The time went back to 8 o'clock in the morning. Early in the morning, Si Jiawen called Yan Zi and prepared to experience the food competition with her.
"Where did you go during the second half of yesterday?"
"Hey, sister, don't mention it. I met someone from the Food Association and was dragged into drinking a lot of wine..."
Si Jiawen exclaimed: "Isn't it right? The iceberg beauty of our TV station also drinks with others?"
Yan Zi smiled reluctantly and said: "Sister, you know, the so-called iceberg beauty just graduated and felt that she was talented and too proud. Now after resigning from the TV station, I have encountered obstacles everywhere. Naturally, I know that people are not allowed under the roof. The principle of not bowing your head.”
She paused and then said: "But I have also made a lot of progress. Yesterday, I dodged the disgusting-looking President Zhang's weird hand countless times, but in the end I didn't let him touch it!"
Si Jiawen raised her eyebrows and reminded: "You don't want others to take advantage of you, so don't fall into their hands, otherwise be careful to wear small shoes for you!"
Yan Zihun said nonchalantly: "Anyway, the quota for the competition has been reviewed. As long as I can participate in the competition, I will have nothing to do with him in the future."
"Why don't you do his business? I heard that the food competition is organized by the Food Association. Didn't you just fall into their hands?"
"In a game in front of everyone, I don't believe he can do anything wrong!"
Hearing this, Si Jiawen understood: Although this girl has made some progress, it's not much.
When the two arrived at the food competition, just when the competition was about to start, a problem arose...
"Hey, who are you? Non-professional players, please go to the outside!"
As soon as the two women entered the infield, they were stopped by security. Then Si Jiawen quickly explained her identity as a player. The security guard looked at the list and said expressionlessly: "Sorry, you are not on the list!"
"How could it be possible without me? I made an agreement with President Zhang yesterday..."
Yan Zi was anxious. President Zhang and others happened to be sitting in the guest seats at this time. She immediately waved to them and shouted: "President Zhang, here... didn't you promise me that I could participate in the competition midway? ?”
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned dark, including Si Jiawen.
Si Jiawen was slandering in her heart: Damn girl, can you take what you said at the wine table seriously? Moreover, you just boasted that no one took advantage of you. It’s weird that they can help you if they don’t benefit!
Others looked at President Zhang with strange eyes: Yan Zi is an oxygen-type beauty who is born to attract people's attention. She keeps saying "You promise me XX", which can easily make people think of "hidden rules" something.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, this is..."
President Zhang quickly ran off the stage and looked at Yan Zi with a very unfamiliar look.
Yan Zi really had no social experience at all, so she said angrily: "We just had dinner together at noon yesterday, and you forced me to pour a lot of... wine... um..."
Before she could finish her words, Si Jiawen finally covered her mouth. The latter smiled and said: "President Zhang, right? This sister of mine wants to participate in the food competition. I heard that she submitted an application to your organizer. May I ask her Can I participate in the competition now? ”
In one sentence, it goes to the core.
President Zhang was silent: Yesterday's wine party, Iwasaki Junko and Yu Nuannuan were also present. After the two girls saw Yan Zi, they gave him instructions. Therefore, President Zhang agreed to let Yan Zi "join the class."
As for today's difficulty, it was as Si Jiawen expected. President Zhang himself did not take any advantage of Yan Zi, so he naturally had resentment and wanted to take advantage of this beauty.
In President Zhang’s opinion: If you give in to me and say a few nice words, you’d better call me brother, and this matter will be over. I’m an old man and I can’t pull you to bed...
The result was the current situation!
After thinking for a long time, President Zhang finally read Junko Iwasaki's explanation and reluctantly nodded: "No problem, our food competition is inclusive and everyone is welcome to participate. However, today is the second competition day. If Miss Yan Zi wants to Entering the finals, from today onwards, please be sure to participate in every game and get the top three every time, so that I can give an account to all the contestants, how about?”
Yan Zi was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "No problem!"
Si Jiawen wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Then the food competition officially started. Yan Zi used all her skills to make a steamed seabass that was full of color, flavor and flavor.
This kind of dish is easy to make and even ordinary people can make it delicious, but it really takes a lot of strength to reach the level of a chef.
Yan Zi was extremely confident in her dish. After the results of the competition came out, the scene that Li Shuo saw happened...
She never expected that the final score of the exquisite product she had put in all her efforts to create would be the bottom among the 32 participating chefs!
