The chef who could make Qiao Zhi recognize did not show up, and Qiao Zhi had to participate in the launching ceremony of the internal selection competition of the King Chef Competition, so he had to close his doors for a day.

The employees of the canteen can also take this opportunity to take a holiday, and the nerves that have been tense for many days can finally be relaxed.

Although Qiao Zhi is now very rich, he is still used to taking the subway and squeezing the bus, and when he gets off the bus, he sees a high-rise building, which is also one of the landmark buildings of Qiongjin now.

Huaixiang Group Building, everyone calls it "Food Building" outside. The building was originally built by the Huaixiang Group, and then part of the floor was rented and sold to some companies in the form of office buildings.

Most of the companies in it are mainly in emerging fields such as the cultural industry or the Internet industry.

The eighteenth to twenty-second floors are the headquarters of the Huaixiang Group, and the venue for today's meeting is located in the large conference room on the twenty-first floor.

Although Qiao Zhi and Tao Ruxue have been married for several months, it is the first time they have come here.

Qiao Zhi passed through the security check smoothly and arrived on the floor, the door of the conference room was locked, and everyone was waiting outside, so it was crowded.

Everyone comes from all over the world, all over the world, and gathers together in a region.

"Brother, are you also here to participate in the selection?" a fat man walked up behind him, arched his waist, and stealthily handed over a mosquito coil.

"Yes, I just came to see, there are so many masters, mainly learning. Qiao Zhi thought about it, but still took the mosquito coil and pinched it in his hand without lighting it.

The fat man pretended to be mysterious and said: "In fact, the internal selection has been decided a long time ago, and most of the people are here to accompany them." When the next meeting begins, the group of people sitting at the front are basically seeded players. ”

"You're clear!" Qiao Zhi admired.

"My master once participated in an internal competition, and he had good results at the time, thinking that he would be able to appear smoothly, but he didn't expect to be manipulated in the dark. The fat man sighed, "So let's come here and keep our minds relaxed." I'll travel at public expense. ”

Qiao Zhi asked casually, "Your surname?"

The fat man said: "Zhong Shi, nicknamed Fat Dun'er, referred to as Dun'er." ”

Qiao Zhi was almost amused by him, "Hello, my name is Qiao Zhi." ”

The two entered the auditorium, and Qiao Zhi and Zhong Shi chose a corner that was very remote, the kind of place that the camera would not scan at all.

Qiao Zhi looked at the front row, and sure enough, there were some chefs with seat cards, and he actually saw Chen Ming from the crowd.

Chen Ming can be selected for the internal competition, Qiao Zhi can still understand, but his level can enter the seeded player sequence, which is a little reluctant.

Qiao Zhi analyzed that it should be because Chen Ming is from Huaixiang Restaurant, and his master is Gong Fachao.

Qiao Zhi is still very satisfied with his location, after all, he is now a well-known public figure, although the probability of being recognized is not large, but if he is low-key, there will always be less trouble.

Qiao Zhi doesn't want to be a celebrity, because celebrities have to bear a lot of pressure, their private lives are dumped, and everywhere they go, they are watched, and if they accidentally take indecent photos, they often become laughing points.

Qiao Zhi wanted to live a simpler life, go to work every day, and come home with a beautiful and virtuous wife waiting for him.

The host is a tall and beautiful woman in a red dress, and the rest of the group executives who participated, including Song Hengde and Tan Zhen, there were a total of nine people.

Song Hengde's eyes fell on the players below, and he subconsciously wanted to find Qiao Zhi's figure, but he didn't find it for a while.

"This kind of meeting is too boring, and there should be some performances for everyone to have fun. Zhong Shi yawned, visibly sleepy.

"It's very suitable for you to go up and say cross talk. ”

"Stand-up comedy is not good, if you want to talk about it, it has to be double-mouthed. I'll give you a compliment. ”

Although it was the first time they met, Zhong Shi was a self-acquaintance, and he was already familiar with Qiao Zhi.

Zhong Shi is from Hanzhou, a prefecture-level city in Huainan Province, which is only an hour and a half away from Qiongjin. Hanzhou is a tourist city, although the income is not high, but the people are willing to spend money.

Therefore, the business of several restaurants under the Hanzhou Branch of Huaixiang Group is very good, so the strength of the kitchen will not be weak. From the perspective of the strength of the chefs, the level of chefs in Hanzhou is also relatively high, and the number of people is also large.

The process of the meeting continued to advance, and Zhong Shi, the strange man, finally couldn't hold back and began to take a nap.

"Next, I would like to invite Chen Ming, the chef representative of the selection competition, from Huaixiang Restaurant, to speak on stage!"

When Chen Ming heard this, he quickly stood up, his knee even hit the bottom of the table, and his face was red with pain, so he couldn't hold back.

When he learned a few days ago that he was going to speak on stage, he was overjoyed.

Being able to speak on behalf of nearly 600 players means that you are the seed among the seeded players.

Looking around, the eyes of those people who cast themselves were full of jealousy, sneer, and envy.

Chen Ming took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and walked to the rostrum.

There was a draft of his speech on the stage, but he didn't pick up the script.

In the past few days, he has privately recited this speech.

