Everyone in the car sank into silence. Little Guo was silently arranging the information in the document with a serious look while Little Wang was silently driving.

As for Director Gu, he had his eyes shut, thinking about something unknown.

After a while, Director Gu opened his eyes and spoke, “Little Guo, make a written record of our trip. I want it in detail.”

“Ok,” Little Guo nodded and started preparing the folder and pen.

As for Director Gu, he was preparing to plan this event perfectly. As for the camera team on the car ahead of them, they were seriously discussing about their coming task.

The people from another province might be coming, they might not appear in front of the camera and might even come unannounced.

One ought to know that in the recent two years, the government officials of all ranks had been requested to keep a low profile. And thus, it was natural that they would not show themselves in a competition like this that was more of a marketing event.

Compared to these people that were being all cautious, the members of the evaluation committee were much more relaxed. They started gathering at the agreed-upon location.

Both Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi had already arrived at the meeting room, both arriving at nearly the same time.

After exchanging pleasantries, they did not even have the chance to talk before the door was knocked.

Knock. Knock. After the door was knocked, a middle-aged man in a blue suit walked in. He had a pair of glasses on, giving him a refined and scholarly look.

This person was precisely the chief editor of Food Discovery Dog, Hu Yue.

“Chief Editor Hu is here. Please have a seat,” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“Nice to meet you, chairman. You’re here as well, Mr Lee? It is quite hard to meet you in person,” Hu Yue first exchanged greetings with Zhou Shijie before looking at Lee Yanyi in astonishment.

“Um, here to take a look at the newly nominated restaurants,” Lee Yanyi said without bothering to hide his intentions.

“So you mean you’re here for those two restaurants?” Hu Yue asked while sitting down.

That’s right. Of the 10 nominated restaurants, only two were newly nominated ones. One was Yuan Zhou’s Master Chef Restaurant and the other was a new faction of Sichuan Cuisine that had gotten very popular recently, the Chengdu Cuisine Restaurant. It was rumored that the head chef had returned from overseas.

The head chef of Chengdu Cuisine Restaurant was 36 years old and he was a very creative person as he had fused the traditional Sichuan Cuisine with Western Cuisine, creating a new cuisine that was very gorgeous and pretty.

“Only one, Master Chef Restaurant,” Lee Yanyi said.

“And Chairman Zhou is also here for the Master Chef Restaurant?” Hu Yue asked.

“You can’t say that. I am also checking out the other restaurants as well,” Zhou Shijie said with a modest smile.

“Everyone knows you are very protective of that kid. You’re almost treating him like your own child,” Lee Yanyi exposed Zhou Shijie as he could not stand his crafty way of talking.

“Haha, seems like this Master Chef Restaurant does not have its reputation for no reason,” Hu Yue said with a laugh.

“You have never been there before?” Lee Yanyi looked at Hu Yue with an odd gaze.

As the chief editor of the largest culinary magazine in Sichuan, he had never visited Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. He was truly outdated.

“I’m waiting for you to first give that restaurant your review,” Hu Yue did not give the real reason and instead tossed the ball over to Lee Yanyi’s court.

“I have been eating there a lot. What, should I give a review so there will be more people there fighting over seats with me?” Lee Yanyi replied, looking at Hu Yue with an “I’m not stupid” look.

“Haha, Mr Lee is a very humorous person,” Hu Yue replied with a laugh.
