13. The Magical Pancake
In the western suburbs, a large river flows through the area. Because its water is clear and sweet, the river is called the Clear Water River.
The Qingshui River has a good ecology and is full of fish and shrimp, making it a fishing paradise for anglers in City A.
Having learned that Wan Heng's CEO Zhao was currently fishing in the western suburbs, Chu Xiao, along with Jian Bing, gathered their gear and went to find him.
As the sun sets, the river glistens with golden light, and a robust middle-aged man with dark skin and wearing a straw hat sits on a faded stool.
Feeling the fishing line tremble, he exerted a little force in his arm, his muscles bulged, and he pulled a medium-sized grass carp out of the river.
This person was the target of Chu Xiao's visit—Zhao Yi, the vice president of Wanheng Group, whose real identity was a front man for Guoan, and who loved fishing and the family's classic pancakes.
Zhao Yi put the grass carp he caught into the plastic bucket next to the stool. The grass carp slid in and splashed around in the shallow water.
His stomach growled in protest.
He looked at the fiery red sunset on the horizon, then at the lone grass carp in the bucket, and was somewhat undecided.
Should I go back? I feel like I haven't caught enough fish today, I haven't had enough fun. But if I don't go back, it's already lunchtime, and my stomach is starting to rumble.
Zhao Yi frowned, caught in a dilemma.
Suddenly, a strong, fragrant aroma wafted on the breeze, making Zhao Yi's stomach rumble even louder.
Zhao Yi's prominent nose twitched.
He recognized the smell; it was the classic Jian family pancake, which he ate almost every day—and it was freshly made!
A series of heavy footsteps approached, and the reeds where Zhao Yi was standing were parted, revealing a tall and strong figure.
Zhao Yi looked at the unfamiliar young woman holding a small plate of fragrant pancakes and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, I am Jian Fei from the Jian family. Would you mind having some pancakes with me?"
And so, Chu Xiao led Zhao Yi to the car with a small plate of pancakes that Jian Bing had just made.
Previously, in order not to disturb Zhao Yi's fishing, Chu Xiao parked his luxury car, worth millions, 1 kilometer away from Zhao Yi's fishing spot.
The closer he got to the luxury car, the stronger the aroma of the pancakes became, and the bigger Zhao Yi's strides became.
That small plate of pancakes was gone in just two bites; it wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap. He couldn't wait to try more pancakes!
At this moment, Jian Bing is intently making pancakes in front of the luxury car.
Although the secret to Jane's pancakes' deliciousness lies in all the special ingredients, Jane Bing's pancakes are always the best when made with the same ingredients.
Because her skills were passed down from her grandparents.
Furthermore, her pancake-making skills were honed since childhood.
After she was able to work at the stove at the age of 8, Jian Bing began to learn how to make and fry pancakes. Her mastery of the heat and technique even surpassed that of her teacher.
It's no exaggeration to say that Jian Bing was born to make pancakes; she is undoubtedly the Pancake Queen!
The Pancake Queen poured the special Jane's Pancake Oil into the frying pan, then brushed the special Jane's Pancake Batter onto the pan, cracked in the special Jane's Pancake Egg, and soon a new pancake slowly took shape in the frying pan.
The pancakes are golden brown on both sides, fragrant, and crispy.
She then brushed on the secret sauce and added the secret side dishes.
When Zhao Yi arrived at the car, a freshly made pancake was just ready, and its aroma captivated him.
"This must be the distinguished guest Mr. Zhao that Feifei mentioned! Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am Jian Bing from Jian's." Jian Bing looked up, smiled, and handed the pancake to Zhao Yi. "It was just something I made casually, I hope Mr. Zhao won't mind."
"Hello, hello!" Zhao Yi stared at the pancake with wide eyes, eagerly took it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Well done!
It smells delicious!
He didn't mind at all!
It's so delicious!
After a few bites of the pancake, Zhao Yi shed tears of happiness.
"Waaah... It tastes so touching!" Zhao Yi choked up, feeling as if he had returned to his mother's womb, a feeling of being surrounded by happiness and warmth!
Thus, Chu Xiao successfully befriended Zhao Yi by using the pancakes that Jian Bing made herself.
......
