The members of the organizing committee did not know what was going on outside at the airport. They were in a stalemate with Shao Yan at the airport. Seeing that the other party was obviously not ready to cooperate with the work, and there were so many reporters and media around to record and shoot, the smiles on their faces began to smile. It becomes more and more stiff until it disappears.

The management of the reception team couldn't help but think, this Shao Yan is too bad at being a human being, and the organizing committee did neglect him a bit this time, but the specification of the car was just not that high, so they didn't let them leave directly at their own expense.He acted as if he didn't know that both sides looked good in the past, but now he looks like he won't leave without sugar, and he's just becoming famous, and he's imitating the stars and starting to play big names. How can you get along with the group of Western management in the organizing committee?Aren't you afraid of being put on small shoes?

Because the work was not progressing smoothly, the guilt that the staff of the organizing committee felt towards Shao Sheng due to the level of hospitality when they picked up the plane had long since disappeared.They tried to talk to Shao Yan, but because of the group of bodyguards around Shao Yan, they tried several times but failed.The people who had died down became angry, and they looked at each other a few times, and there was a mockery of Shao Yan in their eyes-the toast would not be fined, and now they are taking Joe, and their faces will be even uglier when they get into the car.

When Shao Yan was walking out in the middle protected by the bodyguards, they thought it was a signal of softness, and while they were relieved, they couldn't help showing a bit of disdain.The person in charge was exhausted by the incident just now, and he didn't want to continue to get along with Shao Yan at the moment, so he winked at the subordinates he brought and stayed in the airport by himself.

Shao Yan and his group of bodyguards didn't look at him again until they left, which made the person in charge who thought he could use the last communication to sneer at each other a little bit regretful, but when he thought of going back to the organizing committee to talk to him There are still many opportunities for Shao Yan to meet, and the little unwillingness is quickly put aside.

When I got near the gate, the surrounding reporters swarmed up, all kinds of loud questions mixed with the sound of the shutter made it quite noisy.Shao Yan was originally wearing a mask, but he raised his hand and took off the mask after thinking of the details of the etiquette he was taught to deal with the media in S City. The media didn't even react when he waved and smiled at the various cameras. When he was about to leave, the people around him suddenly became excited.

"Shao Yan!!!" Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "We believe in you!! We must win the championship!!!!"

When Shao Yan heard this sentence, he was actually about to go out, but he still stopped and looked back. He couldn't find out who the person who spoke was, but he still gave it to everyone behind him. A confident smile.

Squinting his eyes and fine-tuning his chin, the smile made people somehow think of some kind of animal known for its pride and ego. Compared with the elegant chef of country F and country D, this person in front of him is truly pleasing to the eye.For a while, there was a constant sound of shutters in the rear, and even many passers-by couldn't help but took out their mobile phones to take pictures.Shao Yan, who was led by bodyguards, directly ignored the train team sent by the organizing committee. Seeing that the later train team really came to pick him up, there was another small-scale uproar among the people present.

"Damn, these ghosts have finally hit the iron plate, and there is no need to talk about peace when dealing with them!"

"This matter can't just be left alone, shoot! Shoot more, go back to make a special feature, and slap them in the face!"

"The competition in country C actually neglects the chefs of country C. I would like to ask what the organizing committee means. Do you treat us like a persimmon?"

The bell in the bag of the person in charge who wanted to find a place to buy a cup of coffee at the airport rang loudly. After answering the call, the subordinate who was dispatched out said in a crying voice: "What should I do... Shao Yan didn't go with us, they There is a convoy..."

"What!" The person in charge's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously ran towards the gate, yelling at the phone while running, "How do you do things! Didn't you tell them not to bring their own transportation before coming here!!"

But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't catch up with the started car when she went out.After seeing the shining silver label on the buttocks of the driving away team, the person in charge's eyes went dark, and he immediately knew it was not good.

He had a vague premonition in his heart since he knew that Shao Yan took a private plane to City B, but after investigating the inside story of the separation of the two households of the Shao family, they really did not expect that Shao Yan's financial situation would be so affluent.Facing the help-seeking gazes cast by the driver who was thrown away and the subordinates of the reception team, he looked around the media and successfully captured the expressions on many people's faces that they didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

"Get in the car." She was sweating profusely, her voice was a little weaker, and her face was forced to not show panic, "Hurry up and call the organizing committee, I'm afraid things won't go well this time. "

-

Shao Yan and six bodyguards sat in the huge car and it didn't look crowded. Shao Yan had never been in this kind of car, and he had seen similar cars outside, but it was only now that he didn't know that it was actually a side car. sitting.When he got in the car just now, he took a look at the cars sent by the organizing committee while no one was paying attention, and found that there was no difference in other aspects except that they were not as beautiful as the cars he was sitting on now.Mr. Shao, who has always paid little attention to ostentation, was blinded by aesthetics when he left the sedan chair, and he knew little about the Hyundai signs that distinguish the value of vehicles.

