Chapter 310 Loose Sand
Shen Cong and Xu Qing, who were walking in the distance, also heard their conversation. After all, they did not avoid others when talking, and they even deliberately spoke loudly to express their dissatisfaction.

Therefore Shen Cong heard it clearly.

The person who spoke was his opponent, whose name was Liang Feng.

When the president of the Grand Alliance was elected, Liang Feng lost by two votes. He had been feeling resentful ever since and often made trouble for Shen Cong, trying every way to pull Shen Cong down from the position of president.

Even if Shen Cong invited someone else instead of Xu Qing this time, Liang Feng still had an excuse to express his dissatisfaction.

It’s just that Xu Qing’s age gives him more room to display his abilities.

Whatever Shen Cong supported, Liang Feng would oppose.

This is the principle Liang Feng has always followed.

Shen Cong had long been unhappy with Liang Feng, but there was nothing he could do. The power behind Liang Feng was not small, so Shen Cong could only swallow his anger and put the overall situation first.

Although he is the president of the Great Union, the Great Union is not owned by him alone. As the president, he still has to act according to the wishes of others, and he will be attacked by everyone if he is not careful.

Liang Feng is not the only one who covets the position of president.

Liang Feng saw Shen Cong coming over and said sarcastically, "President Shen, long time no see. We are feeding mosquitoes in the wilderness every day, but you are so relaxed."

Shen Cong smiled and said, "Vice President Liang has worked hard and made great contributions. I can't compare to him. For an incompetent person like me, I can only find ways to ask others for help. I can't do it alone. After all, I'm not as good as Vice President Liang. I just don't know how many times Vice President Liang has won these days?"

"you!"

Liang Feng became furious when his sore spot was touched.

Shen Cong apologized, "Oh, sorry, I said the wrong thing. I should have asked how many times he lost. Could it be that Vice President Liang can't even remember how many times he lost?"

Liang Feng's face turned visibly red, brighter than a cooked crab, and combined with his slightly dark skin, he really looked like a greasy girl.

Not only could he not win the argument, but he also lost so badly in terms of strength. Liang Feng was so angry that his brain was congested and he almost got hurt.

Several leaders on the side were watching the fun with smiles on their faces. Shen Cong and Liang Feng, the two sworn enemies, always act like this and everyone is used to it.

And no matter which of these two people loses, it will be a good thing for them.

After all, the benefits are limited, and the leading position of the big alliance is a little too much.

Shen Cong, who saw this scene, won the verbal battle with Liang Feng, but he sighed in his heart.

Can the Chefs Association really unite?

Just look at the way they are fighting against each other and scheming against each other. How can this be called a great alliance? It is clearly a pile of loose sand.

After all, they are still too young. No matter in terms of identity, strength, or status, the leaders are almost the same, so no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

Unless someone appears who can surpass everyone in reputation, achievement or strength, so that they have to obey, even if they don't obey, they can only keep it in their hearts. Only in this way can the scattered alliance be reorganized into a whole.

And this is Shen Cong’s real purpose.

He wanted to take back the legendary kitchen utensils to make his own reputation reach the peak and surpass everyone. Only in this way would he have the opportunity to completely integrate the Great Union, so that the Great Union could have a longer-term development and the emerging Shanghai kitchen world could have the capital to compete with other local forces.

And everything in front of him was the best opportunity he had encountered in many years, the opportunity that could best widen the gap between him and others.

The mysterious man was like a mountain, blocking everyone out. No matter how hard they tried or what means they used, they could not cross it.

If he could climb over this mountain and conquer it, his reputation and fame would naturally surpass everyone else, and no one else would ever be able to compare with him, because there wouldn't be a second mysterious person or a second legendary kitchenware in Shanghai to help them improve their reputation.

But as Shen Cong himself said, he couldn't do this with his own abilities alone.

Not to mention his declining strength now, even when he was at his peak, he was still far behind the mysterious man. Not to mention the mysterious man, even Chef Tang could easily crush him. When Chef Tang was defeated by the mysterious man, Shen Cong realized that the Shanghai culinary world was defeated and he had to find someone else to break the deadlock.

At this moment, the news of Xu Qing's victory and the recognition of the legendary kitchenware came, which made Shen Cong grab this only life-saving straw.

Shen Cong's ambition, the great alliance and the future of Shanghai's culinary world now all rest on Xu Qing alone.

Although most of his previous words to Xu Qing were compliments, some of them were sincere. He said that the future of Shanghai's culinary industry rests on Xu Qing's shoulders alone, and this was not false.

So what about Xu Qing?
Does he realize the burden on his shoulders and the mission he is carrying out?
Not at all.

Xu Qing didn't care about these. His purpose of coming here was just to do his job.

Satisfy your curiosity and don't hand over the legendary kitchen utensils to ambitious people.

In Xu Qing’s heart, no matter how powerful or spiritual the legendary kitchen utensils are, they are just kitchen utensils after all.

Kitchen utensils should not be used for anything other than cooking, let alone to control people's minds or achieve one's own ambitions.

Where there is power, it breeds ambition, greed, desire, and countless things that come with it. And the legendary kitchen utensils are part of the power.

Xu Qing cannot fight against the greed in human nature. All he can do is try to put this power in the hands of the right people, those who will not develop ambitions because of it.

So is the person in front of you the right one?

Xu Qing looked at the mysterious man in front of him. He was a young man with extraordinary appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He had an attractive aura that made people feel three inches shorter in front of him.

At this moment, this mysterious young man stared at Xu Qing with his captivating eyes and asked, "Are you Xu Qing?"

Xu Qing replied: "Yes."

"I have long admired my name."

"You're welcome."

"I'm not being polite. I have heard your name many times. From ordinary people, from my companions, and from my enemies. It can be said that I came here just for you."

"Come for me? Then you've come to the wrong place. I'm not from the Shanghai culinary world."

"It doesn't matter. Any place doesn't matter. As long as there are legendary kitchen utensils, you or people from the dark cuisine world will appear near them. This is what the kitchen utensils told me."

This mysterious person is actually someone who can communicate with kitchen utensils?

Xu Qing asked, "Are you also the heir of the legendary kitchenware?"

The man shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it won't be long before it becomes so."

Xu Qing frowned. This guy was being mysterious. If he wasn't the heir of the kitchenware, how could he talk to the legendary kitchenware?

Xu Qing knew Yong Ling Dao's character, and he was very arrogant. Even if he was the heir, Yong Ling Dao would not submit to him, and even wanted to dominate him.

As for other kitchen utensils, I'm afraid it's about the same.

This person is not the heir of the legendary kitchen utensils, but he says that he can communicate with the legendary kitchen utensils. He is probably bragging.

Therefore, Xu Qing did not take his words to heart and said, "I have said so much, but I haven't asked for your name yet."

"My name? If you want to know, then defeat me. Because those who lose to me are not worthy of knowing my name."
