Lao Liu's sleep quality at night was very poor, which was affected by the time difference and was also concerned about the coffee competition.

I talked to Du Jianing yesterday and found out that today's day will be the semi-finals and finals together. In other words, today is the critical moment that determines destiny.

Actually, this is easy to understand.

There are only 12 players in the semi-finals, but there are not as many people as in the preliminary round. These players have already made a rough comparison when they come to the previous round. Then the six players selected will be followed by the previous round, which will reduce a lot of time.

It can be said that the schedule of this game is quite harsh, and many people have been eliminated in the preliminary round.

"Dad, eat, delicious."

Xiao Miaomiao saw Lao Liu poking the plate, picked up a small snack and handed it over. Lao Liu glanced at his precious daughter and bit the snack directly into his mouth.

The little guy was so happy that he looked so beautiful that he grabbed the breakfast intestine and took a big bite.

"Brother Liu, haven't you had a good sleep?" Wang Shasha asked with a smile.

Old Liu nodded, "I don't know why, but I always feel a little worried today. Alas... I am too nervous. It's not me who is playing, so why are you nervous?"

"Brother Liu, isn't it good? They have reached the semi-finals. In fact, if you show off your appearance in the semi-finals, you have completed the task." Wang Shasha said.

"Isn't that the case? It's because I saw Cran yesterday that I was nervous." Old Liu shook his head.

The old saying goes, Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive. Just after he finished talking, Clan led his two followers in from outside the restaurant.

Without thinking too much, I know that this must have been coming again and disgusting Lao Liu. But there is no way, this is a public place and I can't drive him out. The hotel where Clan stays is definitely not this one, and he can still rush here to have breakfast. Is it still unclear what it is?

Fortunately, because this is a restaurant, Crane smiled proudly at him at most and did not really come to harass him.

Old Liu had no time to pay attention to him. After breakfast, he hugged his daughter and rushed to the competition site.

"Boss, a barista from China, should we target it?" asked Steven, Cran's number one follower.

Crane glanced at him, "I really don't know why you are so stupid. Are we really strong enough to tamper with such a game? And it's against baristas from China?"

"You can just pass the qualifiers by moving your pig brain. Do you still think she is likely to pass the semifinals?"

"Although China's economy has been developing very fast these years, they started too late in the coffee brewing process, so there are so many talents."

"Steven, think carefully about why we arranged this way. When you really think it through, you will reach a higher position in the future. If you can't figure it out, you can leave by yourself after the mission is over. What I want is an assistant, not a vocal worm who needs my teaching at any time and only knows how to nod."

Steven nodded nervously, but felt a little annoyed.

I was just making suggestions, but it would be fine if you don’t accept them, but now I still use my own job to threaten myself. If it weren’t for Sunshine Company’s very strict promotion management system and a generous salary, he really wanted to leave directly.

Cran wiped his mouth, but he didn't care what Steven thought. He didn't care whether they had finished eating or not, and he got up and left.

Comrade Lao Liu, who arrived at the competition site, was so excited now. He first called Jeon Joo-yeon and waved to her. Even if he had finished saying hello, he walked towards the competition venue where he made coffee. Hank was the big head.

But now Lao Liu didn't dare to wander around the venue, and the place was ready. Now it was the contestant's rest time, so he could only hold Xiao Miaomiao and watch here.

The atmosphere at the scene was different from the report. There were so many cameras here and so many reporters, and the existence of these people had already set off the atmosphere.

This is a truly professional stadium. In any case, Lao Liu's opinion, he wanted to go down and follow the previous round.

The rules of the competition are still very simple. After the first player starts the competition, the second player has fifteen minutes of preparation time. The entire competition time node is fifteen minutes, and you can end it early. But if you are in time, you will be deducted points.

Although both Du Jianing and Hank talked about the general competition process, this is a bit different from watching it on the spot.

Anyway, he doesn't know the current contestants, just watch the fun. Crane, a guy, shamelessly came to him and sat down.