After getting in the car, the bodyguard gave Yan Daichuan a phone number to report his safety, and handed it to Shao Yan after a few words.

Through the receiver, Yan Daichuan's deep voice became more magnetic: "Don't go to the hotel arranged by the organizing committee, I have a residence in City B. Don't worry about today's matter, I will take care of it."

Shao Yan asked: "What is it?"

Yan Daichuan was not surprised by his answer, and laughed a few times on the other end, and stopped mentioning the fact that the organizing committee neglected Shao Yan, and told him other things with a smile: "I will let people take your The address is given to the organizing committee, and they will come to you to discuss the details of the competition. If you stay at home and get bored, go out and wander around. City B has a rich heritage, and there should be many things you are interested in. By the way, try to go out as little as possible If you have conflicts with others, you must bring bodyguards with you when you go out."

Yan Daichuan's house in City B was finally well received by Shao Yan. He didn't know much about the location. Shao Yan just observed that there were a lot fewer people on the road since he didn't know when.The obsession with the past is not very deep, mainly because Shao Yan has not been in contact with the antique house for a long time. After seeing the simple and elegant vermilion lacquer door outside the courtyard, he likes it in his heart. After opening the gate, the courtyard is patchwork. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The corridor behind the gate is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are no more trivial decorations in the courtyard except for a few small pillars in the style of palace lanterns. .The view from the gate is empty, and the courtyard is wide open and closed. Although it is not as luxurious as the palace where Shao Yan once lived, it is not covered with glazed tiles, but just looking at the form, you can also find that the people who built this house spent a lot of thought.Probably because it rained the day before in City B, the courtyard was still damp, mixed with the unique freshness of wooden houses, which immediately gave Shao Yan the illusion of traveling back in time and space.

Shao Yan looked around all the way into the promenade. The flower garden in the yard was obviously taken care of by a special person regularly, and the green leaves were dotted with seasonal flowers. Although the aesthetics brought modern art, the furnishings here did not seem obtrusive.The carved beams and painted buildings in the halls in the courtyard are very meticulously repaired. After comparing the beams carved into various auspicious boards under the eaves and tiles, there is no one similar. The window panels, walls and even the pillars that can be seen everywhere in the house are obviously a lot of work. Shao Yan instantly found seven or eight bat windows with different carvings.It is not a new technology, but it is rare to put it together without looking old.

The bodyguard who followed behind said: "Mr. Yan said that there are usually people who clean and repair flowers and plants here. They are all old guys from the Yan family. They don't look very good and don't usually come out. Don't be scared when you come out. This room There are a total of two roads and twenty or so houses. He lives in the first yard at the back. You can live there if you like. If you want to see another yard, the keys will be handed over to you before you come. This alley faces the front Walking is an open-to-visit academic mansion, there are quite a lot of people, if you are bored, you can also go and have a look, it is bigger than here."

"Twenty or so houses?" Shao Yan thought about the regularity of the distribution of ordinary houses and the size of the yards, and nodded in satisfaction, "Although it's not too big, it's enough to live in. This place is good. Are there many houses like this in City B?"

Although the bodyguards usually regard silence as a beauty, they are ordinary people after all. Of course, they have some understanding of this topic that most people are interested in: "The architectural styles of different places are different, and the original style of houses with this style can be preserved. Just a few, almost all of the existing ones are kept in City B. Not too many."

Shao Yan asked: "Are there any bigger ones?"

The head of the bodyguard raised his eyebrows: "Yes, there are, but not many. The bachelor's mansion that will be opened later is bigger than this one, and there are only more than 30 rooms that are open in and out. If it is bigger, it will go to X Sea. There is a bigger one." The big palace, with forty or fifty rooms, is also a scenic area. It’s not enough, so we can only enter the first ring.”

"More than 40 rooms..."

Shao Yan thought about this, it was about the same size as the house he used to live in, and couldn't help asking: "Where can I buy a house like the palace you mentioned? What does it mean to enter the first ring road? There are many houses like that in it? "

"...You ask this..." The bodyguard was silent for a moment, and then asked slowly, "I haven't tried to find out, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy. But it's useless to buy so many, Mr. Yan is enough here, right? "

"This is his house, what does it have to do with me." Shao Yan thought for a while, but couldn't help but comment, "What's more, it's more like living alone now, and it will be a little younger if you marry a wife and have children in the future. You said that the one with about forty rooms is pretty good to me, if there is any one that is said to be sold, please help me to keep an eye on it."

