The car was quiet for a while. Little Guo packed up the documents quietly and put on a serious look while Little Wang drove quietly.
Director Gu closed his eyes and no one knew what he was thinking.
After a while, Director Gu opened his eyes and said, "Little Guo, make a written record of the car tailing. Be detailed."
"Okay." Little Guo nodded and began to prepare the file, paper and pen.
Director Gu was ready to come up with a beautiful event plan while the people in front were going to discuss the key points seriously.
After all, the publicity committee might not walk in front of the camera even though they were only going to watch. Maybe they wouldn't even let them know.
For the past two years, all the government officials had requested not to put on a show. Naturally, they wouldn't appear in such a publicity program.
Compared to these cautious people, the judges were much more relaxed. They began to gather at the agreed meeting place.
At the same time, Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi had arrived at the conference room one after the other.
Just as he greeted her, before he could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock." After two rhythmic knocks, a middle-aged man in a dark blue double-breasted suit walked in. He wore a pair of glasses and looked gentle and polite.
He was the chief editor of The Dog That Discovered Food, Hu Yue.
"Chief Editor Hu, please take a seat," Zhou Shijie greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, Chairman. Mr. Lee is here too? It's rare to see you, "Hu Yue greeted Zhou Shijie with a smile first and then said to Lee Yanyi in surprise.
"Um. I'm here to see the new restaurants," Lee Yanyi said without hesitation.
"You mean you are here for the two new restaurants?" Hu Yue sat down while saying.
That's right. Out of the 10 restaurants that had been selected, only two were new. One was Yuan Zhou's Master Chef Restaurant and the other was a new Sichuan Cuisine that had recently risen in fame, Chengdu Cuisine. The head chef of this restaurant was said to have returned from abroad.
The chef of Chengdu Cuisine was about 36 years old. He had innovatively combined traditional Sichuan Cuisine with Western Cuisine and it was said to be very gorgeous and beautiful.
"One restaurant, The Kitchen God," Lee Yanyi said.
"Chairman Zhou, are you here for The Kitchen God as well?" Hu Yue looked at Zhou Shijie and asked.
"You can't say that. I still have to see the rest," Zhou Shijie said modestly with a smile.
"Who doesn't know that you are very protective of Little Brat Yuan? You are almost treating him as your own son." Lee Yanyi couldn't stand Zhou Shijie's slickness and directly exposed him.
"Haha. It seems The Kitchen God lives up to its name," Hu Yue laughed.
"You haven't been there before?" Lee Yanyi looked at Hu Yue strangely.
As the largest gourmet magazine in Sichuan Province, it had never been to Yuan Zhou's restaurant. It was indeed a little outdated.
"I saw that you didn't even give the evaluation of that restaurant, so I was waiting for you to give it first," Hu Yue didn't tell him the reason. Instead, he changed the subject.
"I ate too much. Did you give me a bad evaluation so that you can snatch my seat?" Lee Yanyi looked at Hu Yue as if he was an idiot.
"Haha. Mr. Lee, you really know how to joke," Hu Yue laughed.
"Chief Editor Hu, you really haven't been there before?" Zhou Shijie thought about the recent magazines and realized that Yuan Zhou had not been featured in any of them.
"He really hasn't been there. He has been reporting on Sichuan Cuisine for half a year now. He doesn't have time to go to other places."
Hu Yue did not answer. The last person to enter was the chairman of the Sichuan Cuisine Alliance, Zhang Yan.
"Chairman Zhang, you are here. Have a seat," Hu Yue stood up and welcomed him. After all, they had been working together for half a year.
The person who entered was Zhang Yan. He was a skinny old man in a traditional Chinese suit. He had a goatee and white hair. He looked older than Zhou Shijie, but in fact, he was two years younger than Zhou Shijie.
As a result, Zhou Shijie became famous a few years earlier than him in terms of culinary skills.
Zhang Yan had once said that he was destined to be a chef because his father had given him these three fire characters. In fact, he was very talented in controlling the fire, but he was just average in other aspects. He couldn't be compared to Zhou Shijie.
Back then, he and Zhou Shijie ran for the position of chairman of the Chef's Alliance at the same time. After losing to Zhou Shijie, he had been dissatisfied and worked hard to accumulate his strength. Who would have thought that he would lose to Zhou Shijie again three years later and be suppressed by him for two terms? Naturally, he didn't like Zhou Shijie and even hated him.
Moreover, he hated people talking to him about his talent. After all, when he was young, the evaluation he received was that his talent was slightly inferior to Zhou Shijie's.
As a result, the moment he entered the restaurant, he secretly criticized Zhou Shijie, revealing the discord between the two.
"No wonder you are in the newspaper every day," Zhou Shijie said with a tone that was neither light nor heavy.
"I can't help it. The inheritance and promotion of Sichuan Cuisine still depends on us, who are in charge of Sichuan Cuisine, to do our best," Zhang Yan answered bluntly.
"Culinary skills still need to be delicious," Lee Yanyi interrupted.
"But today's activity is the selection of the exemplary restaurant of Sichuan Cuisine. Chairman Zhou, the restaurant you recommended seems to be better at Jin 'ling Cuisine?" Zhang Yan pointed the spearhead at Zhou Shijie.
"Comrade Little Zhang, your information is outdated. This Yuan Zhou's cooking is the most authentic Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine. The taste is excellent, and the ingredients are authentic. Now, he even dabbles in Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine. This young man is energetic and learns quickly," Zhou Shijie answered with a smile.
Although Zhou Shijie had a smile on his face, his words were filled with sarcasm and veiled sarcasm. This caused Zhang Yan's goatee to explode out of anger.
"I heard that this Chef Yuan is only 20 years old. It's not good for a young man to be distracted. It's better for him to build a solid foundation," Zhang Yan suppressed his temper and said solemnly.
"To be exact, Yuan Zhou is 25 years old this year," Zhou Shijie added.
This time, before Zhang Yan could reply, Lee Yanyi spoke.
"Stop talking so much. Won't you know after eating it?" Lee Yanyi was impatient with the verbal battle between the two.
"Yes, yes. Mr. Lee is right. Regardless of the taste, we will only know after eating it. I wonder if the cameraman is about to arrive?" Hu Yue followed up.
"That's right. Comrade Little Zhang, you will know that talent does exist after eating it. This Yuan is born to be a chef," Zhou Shijie added with a smile.
This time, Zhang Yan hated Yuan Zhou to the core. That's right, he hated Yuan Zhou to the core. After all, he had long wanted to beat Zhou Shijie to death ten thousand times. Beating Yuan Zhou one more time was nothing to him. The main reason why he hated Yuan Zhou was because of his talent.
"Even scientists have yet to confirm whether talent exists or not. It's too early to talk about it," Zhang Yan snorted coldly.
Zhou Shijie was someone who cared about his reputation. Facing the furious Zhang Yan, he only smiled gracefully and did not say anything else.
Hu Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
It was normal for the two to bicker with each other like this. Hu Yue, on the other hand, was in a difficult position. After all, he was a gourmet magazine executive. As for Lee Yanyi, he did not mind at all. He was just waiting for the cameraman to arrive.
"Good morning, teachers." Speak of the devil. While Hu Yue and Lee Yanyi were waiting, the cameraman opened the door and entered …
