It's too exaggerated, as soon as Zhou Dong arrived at the front of his alma mater, he saw a line of welcome crowds, in front of which were carefully selected girls from various majors, wearing fitness clothes, holding various colored garlands, and shouting in unison under the password: "Welcome Senior Zhou back to his alma mater!"

"Zhou Dong Zhou Dong, Qingxiang Star!"

Behind are the male classmates who are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, the teachers who are smiling and smiling, He Bijin who is smug and smug with his chest and belly, and Principal Hong who is holding his chin.

Fortunately, He Bijin knew the temper of his 'beloved apprentice', although the welcome ceremony was large-scale, it ended quickly, and with a smile, Principal Hong personally took Zhou Dong's hand and welcomed him into the principal's office.

"Student Zhou, thank you alma mater, your achievements are your glory, but also the glory of your alma mater, you will become the most shining star senior in the history of alumni, we are considering to hang your portrait in the chef class, so that the junior students can take you as an example, study hard, study fine cooking, and better serve the people in the future!"

The principal smiled and pulled Zhou Dong to sit down on the sofa, looking at Zhou Dong's eyes like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law: "Come on, come on, classmate Zhou, drink saliva first and then speak." Lao He, don't stand still, let's taste my Ming Qian Longjing together!"

Zhou Dong was not polite, took a sip of Longjing, nodded and said, "It's really the top Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, a good thing!" Of course, he must maintain enough respect for Principal Hong, and the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty is also worth tasting with a master-level taste.

"Oh, you deserve to be the king of Huaxia noodles, I can't imagine that you also have a study of tea, classmate Zhou?

Principal Hong couldn't stop praising Zhou Dong: "Student Zhou, since you are a student of Qingxiang, I will also open the skylight and say something bright; Qingxiang's slogan is 'Achieve tomorrow's you', but you are an exception, you have achieved Qingxiang, not Qingxiang has achieved you."

So from the school's point of view, I naturally hope that you can go higher and further. I'm going to let you graduate early and help you apply for the Level 3 Chef Qualification Examination directly in the name of the school, I don't know what you mean?"

"Let me graduate early and take the Chef III qualification exam directly?"

Zhou Dong was overjoyed.

His goal is ultimately to become the only chef in the world, strength is important, and the rank title is just as important, and if he can graduate as soon as possible, his parents will probably be very happy, and there is no reason to refuse after thinking about it.

"If you can graduate early, of course it's fine, I don't have a problem. However, Principal Hong, I'm afraid that my conditions are not enough to directly participate in the third-level chef exam, right?"

Graduates of the chef major can successfully get the five-level chef certificate after the internship expires, and after one year, they can take the fourth-level exam, and after two years, they can take the third-level exam, no matter how fast, it will take three years.

Principal Hong smiled: "Of course, first of all, we Qingxiang have the right to recommend, in principle, we can recommend the best students to directly participate in the fourth-level chef exam; ”

"Kyushu Ding Food?" Zhou Dong frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something.

"Yes, Mr. Gu of Kyushu Ding Food has sent a message and is willing to issue you a top resume signed by the eight chefs, and Mr. Gu also said that after you obtain the third-level chef certificate, Kyushu Ding Food hopes to sign a contract with you and make you the ninth head chef of Kyushu Ding Food!"

"Let me be the chef of Kyushu Ding Food, and I still have to sign a contract?" Thinking of Gu Yacheng's conditions, Zhou Dong subconsciously wanted to refuse; he didn't agree to one percent of the dry shares, but now it's good, he wants to exchange his resume and chef position for his freedom?

Even if he agrees, Dad will object, right?

"Zhou Dong, you don't have to worry, I heard Principal Hong say that Kyushu Dingshi just wants to sign a one-year contract with you, and in exchange, Kyushu Dingshi agrees to carry out in-depth cooperation with our school.

To tell you the truth, Qingxiang has been suppressed by several famous technical schools in the province over the years, and now even the source of students is about to become a problem, so the school attaches great importance to this cooperation opportunity with Kyushu Dingshi. ”

Why bother to rush and said: "Kyushu Dingshi promises that it will absorb ten Qingxiang chef graduates every year in the future, and will directly give them formal contracts!"

