I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the creative director’s expression became increasingly ugly.

After hanging up the phone, he forced a smile at Shi Sui and Xiang Yi that was uglier than crying:

"I'm afraid our filming plans will have to be changed."

Xiang Yi: "Is there any accident?"

The creative director sighed and said, "In fact, our magazine was not directly responsible for contacting the owner of this castle, but rented it through an agent.

The agent just said that at the recent food festival, the Viscount tasted some Chinese food, and because he found it so unpalatable, he posted more than a dozen updates on his social media accounts, all diss Chinese food.

He heard that the castle was rented to the Chinese for filming, so..."

Xiangyi looked confused. Even in the fast-travel world, Westerners were very receptive to Chinese cuisine.

She asked curiously, "What food did he eat?"

The creative director searched for the Viscount's social media account and showed it to Xiangyi.

Xiangyi glanced at a few of them, raised an eyebrow, and discussed with Shi Sui: "It seems that this Viscount is a gourmet."

All the news is related to food.

Beautifully illustrated, well written.

When it comes to delicious food, he can praise it to the sky with exaggerated rhetoric like "delicious food given by God", "hands kissed by gods", "gift from the spirit of nature", etc. He is definitely an expert in flattery.

If something tastes bad, he will directly criticize it, with sarcasm like "It's as bad as the smell of stinky socks on a rainy day", "It's hard to swallow, the best dish today is lemonade", "If you teach a Husky to cook, I'm sure they can cook better than you", etc., and his sarcasm is sharp and to the point.

Precisely because he is not short of money, he can guarantee absolute fairness. He is also a gourmet with discerning tastes, so he has countless fans and is a well-known gourmet.

Many restaurants love and hate him. They love that his casual praise can bring huge popularity, but they are also afraid that his few complaints will cause the restaurant's business to plummet.

Xiangyi scrolled to the comments that he had dissed before, and her pretty eyebrows frowned.

"These...are just improved dishes at best, right?"

Shi Sui: "It looks a bit like dark cuisine."

More than that.

It's like devil food.

The strange and incongruous combinations are comparable to Chinese canteen dishes such as "Fried Pork with Orange and Lime" and "Fried Chili with Five-Nut Mooncakes".

The creative director was like an eggplant hit by frost, withered and without any fighting spirit, but suddenly he heard Xiangyi's gentle voice asking: "Can you contact this viscount? I think we can try harder."

The creative director smiled bitterly and said, "This matter cannot be solved by hard work. The Viscount has a strange personality. Apart from the top-notch food, other methods are useless to him..."

Xiang Yi said seriously: "I want to invite him to taste real Chinese cuisine."

The creative director hesitated and said, "Do you know any Michelin chefs? Then maybe there is still a chance..."

Xiang Yi shook her head: "Although I don't know any Michelin chefs, I know a little bit about cooking."

The creative director was very disappointed, but he couldn't bring himself to discourage this lovely oriental beauty, so he could only fake a smile and say, "I can try to contact her."

Shi Sui found a clip from "Two People in One House", which was a video of Xiangyi's cooking process and the final delicious food.

The creative director clicked play out of politeness...

…

Five minutes later...

The creative director exclaimed: "Oh my God! It's so wonderful! Watch it again! Let me watch it again!!"
