Yang Zhesen is a food blogger, so give him something to attract attention and earn traffic.
Liu Quanquan is the director of the District Human Resources and Security Bureau. He showed him how much foreign chefs admire Chinese food culture and also provided the district with a promotional material.
In short, just do what you like.
Lu Yuan knew where he lost, but he refused to accept it.
"This is a cooking challenge. The competition is about cooking skills, not evil ways. Jiang Haokun, you can't change your speculative nature as a businessman no matter where you go. That's right, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit."
This is close to swearing.
Lin Yue was not annoyed: "World-class beauty pageants also compete in beauty, but which lady doesn't try her best to show her connotation, or inner beauty? Lu Yuan, the two words you often talk about, The first sentence is that the one who takes care of things is called the cook, and the one who teases the taste buds is the chef. The second sentence is that the kitchen is a wolf's den, right? That's the way your personality is. You can only be a self-righteous chef. Looking back at history Tivin, the humility, respect, studiousness, and self-discipline he possesses now will help him go further. It will not be difficult for him to become a master in the chef world in the future. Besides, the saying that the kitchen is a wolf's den, huh, he is full of fighting thoughts. , zero-sum game, when you stole lobsters from the kitchen of an American restaurant, if the chef at that time had not given you a chance to make up for your mistakes, would you be where you are today? If Peng Hai hadn’t tolerated you, taught you, and supported you, you would be the only one like you , you still want to marry Gan Jing? You can't even support yourself. Being a doctor requires medical ethics and medical style, and being a teacher requires a teacher's ethics. In every industry, you can learn the principles of life. The difference is that some people get better and better the more they do it. Like a human being, and some people behave more and more like ghosts, so do you think you look like a human being, or do you feel like a ghost?"
He has been holding these words in his heart for a long time. To be precise, he has wanted to complain about the TV series for a long time.
Peng Hai used his patience and kindness to help a young gangster become a chef who could act independently. What about Lu Yuan? He led the big guys, fat guys, and short guys to threaten and intimidate Cai Mingjun and teach him to fight bravely with his colleagues, and kidnapped the staff at the wedding venue for his own selfish purposes...
But think about it, a kind and tolerant person can convey a bit of warmth when interacting with everyone around him, while a snob, when looking at others, thinks about what I can get from him, and how can I get something out of him? The place of work is described as a wolf's den. The boss is king and domineering, and he always shows off his cooking skills as if he is a villain. You can imagine what kind of thing he is.
Facing his rebuttal and torture, Lu Yuan couldn't say a word, not only because the words were heart-breaking, but also because he really felt like he was a ghost, because people can't see ghosts, but he can. To Penghai.
"well said!"
Someone was clapping and whistling below.
Some people were booing and shouting at Lu Yuan: "You should answer it."
Gan Jing looked at Lu Yuan, who was speechless after being asked, and then at Jiang Haokun, who was standing next to him. His expression was as if he had met him for the first time.
Xu Li also looked intently at the man on the field who exuded the brilliance of thought and full of confidence, with some admiration and admiration on her face.
A man's focus, love, ambition, even a shooting posture or a steering wheel movement may touch a woman's heart inadvertently.
Just when Lu Yuan was hit hard, Cai Mingjun came out from behind, took the microphone and said: "Mr. Jiang is right, I don't want to lie anymore, I don't want to deceive people anymore, in fact, Chef Lu has no sense of taste, those dishes...he I was told that after I tasted it, I thought there was nothing wrong with it before serving it to the judges.”
What? !
No sense of taste?
Many people stood up and looked at the arena with stunned expressions.
This was said by Lu Yuan's assistant, and it should not be false.
Gray Whale Restaurant hired a chef with no sense of taste? This... what is this going on? What do you think of customers? Experimental product?
Several people who had dined at Gray Whale Restaurant recalled a scene that happened two days ago - the dishes were either tasteless or so heavy that they could not be swallowed. It turned out that it was not the chef who made a mistake, but that he had no sense of taste at all.
Jiang Lai also stood up, and Feng Yufang was even more panicked.
Peng Jiahe was dumbfounded. He had no idea that Cai Mingjun would give Lu Yuan a blow on such an important occasion.
Gan Jing is a person with a sense of reality. The first thing she thought of was what Lu Yuan would do in the future. In front of everyone and in front of the cameras of online media reporters, once this matter was exposed, which restaurant would dare to hire him? Basically, his career as a chef in China is equivalent to a death sentence.
