Gourmet Food Supplier - Chapter 1453

While Yuan Zhou had just started to read, Zhong Lili hurriedly said,””Boss Yuan, you can tell me directly if you have anything to tell me.”

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then continued to stare at the information in his hand.

The car was driving very smoothly. The documents in Yuan Zhou’s hand didn’t even shake at all, which indicated that the driver was an experienced driver.

Not long after, the car quietly and steadily stopped at the entrance of the chef’s Association headquarters.

“Boss Yuan, you’re here,” Zhong Lili opened the car door and said.

“I know.” Yuan Zhou nodded and closed the folder. Then, he handed it to Zhong Lili conveniently.

Yuan Zhou stood up and got out of the car. Then, he walked straight into the skyscraper, while Zhong Lili followed behind him with a briefcase in her hand.

Since Zhong Lili was following them, the receptionist didn’t ask anything at all. Instead, she went up to help them press the elevator. Then, they went directly to the fifth floor where Zhou Shijie’s office was located.

It was very quiet in the electric elevator. Zhong Lili looked at Yuan Zhou’s side face and opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, she couldn’t say anything when she saw Yuan Zhou’s usual serious and earnest expression.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, didn’t notice anything at all during the whole process. He was seriously thinking about how to talk when they met later.

In the end, Yuan Zhou decided, I’d better wait and see.

Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou’s expression became even more solemn. With such an expression, the two of them walked to the reception room on the floor where Zhou Shijie was located.

That’s right. It was impossible for Zhou Shijie to receive so many chefs in his own office. Naturally, he moved them to the reception room.

The reception room was not far from Zhou Shijie’s office.

“Hua la,” Zhong Lili went up and pushed the door open. All the people in the reception room turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou.

The layout of the reception room was rectangular with single-seater sofas on both sides and two sofas on both ends. Zhou Shijie was sitting on one of the sofas opposite the door.

The remaining four people were sitting opposite each other. There were four people on each side, and the four people opposite the door were obviously from the Sichuan chefs ‘side.

When these people saw Yuan Zhou, they revealed a kind expression and even smiled at him to express their friendliness.

Seated with their backs to the door were the chefs from Guangdong Province. When the four of them turned their heads and looked at Yuan Zhou, there was a judgmental look and a faint sense of dissatisfaction in their eyes. However, they still nodded to Yuan Zhou with a smile on their faces to show their respect.

“Little Yuan, you’re here. Sit here.” Zhou Shijie stood up and greeted him.

The moment Zhou Shijie stood up, the remaining eight chefs also stood up and looked at Yuan Zhou.

“Chairman Zhou,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and greeted him. Then, he walked towards Zhou Shijie.

Zhou Shijie’s restaurant was the furthest away from the restaurant. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would pass by all the chefs when he walked there.

Yuan Zhou looked straight ahead and walked straight to his seat steadily. Only when he got to his seat did he say,””I’m sorry I’m late. Sorry for the long wait. ”

“You’re not late. I know you’re busy, so I asked little Zhong to pick you up at this time. I’m afraid your lunch time has just ended.” Zhou Shijie said immediately.

Zhou Shijie’s words were full of protection. This straightforward protection made the chefs of Sichuan quite used to it. After all, they had been forced to listen to Yuan Zhou’s words for two to three years every day. Thus, they were used to it.

On the other hand, the champion of the second Fengcheng Food Festival from Guangdong Province, Qiu Ji, raised his eyebrows and looked at Cui Hang.

Speaking of which, Qiu Ji and Cui Hang were known as the Twin Stars of Feng city’s gourmet food. The name “qiu cui” sounded like a Chuunibyou name, but in fact, it was a very powerful name.

Cui Hang just smiled and nodded his head slightly. Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Shijie’s protection. However, he didn’t show his feelings because he respected the two presidents.

“Indeed, lunch has just ended.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said honestly.

“You’re not late. We just got here. ” Wu Yue, a famous chef from Sichuan’s mansion, said.

“That’s right. We’re not late. We just arrived. Our butts are hot from sitting down.” Li Jun said.

“As a chef, it’s not very elegant for you to speak with your butt.” This time, it was Tang Quan, who was good at Sichuan-style dim sum.

“This butt is also part of the human body. How is it not elegant?” Li Jun said with a smile.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s elegant or not. Just like they said, we haven’t even spoken much.” The chef from Guangdong Province, Qiu Ji, said with a faint smile.

“Indeed, it hasn’t been long.” Cui Hang looked at the clock in the reception room when he said this.

At first glance, their words didn’t sound like anything special, but Yuan Zhou understood the meaning behind them. Having been in his position for a long time, not to mention that he had the experience of being a Queen, Yuan Zhou could naturally tell whether a sentence was good or bad. However, he didn’t show any change in his expression.

Even Zhou Shijie didn’t say anything at the side. He just waited for Yuan Zhou to deal with it himself. On the one hand, he was very protective of Yuan Zhou. On the other hand, he would also train Yuan Zhou’s ability.

“In that case, let’s continue.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said straightforwardly.

“I’ve already read everyone’s information in the car just now. The dishes that you’re good at are written on it. I think you don’t know what I’m good at, so I’ll talk about what I’m good at.” Yuan Zhou said.

“No, no, no. Head chef Yuan, you are too humble. We all know the dishes that you are good at.” Qiu Ji said.

“Indeed. I heard that head chef Yuan is very good at Cantonese, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan cuisines. He is really amazing.” Cui Hang also said.

“I hope that we will have the opportunity to see head chef Yuan’s Cantonese dim sum this time.” The two chefs of the Cantonese dim sum also said.

“Head chef Yuan, we’ve heard so much about you that we’ve already memorized all the dishes you’re good at.” Wu Yue, the chef of Sichuan cuisine, said to ease the atmosphere.

“Alright, since everyone understands, I won’t say much.” Yuan Zhou didn’t mind that his self-introduction was interrupted.

“I wonder how head chef Yuan is going to arrange the exchange.” The older Cui Hang asked.

“We aren’t familiar with each other yet. However, there isn’t much time left for this exchange. I wonder what head chef Yuan is planning to do.” Qiu Ji also asked in a seemingly humble way.

“We will follow your arrangements, head chef Yuan.” The Sichuan chef Li Yu said as he turned to look at the people beside him.

“That’s right. We will follow head chef Yuan’s arrangement.” These people were very sensible and chimed in together.

It seemed that these Sichuan chefs had also felt the subtle hostility from these Guangdong chefs. However, Zhou Shijie just looked at them without saying anything.

Standing behind them, Zhong Lili looked at Yuan Zhou worriedly, but she still lowered her head and took notes seriously.

Facing these questions, Yuan Zhou answered calmly,””Since everyone wants to know how we’re going to arrange it, why don’t you show me your cooking skills first? I’ll make the arrangement after I’ve tasted it.”

After Yuan Zhou said that, he just looked at everyone with a serious expression and no abnormality could be seen.

This was exactly what the Cantonese chefs wanted. Cui Hang and Qiu Ji immediately said,””That’s a good feeling. Come, come, come. Let’s show head chef Yuan what we’re capable of.”

“Little Zhong, go to the seventh floor and arrange a big kitchen.” Zhou Shijie turned his head and instructed Zhong Lili.

“Thank you, Chairman Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said.

“You’re welcome,” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

From Zhou Shijie’s manner, it was as if Yuan Zhou wanted to subdue everyone and he was responsible for providing the venue.
