Chapter 685: Gourmet
A year later, a slender figure appeared at the door of the Paris airport, which immediately attracted a lot of people's side eyes. Such a temperament is like a star, but this woman's face is beautiful and has the charm of a young woman, but she has never appeared in front of the media. For fashion-conscious Parisians, although this woman's outfit is not particularly outstanding, the just right low-key embellishment shows that this woman's good taste.
In the office of President Lin's family, Yuan Linkai pinched the phone that he hadn't thought about a year ago, and fell into deep thought, not knowing how she was doing now.
"Mr. Yuan, the gourmand we got in touch with has returned to Paris." The assistant reported to Yuan Linkai.
"You're talking about Whalen?" Yuan Linkai put down his phone and returned to his location to search for information about the legendary gourmet.
"Yes, she promised to give us half an hour tomorrow, saying that she would leave Paris after that." The assistant said to Yuan Linkai and left the office.
Yuan Linkai looked at Hui Lun's information, there was no specific information about this person in any report, and even men and women were unknown. I only know that this person quickly became popular at a tasting meeting half a year ago, and after the dishes he tasted, she would give sharp suggestions. And these suggestions, without exception, will make the new dish very popular. A fundamental food magazine under the Lin family is currently facing a crisis, and Lin's father attaches great importance to this magazine and must ask Yuan Linkai to save this magazine.
For a food magazine, there is nothing better than having this Whalen come and give an interview, which can not only improve the quality of the magazine, but also cause a certain effect. It is said that this Whalen has never been interviewed, and I don't know why, but this time he is willing to cooperate with their sweet tooth magazine.
In City C, Jiang Jueli was enjoying lunch. Since his serious illness, many of his habits have reverted to the point where he didn't know Shen Shi. For example, he will eat in a fixed restaurant, for example, he has a fixed request for the dishes. In order to meet his own requirements, Jiang Jueli has also developed a lot of restaurant industry as a new expansion project of Chenlou.
I don't know if people's living standards are getting higher and higher, so their mouths are getting more and more tricky, or the competition in the market is really getting more and more fierce. Many of Chenlou's restaurants have been sidelined, and their turnover has dropped significantly. In this momentum, many directors risked being reprimanded by Jiang Jueli and resolutely asked to abandon these restaurants.
Although Jiang Jueli has also analyzed it, he feels that these restaurants do not have great prospects. But I don't know why, Jiang Jueli is just unwilling to give up these restaurants, and has to find a way to save these restaurants.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard that a famous gourmand Whalen has arrived in Paris, should we invite her to our restaurant for a tasting?" Xiao Lin respectfully suggested to Jiang Jueli, since Jiang Jueli woke up, he naturally returned to the position of assistant. Outsiders looked at Xiao Lin and felt that he had been beaten back to his original form, and felt sorry for him. Only he knows how difficult it is to control such a large collective, and when he returns to the position of assistant, he really can't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"Let's make an appointment, then." Jiang Jueli still looks high, which makes Xiaolin miserable.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm afraid this Hui Lun is not easy to invite, I really don't have to invite it." Xiao Lin cried with a sad face, very helpless.
"Then forget it, Chenlou doesn't have to be such a person to support the field to change." Jiang Jueli let Xiao Lin out with an irrefutable tone, and Xiao Lin didn't know who Hui Lun was at that time, if he knew, he would probably get it.
As soon as he got into the taxi, Shen Shi's mobile phone rang, and it was Doudou and Guoguo calling. In order not to let Guoguo be lonely, Shen Shi fostered Doudou and Guoguo into the same family, and Doudou could accompany Guoguo every day after school.
"Mom!" When Guoguo saw Shen, she immediately cried and shouted.
"Guoguo, what are you crying about, what's wrong?" When Shen Shi heard Guoguo's cry, his heart immediately wrinkled, and he asked softly.
"My brother bullied me, I asked him to call his mother, but he refused, it was for hours!" Guoguo sobbed and complained to Shen Shi. Doudou heard it, and the black lines in his head were full. Shen Shi had just gotten off the plane, and of course she couldn't get through on the plane, so how could she bully her.
"Guoguo is good, it's not my brother who bullied you, it's my mother who just couldn't get a call on the plane!" Shen Shi comforted Guoguo.
"Really?" Guoguo asked, with a lot of disbelief.
"Of course, how could Mom lie to you." Shen Shi arrived at the place, gave the driver money and got out of the car, and walked into the Sweets Magazine, but Guoguo still didn't hang up the phone.
"Mom, I miss you, you haven't been back for two weeks, when will you come back?" Guoguo sprinkled and asked.
"Mom will be back today, so it's okay to pick you up and see Uncle Yuan then." Shen Shi comforted Guoguo. "Okay, Guoguo, can you give the phone to my brother!"
