He Chengqing, who had been a spoiled rich second-generation since childhood and was known as the big sister in the wealthy circle of Yanjing and the number one white, rich and beautiful princess, was called poor for the first time in her life. The key point was that she had no way to refute it at all.
Sister Han is right. The total assets of the He family are not as much as the assets Han Yuyan currently holds, not to mention that He Chengqing's personal assets that can be used are only tens of millions...
Compared with Sister Han, it is not unfair to say that He Chengqing is poor.
And this sound of "poor" made He Chengqing think of a dream. Ye Chui not only had an apprentice worth 18 billion, but also a girlfriend worth 18 billion...
As a rich and beautiful woman, it was He Chengqing's habit to look down on people with their money. However, in this aspect that she relied on to show off, she suddenly discovered that she was the one who was being despised. This discovery suddenly gave her an indescribable sense of frustration.
This also made her angry almost crazy.
She drove at full speed, drove away from Chinatown, and finally stopped at the side of the road, angrily slapping the keyboard, spewing a series of obscene insults, even her eyes had turned bloodshot.
The cell phone suddenly rang.
She was very annoyed, but after looking at the caller ID, she tried to calm her anger, answered the call, and said in English with a flattering and hoarse voice: "Mr. Davis."
"I heard that Ye Chui just won the third game in Chinatown?" The man named Davis said in a cold voice, "You promised that he would lose this game."
"Something went wrong..." He Chengqing said hurriedly.
"You've made enough mistakes since you met Ye Chui at the Huaxia Spring Banquet!" Davis' voice was mixed with a little anger.
"I won't do it again next time, I promise!" Cold sweat had already seeped out of He Chengqing's face. She held an important position in Food King Enterprise, but it was obviously not high enough. Davis had the right to fire her directly. He was her immediate superior.
"I've heard enough of your promises!" Davis said coldly, "I plan to go to Chinatown in person to meet this Ye Chui. Please help me arrange a meeting with him!"
He Chengqing's face suddenly turned pale: "Mr. Davis, you want to meet Ye Chui? This..."
"do you have any opinion?"
"No, no, I just..."
"I'm in London taking care of things and will be in San Francisco in three days. By then I hope you've arranged everything."
After finishing his words, Davis simply hung up the phone.
In the car, He Chengqing's body was shaking with anger. She clenched her teeth tightly. It was unknown whether she had bitten her tongue or her lips. A trickle of bright red blood slowly flowed down...
…
Ye Chui had only been in Chinatown for a week, and during this week, he had already challenged three restaurants: Chen's Restaurant, Peng's Restaurant, and Shen Jiao. He had made the owners of the three restaurants acknowledge that they belonged to the Chinese cuisine heritage, and vowed never to participate in the independence of Chinatown cuisine in the future. Even the proprietress of Chen's Restaurant became Ye Chui's apprentice, and the owner of Shen Jiao promised to do everything in his power to help Ye Chui.
Ye Chui's one-week trip to Chinatown was quickly reported back to China through Li Xiuyun's special report, and was published on the front page of the latest issue of Food Weekly on the second day of the Shenjiao Challenge.
"I challenged Chinatown on my own. Three of the seven major hotels have already surrendered. Ye Chui's journey to Chinatown continues."
It was early morning in Manhan Building, and the busy workday had not yet begun. Tian Xiaodu, who had just arrived at Manhan Building, was sitting in the lobby flipping through the food magazine he had just bought on the road. When he saw the first report in the magazine, he couldn't help but reveal a smug expression on his fat face: "Hey, this report is really interesting. Master's challenge to Chinatown seems to be going smoothly. He has already taken down three restaurants in the first week. I guess we don't have to worry too much about the remaining ones."
"Uncle Tian, what are you looking at?" Wang Shiyu, who was rubbing her eyes, walked into the hall. When she saw Tian Xiaodu, she immediately ran over and said, "Hurry up and make breakfast. I'm in a hurry to go back to school."
"Don't you hate going to school? Why did you change your mind today?" Tian Xiaodu closed the magazine and put it on the table, looking at Wang Shiyu with a look of surprise. If it were other adults, they would definitely feel relieved to see their children so keen on going to school, but with Wang Shiyu, there was only one possibility: what is this naughty child planning to do again
"It's nothing. I suddenly found that going to school is a very interesting thing." Wang Shiyu said with an insincere smile.
