They were really taken by surprise.

The reason is that Hu Xiaobei looks incredibly young!

As food critics, they deal with food almost every day, so they've interacted with the Xiaobei Brand more than once!

After engaging with it, they found Xiaobei Brand's vegetables and fruits to be excellent...

In their perception, the founder of Xiaobei Brand should be an older individual!

They unconsciously believed this because they know it takes a very long time to develop a new brand, so young people lack the time to do so...

Having formed this preconception early on, seeing someone as young as Hu Xiaobei left them utterly stunned...

Noticing their surprised expressions, the beautiful woman smirked and whispered, "At first, I was also surprised to know Hu Xiaobei was so young. But then, after some thought, I realized it's normal because there truly are geniuses in this world!"

"Indeed! What you said makes sense!"

Nodding in agreement, the surprise in their eyes gradually faded...

At this point, one of the critics suddenly spoke with urgency!

"Everyone, earlier Chen Long mentioned Hu Xiaobei as his benefactor. Does it mean that the pheasant he roasted was cultivated by Hu Xiaobei?"

"I think it's very likely!"

"Me too!"

Hearing this incredulous query, the other two pondered briefly and nodded vigorously...

They understood that since Hu Xiaobei could develop Xiaobei Brand, he could undeniably cultivate incredible pheasants...

Upon hearing the speculations of the three critics, the woman in a dark uniform turned and gazed at Hu Xiaobei intently...

Previously, she thought Chen Long was quite impressive!

But now, with Hu Xiaobei here, she felt Chen Long paled in comparison!

"Perhaps... I can make Master Bei pay more attention to me! This way, I might have a chance to climb higher!"

Having this thought, she looked warmly at Hu Xiaobei...

Soon, she also noticed Song Yaling standing beside Hu Xiaobei.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel disheartened!

Though she believed her looks and figure were decent, compared to Song Yaling, there was simply no contest!

"Looks like winning over Master Bei's favor won't be easy!"

As she contemplated this, Pan Jun, who had been competing with Chen Long, clenched his fist tightly...

He had heard of Hu Xiaobei's name before from Chen Hu!

But he never paid any attention!

Because the information he received was that Hu Xiaobei was just a farmer, hence no concern!

Now he realized his previous arrogance!

He might be a farmer, but he's the kind of farmer that Pan Jun cannot afford to provoke...

Pan Jun wasn't foolish; he could see everyone present was utterly idolizing Hu Xiaobei!

In a situation like this, even saying a single bad word about him would lead to instant ostracism...

...

"This time, I've truly lost! And it's complete and utter defeat!"

With a bitter sigh, Pan Jun looked deeply at Hu Xiaobei and silently turned to leave...

He knew staying any longer would only bring more humiliation...

Before, Pan Jun was full of arrogance, attracting attention from many!

But now, not a single person was observing him, allowing him to easily slip away...

"If I could do it over, I truly wish I hadn't betrayed Chen Long! But now, it's too late to change anything!"

With a hoarse sigh, Pan Jun raised his arm and slapped his face in frustration...

He knew this time he was utterly routed!

And most importantly, he had caused many of his investors to suffer great losses...

He realized he needed to compensate for their losses, meaning he'd have no chance to rise again in this lifetime...

...

"Master Xiaobei, this way please!"

"Sure!"

Nodding, Hu Xiaobei and Chen Long quietly walked onto the stage...

Seeing Hu Xiaobei's confident expression, Song Yaling whispered, "This little rascal is truly made for such grand events!"

Song Yaling really admired Hu Xiaobei at this moment because she knew she'd be nervous facing so many people!

Since partnering with Hu Xiaobei, Song Yaling's enterprise had been growing rapidly!

This had allowed her to gradually meet more people, but even so, she often felt nervous...

"Seeing everyone's excitement is so wonderful!"

Onstage, Hu Xiaobei glanced at everyone present, a gentle smile emerging at the corners of his mouth...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei quietly began to speak, "Everyone, I don't think I need to introduce myself in detail because you all know me, right?"

"Yes!"

Responding to Hu Xiaobei's playful remarks, everyone replied in unison...

Hearing this unanimous reply, Hu Xiaobei grinned, then quickly gestured to Chen Long standing behind him, saying, "Chen Long, who you all know, needs no introduction! Previously, the pheasant Chen Long used to make roast chicken was a new breed I cultivated. In the future, I'll continue collaborating with Chen Long to make more roast chickens, and I hope you'll all try them!"

"Absolutely!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's words, everyone nodded excitedly...

Even hearing such enthused responses, Hu Xiaobei chuckled...

He realized that the roast chicken had now garnered quite the reputation, so his next step was aggressively expanding its production...

...

"Sister Song, take your time. The whole chicken is yours; I promise I won't compete with you!"

"You better not, otherwise I'll fight tooth and nail with you!"

Speaking in this way, Song Yaling reached out to quickly guard the remaining half of the roast chicken.

Hearing Song Yaling's protective comment, Hu Xiaobei unconsciously rubbed his nose...

Earlier, after everything was over, Hu Xiaobei and Song Yaling prepared to leave and find a place to chat. At that time, Song Yaling said she wanted to taste the roast chicken...

Hu Xiaobei agreed, so he roasted one for her in the small courtyard behind Chen Long's branch...

Before tasting the roast chicken, Song Yaling could calmly chat with Hu Xiaobei. But after sampling its flavor, she went crazy...

This left Hu Xiaobei a bit helpless, prompting him to specifically remind her earlier...
