It stands to reason that they will only know the score of today's game at about half past three in the afternoon, but the news brought by Bao Ruwen is that they have already got their score.

Su Ruotong's face was not ordinary solemn, and asked Bao Ruwen: "Master Bao, where did you get the news of the score?" ”

Bao Ruwen wiped the sweat from his forehead: "I changed my clothes and came out just now, and I met a judge, who lived on the same floor with us." The judge still had an impression of me, stopped me from talking, and said that our scores were not very ideal, so that we should be mentally prepared. ”

At this moment, many people in the room were stunned.

Obviously, the four groups of players in the team competition, when they all finished the game, except for the group of infighting, the remaining two teams only made all the preparations in the early stage and were about to start the process, why did their scores be low?

This doesn't make sense.

"Boss Su, the judge is still waiting, why don't you come with me and talk to him. Bao Ruwen was also very anxious.

The matter was serious, Su Changqing naturally didn't care about the interview, and Su Ruotong also walked out with Su Changqing and Bao Ruwen, leaving the reporter in the house.

The door of a room in the opposite hallway was wide open, apparently the room where the judge Bao Ruwen said lived.

After entering the door, I saw a man in his forties in a pearl gray suit sitting in the room, and a faint aroma of hawthorn honey water could be smelled in the air.

The man's face was very serious, he nodded to Su Changqing, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Li Weining, I am the judge of this competition, I have been in and out of the hotel in the past few days, and I know you." ”

Su Changqing immediately stepped forward to shake hands with him: "Hello Mr. Li, my name is Su Changqing, this is the chef of my hotel, Bao Ruwen, this is the little girl Su Ruotong." ”

"You're here to inquire about the scores. Li Weining rubbed his eyebrows, looking very tired: "I don't have much information to reveal to you, but I like your cooking skills very much, if you are brushed out of the competition because of some factors that are not on the stage, it will be a pity." ”

Hearing Li Weining's words, Su Changqing sighed in his heart, Li Weining didn't say much, but the amount of information contained in it was very large, obviously, this competition was not as simple as they imagined.

He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, please give me some advice, we are from Zhejiang Province, to be honest, the chefs participating in the competition here are basically all from Beijing, and many things are really unclear." ”

"Let's put it this way!" Li Weining glanced at Su Changqing deeply: "There are still three hours before the results of the game are announced, you guys are still going to find someone now, it's still too late." ”

Li Weining has always been a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, so originally the competition party chartered a luxury suite for all the judges in the hotel under the charter, and the conditions are much better than here, but if he lives there, there will definitely be many contestants who come to "visit", and even the judges will impose some so-called voting kidnapping on each other, so he simply lives alone.

But what he didn't expect was that he could meet a group of team players here.

Originally, he had a bad impression of Su Changqing and Bao Ruwen, because the first time they met, he guessed their identities from their conversations, and at the same time heard Su Changqing and Bao Ruwen discuss the matter of buying academic qualifications for the chefs below, and immediately became disgusted with them.

But it's useless for him to love talents, and the rest of the judges don't eat Bao Ruwen's set.

This time, as Tao Xian investigated before, the four groups of players in the team competition will finally win one group to represent Huaxia in international competitions, and among these four groups, the team players who returned from the neon country to open a restaurant have a political background, and the remaining two groups are all children of traditional culinary families, who came out to open a restaurant in the capital. After all the calculations, only Bao Ruwen has no background.

There are many chefs in the world, but they can be top-notch, come and go, that is, there are so many people, so many restaurants, and the circle is small. In this case, no matter how delicious Su Ruotong's cooking is, it is useless, and they will still lose to the relationship.

Li Weining looked at the score coldly, although the scores they got by Su Ruotong and them were not low before, but the scores of the next few groups of related team players were even higher than those of Su Ruotong and them, which was unscientific.

Especially the group of players who returned from the Neon Country, they obviously had infighting at the beginning of the game, and several dishes were even worse later, but the score they got was ranked first, which made Li Weining's heart feel like a thorn.

However, he also understands that this is the situation in China now, and the only thing he hopes for is that Su Ruotong and they may also have a backer.

Su Changqing's face was pale, knowing that Li Weining could say so much, he was already very kind to them, and thanked Li Weining for a while.

When he went out, Bao Ruwen was also sad.

Su Ruotong said: "I'll call Brother Tao Xian." ”

Su Changqing was a little hesitant, although he seemed to have a good relationship with Tao Xian now, he had already extinguished his thoughts of looking for Tao Xian to help again, he didn't want to become the kind of person who "fights Mien and promotes Mi hatred" in people's mouths, not to mention, if Tao Xian temporarily drops the chain like last time, who will they talk to.

