Chapter 1555: The end of the first day
Chu Xiao was the only designated opponent of Yuan Zhou!
Well, this title was given by Chu Xiao himself without the consent of the owner.
However, Chu Xiao said bluntly that he was the most qualified person in the current chef’s Association to challenge Yuan Zhou. Who else could it be?
However, there were always two young France chefs wandering around Yuan Zhou’s restaurant recently, which made Chu Xiao vigilant. There were always some unruly people who wanted to snatch his position as the number one challenger.
“Chu, Chu, Chu.” Chu Xiao only came back to his senses after Auguste called him a few times.
“What?” “What’s wrong?”Chu Xiao looked at Auguste and asked.
“I called you several times just now, but you didn’t answer. Do you have any thoughts about head chef Yuan’s cooking skills?” Auguste thought that Chu Xiao was struck by Yuan Zhou’s superb cooking skills.
After all, Auguste knew that Chu Xiao had never encountered any setbacks since he started traveling in France. Foreigners were really imaginative.
“I know his cooking best. That’s why I said at the beginning that he would break the record of the exhibition.” Chu Qi said.
After that, the two didn’t talk further, because Yuan Zhou’s delicacies were the most important today.
Spring, summer, autumn and winter were the Four Seasons. Yuan Zhou wanted to experience the rebirth of spring on the first day. Therefore, the first day could be said to be very wonderful.
“It’s worth it to be thick-skinned and get an invitation.” This was Fujiwara.
“I wonder when the next exhibition will be.” This was the thought of the Vice-President of Vietnam. Before this was over, he was already thinking about the next time.
“In the future, when we talk about cooperation with China, we must add a supplementary condition. China will help to train their chefs. The requirements are not high. It will be enough as long as they have 50% of head chef Yuan’s skills.” This was the strong thought that emerged in the heart of the Laos political leader.
“I’m a little envious of the group of people at the Australian Embassy in China. They can eat it every day. It’s really unfair.” The Australia politicians were jealous.
What he didn’t know was that no one in the Asia-Pacific countries had been to the Embassy. After all, they had to line up and the embassies were usually in Beijing.
Of course, after this exhibition, the reputation of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in the Embassy would be spread and a wave of ambassadors from the Asia-Pacific countries would be welcomed. However, this was a story for the future and not mentioned for the time being.
The first day of the exchange meeting ended successfully with many people having different thoughts.
Although they had different thoughts, everyone’s current mood was the same, they still wanted more!
He felt like he had only eaten a few mouthfuls, so how could it be over?
The first day went smoothly. The logistics and medical department did not take action. An hour before the end of the day, the Transportation Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already begun to take action.
The former had to ensure traffic flow, while the latter had the translators with them. The vehicles were also ready.
“Phew, it’s finally over. Even if master isn’t tired, I’m tired just by looking at him.” Master Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
“You’ve eaten little Yuan’s food, so hurry up and help little Yuan. “
With Zhou Shijie’s reminder, Lee Yanyi and Zhang Yan also started to see the guests off. The first batch of guests were, of course, the foreign dignitaries.
The second batch was made up of chefs from all over the world, followed by the terrible state of the central TV reporters.
Why did he say it was too horrible to look at? just like what Xiao Ye had said, pairs of eyes could only look on. Usually, this would only be found on extremely hungry wolves in the wilderness.
The crowd left in an orderly manner. As more and more people left, the banquet hall gradually became empty. However, Yuan Zhou still stood in the open kitchen with his back straight and maintained the posture of seeing the guests off.
However, at that time, a middle-aged man in a dark blue suit with his hair combed back came to Yin ya with unhurried steps.
“Hello, may I have a word with you in private?” The middle-aged man first nodded to Yuan Zhou to show his acknowledgment and then lowered his head and said to Yin ya gently.
“Wait a moment.” Yin ya answered him politely. Just when she was about to turn her head and ask Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou spoke first.
“Go on.” Yuan Zhou nodded to Yin ya and said.
Yuan Zhou knew this person. He had been following Minister Kuang since the beginning. Obviously, he was the head of the translators sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“Yes.” Yin ya looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly and then looked at the man in front of her calmly.
“Please follow me.” The middle-aged man said gently and then led Yin ya to the door.
