The young man next to them was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that an ordinary-looking young man, who casually cooked three dishes, could produce such a magical aroma, something he had never encountered in his time as a chef.

It wasn't just this young chef who felt this way, let alone the diners who were originally just having coffee and chatting. At this moment, they were all attracted by the aroma in the restaurant.

Even the idle waiting staff were drawn to the fragrance, all whispering and looking in the direction of the kitchen.

"What is this smell? Why is it so fragrant?"

"It must be Chef Si Linman cooking a new dish."

"That's impossible. Chef Si Linman has already finished work and gone home. I guess he won't be back tonight."

"If it isn't Chef Si Linman, then who could be cooking? This aroma is too delightful, too addictive."

"We're not busy right now. Why don't we sneak over and have a look? We'll know once we see."

"Sure, let's hurry over then."

By this time, Ling Zhenfei had already finished cooking the red wine pheasant and the vegetable salad, and along with the stir-fried beef, he and Ji Mei brought out the three dishes and returned to their seats.

The nearby waitstaff, smelling the aroma of the dishes, were all abuzz.

"Who is that? He's not the head chef."

"I don't know, but the aroma surrounding the dishes seems really appetizing."

"Was it this young man who cooked them? That's incredible. I really want to taste it."

Just like the waitstaff, the diners around them were also looking in Ling Zhenfei's direction, curious to see what kind of person could cook dishes that were so appetizing.

For Ling Zhenfei, however, it was just a very ordinary third dish, nothing too special.

"This is amazing. Just looking at it makes my mouth water," Ji Mei said blankly, staring at the dishes on the table.

"It's about time. The temperature now is just right for eating," Ling Zhenfei said, picking up his chopsticks as if to grab a piece of beef, but Ji Mei called out first.

"Wait, let me take a photo."

Ling Zhenfei had no choice but to stop and wait for Ji Mei to take photos. Ji Mei took a few pictures with her phone and seemed very satisfied.

"Okay, we can eat now," Ji Mei said, and then couldn't wait to start eating.

"Wow, this is so delicious. How can this beef be so tasty? I'm sure this is the best beef I've ever had, no, it must be the best food I've ever had."

"This pheasant, the meat is so tender, it's truly delicious."

"This vegetable salad is different from what I usually eat. It's so unique. The flavor is amazing, and the texture is really nice."

Ji Mei kept eating and commenting, and her excitement was just indescribable.

Ling Zhenfei shook his head: "If you think this vegetable salad is good, then I must say you've really been suffering. If you have time to go to Binyang or some other city, and if you can eat the vegetable salad at Xishan Manor, that would be the happiest thing in life."

Ji Mei was stunned: "Xishan Manor's vegetables?"

"Exactly, their vegetables are dozens of times tastier than this."

"Is it really that exaggerated? Why haven't I heard about it?" Ji Mei had never imagined that any vegetable could be ten times tastier than usual. To her, weren't all vegetables the same?

Originally, she thought Ji Mei, being a girl, would eat very little, but surprisingly, Ji Mei finished the entire plate of stir-fried beef, half a plate of vegetable salad, and nearly half a pheasant.

"I swear, if I could eat any more, I would have finished it all. I really wonder whether you are a doctor or a chef," she said.

Ji Mei looked at Ling Zhenfei incredulously, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"I just have a wide range of interests, I usually don't have time to cook," Ling Zhenfei honestly admitted.

"There's a lot about you online, and I'm quite curious about you. Do you have a girlfriend?" Ji Mei asked while eating.

Ling Zhenfei was startled for a moment, not knowing why Ji Mei would ask such a thing: "Not yet, I don't like a confined lifestyle."

"That's strange. Last night, I read a lot of rumors. What's your relationship with your agent? Don't be mad, we're just chatting," she said.

"He's a good friend of mine. I am not planning to marry yet, so I haven't looked for a girlfriend. However, if I decide to get married, it would probably happen very fast."

"I believe that. The line of girls chasing you must stretch all the way to Binyang," Ji Mei said, laughing with Ling Zhenfei.

Although it was their first meeting, Ji Mei seemed as if she and Ling Zhenfei were old friends, with no awkwardness or restraint, which made Ling Zhenfei quite fond of her.

As a TV superstar, it was rare for her to be so unpretentious.

At that moment, Ling Zhenfei took out a small bottle from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and placed it on the table.

"This is the Beauty Pill, something Chu Bingqing wants. You can pass it on to her."

Ji Mei incredulously asked Ling Zhenfei, "Is this Beauty Pill really as effective as they say?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Yes, taking the Beauty Pill regularly can indeed achieve the effect of everlasting youth."

Ji Mei picked up the small bottle and said, "There are four pills inside. Are two of them for me?"

"Correct, two are for you. The Beauty Pill is beneficial, but you only need to take it once every six months. Its shelf life isn't very long; two pills a year is enough."

A look of disappointment crossed Ji Mei's face: "So, what am I supposed to do after I finish both pills in six months?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. He had never met anyone like her. It was a bit ungrateful. She was freely given two pills, and yet she was still asking what to do after those were gone.

He certainly couldn't give her pills for a lifetime. They had only known each other for a short time, and giving her two elixirs for free was already very generous.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's expression, Ji Mei suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, Divine Doctor Ling. I'm not trying to demand anything from you, I just think we could possibly collaborate."

"How so?" Ling Zhenfei was very curious.

Ji Mei took out a business card and handed it to Ling Zhenfei.

When Ling Zhenfei took the card and read it, he was surprised and said, "Mei Fei Sales Group Chairman, aren't you an actress?"

Ji Mei laughed, "The entertainment industry is tough to navigate, so I've almost quit. Being a businesswoman is my main job now, while acting is just a side job."

"My store is called Mei Fei, and we have branches in many cities across the country. So I was thinking we could have a collaboration, where you sell your Beauty Pills at my stores. It would be a win-win cooperation."
