After many years, Su Ji's group of teachers and brothers met again in this way. In fact, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Shi Jiahui originally said that she wanted to save Sun Mingxing's face again in front of him.
But when we really meet face to face.
It really brought together these teachers and brothers once again.
At this moment, Shi Jiahui knew that she couldn't speak.
It seemed that the younger generations and friends on both sides had a very good understanding. After the teachers and brothers met like this, they all chose to step aside first, allowing the teachers and brothers of that year to meet alone.
Shi Jiahui took the initiative to step back, and Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling also led the children to step back.
On the other side, Su Liancheng came forward and asked the younger generations to leave first.
"Okay, let's leave first and let their teachers and brothers meet and have a chat."
The other younger generations who came with them were relatively easy to talk to, except for Ma Wenjing's son, who was sizing up Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong in the wheelchair.
The young man suddenly said bluntly: "Dad, are you afraid of the old man standing there, or the lame man?"
Pop.
Almost at the moment when this question was uttered, Ma Wenjing's son was slapped hard in the face.
Ma Wenjing yelled at his son with an angry look on his face: "You little bastard, apologize to your uncle immediately. If you dare not apologize, get out of here. I will not let you do the job assigned to you by your uncle, and your mother and I will not support a waste like you in the future."
Ma Wenjing's son looked confused, covering his face after being slapped. It seemed like it was the first time he saw his father so angry.
Originally there was some unconvinced look in the young man's eyes, but Ma Wenjing's gaze was unusually sharp.
He yelled again: "Apologize, apologize immediately, or get out of here and don't come home to see me again."
This might be the first time he saw his father get so angry. Ma Wenjing’s son "Ma Zhuoyue" was stunned for a long time, but finally bowed to his father.
Ma Zhuoyue stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Su Jinrong and said, "I'm sorry, uncle."
Shi Jinbin and Su Jinrong did not expect that Ma Wenjing would actually teach his son a lesson in this way.
What was even more shocked were Chen Wei and the others.
Chen Wei and his friends have been in contact with Ma Zhuoyue these days and have already felt that Ma Wenjing's son is really spoiled to the extreme.
Whether sitting or standing, he always looks as if he has no bones.
Moreover, no matter whether there are elders around or not, he always speaks without restraint.
But these days, Ma Wenjing always showed that he was afraid of his son and did not dare to scold him loudly.
I will only say a few words in a neutral tone when something goes too far.
Like today, Ma Wenjing slapped him directly, and then got very angry, which really shocked Su Liancheng.
After apologizing, Ma Wenjing looked at his son who turned around and said, "Go with your brother and sister, and don't cause trouble for me again, or you can come back with me and I will send you to the mine."
The last sentence "send it to the mine" really made Ma Zhuoyue's body tremble. It was obvious that he was also afraid of something.
Su Liancheng stood up and said, "Okay, okay, let's go first and let our fathers have a good chat."
Then, Su Liancheng led his younger generations away.
However, Su Liancheng sent the others back to Fujinglou Restaurant, and he himself went to find Feng Ruoruo and the three little girls.
Everyone else left, leaving only a few of Su Ji's teacher brothers.
When facing each other, everyone really doesn’t know what to say
Finally, it was the ninth brother, Sun Mingxing, who spoke up: "Jinrong, are you feeling better? We really didn't know you were in such poor health, otherwise we would have definitely gone to see you."
As soon as Sun Mingxing finished speaking, the sixth brother, Lu Yongjun, also said, "Yes, yes, we wanted to go see you."
The fifth brother, Dai Feng, also nodded: "Yes, yes."
When Shi Jinbin heard a few people say this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Chen Wei, you are really incompetent as a senior brother? Isn't it your junior sister who caused Jinrong to be like this? You didn't even tell the brothers?"
When Chen Wei heard Shi Jinbin's words, he also smiled bitterly, and he could clearly hear the anger hidden in Shi Jinbin's words.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Wei stepped forward and bowed deeply to Su Jinrong in the wheelchair: "Jinrong, I apologize for the harm Lan Xin has caused you."
Shi Jinbin still sneered and asked, "Chen Wei, can you still represent your junior sister now?"
Chen Wei raised his head and said helplessly, "Jin Bin, I know you have been paying attention to our affairs. You must also know that Lan Xin and I have divorced, so I am indeed no longer qualified to represent her."
