Gu Zhi's gaze slid over her and took the lead.

Dai Cheng followed him up the stairs, stepping on a velvet carpet printed with a daisy motif, through the brick-clad hallway into the tall, bright dining hall of the restaurant.

"Mr. Gu!"

As soon as he appeared, the people waiting in the hall stood up in a row, with faces from both the east and west, and respectfully bent down to greet Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhen hummed a "hmm" from his nose as if he was nothing, then turned around, and together with the others, he brushed his gaze to Dai Zhi.

Dai was slightly stunned, and then listened to Matthew answer her questions: "Miss Dai, these are the chefs of various Caprice restaurants." ”

Caprice, a subsidiary of TK Group, is a well-known chain of restaurants, with only 9 restaurants distributed across the country, and each of them operates a different cuisine, such as French, Italian, Japanese, Cantonese, Korean and so on. Of the 9 companies, 4 have been rated 3 Michelin stars, and the remaining 5 are also among the two stars, which is unique in the country.

"Hello everyone, I'm Alexa Dai, please advise." The people in front of him are all seniors, and Dai Zhi hurriedly offered the proper etiquette.

Matthew got Gu Qian's instructions and continued: "Miss Dai, that's the case. The purpose of this food competition is to select the chef of Caprice's 10th branch. Although you win the competition, according to tradition, you need to be unanimously agreed by other chefs to be eligible for official entry. ”

Even the assistant chefs at Caprice are carefully selected, and the requirements for the chef are even stricter. So far, there are 9 restaurants, and each chef has a place in the industry. In particular, each of them has at least 10 years of experience. In comparison, she is not convincing at all.

From the moment he decided to participate in the competition, Dai expected that everything would not go so smoothly. The battle ahead of us is a more challenging test than that day's race.

I don't know for what reason, she glanced at Gu Qian.

Gu Zhen was leaning sideways and talking softly to the two people next to him.

It's either that she doesn't realize that Gu Zhen has always been indifferent to her today, or she doesn't know if it's because of the disgust she showed for him when she was in the car yesterday, or because of the slap she threw at him, or something else.

It seems that she may have to readjust her handling of Gu Qian.

After a moment of silence, Dai Zhi nodded to Matthew: "I understand." ”

Matthew smiled: "Okay, Miss Dai, I'll take you to change your clothes." ”

"Hmm." Dai waited to follow Matthew to the locker room, and behind her, Gu Zhi's eyes seemed to sweep her back inadvertently.

By the time she came out in a chef's suit, the examiners were already waiting.

The kitchen is a good size, clean and tidy, and the serving window is designed as a semi-open glass. Through the glass, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared at her, and the pair that belonged to Gu Zhen was calm and waveless, and she couldn't see her emotions.

The way to do this is very simple, it is to use the ingredients available in the kitchen to make a specialty dish at will.

The ingredients are very abundant, almost everything, and Dai Zhi's gaze slowly wanders around, frowning thoughtfully. When she set it on the half-bucket overnight meal in the refrigerator, her eyes instantly burst into light.

In the end, she used only a bowl of overnight rice, an egg, a little chopped green onion, and only a small spoon of salt to the seasoning except for the oil.