As Shao Yan said, he turned his head and went into the house to choose a room. The bodyguard followed him and didn't know what expression he should put on.The last time he came to Yan Daichuan to observe the whole house, it took him a long time. He opened the doors of the big and small houses separated by two alleys, and some places where few people lived were so empty that they were almost eerie.I heard that this house was bought by the Yan family when they came to City B fifteen or sixteen years ago. I don't know how much money was spent on repairs and maintenance during these years. I don't know how many people in City B want this house, and the price has reached nine figures many years ago. If it weren't for the name of the Yan family on the head of the household, this house would not be preserved today.In City B, where land and money are at a premium, there are actually people living in such a house. They find it a little unacceptable even after seeing too many big scenes. In the end, this house is in Shao Yan's mouth...

Can't live without marrying a wife and having children? !

How much is he going to give birth to!Are you raising piglets? ?

The bodyguard stared at Shao Yanqing's slender back and felt very distressed. Thinking that this person didn't talk to him two days ago, he still felt that his employer was too boring this time, so he finally opened his mouth to communicate...

Forget it, Shao Yan should just keep silent.

When the reception team first reported the offending Shao Yan to the organizing committee, the competition didn't take it seriously.The food competition has been held for so many years. Although they bring country C every time, there are really not many chefs from country C who can make a name for themselves in it.So from the very beginning, the high-level executives of the competition party did not include the chefs of country C in the camp that needs to be focused on. After all, it is the western high-level people who control the competition party and have the right to speak. .

The competition is not as clear as the outside world imagined, the power and power are superimposed, and there are so many contestants who have complained about injustice over the years.But authority is authority. The status of this worldwide food competition in all kinds of food competitions is the same as that of ancient plums in food critics. The power of authority cannot be shaken by small-scale public opinion.

The fact that Shao Yan didn't get on the organizing committee's car and just followed the car he got was like slapping the organizing committee. After getting the news, the people in the organizing committee were more or less unhappy. The impression of Shao Yan, who showed a domineering style, naturally became bad in an instant.

Western high-level people pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, but the logic of this kind of gentlemanly demeanor is also somewhat robbery. They can accept their side's neglect of Shao Yan, but they cannot accept Shao Yan's impolite response to this neglect.Immediately, someone proposed to disqualify Shao Yan from participating in this competition, and the charges were nothing more than not showing enough respect to the organizing committee.With Shao Yan setting this precedent, the chefs in Country C will probably compare themselves one by one. How can this go on?You must kill the chicken and show it to the monkey.

The high-level committee members communicated in private, and planned to hold a small meeting before the game to go through the process and then announce the decision to disqualify Shao Yan from the competition. However, the opinions were not even unified, and the pressure from the outside world was overwhelming in an instant.

First of all, it was the sponsor of the competition. Assistant Yan Daichuan, who had spent a lot of money to get Shao Yan into the competition, personally called the organizing committee.The assistant expressed Yan Daichuan's meaning in a very comprehensive way, changed his gentleness when contacting the sponsorship, and severely condemned the style of the high-level organizing committee for taking money and not doing things.They almost forgot that Shao Yan was a related household, and then the high-level executives remembered how much money the contestant had received thanks to him. Stop.

The competition has already been held, and if the Yan family withdraws their capital at this time, the chain negative effects caused will not be acceptable to the senior executives in country C.Naturally, there was no need to discuss the issue of eligibility for the competition. After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides could not reach a stalemate on the issue of whether the contest party should apologize to Shao Yanfu. The second wave of pressure from the media and the people of country C came one after another.

After the public opinion war in City S, Yan Daichuan gradually figured out the means of controlling public opinion. Compared with City S, which values ​​assets and international relations, he is obviously more comfortable in City B. A small move made City B The media in surrounding cities became active all of a sudden. The focus of the news in City B has never been the same as that of other cities, and the political significance is far more than what is presented in the text.The competition organizing committee is very sensitive about the issues that are treated differently this time, and the impact can be mild or serious. After being processed by the media who are good at catching small braids, it is naturally impossible to develop in a milder way.

A competition held in country C dared to openly discriminate against the participating members of country C in the reception. This kind of news immediately made the folks who are very concerned about the food competition explode.Shao Yan has just won the honorary title of Gumei's three-star honor, and the topic is not low. Being involved in this incident has made it right, and there are even more people who care about the content than ordinary current affairs.From Shao Yan being discriminated against by the competition organizing committee to C country cuisine being discriminated against by the competition organizing committee, the strength of the title only needs a few changes in the text, but for the organizing committee that has not yet started the official competition, it is more than a few words. It's as simple as a word.