Chu Xiao discovered that the pancakes Jian Bing made by hand were comparable to the Southeast Asian sorcery she knew about in the real world!
No, it's far more advanced than Southeast Asian sorcery—sorcery has a backlash, but Jian Bing's pancakes don't.
Pancakes seem to have an effect not only on the male protagonists in the original story, but also on everyone in this world.
She simply took Jian Bing to visit Zhao Yi a few times, and had Jian Bing personally make pancakes for Zhao Yi a few times, and the two sides reached a friendly cooperation agreement.
"The 'preliminary review approval letter' from General Manager Zhao really worked!" Assistant Zhang reported excitedly. "The preliminary review process normally takes three months, but we got it in just three days!"
Chu Xiao flipped through the newly issued "Overseas Investment Certificate".
She looked at the Ministry of Commerce's official seal in the lower right corner, still smelling of fresh ink, and felt it was all a little unreal.
Because General Manager Zhao opened the door wide and generously provided political cover, Chu Xiao's temporary acquisition of a small mining company allowed him to smoothly enter the African continent of Sera under the guise of "infrastructure investment."
Because she went through the streamlined process via the green channel, her company's paperwork was processed too quickly, but she now faces the predicament that her company is ready to start production at any time, yet she hasn't had time to recruit staff.
"..."
Chu Xiao sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.
Such complex transnational projects involving cooperation among multiple parties take at least a year from initial contact to final implementation in reality.
She only spent two weeks here!
She had imagined it would progress as quickly as flying in an airplane, but she never imagined it would be as fast as riding a rocket!
This is completely unscientific!
All of this is unscientific because Zhao Yi ate the pancakes made by Jian Bing, which gave him such an unbelievable "pancake speed".
Chu Xiao felt that Jian Bing's pancakes were like a god.
No wonder even the system is called the "Pancake Comeback System".
This world probably exists because of the God's Pancake!
And since Jian Bing can make the God-level Pancake, wouldn't that mean... she can achieve her goals at will with just a pancake?
However, Jian Bing doesn't seem to have any lofty ideals or cunning.
It's okay, Jian Bing doesn't have it, but she does!
Chu Xiao clenched his fist excitedly.
She unexpectedly discovered the female lead's ingenious use.
She will definitely not let Jian Bing's special talent go to waste!
She will make the best use of everything, allowing Jian Bing to shine with her special skills and realize her own value in life!
Jian Bing, who was being eyed by Chu Xiao, was currently preparing to go on a date with her new lover to the most upscale amusement park in City A.
That's right. Last time at the nightclub, she got drunk, went to the wrong room and missed out on a super handsome young man, but unexpectedly ended up having a passionate night with a cool and aloof guy.
This cool guy is one of the six male protagonists in the original novel, the legendary aloof and ascetic barbecue godfather – Shao Yichuan.
In the original novel, Shao Yichuan had psychological problems since childhood. He couldn't get an erection with anyone, and his large, imposing physique was just for show.
Until he met Jian Bing, his gun was finally able to be loaded!
In the world Chu Xiao transmigrated to, Shao Yichuan had no psychological problems, but he discovered from puberty that his second brother was unresponsive to everyone. Tests showed nothing wrong, but no matter what, he just wouldn't react.
Therefore, he was once very self-conscious and even considered becoming a monk.
But threatened by his mother with suicide by jumping off the second floor, he was forced to become a cold and abstinent man in the secular world.
28 years! He has seen countless doctors, taken countless Chinese and Western medicines, tried Arctic ice baths, Southern Indian herbal oils, and Taoist alchemy, and even endured the discomfort to try special play—he has used every scientific and unscientific method imaginable.
He thought this was how his life would be.
Until he met Jian Bing.
He discovered that his second brother could be used!
Although it only worked on Jian Bing, he still shed tears of excitement!
Jian Bing is his salvation!
His own special miracle drug!
Therefore, this woman can only be his.
Shao Yichuan clenched his fist excitedly—
So what if Jian Bing and Leng Ao are engaged? They're not married!
Even if you get married, you can still get divorced.
Even if we don't get a divorce, it's not impossible for him to be a mistress!
In short, Shao Yichuan made up his mind that for the sake of his two brothers, he must join this family!
