On a moonlit night with few stars, Ling Hong and Grandpa Jia stood at the intersection, talking and laughing.
"Grandpa Jia, I drank some wine. Please send me back today," said Ling Hong proactively.
"No problem," Grandpa Jia answered straightforwardly.
"But I won't pay you for calling me Grandpa Jia," Ling Hong said with a smile while he got into the passenger seat nimbly.
"Haw-haw. What a coincidence. I don't charge my grandson, either," Grandpa Jia laughed heartily.
"That's great. I can save some money." Ling Hong sat on the seat steadily.
"Where are you going?" Grandpa Jia got on the car and asked.
"I'm going to the wisteria garden," Ling Hong told him where he lived.
That's right. Ling Hong didn't live with his grandpa, which Grandpa Jia also knew. After all, he had been contacting Ling Little Six quite frequently recently.
"Okay. Let's go." Grandpa Jia stepped on the accelerator happily and started the car.
The two of them didn't mention the car Ling Hong had left in the parking lot. They drove to Ling Hong's residence with a warm atmosphere.
"Grandpa Jia, I'll treat you to a meal the next day. After all, I've acknowledged you as my grandpa and I haven't treated you to a meal yet," Ling Hong took advantage of the warm atmosphere and invited him.
"No problem. Ling Little Six owes me a meal and you owe me a meal. I don't need to spend money to go to Boss Yuan's restaurant this month," Grandpa Jia answered smilingly.
"Grandpa owes you a meal? Grandpa is so stingy. He doesn't even treat me to a meal, "complained Ling Hong. Although his grandpa was in a high position, his habit of saving money had never changed.
"Exactly. He also said he would treat me to a meal the other day," said Grandpa Jia, "But there's no sign of this meal until now."
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal first. I'm more generous than my grandpa," said Ling Hong while patting his chest.
"You're definitely generous," Grandpa Jia nodded his head approvingly. As the famous No Discount Ling in Yuanzhou shop, everyone knew about it.
Ling Hong suddenly asked, "Speaking of which, I'm not sure when your birthday is."
"I'm celebrating the sixth day of the seventh lunar month," said Grandpa Jia.
Ling Hong was puzzled. "I remember Grandpa mentioned that your birthday is in November."
Grandpa Jia said, "In the past, I was tired of celebrating it in November, so I changed the time to celebrate it."
Although he said it casually, Ling Hong could feel that the 6th of July seemed to have a story behind it. Ling Hong decided to go back and ask his grandfather.
The two of them chatted as they sped through the streets of Chengdu in the middle of the night.
The night passed quickly. There were only three days left before the Exemplary Restaurant Competition. The organizer of the event had already decided on the plan. Now, there was only one problem left.
The overall planner of the event had already done this event three times. In other words, he had been in charge of this event since the beginning. This person's surname was Gu, and he was in his forties. He was at the age where he had experience, ability, and ideas.
Director Gu was sitting in his office, flipping through the overall process of the event. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Knock, knock.
"Come in," Director Gu said loudly.
It was Director Gu's assistant, Little Guo, who entered. Her wavy long hair was tied up neatly. Her face was clear and natural, looking very energetic. When she saw Director Gu, she said straightforwardly.
"Director Gu, Mr. Bai has been confirmed. Do you want to do the last confirmation or …?" Little Guo asked.
"How about Mr. Lee Mingzui?" Director Gu frowned and then asked.
"We didn't go to Mr. Lee Yanyi this time. He refused the last three times, saying that he didn't like this kind of official event," Little Guo said.
"Go and ask him first. It will be more interesting if he comes," Director Gu said.
"Then what about Mr. Bai?" Little Guo asked tentatively.
"Don't confirm first. Go to Mr. Lee Mingzui today. If he still refuses, go to Mr. Bai," Director Gu directly ordered.
"Ok, director." Little Guo nodded and then closed the door and went out.
As soon as Little Guo went out, she was surrounded by her colleagues.
"How was it? Did Director Gu agree to use Mr. Bai? "A male colleague with a crew cut asked anxiously.
"Right. We don't need to go to that old man Lee this time, right?" Someone immediately interrupted.
"Is Director Gu satisfied with the plan this time?"
Little Guo shrugged helplessly, "Director Gu said that we should go to Mr. Lee Yanyi to confirm his will first and then to Mr. Bai."
"Sigh. Why is it like this again?" The person who interrupted just now sighed immediately.
"Exactly. Mr. Bai is obviously very awesome. He even appeared on the cover interview of the magazine Dog Who Discovered Delicacies recently." The crew cut man knitted his brows.
"We can't help it. After all, Mr. Lee has the title of Famous Chef. He has a higher recognition and popularity in the gourmet circle. Besides, Mr. Lee's mouth is not only good at eating," Little Guo said.
"I think it's more like a poisonous mouth. I've never seen him say anything nice," the crew cut man muttered.
"That's exactly why it's interesting," Little Guo said.
"So are you going to find him now?" The crew cut man asked. He didn't answer Little Guo. Even if he hated Lee Yanyi very much, he had to admit that Lee Yanyi's mouth was really awesome.
So the most awesome thing to do was to make your opponent admit that you were awesome.
Little Guo nodded her head, "The activity is about to start. It's the biggest activity of Sichuan Cuisine. If something goes wrong in my place, I really can't bear the responsibility."
"Good luck. But I think he still won't agree. In the end, you can only find Mr. Bai," the crew cut man said with a cunning smile.
Little Guo flipped her hair and didn't answer him. She just shrugged her shoulders and then walked out of the office.
That's right. The crew cut man cared so much about Mr. Bai. One reason was that Mr. Bai was a young and famous gourmet commentator in the circle recently. The other reason was that Mr. Bai was contacted by the crew cut man.
If he contacted Mr. Bai and didn't want him, all the work he had done previously would be in vain.
After Little Guo went downstairs, she went straight to the garage to get her car and prepared to drive to Lee Yanyi's university to find him.
After all, Lee Yanyi was a professor. It was the easiest to meet him in the university. Little Guo had already found someone to find him.
Lee Yanyi's university wasn't far from Little Guo's office. It only took her 20 minutes to drive there.
As it was a university, it was more convenient to go in and out. Little Guo parked her car and went straight to Lee Yanyi's office.
"It's 10: 30 now. I should be able to see him." Little Guo's high-heeled shoes emitted a clear and melodious sound on the bluestone floor.
Lee Yanyi's office was on the third floor. Little Guo directly walked to the first floor. After she stood still for a while, she looked around.
"It seems that Yan Jia isn't here. Hopefully, Mr. Lee is here." Little Guo let out a sigh of relief and walked upstairs with relief.
Naturally, Little Guo didn't want Yan Jia to be here. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to see Lee Yanyi today. When she found Yan Jia wasn't here, she naturally felt lucky.