Lao Liu was really too lazy to pay attention to him, and he really didn't expect that he was such an annoying person.

In terms of feeling, fifteen minutes will be long, but after you are really here, you realize that this time has passed without you knowing it.

Every barista has a different philosophy. During the explanation, she also thoroughly explained her understanding of coffee. For Lao Liu, who only knows the superficiality, today is a real big scene.

This is really not just as simple as brewing a cup of coffee, it has risen to the height of art. The baristas' movements are so standard and so smooth. In this standard and fluency, they also have their own special brewing skills.

Lao Liu really wanted to replace the judges and come on stage to taste it in person.

Because the water used by these baristas seems to be specially prepared. They don’t just take water casually and rinse it when it’s heated.

It was Hank's turn, and Lao Liu was even more satisfied with it. Hank's condition was very relaxed and he was very confident. In his sense, this was very destined to be a general.

Anyway, after Hank finished, he gave warm applause.

"Mr. Simon, congratulations, maybe Hank can really make it to the finals." Crane leaned over and said.

Lao Liu ignored him at all. Because Hank was Du Jianing's performance afterwards, this is also very important.

Cran looked forward, shook his head with his lips. As he understood, if it was better than the country's overall strength and military industry, China is now very strong. But if it was better than brewing coffee? This really doesn't work.

There were many contestants, but this time passed quickly. Whether it was Lao Liu or Wang Shasha, he had focused all his attention on the baristas standing in front of the competition area again.

This is a process of the competition and a respect for every barista. The results of each of them will not be announced, but the names of the people who advance to the final will be announced.

Lao Liu was really nervous, even more nervous than the baristas standing in front.

As the staff read the name, a line of words will be printed on the screen next to it, clearly indicating the barista's name and nationality.

When the third person read Hank's name, Lao Liu almost jumped up. This was the final, and Hank really entered the final. As long as he walked around with his own coffee beans, his coffee beans would become famous. If Hank could win the top three, then his coffee beans would be famous.

Before he could finish his happiness, the staff announced the name of the last person to be selected for the finals, which is Du Jianing.

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then stood up with Xiao Miaomiao in his arms. His legs were all out, and he wanted to come out to celebrate with Du Jianing.

Last year, Du Jianing was very lucky and was not even selected for the semi-finals. This year, they all reached the finals.

Du Jianing was also stunned for a moment when this news, and then the expression on her face became very excited. This also means that she has entered the top six this year.

"Simon, are you very happy and excited? Not only Hank reached the final, but your compatriots were also successfully selected." Cran asked with a smile on the side.

"Of course, I... Crane, what did you do?"

After saying halfway through happiness, Liu Wenrui became alert.

Because the smiling expression on Cran's face is really too slouching. How could he congratulate him so sincerely?

"Haha, Simon, let me tell you another better news." Simon said with a smile.

"Hank is very confident in this competition and will use the coffee beans from your farm in the last game as agreed with you. But because your coffee beans are too bad, he can only get the sixth place."

"And in the interview after the game, he would also express his annoyance that he should not agree to your request. He should stick to his own choices and keep the coffee game rigorous and fair."

Liu Wenrui was stunned and looked at Hank who was also looking at him here on the stage. For a moment, he understood everything.

No wonder he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Hank last night. Maybe he had reached an agreement with Cran after he came back to the United States. Whether it was Crane's threat or temptation, Hank now not only wants to help Crane cheat himself, but also step on himself.

It is conceivable that when a barista said that she had chosen the wrong coffee bean, the reason why she chose this coffee bean was to help her friend. At that time, no one would blame him, but instead thought that this coffee bean was really bad.

I will do my best, and my coffee beans are really "famous". But this reputation is probably even worse than in the cup competitions in Africa.

This feeling of being betrayed is very bad. He really feels that he can talk to Hank very well. He really didn't expect that he would stab himself in the back.

"Simon, isn't it a surprise?" Crane said with a smile, then looked at Stephen again, "Did you see it? Only such surprises are the most perfect."
