"Sir, please keep your voice down. Although it's daytime now, the noise pollution in the city is very serious. Please don't make noise in my restaurant. Thank you." Zhou Jia wasn't frightened at all. She reminded him gently.
Chef Li wanted to burst out, but he held back his words. He planned to vent his anger on Yuan Zhou.
Since Yuan Zhou didn't order, Zhou Jia didn't want to waste time with him. Therefore, she left directly. Of course, before she left, she took Chef Li's queue number and then went to another table to order dishes.
Chef Li was left alone there. Yuan Zhou, who had entered the state of cooking, was so focused that he didn't pay any attention to Chef Li's repeated attempts to talk to him.
Just like that, Chef Li stood in the restaurant for half an hour. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Not only did he queue up for the challenge, but he also got a queue number. However, he still failed to order the challenge. Chef Li's face darkened with anger.
After all, Chef Li was a head chef. When he was angry, he was quite dignified. However, he didn't think about what the customers in Yuanzhou shop were doing. They didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Even the people from the Queuing Committee came to the restaurant and asked him to wait outside. After all, Yuanzhou shop was only 20 square meters in size.
Chef Li regretted that he didn't let his subordinates handle this matter. He just wanted to see Yuan Zhou's reaction.
He really wanted to see how Yuan Zhou would apologize to him in the face of his anger. After all, he was Yuan Zhou's senior in terms of cooking.
With this thought, Chef Li stood in Yuanzhou shop for two and a half hours. He stood there until almost all the customers left. There were only a few people strolling on the street. Even Zhou Jia got off work. Then, Chef Li prepared to enter the restaurant again.
"Boss Yuan, I'll come around 4 pm." Before Zhou Jia left, she said hesitatingly.
"Okay, I have time." Yuan Zhou replied. Then, he thought of something and said, "Remember, it's fine as long as you're here. Don't buy anything."
Yuan Zhou remembered that when he brought his boyfriend to meet the elders, he had to buy a lot of things, such as fruits and so on. These things were useless to Yuan Zhou now. After all, he was a man with a golden finger.
Of course, the main point was that it wasn't as delicious as the food provided by the system, so there was no need to spend money.
After Zhou Jia left, Chef Li stepped in.
As soon as Chef Li entered the door, he said sternly, "Boss Yuan, I'm the head chef of Shrimp and Crab Gathering. Your Yuan Zhou Review Forum has caused a very bad impact on more than 700 shops."
"Wait a moment." Yuan Zhou looked at Chef Li and then took out his phone to check something.
About a minute later, he looked at Chef Li and said seriously, "Chef Li, please continue."
Judging from Yuan Zhou's appearance, Chef Li should have logged into that gourmet review website. So, he spoke with more confidence.
"Today, I'm here to issue a challenge. For this unfair review, there will be a seafood cooking competition in a week. If we win, you must shut down that website and make a public apology to us," Chef Li stood in front of Yuan Zhou and said sternly while pointing at Yuan Zhou.
"Anything else?" Yuan Zhou frowned. Seeing that Chef Li didn't seem to finish, he signaled him to continue.
"Of course. You must compensate us. Because of the unfair review on your website, it has caused an extremely bad impact on our shops. As for the compensation amount …" Chef Li said with a firm tone.
However, when he mentioned the compensation amount, Chef Li paused for a moment. He looked around the Yuanzhou shop and then said, "I'll compensate you with one month's turnover. Only in this way can you understand the harm that your unfair review has caused to our shops."
As for the compensation amount, Chef Li added it at the last minute because he felt that Yuan Zhou didn't talk much and seemed to be admitting his mistake. He was the kind of person who would ask for a yard after being given an inch.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou lowered his head and looked at his phone again without saying anything, Chef Li went further and vented his anger, "You dared to review on the gourmet review website. Why don't you dare to accept the seafood challenge now?"
This time, Chef Li implied that if you don't accept the challenge, how can you review it?
Chef Li didn't lower his voice on purpose, so all the customers who were strolling around heard it.
Some people were even afraid that the matter wouldn't be blown out of proportion, so they sent a voice message in the WeChat group, "An aggressive person is going to challenge Boss Yuan again. Brothers, come and cheer for him."
Challenging Boss Yuan was equivalent to going against a large group of foodies. After all, it would waste a lot of Yuan Zhou's time. Wasting Yuan Zhou's time meant wasting the already limited time of opening the restaurant. In this way, they would have fewer chances to eat delicacies.
It would be terrible if they couldn't eat Yuan Zhou's delicacies. All the nearby customers (foodies) instantly rushed over.
The allies would arrive in five seconds.
Swoosh.
Therefore, in less than two minutes, more and more customers gathered at the entrance of Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
Not only were they watching, but they were also discussing.
"What's going on? Who's here to challenge Boss Yuan again? "a new customer asked.
"It's not just a challenge. Do you see that guy at the entrance? He seems to be the head chef of some Shrimp and Crab Gathering. He said that Yuan Zhou's gourmet review website has insulted his reputation, so he's challenging him now," a customer who was watching at the entrance explained the situation to the newcomer.
Strictly speaking, Shrimp and Crab Gathering was quite famous. A few years ago, it even won the title of the freshest seafood restaurant.
It had six branches in Chengdu. However, the reputation it had built up over the years had long been ruined.
These things could be understood by listening to the comments of the surrounding customers.
"Shrimp and Crab Gathering? I just checked. The rating is only 0.1 Yuan. Both the service and the food are bad. "
"I've really tried this before. When I first saw that the rating was so low, I didn't believe it. Then, I realized that I was an idiot. It's obviously a frozen prawn. It's not fresh at all. There's also the fragrant and spicy crab. I'm not sure if the chef mistook white sugar for salt, but the fragrant and spicy crab is too sweet."
"Yuan Zhou's gourmet review website is the fairest I've ever seen. Every restaurant's rating is based on the customer's own feelings. Moreover, the queuing committee will conduct on-site investigations. It completely eliminates fake ratings and malicious negative reviews."
"Your food tastes bad, but you don't allow us to say it? If you have the time to defend your rights, then you should know the difference between white sugar and salt. "
As one could imagine, Chef Li's face turned red when he heard the customers' discussion. Don't misunderstand. It wasn't because he was ashamed. It was because he was so angry that his neck turned red.
People, especially those with high status, would find it harder to admit that they were wrong. Just like how the surrounding customers were commenting on Shrimp and Crab Gathering.
Chef Li didn't reflect on his own mistakes at all. Instead, he felt that these people were either bewitched by the gourmet review website or they were paid posters.
This kind of thinking was inconceivable. However, such people really existed. After all, there was such a person standing in front of Yuan Zhou.
"Yuan Zhou accepts the challenge." That's right. Chef Li had even formally prepared a challenge.
"I refuse," Yuan Zhou spat out two words with a solemn expression.
