Looking at the crowd's reaction, President Hua smiled proudly.
He had known Gu Zheng's identity for a long time. It was not because he knew him, but because he happened to attend an event a year ago and heard someone talking about it. The person who talked about it was none other than Gu Zheng himself. At that time, Gu Ming happened to come back to China and attended the event on the invitation of a good friend. The two did not know each other and just met at the event site.
At that time, Gu Ming mentioned his son to an old friend. He said that Gu Zheng had become a food critic and had just started working. He hoped that his friend would help him. Gu Ming knew all the heavyweights in the circle, and he knew his son's temper, so he specially asked him to take care of Gu Zheng.
He did not pay much attention to it when he heard it. However, Gu Ming was a world-famous chef after all, so he still remembered it in his heart.
For more than a year, President Hua and Gu Zheng did not have any interaction. It was not until Gu Zheng published the article that he remembered it. The article was shown to him by his secretary. His secretary would collect the news about their restaurant as soon as possible.
Gu Zheng's article only gave his duck blood vermicelli soup a score of 59 points. At that time, CEO Hua was very unhappy. He also heard the head chef complaining, saying that he had to teach a lesson to a brat who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth.
At that time, President Hua was moved and thought of a challenge. Gu Zheng was the descendant of a famous chef. If he really won against Gu Zheng, he could announce Gu Zheng's identity and increase the fame of their restaurant. In the future, they would have more capital to be proud of.
Although the winner was not Gu Ming, the three-star head chef, his son was also fine. After all, this was China, and a son was also a symbol of identity. Moreover, a three-star head chef would not accept their challenge.
As for Gu Zheng's rejection of the challenge, President Hua did not think much about it. They proposed the challenge to prove their reputation. Gu Zheng's rejection would prove that Gu Zheng's score was not accurate, and they could refute it.
That was why he suggested the challenge to the head chef. After that, he showed that he attached great importance to this matter.
Without his support, it was impossible for a head chef to take on such a challenge.
In the end, he was extremely disappointed. Gu Zheng's culinary skills were completely beyond his expectations. Every dish he made was better than the last. Even he couldn't find any fault with it. Losing this competition was already a foregone conclusion.
Unwilling to give up, he thought of making a fuss about Gu Zheng's father. He deliberately praised Gu Zheng, saying that he had surpassed his father, and even deliberately said that this was Gu Ming's cooking skill. He wanted to make them think that they had lost to a world-famous chef. A fast-food restaurant losing to a world-famous chef was not shameful, but a kind of pride.
Reversing black and white and substituting a beam for a pillar. It had to be said that President Hua was very scheming.
Moreover, everyone's reaction was just as he had guessed. After learning about Gu Zheng's true identity, everyone was no longer shocked by Gu Zheng's culinary skills. With such a father, it was no wonder that he had such good culinary skills.
At the same time, they also had a trace of sympathy for the duck blood vermicelli shop. Of all the people to challenge, they chose such a powerful person. He was a real professional. It was not a loss for them to lose.
"Shameless, despicable!"
The host in the live broadcast room lightly swallowed his phlegm. Many people on the scene were misled and deceived by President Hua's words, but not everyone. There were still a few smart people, and the host in the live broadcast room was one of them.
"You said it in such a dignified way. You already knew that he had such good culinary skills. Why did you still shamelessly propose a challenge?"
"It's okay to challenge him, but you can't afford to lose. You deliberately gave him zero points. Now you say you admire him. You really think others are fools."
The host thought, typing in his hands, and began to analyze in the live broadcast room. Anyway, he was a member of the website, and he was on Gu Zheng's side. He immediately analyzed all his thoughts, and the discussion in the live broadcast room became more heated.
"I know Master Gu Ming. I didn't expect Buzheng to be his son!"
"What does this have to do with Master Gu Ming? President Hua obviously can't afford to lose. In the end, he used Master Gu Ming's reputation to make himself look good. He really has no shame!"
"That's right. I was a loyal customer of his shop. I will never go there again!"
The number of people in the live broadcast room had already exceeded 50,000, and now it had reached almost 60,000. With so many people discussing and scolding President Hua in the live broadcast room, the host's mood finally became better. From time to time, he added fuel to the fire. After a while, the whole live broadcast room was almost filled with people scolding President Hua.
There was more than one smart person. The host thought of this, and others also thought of this, including President Wu and Elder Gao.
Mumu also reacted at this time. Unfortunately, she was behind and had no right to speak. She could only hatefully look at the complacent President Hua. Elder Gao and President Wu had already stood up, especially Elder Gao, who stood up and directly questioned loudly.
"President Hua, you already knew Buzheng's identity. Why didn't you say it earlier? As far as I know, Gu Ming has never made fried eggs, chicken blood soup, or duck blood vermicelli soup. How can you be sure that Buzheng learned all these from Gu Ming?"
Elder Gao's words immediately stopped everyone's discussion, and they all looked at President Hua.
Elder Gao's words suddenly hit the key point, which was also the most important point. Losing to a young man and losing to the cooking skills of a famous chef were definitely two different concepts.
"Elder Gao, do you still need to say this? They are father and son. What Master Gu Ming knows, Buzheng definitely knows. Is it possible that Buzheng learned such simple food outside?"
President Hua spread out his hands and said with a smile. Many people around him also laughed. What President Hua said made sense. Such simple food, especially fried eggs, was basically taught by family members. They learned it from a young age.
"You!"
Elder Gao was slightly stunned and his face turned red. He didn't expect this person to use such a shameless reason to oppose him. However, this reason made him unable to continue questioning.
"President Hua, can I ask you a question?" Gu Zheng suddenly smiled and walked down from the stage. He walked directly to President Hua and asked slowly.
"Of course, you can ask!"
President Hua didn't refuse. The scene was completely under his control. Even if Gu Zheng denied it, he wouldn't be worried. After all, this was something that no one could prove. As long as he could guide everyone's thoughts, it would be fine.
"President Hua, do you often lie?" Gu Zheng's face suddenly became serious. He asked a question that no one had thought of.
President Hua just wanted to shake his head, but he directly said, "Often. Everyone is like this. They only know how to say things that are beneficial to them. Who would say things that are disadvantageous to them? What's wrong with lying?"
"What?"
"What's wrong with President Hua?"
A smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face and he continued to ask, "Then don't you feel ashamed? You only say things that are beneficial to you. Doesn't that mean that anything that is disadvantageous to you is wrong and you are always right?" "Of course, of course.
Anything that is against me and is disadvantageous to me is wrong. For example, you. Don't think that it's fine just because your cooking skills are good. I already know that you have a good father. As long as I announce this news, everything can be covered up. So what if you win today? I'll let you win. In the afternoon, I'll go buy news and announce that we lost to a famous chef. I won't even use your name. This way, others will think that we lost to Gu Ming. Even if there are people who don't understand who see your news, they will think that we lost to Gu Ming's cooking skills.
President Hua had a proud look. The people around him were all dumbfounded, especially President Hua's secretary. His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it no matter how hard he tried.
