Kong Bohou pushed open the door of Xi Tianlei's office, "Old Xi, have you seen the news online?"

Xi Tianlei took off his reading glasses and said lightly: "What news?"

Kong Bohou put his phone in front of Xi Tianlei. Xi Tianlei read the name of the article "Qiao Zhi accepts the challenge of Sun Jin, the top state banquet chef!"

Xi Tianlei smiled bitterly, "Is there anything wrong with this news?"

Kong Bohou sighed, "The generation is not right! Sun Jin should be of different generations from Qiao Zhi. Even if he wants to challenge it, Qiao Zhi will challenge Sun Jin."

Xi Tianlei looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and smiled faintly, "When did the cooking industry also engage in seniority? It was Sun Jin who proposed to compete with Qiao Zhi, and of course Sun Jin challenged Qiao Zhi. Judging from the Tiger List of the International Cooking Association, although Qiao Zhi's ranking has dropped a little recently, Sun Jin is unknown in the international cooking industry and has no reputation at all. From this perspective, the two of them are at least in an equal position in the competition between Qiao Zhi and Sun Jin."

Kong Bo said kindly: "You stand on Qiao Zhi unconditionally. Sun Jin is Sun Shichao's father."

Xi Tianlei said: "I am on the side of the matter. Qiao Zhi has already obtained the qualification of a chef in the state banquet. Sun Jin uses his power for personal gain. To put it bluntly, he is a narrow-minded, selfish scum with extremely poor character and shamelessness."

Kong Bohou widened his eyes, but he didn't expect Xi Tianlei would comment so bluntly on Sun Jin.

He coughed twice, "I'm afraid that public opinion will lift Qiao Zhi too high. If he loses, he will be miserable."

Xi Tianlei said: "Even if you lose, so what? Qiao Zhi is still very young. Sun Jin is a chef who has been cooking state banquets for decades. Qiao Zhi can go on lightly."

Kong Bohou frowned and said, "I always feel it's too messy. This incident has made the cooking world smoky."

Xi Tianlei said, "I don't think it's a mess, but I think it's a good thing. We are all national chefs recognized by the state, but how many people in the world know your and my names? To put it bluntly, I even suspect that Sun Jin is trying to mess with Qiao Zhi. Now everyone in the world knows him."

Kong Bohou opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, "It seems that this is the reason."

Xi Tianlei smiled relaxedly, "We must learn to look at problems from the bright side. The cooking industry seems impetuous, but it is also lively. In today's society, any industry must actively embrace fresh elements, live broadcasts, short videos, and create many folk masters. This is also an opportunity for us chefs. Don't think that we have received many disciples, received many titles, and possessed many honors. Don't work behind closed doors and admire yourself, but actively integrate into society and show our true talents to more people through new media."

Kong Bohou sighed softly, "Your words have touched me a lot."

Xi Tianlei smiled and said, "We are all old and unwilling to move. This mentality is unfavorable to young people. The pessimistic argument that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong is no longer applicable. No matter whether pigs are strong or not, they cannot escape that knife. Why not eat more and enjoy the joy of fullness in a short life? Only when people have fame can they realize their ideals and ambitions."

Kong Bohou bowed to Xi Tianlei and sighed: "I was the one who was hasty."

Xi Tianlei stopped Kong Bohou and smiled and said, "Don't leave, I just happened to look for you. A few days ago, there was a food program on the Life Channel of Yanjing TV Station, called "Home Taste". I want to invite me, you and Lao Suo to serve as a guest and technical guide together. Are you interested?"

According to Kong Bohou's previous personality, 80% of them may refuse, but he hesitated at this moment.

Kong Bohou was silent for a few seconds and said softly: "Okay, then I'll give it a try, but I'm not very good at facing the camera."

Xi Tianlei smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't need to say anything. It's all the female host who explains the connection next to you. You just need to prepare delicious food."

After Kong Bohou left, Xi Tianlei sat on the chair and frowned and pondered.

Qiao Zhi's emergence not only injected fresh energy into the cooking world, but also changed the chef's positioning of himself.

In the past, when chefs went out to introduce themselves, they were all chefs in a certain restaurant. Whether the chef is famous depends on whether he has worked in a top restaurant.

But now it’s different. Whether a restaurant is good or not, is the food cooked? The bottom line is the bottom line.

The dishes are made by chefs, and chefs have become the core element that influences whether the restaurant can be opened for a long time.

This wind direction is the change brought about by Qiao Zhi after his sudden emergence.

Qiaobang main cafeteria recruits top chefs everywhere in the country, not only allowing high salaries, but also giving enough power. The chef not only has absolute control over the back kitchen, but also participates in the actual management of the store, and the promotion channel is completely open.

...

Sun Jin sat on the sofa at home, one after another, mosquito coils were sucking. He didn't expect that the matter was a big deal. Now the leader of the State Guesthouse also called himself to inquire about this.