When he was still searching his intestines and stomach, thinking about any acquaintances in the capital, Su Ruotong had already dialed Tao Xian's phone.

Tao Xian still has a bottle and a half of water to hang, and his high fever is temporarily controlled, but he is still embarrassed, leaning on the chair without energy.

"Tongtong, are you out after the game? It's still early on my side, I just asked the nurse that I can't finish at half past two. Tao Xian said.

"Brother Tao Xian, we met a judge just now, he said that our score is very low, let's be mentally prepared, before the results are announced at half past three in the afternoon, we can find a relationship. Su Ruotong said.

"What?" Tao Xian's hand shook, and he almost stood up, pulling a tingling pain on the back of his hand on the side of the infusion, and he actually took the needle again: "You wait." ”

This time, he didn't even call the nurse, hung up the phone, directly ripped off the needle on the back of his hand, pressed the eye of the needle, and walked out.

Su Ruotong listened to the busy tone on the phone, and said to Su Changqing: "Brother Tao Xian told us to wait." ”

Su Changqing pinned his hopes on Tao Xian's side at all, raised his head slowly, and said, "I remember! We really know people in the capital." Do you remember when we met Hao Fuqi in New York? His uncle seems to be a member of the board of directors of the Huaxia Restaurant Association, and if we want to clear up the relationship, we must find someone from Hao Lianhong's uncle. ”

Su Ruotong knew that after Su Changqing came back from New York, he didn't cut off contact with Hao Lianhong, and if the restaurant came up with something new, it happened to be able to be mailed out, he would also send a copy to Hao Lianhong. Hao Lianhong's side, naturally, also reciprocated, and in just a short period of time, the relationship between the two families has become very good.

Now it is right to ask Hao Lianhong for help.

Su Ruotong said: "Then let's try Uncle Hao's side again." ”

After a while, Hao Lianhong knew the situation, so he gave his uncle's phone number to Su Changqing, and personally told his uncle about it. When Su Changqing called, Hao Lianhong's uncle over there didn't say anything official, and told Su Changqing about the matter in detail.

"Xiao Su, I heard Lian Hong talk about you, I also know your father, your Su family's cooking skills, if you want me to say, this rookie will win the first place, it will be easy. On the other end of the phone, a voice came from an old but very energetic voice: "But this time it's troublesome." The Songhe Mingyue Building, which was opened in the spring of last year, the boss, called Xiao Zhu, learned in the neon cooking school, and also opened a restaurant there, when he returned to China, he attracted a group of Chinese chefs who were good in neon to return to China, and later recruited a group of old craftsmen, cooking, so-so. But he has a backstage in his house! Qiao Pingshan, you know, right? This Xiao Zhu is the cousin of Qiao Pingshan's daughter-in-law! Although the relationship is a little farther away, it is still covered. If it were a different year, it would be forgotten, but this year, Qiao Pingshan is really in the limelight, and within our association, after listening to the news from there, it is not a matter of opinion. You guys, or just bear with it, I'll be in charge next year, and I'll give you a team spot in the rookie competition!"

Listening to this news, Su Changqing felt bad in his heart!

Su Ruotong could also hear the voice on the phone, and the cold color of her face gradually became heavier and heavier.

It's Qiao Pingshan again!

The name has been ringing in her ears a little too often lately.

The Qiao family's impact on the Hanmei Research Institute before, because it didn't cause any big repercussions, Su Ruotong didn't make any response for the time being, considering that he couldn't hit the stone with an egg, but this Qiao family is getting more and more excessive.

When Su Changqing hung up the phone in despair, Su Ruotong said, "Dad, there may be room for redemption." ”

Su Changqing smiled reluctantly at Su Ruotong, this child is still too young, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they don't know how deep the water is. Isn't it just a competition, he can afford to wait, and Hao Lianhong's uncle said that he will give them a place in the competition next year, and if he waits for a year, what is it.

But no matter how he comforted himself in his heart, Su Changqing always felt that there was a breath in his chest, and unconsciously, he was already different from the self who swallowed his anger back then.

Even so, he still smiled and comforted Su Ruotong: "Tongtong, it's okay! Not this year, there is a second year." Our restaurant is such a small face in the capital, if we take the championship this time, there are too many people who come to eat, and we will squeeze the storefront like this! Yes, hahahaha! It's better to do this, let's treat it as a tourist this year, and by the way, expand the Beijing branch, and come to a big one next year, are you confident?"
