At that moment, two golden flashes of light lit up at the top of the phone, and just like before, it swiftly shone toward his head, and the automated voice sounded in his mind. The two notifications appeared almost at the same time. “The Instantly Handsome Pie has the power to make any male consumer more handsome. The more you eat, the greater the effect. The ingredients required are ordinary meat…” “The Beauty Soup has the power to make any female consumer more beautiful. The more you eat, the greater the effect. Ordinary vegetables…” After experiencing the Wisdom of Herophilus and Hippocrates, Christopher’s tolerance seemed to have improved tremendously. His face was no longer pale, and after a few minutes, he finally could memorize all of it completely. What surprised him was that the recipes for Instantly Handsome Pie and Beauty Soup were rather ordinary, and the ingredients could be found anywhere. When he read until the end, however, his lips twitched. “Both Instantly Handsome Pie and Beauty Soup can only be made with the 10-second Instant Pot!”What the hell! If I didn’t just buy the 10-second Instant Pot, I wouldn’t be able to get anything done! There weren’t even any reminders from this dumb system! Christopher thought before breathing a sigh of relief. Okay, luck is on my side. Everything is alright! After that, he returned to The Serenade. After all, Brian said it would take a few hours, so he would probably hear from him by this afternoon or tomorrow. When he got off work, Christopher received a call from Brian. “Mr. Christopher, everything has been settled. You can keep the money, and don’t worry about it. But, they’re quite interested in your soup.” Hearing this, Christopher nodded. “Of course. If they’re interested, I can secretly give them half price off.” Either way, it was just soup. Even if he charged them half the price, he could still earn a lot of money. Now, he could earn a personal favor on top of that, so he was naturally happy about it. “But you may have to come by to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry tomorrow to hand in a copy of your ID and related documents, and I’ll get the rest. I’ll make sure you get your business license tomorrow,” Brian hurriedly said with a hint of joy emerging on his face. After ensuring that there weren’t any problems, Christopher hung up and went to have dinner at Samantha’s residence. When he learned that Mrs. Townsend was leaving Brentwood City the day after tomorrow to return to the countryside, his lips parted, and his face lit up at once. Finally! It looks like I’ll be able to sleep with Samanthaagain in two days! At the thought of this, Christopher merely smiled faintly, but he jumped for joy on the inside. Recomposing himself, he went back to his residence and prepared his ID card and the relevant documents. Early the next morning, he rushed to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. When he arrived at the finance division of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, he swept a glance across the place and saw the queue, but did not find Brian anywhere. As such, he sat down and dialed Brian’s number. “Mr. Christopher, you can go directly to the back of the finance division. You don’t have to queue. I’ve reserved a seat over there, so you may go and have a seat.” Hearing this, Christopher looked around in surprise and found a room at the back of the finance division. It looked like there was a desk and chair in there. Without further hesitation, he went straight to the chair and sat down. As he waited, he mindlessly scrolled and read some news on his phone. But within five minutes after he sat down, a reprimanding voice rang from next to him. “Who told you to sit here? Get lost!” Upon hearing this, Christopher frowned as his eyes directed to the person who was speaking. He was wearing a yellow T-shirt, and he had a big belly and chubby face. When he spoke, he was full of arrogance. When Christopher heard this guy who looked too arrogant for his own good, there was a touch of bemusement in his eyes. He thought this guy was probably someone who had connections. But no matter what connections he had, Christopher sat here first, and he was determined to keep this seat. “What do you think you’re doing? I, Benny Snyder, am the nephew of the finance division manager. A brat like you can’t compete with me. You better hurry and get out of this seat!” Benny sneered, not taking Christopher seriously at all, as he spoke cockily. Upon hearing the words ‘finance division manager,’ Christopher was relieved. At once, a smirk appeared on his face. “If I told you that I’m a friend of the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, would you believe me?”“Are you kidding me? You’re wearing such ragged clothes. If you’re a friend of Deputy Director Hughes, then I’d be his father! You dumb*ss!” Benny was looking at Christopher with a look of ridicule as he guffawed. At that moment, Christopher’s gaze was directed to the grim-faced man who was standing behind Benny. Instead of being enraged, the man had a faint smile on his face. “Did you say you’re the father of Deputy Director Hughes?” Just then, Brian’s glacial voice rang from outside the door. Hearing this, Benny shuddered. “Who… Who are you?” Hearing Brian’s voice, Benny couldn’t help but have a bad feeling. Hastily turning around, he saw a bespectacled middle-aged man. The middle-aged man wasn’t angry, but his authoritative aura emanating from his gaze was giving Benny goosebumps. Then, he slowly walked in from the door before slamming his palm on the desk. Bang! “I am the Deputy Director Hughes you were just talking about. What, do you really want to be my father?” Brian sneered. Upon hearing this, Benny instantly started trembling a little and took a couple steps backward. “I… I don’t believe you! I’m calling Uncle Wallace, and you’re going to regret it!” This time, Brian was laughing in anger. After carefully glancing at Christopher, he bellowed, “Go ahead! I was just going to call him over!” Benny took a deep breath. There were many pretenders in this world, so he really didn’t believe that he would actually meet the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. What a joke! How could the deputy director have so much free time to come around here? At the thought of this, Benny was much relieved, and he immediately dialed his uncle’s number. He told him what happened, and when his uncle said he would come by, his face lit up in joy. After a long while, a middle-aged man in plain clothes with thinning hair arrived. When he saw Brian, there was a shift in his expression before he hurriedly spoke to him respectfully. “Hello, Deputy Director Hughes!” Hearing these few words, Benny instantly paled.
