After that, the servers brought in a dozen of well-designed dish trays. The size of those dish trays was pretty much the same. They should be serving the same thing to everybody. Also, the food on the dish trays was covered by a semicircular dish cover. Then, the servers placed a set of fork and knife in front of every single guest.
"Eh? Does this mean that Xiaobai actually solved the food problem?"
Xiaoyao opened her eyes wide and said curiously, "Those dish trays and tableware are really beautiful. I don't think the food is going to be disappointing."
She lifted the cover while talking.
"This…What the hell is this…?"
Nine of ten people in the ballroom had the same question when they lifted the cover. They were stunned because there was only a quarter size of fruit on the dish tray. Yes! You heard it right! A quarter!
This is just too damn stingy!
Also, the skin of the fruit was not peeled! The hairs on the fruit skin could be seen clearly!
Oh, God!
How can one have served this kind of food to their guests?
Everyone was left there, petrified.
All these rich people here always have their fruit skin peeled by their servants before they put it in their mouth. Some even had their servants cut their fruits in some kind of fancy pattern! They can't believe the first dish of this charity dinner is a quarter size of fruit with skin on it!
However, they found out that they have made a wrong assumption the next second! A huge one indeed!
"I believe that everyone knows that the fruit in front of you is a peach. Everyone must be curious why did I serve this quarter size of peach as the first dish, right?"
Chen held the microphone in his hand and continued to say happily, "This is not a dessert! This is not the first dish either! This is the only thing that I will serve you today!"
"What?!"
Everyone was beyond shocked when they heard the bad news.
"Are you kidding me? You are asking us to eat a quarter size of peach as out dinner?!"
"And, it's a quarter size! Not a full-size peach!"
"Plus, the skin has not been peeled from the peach! How are we supposed to eat this shit?!"
"Mr. Chen! This must be a joke!"
"We will not donate a single cent if you can't satisfy our taste buds!"
.....
The whole place turned chaotic pretty quickly. All of them didn't even care to look at the quarter-size of peach on their plates. Those women that born with silver spoon started to cover their mouths and acted like they were going to vomit. There's no way for them to eat the peach with skin!
Yap quickly grabbed hold to this golden opportunity to humiliate Chen. He lifted up his plate and smashed it on the ground as hard as possible. Then, he banged the table hard and pointed at Chen, "You! Chen! What the hell is this shit?! Are you treating us like some kind of beggar? Is this how you treat us when we take out our time to come and support you?! This is pure arrogance!"
More and more negative comments started to surface after Yap stood up and criticized Chen publicly. One can see that Elder Han was not happy about it as well. He did enjoy Chen's singing just now but he was extremely uncomfortable with Chen's poor manner. He had never experienced something like this in his entire life.
On the other hand, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang were not angry at all. They were actually puzzled by it.
Wu Junfan frowned and complained, "Xiaobei! Wrong move! I feel embarrassed for you…"
"Shit…Shit…The charity dinner that I poured my heart in is completely ruined by this stupid Chen!" Xiaoyao gritted. She was so worried that her eyes started to get teary.
"Xiaoyao…Don't worry…Xiaobei did not ruin this dinner…"
Lan smiled and consoled Xiaoyao. Then, she lifted up her plate and walked onto the stage.
"Eh? What is Mengchen trying to do?" Wu Junfan was puzzled.
"She is going to become a model for Chen." Lan Zhengguo put on a mysterious smile.
"A model?"
Everyone was shocked as well. They had their attention landed on the stage.
"Xiaobei. Can you hold on to his plate for me?"
Lan smiled and handed over the plate to Chen.
"It's my pleasure to serve my goddess."
Chen put on a bright smile and held the plate in front of Lan with both of his hands. Then, she started to use the knife and fork to cut the peach gently. This simple yet elegant move mesmerized every single man in the ballroom. And, ladies were envious of her but they just couldn't hate her. Finally, the small piece of peach that she cut was being delivered through her snow-white teeth and landed on her soft pinkish tongue. She took her sweet time to chew it passionately. Lastly, she swallowed it slowly and gently.
A happy and bright smile started to form on her face. Her gorgeous and satisfying smile managed to stun everyone in the ballroom. Chen picked up the microphone and asked, "Next, I would like to ask my goddess to describe the taste of this peach!"
"Erm…"
Lan bit her lips softly, smiled, and said, "That's the taste of first love!"
"POM!"
Everyone was triggered by her comment.
"Oh my God! That Lan goddess is famous for her ice-cold personality! How did that peach manage to melt the iciness of her?!"
"The taste of first love! It must be really sweet!"
"I must try this peach after Lan goddess described it!"
"Even the goddess ate it with the skin on! I shouldn't complain anymore! Everyone, I'm going to eat first!"
.....
Everyone lifted their forks and knives and started to work on their pieces of peach.
"Goddess, it's such a waste of talent if you don't go and shoot some advertisements!" Chen lifted up his thumb to her and said.
"Stop with your sweet talking! I want a bag of peach as my reward for helping to promote the peach! Deliver them to me tomorrow!" Lan pouted jokingly.
"Haha! Sure thing!" Chen laughed.
"Oh my God! This is so damn delicious!"
Han Xiannian, Murong Tian and Wu Zhebang were truly impressed by the taste of the peach.
"Damn! This is tooooo damn good! I feel like I'm jumping around in the clouds! I feel so good!" Xiaoyao supported her chin on both of her hands and put on a contented smile.
"You guys are exaggerating! What the hell!"
Wu still acted like a gentleman. He cut a small piece of peach gently and put it into his mouth.
"Okay!!!!"
He opened his eyes wide the next second and said, "This is so yummy! I want to eat it while kneeling down!"
On the other hand, Yap gulped.
He asked, "Mr. Dai…Can I have a small piece of it…?"
"No…" Daiyu quickly put the whole piece of peach into his mouth.
"You…"
Yap could only look at the others' satisfied faces. He almost cried when he took a look at the plate that he had smashed on the floor.
