“Hu.”
Little Guo exhaled deeply. After arranging the documents on her hands, her expression, and her clothes, she knocked on the door.
“Come in,” a serious voice sounded from the other side of the door.
“He’s here. I’m really lucky,” muttered Little Guo inwardly as she pushed the door open.
“Hello, Mr Lee. I am the event organizer for the Sichuan Exemplary Restaurant event. We are hoping to invite you to join this event as a judge to help select the exemplary restaurant,” said Little Guo in a clear and concise manner.
This was learned from experience. Otherwise, she might be rejected before she could even finish her words.
“This event again?” Lee Yanyi raised his head and frowned.
“Yes. This is the itinerary and the participating restaurants. I hope you can accept this invitation,” Little Guo nodded and placed the document down.
“It’s only a bunch of restaurants that care too much about fame. What’s interesting about it?” Lee Yanyi sneered before even looking at the documents. Little Guo did not dare to make any comments about this remark.
Lee Yanyi started flipping through the pages and just as he was about to reject the invitation, he saw a familiar name among the participating restaurants: Master Chef Restaurant.
Little Guo knew that she would be rejected, but she still couldn’t leave without a formal rejection. And thus, she stood there silently waiting.
Suddenly, Lee Yanyi raised his head and picked up the document.
“This restaurant is participating as well?” Lee Yanyi pointed at Master Chef Restaurant.
“Yes. That is the restaurant nominated by Chairman Zhou,” Little Guo answered despite the bewilderment she was feeling.
“Ok. I accept your invitation. Notify me when the time comes,” Lee Yanyi decided.
“Sure. I hope we will have a chance to cooperate in the future… Wait. You accepted?” Little Guo gave an instinctive reply before she suddenly reacted in astonishment.
“Um,” Lee Yanyi nodded and did not say much.
“Ok. I will send the plan to Yan Jia. When the time comes, we will notify you,” Little Guo stopped blanking out and replied professionally.
“Ok,” said Lee Yanyi as he waved his hand, signifying that Little Guo may leave now.
“Ok. Then, I’ll be taking my leave,” Little Guo nodded. She wasn’t able to speak coherently anymore, and after taking her leave, she turned and left.
“Popular Mouth Lee has accepted?” Little Guo was still in shock even after leaving.
“I need to let Director Gu know about this as soon as possible,” muttered Little Guo as she rushed towards her car before speeding off to her office.
Meanwhile, Lee Yanyi was also in an astonishment.
“I never expected that geezer to be so crafty. He had actually recommended Yuan Zhou to join,” Lee Yanyi snorted coldly.
It was a fact that Lee Yanyi disliked the Exemplary Restaurant event. For him, rather than wasting their time fighting over fame, those chefs might as well spend the time improving their skills.
When they gained reputation and customers through their cooking, fame would come naturally. What was the point of fighting for fame in some events?
But since Yuan Zhou was also participating, Lee Yanyi had to join in on the fun.
For now, the joy Director Gu was experiencing after receiving Little Guo’s good news was not worth mentioning. As of this moment, Yuan Zhou had encountered a problem.
“There is actually such a requirement?” Yuan Zhou spoke to the phone in astonishment.
“I knew you haven’t read the rules. Yes, there is such a requirement. Think about who to select,” Zhou Shijie answered.
“To select people to represent my restaurant, I need to have people to select. You know I’m the only chef in my restaurant,” said Yuan Zhou helplessly.
“Kid, rules are rigid while humans are flexible. Sure, you can’t change the rules of your restaurant. But the requirement did not mention that you must select a chef as your representative,” reminded Zhou Shijie while not forgetting to tease Yuan Zhou for being so rigid with rules.
