Chapter 602 Going Home
"I don't need money." Sun Mei said.

"Ah, but Xiaomei, you still haven't completed your studies in France. You still have one year of postgraduate study." Qiu Lele at the side reminded in a low voice.

"I can also take a leave of absence," Sun Mei said, "or just drop out. I don't have much talent for painting anyway."

"Ah, but you don't have a place to live in City B." Qiu Lele was still making his last effort.

"I have no problem with sleeping in a restaurant." Sun Mei said nonchalantly.

"No, I have a problem. My restaurant doesn't allow people to stay at night." Malu said firmly.

"Then I'll go find a house to rent outside. It's not a difficult task."

"No matter what you say, it can't change the reality that my kitchen is already full of people." Malu said.

Sun Mei was silent for a few seconds, then spoke again, "Then I'll be a waiter. Anyway, just give me a chance to stay by your side and observe and learn how you cook from a close distance."

"But I don't cook normally." Malu spread his hands.

"........."

Sun He's face darkened. "Let's talk about your two matters in private later. We're still giving awards now."

"Ok."

Sun He presented the third place trophy to Luo Junkang, briefly congratulated him, and then announced the official end of the Asian region of this year's MasterChef Contest.

Malu was immediately surrounded by reporters, with cameras pointed at him.

"Chef Malu, I'm Song Sisi, a reporter from Sanya TV. Congratulations on your victory. You must be very excited to win the Asian championship of the MasterChef Contest."

"No," Malu said into the microphone, "I knew I would win before I participated in the competition, but I am still very happy to get the prize money."

"Ah, so have you thought about how to spend your bonus after you get it?"

"Yes, I just placed an order for a TV worth 100 million."

"This……"

Song Sisi had never met this kind of interviewee before and didn't know how to continue asking questions.

However, she couldn't think of any questions and there were other reporters waiting to interview her. Soon, another Korean reporter spoke in broken Chinese.

"Hello, Chef Malu, I'm a reporter from MBC-TV. You used an underhanded move to eliminate Chef Choi Jun-hyun on the second day of the competition. Are you worried that Chef Choi Jun-hyun will affect your chances of winning the championship?"

"Cui Junxian, who is that?" Malu asked back.

"Chef Choi Jun-hyun is the youngest Michelin three-star chef in South Korea and the top seed in the Asian region of the MasterChef competition. He was highly favored to win the championship before the competition started. It is impossible that you have not heard of him."

"I don't have much impression of him. If he wants me to remember him, he has to live until the last day at least."

The MBC-TV reporter wanted to ask something else but was quickly interrupted by the reporter behind him.

"Hello, Chef Malu, I'm from Food & Wine magazine. I heard that you are actually the owner of the Cosmic Infinity Canteen, not the chef. So why are you participating in this Master Chef Competition?"

"Chef Malu, what do you think of the upcoming World Series?"

“Is there anyone in particular you would like to thank for winning this championship?”

"What kind of opponent is worthy of using both your hands?"

"........."

David squeezed for a long time and couldn't get to the front, looking at the crowds of people. Yu Yitong said to him, "Forget it, Boss Ma promised us that he would accept an exclusive interview later, so we can ask him then."

"I didn't expect that he actually won the championship." David said with emotion, "He was the least favored person before the competition. The top management of his company disagreed at first, but the facts proved your vision again. We have achieved our KPI for the first half of this year, hehe."

"Stop flattering me," Yu Yitong said, "Go back to your room and pack your things. The game is over and we have to go back too."

After bragging into the microphone for half an hour, Malu felt a bit bored, so he made up an excuse and slipped away.

After the game, he could leave the hotel, so he and Qi Shanzhu went to a nearby shopping mall to buy some Sanya specialties and flew back to City B overnight.

As a result, the next day, Malu drove to the restaurant and saw Sun Mei squatting outside the restaurant with a backpack and eating pancakes from a distance.

Seeing this, Malu drove straight past the Universe Infinity Canteen, wondering whether he should park the car in front of the Aijia Grocery Store, and then walk through the community and enter the restaurant from the back door.

The thought flashed through his mind, but he finally gave it up.

Because it's useless.

Restaurants have to be open for business, you can't avoid the fifteenth day.

Malu backed the car up and parked it in the original parking space.

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Sun Mei coming up to me, "Chef Malu."

"Chef Sun Mei, what a coincidence, why are you here?" Ma Lu got out of the car and saw Sun Mei, pretending to be surprised.

Sun Mei didn't buy it, "I've contacted you more than once, but you didn't answer my calls or reply to my text messages."

"What?" Malu took out his phone and continued to act like he couldn't turn it on. "Hey, the screen is always black. It seems like it's out of battery."

"Chef Malu."

"Don't call me chef. I don't plan to cook again after the God of Cooking Competition." Malu said.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Well, then just call me Boss Ma or Mr. Ma like everyone else."

"Boss Ma," Sun Mei said, "When do you think I should start working?"

"I think it's best for you to never join the company." Ma Lu said, "Didn't I tell you that the kitchen is not short of people, and your grandfather doesn't trust me either."

"My grandfather is old and confused. Don't take his words to heart. He hopes that I will stay in Songxiangju for the rest of my life."

"That's pretty good, it's the dream of many people to own a restaurant at a young age."

"But then I won't be able to improve my cooking skills any further." Sun Mei said seriously, "Many years ago, I turned to painting because I didn't feel challenged."

"But I really can't let you into my kitchen."

"I can be a waiter first, and until you are satisfied, Boss Ma, I will prove that I am qualified to work in the kitchen." Sun Mei's eyes were firm.

"This is not a question of qualification." Malu sighed, "Forget it, let me ask you a question first, why did you make custard buns in the last round yesterday?"

“Didn’t you tell me to make something I like? The reason I became a chef was because I saw the custard buns made in a restaurant and I thought they were cute and delicious.

"So I had the idea of ​​making it myself. The first dish I learned to make was also custard buns, which was taught to me by my grandfather. Just yesterday, I found my original passion again."

"Okay. You can stay in my shop, but only in the front hall. You are not allowed to enter the kitchen without my permission. But when Lao Wang is free, you can ask him any questions about cooking.
