261 Stab in the back
Thank you for your encouragement, and thank you for your friend Fen Di, Wanderer, Broken Dream, and 404 monthly ticket for encouragement
Lao Liu's sleep quality at night was very poor, and the influence of jet lag also showed concern for the coffee competition.
After talking to Du Jianing yesterday, I learned that today's day will be done together with the semi-finals and finals. In other words, today is the decisive moment to decide the fate.
Actually, this is also very understandable.
There were 12 players in the semi-finals, which is not as many as in the preliminaries. These players came to the last round, and there was already a rough comparison. And then these six players are selected, and then there is another round, which can compress a lot of time.
It can be said that the schedule of this competition is still quite harsh, and many people have been eliminated in the preliminaries.
"Daddy, eat, it's delicious. ”
Xiao Miaomiao saw Lao Liu Guang poking at the plate, picked up a small snack and handed it over. Lao Liu glanced at his baby girl and directly bit the snack into his mouth.
The little guy was so happy, he looked beautiful, grabbed the breakfast intestine and took a big bite.
"Brother Liu, didn't you sleep well?" Wang Shasha asked with a smile.
Lao Liu nodded, "I don't know why, I always feel a little worried today." Hey, I'm too nervous. It's not me who is competing, so I'm so nervous. ”
"Brother Liu, isn't it good, they are all in the semifinals. In fact, if you make an appearance in the semi-finals, you will have completed the task. Wang Shasha said.
"Isn't that it, it's just because I saw Crane yesterday that I was nervous. Lao Liu shook his head.
As the old saying goes, say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. As soon as he finished speaking, Crane led two of his henchmen into the dining room.
You don't have to think much to know that this must be another disgusting Lao Liu. But there is no way, this is a public place, and there is no way to kick him out. The hotel where Crane lives is definitely not this one, and he can still rush here for breakfast, why is it not clear?
Fortunately, because this was a restaurant, Crane smiled at him at most, and didn't really come to harass him.
Lao Liu also didn't have time to take care of him, so he hugged his daughter after breakfast, and rushed directly to the game site.
"Boss, barista from Huaxia, should we target it?" asked Crane's number one attendant, Steven.
Crane glanced at him, "I really don't know why you're so stupid. Are we really strong enough to do anything in such a competition? And for baristas from China?"
"Move your pig brain, it's just a matter of passing the qualifiers. Do you still think she has a chance of making it through the semi-finals?"
"Although Huaxia's economy has developed rapidly in recent years, they started too late in the process of coffee brewing, where are there so many talents. ”
"Steven, think about why we did this. When you really think it through, you will go to a higher position in the future. If you're not sure, you'll have to leave on your own when this mission is over. I want an assistant, not an echo worm who needs my guidance at all times and only knows how to nod his head. ”
Steven nodded nervously, but he was a little annoyed in his heart.
Just now, I was making a suggestion, but if you don't accept it, forget it, and now you are threatening yourself with your own work. If it weren't for the fact that Sunshine Company has a very strict promotion management system and a good salary, he really wants to leave directly.
Crane wiped his mouth, but didn't care what Steven thought. It doesn't matter if they finish eating or not, they just get up and leave.
Comrade Liu, who rushed to the scene of the game here, is now excited. first called Jeon Joo-yeon and beckoned to her, which was considered to be the end of the greeting. Then we walked to the pour-over coffee competition venue, Hank's side was the big one.
It's just that now Lao Liu doesn't dare to wander around the venue casually, this place is ready. Now is the player's rest time, and he can only hold Xiao Miaomiao and watch here.
The atmosphere at the scene was not the same as reading the report. There are so many cameras and so many reporters here, and the presence of these people has already brought out the atmosphere.
This is a real professional-level arena, anyway, in Lao Liu's opinion, he can't wait to go down and follow the whole round.
The rules of the competition are very simple, after the first player starts the game, the second player has fifteen minutes to prepare. The whole game is 15 minutes, and you can end it early. However, if you run out of time, you will be deducted points.
Although I have heard Du Jianing and Hank talk about the general process of the game, this is also a little different from watching it live.
