Dare to cook

Chapter 236
"I'm here." As soon as Yao Yu finished speaking, Lu Chenyu poked his head out and waved in a taxi by the opposite road.

Yao Yu and Shen Qiuming hurriedly loaded their luggage into the car.

After leaving by car, Yao Yu asked, "Why did you come out first?"

Lu Chenyu said:

"I don't really want to be surrounded by reporters. When Li Xungui called out your name before, I retreated into the crowd."

"Afterwards, when I saw that you were surrounded by a group of people and couldn't walk, I came out first to stop the car."

Yao Yu suddenly nodded and said:

"That's fine. If you were noticed by reporters at the time, it might be more difficult for us to escape."

After all, Lu Chenyu's good looks are enough to abuse first-line movie stars, and she also has a lot of fans on the Internet, so she is quite famous.

Over the years, there were not many talent scouts who tried to persuade Lu Chenyu to enter the showbiz.

If she stayed there just now, and was photographed by some boring reporters and compared with Jiang Yuqi, there might be more troubles.

Lu Chenyu recalled the situation just now, and said with some displeasure:

"What's going on with your friend? Two weeks ago, he was hyping his new movie based on your enthusiasm for winning the championship. Just now at the airport, when he saw you about to leave, he dragged you to the reporters."

This tone of voice seemed to be telling the husband about his bad friend from his daughter-in-law.

Yao Yu listened and smiled wryly:
"Li Xungui has that kind of virtue. He is just like those talent scouts who always want to encourage you to enter the entertainment industry. He always thinks that it would be a pity not to be a young star with my conditions."

……

After leaving the airport, the three of Yao Yu went directly to the China Kitchen Association.

On the way to the General Kitchen Association, Yao Yu received a WeChat message from Li Xungui: "Damn you, when did you sign with Hua Restaurant?"

Yao Yu replied:

"It's none of your business {pick your nose}, I'll save you today, don't embarrass you in public, next time you drag me in front of reporters, don't blame me for breaking up with you!"

"Don't you man, I'm doing this for you. Your popularity has increased, and the various appearance fees will also increase in the future. Hey, where do you stay at night? Come out and drink together. My buddy introduces some Yanjing big girls to you. You know." Li Xungui typed, and incidentally made a mean expression.

Yao Yu glanced at it, and was too lazy to bother with this guy.

However, after another ten minutes, Li Xungui suddenly sent two pictures.

Yao Yu clicked on it, and couldn't help but said: "Fuck! Li Xungui has also become a partner of the Seventh Season Hua Restaurant!"

"What did you say? No way." Lu Chenyu was surprised.

Yao Yu directly showed the picture sent by Li Xungui to Lu Chenyu.

Li Xungui sent two pictures, one of which is a screenshot of the chat with Zheng Hailan.And the other one is a photo of the contract.

Both Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu had signed contracts, and after just a glance, they knew that the last page of the terms of the contract signed by Li Xungui was exactly the same as theirs.

What's more, no matter how good Li Xungui is, he won't be so bored as to cheat on this kind of thing.

"It seems that that guy has already reached an agreement with Zheng Hailan. But he probably didn't know beforehand that we also signed a contract with Chinese Restaurant." Yao Yu said with a pained face.

Seeing his tangled and speechless expression, Lu Chenyu turned to comfort him:
"Thinking about it carefully, it's a good thing for Li Xungui to join the Hua Restaurant. After all, he has enough influence and can bring popularity. And he is your friend. During the recording of the program, there shouldn't be any conflicts with us."

Yao Yu exhaled and said:

"Li Xungui won't make things difficult for us, he's that bastard...too loud. Anyway, if you get in touch with him in the future, you'll know what kind of virtue he is."

……

The headquarters of Huaxia Kitchen Association is located in Cangping District, Yanjing, a 10-[-]-minute drive from Yanjing Airport.

When Yao Yu and the others took a taxi to the headquarters of the Kitchen Association, it was almost twelve noon.

The Kitchen Association General Assembly is an independent building with a total height of 82 meters and a total of [-] floors inside.

Among them, half of the floors are used by the staff of the Kitchen Association.

The other half of the floor is used by the Culinary Association to store servers and precious cookbooks donated by various famous chefs.

For Chinese chefs, the Huaxia Kitchen Association is a huge Buddhist scripture pavilion.

Here, in this building, there are at least a thousand manuscripts and rubbings of all ancient cooking recipes from the early Ming Dynasty to modern times.

Of course, the Culinary Association also collects and properly preserves some isolated and original copies of ancient cookbooks.

It's just because those cookbooks are old, and their cultural and historical research significance far exceeds the significance of the cookbook itself, so ordinary chefs are out of reach.

"Four years in a flash, I didn't expect to come here again." Yao Yu looked at the Kitchen Association building in front of him, feeling a little emotional.

Shen Qiuming rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, we all know that you have been selected for the national team once, so let's stop relying on your old age."

While talking, the three of them dragged their suitcases into the hall of the general meeting.

At this point in time, most of the staff of the Culinary Association went to the restaurant on the sixth floor to eat.

In the hall, there was only one girl in uniform still guarding the front desk.

Yao Yu went straight to the front desk and said, "Hi, I'm Yao Yu. I have an appointment with Deacon Yuan Peng. Is he now?"

As a staff member of the Culinary Association, it is of course impossible not to recognize Yao Yu.

When the girl at the front desk saw Yao Yu, who was even more handsome than the male idol in the entertainment industry, taking the initiative to chat with her, she was so excited that even the freckles on her nose shone.

She blinked with stars and said immediately:
"Please wait a moment, I will help you contact Deacon Yuan."

As he said that, he quickly dialed the number of Yuan Peng's office, and then said to Yao Yu: "Deacon Yuan said he will be coming down soon. Please wait a little longer."

Yuan Peng is one of the assistants of Guan Shanyuan, the vice president of the Federation of Kitchen Associations, and also has a daily deacon position in the Federation.

Last time in Qindao, after the famous contest, he was the one who asked Yao Yu on behalf of the Kitchen Association if he would like to join the national team this year.

About four or five minutes later, Yuan Peng, dressed in formal attire, took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.

When he saw Yao Yu and the three of them, he smiled and said, "You are finally here. The other preliminaries have already arrived and are eating in the restaurant."

"Preliminary selection? Do we have to pass the assessment to become a member of the Green Kitchen Team?" Yao Yu wondered after hearing this.

"Of course you and Lu Chenyu don't need it, they are the default candidates for the captain." Yuan Peng smiled and made a gesture of invitation to the three of them.

The three of Yao Yu followed Yuan Peng into the elevator, and Yuan Peng continued:

"But the other seven places for the second team of Qingchu will be selected through competitions."

"Actually, when it comes to selection, it's just a formality."

"The candidates selected by President Guan are basically the strongest group on the jade food list. But you also know that some people also want to squeeze into the national kitchen team because of the support of other vice presidents."

"As long as you are selected into the national cooking team, even if it is a substitute position on the bench, once the national cooking team competes and wins awards, it will be considered a qualification that can be written into the file."

Most of the people around Guan Shanyuan have the same personality as Guan Shanyuan.Strong ability, focus on doing practical things, and dare to speak.

Yao Yu couldn't help smiling when he heard Yuan Peng's outspokenness, and he had a good impression of this young deacon who was not much older than himself.
