royal family

"It's really helpless, but the scene is full of media and audiences who are filming, and Leon just yelled directly..."

"...Why don't you stop him? Stop him! Can't stop him! He runs fast!"

"This...how can we blame us? The theme was chosen by the headquarters..."

The person in charge of the organizing committee of this year's competition hung up the phone with a nod and bowed his head. After letting out a long breath, he fell into the seat and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in, and carefully spread out several newspapers from different newspapers that were published that day on his desk.

The person in charge picked it up and scanned it. He couldn’t understand the C language, but he could understand the entire foreign language M country daily. The headline on the front page was the news that another round of global food competition had ended, and this year’s food competition was also attached. In the end, there was explosive news about a Chinese national among the champions.

"Shao Yan, a young chef from country C, finally stood out from the competition theme that was very unfavorable to him, and embraced Leon, the chef of Changta restaurant in country F, who was also one of the final winners. Lyon bluntly expressed his talent for food Not as good as the other party..."

In a short report, it was mentioned three times in a row that the selection of the topic of the final was unfavorable to Shao Yan, and it was written no less than five times that Leon mistakenly thought that he was the only one who won the award and went to the judging stand to feel unfair for Shao Yan. , repeating the identity of Shao Yan from the C country and the chef of Gumei Samsung Restaurant countless times.

The person in charge let out a long sigh, threw the newspaper aside, and thought of the headquarter executive who had just hung up the phone and yelled at him, and felt exhausted physically and mentally for a while.

What does it mean that the inside and the outside are not human?That's it.

At the headquarters, it was obvious that one of his own people hadn't done a good job in the early investigation, so he randomly found a material that most chefs in country C were not good at, and decided that Shao Yan was also one of the "most people".Now the situation is out of control, and the anger is blamed on them who have no responsibility at all. Blame them for not knowing how to adapt to the situation, rashly setting a precedent for the double champions, and leaving countless hidden dangers for the holding of the competition in the future.

Who can blame this?In order to convince the group of judges, they humbly talked their tongues dry.Who knew that Leon would act like a fool and openly complain for Shao Yan even though he won the award?There were people everywhere in the arena that day, and when Leon asked questions, the microphones on the judging booth were turned on again. Such an unexpected situation under the eyes of everyone was absolutely unprecedented. Even the host was frightened at the time. The reputation of the competition will be ruined!In the observation room, they could quickly come up with such an idea to turn the tide. They really wanted Shao Yan to leave empty-handed... Youcanyouup!

In Country C, Shao Yan had clearly won the final championship, but the media and audience didn't know that and just let it go, they were still yelling that the competition was unfair all day long.The Global Gourmet Contest is indeed unfair, so every session has been slapped with flowers since the beginning of the sponsorship.The members of the organizing committee should have gotten used to this situation long ago, but they still feel overwhelmed by the special condemnation culture of country C, which is extremely good at cynicism.

People in country C, especially the official media, will never write any statement on the headline that can make people catch it.They will only repeatedly emphasize the distribution of the wonderful topic selections of this competition, jokingly mention those domestic chefs in the arena who have made it to the final with strong strength and have never touched pastry, and then recall the final winner Shao Yan and this competition When Shao Yan participated in the guest contest, the organizing committee neglected his reception specifications, which can be found in almost every report.

Now the result is a foregone conclusion, no matter how reluctant they are, the members of their group committee have to be polite to Shao Yan.The voices of questioning and ridicule from the people hurt people's faces, but the organizing committee was completely unable to say any rebuttals for their own side, because as long as they spoke up, they would inevitably usher in more ferocious ridicule.

After the whole competition, what are they trying to figure out?

It is better to ask God such profound questions.

-

The trophy in his hand was heavy, and Father Shao quickly locked it in the deepest part of the study cabinet. He took countless photos and posted them in the circle of friends. As a decoration, it is not enough to wipe it ten times a day.

It's such an honor, in the whole world, it's the first chef from country C to win this award. Even Yumenshi's style seems to be extraordinary because of this trophy.

It's a pity that life is such a mess, and it always refuses to let people live everything smoothly.

