Chapter 1591: The cold-hearted Chairman Zhou
Zhou Shijie was just a little stunned when he saw these chefs. Then, he came back to his senses under Liao Yue’s anxious gaze.
“Everyone, please take a seat.” Zhou Shijie reached out his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down. He appeared to be very peaceful.
“Chairman Zhou, you’ve agreed?” Dashi xiujie was the first to react and asked with surprise.
Dashi xiujie couldn’t be blamed for being excited, because Zhou Shijie’s face carried a faint smile and didn’t look very serious.
“Although you guys came in a hurry, I asked President Yuan for his opinion before you said you were coming.” Zhou Shijie didn’t answer dashi xiujie’s question immediately. Instead, he changed the topic.
The green Chef society had a translator. She was the leader of the customer service team, little Zhao. She translated Zhou Shijie’s words into English word by word for everyone.
Therefore, when they heard that Zhou Shijie went to ask Yuan Zhou personally, they all became nervous at the same time. They stared at Zhou Shijie’s mouth with burning eyes, waiting to hear the next sentence.
“President Yuan has agreed to your proposal after serious consideration, but he has a request.” Zhou Shijie looked at the people in the meeting and said with a smile.
“What request? we have no problem with any of head chef Yuan’s requests,” the man said. Dashi xiujie looked at everyone and then stood up.
“It’s very simple. Just like Mr. Oishi said, President Yuan is a person who pays a lot of attention to rules. Since he has already decided on it, he will not change it. However, in view of everyone’s enthusiasm for participating, he agreed to this special invitation.” Zhou Shijie explained in detail.
“I should.” Dashi xiujie nodded his head and agreed with Yuan Zhou’s way of doing things.
“However, each country can only have one invitation, including China.” Zhou Shijie said.
“One?” Dashi xiujie was surprised and asked.
“Yes, only one.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head.
“Since it’s head chef Yuan’s idea, we understand.” Dashi xiujie muttered to himself for a while and then nodded his head in agreement.
The remaining chefs, sucha and the others, nodded in agreement.
“Since everyone has agreed, all the countries only need to submit the special invitation to the chefs of each country before the registration deadline.” “Of course. You can’t exceed the age of 45 as stated by the United States of America,” Zhou Shijie said.
The meaning was clear. As long as the person was below the age of forty-five, they did not care who the special invitation was.
“Alright. Thank you, head chef Yuan. Thank you, Chairman Zhou. Thank you, Vice-President Liao.” Dashi xiujie stood up and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. You’ve all come from afar, so you’re all our guests. ” Zhou Shijie said.
The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then those who participated in the Alliance couldn’t wait to leave. After all, they had received the invitation, but there was only one, so they had to return to their respective countries to have a friendly discussion to decide who would participate.
Under such circumstances, he naturally had no intention of staying any longer.
The menacing meeting ended perfectly under such circumstances.
However, Liao Yue immediately asked,”Chairman Zhou, who’s going to decide on the invitation for Huaxia?”
“Isn’t that simple? we just have to hold a small meeting with the Presidents of the various provinces and everyone will vote for their votes.” Zhou Shijie said straightforwardly.
“Alright, I’ll send out the notice now.” Liao Yue nodded.
“Well, that’s it then.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head and then turned around to leave. He went directly to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant on the way and prepared to have dinner there.
After all, the meeting didn’t seem to have been going on for long, but it was already past fouro’ clock, so it was almost time to line up.
When Zhou Shijie arrived, as expected, he met that silly son of his who was sticking to Wu Hai.
At that moment, he really didn’t want to admit that the person fawning on Wu Hai was his son. Therefore, he just went to line up silently and didn’t pay any attention to him.
Because of this, Zhou Xi didn’t realize that his father had also come to the restaurant for dinner tonight until the first batch of people entered the restaurant.
“Dad, you’re here too.” Zhou Xi greeted him enthusiastically. He ignored Zhou Shijie’s eyes, which indicated that he wanted to draw a clear line between them, and directly dragged him to sit beside him.
Of course, Wu Hai was sitting on the other side of Zhou Xi.
“I’m here to see little Yuan,” Zhou Shijie said to his son with a straight face.
“Uncle Zhou,” Yuan Zhou greeted,
“Yes, the matter of the invitation slots has been confirmed. The rest is up to them.” Zhou Shijie said.
“I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“What’s the trouble? this is what I should do. ” Zhou Shijie said kindly.
“What would you like to eat today?” Yuan Zhou knew that Zhou Shijie didn’t like him treating him as an outsider, so he changed the subject and asked.
“Order some of your new Jiangsu dishes so I can show off to old hang.” While saying that, Zhou Shijie ordered two Huaiyang dishes.
“Dad, I think you should treat me to a meal today.” After Zhou Shijie finished ordering, Zhou Xi, who was at the side, spoke sneakily.
“Hmph, not only are you filial to your father, you even want an old man like me to treat you to a meal. I think you should just eat your own face.” Zhou Shijie didn’t show Zhou Xi a good face and said directly.
“No, no, no. I’ve done something big recently. You’ll definitely praise me and be willing to pay for the all-fish banquet.” Zhou Xi said.
“An all-fish banquet? you might as well go to heaven.” Zhou Shijie was so angry that he almost pulled off his own beard.
“I signed up for the young chefs ‘exchange meeting held by boss Yuan.” Zhou Xi directly ignored his father’s ridicule and said proudly.
“What?” This time, Zhou Shijie had really pulled off his own beard by accident.
“I’ve signed up for the young chef’s exchange meeting,” Zhou Xi said complacently.
“What, you’ve decided to inherit your old man’s mantle?” Zhou Shijie said, pretending to be calm.
“Hehe.” Zhou Xi touched his head and smiled, but he didn’t answer.
“Even if you sign up, you might not be able to pass. You’d better not embarrass yourself with your lame cat’s skills.” Zhou Shijie glanced at Zhou Xi and paused for a moment before he said,””I might as well go home and read my notes. I’ll learn more before I start.”
Although Zhou Shijie said he didn’t care, he was actually very concerned about Zhou Xi’s registration.
“No need, no need. I’m just going to broaden my horizons.” Zhou Xi looked at Wu Hai who was waiting for his meal earnestly at the side and said with embarrassment.
“You Rascal, every day you…” Zhou Shijie was about to start scolding Zhou Xi again when he saw Zhou Xi’s not-so-serious look. At this time, Jiang Changxi spoke.
“Uncle Zhou, don’t count on him to learn cooking. He signed up for the crow beasts.” Jiang Changxi said straightforwardly.
“For Wu Hai?” Zhou Shijie didn’t react for a moment and asked back subconsciously.
“In order to get closer to their idol, children like to do this.” Jiang Changxi nodded her head.
“Hehe, Sister Jiang knows me well.” Zhou Xi patted his chest and automatically ignored the following remarks about children. The key problem was that if he didn’t ignore them, he wouldn’t dare to go against the Queen.
“…” Zhou Shijie indicated that he didn’t want to speak. He was seriously considering the possibility of stuffing his son back.
