Who was Chu Xiao? He was the only designated opponent of Yuan Zhou!
Well, this title was given by Chu Xiao himself, and he didn't get the consent of the owner.
But Chu Xiao said bluntly that he was the only one who was qualified to challenge Yuan Zhou in the World of Chefs and Chefs' Alliance. Apart from him, who else could it be?
Recently, however, there were always two French chefs wandering around Yuanzhou shop, which made Chu Xiao vigilant. There were always some unruly people who wanted to snatch the position of his number one challenger.
"Chu, Chu, Chu." Ogyust called Chu Xiao several times before he came back to himself.
"Um?" Chu Xiao looked at Ogyust and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I called you several times just now, but you didn't respond. Do you have any thoughts about Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills?" Ogyust thought Chu Xiao was shocked by Yuan Zhou's superb culinary skills.
After all, Ogyust knew that Chu Xiao hadn't encountered any setbacks since he started his career in France. Foreigners were really imaginative.
"I know his culinary skills best. That's why I told you at the beginning that he will break the record of the individual exhibition," said Chu Xiao.
After that, they didn't talk anymore, because Yuan Zhou's delicacies were the most important today.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The first day of Yuan Zhou's exhibition was to show the new life of spring. Therefore, the first day could be said to be very exciting.
"It's really worth it to ask for the invitation with such a thick face," said Tengyuan.
"I wonder when the next individual exhibition will be." This was the thought of the vice chairman of Vietnam. Before this exhibition ended, he was already thinking about the next one.
"In the future, when we talk about cooperation with China, we must add a condition. China wants to help us train the chefs. The requirement isn't high, just 50% of Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills will be enough." This was a strong thought that sprouted in the heart of the Laotian politician.
"I'm a little envious of the group of people in the Australian embassy in China. They can eat here every day. It's really unfair." The Australian politician was jealous.
In fact, what he did not know was that no one from the embassies of the Asia-Pacific countries had been there. After all, they had to queue up, and the embassies were usually in Beijing.
Of course, after this solo exhibition, the Yuanzhou shop would become famous in the embassies, and there would be a wave of ambassadors from Asia-Pacific countries. But this was a story for another time, so let's not talk about it for now.
The first day of the exchange meeting came to a successful conclusion.
Although they had different thoughts, everyone had the same feeling at the moment — they wanted to continue!
He felt like he had only eaten a few mouthfuls. How was it over?
The first day went smoothly. The logistics and medical departments did not move, but an hour before the end of the day, the transportation department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to move.
The former had to ensure the flow of traffic, while the latter had to have the translators accompanying them. Then, the vehicles were also ready.
"Phew, it's finally over. Master is not tired, but I feel tired just by looking at him." Engineer Cheng let out a sigh of relief.
"Since you've eaten Yuan's food, hurry up and take care of it for Yuan."
Under Zhou Shijie's reminder, Lee Yanyi and Zhang Yan also began to see the guests off. Of course, the first group were foreign dignitaries.
The second group were chefs from various countries, followed by the reporters of the Central Television who were too miserable to look at.
Why was it said that they were too miserable to look at? Just like what Little Ye had said, they could only stare at it gloomily. Generally, such a scene could only be seen on extremely hungry wolves in the wilderness.
The crowd left in an orderly manner. As more and more people left, the banquet hall gradually became empty. At that time, however, Yuan Zhou was still standing in the open kitchen with his back ramrod straight.
At that time, however, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue suit with his hair combed back walked up to Yin Ya unhurriedly.
"Hello, Ms. Yin. Can I talk to you alone?" The middle-aged man first nodded to Yuan Zhou and then lowered his head and said to Yin Ya mildly.
"One moment." Yin Ya responded politely. When she was about to turn her head and ask Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou spoke first.
"Go ahead." Yuan Zhou nodded to Yin Ya.
Yuan Zhou knew this person. He had been following beside Minister Hao since the beginning of the banquet. Obviously, he was the leader of the translators sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Um." Yin Ya looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly. Then, she turned back and looked at the man in front of her calmly.
"Please follow me." The middle-aged man said mildly. Then, he led Yin Ya to the side of the door.