Tian Xiaodu was just about to ask Wang Shiyu what she was planning to do, but An Xiaoxiao and Lin Weijing came running over from the backyard. Lin Wei asked hurriedly, "Uncle Tian, did you buy the latest issue of Food Weekly? I called Ye Chui yesterday, and he said that there would be a report about him in the latest issue of Food Weekly."
"Yes, I've bought it." Tian Xiaodu temporarily gave up questioning Wang Shiyu and handed the food magazine to the three girls.
The three girls immediately gathered around the magazine and started reading it.
They naturally knew all about Ye Chui's experiences in Chinatown, but they still wanted to see what Li Xiuyun wrote in the magazine. They wanted to know whether the article was well written.
Tian Xiaodu continued to look at Wang Shiyu, trying to continue the conversation.
"Uncle Tian, I'm starving. Please hurry up and make breakfast, otherwise we'll be late for school!" Wang Shiyu said with her hands on her hips and her chest puffed out.
Tian Xiaodu: "...Okay, I'll go prepare breakfast now."
Li Xiuyun's report is more than 5,000 words long. It describes Ye Chui's experience in Chinatown and even introduces the origin legends of such delicacies as Mapo Tofu, General Tso's Chicken and Laobian Dumplings. The Chinese words of Chen Tian, Peng Song and Shen Zhongda's surrender are also written word for word in the article.
"Mr. Ye Chui is taking on this challenge on behalf of China. He not only wants to defeat these restaurants in Chinatown, but most importantly, he wants to let the restaurants in Chinatown recognize their roots and let them understand that Chinatown cuisine originated from China. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Now Ye Chui's trip to Chinatown is still going on. We look forward to him bringing us more surprises. I believe Ye Chui will bring endless honors to the Chinese food industry. He is fighting on behalf of our Chinese food industry."
Li Xiuyun said this at the end of this article.
"Cool! It's a pity that I didn't go to Chinatown with my master." Although An Xiaoxiao couldn't recognize all the words, she still managed to read the entire article.
"It seems that Master Chinatown will definitely win this one-on-one challenge." Lin Wei also said with a smile, and then she thought of the promise she had made to Ye Chui before, that if Ye Chui won the challenge, she would agree to Ye Chui's request... Her face immediately turned red, but fortunately no one else saw it.
"But..." An Jing suddenly said in a low voice.
"What's wrong with An Jing?" Lin Wei looked at An Jing curiously. Ye Chui was showing his might, so shouldn't An Jing be happy? Why did she look so sad
"This report says that Master is taking on this challenge on behalf of China..." An Jing looked at Lin Wei and frowned slightly, "Is it really okay to say that?"
…
Quiet's concerns are not without reason.
Although Ye Chui won the Spring Banquet and was honored as China's number one chef, his cooking skills were recognized by the Chinese people to the greatest extent, but this recognition was also a burden and pressure. He represented the highest embodiment of Chinese cooking skills. Now he secretly ran to Chinatown and challenged Chinatown's representative dishes. This immediately made some people feel uncomfortable.
"Ye Chui is representing China in this challenge? Who asked him to represent? He just won the title of China's number one chef, so he really thinks he can represent our entire Chinese food industry?"
"What if he loses? Wouldn't that make our entire country lose face?"
"His behavior is reprehensible. Who gave him the right to represent our country?"
Similar remarks quickly spread on the Internet, and many people felt that they were "represented" and felt very unhappy.
In fact, many people are like this. If you help them do things without asking them at the beginning, they will be very happy if the things are done well in the end. But if the things are messed up, they will think you are meddling in their affairs. Who asked you to help them? Who gave you the qualification to represent them
There were voices of questioning on the Internet, as if Ye Chui had done something unforgivable, and this trend, under the hype of certain media outlets that were eager for something to happen, immediately became a craze. In just a few hours, the idea that China was represented by Ye Chui to challenge Chinatown became a hot topic on the Internet.
In the Internet age, this is naturally inevitable.
Chinese food culture has been in decline for many years, and someone needs to do something. But when someone really tries to do it, they don’t get the support of most people. This is a tragedy, but fortunately, not everyone blindly blames Ye Chui—
"I use my reputation to guarantee Ye Chui. I have known about his trip to Chinatown for a long time, and I fully support him. If he wins, it will be a good thing for the whole of China. If he loses, the worst that can happen is that I will lose my reputation. Regardless of whether he is qualified to challenge Chinatown on behalf of the whole of China, he is at least qualified to challenge on my behalf."
Mr. Han first took the initiative to contact a domestic food talk show and said very seriously.
As Mr. Han spoke out, the topic of “being represented” on the Internet became more and more popular… (~^~)