At lunch time, the whole family sat around the table to eat. Shao's father clutched his hungry stomach and went to the restaurant, and everyone at the table gave them meaningful glances.

Shao Yan ate with a sullen face and ignored him.

After a few days like this, Father Shao has gotten used to it, subconsciously showing a flattering smile on his face, and laughing as he approached the dining table: "Look what's on the menu today... oh, soy pork ribs, fried chicken , minced meat soup with yam..." Shao's father was drooling while counting, all of them were his favorite heavy dishes!Shao Yan's soy pork ribs and smooth chicken are excellent, and once in a while, he can even eat two more bowls of rice, and the minced yam soup is appetizing, soft and slippery.The yam cut into fluff has already been stewed into a thick soup. The minced meat was marinated before it was put into the pot. After chewing it, it is full of fragrance in the mouth. It is very comfortable to drink whether it is before or after a meal. Good for the body.

None of the people at the table dared to speak, their eyes flickered one by one, and Shao Yan tried his best to wink at them.

Yan Yi smiled and nodded at him, but did not move; Li Yuke glanced at Shao Yan, and after thinking about it, he gave his brother-in-law a self-seeking look; Shao's mother looked at her husband with a bowl in embarrassment Looking at his son again, his lips twitched.

"Mom, eat vegetables." Shao Yan put a piece of plump and tender vinegared fish into her bowl, and met Shao's mother's gaze with his faint eyes, successfully dispelling all the little courage she had just brewed up.

Shao's father stared at his wife who had eaten until the back of her head was left for a while, feeling desolate in his heart, and slowly turned his gaze to Yan Daichuan.

Yan Daichuan straightened his spine subconsciously, and looked at Father Shao seriously with his job bowl in his hand.

Three seconds later, he approached Shao Yan weakly and tried to intercede: "...Uncle, he..."

"Dad." Shao Yan raised his hand and pushed Yan Daichuan away who was approaching, and almost pushed him off the chair, but he didn't even look over there, pointing directly at the small dining table next to the dining table and said to Shao's father, "You've been too sad recently, so it's better not to eat heavy oily meat. I asked Aunt Wei to prepare the vegetable and seafood soup. We have these dishes on the table. You should come back to eat these dishes after your health is better."

Father Shao wiped his tears and shook his head: "QAQ, I am in good health..."

"Are you kidding me?" Shao Yan slowly opened a smile with white teeth, but it didn't look sunny at all. Instead, the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a cold haze, "200 million bet , now that you can't get it back, you are so sad that you can hardly sleep, so don't be brave in front of our family."

This is definitely the most memorable lesson in Shao's father's life history. It is definitely an inhuman torture to eat Aunt Wei's handiwork while smelling the fragrant food cooked by Shao Yan on the main table.In fact, it was true, before Shao Yan started cooking, Shao's father always ate these aunts' handicrafts. At that time, he didn't feel that there was anything unsatisfactory in the taste, at most it could only be regarded as mediocre.However, after getting used to a high-standard life and suddenly returning to the previous treatment, it is definitely not an easy task to get used to it.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

He chewed the sautéed cabbage in his mouth tastefully, his eyes fixed on the pork ribs that Yan Yi had another large chopstick in.The sauced pork ribs in thick oil and red sauce were stuffed into his mouth steaming hot, the size was just enough for a man to take a whole mouthful, Yan Yi shook his cheeks and ate his mouth full of oil, his face was full of the kind of expression that could not be concealed after eating the food. Act on spiritual enjoyment.

Father Shao understands what it means to be happy with a small gamble and hurt your body with a big gamble.

-

The strawberry pastry that Shao Yan made in the competition was quite popular. The regular customers of Yumenxi always asked about it after eating and ordering. Don’t mention how disappointed they were when they found out that there was no pastry for sale in the store. .