Anyway, he doesn't know the current players, so he just follows and watches the fun. Crane came to his side and sat down very shamelessly.
Lao Liu really didn't bother to take care of him, he really didn't expect him to be such an annoying person.
Fifteen minutes may feel like a long time, but when you're actually here, you realize that it's gone before you know it.
Every barista has a different philosophy, and in the process of explaining, he will also thoroughly explain his understanding of coffee. For Lao Liu, a person who only knows how to fur, today is a real big scene.
It's really not just about brewing a cup of coffee, it's risen to the height of art. The baristas' movements are so standard and smooth, and in this standard and fluency, they have their own special brewing skills.
Lao Liu really wanted to replace those judges and taste it in person.
Because the water used by these baristas seems to be specially prepared. It's not like he casually takes the water and flushes it when it's hot.
When it was Hank's turn, Lao Liu was even more satisfied. Hank is relaxed and confident. In his senses, this is a very great general's demeanor.
Anyway, after Hank was finished, he gave a warm applause.
"Mr. Simon, congratulations, maybe Hank will make it to the finals. Crane poked his head in.
Lao Liu didn't pay attention to him at all. Because Hank is followed by Du Jianing's performance, this is also very important.
Crane glanced ahead, pouting and shaking his head. As he understood, if it is compared to the overall strength of the country and the military industry, the current China is very strong. But if it's better than brewing coffee?
There were a lot of contestants, but the time passed quickly. Whether it is Lao Liu or Wang Shasha, they have focused all their attention on these baristas who are standing in front of the competition area again.
This is a process of the competition, and it is also a matter of respect for every barista. The results of each of them will not be announced, only the names of those who have advanced to the finals.
Lao Liu was really nervous, even more nervous than the baristas standing in front of him.
As the staff reads out the name, a line of words will be typed on the screen next to it, clearly indicating the barista's name and nationality.
When the third one read Hank's name, Lao Liu almost jumped up. It's the final, and Hank really made it to the final. As long as you take your own coffee beans and walk around them, your coffee beans will be famous. If Hank can finish in the top three, his coffee bean's fame will rattle.
Before he was happy, the staff announced the name of the last person selected for the finals, which was Du Jianing.
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then stood up with Xiao Miaomiao in his arms. The legs have stepped out, and I really want to rush off the field to celebrate with Du Jianing.
Last year's Du Jianing was very unlucky, and he was not even selected for the semifinals. And this year, they all reached the finals.
For this news, Du Jianing was also stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face became very excited. This also means that she has reached the top six in the world ranking this year.
"Simon, aren't you happy and excited? Not only did Hank make it to the finals, but your compatriots made the cut. Crane asked with a smile.
"Of course, I'm Crane, what the hell did you do?"
After saying half of the words happily, Liu Wenrui became vigilant.
Because the smiling expression on Crane's face now is really too flat. How could he congratulate himself so sincerely?
"Haha, Simon, I'll tell you better news. Simon said with a smile.
"Hank is very confident in this contest and will use your farm's coffee beans for the last game as agreed with you. But because your beans are so bad, he can only finish sixth. ”
And in the interview after the game, he will also be very annoyed and say that he should not agree to your request. You should stick to your choice and keep the coffee competition rigorous and fair. ”
Liu Wenrui was stunned, and looked at Hank, who was also looking here on the stage. In an instant, he understood.
No wonder he was a little uncomfortable when he saw Hank last night. Perhaps he had already made a deal with Crane when he returned to the United States. Whether it's Crane's coercion or temptation, Hank now not only wants to help Crane pit himself, but also step on himself.
As you can imagine, when a barista says he chose the wrong coffee beans. The reason why I chose this coffee bean is because I am doing my friend a favor. At that time, no one would blame him, but thought that the beans were really bad.
I will also get my wish, and my coffee beans are really "famous". It's just that this reputation is probably even more stinky than in the cupping competition in Africa.
This feeling of betrayal was very bad, and he really felt that he could talk to Hank. I really didn't expect that he would stab himself in the back.
"Simon, isn't it a surprise?" said Crane with a smile, then looked at Stephen again, "See? ”
