The appearance of Sun Xiu added a lot to the opening ceremony, and it can also be seen that the organizers spent a lot of money this time.

"After the last King Chef competition, the organizers were criticized for taking too much money from sponsors but not promoting the conference well, and the person in charge at that time was even pushed out and sent to prison for financial problems. It seems that the organizers of this conference are smart. ”

Hao Wang and Qiao Zhi were separated by two positions, and they were shaking their heads and talking about the inside information of the previous conference.

Qiao Zhi felt that Hao Wang was still too young, and even if he heard the news, he couldn't discuss it openly on such an occasion.

The so-called wall still has ears, so many people in the venue, if the organizer hears it, won't they be targeted?

The industry's top events are never short of sponsors, and the organizers can reap a lot of good profits.

Through the influence of the conference to help sponsors increase their visibility, so that the conference can be held sustainably every year.

No matter how it was before, this conference should not be underestimated from the perspective of momentum.

Whoever can get the title of King Chef will definitely be more meaningful than the previous sessions.

It has been four years since the last conference, and the rise of China's economy and new media has made this conference full of opportunities and variables.

The players present are all elites in the industry, who doesn't want to realize the carp jumping dragon gate through this competition?

The seed contestants selected by the eight major cuisine catering groups, as well as the hidden masters from other small and medium-sized restaurants, are now holding back their strength to rush up.

Being in it, Qiao Zhi also felt his blood boiling, and he was ready to roll up his sleeves and do a big job.

This was followed by a series of speeches by leaders.

Mei Ling sat in the first row of the leadership seat and delivered a speech as the organizer of "Huaxia Food".

Wearing a small black suit, a white shirt, and long black hair, she seems to be casual, but she is very particular about her shoulders, and the silver jewelry on her chest flashes with a cold light in the light, making her temperament appear elegant and sharp.

In private, Mei Ling is a talkative and enthusiastic sister.

But in public, she is definitely a strong woman with courage and means.

"All of you here are elites and celebrities in the catering industry, and we are not only going to compete at our own level, but also to prepare for the World Chef Competition to be held in Yanjing next year. The world is big, and food is one of the bridges that connect cultures.

I believe that everyone can feel the responsibility on their shoulders. You are not only the makers of food, but also the disseminators of Chinese food culture. The King Chef Competition is a platform to test everyone, and it is not important to win or lose, the key is that everyone must be aware of the Chinese food culture, which needs to be inherited and carried forward. ”

There was a round of applause from below.

Qiao Zhi found that this conference was not only at the stage of the competition, but also to promote some policy intentions of the upper echelons.

With the strength of the country, now China pays attention to culture to go to sea.

Food is one of the important channels for culture to go overseas.

Where there is a Chinatown, there are Chinese restaurants. Chinese restaurants are popping up all over the world, and countless foreigners are falling in love with Chinese food.

However, these Chinese foods are only in vain, and do not contain the culture, and how to hide the culture in Chinese food requires a group of chefs to exert their wisdom to package and integrate into the food.

Mei Ling's speech stood at a very high level, and many players may not understand it.

However, there are more and more similar industry activities, and every time someone mentions and discusses, certain ideas will seep into the cells and blood of the participants, and become something that is integrated into the bone marrow.

To put it more bluntly, it is high-level brainwashing.

Brainwashing is rejected by anyone.

But Qiao Zhi felt that brainwashing like Mei Ling could have a little more.

Although China's economy is developing rapidly, the society is becoming more and more impetuous, especially in the industry of inheriting ancient culture, and practitioners lack the spirit of craftsmanship of the older generation.

At present, many catering companies on the market are frequently exposed to hygiene problems and food safety problems.

There is a lack of reverence for the profession in the marrow of practitioners.

The threshold for the restaurant industry is very low, almost everyone can run a business, but not everyone can afford to be a chef.

The so-called chef needs to have faith and spirit in his heart.

Zhong Shi saw that Qiao Zhi was in a daze, and stabbed him with his arm, "What's the matter? Because it's an old acquaintance, you're obsessed?"

Mei Ling had appeared at the Huainan Group internal selection kick-off meeting, so the players of the Huainan Group knew that Qiao Zhi had a close relationship with her.

Of course, some people will think that Mei Ling has already learned that Qiao Zhi has the identity of the Huainan Group's concubine, so he will take a special look.

"Obsessed?" Qiao Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you think everyone is like you?" ”

Zhong Shi smiled, "To be honest, this editor-in-chief Mei is really good-looking, I don't know if she is married?"

Qiao Zhi knew that Zhong Shi was deliberately testing himself, so he simply closed his mouth and ignored him.

Zhong Shi was choked by Qiao Zhi again.

However, he seems to be used to Qiao Zhi pretending to be deaf and dumb at every turn.

The opening event was rich and exciting, and after a series of leaders finished speaking, Sun Xiu and several small stars successively performed on stage, which made the atmosphere of the scene very good.

Everyone has the illusion that they are not here to compete, but to participate in the party.

Sun Xiu sang a song "May the beauty of the world meet you".

The eyes are shining, and the smile is full of gentleness and sweetness.