Sun Jin originally planned to compete with Qiao Zhi to win back his son's confidence, who would have thought that everyone would know it.

The outcome is not scary. What is scary is that now everyone in the world knows that they use their power for personal gain, and use the chef of the state banquet to control Qiao Zhi and force him to compete with him for cooking skills.

Someone entered outside, and Sun Jin looked up and saw that it was his eldest disciple Wang Shimao.

Wang Shimao walked to Sun Jin's side and whispered: "Master, just let me compete with Qiao Zhi, so that even if I lose, I will not lose your face."

Sun Jin shook his head, "What, do you think I will lose?"

Wang Shimao's eyes showed a solemn look, "I watched the whole game between Qiao Zhi and Max. He is a competitive chef. If you meet strong people, you will be strong. There is no need to bet on your reputation."

Sun Jin waved, "I have decided, right, I have something I want to tell you. No matter what the outcome of this game is, I will resign from my current position, and you must take on my job."

Wang Shimao widened his eyes and was incredible, "Master, you are still very young, in your fifties, and you are still many years away from retirement. Why did you resign from your post so early?"

Sun Jin smiled faintly, "I want to leave the opportunity to you! Over the years, as my deputy, you have been attentive and have been able to stand alone. I should give the future to you young people, and you cannot sit in this position selfishly and limit your development. Now all walks of life are emphasizing youth, and the same is true for the cooking industry. After I resign, you must cultivate Sun Shichao with your heart. This is my only requirement and wish."

Wang Shimao was depressed and nodded gently, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him."

Sun Jin smiled and said, "You don't have to be too sentimental. In any industry, boxing is afraid of being young. When a person reaches a certain age, not only will his physical strength deteriorate, but his taste and aesthetic will weaken accordingly. So it's okay for me to choose to retreat bravely now."

Wang Shimao said: "With your energy and experience, you will be a consultant for another ten years. There is no problem at all. If you leave, it will be a huge loss to the State Guesthouse."

Sun Jin shook his head and said, "Whoever can rotate is missing from the earth. I am far from that important. Be prepared and after the game is over, I will start handing over the work in my hands."

Wang Shimao sighed softly. Although Sun Jin was a very strict person, he had been beaten a lot when he was apprenticed to him.

However, fighting is to make oneself unforgettable. The most important thing about working in a state guesthouse is to be cautious.

Under Sun Jin's training, Wang Shimao developed an extremely rigorous personality.

After Wang Shimao left, Sun Jin was about to go to the bedroom to rest. Sun Shichao walked in from outside and looked at Sun Jin with complicated eyes.

"Didn't you tell you not to come back?" Sun Jin said softly.

Sun Shichao said in a deep voice: "I want to know why you made that decision! Why do you want to compete with Qiao Zhi?"

Sun Jin glanced lightly, "There are no cowards in the Sun family. Wherever they fall, they have to stand up. I have taught you since I was a child to develop perseverance, but you obviously have not integrated into your bones. My move is not for you, but for the Sun family."

Sun Shichao was silent for a few seconds and looked at Sun Jin very seriously: "Dad, I must tell you a fact that Qiao Zhi's cooking skills are not only far above me, but are even better than you and Teacher Xi. If you compete with him, the probability of failure is high."

Sun Jin glared at Sun Shichao, "There are people outside of people, and there is heaven beyond the world. How can I not know this truth? Do you choose to accept your fate even if you know you will fail? I must tell you that failure is also a wealth in life. If I fail, even if I have nothing and are notorious, so what? As long as I have a breath, I can still work hard and struggle and get up."

Sun Shichao turned around silently, "I'm leaving! If you really lose, I will carry the banner of the Sun family."

Looking at his son's back as he walked away, a hint of relief appeared on the corner of Sun Jin's mouth.

If you can arouse your son's fighting spirit, your goal will be achieved.

Although his son said that he was not Qiao Zhi's opponent, Sun Jin thought it was too much.

Although I have few competitions, I have never been afraid of anyone in cooking.

With nearly thirty years of experience in state banquets, the food he cooked has been praised by all kinds of people many times.

He doesn't believe that a young man who has just graduated for two years and who is not from a cooking major can defeat himself.

However, you must be prepared for anything, and Sun Jin has left a way out for himself.

Regardless of winning or losing, they will resign from their posts, which is considered to be a bad impact on this matter. Let me give you an explanation.

Leaving a state guesthouse does not mean that you have left the cooking industry.

Sun Jin's daughter is engaged in catering companies, so he can also spend more time and focus on assisting her daughter.

"Shichao was back just now?" Sun Jin's wife walked out.

"Come back and get some things and leave." Sun Jin explained.

"Oh, why didn't you keep him?" Sun Jin's wife complained, "You have been too strict with him over the years."
