Without waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer, Manfeld spoke again.

Before this, my understanding of Chinese cuisine was still very shallow. But after seeing head chef Yuans personal cooking exhibition, I realized that Chinese cuisine is so varied and exquisite. Manfred said.

In fact, if one had to describe Chinese food, Manfeld and Auguste would be described as mysterious.

Mysterious actually referred to things that one did not understand. It was not a positive word, and was at most a neutral word.

Wu Hai translated their words to Yuan Zhou directly. After Yuan Zhou heard that, he immediately thought of his target, the G.o.d of Cooking.

The master chef naturally needed to be acknowledged by the entire cooking world. Yuan Zhou also recalled Zhou s.h.i.+jies words that Chinese cuisine wasnt valued internationally and thus was somewhat tempted.

Head chef Yuan, if youre willing to become the person-in-charge of the China famous chef Alliance, the Alliance will definitely cooperate with you.

Seeing that Yuan Zhou hadnt said anything yet, Manfeld continued and said as if he was making a promise.

This time, Manfeld handed over the formal invitation that they had agreed on the day before.

The invitation letter was placed in a leather envelope and sealed with wax. The seal of the famous chef Alliance was even printed on it. On the front, the words for personal use by Yuan Zhou were written in Chinese, French and English. It could be said to be very formal.

Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then took the invitation letter with both hands,Thank you. Ill consider it seriously and reply tomorrow.

Alright. I hope head chef Yuan will consider it seriously. This time, Manfeld didnt say much.

I will, Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Then, the two of them began to bid each other farewell and leave. However, when they reached the door, Auguste could not help but turn around and say,Hey, head chef Yuan, I would like to come over for lunch. Is that okay?

When he said this, the little old man Augustes face was full of antic.i.p.ation and pleading.

Of course. Those who come to eat are all my customers, Yuan Zhou said naturally.

Thank you so much. Ill definitely come earlier in the afternoon. Auguste happily pulled Manfeld away.

As a matter of fact, August specifically said that out of respect for Yuan Zhou. He didnt want Yuan Zhou to misunderstand that he was here to urge Yuan Zhou to make a decision.

Obviously, Yuan Zhou only replied that way because he understood what she meant.

As soon as August and Manfeld left, the three people from the green Chef society came in.

The members of the green Chef society happened to pa.s.s by Wu Hai. Wu Hai always knew his limits and would never inquire about anything other than Yuan Zhous delicacies. However, he was always very proactive in helping.

For Wu Hai, everything was for food.

Eating was the highest belief.

Back at the restaurant, the three members of the green Chef society were all dressed in suits. The only beautiful head secretary, Qin Kaili, was wearing a suit with gray and silver Palace-style b.u.t.tons. The other two were also wearing formal black suits, looking very meticulous.

As soon as the three of them entered the shop, they bowed and said seriously,h.e.l.lo, head chef Yuan,

Ive read your emails. I agree. Yuan Zhou didnt wait for the three people to speak and said directly.

As soon as he said that, the three people in front of Yuan Zhou were instantly dumbfounded. The long speech that they had prepared was directly stuck in their throats.

All of a sudden, the three of them didnt know if they should be happy or glad. The situation was very awkward.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didnt feel it. He was just waiting for them to issue the appointment letter.

In the end, the experienced vice guild leader Liao Yue was the first to snap out of his daze,Thank you, head chef Yuan, for accepting our invitation.

Liao Yue thanked her first, then turned to Qin Kaili and urged her to take out the invitation.

Only then did Qin Kaili come back to her senses. She immediately took out the doc.u.ments and invitation letter from the briefcase at the side. All of these required Yuan Zhous signature.

Head chef Yuan, please. Qin Kaili handed over the doc.u.ment and said respectfully.

Should I sign the contract with you now or in a few days? Yuan Zhou took the doc.u.ment and said.

The three of them looked at each other. Liao Yue said,if its convenient, its best to sign it now. Do you think thats okay?

Sure. With a nod, Yuan Zhou took Qin KailiS Pen again and then directly flipped the doc.u.ment over and signed it.

Yuan Zhou pressed the doc.u.ment with his slender hand and started to sign the doc.u.ment while holding the pen with his right hand.

The content of the doc.u.ment was similar to the email sent to Yuan Zhou. They were both very sincere content about the duties of the chairman.

