Chapter 1591: The cold-hearted Chairman Zhou
Translator: 549690339
Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie reached out his hand and gestured for everyone to sit down. He appeared to be very peaceful.
“Chairman Zhou, you’ve agreed?” Das.h.i.+ xiujie was the first to react and asked with surprise.
Das.h.i.+ xiujie couldn’t be blamed for being excited, because Zhou s.h.i.+jie’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 s.h.i.+jie didn’t answer das.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+jie’s words into English word by word for everyone.
Therefore, when they heard that Zhou s.h.i.+jie went to ask Yuan Zhou personally, they all became nervous at the same time. They stared at Zhou s.h.i.+jie’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 s.h.i.+jie 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. Das.h.i.+ xiujie looked at everyone and then stood up.
“It’s very simple. Just like Mr. Ois.h.i.+ 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 partic.i.p.ating, he agreed to this special invitation.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie explained in detail.
“I should.” Das.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+jie said.
“One?” Das.h.i.+ xiujie was surprised and asked.
“Yes, only one.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie nodded his head.
“Since it’s head chef Yuan’s idea, we understand.” Das.h.i.+ 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 s.h.i.+jie 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.” Das.h.i.+ xiujie stood up and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. You’ve all come from afar, so you’re all our guests. ” Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.
The few of them exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then those who partic.i.p.ated 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 partic.i.p.ate.
Under such circ.u.mstances, he naturally had no intention of staying any longer.
The menacing meeting ended perfectly under such circ.u.mstances.
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 s.h.i.+jie said straightforwardly.
“Alright, I’ll send out the notice now.” Liao Yue nodded.
“Well, that’s it then.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie’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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie said.
“I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“What’s the trouble? this is what I should do. ” Zhou s.h.i.+jie said kindly.
“What would you like to eat today?” Yuan Zhou knew that Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie ordered two Huaiyang dishes.
“Dad, I think you should treat me to a meal today.” After Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 pa.s.s. You’d better not embarra.s.s yourself with your lame cat’s skills.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 embarra.s.sment.
“You Rascal, every day you …” Zhou s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie 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 s.h.i.+jie indicated that he didn’t want to speak. He was seriously considering the possibility of stuffing his son back.
