I confess, I am the Mr. Richest-Chapter 435: Have Your General Manager Come See Me

张 Zhengye heard his phone ring and, surprised, took it out and opened it.

Seeing the content on the phone, Zhang Zhengye was dumbfounded.

What?

The Patek Philippe evaluation results were out?!

No way.

It’s only been about half an hour, and the Patek Philippe identification result is out?!

Zhang Zhengye looked like he’d seen a ghost.

Previously, one of his friends, a playboy from Shanghai, had also sought the official Patek Philippe authentication for a watch.

It took a full three days, a series of procedures, and the involvement of Patek Philippe’s top internal experts for authentication.

His friend’s watch was far inferior to his own.

Originally, according to Zhang Zhengye’s estimation, it would take at least three days to authenticate his Patek Philippe, possibly even five.

This was his most comforting point.

Zhang Zhengye never expected.

When Patek Philippe found out that this might be related to Chu Chen, they immediately took action.

The branch manager of Patek Philippe personally contacted the headquarters and quickly made a decision.

In less than half an hour, the result was out.

Seeing Zhang Zhengye, who looked as if he had seen a ghost, someone curiously asked,

"Old Zhang, what happened?"

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing, just some news from home."

Zhang Zhengye quickly shook his head and came up with another excuse.

No matter what, he would never spill the authentication result.

Because Patek Philippe’s official final result was identical to what that appraisal expert had given before.

His watch was a high-quality replica, while Chu Chen’s was genuine.

"Phew."

Zhang Zhengye let out a deep breath, feeling grateful that others didn’t know about this yet.

Time to slip away, he decided to slip away.

Just as Zhang Zhengye’s words were about to fall, Chu Chen’s phone also rang.

"Huh, the identification result is out?"

Chu Chen opened his phone and said in surprise.

Instantaneously, everyone’s gaze was fixed on Chu Chen and Zhang Zhengye.

Being watched by everyone, the fleeing Zhang Zhengye froze.

This...

Zhang Zhengye roared inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.

Why did Chu Chen receive the news so quickly?!

Even one second later would have been better!

He was just about to make a getaway, and now, how could he leave?

Once he left, his reputation in circles of old classmates and friends would be completely ruined!

"Mr. Chu, how did the results turn out?"

"Whose watch is genuine?"

Someone curiously inquired.

Having realized Chu Chen’s identity and wealth’s terror, they became extremely respectful towards Chu Chen and raised the level of their address.

"It’s the same as before."

Chu Chen calmly replied; this authentication result was within his expectations.

The same as before?

It turned out the appraisal expert earlier was telling the truth.

Zhang Zhengye’s watch was indeed a fake.

Zhang Zhengye brought a fake watch to show off at the gathering?!

Everyone in the room inwardly looked down on Zhang Zhengye.

"I knew it, how could Mr. Chu’s watch be fake?"

"In this country, only a top young talent like Mr. Chu is worthy of wearing such a watch."

"I think that watch doesn’t even match Mr. Chu’s looks and demeanor."

Each person uttered words of flattery towards Chu Chen.

Listening to the crowd fawning over Chu Chen, Zhang Zhengye wore an expression of anger.

Were there hidden meanings in their words?

What did they mean only Chu Chen was worthy of such a watch?!

Zhang Zhengye grumbled inwardly, but he only dared say this in his mind; in reality, he didn’t dare utter a single word.

From various angles, Zhang Zhengye was sure Chu Chen was absolutely wealthier than him.

He couldn’t offend him.

Zhang Zhengye shamefully lowered his head.

So embarrassing, truly so embarrassing!

His last ounce of comfort was gone.

His perfect plan was wrong.

"I’m leaving first."

Zhang Zhengye sighed lightly, leaving in disgrace.

Arriving at the gathering boasting and thinking it was his time to shine, to show off and flirt.

Yet, just one to two hours later, he left feeling utterly defeated.

In every aspect, Chu Chen could crush him and thoroughly beat him.

Moreover, he was comprehensively, omnidirectionally, and seamlessly crushed by Chu Chen.

What a mockery.

A huge mockery!

Following Zhang Zhengye’s departure, the slightly chubby woman who earlier ridiculed Chu Chen to please Zhang Zhengye also excused herself to the restroom and "quietly escaped."

She was afraid that Chu Chen might cause trouble for her.

After these two left, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

After finishing the meal, everyone left.

...

At night, as Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan went to dinner.

Wangjiang Pavilion welcomed an unusually mysterious guest.

A foreign man wearing glasses, after arriving at the restaurant, did not immediately place an order but observed around for a long time.

After watching for over ten minutes, the foreign man then called a server.

He ordered all the signature dishes.

Once all the dishes were served, the foreign man began slowly savoring them. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Not bad, not bad."

The foreign man muttered as he ate.

After finishing, the foreign man took out a special notebook from his bag.

The notebook prominently bore a "Michelin" logo.

It turned out the foreign man was a "Michelin Food Inspector," specifically responsible for Michelin restaurant evaluations and appraisals.

Michelin food inspectors, also known as food reviewers.

They are the most mysterious group; no one knows how many people make up their team, only that they work by "eating and enjoying."

Their work follows four principles:

Conceal identity and personally visit restaurants or hotels for dining, accommodation, grading.

Ensure any restaurant or hotel appearing in the guide is carefully selected.

Pay the bill themselves.

Annually update the guide to ensure information accuracy.

Besides, there’s one more key point: Michelin food inspectors operate alone.

Previously, Wangjiang Pavilion had applied for Michelin restaurant evaluation.

"Let your general manager come see me."

Finished with food, the foreign man arrogantly instructed the server.

"Huh?"

The server was a bit surprised.

"Tell him I am a Michelin Food Inspector, and he will certainly come to see me."

The foreign man sat there commandingly.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The server left to find General Manager Song Xinyuan.

"What?"

"A Michelin Inspector?"

After hearing, Song Xinyuan abruptly stood up from his office chair, utterly shocked.

It must be known that Michelin restaurant evaluations require fifteen repeated inspections before a verdict is reached.

Recently, through personal connections, he found out that fourteen Michelin Food Inspectors had already secretly visited before.

Now, there remained just the last, most critical one.

But what did he want from him?

None of the dozen or so previous Michelin Food Inspectors had sought him out!

"Let’s go have a look."