Yin ya was dressed in the Han Chinese traditional clothing. The way she walked was a little like Yuan Zhou. Her back was straight and her head was raised up, giving her an imposing manner.
The two of them came to the door very quickly. At this time, there was no one in the banquet hall. Even master Cheng had gone backstage to arrange for people to clean up the banquet hall. Therefore, it was still very quiet by the door.
“Hello, Madam Yin. I’m ding Guozhen, and I’m from the Foreign Affairs Department.” The middle-aged man introduced himself.
“Hello, I’m yin ya.” Yin ya introduced herself simply.
“Yes, I know who Madam Yin is. Your translation this year was brilliant and accurate. Some professional cooking vocabulary was very clever.” Ding Guozhen nodded and said with admiration.
“Thank you,” he said. Yin ya lowered her head and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. I want to ask which university did Madam Yin ya graduate from?” Although ding Guozhen’s question was a bit sudden, his tone was very gentle and kind.
“I graduated from the Department of Business Administration at Rong University.” The University that Yin ya reported was also a first-class college.
“It’s still pretty good. To be able to translate it so accurately even though you’re not specialized in the right field, it shows that Madam Yin is quite talented in languages. I wonder if Madam Yin ya has any intention of joining our translation department. Of course, even with my recommendation, you still have to pass the review. ” Ding Guozhen said.
Although Yin ya had already prepared herself mentally when she heard the self-introduction of this person, she didn’t expect that this person would recommend her directly.
One must know that it was naturally very good to be able to work there. It was like winning the lottery.
However, Yin ya didn’t answer ding Guozhen immediately. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Yuan Zhou who was standing there with his back straight.
Ding Guozhen naturally saw Yin ya’s gaze, but he obviously misunderstood her. He said,”Madam Yin, please don’t misunderstand. I’m not inviting you because of head chef Yuan. Although head chef Yuan is very good and is known as the best Chef in the country, I’m only interested in your translation skills, Madam Yin.”
I know. Thank you, Mr. Ding. I’m just seriously considering your opinion.” Yin ya didn’t explain but just said with embarrassment.
“It’s okay, I’m more than happy to wait for your answer, Madam Yin. You can tell me after the exhibition is over. ” Ding Guozhen nodded.
“I think I’m done.” Yin ya shook her head and said.
“So fast?” Ding Guozhen was a little surprised.
“Yes. Actually, my current job is also very good.” Yin ya said with a smile.
“Of course, that’s how outstanding people are.” Ding Guozhen nodded in agreement.
“So, I’m sorry, Mr. Ding. I think I might have to reject your offer.” Yin ya said with an appropriate smile.
“Alright, it’s a pity, but it’s okay.” Ding Guozhen was a little surprised, but he quickly hid his surprise and said with a smile.
“Thank you, Mr. Ding, for your recognition of my translation. Actually, I’m still far from it. My English is only slightly better, but I’m not really a professional or proficient in simultaneous translation. I know my own limitations.” Yin ya explained her reason with a smile.
Being good in English and simultaneous translation or translation were three completely different concepts. Just like what Yin ya had said, although her English was not bad and she could translate some books, she was completely unfamiliar with simultaneous interpretation.
It was also for Yuan Zhou’s sake that she worked so hard this time. It could be said that she had been practicing her mouth movement in front of the mirror for a long time. During this period of time, she didn’t sleep much more than Yuan Zhou.
As a matter of fact, there was another hidden reason that Yin ya didn’t mention, which was that she only wanted to do simultaneous interpretation for Yuan Zhou.
“You’re too humble. Madam Yin, you actually have the talent. ” Ding Guozhen said.
“No, I’m doing this because of him.” Yin ya turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile.
“Alright, I understand.” Ding Guozhen nodded with a smile.
“Yes, thank you for your invitation, Mr. Ding.” Yin ya expressed her thanks again.
“You’re welcome, but if Madam Yin wants to develop in the field of simultaneous interpretation next time, you can come to me. ” “I can reserve a recommendation for Madam Yin,” ding Guozhen said after a pause.
“Thank you so much.” Yin ya took ding Guozhen’s business card with both hands and bowed to thank him.
“You’re welcome. I won’t disturb your rest then. ” Ding Guozhen waved his hand and then walked straight ahead.
