After breaking up with He Xia, Tang Qi looked at Qiao Zhi with complexity.

"I didn't expect you to refuse to join the State Guesthouse, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any chef. ”

Qiao Zhi smiled, "I understand what you mean, if I stay in the State Guesthouse for a year, I can accumulate a lot of connections and resources, but it will also cost a lot of money, and I will lose a lot of things." ”

Tang Qi wondered, "What will you lose?"

Qiao Zhidao: "Loss of freedom and innovation in cuisine. Although the status of the chef of the state guesthouse is noble, and the state banquet dishes are classic, the dishes are limited and the ingredients are fixed, and for a chef, he will lose the pleasure of cooking all kinds of delicious dishes. Sun Jin and I felt this during the competition, although his basic skills are solid, he has too many rules and regulations in his mind. There will be a lot of consideration when trying to incorporate entirely new practices. Unlike me, I can be bold enough to add interesting things to my work. ”

Tang Qi suddenly realized, smiled, and said, "Since you have decided, then do it according to your wishes, I am too talkative." ”

Qiao Zhi shook his head very seriously, "No, your advice is very important to me. ”

Tang rode on Qiao Zhi's shoulder and patted it, although he was much older than Qiao Zhi, he always felt that Qiao Zhi was not much different from his own mental age, and even considered more mature and sophisticated than himself in some places.

......

"What? Qiao Zhi actually refused He Xia's invitation to join the State Guesthouse as a special consultant, was his head kicked by a donkey?"

Sun Ying got the news through her ears and eyes, and her heart was mixed.

She was originally worried that Qiao Zhi would join the State Guesthouse, which was equivalent to adding a strong resume to him.

As an opponent, his strength grows stronger, and it takes more energy to deal with him.

However, Qiao Zhi was surprised and did not agree.

What a weirdo!

......

Xi Tianlei took the initiative to find Qiao Zhi, first sighed softly, and then smiled with relief: "You didn't disappoint, although the game was inconclusive, everyone saw your strength." I will apply to the Culinary Association to try to make an exception for you to be admitted as a national chef. ”

Qiao Zhi hurriedly said: "I suggest that you still follow the process, always go through the back door, it will make me look special." ”

Xi Tianlei laughed, "With me and Lao Kong in charge, who dares to say that you go through the back door?"

Qiao Zhi was not hypocritical, "Then thank you Senior Xi." You are my Bole and nobleman, after meeting you, my life has gone a lot smoother, you are not only my guiding light, but also a big tree that shelters me from the wind and rain. You are highly respected, sympathetic to the younger generation, and a contemporary sage. ”

Xi Tianlei was so teased by Qiao Zhi that he almost didn't react, "You kid, I usually look at you very serious, but I didn't expect you to blow this set." ”

Qiao Zhi smiled faintly: "No way, the environment is forced." However, my gratitude to you just now is from the bottom of my heart, definitely not deliberate flattery, sincerity can be seen, I can swear to God. ”

Xi Tianlei waved his hand and smiled: "Don't sell your mouth to me." Today, when you are dealing with the relationship with Sun Jin, the way you are very admirable, you have obviously occupied the absolute leading advantage, but you deliberately made a step to ensure that Sun Jin can have a step to go down. Lao Kong and I both appreciate your attitude of neither humility nor arrogance. ”

Qiao Zhi's eyes were deep, and he said seriously: "Everyone has a sense of victory and defeat, and I am also a normal person, and in the face of Sun Jin's provocation, I also want to humiliate him fiercely." However, I thought of Mr. Xi and Secretary Tang

Long...... You have a good relationship with Sun Jin, sandwiched between me and Sun Jin, if either side loses, it will not be easy to deal with it. So I weighed the pros and cons and decided to make the big thing small. ”

Xi Tianlei's eyes showed a look of emotion, "Yes, the relationship between the Huaxia Cuisine Association and the State Guesthouse is close, if you let Sun Jin not get off the stage, it will definitely destroy the relationship between the Association and the State Guesthouse." You've been very thoughtful!"

Qiao Zhi's eyes showed a look of tenacity to endure humiliation.

Tang rode next to him and watched it, secretly amused.

Qiao Zhi was stunned by old rivers and lakes like Xi Tianlei.

Tang Qi was already familiar with Qiao Zhi, and he knew Qiao Zhi's true mentality.

It's true to weigh the pros and cons!

But it is definitely not from the standpoint of the association, but from the perspective of Qiao's gang leader and personal interests.

"By the way, Secretary General Tang, the last internal meeting of the association discussed the topic of establishing a young chef association, where is it now?" Xi Tianlei suddenly asked.

Tang Qidao: "The details of the implementation are still being finalized. ”

Xi Tianlei glanced at Qiao Zhi, "I think with Qiao Zhi's character and strength, he is fully competent to serve as the president." ”

Tang Qi's eyes showed a look of surprise, Xi Tianlei's reminder was very timely.

Tang Qi hadn't considered Qiao Zhi to hold this important position before, and the reason was very simple, although Qiao Zhi was famous and had won many awards in international cooking competitions, he just joined the Culinary Association this year, and everyone didn't know about his character ability.

But after this competition with Sun Jin, Qiao Zhixiu showed excellent strength.

