As a chef, a top-notch chef, how could Chu Xiao give up so easily? he opened his mouth again,”Actually, this invitation is just like how some celebrities invite guest actors, and the chefs helped are not counted in the satisfaction survey. If you don’t think it’s a little strange,” said Wang Yao.
Chu Xiao said it very clearly this time. Moreover, he even had a faint idea of relieving Yuan Zhou’s worries. He was afraid that Yuan Zhou didn’t know that the chef he invited was not included in the satisfaction survey.
“Yes, but a personal cooking exhibition naturally means a single person.” Yuan Zhou said.
“…” Chu Xiao was speechless in his heart, but he still maintained his pride on the surface and said,””That’s true. Actually, I didn’t invite anyone else back then. ”
“This is more like it.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
“Um … Yes.” Chu Xiao nodded and didn’t know what to say for a while. After a pause, he continued, “That’s it then. If there’s anything you need, come find me. ”
“Alright, goodbye.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said goodbye to her.
Chu Xiao didn’t stay for long this time. After all, he had made an appointment to meet some people in the hotel. These people were all big shots in the cooking world.
However, when he walked to the door, he stopped again and said with his back facing Yuan Zhou,””I brought kitchenware,”
“Yes, thank you.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
“No, I hope I can use it.” Chu Xiao smiled and then left quickly. He went straight to the hotel provided by Wu Yungui.
The distance between the hotel and Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was about 10 minutes by walking. The place where the personal cooking exhibition was held was even closer, about 7 or 8 minutes.
Yuan Zhou watched Chu Xiao leave. Before he could enter the restaurant, he was stopped by someone. It was none other than Wu Hai and boss Zong who sold antiques. The two of them arrived together.
“What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou turned his head and asked the two of them.
“I have a few new paintings for you to set up the venue.” Wu Hai never beat around the bush. While stroking his small mustaches, he said straightforwardly.
“I also have a few bottles and jars that are suitable for this occasion. You can display them.” Zong mo also said with a smile.
“I’m not in charge of the venue’s decorations. ” Yuan Zhou looked at the two of them and said.
“Yes, we know. We just want to inform you, boss Yuan. We have to let you know about this matter.” Zong mo said.
“That’s right. ” Wu Hai nodded his head.
“Yes, thank you.” Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod and didn’t refuse.
After all, these two people came to help him sincerely. Yuan Zhou naturally wouldn’t refuse them.
“We’ll go and contact Zhong Lili now. ” Zong mo said.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it.
At the side, Wu Hai suddenly opened his mouth,””Actually, you can rest for two days and do your best to prepare for the cooking exhibition two days later.”
Looking at Wu Hai’s serious manner, Yuan Zhou said without changing his expression,””I’m resting and you’re hungry?”
“No, I can come and supervise you while you eat.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches above his lips and said solemnly.
Yuan Zhou was speechless.
“You’re too sinister. But please count me in. I was a Disciplinary Committee member in elementary school and I’m very principled.” Zong Mo’s smiling face also disappeared as he solemnly spoke.
“No need. I’m well prepared. I won’t close the restaurant.” Yuan Zhou said.
“That’s a bit of a pity. ” Zong mo spread his hands.
At the side, Wu Hai also nodded his head to express his regret. He was still looking forward to supervising Yuan Zhou to eat and then freeloading on the way.
According to Yuan Zhou’s strict style, he would definitely practice cooking all day long if he wanted to practice cooking. Wu Hai indicated that he could accept all the dishes that he had practiced and didn’t need to trouble broth or the trash can.
“I’ll close my restaurant for four days when the cooking exhibition is held. ” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help wanting to raise his eyebrows, but he held himself back and said lightly.
“Fortunately, I have an invitation.” Wu Hai heaved a sigh of relief and then said with relief.
“Fortunately, I have a work permit.” Zong mo also rejoiced and said.
That’s right. Other than the invitation card, one could also enter the exhibition with a work pass. It was unknown where Zong mo had gotten his work pass from, so he could enter as well.
“I’m going back. ” Yuan Zhou didn’t want to stay with these two idiots for too long. He prepared to go back and continue practicing his cooking skills. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Zong mo and Wu Hai didn’t say anything to persuade him to stay. Instead, they tacitly went back to prepare the paintings and antiques to be hung at the venue.
The new painting that Wu Hai mentioned was really a new painting. It was the kind that had not been exhibited yet. The value was enough, not to mention the sincerity. As for the antique that was suitable for the banquet that Zong mo mentioned, it was naturally very expensive.
About an hour after Chu Xiao left, Zhou Shijie came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant with three other people while Yuan Zhou was practicing his cooking skills.
“Uncle Zhou?” Yuan Zhou stood up, washed his hands and said.
“Little Yuan, I’m here today to introduce you to some people.” Zhou Shijie turned his body sideways smilingly, allowing the three people to enter Yuan Zhou’s sight.
The one on the far left was about 40 years old, tall and straight. Although he was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and long pants, he looked like a soldier.
The middle-aged man looked about the same age, but his body was fair and chubby. He was also wearing an ordinary shirt, black suit pants, and leather shoes. He had a smile on his face and looked more friendly.
The one on the right was the fattest of the three, wearing glasses. He had a big belly, but he looked more serious than the soldier on the left.
Zhou Shijie started to introduce the left-most one directly,””This is Deputy Chief Wu from Chengdu’s Bureau of Transportation.”
“Nice to meet you, boss Yuan. The transportation work of this culinary exhibition will be fully coordinated by our Chengdu city’s Transportation Bureau.” Deputy Chief Wu greeted him sternly and then said.
“Hello, thank you.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Then, Zhou Shijie started to introduce the man in the middle who looked the most kind,””This is Deputy Chief Liu of the Public Security Bureau of Chengdu City.”
“Boss Yuan, you’re really something. We have raised the security level of your cooking exhibition to 2s level. You’re really something.” Deputy bureau chief Liu even made a gesture of two as he spoke, the surprise on his face unconcealed.
“I’m sorry to trouble you,” Although Yuan Zhou was puzzled in his heart, he could only say courteously since it wasn’t the time to ask.
“This is the Executive Vice President of the People’s Hospital of the third city, which is the closest to our Taoxi road.” Zhou Shijie pointed at the fattest and most serious fatty and said.
“Hello, boss Yuan,” Dean Chang was indeed serious and did not talk much.
“Hello, Dean Chang.” Yuan Zhou was even more confused, but he still greeted her seriously.
Yuan Zhou wasn’t totally confused. First of all, the Public Security Bureau had said that the banquet had been upgraded to the 2s class. However, the number of people attending the 3s class national banquet was much more than that. He remembered that Zhou Shijie had said that he had applied for the 3a class banquet. But now, it had been upgraded by two levels.
In the past, the traffic Department had assigned manpower to take charge of the traffic on Taoxi road, but this was the first time the director had come in person.
Not to mention the mysterious director of the third municipal People’s Hospital. What was he here for?
