Brush Up Your Proficiency

Despite the fact that in the innermost corner of his heart, Wang Hao was always filled with a sense of resistance to participating in a nationwide culinary competition, believing it was too high-profile.

However, the appearance of the cheat system's prompt made it impossible for him to refuse.

The various tempting benefits bestowed by this task were so generous that they were simply beyond imagination, like a magnet exuding fatal charm, tightly attracting people's attention, making them unable to resist this huge temptation.

Moreover, all the proficiency stored in the space will vanish into thin air and instantly return to zero."

When Wang Hao witnessed this feedback message from the cheat system, his originally listless mental state was instantly renewed, and he became excited.

Especially after noticing the strict punishment mechanism mentioned in it, he immediately put away his previous somewhat frivolous and careless attitude and thoughts.

After briefly greeting Li Qiang and entrusting him to take care of the kitchen, Wang Hao walked out of the kitchen with slightly hurried steps.

Once outside, he skillfully took out his phone from his pocket and unhesitatingly dialed a number—that was his former landlord, and also Tang Yan's father—Tang Guoliang's phone number.

At this moment, the sun shone on the peaceful park, with lush trees and a gentle breeze.

Tang Guoliang sat leisurely on a bench, his eyes focused on the group of old men in front of him who were engrossed in playing chess.

He would occasionally reach out his fingers and casually point out moves, as if he were the wise man controlling the overall situation.

However, he did not notice the glares and dissatisfied gazes from around him, still immersed in his own world, his face full of a joyful smile.

Just then, Tang Guoliang's phone suddenly rang, and Wang Hao's name flashed on the screen.

His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously restrained his playful expression.

Because in the culinary field, Wang Hao's skills were far more exquisite than his own, and even though the other party was young, Tang Guoliang always held a subconscious respect for this young master.

Tang Guoliang quickly pressed the answer button and said with enthusiasm, "Xiao Hao! What's the matter? Have you finally figured it out?"

For the past few days, he had been constantly thinking about whether Wang Hao would decide to participate in that important competition.

After all, as a member of the Xingyun Province Culinary Association, it was somewhat unwilling for him to not be able to push such an excellent talent to the forefront to show off his skills, and he even felt that he had suffered a great loss.

Therefore, when he received Wang Hao's call, a surge of unspeakable anticipation and excitement welled up in his heart.

Although this matter might bring some impact on his personal interests, people of his age would not care too much once they understood the matter.

Especially after he understood Wang Hao's own views on this matter, and his attitude towards those rewards, he became even more convinced that his decision was absolutely correct.

If such an excellent younger generation is not supported and guided, it would simply be a waste of talent bestowed by heaven!

Wang Hao was suddenly surprised when he heard the question raised by Tang Guoliang.

It turned out that this landlord was such a warm-hearted person, always concerned about his participation in the competition.

"That's right, Uncle Tang, due to some external factors, I have decided to participate in this competition.

However, if I can really win in the end, I will definitely not accept that reward. I know myself, and I definitely won't be able to handle that position. We don't need to discuss this point any further," Wang Hao replied firmly.

Although Wang Hao was forced to participate in this competition due to the task arranged by the cheat system, he would absolutely not tolerate such a situation if his own reasons caused Tang Guoliang to suffer such changes at this age.

In fact, he had already made up his mind before making the call that he would at most go to the competition to win a championship title, and once the task was completed, he would quickly withdraw.

"Oh dear, you little fellow are really stubborn! Forget it, forget it, let's wait until you successfully win the championship before making a decision.

I heard that this competition has gathered many masters from all over the country, so it's too early for us to talk about these things," Tang Guoliang responded with a wry smile, but deep down he was filled with endless emotion.

Even though he was already confident about the final outcome of this competition, he still deliberately made his words less certain, in order to avoid putting too much psychological burden on Wang Hao.

"That's great! I can take this opportunity to see what kind of superb skills other culinary masters possess!" Hearing this, Wang Hao was instantly filled with pride and couldn't help laughing.

"No problem, this competition will be held in Chuanfu Province in twenty days, and I'll take you there then. Before that, you should arrange your personal time in advance, after all, this trip will take at least three or four days."

Tang Guoliang admired Wang Hao, this young man, even more.

You should know that Wang Hao not only possesses superb cooking skills, but also, according to his daughter, is quite humble and introverted in his daily life.

What's even more rare is that, with his low-key personality, he can show the courage and determination unique to young people when encountering such things, and fearlessly move forward.

This fearlessness made Tang Guoliang deeply feel the power of young people, and at the same time made Wang Hao in his eyes become more perfect.

After the two briefly explained the specific competition time and location, Wang Hao quickly hung up the phone and turned back to the kitchen.

However, after only being away for a short while, he was surprised to find that the people in the back kitchen were already a little flustered and overwhelmed.

Seeing this situation, Wang Hao did not hesitate to return to his position, standing firmly in front like an indestructible line of defense, successfully resisting the surging tide of orders.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind: in the remaining half-month or so, he must go all out to help the back kitchen team gradually adapt to the working mode of losing his command;

He must also carefully guide everyone to improve their cooking skills and continuously enhance the business capabilities of each member!

Only in this way can he ensure that the entire back kitchen can still operate efficiently and smoothly in the days when he is not there.