"Dear leaders and colleagues,

It's a pleasure for me to be here and speak on behalf of all of you.

As a chef, I have a big ambition from the very beginning. I want to cook the best food in the world for my customers, and I want every customer to give a thumbs up to my cooking.

I am honored to be able to practice my dream step by step, because Huaixiang Group has given me a wide space and platform. Those who can sit here today are the leaders of Huaixiang Group, and it is the group that has cultivated us. And we should also repay the group with our own efforts. Therefore, I once again call and advocate that everyone take the best level to treat this internal competition, enter the main competition of the king of chefs, and win glory for Huaixiang Group!

......”

"This guy's eloquence is good, the key is scheming. I memorized all the manuscripts. Zhong Shi didn't know when he opened his eyes and praised him repeatedly.

Qiao Zhi had contact with Chen Ming in the back kitchen, and Zhong Shi's comments were really to the point.

Everyone has their own philosophy of life, and Qiao Zhi did not look down on Chen Ming, but felt that he was particularly attentive.

What others can't do or can't think of, he can do, and that's where he can stand out.

Although Chen Ming's speech was not long, it attracted everyone's attention, especially Song Hengde and the senior management in charge of the chef reserve, and communicated in a low voice, "This young chef is very good. ”

Song Hengde simply mentioned this, basically after Chen Ming, it was basically smooth sailing in Huaixiang Group.

Chen Ming returned to his seat, feeling that his clothes were soaking wet.

But he felt very happy, and after so many days of preparation, he finally played at the critical moment.

Someone hurriedly walked around from the stage, walked behind Song Hengde, and whispered a few words.

Song Hengde's expression changed slightly, and he quickly stood up and followed the man outside.

Song Hengde got the news that an important person suddenly came to the meeting.

In order to be able to invite her, Song Hengde spent a lot of effort, but because of the special identity of the other party, there has been no clear answer.

The host didn't expect Song Hengde to leave suddenly, showing a strong ability to control the field.

"Everyone, please be patient. My meeting is not over yet, so please be quiet. ”

Everyone is curious, who is suddenly on the scene?

Could it be Chairman Tao Nanfang, who has been recuperating from illness and has not shown up for a long time?

Song Hengde walked at the front of the crowd, and beside him was a tall woman.

This woman is very beautiful, like a heroine who came out of a Korean drama, with a strong aura, except for Song Hengde, everyone stands one meter away.

She is tall, at least 1.7 meters, and even if she is not wearing high heels, she looks slender and slim.

The seats on the rostrum have been adjusted, and the service staff has arranged a position next to Song Hengde, but the seat card has not had time to be put on.

From this detail, it can be seen that her identity should be particularly important.

Song Hengde took the initiative to pick up the microphone, and his smile contained some excitement, "Let me introduce to you that the main guest of today's meeting, she is the deputy editor-in-chief of "Huaxia Food" magazine, Ms. Mei Ling. ”

Immediately there was an exclamation below.

Zhong Shi saw Qiao Zhi's blank face, "Why didn't you react!"

Qiao Zhidao: "Isn't it the deputy editor-in-chief of a food magazine?"

Zhong Shi patted his head, and said in his heart, oh my God, looking at Qiao Zhi as if he was observing aliens.

"Didn't you do any homework when you came to this meeting? Although the King of Chefs Competition is organized by the Chef Association, it has been the specific organizer of "Huaxia Taste" for so many years, and they are responsible for the early publicity, mid-term promotion, and later implementation of the event, and the judges are all invited by them. ”

The last sentence is intriguing!

Qiao Zhi bowed his head and said, "I understand what you mean." If the deputy editor-in-chief of "Huaxia Food" can be invited to the scene, it will be of great benefit to boost morale. ”

"Yes, in the previous years of the King of Chefs, the results of Huaixiang Restaurant were not good-looking, so that now Huainan cuisine is also in a weak position among many cuisines, so the senior management of this group is holding back a lot of strength and must achieve good results. ”

Zhong Shi has a hand in gagging, but I didn't expect him to have a good insight into the industry situation.

Qiao Zhi smiled, he was not interested in this.

Although he also has a desire to win, he now needs to solve the most personal problems.

Location determines the field of view.

The status of Huainan cuisine in the national and even global catering industry should be considered by bigwigs like Tao Nanfang or Song Hengde.

Qiao Zhi's goal now is to run the Internet celebrity canteen well, and at the same time fulfill the original agreement with Tao Nanfang, participate in this selection, and try his best to get good results.

"Editor-in-Chief Mei, I didn't expect you to come to the launching ceremony of our internal selection competition, and I would like you to say a few words to everyone to help us boost our morale. Song Hengde pushed the desktop microphone to Mei Ling's hand.

Mei Ling smiled slightly and looked around, "I came here today just to cheer for a contestant in the audience." His name is Qiao Zhi!"

As soon as Mei Ling's words came out, everyone was in a state of confusion.

"Who is Qiao Zhi?"

"Where is he?"

Zhong Shi's expression was as if he had eaten, staring at the man beside him, "That, brother, your name is Qiao Zhi!"

Qiao Zhi was also at a loss, "I'm Qiao Zhi, but I don't know her!"