Even the overseas media gave great affirmation to the shiny strawberries from his hands.The names of Yumenxi and Shao Yan really became popular overseas, unlike the original publicity that was too high-end, this is the real sense of universal knowledge.As a result, overseas reports related to Yumenxi suddenly increased like a blowout, and various foods and wines in country C that were previously unknown to ordinary people also surfaced.Different from the relatively implicit positioning in country C, overseas, Yumenxi, a restaurant that is active in the upper class of society and economy, and its main clients are all rich and expensive, has obviously received more naked affirmation and pursuit. Going to country C to eat a meal at the royal door has become something worth showing off.

The sales of Yumen Zun wine has seen a slight increase all of a sudden, and more and more people are making money by purchasing Yumen Zun products across borders. Father Shao went to check the wine of Yumen Zun overseas on a whim. He found out that his own products after leaving the country have become luxury goods like sweet pastry, and the price is so high that even he, the boss, can hardly stand it.

Speaking of this, the people of country C feel quite proud. Customers in country C have been taken advantage of in the economic market for too long. It has always been the case that cheap products from overseas are shipped to China and sold at sky-high prices. The categories are simply too numerous to enumerate.There are very few products from country C that are so popular with high-end customers overseas. It's really a joy to hear and see, and the ghosts have also tasted the difference in price!

Accompanied by such scenery, customers only feel that Yumenzun even wine is two points sweeter, and the simple and heavy store doors and signboards are more and more stylish and confident.

Sakurai Yuo slowly poured out a glass of cherry blossom wine that he brewed with great concentration. His wine, just like his cooking, was almost impeccable in terms of visual beauty.There are finely chopped cherry blossom patterns floating on the carefully burnt small wine bottle, and in the matching cherry blossom cup, the cherry blossom petals that are almost melted can be faintly seen in the slightly pink clear wine.

The wine is clear and long-lasting, with the aroma of flowers, and it has the unique accent of the exquisite cuisine of R country that Sakurai Yuo pursues.

He drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, put down the glass, and let out a long sigh.

His sakura wine was also very popular with elegant people in the past. Before the appearance of Yumenxi, it was sold for ten thousand gold when it was the most popular.But such a situation has never happened since the emergence of Huaniang. The roasted duck works completely overwhelmed the limelight of Yihuang Restaurant, and the subsequent passion fruit wine even squeezed the position of Sakura Wine among the high-end customers. left.

Now after the opening of Yumenzun, Iko's cherry blossom wine is completely out of date, and the sales volume is even less than a quarter of what it used to be when the market was good. This makes Sakurai Yuo feel frustrated and helpless.

He couldn't help thinking of Shao Yan, and remembered the long-lost sword technique of the Sakurai family, and recalled the experience of trying to block Shao Yan several times and being beaten violently.

In the quiet restaurant, the voices of students chatting and laughing suddenly sounded. Yuo Sakurai sat quietly in the distance. The students who came in obviously did not expect him to be here, and they were still chatting lively and cheerfully: "Try one~ the taste is really delicious. Awesome!"

"Why can I do this? Ah... If only I were that good."

"Wow! The smell of strawberries is so strong!"

"The milky fragrance is very light. This should be the most expensive candy, right?"

"Speaking of which, Yumenxi is really good. The fees are also very high, but the business is so much better than ours. Especially now that the checkout is giving candy, have you seen it? The terrible traffic at the door!"

"Yes! I don't know why I can't help but... Teacher!"

A group of chattering and laughing young people opened the straw curtain and saw Sakurai Yuki who was sitting at the cooking counter with his back to everyone. Due to the competition in Yumenxi's business, his face suddenly turned pale.

Among the apprentices, Sakurai Hideo had the undeniable majesty. He sat there calmly and stared at the crowd for a while, until he saw the two wars between a group of young people, and then he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me .”

"What... what?"

Yuo Sakurai looked at the small wooden box that was still being held by the college student walking in the middle.

After receiving the candy box from the apprentice in panic, he waved his hands without raising his head, and a group of immature children disappeared like little sparrows who had been exhausted.

Yuo Sakurai stared at the exquisitely crafted small box in his hand, which was slender and shaped like a bento box for sushi.The outside of the box is pitch black, and the color creates an ingenious sense of nobility. On the inside, the lid of the box is engraved with the big characters of Yumonzai's signature.This slender box is divided into countless small spaces, each grid is only about the size of a pastry, most of it is empty, and there are three boxes left to hold the content, which is small and exquisite with a creamy matte luster strawberry candy.

