Chapter 1057: Forty-One

"Sorry," Xia Chuyi said, "I love my country very much, and I’ve never considered staying here."

Xia Chuyi could tell that Emily didn’t say it intentionally but rather spoke from what she observed as truth, which is why she said those words.

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi’s words, Emily was quite frustrated and said, "This matter is my fault."

"You are someone who loves your country deeply, and I really admire you," Emily said, "I was reckless just now."

Emily’s apology was sincere, so Xia Chuyi didn’t make it difficult for her and simply said, "It’s okay; you spoke without thinking."

"Thank you for your understanding," Emily continued, "So, can I just introduce you to Rayne?"

"I can’t learn your culinary skills, but maybe their chef could exchange some skills with you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was about to refuse.

Emily seemed to see her intention and immediately blinked her big blue eyes, pleading, "Please, I beg you, just agree!"

"The Bao Family’s chefs are really good!" Emily said, "You will definitely gain a lot!"

No matter what Emily said, Xia Chuyi still planned to clearly refuse. However, upon hearing the word "Bao," she paused slightly.

"Did you just say, Bao Family?" Xia Chuyi asked Emily.

"Yes, Bao Family, why?" Emily, with less than perfect pronunciation, replied, "Bao is Rayne’s Chinese surname, and their elders value this surname greatly."

"But my pronunciation isn’t good; I can’t say the word ’Bao’ properly." Emily was a bit frustrated again.

Seeing Emily like this and having some guesses herself, Xia Chuyi said, "Alright, I can agree to exchange skills with the chefs of my fellow countrymen."

"However, I am absolutely not staying here," Xia Chuyi told Emily, "I hope you understand this."

"Yes, I understand!" Emily said excitedly, "Food God Xia, you are amazing!"

After Emily left, Chen Chen, looking constipated, said to Xia Chuyi, "Sorry... I shouldn’t have brought Emily here... but..."

"How could you agree to go to that Rayne’s house?" Chen Chen said, "Don’t be blinded by imperialism!"

"You don’t know; they have many fun games, great movies... cough cough," halfway through, Chen Chen quickly added, "I’m not blinded by imperialism; I’m just learning!"

"Learn from others to surpass them... Anyway, this... that..." Chen Chen rambled without making a point.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "No need to explain. Indeed, the United States has a lot we don’t have, and many things are ahead of us."

"So, liking these things is natural, but..." Xia Chuyi said, "As long as we remember our responsibilities, our mission, that’s enough!"

"Remember? When we just arrived in the United States, you and Chen Miao said to learn American things and go back to build our country."

"Yes, I remember!" Chen Chen immediately put on a serious face and said, "I’ll always remember."

"That’s enough," Xia Chuyi said.

And with that, the conversation ended.

Before meeting Emily on the weekend, Xia Chuyi took some time to make an international call to the Capital City to ask Huo Shiqian about something.
