Chapter 228: Unwritten Rules

Shen Yu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, if you need any money, just ask me." ”

The tea-making competition is imminent, and Zhou's mother's matter has to be put aside for the time being. Shen Yu placed two eyeliners in Shen's house through Lotus Fragrance to pay close attention to Zhou's mother's situation.

Five days before the competition, Shen Yu packed up her salute and prepared to go to the provincial capital.

Shen Yu's tea art is unmatched in the Sheng family, and she has been preparing for several months in order to participate in this competition, and all the materials, including the water and cups for making tea, have already been prepared.

This time it will take ten days to go out, Shen Yu has never left the Sheng family for so long, she is not worried about the two children in the family, so she left Hexiang and Furong behind.

Before leaving, she carefully advised, "Hexiang takes care of Xu'er, and Furong takes care of Gu Yu." You are all my intimate people, the young masters' affairs must be done by themselves, and I can't trust anyone else. If there is any situation, immediately go to Steward Xie and ask him to find a way to inform me and the second master. ”

The two said in unison: "Don't worry, grandma." ”

Sheng Jinxu and Gu Yu are Shen Yu's hearts, and it is the trust of the master to get such a trust, and both of them are determined to do things well.

The two most intimate people stayed, and Shen Yu only brought Sheng Yun'er to the provincial capital.

Hexiang is the eldest girl of Fuyunju, she represents Shen Yu's mouth and eyes, Sheng Yun'er is young, but she has the surname of the Sheng family, and no one dares to snub her.

She is also a diligent girl, careful and fast-hearted, often Shen Yu didn't expect that she had already done things well.

Soon after settling into the hotel, a guest arrived.

Qin Shaoxiang is a self-cook, he ordered a steak at the hotel where Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing were staying, and sat on the sofa in the lobby to eat it.

Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing were about to go out to eat, Qin Shaoxiang sat on the sofa and beckoned to them, "Why did you come out, I'm hungry." ”

Sheng Yanqing greeted him, "I booked a place at a nearby restaurant, do you want to go and eat a little together?" ”

Qin Shaoxiang looked like he couldn't ask for it, "What did you order, is it British or French?" ”

It was easy to leave the Sheng family, and Shen Yu still wanted to be alone with Sheng Yanqing for a while, she said with a disgusted face: "If you have anything to say, just say it now, we only booked a seat for two people." ”

"I really have something to do with you, why don't we talk while we eat?" Qin Shaoxiang didn't seem to understand what Shen Yu meant.

Shen Yu still looked disgusted, standing still and refusing to leave, Qin Shaoxiang said mysteriously: "It's about the tea-making competition, gossip." ”

"Okay then." Shen Yu shrugged, her face drooping.

Sheng Yanqing knew the relationship between the two, but he didn't care, seeing Shen Yu pulling his face, he comforted him in a low voice, "I also bought a movie ticket, and we'll go to eat dessert in a while." ”

Shen Yu took Sheng Yanqing's hand, "Okay." ”

Halfway through the meal, Qin Shaoxiang took out a note and handed it to Sheng Yanqing, "There are ten judges in this tea-making competition, this is the address and phone number of all the judges, you know what I mean, right?" ”

Sheng Yanqing put the note away, "Thank you, when the game is over, let's get together again." ”

Qin Shaoxiang winked at Shen Yu, "Did you hear it, we'll get together after the game!" ”

Shen Yu clenched her fists, if it weren't for the fact that this person was most likely her brother, she would never have eaten with such a frivolous rich kid.

Seeing Qin Shaoxiang away, Shen Yu and Sheng Yanqing walked hand in hand on the streets of Tongcheng.

The night in the city is brightly lit up with lights, and there is a faint sound of music, which is the accompaniment of the ballroom.

Shen Yu raised her head and asked, "What did you mean by what you said just now?" ”

Sheng Yanqing looked at her gently and said, "It's nothing, you have to move before the game, this is an unwritten rule." We came early for this. ”

Shen Yu hugged Sheng Yanqing's arm, and she leaned lightly on him, "I thought that the competition held by foreigners was different, so there would still be a lot of unfairness." ”

Sheng Yanqing is a humble gentleman who is as gentle as jade, and he is also gentle in front of Shen Yu, but he has been in the shopping mall for many years and knows the truth.

He said: "Not necessarily, there are ten people in the judges, and most foreigners are fair and impartial, and they will not accept any money." But there are a few who will receive gifts privately, and we are also taking precautions. If everyone else sends it, and we don't send it, we may lose a key vote. ”

Shen Yu said: "Listen to you." ”

The two of them went to the movies, and when they were finished, they happened to see a few foreigners coming out of the movie theater talking and laughing.

Shen Yu had learned English, and when she heard them talking about tea leaves and competitions while walking, she listened curiously to one more ear.

A blonde woman said: "This competition has been strictly screened in the early stage, and I hope to find a really good tea supplier, and there must be no cheating." ”

Shen Yu was secretly happy in her heart, it turned out that foreigners were also looking for suppliers, which was exactly what she wanted.

A man in a tuxedo said: "Don't worry, the role of our inspection team is to prevent cheating, this time we will definitely investigate strictly, once it is found, the quota will be directly eliminated, and from now on, all businesses will no longer consider them." ”

Soon, those foreigners mixed in with the flow of people, and Shen Yu didn't follow anymore.

"Inspectorate?" Shen Yu said to herself, does this mean that bribery of judges is not allowed. If you find out, you will not only lose your qualification from the competition, but also damage your reputation.

Of course, most of the participating suppliers are shopping mall veterans, and everyone will think of getting through the relationship in advance. The so-called law does not hold the public accountable, and it may not be investigated by the inspection team at that time.

Shen Yu has been thinking about the inspection team, and she is a little absent-minded when she eats.

After thinking all the way, when she returned to the hotel, she said to Sheng Yanqing: "Just now in the cinema, I heard someone discussing the tea making competition, saying that this time there will be an inspection team set up by foreigners themselves, and I think this time may be different from the past." ”

Sheng Yanqing was also keenly aware of something, "I'll go and verify the situation tomorrow, and I'll hold my ground first." ”

The establishment of the inspection team was carried out in secret, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and Sheng Yanqing soon got the news.

He asked Shen Yu, "The inspection team is all foreigners, how do you know?" ”

Shen Yu smiled mysteriously, "Grapevine, I won't tell you why for the time being." ”

In this era, studying abroad in Tongcheng has just emerged, the first batch of people to study abroad have not returned, and there are not many people who can speak English.

Shen Yu naturally wouldn't tell Sheng Yanqing that she had traveled over in the 21st century and had learned English.

It is an exclusive resource to know some gossip before the game, but Sheng Yanqing decided to tell the contestants about the inspection team.
