Chapter 422 Celebrity Chef List Selection
With Nan Yi’s reminder, Nan Zhi immediately became wary of Wang Yong’s abnormal behavior!
Wang Yong, who is always targeting her secretly, what is he doing?
Take the initiative to show kindness?
This is not something a narrow-minded manager would do, not to mention that he had just expressed his unkindness to Nan Yi not long ago, and he did not change his attitude so quickly.
Deliberately flattering?
As a veteran in the workplace for decades, Wang Yong doesn’t really think such a childish approach is useful, does he?
Nanzhi had a lot of thoughts, but he stood still for the time being and accepted Wang Yong's proposal happily.
Wang Yong also smiled kindly, as if the disagreement with Nanzhi never existed.
Most of the restaurant and the audience in the live broadcast room could not see the undercurrent behind it, and they just thought that the two people really shook hands and made peace.
Everyone in the restaurant was happy to see the success and said:
"Manager Wang is the best if he doesn't cause trouble. Master Nan has brought so much business to our restaurant!"
"Being friendly makes you rich, Wang. The manager has a bad attitude towards Master Nan. If we don’t talk about him, the whole restaurant will be scolded as well!”
“In fact, when Manager Wang is not acting like a monster, he is quite a good person.”
"Jealous? That's not true. She deserves everything Master Nan gets."
"I hope every day in the future will be calm!"
"..."
The audience in the live broadcast room is not the kind who insists on Wang Yong's fault:
[This is the right thing to do, treat our sister Zhi well, she is the God of Wealth in your restaurant! 】
【As long as you don’t go against Sister Zhi, we won’t scold you. Manager Wang, please calm down! 】
[No more conspiracy theories, it’s just a little unhappiness in the workplace. Is there really any life-or-death feud? 】
【That’s right, just curse a few words and don’t be violent online, as this will only cause trouble for Nanzhi! 】
[Acknowledging your mistakes can greatly improve things. Manager Wang, who is in his 40s, can still put down his body and apologize to Nanzhi, which shows that he is truly repentant. 】
......
This Yongnian Building internal staff meeting ended up being a commendation meeting for Nanzhi.
However, no one thought anything was wrong, and the scene was full of joy.
Especially when I saw the scene of Nanzhi and Wang Yong shaking hands and making peace, it seemed like the protagonist and his opponent in the TV series laughed away their grudges...
After the meeting, Wang Yong took Nanzhi to Left alone, he said he wanted to talk to her.
Nanzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled:
“Okay.”
She wanted to see what kind of medicine Wang Yong was selling in his gourd!
Nanzhi followed Wang Yong to his office alone.
Because Wang Yong’s office involves the secrets inside the Yongnian Building, no cameras from the program team were installed.
Wang Yong walked in slowly, deliberately leaving the office door half open.
“Sit down.”
Wang Yong turned around and saw that Nanzhi was still standing, and quickly asked her to take a seat politely.
Nanzhi's eyes slowly swept across Wang Yong's face, and then he sat down.
Wang Yong touched his nose uncomfortably.
My eyes are quite sharp at such a young age...
“Ahem.”
Wang Yong cleared his throat and asked straight to the point,
"Nanzhi, do you know the celebrity chef list?"
This was a question that Nanzhi had not expected in advance. She paused for two seconds before nodding:
"Yes, I know."
The Celebrity Chef List is an authoritative list jointly launched by the Chinese Chefs Association and Zhen Cui Lu. It is selected every four years. Each selection is a major event in the food industry.
This event is not only for chefs, but also for diners.
Because those celebrity chefs, in order to improve their position on the celebrity chef list, will try their best to launch creative new dishes every year during the selection to compete with their peers.
Even those low-key celebrity chefs who have not been out for a long time have to temporarily put aside their willful style for the celebrity chef list and strive for ratings by receiving more guests.
The more the chefs compete, the more excited the diners become.
Because they can taste food that they could not eat before more frequently, enjoy the taste impact caused by the collision of food and chef's inspiration, and can also taste some of the chef's unique skills...
Some are not bad. The money-grubber will fly all over the world this year, never stopping!
This is a gourmet competition and a pure gourmet feast!
“This year is the selection year for the celebrity chef list. The selection started at the end of last year and will end one month later. During the introduction, the public judges hidden among the many diners will present their favorites to the jury. The chef nominations are based on the number of nominations and the votes of professional judges, and the final ranking results are given. "
The composition of the judges on the celebrity chef list is very interesting.
The professional judges are basically composed of industry insiders such as chef leaders and food critics who have taken a back seat.
However, the public judges are different.
These hundreds of judges come from all over the world, are usually unknown to the outside world, and their identities are also diverse.
There are rich people, officials, journalists, writers, but also workers, white-collar workers, students, retired elderly people...
Every time it is time for selection, they will send in their votes anonymously.
First it was postmarked letters, now it’s emails.
Although many people in the industry think this method is outdated, the results of the final vote can often convince more than 80% of people.
This also makes the list of celebrity chefs highly valuable, especially above the list of delicacies.
Wang Yong asked slowly:
"Nanzhi...oh no, Master Nan, do you want to participate in the selection of the celebrity chef list?"
Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and pondered the purpose behind Wang Yong.
Of course, no matter what his true purpose is, her mind will not change.
“I will.”
It’s not about thinking, it’s about knowing.
This is Nanzhi’s confidence in his own strength.
Wang Yong seemed to appreciate Nanzhi's attitude and nodded with a smile:
"You are worthy of being Master Nan. As a restaurant that is temporarily cooperating with you, our Yongnian Restaurant wants to take advantage of you, and we are also willing to work on this matter." Help Master Nan in this matter..."
"Oh?"
The look in Nanzhi's eyes at Wang Yong was meaningful.
Wang Yong himself seemed not to notice, and continued:
"Celebrity chef lists, with the word 'name', naturally there is no lack of publicity. Master Nan, you are now very famous among the public, but you are still a bit unfamiliar to people in the industry. So, do you think this will work? We Yongnian Lou held a tasting party specifically for Master Nan, and used our Wang family’s connections to help Master Nan invite colleagues to build momentum for Master Nan’s inclusion in the celebrity chef list. How about just looking at Wang Yong’s proposal? In itself, there is no problem.
Building momentum and publicity... these are not bad things.
The aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley.
What’s more, in the chef’s profession, no matter how amazing your craftsmanship is, it’s still meaningless if there are no diners to eat it.
Moreover, Wang Yong's words also hit the point of Nanzhi's current shortcomings, which is that it is well-known in the eyes of the public, but is still unfamiliar to real industry peers.
In the final analysis, her time in the industry was too short and she did not have enough time to communicate with chefs in the industry.
And this can indeed easily become Nanzhi’s weakness in the selection.
