Anton Shingo laughed heartily and readily agreed, "That's certainly not a problem. A restaurant with such potential truly deserves to be known by more people."
The nearby chefs heard this and showed envious expressions. This was a huge boost to the restaurant's reputation.
Yuta could no longer hold back and asked, "Mr. Ando, about the column you promised earlier."
Anton Shingo said apologetically, "Ah, that. I'm really sorry. I've decided to write about Chunguo Pavilion for the next column. Mr. Yuta, I'll write about you if there's an opportunity in the future."
Yuta laughed and said, "Is that so? Haha, that's really a shame." However, he knew in his heart that he no longer had a chance.
He was extremely displeased that his opportunity had been snatched away by two youngsters, yet he still had to feign indifference on his face, which made him even more annoyed.
Suddenly, Anton Shingo recognized Kikuchi Sonoka and couldn't help but say, "By the way, you were the Second Seat of the previous generation, weren't you?"
He was often invited by Far Moon to serve as a judge for various events, so he was quite familiar with Far Moon students. He quickly recognized that the young woman opposite him should be the Second Seat of the Elite Ten from the previous generation.
Kikuchi Sonoka smiled slightly and said in a gentle tone, "That's right, I am Kikuchi Sonoka."
Anton Shingo said in surprise, "Is that so? Then Chunguo Pavilion is your restaurant?" He became even more expectant of Chunguo Pavilion.
Kikuchi Sonoka affectionately pulled Satou closer and introduced him, "That's right. This is my sous chef, Satou. The dish just now was made by him."
Anton Shingo was immediately surprised, "That dish was made by him?" He had originally thought the dish was made by Kikuchi Sonoka, but he didn't expect it to be made by him.
Kikuchi Sonoka smiled sweetly and said, "Hmm, Satou is very amazing!"
Anton Shingo said sincerely, "Truly amazing." Looking at Satou's age, he should only be a first or second-year student, right? "Please rest assured, I will specifically promote Chunguo Pavilion in the next column."
As soon as he left, Kikuchi Sonoka happily gave Satou a big hug, "That's wonderful, Satou."
At that moment, Satou personally experienced what true large breasts felt like.
That pair of massive objects pressed against him with astonishing elasticity.
Kikuchi Sonoka released him, saw Satou's somewhat strange expression, paused, then realized what had happened, and her small face immediately turned crimson.
She covered her face and said very shyly, "Satou, I'm so sorry."
Satou lightly coughed and said, "It's okay."
Although Kikuchi Sonoka was two or three years older than him, due to her simple and approachable nature, their relationship was more like friends. However, sometimes Satou could also feel that Big sister-like gentleness from her.
Subsequently, Satou and Kikuchi Sonoka became one of the most prominent stars at this gathering.
Satou's taro puree duck dish was very popular with the guests, and Kikuchi Sonoka's dishes also had very high popularity. Their cooking stations were surrounded by guests coming to taste their food.
After all, she was the Second Seat of the previous generation, and the dishes she made were not much worse than Satou's.
According to Satou's estimation, Kikuchi Sonoka's strength should be a bit stronger than the current Second Seat, Kobayashi Rindo, but there should still be some gap between her and the First Seat, Eishi Tsukasa.
After all, Eishi Tsukasa was considered among the top in all generations of First Seats.
Kita Shuji said with a look of pleasant surprise, "This dish is absolutely amazing! To wrap bananas in chicken slices and then deep-fry them, it has both the delicate chewiness of chicken and the soft sweetness of bananas. It's truly wonderful!"
This fried banana chicken roll was Kikuchi Sonoka's dish. She cut marinated chicken into thin slices, then wrapped fresh bananas, dipped them in egg wash and breadcrumbs, and deep-fried them. She perfectly combined two distinctly different flavored ingredients, making it sweet and savory, and very creative.
Kikuchi Sonoka smiled slightly and was very happy to see her dish recognized by the guests.
Kita Shuji asked, "I would like to invite Chunguo Pavilion to provide cuisine for Kita Club. What do you think?"
Only wealthy and powerful people were allowed to join Kita Club, which provided them with truly exquisite food.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, other guests also spoke up one after another.
"Our company's internal gathering tomorrow also wants to invite Chunguo Pavilion to provide cuisine. What do you think?"
"Our president wants to host an important guest in three days, which is extremely important for our performance within a year. We would like to invite Chunguo Pavilion's chef to be the head chef for this banquet."
"And us..."
Seeing so many collaboration invitations, the eyes of the nearby chefs turned red with envy.
Yuta also looked displeased. There were only a few scattered guests in front of his cooking station, making him feel completely disgraced.
Facing so many invitations, Kikuchi Sonoka suddenly felt at a loss and subconsciously looked at Satou, wanting his help.
Everyone who noticed this scene was surprised, because Kikuchi Sonoka was the manager of Chunguo Pavilion, and also the Second Seat of the previous term. Could it be that the true backbone was actually this young man?
Satou stepped forward, lightly coughed, and said, "Everyone, please quiet down. Those with cooperation intentions can leave their business cards, and we will reply to them one by one."
After hearing this, although everyone wanted to get an immediate reply from Chunguo Pavilion, they still left their business cards and left.
Kikuchi Sonoka immediately breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Satou's sleeve, and said with lingering fear, "That really startled me just now. Everyone was so enthusiastic, I couldn't bear to refuse."
Satou said with a rare seriousness, "Kuguchi-senpai, you have to try to be brave on your own and be able to handle all of this. Otherwise, what will happen when I leave?"
Kikuchi Sonoka was stunned for a moment, stared blankly at Satou, and then her gaze gradually became firm, "Hmm, I will definitely work hard!"
Just then, a clear voice sounded, and a blonde woman in a luxurious robe walked over, "You're the man my Big sister fancies, aren't you?"
