Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 117 - 112: A Narrow Escape

Because Tang Family’s opening was too successful, Sun Yue and Pang Xiao started to keep an eye on Pang Zhi, who was far away in Hope City, believing he was the real mastermind behind Tang Family. Whether it was Pang Zhi or ’Tang Xiao’, they were just smokescreens put up to confuse them! So, the two directly focused on Pang Zhi!

Seeing her son’s discontent, Sun Yue comforted him: "Xiao’er, don’t worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter! If Pang Zhi really dares to pull tricks right under our noses, I will make him regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Pang Xiao was convinced that Pang Zhi was the true mastermind behind Tang Family, planning to give him a memorable warning when he returned to Hope City, lest Pang Zhi continue to be imprudent!

And as for that Tang Family! Since it was Pang Zhi’s business, there was no need for it to continue to exist!

However, before Pang Xiao and Sun Yue could act, Pang Zhi had already told Pang De about the Tang Family! Naturally, he didn’t mention specifics, only saying that Pang Zhi liked it, took his pocket money to collaborate with others on a business, hoping Pang De would not stop him.

Although Pang De looked down on this spoiled little son, upon learning that he was actually willing to make progress and even used pocket money to collaborate on a business deal, he was slightly moved! Then, he specifically investigated Tang Family, thoroughly checking everything about it, but failed to uncover the true identity of ’Tang Xiao’.

Pang De, owning the entire Pang Group, naturally brushed off the likes of small restaurant Tang Family, but since this was Pang Zhi’s first business venture, and the reaction was pretty good, despite looking down on Tang Family, he still paid some attention, even secretly transferred a considerable startup fund to Pang Zhi through a private account, encouraging him to work hard! Meanwhile, he utilized his influence to gift Pang Zhi a well-located large shop in the Central District of Qinghe Catering City in the Food Empire, also providing shop renovations. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

In front of Sun Yue and Pang Xiao, he did not purposely mention his private care for Pang Zhi but did express quite a bit of satisfaction with Pang Zhi’s change, speaking in a way that greatly irritated Sun Yue and Pang Xiao!

Yet, Pang De was already aware of Tang Family’s existence, so no matter how furious Sun Yue and Pang Xiao felt, they dared not blatantly suppress Tang Family’s business. Both had immense respect for Pang De, knowing well that despite Pang De’s affection towards them, if he were to learn they suppressed Pang Zhi’s business, Pang De would undoubtedly explode in fury!

By then, neither would escape consequences!

Neither Sun Yue nor Pang Xiao wanted Pang De to see their true nature, nor did they want Pang De to be disappointed in them, thus the plan to suppress Tang Family had to be put on hold, seeking alternatives elsewhere!

But while they temporarily dared not overtly suppress Tang Family, they had no such concern regarding Pang Zhi. Since Pang Zhi failed to awaken Pang De’s Gold Ability, instead awakening his mother Zhao Yun’s Water Ability, and only at a C Level, Pang De was utterly disappointed and basically ignored him while instead grooming Pang Xiao as the heir.

So Sun Yue and Pang Xiao did not worry about Pang De noticing their little tricks targeting Pang Zhi!

At this moment, Tang Yiyi and Pang Zhi were unaware that because of Pang De’s intervention, they had temporarily evaded trouble, yet Pang Zhi was suffering direly from Sun Yue and Pang Xiao’s antics!

It had been five days since Tang Family’s physical store opened. After intense discussions among netizens, the event gradually cooled down. Seeing the time was about right, Tang Yiyi issued an announcement of a live lottery event to be held at Tang Family’s physical store this weekend. The announcement immediately caught everyone’s attention.

After all, the previous "Guessing with Prize" activity’s results had been revealed, but aside from Tang Yiyi announcing the list, the lottery time was not disclosed, which left both those who guessed correctly and incorrectly unsettled. Now that Tang Yiyi issued a specific time, these people naturally focused promptly.

Organizing a live lottery wasn’t difficult; Tang Yiyi had already considered different level prizes early on, with the rest of the logistics left to the staff to prepare.

Due to the grand prize being Ant Egg Soup, there was considerable attention on this matter, especially from those fortunate enough to have guessed the correct answer and earned a lottery opportunity, who were nervously excited in the final time, even dreaming of winning the grand prize during sleep!

Come the weekend, with the dawn barely breaking, Tang Family wasn’t even open for business, yet impatient people were already waiting outside the door, their eyes fixed on the closed shop door like fearing the Ant Egg Soup might fly away the next instant. As soon as the business hours arrived and the staff opened the shop door, those outside rushed in impatiently.

These people didn’t even bother finding seats; upon entering, they headed directly to the staff, anxiously asking when the lottery would begin, and confirming if the grand prize was indeed Ant Egg Soup as stated in the previous announcement.

The staff were interrogated continuously, while Tang Yiyi, the instigator behind this, was leisurely lying on a special massage chair for pregnant women, enjoying what could be described as professional massage with eyes closed.

She was almost three months pregnant, her belly slightly protruding, looking similar to having a small belly, with no other noticeable impacts. Tang Yiyi specifically consulted Pudding, knowing she could undertake non-strenuous exercises, thus she worked out a bit every day, followed by massages on a special maternity chair, so aside from the slightly prominent belly, her other body parts hadn’t changed much, muscles remained taut, and her body lines graceful as always.

Calculating the time post-massage, Tang Yiyi got up, changed clothes, and headed out.

At this time, there was still an hour before the lottery event was set to start. She received notifications that everyone on the list had already arrived. She quickened her pace towards the event venue.

The lottery event venue was in the courtyard inside the building, already prearranged, and upon her arrival, the listed attendees were seated under staff’s guidance, with food placed beside them.

At other times, these people would surely have been indulging themselves, yet now, they appeared distinctly distracted, their gaze wandered, rarely glancing at the food on the table.

Tang Yiyi knew they were eagerly awaiting the lottery, naturally for the grand prize of Ant Egg Soup!

Sure enough, as soon as she arrived on the scene, these people lit up, excitedly looking towards her! Some even boldly voiced a question loudly, "Chef Tang! Seeing we are all here, can the lottery start now?" (To be continued.