Speaking of which, Yuan Zhous acceptance of the green Chef societys invitation had a lot to do with Zhou s.h.i.+jie.

The seven-minute phone call that Yuan Zhou received when he was preparing the ingredients had to be mentioned.

While Yuan Zhou was racing against time to prepare the ingredients for breakfast, Zhou s.h.i.+jies call came.

Chairman Zhou? Yuan Zhou looked at the ringing phone and got a little puzzled.

One should know that Zhou s.h.i.+jie would never look for Yuan Zhou in the morning. He loved Yuan Zhou as much as he loved his junior. He knew that Yuan Zhou was busy in the morning and would never call him at this time unless it was something important.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou picked up the phone after wiping his hands.

Good Morning, little Yuan. Sorry for disturbing your breakfast preparation. Zhou s.h.i.+jies voice sounded at the other end of the phone.

I have ten minutes of free time, so I dont have any. Yuan Zhou said.

Haha, youre still so honest. You must have squeezed it out from your own rest, right? then I wont say much and get straight to business. Zhou s.h.i.+jie smiled at first, then his tone became much more serious.

Yes, uncle Zhou. Yuan Zhou said.

Since you call me uncle Zhou, Ill naturally tell you about it. But I dont have much time today, so Ill give you a brief explanation. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.

Yes. Yuan Zhou answered.

I should have told you this earlier, but I always wanted to wait until your cooking skills improved. I didnt expect you to give this old man such a big surprise at the cooking exhibition, so I have to tell you now. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said with pride and worry.

However, before Yuan Zhou could answer this time, Zhou s.h.i.+jie continued,There must be a lot of people looking for you to join after your cooking exhibition. Little Yuan, you have to choose a few to join.

Thats how we are. We stick together in everything we do. Thats why we have this meeting and that organization. Of course, its fine if you didnt add it in the beginning. I didnt want you to be distracted either, but now is the time to add it.

Its just like the ancient Sichuan cuisine cultural research a.s.sociation. Some of the replicated ancient cooking skills can only be seen by the chefs who have joined. This is a rule set by everyone. Even I, the chairman of the chefs a.s.sociation, cant read it at will.

Theres also the China cooking culture transmission Inst.i.tute. There are many records of improving various major cuisines.

The chefs welfare guarantee a.s.sociation. Its also an organization that guarantees the rights and interests of our basic level chefs and gives us the benefits to ask for from the higher-ups. Such an organization is also indispensable.

Its also a method to ensure that our chefs inheritance doesnt go extinct, but its not a common method.

For example, we have carefully sealed the videos of your exchanges and only use the copies to watch at some conferences. This will also be the inheritance of our cooking culture in the future.

Zhou s.h.i.+jie said a lot of things in one breath and a.n.a.lyzed the pros and cons of joining the a.s.sociation for Yuan Zhou in detail.

Well, uncle Zhou, what do you think I should join? Thinking of the numerous invitation letters in his mailbox, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a headache and asked directly.

Ive selected all of them for you. Ill ask Zhong Lili to send them to you in the afternoon. As long as little yuan can be a director or an honorary Vice-President, itll be fine. I didnt give you the Qing chef a.s.sociation. They came here by themselves. Those who join the Qing chef a.s.sociation are all young chefs. The situation is different. You can consider whether you want to be their President or not. Zhou s.h.i.+jie was always so attentive to Yuan Zhou.

Alright, thank you, uncle Zhou. Yuan Zhou said.

Then, Zhou s.h.i.+jie hung up the phone. The situation of the green Chef society was indeed different. One should know that in the systems view, Yuan Zhou had skipped being the most well-known chef in the country and became well-known in Asia.

Forget about the China chefs Alliance. After all, they had the qualifications. However, the green chefs a.s.sociation was made up of young people. They didnt have the qualifications. Who else could it be besides Yuan Zhou?

It was like the president of the China Basketball a.s.sociation was not Yao Ming. It was impossible.

Even an honorary chairman or a vice-chairman wouldnt be able to convince the ma.s.ses. The chairman of the green Chef society had to be Yuan Zhou.

This was the reason why they came immediately after the exhibition.

It was also because of Zhou s.h.i.+jies introduction that Yuan Zhou had a general idea of the situation. That was why he agreed to become the chairman so quickly.
