The Chinese Cuisine Association is located at the junction of the second and third rings in Yanjing City.

From the outside, it doesn't look amazing, like an ordinary resident, hidden in the alley, there is not too much traffic, but there are many luxury cars parked along the street.

When I walked into it, I found that there was a cave, and it was a four-entry compound. In Yanjing, this kind of compound is a scarce resource, and it is no longer circulated in the market, most of which are national assets, providing some descendants of families who have made meritorious contributions to live in.

Qingtang Washe, the façade is finely decorated, the environment is elegant, and the style is chic.

There is an osmanthus tree planted in the center of the courtyard, which is the season of osmanthus fragrance, and the faint sweet fragrance makes people feel cleansed.

It is a typical different style from the sea of clouds.

Yunhai's government offices and group headquarters are located in high-rise buildings, while Yanjing's institutions are likely to be hidden in some alley, with the inconspicuous bronze plaque engraved with the unit plaque of "national team".

Qiao Zhi and Mei Ling stood at the door, Mei Ling sent a message to Xi Tianlei, there was no response for a long time, and he was about to make a phone call, when a middle-aged man and a young woman walked in from behind.

The middle-aged man recognized Mei Ling at a glance, and was full of suspicion about the tightly packed man on Mei Ling's side.

"Mei Meinu, what are you doing standing at the door? It's not the first time you've come!" the middle-aged man smiled.

"Secretary-General Tang, it's great to see you. Although I used to come to visit, I was a guest after all, and this was the Gaomen compound, so I had to follow the rules and not go in and out casually, otherwise it would cause trouble for the security guards. Mei Ling put down her phone and smiled.

Tang Qi laughed, "That's the same, if you break in, you definitely can't, the association just recruited a new security guard recently, he is on the morning shift today, he definitely doesn't know you, if you have to enter, it will inevitably embarrass you." Who did you make an appointment with?"

"Teacher Xi!" Mei Ling told the truth.

The Culinary Guild is small in number, but it is full of factions. Mei Ling also couldn't figure out what the relationship between Tang Qi and Xi Tianlei was, so she stopped at the point.

Tang Qi's gaze would glance at Qiao Zhi from time to time, "Who is this?"

Mei Ling smiled: "My partner, Qiao Zhi!"

Tang Qi's expression was stunned, and he quickly squeezed out a smile, "It turned out to be a famous genius chef god, I have admired it for a long time! I can often see your news in the news, but the main thing is that you are too tightly wrapped, so I can't recognize it, and I don't dare to recognize it." It is also understandable that you are so famous now, and hiding yourself is also to avoid trouble. ”

"Thank you, Secretary-General Tang, for your understanding!"

Qiao Zhi took off his sunglasses and mask and took the initiative to reach out.

Although Tang Qi is full of Beijing accent, it does not make people feel rusty and distant, and at a glance, you can see that he is the type that is very good at doing things.

Tang Qi shook his hand warmly, "Let's go, come in and sit with me for a while, and I'll take you to Teacher Xi." ”

Qiao Zhi said: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Tang Qi said: "What is this! You are too polite. ”

Qiao Zhi smiled and followed behind Tang Qi, Tang Qi and the security guard pointed to Qiao Zhi's face and joked: "Remember this face, this is Qiao Zhi, a rising star in our Chinese culinary industry, in the future, when he enters and exits here, he can just brush his face." ”

The security guard smiled: "Secretary General Tang, I remember!"

Qiao Zhi sighed secretly, how could what happened just now be different from the plots in many places.

Generally, when you enter the Gaomen compound, you will be looked down upon in all kinds of ways, and the security guards will normally become cannon fodder, take advantage of their duties, humiliate themselves, and do not allow themselves to enter.

When he was humiliated to the point of being incomplete, Xi Tianlei suddenly appeared again, supported himself in the scene, and gave him a super slap in the face, and after the security guard was taught a lesson, he gave Qiao Zhi a heart-wrenching apology.

What a typical plot of pretending to be slapped in the face!

As fame grows, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to pretend.

Qiao Zhi sighed silently, alas, my happiness can't come back!

No one can't get along with a young man like Qiao Zhi, who has a lot of money and power, and has unpredictable potential.

It can be seen from Tang Qi's attitude that he hopes to handle the relationship with Qiao Zhi well.

Although the Huaxia Cuisine Association is not a government agency, it is full of a lot of rigid systems, and they can be like a fish in water in it, and they are all characters who have cultivated into fine cultivation, and Tang Qi is such a person.

Qiao Zhi and Mei Ling followed Tang Qi into the office, Tang Qi poured a glass of water for the two of them, and said with a smile: "You sit for a while, I'll go find Teacher Xi." ”

After Tang Qi left, Mei Ling smiled and said, "Don't underestimate Tang Qi, he is the landlord of this compound!"

Qiao Zhi looked at Mei Ling strangely and said in surprise: "Isn't this collective property?"

"Although it is collective property, the key to the compound is owned by Tang Qi, and there are several cats in the yard, all of which were adopted by Tang Qi, but Tang Qi has more real estate, so he doesn't live here. Mei Ling said with a smile.

Qiao Zhi sighed, "This is Yanjing...... Have no bottom. ”

Mei Ling said: "For a talent like you, Yanjing is where you can really give full play to your strengths, and it is recommended that you come and go around often in the future and have a good development for Qiao Gang Leader." ”

Qiao Zhi laughed at himself: "It's better for you to do it for you, I'm not very good at these." ”

Of course, Qiao Zhi knows how to be tactful, but he doesn't like to do that.

