Late at night.

Northern cities are very different from southern cities, especially in winter, where heating is available, so wear an extra-thick down jacket outside and a thin shirt inside. Put on a coat when going out, and wear only a thin piece when entering the house.

Therefore, most southerners will feel uncomfortable when they come to the north for winter.

It's dry and cold outside, but stuffy inside the house.

The night is long, the body is hot and it is difficult to fall asleep.

After twenty-four o'clock, Qiao Zhi was still typing on the keyboard at his desk. Others saw his bright and beautiful side, but rarely saw him put in more energy and effort than ordinary people.

The message came from the phone, which was sent by Mei Ling, "Are you asleep?"

Qiao Zhi replied in voice, "I fell asleep, but I woke me up by you."

Mei Ling laughed out loud and called the video request. Qiao Zhi soon appeared on the screen.

"What? Did the contact with Cao Fengyi go smoothly today?"

Mei Ling nodded and said, "Cao Fengyi has submitted her resignation letter. I just learned about the situation. It is true. The reason is that Cao Fengyi wants to advance this month's salary in advance, but was rejected by Jiang Guojun."

"Cao Fengyi is the main writer of food. I pay some money from the account. Is there no right? It's really unmannerable." Qiao Zhi sighed.

Mei Ling's tone became colder, "Now food and taste have become a tool for Jiang Guojun and others to seek personal gain. Jiang Guojun recently asked his sister to register a company outside and became a satellite company for food and taste. The cost of food and taste promotion is all the responsibility of this company, and the advertising fees of several million yuan per month are mostly in his pocket."

Qiao Zhi said puzzledly: "Did no one care about him?"

Mei Ling shook her head, "Although there is a competent department in food and taste, it has actually been separated. When the former president Chen Xiang was in office, Jiang Guojun did not dare to be too blatant. However, after President Chen left office, the current president was not worthy of prestige, so Jiang Guojun took over the power and covered the sky with one hand. In just two years, the president had changed two or three terms, but his position was very stable."

Qiao Zhi sighed: "It seems that his relationship with him is also very strong!"

Mei Ling said disdainfully: "No matter how strong the relationship is, as long as the evidence is conclusive, no one can protect him."

Qiao Zhi nodded slightly, "Now it is a society ruled by law. Maybe you can be lucky for a moment, but in the end you can't escape the legal accountability."

Mei Ling said: "I plan to absorb all the outstanding talents in Shiwei to Gang Qiao within three months, so Shiwei will become an empty standpoint."

Qiao Zhi was stunned and immediately figured out the origin of Mei Ling's confidence and said with a smile: "You will not have already dealt with by the head of the Food and Human Resources Department, right?"

Mei Ling smiled and said, "If you want to get the food taste, you have to spend some tricks and energy. The human resources manager has a good relationship with me and has long had the idea of ​​changing jobs."

Qiao Zhi frowned and said, "Before leaving his unit, I will help my enemies deal with my boss. This person cannot be reused, right?"

Mei Ling said: "It is impossible to make corporate management clear black and white, and there is no fish when the water is clear. I know the character of that human resources manager very well. He is a very good employee. He has only been exposed to too many dark things in the magazine and has lost confidence in Jiang Guojun and Liang Yin."

Food magazine is now rotten to the core, and people with a little sense of justice will feel uncomfortable working there.

Qiao Zhi nodded slightly, "If you need any support, just say it!"

Mei Ling smiled confidently and said, "No, I can solve this little thing."

Hanging up Qiao Zhi's phone, Mei Ling smiled softly, Qiao Zhi's words made him feel very heartwarming, and he stood on his side unconditionally.

Looking back on the difficulties of starting a business in the past year, Mei Ling suddenly felt that everything was worth it. It was not that it was getting closer to successful revenge, but that it was becoming more and more tacit understanding with Qiao Zhi.

Qiao Zhi has always said that he is the one who knows him the most, but Mei Ling knows that Qiao Zhi is also the one who knows him the most.

They have a tacit understanding with each other and have tacit understanding.

...

Four offices were vacated on the fifth floor of the China Cooking Association and the sign of the Youth Chefs Association was hung. Qiao Zhi had an independent office, the association's secretary-general had an independent office, and the other two offices were prepared for several vice presidents. Except for the secretary-general, other personnel were not in the association most of the time.

Qiao Zhi met the secretary-general of the Qing Chu Association, named Zhan Bo, who was 42 or 3 years old, and called Tang Qi the senior brother.

Zhanbo is also a native of Yanjing.

He worked in a media company. When he was 40, he was fired by the newspaper because of a problem with his political stance.

Tang Qi liked Zhan Bo's literary character very much and helped Zhan Bo introduce a job in the library. Although the work was boring, his income was stable and stable.

Now that the Youth Chef Association has been established, the Secretary-General’s work is very cumbersome, Tang Qi thought of Zhan Bo. Zhan Bo doesn’t have much work in the library, so he has the spare time to coordinate the affairs of the association.

