Chapter 49

Eileen strolled into the sushi bar, directly telling the front desk staff that she was there to take on a challenge.

The receptionist burst out laughing Realising his unprofessional behaviour, he quickly composed himself and said, “No problem” He then pointed to the highest stage and explained, “That’s where the challenge will take place. Our owner isn’t here, but we’ll play a video of him filleting a salmon. The winner will be decided by comparing who can handle a fish of the same size and weight the fastest.

Eileen raised an eyebrow, “That doesnt seem quite fair. The recorded video could have been edited, or maybe he recorded it many times and chose the shortest one. That’s a bit unfair to the challenger, isn’t it?”

The receptionist reassured her, “Don’t worry, that video is from when our owner was in a global sushi competition. Absolutely no edits. If you’re skeptical, you can find the full video online”

In reality, this so-called challenge was just a small game to attract customers. Winning didn’t come with any special rewards, just a free sushi meal. The receptionist gently explained this to Eileen, clearly not taking this “challenge” very seriously

Seeing the receptionist’s certainty, Elleen said, “Alright, I trust you” She then asked, “If I win, do I really get the most expensive deluxe meal?”

The receptionist’s eyes sparkled with mirth, “Of course,”

“Alright, let’s get the show on the road,” Eileen said, taking off her backpack and handing it to Egbert.

Egbert hesitated before accepting it, then asked with some unease. Do you know how to prepare salmon?”

Eileen replied confidently. “Of course not, I don’t like raw food”

Guided by the staff, Eileen stepped onto the challenge stage, drawing the attention of the dining customers.

The manager of the sushi bar, acting as the host, announced over the microphone that someone was challenging their owner, and the customers immediately applauded for her.

Eileen rolled up her sleeves with a smile.

The host had someone play their owner’s video on a large screen nearby. After the two-minute video was over, he asked Eileen with a smile, “Got it?”