Yin Ya was dressed in a traditional Chinese costume. The way she walked was somewhat similar to Yuan Zhou. Her back was ramrod straight and her head was raised high, giving her an imposing aura.
The two of them soon came to the door. At that time, there was no one in the banquet hall. Even Engineer Cheng had gone backstage to arrange people to clean up the banquet hall. Therefore, it was quite quiet at the door.
"Hello, Ms. Yin. I'm Ding Guozhen. I'm working in the translation department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The middle-aged man introduced himself first.
"Hello, I'm Yin Ya." Yin Ya made a simple self-introduction.
"Yes. I know you, Ms. Yin. Your translation this year was very wonderful and accurate. Some of the professional cooking skills were very clever." Ding Guozhen nodded and said appreciatively.
"Thank you." Yin Ya lowered her head and thanked him.
"You're welcome. May I know which university did you graduate from, Ms. Yin Ya?" Ding Guozhen's question was a little sudden, but his tone was quite gentle and cordial.
"I graduated from the Business Administration Department of Rong University." The university Yin Ya reported was also a university of Rong University.
"It's not bad. Being able to translate so accurately under the circumstance that your major doesn't match, it shows that you are very talented in languages. I wonder if Ms. Yin Ya has any intention to come to our translation department. Of course, even if you have my recommendation, you still have to pass a certain examination." Ding Guozhen said.
Although Yin Ya had been somewhat prepared when she heard this person's self-introduction, she didn't expect that this person would directly recommend her.
After all, it was naturally very good to work there. It was like winning the lottery.
However, Yin Ya didn't answer Ding Guozhen immediately. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Yuan Zhou who was standing there with his back ramrod straight.
Ding Guozhen naturally saw Yin Ya's gaze, but he obviously misunderstood. He said, "Ms. Yin, don't misunderstand me. My invitation isn't because of Head Chef Yuan, although he's very awesome and can be considered as the number one chef in the country. What I like is your translation talent."
"I know. Thank you, Mr. Ding. I'm just seriously considering your opinion." Yin Ya didn't explain, but just said with embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter. I'm very happy to wait for your answer. Ms. Yin, you can tell me after the cooking exhibition is over." Ding Guozhen nodded.
"I think I've made up my mind," Yin Ya shook her head and said.
"So soon?" Ding Guozhen was a little surprised.
"Yes. Actually, my current job is also very good," Yin Ya said with a smile.
"Of course. Excellent people are naturally like that." Ding Guozhen nodded in agreement.
"So, I'm sorry, Mr. Ding. I think I may have to refuse your proposal," Yin Ya said with a decent smile.
"Alright. Although it's a little regretful, it doesn't matter," Ding Guozhen was a little surprised, but he quickly put away his surprise and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Ding, for your recognition of my translation. Actually, I'm still far from it. My English is slightly better than yours, but I'm actually not professional or proficient in simultaneous translation. I know my own limitations." Yin Ya explained her reason with a smile.
Good English and simultaneous translation were three completely different concepts. Just like what Yin Ya said, although her English was good and she could translate some books, simultaneous interpretation was completely strange to her.
This time, she worked so hard for Yuan Zhou. It could be said that she had practiced mouthing in front of the mirror for a long time. During this period, she didn't sleep much more than Yuan Zhou.
So, in fact, there was a hidden reason that Yin Ya just wanted to do simultaneous interpretation for Yuan Zhou.
"You're being modest, Ms. Yin. In fact, you have this talent," Ding Guozhen said.
"No, I did it because of him." Yin Ya smiled and looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Okay, I understand." Ding Guozhen smiled and nodded.
"Well, thank you, Mr. Ding, for your invitation." Yin Ya thanked him again.
"You're welcome. But next time, if Ms. Yin wants to develop in the field of simultaneous interpretation, you can come to me." Ding Guozhen paused and then said, "I can reserve a recommendation for Ms. Yin."
"Thank you very much." Yin Ya took Ding Guozhen's business card with both hands and bowed to thank him.
"You're welcome. Then I won't disturb your rest." Ding Guozhen waved his hand and then walked straight forward.