He had seen this candy before in the competition, but he had no chance to taste it. He only knew that Shao Yan defeated his carefully developed foie gras dessert with it and won the final victory.

The strawberry candy is really small, and it is supported on the strawberry stalks that are still fresh in color.The rich strawberry aroma is not hindered by the miniature size, and it spreads to every corner of the cheeks at the moment it is put into the mouth: sour, sweet, crispy shell and strawberry sauce with milky flavor...

Sakurai tasted it carefully, and when he came back to his senses, the small box was already empty, and even the stalks of strawberries wrapped in sugar and freeze-dried had been chewed and swallowed.

With an unspeakable loss in his heart, he stared at the empty box for a moment, then carefully covered it and put it in the pocket of his coat.

Along with the news that Shao Yan had won the championship, there was also a certain rumor that had surfaced some time ago.

Just like a plant encounters fertile soil and nutrients, news about Shao Yan's uncle Shao Yubo spread all over the main pages of gossip newspapers and magazines in major cities overnight.

Some media who claimed to be paparazzi took a recent photo of Shao Yubo. In the photo, the man leaning on a cane with his face crooked is obviously younger than Shao's father, but his old-fashioned appearance looks older than Shao's father by more than 20 years.Shao's father hadn't paid attention to the current situation of his younger brother's family for a long time, and he was taken aback when he saw the photos one time. He couldn't bear it for a short moment, but he soon learned about the hype from Yan Daichuan. After the cause and effect, I will no longer squander excess sympathy everywhere.

Shao Yubo seemed to be the saddest person in this century, with disability, inconvenience in life, family disharmony, and the company was snatched away by other shareholders in the group.How glorious he was in the past, how frustrated he is now. Just because of the news that Shao Yan won the championship, he gained attention, and all walks of life began to discuss his current fate extensively.

The Shao family brothers were at odds, and Yumenzun and Shao's struggle did not last for a day or two. Combined with Shao's previous suppression of Yumenxi, the final ending of Shao's father and Shao Yubo is quite artistic.However, the reason why society is called society is because there are all kinds of different voices. There are audiences who feel happy from the standpoint of Shao Yan's family, and naturally there are those who feel that Shao Yan's family should repay grievances with virtue after their scars have healed.

Many people thought that Shao's father and Shao Yubo were brothers after all, and Shao's father was still an older brother, so he should be more tolerant.Although the younger brother did something wrong in the past, he was not guilty of this. Now that he has been physically punished, no matter what, the elder brother should give him another chance.

Even though he knew that there were people guiding public opinion behind these strange voices, Father Shao was still very angry when he saw the remarks advocating his Virgin Mary once.

Father Shao couldn't be bothered by the big mouths who stood and talked without back pain, but Shao Yubo, who had been paying attention to the development of the situation, was very satisfied.He has no time to care about what kind of image he is worthy of pity in the eyes of outsiders. Now the most important thing to him is the power of Shaw Brothers. I called to inquire about his recent physical condition, this is the effect!

He had suffered enough from public opinion attacks, so he knew how much the businessmen in charge of the company were afraid of such methods.Seeing that the eldest brother's family has become more and more beautiful after Shao Yan won the championship of the international food competition, and they are constantly chattering about Yumenxi's recent development in daily exposure, but they don't even mention the embarrassment of his younger brother. The grievances made up in his own brain were suffocating, and he finally decided to take another dose of strong medicine.

He took his disability certificate to participate in the show, and publicly apologized to the eldest brother's family for what he did to Yumenxi in the past.

He really put aside his face completely. Father Shao almost went mad when he saw his younger brother crying and slurring his tongue on TV. All kinds of explanations for past mistakes made him understand the truth of inheritance distribution. Shao's father almost felt sick.

But the media obviously didn't care about this. Almost at the same time the program was broadcast, people began to call Yumenxi to ask Shao's father's response to his younger brother's move.

