Someone was crying and sobbing.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man in the corner. He was holding a plate of spaghetti and eating it, but he could not stop sobbing.
Sebastian got excited and said, âStop eating. It tastes bad, right? Letâs go. Iâll treat everyone to delicious food.â
As he spoke, he was about to take away the plate from the manâs hand.
The man took the plate back and said, âGive it back to me. This is mine!â
Sebastianâs mouth twitched, âSince you donât know whatâs best for you, weâll go instead!â
Someone asked curiously, âIs it really that delicious? Is it that tasty that it can make you cry?â
The man sniffled and said, âYummy, itâs so yummy!â
Although many people had never been to Treasure Restaurant, they had eaten luxurious food before. After all, it was inevitable in their line of work.
However, they had never seen a person cry because of a plate of spaghetti!
In particular, it was a spaghetti that had been simply made.
The crowd which was about to leave, stopped in an instant.
âWhy donât we give it a try?â
Sebastian snorted and said, âWell, since everyone wants to try it, then letâs try!â
He just could not believe it. It was impossible for a simple plate of spaghetti to beat the food served at Treasure Restaurant.
Sebastian went back to his seat, looked at the plate in front of him and said, âGive me a fork. Iâll have a taste.â
Harper quickly grabbed a fork. Before Sebastian could take a bite, the people beside him had already started eating. All of them were moved to tears.
âIt reminds me of my mother! Back then, we were poor. My mother was a chef. Every time, she would bring home some leftovers. She would cook the leftovers with spaghetti to serve it to our family.â
The manâs words seemed to have evoked other peopleâs memories.
For the people of this generation, many of them had gone through hard times. Later on, when their lives got better, they rarely ate dishes like this ever again.
Food like this was something that only existed in their memories.
At first, the people began to discuss their memories one by one, which then led to the whole group to talk about their own. Everyone seemed to see the light after eating the spaghetti Sebastian stood there in a daze. When he saw the passionate discussion happening among the crowd, he was startled.
He took a bite of the spaghetti with suspicion. With just a bite, a burst of taste filled his entire mouth.
Although he was from a rich family, Roger wasnât the most reliable when he was young. At that time, they hadnât had the protection of the Granger family, so they did not live a good life either.
There was one time when he had been starving.
He had walked into a neighborâs house. The neighbor was a kind woman. When she saw how thin Sebastian was, she pitied him a little.
It so happened that there had been leftovers at home, so she mixed everything up with the spaghetti and served it to him.
The aroma of the dish filled the room instantly.
Just looking at it, he had felt him stomach grumbling. Before the woman could put the plate on the table, he had already grabbed the plate.
Then, he quickly gobbled down the food. When he was almost done eating, he actually felt sad for a moment.
What would he do if he couldnât have food like this in the future?
âSebastian? Sebastian?â
Someone was nudging his arm, and he came back to his senses. Rogerâs face was right in front of him.
âWhatâs wrong with you? Iâve been calling your name repeatedly. Howâs the food?â
Sebastian sniffled and blinked away the tears in the corner of his eyes.
âItâs just so-so.â
âButâ¦â Roger looked behind Sebastian. At that moment, the group of people, who had stayed back, looked like they were eating the most delicious food in the world. They held the plate and were reluctant to let go.
It seemed that they would not be going to Treasure Restaurant.
Sebastian frowned and got up to look at Eudora.
âWhat the hell is going on? What are you trying to prove here? Itâs delicious because youâve added the Granger family secret recipe, right?â
As soon as Sebastian finished his words, everyone raised their heads as they were interested in the gossip.
They almost forgot that they were here for serious business!
When Sebastian mentioned the secret recipe of the Granger family, everyone looked at the spaghetti in surprise. The food was really delicious. Was it really because of the secret recipe?
Eudora chuckled.
She then opened her mouth, âDo you really think itâs because of the secret recipe?â
âIsnât it? If the secret recipe of the Granger family isnât actually that good, how can the business of the Granger family still be so popular till this day? Hand the secret recipe over to me!â
Eudora nodded, âAlright, donât you all want to look at the secret recipe? The secret recipe is indeed in my hands. I can show them to you all.â
Sebastian became anxious, âDonât take it out! Thatâs the secret recipe of the Granger family. Why would you show it to them?! Give it to me!â
Eudora ignored him, took the secret recipe out of her bag, and opened it in front of everyone.
In an instant, countless cameras started flashing.
It was an old piece of paper that had turned yellow. It was filled with words, but they were tiny.
Sebastian was raging, âYouâre crazy, Eudora George. Youâre a crazy b*tch!â
He could choose not to take the secret recipe, but he could not let any outsiders take advantage of it.
As Sebastian was speaking, he was about to grab the secret recipe when Eudora suddenly turned around and showed the secret recipe to him.
To his surprise, at the bottom of the paper, there were only a few words, âPut your heart and soul into it!â
The text above was just an ordinary food menu.
âThis isnât our familyâs secret recipe. Thatâs impossible!â Sebastian shook his head, âYou must have hidden our secret recipe. You donât want us to obtain the secret recipe, so youâve replaced it.â
Eudora smiled faintly, âThese were all written by the ancestors of the Granger family. You should be able to tell that out at a glance! Why would I replace it? Dear shareholders, would you like to take a look?â
Hearing that, the shareholders all stepped forward and surrounded the recipe.
After looking for a while, everyone nodded, âIt seems so!â
âYes. There was a part in the employee handbook of the company that showed the handwritten rules by the founder of Valiant East. The handwriting looks just like this.â
âThis really is the secret recipe of the Granger family! It turns out that the secret recipe is not as mysterious as the rumors. No matter what, itâs just to put your heart and soul in it.â
Everyone was surprised.
Eudora added, âNow, fellow shareholders, do you know why Iâve brought you all to the canteen? I hope that no matter what, you can remember the core principle of Valiant East. That is to put your heart and soul into everything you do and take one step at a time. Looking for shortcuts wonât bring us far!â
Everyone lowered their heads in shame. They felt ashamed to be lectured by a young woman!
Sebastian was not willing to give up, âWhy are you saying all this nonsense? Iâve won! How do you know that I wonât be able to stay on the top for a long time?â
Just as he finished his words, Harper ran towards him in a rush.
âBad news, Mr. Granger.â
Sebastianâs face darkened, âWhat are you shouting on about?â
âT-thereâs a problem regarding the charity project!â