Take the current pairing of Lu Yuan and Xiao Cai, the latter acts as the tongue of the former, but as Lu Yuan said, the chef is responsible for teasing the taste buds. Star-rated restaurants must regularly update recipes and launch new products. Does using someone else's tongue to test new dishes match the ideas in your head?
"Xiao Cai, why did you betray Lu Yuan? Why?"
Peng Jiahe was so angry that he threw the sunglasses in his hand, but no one was hit. Xiao Cai was so frightened that he hid behind Lin Yue.
She took out another bunch of keys from her bag and threw them on the stage.
Pa~
Lin Yue took it in his hand very easily.
"Peng Jiahe, why did Cai Mingjun betray Lu Yuan? Then why did you betray your father by treating him as a thief? If it hadn't been for him, would your father have been hit by a car? When you came back to see your grandma, your first thought was after you found out that she had Alzheimer's disease Just send her to a nursing home without dragging you down. Is this how American schools educate you?"
This question confused many people, but some viewers who had seen the news on the Internet recognized that the little girl in front of them was the little girl who had returned from overseas who was violently raped by the Internet a few days ago, and the atmosphere at the scene hit a new high.
That Chef Lu in the competition not only fooled the boss, customers, and the audience, but also killed his good friend?
"Jiahe, Jiahe, stop talking." Gan Jing pulled Peng Jiahe from behind and held him down. Now she could see that the purpose of Jiang Haokun's challenge to the Gray Whale Restaurant was not at all. If he showed his true skills in cooking, he would kick Lu Yuan to death.
"But don't worry, you won't be unemployed." At this time, Jiang Haokun spoke again, pointing to the gorgeously dressed woman in the first row of the auditorium and said: "You don't know yet, right? Gray Whale Restaurant is a property of the Jiang Group. Haven't you always been curious about the identity of the boss? Yes, he is the one who gave you this set of knives."
Lu Yuan looked over with a blank expression.
"Jiang Lai, is everything he said true?"
He asked Jiang Lai more than once why Feng Yufang behaved like a servant in front of her. How did Jiang Lai answer? He is one of the VIPs in the restaurant, a top VIP person. Of course, Feng Yufang cannot afford to offend him.
He believed it, after all, the Jiang family was indeed rich, and no businessman would offend the rich man.
But I didn't expect...
Why has he been neither salty nor indifferent to Jiang Lai? Because he has feelings for Gan Jing. Now that he knows that she is the owner of the Gray Whale Restaurant, can he continue to stay there?
Yes, Feng Yufang will not fire him, he has to nourish himself.
But besides Gray Whale, what other restaurant would hire a cook who has no sense of taste?
"Lu Yuan, listen to my explanation."
Jiang Lai became anxious and left the auditorium and ran into the arena to find Lu Yuan to explain.
She didn't expect Jiang Haokun to be so insidious. She recalled the conversation between the two in the courtyard of the Xinjing Police Station. He said that he wanted Lu Yuan to prove his identity as a loser and a loser. At the time, she thought it was a cry from a lustful person. Now it seems that he is confident. .
Bi's cooking skills were slapped in the face by Steven, and now his character is being questioned. Regarding work, he has to choose between Gan Jing and Gray Whale Restaurant.
Lu Yuan not only lost face this time, he also lost dignity.
Just when she and Lu Yuan were trying to get him to give her a chance to explain, an old woman with gray hair walked in through the side door and slapped her in the face: "You vixen, let go of my son, let him go. "
Jiang Lai was stunned. She turned her face and saw that it was the old lady running into the venue. She looked over there and saw Liu Hong, the second chef of the Reef Restaurant, blocking the side door to prevent the fat man from the Gray Whale Restaurant from entering.
The audience below was pointing and pointing, not expecting that a good cooking competition would turn into a farce.
But...it's so fucking enjoyable.
Holding a discount coupon for the reef restaurant in hand, I also got a feast for the eyes.
At this moment, Gan Jing couldn't stand it anymore and rushed to the stage and said to Lin Yue: "Jiang Haokun, that's enough! You shouldn't treat Lu Yuan like this."
"Then how should I treat him? Help him? Treat him kindly? For this so-called friend who robbed my girlfriend, smashed up my house, and sent me to a detention center for twelve days stabbed myself twice?"
Lin Yue sneered and said: "Since you have made a choice between me and him, well, I will tell you why he abandoned you and disappeared suddenly for three years when he was in the United States, as a gift for your reunion."
The arena was in chaos.
The female host was busy trying to start a fight.
Director Liu's words of advice were ignored, and he left angrily.