Shi Jinbin continued, "Then let your junior sister apologize herself."
Chen Wei shook his head again: "Sorry, I can't do it."
Shi Jinbin continued to press him: "Chen Wei, after all these years, you can't even take care of your little sister? You are such a failure as a senior brother. You are really an old man."
Every word Shi Jinbin said did not conceal his sarcasm towards Chen Wei.
Although the fellow students standing behind Chen Wei felt it was very irritating, no one dared to speak.
Especially when they saw Su Jinrong sitting in a wheelchair, the fellow disciples felt a little too embarrassed to face him.
These brothers of Su Ji are not shameless people. If they were really like that, they would not have been able to join Su Ji and learn cooking from Grandpa Su.
It is precisely because they are all people who love noodles and are very particular about the inheritance of their master.
So over the years, the fellow disciples really didn't dare to go back to Su Ji even once.
Because according to the orthodox rules of the sect, what they did back then was considered betrayal of the sect.
And after that, they all failed miserably, so how could they have the face to come back to Su Ji
So when they met Su Jinrong, the chef of Su's, these brothers naturally felt guilty and even dared not to look him in the eye.
Facing Shi Jinbin's rude and aggressive pressure, Chen Wei could only say helplessly: "Jinbin, I don't think you came here today to discuss an explanation with me, right? If you really want to discuss an explanation with me, then Jinrong, just speak up. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Shi Jinbin sneered and said, "What if Jinrong wants you to hand over Fujing Building?"
Chen Wei looked helpless again: "I really can't do this. Fujing Building was nominally acquired by our company, but in fact the controlling shareholder is Lian Cheng."
Shi Jinbin asked: "Isn't that your son?"
Without waiting for Chen Wei to speak, Shi Jinbin continued, "Oh, by the way, he can't be considered your son. He is Su Lanxin's son. You are divorced, and his last name is Su. He has nothing to do with you."
Chen Wei was really criticized by Shi Jinbin and was worthless.
But Chen Wei never got angry, and didn't even say a word in rebuttal.
Finally, Su Jinrong spoke up: "Brother Shitou, okay, let's not talk about the past anymore. Today, we are here to watch a cooking competition."
As soon as Su Jinrong opened his mouth, almost all of his fellow disciples fell silent and listened to him patiently until he finished speaking.
If someone who does not understand the relationship between these old men sees this, they may feel very strange and think that Su Jinrong sitting in a wheelchair could be a big shot.
But in fact, the reason why the fellow disciples patiently listened to Su Jinrong finish his words.
This includes the guilt that the fellow disciples felt, as well as their respect for Su Ji.
In any case, Su Ji is the place where they learned skills and acquired the skills they have today, even though these skills may have been abandoned by some people.
Even though they followed Junior Sister in betraying their master.
But in the minds of their fellow disciples, Su Ji is still sacred and inviolable.
So when they face Su Jinrong, they will show caution, or they always face Su Jinrong with guilt.
After listening to Su Jinrong's words, the sixth brother Lu Yongjun immediately said, "Yes, Jinrong is right. Let's go check out the registration for the cooking competition. I heard there are quite a few folk masters."
The fifth brother, Dai Feng, also said, "Well, it's good to go and take a look at the young chefs nowadays."
Sun Mingxing didn't say anything, but he didn't object to going to see it either.
Chen Wei finally said, "Well, if you want to go and see it, let's go together. We can just check out the registration process there and see if there are any amazing chefs showing up."
Shi Jinbin also agreed: "Let's go and take a look."
The teacher and his brothers walked together towards the registration site for the competition.
There are still a lot of people registering here. Fujinglou and Su Lanxin Company have sent people to maintain order, and people from the catering association are also supervising.
Seeing Chen Wei and his group coming, many people immediately surrounded them and were very polite to Chen Wei.
When Jiang Zhongjian came over, he first greeted Chen Wei and Su Jinrong, and even specifically greeted Sun Mingxing.
However, when he saw Shi Jinbin pushing Su Jinrong, his eyes focused on Shi Jinbin's face and looked at him carefully for a while.
Suddenly Jiang Zhongjian recognized Shi Jinbin: "Are you, are you Chef Shi from the Beijing Red Maple Hotel?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Jinbin looked at Jiang Zhongjian and asked, "I'm Shi Jinbin. I used to work at the Red Maple Hotel. Do you know me?"
