After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

"Mr. Sun, are you still going to the banquet for twelve people tomorrow?"

When Sun Dongming was watering the flowers at home, his assistant came over and asked.

Although he is a top chef, he likes to have his assistants call him Mr. Sun.

"When was the last time you came?"

"The last time you did it was a week ago."

the assistant replied.

"Then I won't go this time."

"Ok."

After the assistant left, Sun Dongming looked at his flowers with satisfaction.

"If you want the flowers to grow well, you can't water them every day."

Putting down the shower in his hand, Sun Dongming came to sit on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.

His daily schedule is fairly regular, including watering plants, walking, socializing, reading the news, and cooking.

Although he rarely researches new dishes, he cannot leave behind some of his specialty dishes.

Sun Dongming still knows what he relied on to achieve his current status.

I pressed the remote control in my hand, and suddenly, a cooking scene appeared in front of my eyes.

As a top chef and living in Yanzhou, there are not hundreds but dozens of cooking programs on TV every day.

But this time, Sun Dongming did not jump away.

"This filming team is quite capable."

Putting down the remote control, Sun Dongming started watching this program.

Although it is viewed from the middle, it does not affect the overall look and feel.

When the last song played, Sun Dongming couldn't help but feel sad for a while.

"The quality of the program is good, but the cooking techniques are too rough, which is at the level of an ordinary roadside restaurant, not even a junior chef."

Sun Dongming secretly said a pity and picked up the remote control again.

But when he jumped to the official Yanzhou channel again, he was stunned.

Because at this time, the content being explained on the news on the official channel was exactly that of the program he just watched.

"With a thousand hands, there are a thousand flavors..."

""Yanzhou on the Bite of the Tongue" shows the most authentic and simple side of our Yanzhou..."

"When chefs are pursuing the pinnacle of culinary skills, they should not forget the original appearance of it. Don't forget that food is for people to eat, not for marketing or to increase one's worth..."

Listening to what the host said, Sun Dongming felt his ears ringing.

"What are you doing? What is this host talking about!"

Sun Dongming's face flushed.

"What is the original look? What is marketing? What is raising one's worth? When you talk like this, can you be responsible!"

The host didn't mention any specific person's name, but he pointed to him, Sun Dongming.

Among the top chefs, besides him, who else can bear such an evaluation?

On weekdays, Sun Dongming doesn't care even if his fellow netizens say it.

But now, Yanzhou news has said it, and he doesn't want to care, but does he dare?
After all, he is just a cook!
Suddenly, Sun Dongming thought of something and immediately took out his mobile phone and called his assistant.

"Tomorrow's dinner will not be cancelled, it will be business as usual! Any banquets that have been sold after that will not be cancelled!"

After chatting with his assistant, Sun Dongming called several internal staff he knew, but the people he had chatted with before spoke very officially this time.

Even when he asked about the topic "Yanzhou on the Bite of the Tongue", the other party didn't want to talk about it at all, which made Sun Dongming feel something bad in his heart.

After thinking about it, he still called the super chef who had the highest status among the super chefs but whom he didn't like to interact with.

"Mr. Yan, how are you lately?"

Before Sun Dongming finished his greetings, words that made his heart palpitate came from the other end of the phone.

"Sun Dongming, if you have nothing to do, go online and keep pace with the times. Also, in a week, the Chefs Association will announce your ban, that's it."

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Sun Dongming's face turned ashen.

Why did it suddenly become like this?
"Seal the spoon? I won't seal it! What can you do to me!"

Sun Dongming's dumbfounded face suddenly turned ferocious.

Then, he thought about the Internet mentioned by Yan Mingzhou.

After calling his assistant, Sun Dongming asked his assistant to show him what was being discussed on the Internet.

After listening to Sun Dongming's words, the assistant directly opened the hot search.

After seeing the topics on the hot search rankings, his expression changed.

Although Sun Dongming doesn't know how to surf the Internet, he can read!
On the hot search rankings, the words 'Sun Dongming is not worthy of being a special chef' stung his eyes.

"Give me, show me what they are talking about!"

The assistant carefully clicked on the topic, and not long after flipping through it, Sun Dongming passed out without saying a word.

While the assistant was busy, the comments on the Internet did not stop at all.

……

"The day finally comes! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Sun Dongming, are you going to die?"