One of Meng Hualing and Yang Zhesen tried to pull the old lady away, and the other tried to block Jiang Lai behind them. Lu Yuan explained on the side, and Steven pushed Cai Mingjun off the stage and told him to leave the arena quickly to avoid the limelight.
An on-site staff member was holding a plate with langoustine and king crab, eating and watching the excitement.
Lin Yue and Gan Jing's small space seemed like someone pressed the stop button on a movie.
Jiang Haokun knows why Lu Yuan disappeared? Then why didn't he say it before?
"I promised not to tell you the reason at first, but now he and I are enemies rather than friends, and there is no need to keep secrets. In fact, the answer is very simple. In 2008, the United States experienced a very serious economic crisis, and he went bankrupt because of his lavish spending. , but didn’t want to sell the house, so he went to help the underworld smuggle passports. After being caught by the police, he was sentenced to two years in prison, but because he had a fight in prison, he was given an additional half-year sentence.”
Not only Gan Jing heard this.
All the audience heard it.
It turns out that this tasteless cook has committed a crime and been jailed. No wonder he returned to China to develop his career. It turns out that he can't survive there.
A luxurious western restaurant actually hired a chef with a criminal record and no sense of taste to serve customers. Does this mean that people who ate in the past were all losers with no money, no taste, and no status?
Xu Lan snorted coldly, stood up and left.
She has long seen that this Lu Yuan is not a kind person. The eldest lady of the Jiang Group is licking her face and chasing a gangster who has been in prison. This is no longer as simple as humiliating, but peeling off the skin of the Jiang family. Yeah.
She wanted to see how Jiang Zhihua, who always had a good face, would feel when he knew about this.
"Jiang Haokun!"
Lu Yuan shouted angrily and kicked him in the back from behind.
Lin Yue looked like he had eyes on his back. He turned his head sideways and stretched out his legs. He directly pushed his little eyes to the ground. There was a thud that made the ground tremble three times.
"Lu Yuan!"
Gan Jing was anxious and quickly went to check the injuries of the man who was rolling on the ground while touching the back of his head.
"So what qualifications do you have to stop Xu Li from contacting me, bitch."
He clapped his hands and left.
Lu Yuan looked for a knife everywhere and wanted to fight him desperately.
"Gan Jing, don't stop me. I'm going to chop him. You see, I won't chop him."
When things got to this point, some timid guys in the audience began to run out, fearing that the cook who had been in prison would pick up a knife and chop someone into pieces.
The online media reporters were so excited that they clicked their camera shutters wildly, hoping to take a photo of everyone.
Competition over cooking skills, family ethics, jealousy, scandals among wealthy families, physical conflicts...
Just report it to the outside world and get a hot news piece.
…
When the hotel security staff rushed to the venue after being notified by the staff, Peng Jiahe blocked Cai Mingjun, who had fled the venue, at the door of the bathroom.
"Cai Mingjun!"
She grabbed Cai Mingjun by the collar, raised her hand and hit him.
This effeminate boy didn't even think about fighting back. He blocked it with his hands and shrank his head to dodge.
"Jiahe, don't hit me. Don't hit me."
"Don't beat you? I'm going to beat you, a rip-off dog." Peng Jiahe looked as fierce as an old hen that was furious when someone took away its eggs: "Lu Yuan was so good to you, and you actually betrayed him. This is called To deceive one's master and destroy one's ancestors is to be ungrateful."
"I...I didn't."
"No? Do you still have the nerve to say you don't have it?"
Peng Jiahe wished he could tear his mouth apart.
Cai Mingjun said: "I am doing this for your own good."
"Are you doing it for my own good? Did you betray Lu Yuan for my own good?" Peng Jiahe laughed angrily. She really couldn't understand Cai Mingjun's 2B logic.
"Didn't Lei Dong not allow your mother to associate with you? Jiang Haokun said that as long as I tell the truth, he would help deal with Lei Dong and let your mother recognize you as her daughter."
Peng Jiahe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and a flash of struggle flashed across his eyes, but he quickly reacted and slapped Cai Mingjun on the head twice.
"I don't need you to help me, okay? If you do this, how will Lu Yuan find a job in the future? Which restaurant will want him?"
Cai Mingjun said: "But if I don't say it, Jiang Haokun will say it. In the face of so many people and online media cameras, how can he deny it? Anyway, it's all exposed. Using this in exchange for Lei Dong's concession, I think I That’s right.”
