Chapter 516 - Confrontation (3) (2/2)
“If I’o anywhere If I had known that he wanted to be an ordinary chef, I wouldn’t have asked hi an ordinary chef If he had been a chef who said stupid things like, ‘If I can live happily, I don’t want anything ht him here to work for me”
“You kno difficult it is to live happily, right? Isn’t he too ambitious?”
“That’s why you are an idiot!” June cynically snapped
She could feel that Dave, as over the phone, was gruood about his sullen ateway that Min-joon had to pass at least once He is confident and competent, so why is he hesitant to do it? It’s a waste of his talent if he doesn’t do it”
“Well, I thought you and Min-joon would do it”
“Hey, don’t keep talking like a small potato who lives without any dream!”
“Yeah, the man you have met is a small potato, and you liked a lessera lesser life”
“Hey, you can talk about such trifles later Anyway, just do ouro and the central area to rally their support for Min-joon Got it?”
“You are trying to do politicking even in the cooking area?”
“Well, that’sAnd Min-joon will inevitably face those who are opposed to hiht?”
When she said that, Dave paused for a moment
She read a lot in his silence because she kne Dave thought about hi chefs He was a light that would bewitch people, and he could make people feel jealous of him
“Well, let me try my best to create an atmosphere where people around me here cheer for him…” he said “By the way, Ifor a moment, then breathed in and out
“Get lost!”
She hung up the phone, letting out a sigh
“Idiot…”
June played her role as Min-joon’s protege more perfectly than anybody else
She didn’t call only Dave in Chicago She called the head chefs of Rose Island branches including Daisy and Deborah, and at the saourmets and chefs in New York
As a result, when she was exchanging opinions with them about the Wasabi case, those who knew her directly or indirectly tended to support Min-joon More precisely, June’s acquaintances had no choice but to support him
Of course, those eren’t very close to her or didn’t know her criticized Min-joon honestly, but even so, she had a plan In other words, those who supported Min-joon felt a sense of solidarity, while even those who did not have a close relationshi+p with her naturally tended to think of her as their ally
Reading June’s mind, her close acquaintances like Deborah and Dave shook their heads, thinking of it as devil-like cunning, but at least her clever action like that did not hurt Min-joon’s reputation at all
The debate a the chefs became more and more heated Critics of Choters Guide’s questioned if the evaluators of the guide were qualified enough to look down on a restaurant that received Michelin three stars without any good standards And they pointed out the excessive interest of the people in Choters Guide Their point was that Choters Guide’s opinion was not just the subjective opinion of the evaluators, but it could bring about huge negative repercussions
On the other hand, those who supported Choters Guide argued that the evaluators’ raging was not just that of young chefs, citing their brilliant performance until now In fact, Min-joon’s victory at the Paris International Culinary Coh to prove their clai, numerous famous and veteran chefs around the world attended this international cooking contest and experienced frustrations and failures
In the end, the longer the debate got, theskills of Min-joon and Kaya As a less if they could confir criticized and more scrutinized than Min-joon because coeneral public Some of them even said that Kaya could share the victory with Min-joon at the Paris International Culinary Competition thanks to hiuys The longer and noisier your debate is, the uys’ nah June said that, Kaya, feeling a bit upset, couldn’t hide her frustration because she didn’t want to lag behind Min-joon It was not just because he was her lover She would obviously lie if she said she felt good even if she was behind hiht that Kaya wouldn’t have tried harder to come to the pinnacle of her career as it was now Soenius chef at the Grand Chef competition in the past, but it was not true that she didn’t try as hard as Min-joon