"It seems that there is a big feud with Sun Dongming upstairs! But it doesn't matter. Sun Dongming has many enemies, including you."

"No, how could Sun Dongming offend so many people? Isn't he just a chef?"

"It's true that he is a chef, but he is one of the most influential chefs in Yanzhou. He once served as a director of the Chefs Association. Many mid-level and senior chefs who could not understand his way of doing things were crowded out by him. You said, Is he hateful?"

"And his banquet for twelve people. I have never heard of when to eat. He also bet on the blind box and spent a lot of money to eat, but in the end he still couldn't eat?"

"Haha, the most ridiculous thing is that if you don't eat, he won't refund the money, and will also give you the privilege of purchasing the next meal first. It's so funny. Fortunately, I don't have any money."

"..."

"Then why didn't anyone talk about him before?"

"Haha, kid, you are still young. You will know after a few more years of class."

This is a topic about Sun Dongming. All the negative information and negative points about Sun Dongming in the past have been brought out.

Some people who came just because of the topic of "A Bite of Yanzhou" contributed their own saliva after reading Sun Dongming's resume.

Compared with Sun Dongming, another topic on the hot search is also quite lively.

This topic is called [Nanny, grandma calls you home for dinner]!
"By the way, who is Nannan? If I knew who Nannan was, I would give her money and let her go home and have a meal from grandma."

"Hey, what you see is Nannan, but what I see is countless cows and horses beating workers. Nannan and grandma can go there, but where do the other cows and horses go when they are sad?"

"Stop talking, I don't admit it! You're not talking about me! Woohoo~"

……

An architectural design company.

"Hey, I also want to go home and eat grandma's cooking."

Zhong Sijia was secretly looking at the trending searches on her office computer and couldn't help but sigh.

But her words received no response.

Zhong Sijia turned her head and looked at Liao Qingxiu who was still busy drawing design drawings. She couldn't help but persuade her: "Xiuxiu, you are working too hard every day."

After Liao Qingxiu marked a location, he took the time to reply:
"I'm just doing something I like, and it happens to be my job, so in your opinion I work very hard, but to me, it's not as painful as you think."

Zhong Sijia rolled her eyes.

"It's a pity that you don't want to be a life coach. I've almost been brainwashed by you."

Liao Qingxiu smiled.

"I'm not brainwashing you. If a job where you can make money just by eating delicious food is placed in front of you, you will be like me."

"Huh? How did you know I wanted to be a mukbang?"

Zhong Sijia was startled, then quietly leaned over and said, "Xiuxiu, let me tell you, I just had an idea before, but now I might really do it."

Liao Qingxiu turned her head in surprise.

"You're not going to work?"

"Of course not." Zhong Sijia waved her hand, "I do it after get off work and on holidays."

"I watched "A Bite of Yanzhou" yesterday, and I realized that my previous idea was wrong. Only chefs certified by the Chefs Association can cook good meals."

Hearing what Zhong Sijia said, Liao Qingxiu thought of something and nodded in agreement. "You think so, right? That's why I've been looking for those delicacies hidden in the streets since this weekend! Xiu Xiu, will you join me? Be a...store explorer!"

Liao Qingxiu smiled and shook his head.

"No, I still have to go to class."

Zhong Sijia shook her head regretfully and did not try to persuade her. She knew how hard Liao Qingxiu worked, and they obviously entered the company together.

They were all newcomers at the time, but Liao Qingxiu is now able to take charge of individual projects, and she still needs to work with others to complete the work.

But Zhong Sijia did not envy Liao Qingxiu at all.

In Liao Qingxiu, Zhong Sijia learned for the first time that people who work hard are worthy of the goodwill of the world.

"Okay, by the way, when you have dinner tonight, remember to watch "Yanzhou on the Bite of the Tongue" for special dinner!"

Liao Qingxiu nodded and continued busy.

9 pm.

Liao Qingxiu, who finally finished the design drawing, let out a breath and smiled on his face.

After taking a look at the time, Liao Qingxiu put away her things and placed an order for takeout.

She lives near the company.

Walking back, the takeaway was just delivered.

While eating in the room, Liao Qingxiu thought of the dinner drama Zhong Sijia talked about today, so she took out her tablet, searched it out, and clicked play.

Later, she ate, listened to the show, and read the messages on her phone.

Listening to programs is Liao Qingxiu's own way of relieving loneliness.