When Jiang Zhongjian heard this, he immediately knew that the other party had admitted it, so he quickly said, "Chef Shi, I really didn't expect you to come here in person. It's really our honor that you can come and guide us."
Shi Jinbin was a little amused by what Jiang Zhongjian said: "No, no, I'm just an old chef, how can I give you guidance?"
Jiang Zhongjian did not give up: "No, no, Chef Shi, you are too modest. I have heard of you at the Red Maple Hotel before. You are not an ordinary person. You are the head chef of the Red Maple Hotel."
Shi Jinbin waved his hand: "No, I'm really not a head chef anymore."
Jiang Zhongjian continued, "But you were once one of them. You must give us some guidance and say a few words to us."
No one expected that Jiang Zhongjian would be so enthusiastic after recognizing Shi Jinbin.
Before, Jiang Zhongjian was quite polite to Chen Wei and Sun Mingxing.
But he has never been so enthusiastic, and when he treated Shi Jinbin, he clearly showed an attitude of lowering his own status.
It is also completely different from the equal dialogue with Chen Wei and Sun Mingxing.
Shi Jinbin did not give in to Jiang Zhongjian's enthusiasm. "Really, please don't be like this. I came here to have fun after retirement and to see my old brother. As for guidance and speeches, I really can't do it, let alone interviews."
Jiang Zhongjian felt very sorry after being rejected by Shi Jinbin.
I originally wanted to ask Su Jinrong to help persuade him.
But Su Jinrong also said: "We are old and will not participate anymore."
Jiang Zhongjian had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since both of you said so, then I respect you two. If there is a chance, I still hope that you two can guide our game."
Shi Jinbin, on behalf of Su Jinrong, said: "We will continue to pay attention."
Jiang Zhongjian was quite satisfied with this. He said goodbye to a few people with a smile and continued to organize some things on the scene.
After Jiang Zhongjian left, the fellow disciples looked at Shi Jinbin together. The second oldest Ma Wenjing, the fifth oldest Dai Feng, and the sixth oldest Lu Yongjun were really jealous.
You know, Jiang Zhongjian didn't have such an attitude towards them, and he wouldn't even include them when greeting them.
However, it is obvious from Jiang Zhongjian's attitude towards Shi Jinbin that he not only has a liking for Shi Jinbin, but his eyes also reveal deep admiration for him.
However, on second thought, Shi Jinbin was once the head chef of the Red Maple Hotel in Beijing.
Naturally, the fellow disciples could only envy.
The brothers knew very well what kind of restaurant the Red Maple Restaurant in Beijing was and what it meant to be the head chef there.
Now, the fellow disciples really have a certain degree of awe towards Shi Jinbin.
Because to be honest, Shi Jinbin has inherited his master's true legacy and has caught up with his master.
In fact, none of their other fellow disciples, including Chen Wei, could catch up with their master.
Chen Wei sighed: "Jin Bin, we brothers should really thank you. It is you who has preserved the reputation of our master, and only you have caught up with our master's pace."
Shi Jinbin looked at Chen Wei and the others and said, "Do you still have the nerve to mention Master?"
Su Jinrong raised his hand to stop his brother from getting angry: "Brother, stop talking. Father should be satisfied."
Although Shi Jinbin had always been very respectful to Su Jinrong, he continued this time: "Okay, let's not talk about that. But it's fine if they didn't go to see you, but after being here for so long, has anyone gone to see Master? Has anyone kowtowed to Master and admitted their mistakes?"
Hearing Shi Jinbin's words, all the fellow disciples were stunned.
After a long while, the ninth elder Sun Mingxing suddenly covered his face and cried, "Master, I, I am sorry, Master. Master, Mingxing really knows I was wrong."
After Sun Mingxing cried like this, the other brothers also looked sad and felt extremely guilty.
Chen Wei stepped forward and asked on behalf of his fellow apprentices, "Jinrong, are you willing to let us go see Master? We, we really have always wanted to kowtow to Master and admit our mistakes."
Su Jinrong looked at his senior brothers who were already old men, especially seeing the ninth senior brother burst into tears.
After hesitating for a while, Su Jinrong nodded with some sadness: "Go, father, he will be willing to see us go."
