While Yuan Zhou just started to read, Zhong Lili said hurriedly, "Boss Yuan, you can tell me directly if you have something to tell me."
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then continued to stare at the documents in his hand.
The car drove very smoothly and the documents in Yuan Zhou's hand didn't even shake. It could be seen that the driver was an experienced driver.
Not long after that, the car stopped at the door of the headquarters of the Chef's Alliance quietly and steadily.
"Boss Yuan is here." Zhong Lili opened the car door and said.
"Got it." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, closed the folder and then handed it to Zhong Lili conveniently.
Yuan Zhou got up and got out of the car and then walked straight into the building, while Zhong Lili followed behind Yuan Zhou with a briefcase.
Because Zhong Lili was following them, the receptionist didn't ask anything at all. She directly stepped forward and helped them press the elevator button. Then, they went directly to the floor where Zhou Shijie's office was located on the fifth floor.
It was very quiet in the elevator. Looking at the side face of Yuan Zhou, Zhong Lili opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Yuan Zhou's usual solemn and earnest expression, she couldn't say anything.
Yuan Zhou, however, didn't notice it at all. He was seriously thinking about how he should talk when they met later.
Finally, Yuan Zhou decided, "I'd better wait and see."
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou's expression became more solemn. With such an expression, the two of them strode to the reception room on the floor where Zhou Shijie was located.
That's right. It was impossible for Zhou Shijie to receive so many chefs in his office, so he naturally moved to the reception room.
The reception room was not far from Zhou Shijie's office.
"Hua La", Zhong Lili stepped forward and pushed the door open. All the people in the reception room turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou.
The layout of the reception room was rectangular, with a single sofa placed on both sides and two sofas at both ends. Zhou Shijie was now sitting on one of the sofas opposite the door.
As for the remaining four people, they sat on the opposite side of the door. Four people sat on each side, and the four people facing the door were obviously from the chefs of Sichuan Province.
Because when these people saw Yuan Zhou's friendly face, they smiled at Yuan Zhou to show their friendliness.
Sitting with their backs facing the door were the chefs from Guangdong Province. The four of them turned to look at Yuan Zhou with scrutiny and a hint of indignation in their eyes, but they still nodded at Yuan Zhou with smiles on their faces to show their respect.
"Here you are, Yuan. Have a seat." Zhou Shijie stood up and greeted him.
When Zhou Shijie stood up, the remaining eight chefs also stood up and looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Chairman Zhou," Yuan Zhou nodded and greeted him. He then walked towards Zhou Shijie.
Zhou Shijie's seat was the furthest from the door. Therefore, when Yuan Zhou walked there, he would pass by all the chefs.
Yuan Zhou looked straight ahead and walked straight with steady steps. When he arrived at his seat, he said, "I'm sorry I'm late. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"You're not late. I know you're busy, so I asked Little Zhong to pick you up at this time. I'm afraid the lunchtime in your restaurant has just ended," Zhou Shijie said immediately.
Zhou Shijie's words were full of protection, which the chefs from Sichuan Province were used to. After all, they were forced to listen to Yuan Zhou's praises every day for two to three years, so they had gotten used to it.
Nevertheless, Qiu Ji, the champion of the Second Phoenix City Food Festival from Guangdong Province, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Hang at the side.
Speaking of which, Qiu Ji and Cui Hang were known as the Twin Gourmet Stars of Phoenix City. Sometimes "Qiu and Cui" sounded like a chuunibyou, but in fact, they were both very awesome.
Cui Hang just smiled and said nothing, but just nodded slightly. Obviously, they were a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shijie's protection, but they didn't show their emotions due to their respect for the chairman and the chairman.
"Indeed, the lunchtime has just ended," Yuan Zhou nodded honestly.
"Not late. We've just arrived," Wu Yue, the famous chef of Sichuan Province's Mansion Cuisine, said.
"That's right. Not late. We've just arrived and our buttocks have just warmed up," Li Yu said.
"You're a chef. It's too unsightly to talk with your buttocks," this time, it was Tang Quan who was good at making wheaten food from Sichuan Province.
"The buttocks are also a part of the human body. How is it unsightly?" Li Yu said smilingly.
"It's indeed not important whether it's unsightly or not. Just like what they said, we haven't talked much," Qiu Ji, the chef of Guangdong Province, said with a faint smile.
"Indeed, it hasn't been long," while saying that, Cui Hang looked at the clock in the reception room.
What they said didn't sound like much, but Yuan Zhou understood what they meant. Having been in his position for a long time, and with the help of the Queen, Yuan Zhou could naturally tell whether a sentence was good or bad. However, his expression didn't change.
Even Zhou Shijie didn't say anything, waiting for Yuan Zhou to deal with it himself. On one hand, he was very protective of Yuan Zhou, and on the other hand, he was also training Yuan Zhou's ability.
"In that case, let's continue," Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
"I've read your information on the bus just now. The dishes you're good at are all written on it. I guess you guys still don't know what I'm good at. Then, let me tell you what I'm good at," Yuan Zhou said.
"No, no, no. Head Chef Yuan, you're too modest. We all know what you're good at," Qiu Ji said.
"Indeed. I heard that Head Chef Yuan is good at Cantonese Dim Sum, Sichuan Cuisine, Guizhou Cuisine, and Yunnan Cuisine. It's truly amazing," Cui Hang said.
"I hope we'll have the chance to witness Head Chef Yuan's Cantonese Dim Sum this time," the two Cantonese Dim Sum chefs said.
"We've heard a lot about you, Head Chef Yuan. We can even recite the dishes you're good at," Wu Yue, a Sichuan Cuisine chef, said to ease the atmosphere.
"Alright. Since everyone knows, I won't say much," Yuan Zhou said, not minding that his self-introduction was interrupted.
"I wonder what Head Chef Yuan is planning to do for this exchange?" the older Cui Hang asked.
"We're not familiar with each other yet, but there's not much time left for this exchange. I wonder what Head Chef Yuan is planning to do?" Qiu Ji asked modestly.
"We'll follow your arrangements, Head Chef Yuan," Li Yu, the Sichuan Cuisine chef, said as he turned to look at the people beside him.
"That's right. We'll all follow your arrangements, Head Chef Yuan," the Sichuan Cuisine chef, Li Yu, chimed in.
Presumably, the Sichuan Cuisine chefs had also sensed the hostility from the Cantonese Dim Sum Chefs. As for Zhou Shijie, he merely watched on without saying anything.
Zhong Lili, who was standing behind them, looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly. Nevertheless, she still lowered her head and took notes seriously.
Faced with these questions, Yuan Zhou said calmly, "Since everyone wants to know what we're planning, why don't you show me your cooking skills first? I'll give you a taste of your dishes before I decide what to do."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou just stared at everyone with a solemn expression. No abnormality could be seen.
This was exactly what the Cantonese Dim Sum Chefs wanted. Cui Hang and Qiu Ji immediately said, "That's great. Come, let's show Head Chef Yuan our cooking skills."
"Little Zhong, go to the seventh floor and arrange a large kitchen," Zhou Shijie turned and instructed Zhong Lili.
"Thank you, Chairman Zhou," Yuan Zhou said.
"You're welcome," Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
Zhou Shijie was like Yuan Zhou trying to subdue everyone while he provided the venue.