The chefs around looked at her and almost wanted to spray ridicule on her face:
"Look, this is the female cook!"
"Women, no one can cook now."
"What's the use of being pretty? Can the ingredients just jump into the pot and be processed?"
Wait, Yan Zi heard similar sounds a lot in the workplace, but at that time she was still a glamorous TV host. Although she was hosting a food show, her career was at least high-ranking. Now...
< br>
Just when Yan Zi was feeling uncomfortable, she heard Si Jiawen's surprised voice:
"Dear, why are you here?"
Li Shuo had told her yesterday about the food competition. Si Jiawen naturally knew that Li Shuo was a judge, so what surprised her was not that Li Shuo was here, but that he came to her door.
The implication is: Aren’t you going to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger to test your appearance? Why are you showing up now?
Li Shuo hugged Si Jiawen gently and said with a smile: "Why can't I come? Have you forgotten that I am a judge of the food competition!"
Since Yan Zi is here, it means that she is already a contestant. It will be a matter of time before she meets Li Shuo, so there is no need to hide it.
Si Jiawen was relieved, glanced at her appearance as she stood up, and said to her: "I did forget that Brother Shuo is a judge of the food competition, and he seems to know Zhang. How about we ask him for a favor?" ?”
Yan Zi glanced at Li Shuo in surprise, but hesitated and said nothing for a while: the result of the competition was not the top, nor the middle, but Chi Guoguo's last place! This had a serious impact on Yan Zi's self-confidence, making her doubt whether her level was really that bad? Otherwise, why would it be ranked last?
Li Shuo also didn't take the initiative to help, just like yesterday when he knew Yan Zi was being taken to President Zhang's wine shop, he didn't go to visit.
This is an unrelated person. She may be beautiful and have good cooking skills, but after all, the candidate has not yet been decided. Taking the initiative to get involved in other people's affairs is a dog-licking behavior. Maybe beautiful women like to cling to power? Maybe she would like to be teased by a fat old man with a big belly?
If you lick your dog and meddle in your own business, you will only end up in an unpleasant situation both inside and outside! Li Shuo learned this lesson in his previous life.
The scene was silent for about half a minute. Si Jiawen couldn't stand it anymore and said impatiently: "Hey, Xiaozi, you are talking. If you don't take the initiative to ask others for help, how can they take the initiative to help you? This is because Li Shuo is My boyfriend, if you don’t have a good relationship with him, he will turn around and leave immediately if you don’t say a word!”
"Oh oh"
Only then did Yan Zi realize. She quickly turned to look at Li Shuo, bent down slightly and said, "Um, Mr. Li, could you please help me check my grades, um, is there anything fishy..."
"Hey, don't listen to Sister Wen's nonsense. We are all friends. Of course I will help you. Let's go in first..." As he said that, Li Shuo put his hands behind his back and stepped forward. Going against the flow of the crowd, he walked towards the judges' bench in the infield.
Yan Zi and Si Jiawen saw this and quickly followed.
"Good afternoon, Teacher Li, shall we have dinner together?"
"No, I still have something to do."
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Hmm"
Along the way, wherever Li Shuo went, the participating chefs nodded or bowed to pay tribute. Yan Zi saw it and suddenly realized the truth of what Si Jiawen said just now, "You are the judge of the competition." sex.
When she arrived at the judges' table, Yan Zi saw her sponsor Lin Zhonggen coming up to her. She nodded and bowed to Li Shuo and said, "You are here, Mr. Li. Let's have a meal together at noon?"
Li Shuo said with a smile: "Of course it's okay to have dinner with Mr. Lin, but no outsiders are allowed."
Lin Zhonggen's expression was stagnant. He was inviting guests to dinner, so he naturally wanted to intercede for Jiang Haoyu, but it was obvious that Li Shuo didn't give him a chance.

"Haha, how could it be? Although I am close to the Jiang family, I am from the Lin family after all, and everything is based on the interests of the Lin family!"
These words were taken out of his mouth to avoid hating Li Shuo because of his friendship with Jiang Haoyu. Afterwards, Lin Zhonggen didn't mention eating anymore, and just asked Li Shuo why he came here now.
"There is something happening here. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to help?"
"Oh? You tell me, I'll do whatever you want."
"This is my friend. She participated in the competition today and came last. Well, can I check the results?"
Lin Zhonggen followed Li Shuo's gaze and looked at Yan Zi, and then he suddenly realized: Yan Zi's arrival in the morning attracted great attention. Lin Zhonggen also knew that she was rated last. He even knew the score. reason.