Zhou Dong, now you only need to nod, not only can you get the opportunity to refer to the third-level chef and the position of head chef of Kyushu Ding Food, but also win a development opportunity for your alma mater......"

"That's ......"

Zhou Dong nodded, no matter how you look at the one-year contract, it is acceptable, not to mention that his alma mater is kind to him, and now that he has the opportunity to repay his alma mater, he should not refuse it no matter what.

Thinking of Huai Liangren's words and the embarrassed appearance of being tired these days, maybe what Lao Huai said also has some truth?

Although I am reluctant to leave the breakfast department, if I continue to stay in the breakfast department, I am afraid that it will affect the normal business.

Maybe it is a good choice to become the chef of Kyushu Ding Food?On the side of the early department, I can only try my best to help the masters and fat people in the early department mature as soon as possible.

According to the system, his illness has not fully recovered, but after this period of time, Zhou Dong's thinking has become much clearer than before, and he can already analyze the pros and cons and make a more correct choice.

I thought I could stay in the early department for a while, but now it seems that it may not work, but before leaving, he has already begun to think about how to 'clean up' the early department, which is simply unimaginable in the past.

"In that case, I agree. It was my alma mater that accepted me back then, and now it's time for me to give back to my alma mater. ”

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "Principal Hong, you can reply to Kyushu Dingshi and ask them to sign a contract with the school first, and after the contract is successful, I will sign a contract with them." ”

Principal Hong nodded again and again: "Student Zhou, on behalf of Qingxiang, I thank you! Qingxiang, it will always be your home!"

"Headmaster, then I'll go back first. Forget about the portrait you just said, I'm still too young, so it doesn't feel appropriate. ”

After Zhou Dong left, Principal Hong immediately dialed Gu Yanan's phone, and after hearing the confirmed news, Gu Yanan jumped up from the office chair and almost knocked over the coffee cup in front of him.

"Brother, Zhou Dong agreed!"

"Not surprisingly, when I was in the mushroom house, I saw that this kid was a kind and righteous person, and I had already guessed that he would agree. ”

Gu Yacheng tapped his fingers lightly on the desk a few times: "But I have a suggestion for you, you can set up a separate hall for Zhou Dong on the seventeenth floor and appoint him as the head chef, but it is not suitable to put forward the concept of 'Ancient Capture Hall' now......"

Gu Yananqi said, "Why?"

"In order to 'capture the ancient hall', my father spent countless manpower and material resources to collect many lost recipes, but it was only because there was no suitable chef who could restore them that it was never officially established.

Zhou Dong's potential is huge, and I also believe that he can fulfill his father's wishes, but now he is still too young, we should give him a time and space to grow. ”

Gu Yacheng sighed: "You must know that once the 'Ancient Capture Hall' is established, the huge pressure that Zhou Dong faces may not be something that a Chinese noodle king can bear, and those lost recipes may attract the greedy eyes of countless people."

I'm doing this for his good. ”

Gu Yanan frowned and said: "But we set up a hall on the seventeenth floor for Zhou Dong with great fanfare, so we can't make a lot of thunder and rain in the end, right? ”

"Simple, it's called 'Zhou's private cuisine', what he wants to do in this hall, how to set the rules are up to him, but the price should reflect the character of the private cuisine, which is also to lay a price foundation for the future 'ancient hall'.

The contract we signed with him is one year, and within this year, we have just judged Zhou Dong's potential more accurately through the business status of 'Zhou's Private Cuisine', so as to determine whether he is worthy of the old man's entrustment to those lost recipes!"

Gu Yacheng said with a smile: "You have to support me on this, although I am also very optimistic about Zhou Dong's future development, but the 'Ancient Capture Hall' is a major event that the old man has been concerned about for a full thirty years, and we must be cautious." ”

Gu Yanan pondered for a moment: "Okay, then I'll listen to you this time." By the way, brother, the competition system of the 'Xiangjiang International Food Competition' has changed, from the previous unit to participate in the competition, to the unit recommended chef to participate in the competition, I would like to recommend Zhou Dong to participate in the competition on behalf of our Kyushu Ding Food. ”

"Well, two months later, Zhou Dong will already be the head chef of Kyushu Ding Food, of course he has this qualification, but this matter is probably not so simple......"