"After the state banquet is over, I will submit Qiao Zhi's materials to the president and vice president for discussion. Tang Qi said with a smile, "I'm afraid I will need Teacher Xi's help at that time." ”

Xi Tianlei bowed his head and said: "Qiao Zhi has this ability, and when I explain a few words to him from above, I am very confident." ”

Qiao Zhi didn't know exactly what the two were talking about, so he remained silent and smiled.

Xi Tianlei suddenly lowered his voice and said to Qiao Zhi: "I have a reluctant request." ”

Qiao Zhi thought for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If I guessed correctly, it's for Sun Shichao, right?"

"The bell must also be tied to the bell. He's in a terrible situation right now. Although he can't be compared to you, he is definitely the elite of the Chinese culinary world, and I can't bear to see him ruined like this. Xi Tianlei said this, his eyes reddened slightly.

Qiao Zhi bowed his head and said: "Anyone will have times when they are confused, I am willing to talk to him, but whether he can get out of the quagmire depends on whether he can untie the knot." ”

Xi Tianlei sighed softly, not only did Sun Jin invest a lot of effort and energy in Sun Shichao, but Xi Tianlei also regarded Sun Shichao as his successor.

Xi Tianlei called Sun Shichao and asked him to find him in a room in the back kitchen of the Imperial Garden.

Sun Shichao knew what Xi Tianlei wanted to say, although he was very reluctant, he still came to the agreed place, he did not see Xi Tianlei, but saw Qiao Zhi.

"Teacher Xi arranged for you to wait for me here, right?" a wry smile appeared on the corner of Sun Shichao's mouth, "Do I want to congratulate you, you have successfully proven yourself, not only defeating me, but also defeating my father." ”

Qiao Zhi walked towards Sun Shichao, still ten centimeters away from him, and stopped, "I didn't expect you to be a bad breed and a coward." ”

Sun Shichao was stunned, his eyes showed anger, and he stared at Qiao Zhi fiercely, "What do you mean by this?"

Qiao Zhi smiled, "However, you can still be saved." ”

"Huh?" Sun Shichao was puzzled.

"It is said that after you lost to me, you fell into obsession all day long, and abandoned all your original goals, but I don't believe it! Qiao Zhi said patiently, "I have to tell you a story about a person." His name is Wu Linfeng, and he is the opponent I met at the King Chef Competition. He was originally known as the most promising young chef, but he played against me several times, and each time he lost badly. But in my opinion, he is better than you. Because despite losing again and again, he never gave up chasing his ideals. ”

Sun Shichao knew Wu Linfeng's name, and said lightly: "Everyone's experience is different, and the requirements for themselves are different, I don't allow myself to fail, even if I fail once." ”

Qiao Zhi didn't expect Sun Shichao to be so arrogant, coughed dryly, and sighed: "It's hard to imagine that you would say such superficial words, life is so long, why do you need to pursue temporary gains and losses?" Wu Linfeng and you, I am more optimistic about Wu Linfeng now, because he has been improving, and you are falling." ”

Sun Shichao's facial muscles twitched for a while, "Are you stimulating me?"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "Is it necessary for me to stimulate you? I'm just telling you, don't put yourself too high, people have to learn to sink down." There will be all kinds of setbacks in life, and sinking yourself and hiding in the shadows can often avoid a lot of trouble. You are too proud, this is your fatal flaw, and of course this is also your strength. Your dish gives a sense of nobility, which is characteristic of your character that gives the work. But pride can, it can, it can't be inflated. The balloon is blown up and bursts after exceeding the limit. ”

Sun Shichao's mood calmed down for some reason, and no one in the world was qualified to criticize him, not even his father.

But Qiao Zhi is special, he is the winner.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

Qiao Zhidao: "In this world, the most important thing is family affection. Your father provoked this competition in order to inspire you, and he did not hesitate to block his dignity and glory of victory, just to let you know that failure is not terrible at all, the key is to have the determination to stand up. If you are still like a sick dog, then his efforts have been in vain. ”

Sun Shichao said angrily: "Who do you say is the sick dog?"

Qiao Zhi grinned, "Let's make a bet, a five-year contract, and after five years, we will have another competition, and if you win, I will publicly apologize to you." If you lose, you have to say publicly, you're a sick dog!"

Sun Shichao knew that Qiao Zhi was using the agitation method, he was silent for a long time, and finally smiled self-deprecatingly, "Okay, I accept this bet." I won't say too much about the cruel words, and I'll see the real chapter when the time comes. ”

Sun Shichao left the room, and his heart began to become firm, Qiao Zhi's words that stimulated him just now, he knew that Qiao Zhi said it on purpose to cheer himself up.

"It's a blessing to have a strong opponent to target. Sun Shichao said to himself, "I won't let you look flat!"

Qiao Zhi walked out of the room, sneezed, rubbed his nose, and sighed.

I hope that Sun Shichao can stand up, so that he will live up to the villain who has been a "bully drag".

He didn't take the five-year covenant to heart.

Five years later, if Sun Shichao really finds himself, he will explain it to him, and say that everything is Xi Tianlei's meaning and take himself out!

I believe that Sun Shichao will be able to understand Xi Tianlei's good intentions at that time!
