"Uncle Niu, you rest first, I'll go out to inquire about the news. ”

Zhang Liang looked at the time, it was still early, and there was still more than an hour before the game.

It just so happened that when he went out to see the situation at the scene, or if there was any notice, he always had to know that Uncle Niu was the first to play.

Today's arrivals are all chefs selected from all over the country, and there are not a few people in total, if they are on the stage at the same time, Zhang Liang will also strive for a middle position.

This can not only increase the exposure of Uncle Niu, but also make Uncle Niu's works not too far forward and not too far behind.

Too far forward will cause the judges not to give high scores, after all, there are so many people in the back, too far back will lead to aesthetic fatigue of the judges.

Zhang Liang walked around the backstage twice, there were still many people here, Zhang Liang looked at the lounge alone There were no less than ten.

As for whether there are people in this lounge, it is unknown.

"Huh?"

Zhang Liang suddenly saw a familiar figure, and stepped forward to say hello: "Chef Han!"

Zhang Liang waved his hand at Chef Han, the other party was the judge this time, a few days ago, Chef Han had already set off in advance, and did not let the rest of Zhang Liang's subordinates continue to study with him.

"Zhang Liang?"

Chef Han was also a little surprised, and walked quickly in front of Zhang Liang.

These days, although he is training Zhang Liang's people, Zhang Liang is also very busy, and the two haven't seen each other for a while.

"Where's your break room? I've been looking for you for a long time but haven't found it. ”

Of course, Chef Han knew that Zhang Liang had the qualifications for the finals, so he also paid attention to Zhang Liang, but he didn't find it.

"At the front, but you can't meet the contestants, right?"

Zhang Liang laughed, Chef Han, as a judge, naturally can't contact the contestants too much, otherwise he will be regarded as colluding.

"It doesn't matter, we have this video all the time, and the phones are all dedicated, and they can find it if they want to investigate. ”

Chef Han pointed to the recorder on his chest, he was a person with a strong sense of justice, how could he do something like a guard and steal?

Zhang Liang nodded when he heard this, exchanged a few more words with Chef Han, and asked about the afternoon.

"Tell the judges to go to the meeting, I'll go first, you must let your people play well!"

Chef Han hurriedly answered the phone, then patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said.

Zhang Liang nodded and thanked Chef Han for his kindness.

Then Zhang Liang planned to go back, he had already asked everything that should be asked, and now he was waiting for the game.

"All the team leaders participating in the competition are invited to come to the front conference room for a meeting, which will solemnly explain all the rules of the competition. ”

Zhang Liang also received a message, which was sent to him by the host.

The organizer registered his mobile phone number before, and Zhang Liang walked to the conference room when he saw the text message.

"Huh?"

But just as Zhang Liang was about to go over, he accidentally found a sneaky person walking towards the lounge of one of the contestants.

If it was just sneaky, Zhang Liang wouldn't pay too much attention, but he saw that there was a work card on this person's chest, and the words of the judge were written on it!

"Even Chef Han doesn't dare to go to the contestant's room easily, this person is not afraid of causing trouble?"

Zhang Liang touched his chin, now is a sensitive period, if this judge colludes with the contestants, it is a big taboo!

Zhang Liang looked around and saw that there was no one around, the judges and the staff had gone to the meeting, and he was at the bend, and the judge who went to the contestant's room did not see him.

"There must be a cat!"

Zhang Liang squinted his eyes, thinking about it in his heart.

"Let's take a look!"

Zhang Liang thought about it, he still had to go over and take a look, no matter whether the other party was wronged or not, Zhang Liang only had to see it.

If it's wronged, it's the best, but if it's not wronged, then this time the chef competition, someone is going to make a fool of himself here!

Just as Zhang Liang was about to go to the door to check the situation, the previous judge came out of the contestant's room again.

The other party was still carrying a black bag in his hand, Zhang Liang was originally curious about what the other party was holding, but the man looked left and right to see that there was no one, and reached out to take out the things from inside.

That's a wad of hundred-dollar bills!

The judge put the hundred-dollar bill in front of his nose and sniffed it, revealing a look of ecstasy.

The man then slipped the money back into his bag and walked out of the place at a brisk pace.

And Zhang Liang is quick-eyed and uses his mobile phone to record all this.

"Maybe there's a clue in the room......"

Zhang Liang's head turned quickly, and he quickly figured out the key to the matter.

The other party has only been in for half a minute, which means that there is very likely to be no one inside, otherwise it should not be only half a minute to talk.

Zhang Liang tiptoed over, he didn't care about any meetings now, he asked his company's manager Zhang Heng to participate.

Zhang Liang first looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, he went to the door and listened carefully to the movement inside.

"Click!"

Zhang Liang turned the door lock, and his super hearing and intuition told him that there was no one inside.

Sure enough, after Zhang Liang opened the door, there was no one inside, and the lights were not turned on.

Zhang Liang dodged in, and then closed the door.

This is a guest room specially prepared by the hotel for the players, so basically the facilities and layout are the same, and Zhang Liang can see the difference at a glance.