Gu Yacheng thought for a while and said: "Among the eight chefs of Kyushu Ding Food, Shen Gongdao will definitely support Zhou Dong to participate in the competition, although the other seven chefs have good skills, it is estimated that they have no chance of entering the top ten, plus they are older and have stable incomes, so they should not have too many ideas about the competition."

But there is one person who will definitely not be convinced......"

Gu Yanan was stunned: "Could it be what you said?"

"Isn't that your best friend, the boss of 'Flower Knife'?"

Gu Yacheng said with a smile: "Although she is not the head chef, she is a well-known knife master in Su Province, it is said that if it weren't for her senior brother to be the head chef of Su cuisine, then the head chef of Su Chef would be her." It can be seen that she is not only good at knife skills.

Even I have heard of Boss Hua's fame, and they all say that she is a little pepper who is never convinced, do you think she will be convinced of Zhou Dong?"

"She, she's been waiting for the opportunity to compare with Zhou Dong for a long time......"

Gu Yanan sneered: "This can be regarded as a chance, but I am very much looking forward to her and Zhou Dong's 'battle'." Hmph, mysteriously all day long, even I don't know how much strength she has on the stove, this time I can finally see her true skills. ”

"Xiao Nan, as a manager, you must have the ability to seize all opportunities, the completion of the 'Ancient Capture Hall' is not possible with a genius alone, I hope that after this battle, your best friend can be convinced by Zhou Dong, and maybe you can assist Zhou Dong in the future and build a ...... of the 'Ancient Capture Hall'"

"Brother, can you not be so smart and wise every time, it seems that I am useless. ”

Gu Yanan's heart moved, why does her brother always take a step ahead of herself every time and take a longer view? This is too much of a blow to her confidence.

"Xiao Zhou, you mean you're leaving the early department?"

Liu Changqing looked at Zhou Dong blankly, full of grief and indignation in his heart.

This is all to blame on those white case chefs from all over the world, who have to choose Zhou Dong to be the 'king of Chinese noodles'! And that Lin Qing! What kind of bullshit article is written? The number of diners has increased a lot, but irrelevant guys have also flocked to the market because of this, and now the early department is unable to operate normally.

He can also understand the helpless choice made by Zhou Dong, the entrustment of his alma mater and the superior conditions offered by Kyushu Dingshi have made the young man in front of him have to do this, and he may even go faster!

"I'm not going to leave the early department completely, and I'm still going to launch my new products in the early department from time to time, and this frequency is about two or three times a month, right? ”

Zhou Dong said with a smile: "And I will try my best to teach some relatively easy to operate early to Master Zhang and the fat man, I believe that as long as they work hard, they can at least master a ** success, so that they can improve the strength of the early department as a whole." ”

"Yes, time can change everything. ”

Liu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When those guys stop, Xiao Zhou, you will go back to the early department, right?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult, I've promised my alma mater to officially sign a contract with Kyushu Dingshi, and what else do you want to be a chef, and you can't violate the contract and run to the early department casually.

So what I just said is probably the best result I can get, and I can't say what will happen when the contract expires. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go......"

Liu Changqing sighed again and again: "It's all my fault, I knew that I wouldn't let you do any 'Bazhen noodles', hey!"

Zhou Dong's arrangement can be regarded as a righteous and righteous act for the early ministry, and he can't say anything, but he feels sorry for his 'money'.

"I may be very sorry for the old customers who come often, so Mr. Liu, I will use the official account of the morning department to send a message to all the old customers today.

As a gift to everyone before I leave, the first 50 customers can choose one pastry and I promise they will eat it tomorrow.

However, I'm afraid they're coming in the afternoon, so let's take it as afternoon tea. ”

The task of the third death-free gold medal fragment has not yet been completed, and there are still more than thirty kinds of noodles left, Zhou Dong is ready to complete the task before leaving, and it will be overfulfilled, and fifty places are directly given.

The extra pastries should be regarded as gifts for these old customers, Zhou Dong is ready to fight!