"In the future, Brother Zhan will be responsible for the basic work of the Qing Chu Club. If you have related matters, you can entrust him to deal with them. He has strong abilities and can usually handle them. If he really can't handle them, I will also help him." Tang Qi explained with a smile.

"Secretary General Zhan, I'll ask you to take care of you in the future." Qiao Zhi took the initiative to extend his hand.

Zhan Bo and Qiao Zhi shook hands quickly. Qiao Zhi's hands were very powerful and could bring people a sense of security.

Zhan Bo sat in Qiao Zhi's office for a while, then returned to the office to handle the follow-up matters.

Tang Qi and Qiao Zhi had a chat for a while, and received a call and said to Qiao Zhi with a smile: "The two Michelin magazine judges will arrive at the association in a few minutes. Let's go to the door to greet them."

In the catering industry, Michelin magazine's reviewers are a mysterious and noble profession. Most of the reviewers graduated from hotel management schools. They have undergone basic learning and training in the industry, have at least five years of experience in restaurant or hotel work, and most of the reviewers are chefs themselves.

After being officially adopted, they will need to go to Europe for several months of training to learn the concepts and evaluation standards of Michelin Guides. After that, under the leadership of their predecessors, they will go to major restaurants and hotels for on-site study and surveys.

Waiting at the door for a while, a black sedan parked at the door, and two judges walked out of the back row. Tang Qi introduced to Qiao Zhi: "The blonde man is called Newman, he is British, and the short man is called Simeone, he is Argentine."

After getting off the car, Newman habitually sorted out his clothes and held up his glasses on his nose. Simeone was holding his cell phone and answering some calls. When he saw Tang Qi and Qiao Zhi coming over, he hung up his phone, and his face was filled with professional smiles.

Qiao Zhi has a certain understanding of these Michelin judges. They often taste food outside and eat more than 12 times a week, but most judges still know how to control their weight and exercise regularly. Tang Qi and Newman have met many times, and their relationship is very familiar. He pointed to Qiao Zhi and said, "This is Qiao Zhi, a young Chinese chef who defeated Max."

Newman's eyes brightened, "I was lucky enough to taste Max's cooking skills. He is a romantic magician in the food industry and can bring the most wonderful experience in the world to the tip of his tongue. I believe your cooking skills must be shocking."

Qiao Zhi smiled humbly and said, "Thank you for your praise. Max is no longer my opponent, but my partner. If you are interested, you can go to my restaurant and taste the food. His style now has changed a lot. By the way, this is not an invitation to a Michelin judge, but an invitation to a friend."

Newman smiled and said, "I hope to taste the food you cook more than Max."

Qiao Zhi showed a look of flattery, "Then I have to prepare well. The Michelin judge is the most picky customer in the world."

The four of them walked towards the conference room. After taking their seats, Tang Qi arranged for someone to bring tea.

Newman and Simeone heard Tang Qi introduce the development of the Chinese Cooking Association today. They have other tasks to come here. Taking advantage of the fact that many young chefs are attending the founding conference of the Youth Chefs Association in Yanjing, they will take this opportunity to introduce the rating criteria of Michelin magazine.

Through understanding the scoring standards, we know the current gap between the domestic catering industry and the international catering industry.

Qiao Zhi understood Tang Qi's good intentions and wanted to let Chinese food go abroad, not only to make foreigners accept Chinese food, but also to find a breakthrough from the commanding heights.

Currently, there are very few Michelin restaurants in China, especially Yanjing, which is known as the Michelin "desert".

The price of inviting Newman and Simeone to come is not small, including food, accommodation and transportation, but also to pay the two of them a labor fee of up to $100,000.

It is not just about advocating foreign countries, but about maintaining a modest and cautious learning attitude.

The reason why China has risen in just a few decades is because we have a strong learning spirit and can take the advantages of others for our own use.

"This sharing session will be held in the Rising Sun Conference Hall in the Jinghua Convention Center tomorrow night. Not only will the members of the Youth Chef Association participate, but we will also invite practitioners from the catering industry in Yanjing." Tang Qi informed Newman and Simeone of the situation.

Newman nodded slightly to the Tang Qi, "Please rest assured Secretary-General Tang, at that time we will definitely share the knowledge we know with everyone as much as possible."

Newman and Simeone sat in the association for half an hour, and Newman asked to leave on the excuse of having something to deal with.

When he sat in the car, Newman looked helpless on his face. Simeone saw his partner's emotions, "You seem to be in a bad mood."

Newman closed his eyes, "I have been to China so many times, especially in Yanjing. I have been to many restaurants, but I have been very disappointed."

Simeone nodded and said, "Although there are many types of food in China, there are too few restaurants like this to meet the standards of Michelin-starred restaurants. Most restaurants pursue profits and not quality. So, I can't believe that the young man named Joe won Max in the cooking league."

Newman said lightly: "Everyone has missed. Maybe Max is not in good condition that day. Winning once is nothing, maybe it is because of luck. The fact that he can win Max does not mean that his restaurant can meet the Michelin standards."
