Chapter 641 - Provocation In Yuan Zhou’s (1/2)

At 9 a.m. on the 10th of Jan, Yuan Zhou put on his Han Chinese Clothing which was suitable for cooking and directly went to the floor where the meeting place was via elevator.

After a sound of “Ding”, the door of the elevator was automatically opened. And a lot of people were crowding by the door.

Only then did Yuan Zhou find that two red carpets were extended from the elevator to the entrance of the meeting place and there were red carpets at both the front door and back door.

The meeting place looked both gorgeous and dignified. At both sides of the red carpets were crowds of people. All of them were cameramen that carried various cameras and reporters.

They were scattered at both sides of the red carpets and constantly took photos of the chefs that walked into the main hall. The flashing of lights was very strong.

“Hoo…”, Yuan Zhou subconsciously straightened his back and walked across the red carpets into the entrance of the main hall solemnly, looking neither right nor left.

The inside was more exaggerated. While the meeting place appeared quite empty yesterday, it was now occupied by cameras and reporters at the corners and in the middle.

As the exchange meeting hadn’t officially started yet, the chefs were all being interviewed. They were scattered across the hall in twos or threes.

At the same time, Zhou Shijie was greeting the Japanese guests with the help of Zhong Lili while many reporters were crowding around them.

The majority of the reporters were there.

Just when Yuan Zhou looked around, a crowd of reporters came over to him.

“Hi, are you Chef Yuan? I heard that Chairman Zhou is very satisfied with you and you are the youngest chef in this exchange meeting. Is that so?” A female reporter came up to him and asked a very long question.

Yuan Zhou hadn’t had time to answer her when another reporter asked him.

“Chef Yuan, what dish are you prepared to cook today for the exchange of pointers?” Reporter B straightforwardly reached out the microphone to Yuan Zhou.

“Your background is said to be very mysterious. Who did you learn from, Chef Yuan?” Reporter C asked.

“Chef Yuan, what are you prepared to do regarding the Japanese chef, Dashi Xiujie’s, challenge?” Reporter D also reached out his microphone toward him and asked solemnly.

“Dashi Xiujie specifically invited one of the best food tasting experts to challenge you. Chef Yuan, what kind of dish are you prepared to cook?” Reporter E asked again. The repeated questions made Yuan Zhou want to knit his brows. When he saw the cameras, however, he still managed to refrain from doing that for the sake of his image.

“Thank you for your interest. I’ll treat this exchange meeting seriously,” Yuan Zhou answered seriously and solemnly.

However, he couldn’t help muttering, “What challenge are they talking about?”

That’s right. Dashi Xiujie had told the reporters explicitly that he came to learn cooking from Yuan Zhou today, of which Yuan Zhou had no idea.

Of course, his tone was full of provocation. Tengyuan didn’t say anything at the side while Chairman Masheng nodded his head smilingly to show his consent toward Dashi Xiujie’s words.

That was the reason why so many reporters came over to ask Yuan Zhou about the provocation.

This matter had always been known to Zhou Shijie, but he felt it unnecessary to inform Yuan Zhou. And others who knew about this matter didn’t know that Yuan Zhou had no clue about this matter, either.

As a result, the main character didn’t even know what was going on.

“Chef Yuan, are you saying that you are very confident of responding to Dashi Xiujie’s provocation?” The first female reporter asked Yuan Zhou with a piercing tone.

“Chef Yuan, can you confirm that you are able to defeat Dashi Xiujie?”

“Could you tell us how you are going to handle his challenge?”

“Chef Yuan, what dish are you going to cook to cope with his challenge? Can you tell us in advance?”

“Dashi Xiujie is known to be good at cooking eel and he’s said to be good at other fish dishes too. Chef Yuan, how are you prepared to handle his challenge?

The questions of the reporters didn’t cease because of Yuan Zhou’s answer. Instead, they still asked quickly and anxiously.

“That depends on what he wants to eat,” Yuan Zhou said concisely.
