The Z delegation's venue at the Gourmet Conference is challenged by the Korea delegation, who claim a right to protest the first-come, first-served arrangement. As the US mediator tries to de-escalate, Xia Chuyi and Huo Shiqian arrive and assert Z country's claim. Huo Shiqian draws the US into the dispute, and when the US suggests private negotiation, Huo Shiqian outright refuses, deepening the conflict.

As soon as these words were spoken, the Z delegation fell silent.

Seeing this, the negotiation officer of the H delegation thought the Z side had acquiesced, and said, "Since you also agree with our view, please vacate the venue for us..."

"Heh." At this moment, Xia Chuyi’s eyes curved into crescents, and he chuckled lightly, saying, "Fried or deep-fried and nothing else? H cuisine is richer than ours?"

Xia Chu’s smile, incredibly understated, said, "There’s an old saying in Z country: ’A good wine fears no secluded alley...’"

"Well then... if H cuisine is so outstanding, there’s no need for a good venue, right?"

"After all, such excellent H cuisine will surely shine wherever it is... What do you think, my H friends?"

Ask Korea to speak?

How should Korea respond?

Admit that H cuisine doesn’t reach the level of a good wine fearing no secluded alley?

After boasting so much earlier, it’s really hard to back down now.

"You..." The Korea negotiator, a bit angry at Xia Chuyi for this obvious trap, said, "You’re just jealous!"

Xia Chuyi heard this, chuckled lightly again, and said, "Yes, we’re jealous of how varied H cuisine is, that it doesn’t even need a good venue to gain worldwide fame."

"Unlike us, who need a better venue to assist." Xia Chuyi deliberately tilted his head, looking at the very angry Korea negotiator, and said, "Or are you saying, my H friends, your H cuisine isn’t as great as you claim?"

"Our H cuisine is, of course, great..." That Korea negotiator immediately said in anger.

But as soon as he said it, he realized he had fallen into Xia Chuyi’s trap.

"Heh, then please, H delegation, do return." Xia Chuyi said calmly.

Korea wanted an "open scheme," a "swap" model to seize Z country’s venue.

But Xia Chuyi, he dug an obvious pit, forcing them to jump in themselves.

The foolish Korea who jumped into the trap, although very angry, could no longer gain any upper hand.

"Z delegation, you’re quite something!" said the Korea negotiator, "In a few days, chefs from our Da H Republic will surely visit to learn from your culinary skills!"

The Korea negotiator, looking angry, hummed coldly and instructed something in Korean to those behind him.

Then, the members of the Korea delegation all gave a disdainful glance at Xia Chuyi and his group, flung their sleeves, and arrogantly left.

After Korea’s delegation departed, Henry Secretary smiled and said, "Great, the issue is resolved."

"Now, friends of the Z delegation, please continue your work." Henry Secretary said, "I’ll also go back to continue my work."

"If there are any questions or issues, feel free to send someone to find me!"

Find him?

A guy who muddles through.

"Thank you." Although they looked down on Henry Secretary, Xia Chuyi and the others didn’t want to fall out with him and casually thanked him.

Then, they watched as Henry Secretary and the other Americans left.

"The Americans are really perfunctory about handling things!" After Henry Secretary left, the interpreter on the Z side angrily said, "It’s clearly the H country’s fault!"

In response, Huo Shiqian shook his head and said, "Alright, let’s leave it at that."

"Our main goal is still the food festival." Huo Shiqian calmly said, "If we want to impress people, we need to show results."