Shao's father then played Shenyin, and the reporters couldn't think of him at first, they only said that he was struggling with a difficult attitude, and at some point, there suddenly appeared accusations that he was too hard-hearted and disregarded brotherly affection.

Within three days at most, another round of new attacks began to be frantically hyped on the Internet.

Some people around the province A organized hundreds of long-term people to support Shao Yubo. They took to the streets, shouting slogans that disabled people are also eligible to work, and surrounded the building of the Shao Group to demonstrate.

This is really a sour and bad move, but it is so tricky that people can't fight back.

The matter shifted from Shao Yubo to the group of disabled people and immediately became complicated. Shao Yubo, who tied herself to the role of the "weak", also had a great time playing. Every day, various public welfare activities were constantly promoted. In addition to revealing his intention to return to Shao's house to continue the management work, he also kept apologizing to the elder brother's family all the time.

Shao Yan's family waited silently for the opportunity, and finally one day, Tian Fangli from the old Yumenxi store in City A called and said that the old store was full of disabled people holding banners and refusing to leave.

This is so ridiculous, even though he knew that his younger brother had made such a disgusting plan long ago, Father Shao still made himself dizzy with anger when he heard that such absurd thing really happened.

what is this! ?Force him to accept such an insincere apology?Then what?Then Shao Yubo was tied up with Yumenxi, and Yumenxi got him a bite to eat, right? !

Tian Fangli was not overwhelmed in advance, and was almost frightened to death by the sudden situation.Not long after the door opened in the morning, the door was crowded with handicapped people who came one after another. These people did not enter the store, but sat around the door of Yumenxi, holding banners and holding large-character boards.The large-character board was filled with words calling on Shao's father to forgive Shao Yubo, who had encountered difficulties before, and the banners were densely packed with accusations.Because there were too many people, the security guards in the shopping mall had nothing to do with him. The police also arrived later, and they were even more helpless against this group of handicapped people.

As soon as this incident happened, people from all walks of life were shocked, as if a scoop of cold water was poured into a hot oil pan, and noisy discussions suddenly boiled over.

The voices scolding Shao Yubo for moral kidnapping and bullying became more and more violent, but some people felt that Shao's father should hear the inner cries of the disabled and accept this younger brother who grew up together.

Shao Yan was taught by Yan Daichuan to use social software on his smartphone. Although he is not very proficient in typing, he is still able to read pictures and news.In any news community, there is a picture of Shao Yubo crying bitterly. Shao Yan stared at the snot under the man's nose in the picture, and couldn't help but frowned in disgust: "I'm so annoying, let him be like this!" Toss it, it's as disgusting as eating a fly."

Yan Daichuan is quite helpless, the most unsolvable problem in this world is those villains who don't know how to behave in secret all the time.If you don't work hard, even if someone like Shao Yubo loses power, he may not be able to behave in a peaceful manner. Instead of always being on guard against him playing tricks behind his back in the future, it is better to wipe out his reputation once, and then let him jump around again. Great, all he got was ridicule.

-

The time has come.

Shao Yubo sat at home peacefully, only waiting for the good news that the onslaught was coming.

The Shaw Group has been subjected to such a torment recently, and it is obviously beginning to be overwhelmed. Liao Hedong called several times to persuade him to rest and recuperate. Too many crooked tricks.

Shao Yubo is not afraid, what is he afraid of?The more Liaohe River is like this, the happier he is.Only those who are fierce and indifferent will rely on verbal victories to find psychological balance.

On the Yumenxi side, the patience of the elder brother's family was a bit beyond his expectation.It stands to reason that Yumenxi is not a small business now. Successful people like Shao's father should pay more attention to reputation. Shao Yubo really did not expect that he would do this for a while, and he began to be scolded. His heart is hardened, but he still doesn't see the intention of letting go.

But it won't be long before the meditation for the disabled at the old Yumenshi store will only be the beginning.How many stores does Yumenxi have in total?It couldn't be easier for cities to call out some disabled people.The police would never dare to use violence against the disabled people who were demonstrating. Of course, using violence would be even better, just to prevent Yumenxi from doing business.After the conflict has been heated to a fever pitch, let's spread the accusation that Shao Yan got the Shao family's recipe but ignored the Shao family's relatives...

