Once he heard that Boss Yuan was going to cook delicious dishes, Wuhai agreed without hesitation. Therefore, the conversation just now happened. Fang Heng was quite envious of that.
"I really envy you because your main job is painting. Unlike me, I can only participate in the exchange of liquor, which is domestic," said Fang Heng.
"Don't be envious of me. You can also bring us some dishes that go well with liquor in your restaurant. The newly released Mixed Chicken Giblets Salad is just barely edible," said Wuhai while eating the dishes in front of him quickly.
"I told you not to call me lunch box. Just say it's delicious. It seems that I should raise the salary of the person who cooks the side dishes." Fang Heng looked at the dishes that Wuhai liked to eat and said with a nod.
"Lunch box, your newly released cold dish is indeed delicious," said Chen Wei immediately.
"You used to call me Boss Fang," Fang Heng stared at Chen Wei with a resentful expression.
"It's convenient to call me that way," Chen Wei also ate a mouthful of the cold dish and then drank a mouthful of beer and said with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Brother Fang, for your dishes," said Ruan Xiaoqing with a smile while covering her mouth.
"Miss Ruan's words are so pleasant," Fang Heng immediately smiled contentedly.
"F * ck off. What Miss Ruan?" Ling Hong glared at Fang Heng discontentedly.
"Haw-haw. Lunch box, don't make trouble," Chen Wei winked at Fang Heng with a mischievous smile.
"Alright," Fang Heng shrugged helplessly and then continued drinking.
At the other side, Ling Hong turned his head and said, "Boss Yuan needs to rest for three days. How about I take you to eat during these three days?"
"Ah?" Ruan Xiaoqing was surprised. She looked at Ling Hong with puzzlement.
"Here's the thing. I'm also a senior foodie and know a lot of delicious dishes. Although none of them are as good as those cooked by Boss Yuan, I can still try," explained Ling Hong.
"Won't it be troublesome?" Ruan Xiaoqing wanted to refuse, but when she thought of what happened just now, she asked hesitantly.
"No, I'm the boss. It's quite easy for me," said Ling Hong, completely forgetting about the documents piled up on the table.
"Okay. I'll leave the remaining three days to you," Ruan Xiaoqing nodded her head and said.
"Don't worry. I won't be disappointed," said Ling Hong confidently.
"I trust your tongue," Ruan Xiaoqing said with a smile.
"Of course. My tongue is the best at distinguishing between good and bad," Ling Hong said with a smile.
Then, the two of them chatted as they ate. The atmosphere was warm and harmonious like never before.
Apparently, the atmosphere between the two of them had changed ever since the incident at the office.
They became more harmonious. Most importantly, Ling Hong's respect and understanding made Ruan Xiaoqing's resistance to him lessen.
Time passed quickly. Just as the news began to report about the Asia-Pacific Exchange Conference at 7 o 'clock every night, Yuan Zhou and the others also arrived in Beijing.
The people who came to Beijing Airport to pick them up were all government officials.
The entire team, including Zhong Lili, checked into the five-star St. Regis Hotel. Of course, all of this was provided by the officials.
The St. Regis Hotel was not far from the banquet hall of the Huaxia Hotel in Beijing, where the exchange meeting would be held, so it would be convenient for them to attend.
On the first day, the exchange meeting had yet to begin. It would only begin the next morning.
Therefore, the afternoon was a free time for them.
Since it was a rare break, Yuan Zhou did not go out to experience the cold winter in Beijing. Instead, he stayed in the warm hotel room and read a book seriously.
To be exact, he was reading the exchange plan. Although the plan had already been told to the eight head chefs and their seats had been arranged, Yuan Zhou still read the plan from beginning to end during his break.
This was Yuan Zhou's rigor.
Knock. Two crisp knocks sounded on the door.
Yuan Zhou stood up and went to open the door. When the door was opened, Zhong Lili was standing outside in a red woolen dress. She looked very pretty.
"Head Chef Yuan, I'm here to talk about the exchange meeting," Zhong Lili said.
"Um, please go ahead." Yuan Zhou nodded and walked into the living room. He sat on the sofa and waited for Zhong Lili to speak.
"This is the schedule for tomorrow," Zhong Lili took out a folder and handed it to Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou kept the folder and waited for her to continue.
"Tomorrow's exchange meeting starts at 7 am and officially starts at 9 am. There will be over a hundred diplomatic envoys from various countries and dozens of experts and scholars from all over the country participating."
"Even the Japanese cabinet and the Thai royal family will be participating. They will discuss topics such as global economic growth and governance, as well as its impact on Asia."
"Of course. Our communication belongs to the communication of soft power in the aspect of culture. We only need to listen to them. Our focus is on the culinary culture exhibition in the afternoon." While saying that, Zhong Lili pointed at the document in Yuan Zhou's hand.
"This is it," Yuan Zhou turned the page to the cultural exhibition.
"Yes, this is it. Head Chef Yuan, please take a look. I won't disturb you anymore," Zhong Lili stood up and said goodbye when she saw Yuan Zhou reading the folder seriously.
"Take care. Thank you," Yuan Zhou closed the folder and walked her to the door before turning around.
After sending Zhong Lili off and closing the door, Yuan Zhou did not continue reading the folder. Instead, he took out his phone and started to send a message.
[I arrived in Beijing. Everything went smoothly.] Yuan Zhou
This message was naturally sent to Yin Ya in Chengdu. Soon, Yuan Zhou's phone vibrated. It was Yin Ya's reply to Yuan Zhou's message.
[Okay. Rest more. That way, you will be in the best condition for the exchange meeting tomorrow.] Yin Ya.
Yuan Zhou smiled and then picked up his phone and started to reply.
Yuan Zhou was reading the documents alone in his room. Occasionally, he would chat with Yin Ya, which was quite relaxing. However, there were also people talking about Yuan Zhou outside.
The first group of people was naturally the eight head chefs.
"Why do you think Head Chef Yuan doesn't even have a sous-chef?" Qiu Ji poked Cui Hang beside him and asked curiously.
"I've inquired about it. Head Chef Yuan never needs a chef," Cui Hang said.
"But this exchange meeting is quite important. Doesn't he need a chef?" Qiu Ji asked.
"The news I received is that ever since Head Chef Yuan rose to fame, he has never used any kitchen helpers. Even now, he has been managing his restaurant by himself." Cui Hang paused for a while and continued, "I heard it's to better hone his culinary skills. It's said that he is sailing against the current. If he doesn't advance, he will fall behind."
When he said that, Cui Hang's expression was serious and full of admiration.
"That's too serious. Isn't it the same to relax and study more culinary skills?" Qiu Ji couldn't help but say.
"I agree. But Head Chef Yuan also said that he cooks for his customers, not for anyone. Therefore, to improve his culinary skills, he has to learn from the public's taste," Cui Hang had obviously read a lot of Yuan Zhou's sayings.
That's right. Many of Yuan Zhou's sayings had appeared on Yuan Zhou's review website. They were organized and called Yuan Zhou's sayings.
"Makes sense." Qiu Ji nodded. After a while, he said, "Looks like I have to cook more when I go back."
"That's true," Cui Hang nodded in agreement.
On the other side, the customers of the restaurant were naturally talking about Yuan Zhou. As usual, as soon as Yuan Zhou closed the restaurant for a break, they would start looking forward to Yuan Zhou's return.