Guoguo reluctantly gave the phone to Doudou, Doudou took the phone, Guoguo still looked at him resentfully, and his ears were close to him, so he had to listen.
"Doudou, Mom is coming back a little later today. If it's too late, you can coax your sister to sleep first, and your mother will make you breakfast tomorrow. Shen Shi said and kissed the phone, and then hung up the phone.
Yuan Linkai was already waiting a little impatient in the conference room, and said that this person couldn't give face, and it was true.
"Jason, when will Hui Lun arrive, such an unpunctual person, does he deliberately want to put on a score or is he just so uneducated!" Yuan Linkai looked at his watch very unhappily and knocked on the table, the magazine did not have to rely on a gourmand to turn the tables, at most five minutes, he must not wait.
"Mr. Yuan, this ......" Jason knew his boss's temper, and he was also puzzled how this gourmet, who has always had a good reputation, was so late for so long. It's been twenty minutes, and that's a big no-no.
"Why is Mr. Yuan still so angry, aren't you afraid of being in such a hot weather and getting on fire in a hurry!" A familiar voice came, and even if he hadn't seen the person yet, Yuan Linkai knew who this person was in an instant. Yuan Linkai stood up from his position with a swish, Jason was really nervous, and thought that the boss was going to get angry. Who knew that Yuan Linkai's hand was clenched, but there was surprise and irrepressible happiness in his eyes.
"It's been a long time, Yuan Linkai." When Shen Shi appeared in front of Yuan Linkai with a smile, Yuan Linkai really felt that this was not a dream, Shen Shi really came back.
Shen Shi stretched out his hand, but there was no response, as if he was a little disappointed, when Shen Shi wanted to withdraw his hand. Yuan Linkai shook Shen Shi's hand violently, and then pulled Shen Shi into his arms.
Everyone had never seen Yuan Linkai have such a gaffe in public, and they were all taken aback and looked at each other.
"Yuan Linkai, this is the conference room!" Shen Shi didn't want to push Yuan Linkai away directly, and said in a low voice.
Yuan Linkai realized his gaffe and immediately let go of Shen Shi. Then he saw everyone's surprised expressions with his peripheral vision, and immediately said in English: "I didn't expect that the famous Hui Lun turned out to be my long-lost old friend, although there is a bit of a gaffe, but compared to Miss Hui Lun, it can be understood." Yuan Linkai said, made a gesture of invitation, and asked Shen Shi to sit down.
"Of course not, Mr. Yuan is polite." Shen Shi also resumed his polite attitude and said.
When everyone heard that these two people turned out to be old friends, it seems that cooperation is not a big problem. No wonder Hui Lun would agree to the interview with Sweets, it turned out that the two had known each other for a long time. Some people also feel that looking at Yuan Linkai's expression just now, the two are not like ordinary old friends, but like lovers after a long absence. However, looking at Hui Lun's attitude towards Yuan Linkai, he is not overly intimate.
The two sides made some determinations on the content and time of the interview, and Yuan Linkai originally said that he would personally participate, but at this time he had no heart to think about this. From the moment he saw Shen Shi, he didn't care about cooperation anymore. What he cares about is what Shen Shi has experienced this year, why she became a gourmet, where she put her children, and many other questions.
Sensing that Yuan Linkai had a lot of questions, Shen Shi quickly ended the exchange, and only hastily settled on some basic things, saying that he would talk about it next time. The sweet-toothed man looked at Yuan Linkai, the boss obviously looked absent-minded, so he exited the conference room with great interest.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I just got off the plane and I arrived before I had breakfast. It's almost 11 o'clock, won't Mr. Yuan invite me to dinner? Shen Shi pointed to his watch.
Yuan Linkai smiled, made a very happy expression, and led Shen Shi out of the door.
The employees of Sweet Tooth rarely saw Yuan Linkai haunting the magazine, which was already very unexpected. This time, Mr. Yuan not only came, but also left quite intimately with a beautiful woman. You must know that Mr. Yuan, who has a heart of flowers, has been in charge of the Lin family since he took over a year ago, and it is almost like a woman approaching him by mistake, and ordinary women have no way to get within two meters of him. But this time, Mr. Yuan was obviously trying to take the initiative to get close to that beauty, which was too rare.
The two were eating and chatting. Originally, Yuan Linkai really had a lot of questions, but looking at Shen Shi's hungry expression, many questions were not asked. After all, there is still a lot of time in the future.
In fact, since Shen Shi had already appeared, he didn't want to hide anymore. In France, the Sweets Magazine is the last stop, and then she is ready to return to China. She had already heard that Jiang Jueli had taken over Chenlou for a long time, and she must have recovered a long time ago, and it was time for her to return to him.