People's hearts are not iron, as long as they can lose face, Shao Yubo asked himself that there is no one he can't take down.

Leaning on the sofa and taking a close look at the photo frame with the family portrait, Shao Yubo caressed the honest face of the eldest brother standing on the other side of his father in the picture, and couldn't help showing a smug smile on his face.It's a pity that the mouth is crooked, and one side can't be pulled no matter how hard it is.

Shao Yubo was not surprised that the phone rang suddenly, and it was turbulent back and forth in the silent living room.Recently, he remotely commanded various matters at home. After calculating the time, this call was probably made by an assistant who organized a sit-in for the disabled in S City.

He picked up the phone with a calm demeanor, unhurried, and although he could not speak clearly, he carried a kind of strategizing confidence that he had never had before at Shaw Brothers.

However, when he heard the unexpected news in the next second, the calculation that was still beating in his stomach was obviously shattered in an instant——

——Zhu Shilin was taken away for investigation some time ago because of a property dispute of the Shaw Group. In the end, the property dispute was not questioned, but he personally admitted that he helped Shao Yubo to forge Mr. Shao's will!

Like a bolt from the blue, Shao Yubo's blood stopped flowing when he heard the news.

No wonder!No wonder!No wonder!

No wonder Zhu Shilin didn't come to harass him for a long time!

"The news has already been broadcast! Zhu Shilin is like a mad dog. He has bitten out all those who practice justice!" The assistant on the other end of the phone who was in charge of assisting Shao Yubo in a suitable response was obviously caught off guard, and angrily looked at Shao Yubo. Yubo roared, "Zhu Shilin has confessed all the process of forging the inheritance!! Why didn't you reveal the unstable factors earlier!?! Now what should we do!!!!"

Shao Yubo's ears were ringing, but his mind was blank.

-

The scene was full of twists and turns. The disabled people sitting quietly at the gate of Yumenxi in City A have not yet retreated. The news that Shao Yubo forged Mr. Shao’s will followed closely behind, making people from all walks of life who have not recovered from the previous development Qi Qi was dumbfounded.

This is so godlike unfolding!

Many people even wondered if this was the fake news released by Yumenxi to suppress Shao Yubo, but the reality is obviously more twists and turns than the drama. The chief lawyer of the Shaw Lawyers Group was brought to investigate because of a property dispute, but it happened by accident. Shao Yubo couldn't find any irrationality in this matter.Zhu Shilin did not hide the fact that he had broken up with Shao Yubo at all, and the reason for biting Shao Yubo was also well-founded - the forged will had no effect on him anyway, Shao Yubo crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and did not care about himself who was taken away for investigation. If you don't ask, then he doesn't want to have a happy life.

The reason why Zhu Shilin opened his mouth is obviously not as simple as he said when the dog bites the dog, but who cares?

Isn't the most important thing now, the will that is suspected of forgery? !

The widespread attention to this from all walks of life made Shao Yubo panic all of a sudden. Back then, the elder brother's family had nothing to rely on, and Shao Yubo believed that they couldn't beat him, and the forgery of the will was really not very high-end.The notary department has the relationship with the wife's natal family, and there were no problems in the whole process until the will became effective.The original will has been kept at Zhu Shilin's side since then. After Shao Yubo joined the company, he was happy, so how could he have time to think about these small issues?So now that the memory about the will was laid out in his mind, Shao Yubo flipped through it casually, and there were loopholes everywhere!

What disabled person?What apology?What is putting pressure on the imperial gate seat?I can't take care of everything!

Shao Yubo frantically tried to contact Zhu Shilin, but the other party seemed to have disappeared without a word.

He stared at his big brother on the TV screen who responded to the forgery of wills mentioned by the reporter with ease. In the square inch world, the middle-aged man who hadn't seen him for a long time said "it depends on the situation", which was so indifferent that it was almost hypocritical.

As for Shao Yubo, he has not yet withdrawn from the joy of his imminent success, and now he has become a headless fly shrouded in death.