And the judge only came in for half a minute, and the place where he could get the money must not be very secret, but at the same time, it must prevent someone from entering by mistake, so naturally it can't be placed in a very conspicuous place.

"There it is!"

Zhang Liang's eyes lit up and he walked to the bathroom.

He opened the toilet lid, and sure enough, there was a mobile phone in a crisper bag.

Zhang Liang hesitated, but still took out the fresh-keeping bag.

It's an old-fashioned phone that doesn't even have a combination lock.

After Zhang Liang opened it, he looked through the phone, there was no call record, and the information was only a bunch of garbled characters.

Zhang Liang copied all the garbled characters to his phone, and then planned to put the phone back, but he suddenly remembered that the most commonly used in old-fashioned mobile phones was actually the email function.

Sure enough, after Zhang Liang opened the email, there were a large number of photos of the previous judges on it, and the text below was the threatening content.

And the other message is to ask the judge to come to this room to get the money, and hide the phone in its original location.

Zhang Liang filmed all of them, and then put them all away.

"No wonder you want to smell it, it turns out that it smells bad or not?"

Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered what the previous judge had done, and he had misunderstood others.

Zhang Liang packed all these things before leaving the room.

When he went out, he saw that the camera was broken to the other side, no wonder the judge dared to be so unscrupulous.

Then, Zhang Liang returned to his room and told Uncle Niu about it.

"It must be an attempt to cheat, otherwise it wouldn't be like this. ”

Uncle Niu frowned, and immediately said.

Zhang Liang nodded in approval, and then said: "Uncle Niu, you must observe more on the field today, I will find someone to crack the information in this, you just need to observe who is the most suspicious." ”

Zhang Liang knew that if this matter was finally exposed, it would have a great impact on the Chef God Competition, but if it was found out by his own people, the impact would be minimal, and it would even increase the popularity.

"Good. ”

Uncle Niu agreed, and then said: "Manager Tao, I just sent back the news, I am the third group, I will observe carefully before this." ”

Of course, Uncle Niu will not forget what he does, and observing those people is just a matter of passing.

"Okay, get ready, it's time for us to play. ”

Zhang Liang greeted everyone, and then walked to the front desk with them.

Zhang Liang arrived at the front desk passage, and Tao Zhuoran was already waiting there.

"Let's go, we're at the front. ”

Tao Zhuoran went to the meeting instead of Zhang Liang before, and he knew the next arrangement.

After Zhang Liang and others went out, the flashing lights on the scene kept flashing, especially the audience was already crowded with the audience, and the cheers on the scene came and went.

"There are so many people, Uncle Niu, this is your most likely chance to be famous all over the country!"

Zhang Liang said to Uncle Niu in a joking tone.

But what he said is also true, this event is very pompous, Zhang Liang doesn't know if the previous Chef God Competition is the same, but he knows that as long as he can stand out this time, it will definitely make Uncle Niu famous all over the world.

"I don't ask for that, I just want to prove myself. ”

Uncle Niu smiled innocently and straightened his hat.

Zhang Liang nodded, it is indeed very rare for someone like Uncle Niu to not be shaken by money and status.

The Chef Contest is still going on, and Zhang Liang has already sent the information he investigated before to his subordinates, they have first-hand information, and Zhang Liang is counting on them to crack this information now.

"Dear viewers and friends......"

The host walked up to the stage at this time and controlled the scene.

With his brief introduction, the jury and the organizers took the stage in turn.

Zhang Liang saw at a glance that the judge he had seen before was now greeting the audience with a smile like no one.

This was followed by speeches by the representatives of the judges and the organizers, the representatives of the judges were Chef Han, and the representatives of the organizers were the vice presidents of the National Chamber of Commerce.

This scene is enough to make many national events embarrassing.

"The first contestant is Mr. Jing Heng from the capital, known as the closed disciple of the previous generation of kitchen gods, looking forward to his performance!"

As soon as the host spoke, the scene became hot in an instant.

Countless people screamed and cheered, and Zhang Liang noticed that there were still people who came to support, and there were a lot of light sticks on the light signs.

Just when Zhang Liang was curious about who the other party was, a handsome young man in a suit walked out of the backstage.

There was incomparable confidence on his face, and as soon as he appeared, many little girls screamed and cheered.

This person is Jing Heng, and he is also the closed disciple of the previous generation of kitchen gods, he appeared in the first scene, and he really has a lot of impact.

For many audiences, Jing Heng is not only a chef, but also an idol, no wonder Zhang Liang saw many young faces, and the co-authors came to chase stars.

And for Zhang Liang and other participants, this Jingheng is more like a mountain, after all, there is the aura of his master.

"Uncle Niu, wait a minute, you can take a good look at it, see what stands out about him, you must avoid it. ”

Zhang Liang paid attention to Uncle Niu, if this Jingheng did a very outstanding job in a certain aspect, it would be irrational for Uncle Niu to go hard again.

Unless Uncle Niu thinks that he will be better than him, then he can give it a try.