The soft and relaxing melody makes the air feel like there is more honey, and you can feel the mouth when you take a casual breath.

Although he is an actor by profession, his singing skills have been professionally leveled, and his voice is cool and thorough, which is more ethereal and sad than the original song, which makes people immerse themselves in it.

"I didn't expect Sun Xiu not only to act well, but also to sing so well. ”

"She is a professional from Yunhai Drama Academy, and of course she has two brushes. In addition to acting in TV dramas, he often performs in dramas. The requirements for dramas are much higher than those for TV dramas. The lines, on-the-spot performance, and talent must be excellent. ”

"It's a pity, Sun Xiu will say goodbye to us later. ”

"Hehe, if you perform well enough, there is still a chance to meet Sun Xiu. The organizers invited her to be the main judge for the finals. ”

"Tsk, do the organizers want to make this conference a variety show?"

"You're an afterthought. "Huaxia Food" has reached a cooperation with a Tianshi video, and will broadcast this chef competition live to the outside world in the form of an online variety show. ”

"Then don't I have to put on makeup every day when I go on stage?"

"Yes, the old man also has to pay attention to the image, and then go to the supermarket to buy some masks, facial cleansers or something!"

Later, several actors came to the stage to sing, and the effect was much less than that of Sun Xiu.

It's not that he is not popular, but that his stage experience and expressiveness are obviously several points inferior to Sun Xiu.

The artist's industry is a big wave of sand, facing competition at every step, and success requires its own hardness.

After the opening ceremony, after a half-hour break, everyone had to go to several competition venues one by one to be tested by the judges in the order of the preliminaries arranged by the machine in advance.

The biggest problem in the preliminary round is not how strong the competitors are, but whether the judges you face can approve of the dishes you prepare.

Huaixiang Group prepared for the contestants in advance, not only the information of the opponent, but also the information of the judges.

Among the materials, there are not only the positions of judges, but also their own hobbies and tastes.

Of course, these are all information that can be easily obtained by all catering giants, and those small and medium-sized catering companies do not have these means, so they must rely on the real skills of the contestants.

Qiao Zhi is No. 32 and is placed in the second examination area, and Zhong Shi is No. 68 and is in the fifth examination area.

The two of them went to the waiting area with their colleagues in the same test area to wait.

There are a lot of people in the venue, and it is more lively than the festival.

In addition to the contestants, there are also some foodies who come here. Among them, there are some Internet celebrity anchors who want to see with their own eyes whether there are any special delicacies at the King of Chef Conference.

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from behind him, "Qiao Zhi, is it you?"

The light diffused on the woman's face, Wen Yu's skin was ruddy, the ivory-white neck reflected a faint light, and the peach blossom eyes seemed to be bathed in rain, staring at herself with water.

Her long hair was tied in a ponytail, a heart-shaped headband was tied to the roots, and her pretty face was like a crescent moon.

I was stunned for five seconds.

Qiao Zhi followed the voice and was slightly stunned, "Shen Bing?"

"yes! ”

Shen Bing is Qiao Zhi's college classmate and the school's school flower.

At that time, many people pursued her, and Qiao Zhi had almost no other intersection except for a class activity and a few words to her.

Qiao Zhi remembered that Shen Bing fell in love with Cao Changbo, a popular figure in college, which was a romantic love story on campus with a talented and beautiful woman, which was quite envious and jealous at that time.

Qiao Zhi was an insignificant little invisible in college, and Shen Bing was a topic of conversation.

Shen Bing recognized Qiao Zhi at a glance, which made Qiao Zhi quite moved.

"Did you also lead a team to participate in the King of Chef Competition, and in which company do you work for?" said Shen Bing with a smile.

"yes! I'm just a bastard. Qiao Zhi smiled and didn't say much, "What about you?"

Shen Bing handed a business card to Qiao Zhi, and someone called her not far away.

"Wait for the preliminaries to start, I have to rush over to arrange it, this is my business card, we'll get in touch later." Don't forget to call me. ”

Qiao Zhi pinched Shen Bing's business card in his hand, "Xixiang Group" - Brand Propaganda Department?

Shen Bing's ancestral home is Shonan, and after graduating from Qiongjin's university, he returned to his hometown to apply for a job.

They studied hotel catering management, which is quite well-known in the country, and Shen Bing's image and temperament are good, so it is easy to find a suitable starting point in large enterprises.

I heard my roommate Hu Zhanjiao say that after Cao Changbo graduated, he went to a multinational hotel, and the two may have broken off contact now.

Love in college is like this, when you talk about it, you don't hesitate.

At the time of separation, it is also unusually decisive.

Is this the so-called dare to love and hate?

When Shen Bing talked to Qiao Zhi, he kept smiling, which made Qiao Zhi feel quite comfortable.

No wonder Shen Bing was in college, and many people liked her.

Despite being beautiful, there is no shelf at all, and with a smile on anyone.

Qiao Zhi put away the business card, and said in his heart that since she was so polite, after the preliminaries were over, he would contact her.

If it's convenient for her, you can treat her to a meal.

It's rare to see your classmates and have a meal, it's not that complicated.
