.
This was much faster than selling food for gold!
Without wasting any time, after taking seven of the best Gilded Silver Pots, Chen Zao left without saying goodbye, heading straight for Ren Family Fortress with Ren Xiao. He planned to enjoy a hot pot meal in the steam and celebrate the significant victory they had achieved that evening!