Tang Qi walked into the room and said with a smile: "Teacher Xi is answering the phone in the office, and he asked me to take you over." ”

For a great master of Xi Tianlei's level, the association arranged an independent office for them. Xi Tianlei had already finished the call, and when he saw Mei Ling, his face was full of apologies, "I encountered something just now, so I couldn't reply to your message in time." ”

Mei Ling smiled: "I can understand. ”

Xi Tianlei's eyes fell on Qiao Zhi's body, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, I will take you to meet a few people, they are all important backbones of the association, and they are also the top figures in the cooking industry." ”

Qiao Zhi smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble Mr. Xi." ”

Tang Qi and Xi Tianlei smiled, "Teacher Xi, you guys talk first, I still have a lot of things to deal with, I'm going to be busy for a while." Do I need to arrange lunch?"

Mei Ling hurriedly smiled: "After we finish our work, we have other things to deal with later, so we don't need to arrange meals." ”

Tang Qi said quickly, "Okay, if you need anything, let me know at any time." ”

After Tang Qi left, Xi Tianlei got up and took Qiao Zhi to the back, passed through the two doors, and came to a more open room, where two elders of the same age as Xi Tianlei were playing Go, extremely devoted, and they were very happy.

Seeing Xi Tianlei bringing people to arrive, the two sealed the chessboard.

"These two are Suo Zhi and Kong Bohou, both of whom are very famous culinary masters. Xi Tianlei introduced the two.

Suo Zhi stared at Qiao Zhi up and down, and said with a smile: "It's you, this kid, who will be so angry that you have a cerebral infarction, right? I didn't expect me to be so young." ”

Kong Bo said kindly: "Don't underestimate him. In the past two days, the most talked about in Yanjing's rice circle is his newly opened canteen. I heard that there is one

The stars used to have a class reunion, and after it was over, they made an advertisement. That cafeteria is on fire!"

Suo Zhi nodded slightly, "Lao Xi is full of praise for you, Lao Kong and I are very curious about your level!"

Qiao Zhi was stunned, did he plan to test himself on the spot?

Xi Tianlei defended Qiao Zhi, "Don't bully young people. I'm just bringing him here to show you a familiar face. I've personally tested his cooking skills. ”

Suo Zhi said angrily: "Lao Xi is still protecting his shortcomings as always! The key is that Qiao Boy has nothing to do with you!"

Xi Tianlei said with a smile: "Love talents, cherish talents." Is that a good reason?"

After greeting the two, Xi Tianlei took Qiao Zhi and Mei Ling out of the room.

Suo Zhi and Kong Bohou continued to play the chess game just now.

Kong Bohou observed for a while, and felt that something was wrong, "You cunning old ghost, did you do something, in the upper right corner, I obviously arranged an encirclement, why is it not now?"

Suo Zhi glared at Kong Bohou angrily, "Your thinking is confused, right? ”

"This game doesn't count, it's been moved by you. Kong Bohou directly messed up the chess pieces.

Suo Zhi was so angry, "You old horseman, I will play chess with you again in the future, I will be your grandson." ”

Seeing Suo Zhi leave, Kong Bohou packed the chess pieces into the chess box, and there was a deep color in his eyes.

The emergence of Qiao Zhi has attracted the attention of the industry, Kong Bohou, Suo Zhi and Xi Tianlei are all tasks on the industry pyramid.

In short, they are the chess players of the layout, and where the Chinese cooking industry will go in the next ten years, and who will be the flag bearer, are all in their calculations.

"Is Xi Tianlei going to give up Sun Shichao?" Kong Bohou sighed slightly.

Sun Shichao is twenty-nine years old this year, he is a close disciple of Xi Tianlei, and now he works in Europe, and he is the successor of Xi Tianlei's key training, but judging from Xi Tianlei's attitude towards Qiao Zhi, he seems to have changed his mind.

Qiao Zhi is indeed a talent, not only proficient in cooking, but also knows how to manage business.

But Xi Tianlei changed the core chess pieces again, this is not child's play, because over the years, Xi Tianlei has injected a lot of resources into Sun Shichao, and now giving up Sun Shichao, isn't it a waste of effort and energy?

Of course, there is another possibility!

Xi Tianlei really felt that Qiao Zhi's cooking skills were enough to provoke the beams, and he abandoned his personal interests.

The likelihood of this is low, at least Kong Bohou himself did.

Qiao Zhi's appearance in Yanjing caused a shock in the Yanjing culinary world.

Kong Bohou stroked his chin full of short beards, thinking about what to do next!

After Suo Zhi returned to the office, he poured out a few black and white seeds from his pants pocket, and said to himself: "Lao Kong, this guy's eyesight is getting more and more poisonous, and I am afraid that this trick will not be able to be used in the future." ”

made a call to his disciple Cao Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "You have to pay attention to Qiao Zhi!"

Cao Zhen frowned and said, "That Internet celebrity chef?"

Suo Zhi's tone was solemn, "Today, Xi Tianlei's old thing brought Qiao Zhi over and gave me and Lao Kong a look, this rhythm is to focus on cultivating Qiao Zhi! Your future competitors are not only Sun Shichao, Kong Fan, but also Qiao Zhi!"

Cao Zhen bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Master, please rest assured, I will not give anyone a chance to take advantage of it, I will carry forward the Suo's court cuisine!"
