Today was an important day for Yuan Zhou. Before the dinner started last night, someone contacted Yuan Zhou, wanting to interview him about the specific situation of the French Bogus Cooking Competition.
This was not the first media to call him. Ever since Yuan Zhou returned to China, the media with keen senses had started to move. Not only the local media in Sichuan, but also the media in other provinces and cities were ready to make a move.
The number of Golden Chefs in the European competition had exceeded 0. That was the only 1 in China. Hmm … that sounded a little weird.
But it had really made China proud. All the foreign mainstream media were scrambling to report on it. Everyone had to pay attention to it.
But Yuan Zhou was a low-profile person. Most of the media would politely refuse them, saying that he just wanted to cook well.
Yesterday, he didn't refuse a call from the official media. The leader of the official media called him personally and asked for a 20-minute interview time. He even said politely that he knew Yuan Zhou was busy and only needed to spare 20 minutes for the interview. As for the rest, he didn't need Yuan Zhou to prepare. Besides, he also sent the questions he wanted to ask to Yuan Zhou in advance.
All these actions showed that he respected Yuan Zhou very much. Therefore, he did not refuse them, which led to today's scene.
"These clothes should be enough to show that I take this seriously." Yuan Zhou looked at himself in the mirror.
He found he was getting more and more handsome. With such gorgeous clothes as a foil, he appeared even more handsome and tall. No matter what others thought of him, Yuan Zhou thought so himself.
While Yuan Zhou was busy changing his clothes, Xiao Liu's car was also moving forward at a high speed on the other side.
Although he was called Xiao Liu, he was actually quite influential. As the number one host of the official media and the director of the news department, he would not be able to keep his position if he did not have some standards.
After hanging up, Xiao Liu, also known as Liu Wenhui, tidied up his clothes and said, "Old Fan, we can go now. Head Chef Yuan said it's fine. Let's hurry over. We shouldn't waste his time."
"Alright. We'll go now." Old Fan was indeed Old Fan. He was already in his forties, but he still looked spirited.
"Bro … Director Liu, is there a need to be so cautious?" A pretty woman in her twenties next to him saw Liu Wenhui taking out a manuscript and reading it in the blink of an eye. He looked very cautious and was somewhat puzzled.
She had been holding this question in her heart since yesterday, and now she finally had the chance to ask.
One had to know that Yuan Zhou was quite famous, and it was said that his culinary skills were also quite superb. However, the fact that Liu Wenhui was willing to personally interview him was already a reflection of how much he valued him.
Even Ma Yu wouldn't be so exaggerated when interviewing famous entrepreneurs. In her opinion, Yuan Zhou's influence couldn't be compared to Ma Yu's.
Before Liu Wenhui could answer, Wang Xu, the cameraman sitting behind him, said, "If it's in the field of chefs, it's indeed not that exaggerated. But what Head Chef Yuan is truly good at is the dissemination of Chinese food culture."
"Because of Head Chef Yuan, Japan's interest in Chinese food culture has increased by 30%. Even Lu Xun couldn't do anything about this. The influence on the whole of Asia is also visible. It's comparable to the craze of Jin Yong's dramas that Jin Yong caused in Southeast Asia."
Liu Wenhui said, "Now that he has become famous in Europe, the influence of Chinese food culture will definitely increase in the future. Therefore, since we can interview Head Chef Yuan, we naturally have to pay attention to it and try to solve it in one go. We can't waste too much of Head Chef Yuan's time. His time is quite precious."
"So, Little Guo, just do a good job recording later. Don't worry about anything else. Head Chef Yuan is someone worthy of our respect."
The moment he said that, not only Wang Xu, his assistant, and even the driver, Old Xue, nodded their heads vigorously. The pretty woman called Little Guo more or less understood when she heard that. People were most afraid of comparisons. Jin Yong and Lu Xun were both inferior to the dissemination of culture. One could imagine how high the status of Yuan Zhou was.
Although Yuan Zhou was only disseminating food culture, it was still different.
After obtaining Yuan Zhou's approval, Liu Wenhui and his group had rushed to Chengdu overnight. Now, they were on the way to The Kitchen God.
After Yuan Zhou changed his clothes, he went downstairs and waited in the restaurant. Not long after, at 9: 50 am, a flurry of footsteps sounded from outside the restaurant.
A few seconds later, a group of people appeared at the entrance. There were two people in the front and two people behind. They were all carrying cameras and other equipment. One look and anyone could tell they were professionals.
The people on Taoxi Street were no longer surprised by such a scene. Reporters would often come to interview Yuan Zhou. In the past, they would still watch as if it was a rare sight. But now, they had seen it many times. When they saw such a scene, they would only think inwardly, "Looks like they're here to interview Boss Yuan again." Then, they would go back to their own business.
Yuan Zhou's calmness caused Little Guo to take a few more glances at him. Not only Yuan Zhou, even the people on the street were too calm.
When Yuan Zhou saw them, he stood up and greeted them politely. Liu Wenhui did the same and quickly walked to Yuan Zhou. He extended his hands and said, "Head Chef Yuan, nice to meet you. My surname is Liu. You can call me Little Liu. I will be the host of the interview later. Sorry for bothering you, Head Chef Yuan."
Liu Wenhui spoke very politely. Of course, even though he was polite, Yuan Zhou was also very polite, "Hello, Mr. Liu. Sorry to trouble you. I am usually busy and don't have much time."
"We all know that Head Chef Yuan is usually very busy. It is already a happy thing for you to take the time to be interviewed," Liu Wenhui's smile deepened as he said.
"Do I need to prepare anything?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"No need. We will do the preparation. Head Chef Yuan, you can just sit here," Liu Wenhui saw Wang Xu's hand signal.
He led Yuan Zhou to a place with good lighting and sat down. Behind him was the restaurant's rules, the lively lotus flowers, and a part of the photo wall. This could be considered to have captured the unique features of the restaurant. Wang Xu had good taste.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and sat down.
After Liu Wenhui was done, he sat in front of Yuan Zhou. Little Guo sat beside them with a notebook and pen in hand, waiting there in a professional manner.
As for Wang Xu and his assistant, they set up cameras and light shields not far away. Since they were all nimble people, they were done very quickly.
After Wang Xu was done, he signaled Liu Wenhui. Liu Wenhui received the signal and said, "Head Chef Yuan, are you ready? We are going to start."
Yuan Zhou calmly adjusted his sitting posture, exposing his entire face to the camera. He straightened his back and nodded.
When Liu Wenhui saw Yuan Zhou nod, he immediately straightened his posture and said, "Hello, Head Chef Yuan. I am very happy to be able to interview you."
Yuan Zhou nodded reservedly and said, "Thank you."
"I believe everyone knows that in the 18th Bogus Cooking Competition that ended a few days ago, Head Chef Yuan single-handedly won the Golden Chef Award and the Most Popular Dish Award that has only been given out twice so far. With such impressive achievements, do you have anything to share with us, Head Chef Yuan?" Liu Wenhui first explained the ins and outs of the interview before officially starting.
"It's nothing much. For me, it's just cooking seriously. It's the same no matter where I am," Yuan Zhou said honestly.
"Head Chef Yuan, can you share with us the dishes you made that time?" Liu Wenhui was indeed curious.