Only in this way will the empty rental house not be so deserted.

Just after taking two bites of rice, Liao Qingxiu frowned.

Customers actually have new demands!

With this new addition, her design drawings have undergone major changes!

Liao Qingxiu argued with the customer angrily, and finally threw the phone away and didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.

"call……"

After exhaling the turbid air in his chest, Liao Qingxiu continued to eat the food that had become cold.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?"

"Haha, I didn't see anything. My daughter used to run back from the path over there every meal time."

The familiar voice stopped Liao Qingxiu's eating movements.

Turning his head suddenly and looking at the familiar profile in the video, Liao Qingxiu looked blank.

Grandma, why are you in the video?

Liao Qingxiu's head was a little down.

"Grandma, what is your dream?"

"I don't have any dreams...if I do, my dream is that my daughter can realize her dream."

When grandma said these words about dreams, the tears in Liao Qingxiu's eyes couldn't stop flowing down.

Liao Qingxiu reached out to wipe it, but couldn't wipe it clean.

Just then, singing started.

……

Nanny, you will be confused

Don’t forget to walk slower

Slowly you will understand what is missing
The path of life is a choice between gains and losses.

When I get lost, I think about what my grandma said back then.
……

It's been a long time since the show ended, and the tears on Liao Qingxiu's face have dried up, but her heart has not calmed down for a long time.

"Am I pursuing my dream these years?"

Liao Qingxiu asked herself.

If dreams are made of grandma’s thoughts.

So, is it worth it?
Liao Qingxiu made a decision in her heart, picked up her phone and sent a text to the customer.

"It can be changed, but the delivery time will be extended. If you agree, then continue to cooperate. If not, I will hand over the project to others."

Liao Qingxiu didn't have to wait for long before there was a reply from the customer.

"I understand. Your design concept is in line with my requirements. The time can be extended. Happy cooperation."

Liao Qingxiu smiled.

After asking for leave from her boss, she started packing her things.

Suddenly, she moved the video to the last song.

……

look back
after the rain
less indifferent
Come on, grandma, I'll wait for you while you're still in the village.

……

Tianyu Yanzhou Branch.

Today, Tantai Taigui was very busy. He was so busy that he answered 10 calls in an hour.

But after every call he hung up, he had a smile on his face.

Just when another call came in, the door of Tantai Taigui's office was knocked open by his assistant.

"General Manager, Consultant Chen is here."

With one word, Tantai Taigui lifted his finger from the answer button.

Throwing the phone on the table, Tantai Taigui smiled and walked over to welcome Chen Shuren and others in.

"Brother Shu, you are here."

Tang Yingcheng shook his head in his heart when he heard Tantai Taigui saying "Brother Shu".

It seems that no one can withstand Chen Shuren's sugar-coated bullets.

Basically, in every branch that Chen Shuren has been to, after Chen Shuren leaves, the title will change from 'Mr. Chen', 'Director Chen', 'Consultant Chen' to the unified 'Brother Shu'!
Oh, no, not only did the general manager of the Jingzhou branch not change his title, he also had very little communication with Chen Shuren.

Therefore, the Jingzhou branch is still half-dead.

While Tang Yingcheng was laughing, Chen Shuren was already chatting with Tantai Taigui.

"Manager Tantai, our affairs in Yanzhou are almost over. We are going to leave tomorrow. Come and say hello to you."

"Huh? Let's go? We can't go!"

Tantai Taigui looked confused, and then hurriedly blocked the way.

"Huh? Why?"

Chen Shuren was also surprised. All the program content had been completed, and all that was left was to play one episode after another.

"It's like this. I received a lot of calls today. Most of them invited you to dinner, but I didn't agree to it. But for one of them, I think Brother Shu, you can go."

"Huh? Who?"

Chen Shuren was curious, seeing that Tantai was too expensive, this phone call was of great importance.

"Yan Mingzhou! President of the Yanzhou Chefs Association!"

Seeing that Chen Shuren didn't respond, Tantai Taigui continued.

"At the same time, he is also a special chef, and this invitation is not just about eating, but also about something to witness."

"what's up?"

"Sun Dongming's spoon sealing ceremony, he will never cook again."

Tantai Taigui smiled brightly.

Never before has Tantai Taigui felt so happy.

Could it be that this is the slap in the face mentioned in Shuang's article?

If so, that would be...so cool.