This sounded reasonable, but there was one thing he didn't mention, which was that Jiang Haokun threatened to tell Peng Jiahe that he was an undercover agent if he didn't do so.
"You know shit." Peng Jiahe slapped him again: "Jiang Haokun promised not to make a fuss about Lu Yuan's lack of taste. He is using you as a weapon."
"But you saw what happened just now. He even told about the chef's imprisonment. How could he keep his promise?"
"..."
Peng Jiahe was speechless and felt that what Cai Mingjun said was quite reasonable. Now that his face was so torn, Jiang Haokun really no longer needed to make a promise to Lu Yuan.
When Cai Mingjun saw that she stopped beating him, he quickly broke free and ran downstairs.
"Cai Mingjun, stop here, don't run."
…
Peng Jiahe blocked Cai Mingjun, and Xu Li waited until Lin Yue.
"Where's my mother?"
"I said I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm going to leave now."
Lin Yue said: "It's not that she's not feeling well, it's that her face has been completely humiliated by Jiang Lai."
Outsiders still don't know about Xu Lan's plan to divorce Jiang Zhihua. Now that the eldest lady of the Jiang Group is so licking a cook with a criminal record, it's strange that Xu Lan can be worried about the familiar faces at the scene.
Xu Li said: "It's not you. This is more than just publicizing the family scandal. You are afraid that the whole world will not know what Jiang Lai has done."
Lin Yue said, "Didn't I tell you? Mom plans to divorce Jiang Zhihua."
"No, is it so serious?"
She knew that Xu Lan was very angry about Jiang Lai sending Jiang Haokun to a detention center, but Gan Jing once told her that Jiang Lai also spent a week in jail for smashing up Jiang Haokun's house. The two were basically even, and she thought the relationship would ease. Some, I didn't expect... This ending is really fair.
The father stood up for his daughter, the mother stood up for her son, and the family just broke up.
"I can't figure it out. You could obviously tell Jiang Lai about Chen Fang's drug use, why would you choose such an extreme approach?"
Lin Yue said: "You also saw what happened just now. I liked a scumbag before, and now I fall in love with a gangster. No one can control her, and no one listens to her. She is already thirty years old, and she is looking for life and death all day long. Torturing her relatives and friends, if she doesn’t give her a heavy blow and let her know the cruelty of society, otherwise she will never get rid of her willful habits in her life. And some things, once they happen, can never be undone. "
"..."
Xu Li felt deeply about this, just like the last time Gan Jing asked her if she could forget her ex-husband. Even if she couldn't forget, if that man came back to look for her, there would be no possibility for the two of them to get back together.
"Since mom has decided to divorce Jiang Zhihua, today's events... can be considered a warm-up."
"What's the meaning?"
"Vaccinate the people in the group, because Jiang Haokun will go back in the near future."
Xu Li was stunned for a while before she realized. It turned out that he didn't just make the matter worse just to vent his anger, but also had long-term considerations.
"Wouldn't this... affect Jiang's Group's share price?"
"If my judgment is correct, the Hang Seng Index is about to plummet, and what I want is for Jiang's Group's stock price to plummet." Lin Yue smiled at her: "I'm in a good mood today. I'll treat you to dinner and I'll cook it myself."
Xu Li was confused by him again, until he got into the cab, honked the horn twice to wake her up, said "Okay", opened the passenger door and got in.
…
That evening.
Lin Yue arrived at the villa in MH District, parked the car and opened the door. The newly hired nanny greeted him with a smile and helped him get his shoes.
"Where's my mother?"
The nanny pointed upstairs: "On the second floor."
Lin Yue nodded slightly and went straight to the sunroom on the second floor.
Xu Lan was sitting on a wicker chair covered with a shawl and looking at the sunset.
"Why are you so anxious to call me back?"
Xu Lan pointed to a few pieces of paper placed on the tea table next to her.
Lin Yue picked it up and looked at it before his eyes, and found that it was a divorce agreement drafted by a lawyer.
"You come with me to your house tomorrow."
Go home? What are you going to do at home?
Obviously, she went to have a showdown with Jiang Zhihua. Lin Yue knew very well how she came here this afternoon. What happened in the cooking challenge made her unable to wait for a moment. She just wanted to have a showdown with Jiang Zhihua and Jiang Lai as soon as possible. Clear boundaries.
Lin Yue thought for a moment, put the divorce agreement back on the tea table, walked behind her, pressed her shoulders and squeezed, facing the sky: "Wait for two more days."
Xu Lan tilted her head, stared at his side face and asked, "Why?"