"Well, Mr. Li, you're not here this morning, right?" Lin Zhonggen hesitated, thinking about what to say.
Li Shuo heard the implication and vaguely understood that Yan Zi had offended someone again in the morning?
But he didn't care about this and asked: "Just tell me, what's the reason for her grades?"
Yan Zi's heart skipped a beat: No, you're asking someone to do something. What's wrong with your tone?
What surprised her was that Lin Zhonggen apologized repeatedly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, this is not my fault. Some of Miss Yan Zi's words in the morning made President Zhang very unhappy, so he gave her The lowest score was awarded! ”
When Yan Zi heard this, she felt her head buzzing. She felt so inferior just now, and now she is so angry!
"It turns out it's not my fault, that person named Zhang..."
She looked straight at the stage.
Li Shuo reached out and patted her shoulder, and said angrily: "No matter how bad your skills are, they are really at the lowest level, but with your face, do you think any judge will give you the lowest score?"
His words and actions were extremely rude, but Yan Zi instantly turned from anger to laughter: "What you said makes sense. I'm always known for my good looks on the TV station."
This former beauty host does not look very smart.
Li Shuo was speechless for a while, but he became more and more satisfied with the "Beautiful Chef", so he directly ordered Lin Zhonggen: "First correct the rating results in the morning, and then make an announcement in the afternoon saying that there is a mistake!"
As soon as these words came out, the other three people were all startled.
Even though Si Jiawen acted in a domineering manner, she had never seen someone change the results of the competition so casually. If she was not on Yan Zi's side, she even wanted to ask: If you are so messy, how can the competition be fair and just?
Yan Zi never imagined that Li Shuo's methods would be so simple and direct: Since you are asking people to do things, shouldn't you be more humble?
Lin Zhonggen looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Well, Mr. Li, it's not that I refuse to agree. As you know, we are only the second largest sponsor, and President Zhang has Miss Iwasaki's support behind him..."
"I didn't ask you to agree, I just asked you to do it!"
Li Shuo snorted coldly, Lin Zhonggen's face was full of fright, and he was about to smile bitterly, "You asked me to do it directly, didn't you just let me handle this matter?" However, the next moment, Li Shuo rushed to the stage, waving to the stage and shouted: "President Zhang, you Come on over.”
Then, President Zhang ran over in a hurry.
Because the judges' seat was a little higher than where everyone was standing, President Zhang realized "something wasn't right" when he ran in front of Li Shuo, so he took the initiative to squat down. It was very uncomfortable, with his head lower than his neck. Squat:
"Master Li, do you want to continue to be a judge this afternoon?"
After saying that, President Zhang's expression suddenly changed slightly when he saw Yan Zi standing next to Li Shuo.
"See someone? Yan Zi is my friend, what do you think we should do?"
"Uh, misunderstanding, Mr. Li, I will correct it immediately..."
President Zhang's panicked words were all understood by Lin Zhonggen, Yan Zi and others, but at this moment they were already a little numb from too much surprise, and they just wondered:
This Mr. Li is too powerful. In the Food Association, isn’t President Zhang the leader? How did he figure it out?
The two of them were puzzled. Only Si Jiawen, who knew a little bit about the relationship between Li Shuo and Junko Iwasaki, was smiling all over her face, as if she was watching a show.
"No need, Lin Zhonggen will naturally revise his grades and post an apology announcement, right? Mr. Lin?" Li Shuo turned to look at Lin Zhonggen, who could only nod his head in the eyes of President Zhang's cannibalistic eyes.
Li Shuo hates people like President Zhang the most. He has been dissatisfied with him since the Cui Yunzhen incident last time. Now, he even intends to take away the position of the president of the Food Association!
President Zhang naturally could not guess Li Shuo's "evil intentions", and for a moment he could only say: "Master Li, I made a mistake in this matter. Well, I apologize to you and Miss Yan... This kind of thing I promise not to make the same mistake again. In addition, I will protect Miss Yan throughout the next competition. I guarantee that Yan Zi will take first place in the final result! ”
Hearing this, Yan Zi almost jumped up with joy: People always like to take shortcuts.
But the next moment, Li Shuo said coldly: "Am I letting you go through the back door? As the organizer, I can't even guarantee the most basic fairness and justice. I think you shouldn't be the president!" ( End of chapter)
