CH.67 Marcus's Troubles
Catherine was no longer surprised by the bickering between the two men. She turned her head and glared at Aine, who was about to refute, but she could only swallow the words that had come to her lips again, and at the same time looked at Zheng Ke depressedly.
But anyone can see that she has a stomach full of things to say, let alone Zheng Ke standing in front of her.
Zheng Ke ignored Anier's gaze and looked at Catherine in front of her, "What did you tell her?
"Hehe, you don't know that, do you? This night, I'm going to live with my sister. Ainele grimaced at Zheng Ke with a smug smile on her face.
Zheng Ke blinked, this little ghost, he still thinks about these things after losing the game.
Looking at the smug look on Ainier's face, Zheng Ke even wondered if Ainier had deliberately lost the game.
"You...... What's wrong with you?" Ainier looked at Zheng Ke, whose face was gloomy, and immediately became vigilant, "Sue ...... Tell you, I'm ...... I won't let you bully my sister. ”
Ha?
Zheng Ke couldn't cry or laugh, what is this little girl thinking?
Catherine's face also seemed to be coated with a layer of red powder, along the root of her ears and extended to her neck, she glared at Ainelle, and explained to Zheng Ke: "Ainelle has no place to live now, and let her and the others squeeze into bunk beds, she would rather sleep on the street." However, when the qualifying rounds are over, if her performance is okay, the school should arrange accommodation for her, which you don't have to worry about. ”
Zheng Ke only asked casually, but Catherine seemed to have misunderstood something.
"You came just in time, and if you come a little later, I might not be able to resist their challenge. Zheng Ke said.
"That idiot. Catherine rubbed her forehead, "Nothing but cause trouble." ”
"He seems to be a little afraid of you, though. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"Do you think that someone like him, even Anie, would be afraid of me?" said Catherine, pouting.
"But the way he looked just now was clearly afraid of you. Zheng Ke said curiously.
"As I said before, his house is a star restaurant, but our family has two three-star restaurants in Paris. He was also afraid that if he offended me, their family's business would be affected. ”
Hearing Catherine say this, Zheng Ke immediately understood that in the final analysis, David not only calculates the difference in personal strength, but also considers the strength behind the opponent.
"Are all the students of Lanji so mature?" Zheng Ke asked.
"No, my brother is more 'simple'. Catherine said earnestly.
"Your brother is not simple, he is too playful. However, he has his own business now, which is not bad, right? Speaking of your brother, after lunch, I'm going to go to him. ”
"Aren't you going to contact Chef tomorrow?" Catherine wondered.
"I'm going to prepare the ingredients in advance - haha, I'm going to officially open in Paris tomorrow, and I'm a little excited. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"Well, I'll try it tomorrow. Catherine nodded repeatedly.
"Then you're going early, I'm only going to make 10 dishes. Zheng Ke said.
Anier's eyes widened as she watched Zheng Ke and Catherine chatting happily, and she realized that she seemed to have missed something interesting.
……
Marcus sat behind his desk, picked up his pen, and quickly reviewed documents.
After he returned from the East, the time had already reached February.
As the head of the second year of Lanji Academy, he will be in charge of the third year of Lanji in the future, and he really has too many things.
Especially at this time, the promotion exam for the second year has just ended, and the qualifying competition for prestigious schools is also imminent.
Ticket sales, venue organising, school connections, food stocking, and finding judges and media.
Although most of the work is done by subordinates, as the person in charge, you still have to sign the document. In this process, it is inevitable to look at those documents carefully.
At this time, the person in charge of the first grade added another block to him, which made him depressed for several days.
After graduating from the third year, there are only the first and second years left in the Blue Circle Academy.
According to Marcus, because this is the first elite school qualifying competition, the safest way is to send the best five people in the second year to strive for good results in this qualifying competition.
However, the head of the first grade has taken the line of "sustainable development", claiming that for the "future" of the school, the first year students must also join.
The two of them argued, but neither could convince anyone, so they quarreled with the principal.
As a result, after listening to the speeches of the two people, the old principal chose to support the first-year students to participate in the competition, and asked Marcus to provide two places, which made Marcus feel distressed for a long time.
That's two places.
Now that the principal has made a decision, Marcus has no choice but to pin all his hopes on Catherine, hoping that she can have a good performance.
Of course, in a team event like this, the test is the average of five people. With just one or two people, there is no way to have the last laugh.
Marcus put down his pen and rubbed his temples, ready to take a break and give himself some time for coffee.
"Knock knock. ”
There was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in. ”
Marcus leaned back in his chair and looked at the door, and Orlens pushed the door in, still holding two papers.
"What's wrong?" asked Marcus.
"The results of the match between Aniele and David are in. ”
During this time, Orlens also incarnated as Marcus's assistant, responsible for some daily affairs.
"What's the result? Did Aynelle win?" Marcus immediately came to his senses.
"No, I lost. Orlens shrugged and placed a file on his desk.
Marcus picked up the file and glanced at it roughly. From the name of the dish, to the ingredients, to the judges' comments and signatures, we reviewed them one by one, and finally closed the documents.
"Anielle lost to Dale, hmph, the first-year guys have something to say again. Marcus frowned, and his tone was a little unkind.
Orlens smiled and said nothing, his main job was to be a teacher, both of whom were his students, and therefore, he was not very good at expressing his opinions and opinions.
"What's in your hand?" Marcus saw that Orlens had another document in his hand, probably forty or fifty pages thick.
"The results of the second-year promotion exam have also come down. Orlens said.
Marcus's eyes lit up, and he took the document and flipped through it quickly.
"The first place in the results, or Catherine, whether it is the written test or the practical operation, is far ahead of the second place. Orlens explained.
"What about Zheng Ke?" Marcus quickly checked the documents and did not find Zheng Ke's name in the first place.
"On the last page, the sixth place in the written test, the third place in the practical operation, and the fourth place in the comprehensive score. ”
Marcus quickly flipped to the last page and saw the comment above.
"With solid basic skills and high cooking skills and skills, even a person who has never eaten Chinese cuisine can taste the charm of oriental cuisine from the dishes. ”
Marcus saw this comment, and the depression of the last few days was somewhat relieved. Although these teachers don't seem to have a deep understanding of Huaxia cuisine, they at least let Zheng Ke pass the promotion exam in the second grade. For Marcus, that's enough.