The leader of the reception team made a prophecy that day, and this matter really can't be helped.

The food competition has been held so many times, and there have been many accusations of unfair treatment, but the noise from the outside world has never been as terrifying as it is now. It was like a group fight, and the organizing committee was defeated in an instant.

The high-level leaders who originally thought that this matter was not serious were suddenly dumbfounded. Even the leaders of the headquarters of the competition committee heard the news, and immediately called the transoceanic phone call to scold the person in charge of country C.The Global Gourmet Competition can attract senior chefs from so many countries to participate. It’s hard to know how many generations have worked hard just to establish a fair appearance. Although the judges secretly have their own favorite countries, at least on the surface, no one can grasp them. to such handles.There has never been such a serious condemnation from a certain country. If one is not handled well, the reputation of the competition will be rotten!

What's more, it's not an ordinary country that got involved in this matter, but country C.Even if the current C cuisine does not reach the level of R and F cuisines in the West because of lack of packaging and management, its status in Asian cuisine is unquestionable.In such a populous country, just one mouthful of saliva from one person can drown a small country.Even though country c still doesn't have a lot of say in many aspects of the world, there is absolutely no non-governmental organization that dares to challenge such a behemoth in such a grand manner.

Western high-level officials who have never seen the unanimous xenophobic attitude of Chinese people on certain matters suddenly panicked, shifting responsibility from each other, and did not admit that they were one of the decision-makers who made the welcome plan because of insufficient resources. .

This time, the Internet was the last one to get the news. After all, the influence that netizens of this level of struggle can have is not enough to see.Some people also said that Shao Yan was too hypocritical after seeing the convoy sent by the organizing committee to meet Shao Yan. He had to be picky about the specifications that were clearly not bad, and he seemed rude in front of foreigners.In the end, all of these people were sprayed to death because of their attitude of kneeling and licking foreigners. All in all, people who support Shao Yan are definitely the majority in this kind of big issue.

The one-sided format made the organizing committee feel a little bit overwhelmed, and they lost even a bit of prestige in front of the participating guests.There is no need to talk about the original decision to disqualify Shao Yan from the competition, but even if they want to solve this matter, they still prefer Shao Yan to take the initiative to give in.But in the few days from the plane landing to the outside world, Shao Yan never even made a phone call in person, not to mention coming to the organizing committee to report. This attitude of not taking the game seriously really made the arrogant The organizing committee couldn't make a move to send someone to apologize.

But soon, the situation is beyond one's choice.

When they received the rectification proposal from the Propaganda Department of City B, including the high-level executives of the food competition headquarters, they were all dumbfounded. No one expected that the official department of Country C would be able to intervene in this battle about the competition.The opinion paper highlighted several criticisms of the bad social impact of the food competition due to poor handling of details, almost telling them bluntly that if they want to continue to run the competition, they must first wipe this ass clean.

The competition has been held for so many sessions, and has never faced such a crisis of being suspended.This is much more serious than being scolded by social media. If it is really because of this reason that the competition cannot be carried out normally, then this group of senior managers of the C country competition organizing committee will definitely become sinners who will remember the history of the food competition!Who still has time to take care of the face of the face, the organizing committee sent a few representatives to follow the address given by Assistant Yan Daichuan to ask for peace.

Shao Yan couldn't get in the car of the organizing committee. If he continued to go back to the competition as if nothing had happened, God knows how the sanctimonious management of the organizer would torment him.Yan Daichuan couldn't figure out how many times he wanted to touch his cards but was intercepted by others. The pressure he exerted on the organizing committee was progressive. The economic and public opinion sanctions had not been pushed to the peak. There is a force who does not know the details of the situation and promotes the development of the situation temporarily.

This feels like the last time when Shao Yan solved the struggle between the Shao family and Yumenxi for Shao Yan in S City. Originally, there was only one step left to solve the problem, but the sudden Gumei Samsung hat solved all the follow-up work that he hadn't finished yet. It's like trouble, it makes people feel like standing in mid-air, worrying about gains and losses, unable to touch the sky and step on the ground, it's so uncomfortable to die.Yan Daichuan's original plan was indeed to develop the incident to the point where giants like the Propaganda Department would intervene, but the current situation is far below what he expected.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or angry. The inexplicable person behind him helped Shao Yan solve the big trouble, but it also ruined his good deed.
