Chapter 21 Bad Behavior
more than an hour ago.
He Yunchen learned that Ruan Tang was going to participate in the Chefs Association's assessment, worried that he would be targeted, so he drove to the headquarters of the Chefs Association.
Although he knew that someone was deliberately targeting Ruan Tang, he didn't know who it was, let alone which examination room Ruan Tang would go to for the assessment.
The Chefs Association has always wanted to cooperate with the military to promote natural food to the army. As He Yunchen fell in love with Ruan Tang's live broadcast and experienced the deliciousness of natural ingredients, he didn't have the initial interest in cooperation resist. And now, that's clearly a good reason.
As soon as he entered the chef association, he was immediately recognized by the receptionist. Knowing that he was looking for the president, he warmly welcomed him into the reception room, and then quickly reported to the president.
It didn't take long for a fat old man with a kind face to come in, his signature gray hair was neatly combed, and a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Why did Major General He come here today?" Gu Leji was a little surprised. He also knew about the anorexia of the young master of the He family. The other party has always hated natural ingredients, so why would he take the initiative to visit today
He Yunchen nodded to him, "To tell you the truth, I recently followed a food live broadcast on Xingwang. I know that this anchor will participate in the assessment of the Chefs Association today, so I want to take a look."
"Gourmet anchor?" Gu Leji was slightly surprised, and then thought of the new anchor who was in the limelight recently, and suddenly smiled, "Is it the one named Ruan Tang?"
He Yunchen nodded.
"I didn't expect that even Major General He would be impressed by his food. I think this kid's level is better than I imagined." Gu Leji knew how much He Yunchen resisted natural ingredients, and his ability was better than his father He Weiye. Even stronger, he is even more picky about the taste of food. Even the meals he cooks as a five-star chef are barely acceptable to this child, but he still doesn't want to eat more.
Now this rookie anchor named Ruan Tang was able to get his approval, which made Gu Leji look forward to him even more.
"Major General He wants to watch his assessment video?" The other party came here deliberately and mentioned Ruan Tang again. Naturally, Gu Leji didn't know what he meant, so he took the initiative to invite him.
Anyway, the assessment video will eventually be uploaded to the official website and made public for all citizens of the empire to watch. As long as the assessment discipline is not disturbed, it is no big deal to show him the assessment process. Gu Leji was more than happy to meet this small request of Major General He.
The two came to Gu Leji's office, Gu Leji turned on the optical brain projection, and through his president's authority, retrieved Ruan Tang's assessment information from the chef association's database, and found that his assessment had already started. It was directly connected to the surveillance camera in the examination room, so that he could watch his assessment process in real time.
In the video, Ruan Tang has just drawn lots and got five ingredients.
Seeing those five ingredients, Gu Leji's expression froze.
Chili is a new ingredient that was just announced today. Although it is also within the scope of the assessment database, generally speaking, the probability will be adjusted to be extremely low, and it will basically not appear in the candidates' assessment content, let alone combine the two New ingredients are drawn.
Moreover, Ruan Tang got more than two new ingredients. Except for an egg, which was a normal topic, the appearance of fish head and pork liver was even more outrageous.
Fish body is already a very difficult ingredient to cook. Before Ruan Tang made the fish live, it was even removed from the assessment database. It wasn't until Ruan Tang demonstrated how to handle the fish in the live broadcast that they added the fish to the assessment database again.
Usually the whole fish is given in the test. Unless it is a very large fish, it is possible to cut it into pieces. However, fish heads with no meat and fish tails full of thorns are unwelcome scraps. The assessment is to test the ability, not deliberately make people difficult, so this part of the materials will not be distributed to the candidates in principle.
The appearance of pig liver is even more outrageous. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, fish heads and pig livers are part of fish and pigs, and should also be a kind of food, but Gu Leji is very clear that these are leftovers. The internal organs of animals contain many bacteria and impurities, are fishy and smelly, and cannot be eaten at the root. They should be disposed of directly instead of being used as ingredients for distribution to candidates!
Obviously someone tampered with the chef assessment!
The population of the empire is hundreds of billions. There are countless candidates who sign up for the Chefs Association assessment every month, but there are very few candidates who can really achieve excellent results. The failure of the chef association has always been a matter of great concern to Gu Leji, and the chef assessment is an important channel for digging out good seedlings to cultivate, so Gu Leji attaches great importance to it.
In order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the assessment, Gu Leji has formulated a regulation that all assessment content must be recorded in video and uploaded to the official website of the Chefs Association. In the holographic mode, all citizens of the empire can taste the dishes made by the candidates and express their opinions through scoring. If the evaluation score of the candidates who passed the assessment was too low, it would be verified by the supervision department of the Chefs Association. If it was indeed not worthy of the name, the chef qualification would be disqualified, and the chief examiner at that time would also be severely punished. vice versa.
If the candidates who will be able to pass the assessment insist on not passing, the punishment for the chief examiner will only be more severe. Therefore, such a thing has never happened in the chef assessment for many years.
Gu Leji never expected that someone would tamper with the ingredients in the assessment. Ruan Tang got these ingredients, which was tantamount to announcing his failure in the assessment in advance.
If he hadn't discovered it by accident, maybe this matter would have been covered up like this. Even if the video was uploaded to the official website later, the people of the empire would not be willing to taste ingredients such as fish head and pork liver. If you don't go, you will naturally not attract the attention of the supervisory department, and then this matter will be completely covered up.
Thinking of this, his face became even more frosty.
He Yunchen saw his expression, and then looked at the ingredients Ruan Tang picked up, so he naturally knew that he was deliberately targeted. But the one sitting next to him was the president of the Chef Association. Out of consideration for the other party's face, he didn't speak hastily. Chairman, Qi Zhuo.
When investigating the group of people who went to Ruan Tang's live broadcast to make trouble, his mother Ran Jing guessed that this person was behind the scenes. Qi Zhuo is very ambitious, but at the same time does not have the matching IQ and ability. Qi Zhuo does have a certain talent in cooking, otherwise the previous old president of the Chefs Association would not have accepted him as a closed disciple, but he only knows how to preach and doesn't know how to innovate, so he is the president. is incompetent.
Qi Zhuo is dissatisfied with his current position, which is not a secret among several high-level circles. But President Gu has been concentrating on research and doesn't like to associate with powerful people. Because he came from the same school as Master Qi Zhuo and has always trained him as his successor, he has been confused until now, allowing the other party to form cliques in the association for personal gain, and trying to Elevate yourself.
But from today's perspective, Qi Zhuo's behavior has obviously touched the bottom line of this soft-spoken and kind old man. In recent years, Gu Leji has also realized that Qi Zhuo's limited qualifications are not the best candidate to succeed the chairman of the Chefs Association, and the fault of the Chefs Association in the younger generation of outstanding chefs has always been a heart disease of Gu Leji. He very much hopes There can be a person with excellent talent and ability to lead the Chefs Association to continue to develop and grow, and to spread the deliciousness of natural ingredients in the empire.
Now this person has finally appeared, but he is about to be under Qi Zhuo's secret operation, and will not be able to obtain a chef certificate.
How could he just ignore such a thing
He has to intervene.
He took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Major General He, I may need to go out for a while, please forgive me."
He Yunchen also got up, and stretched out his hand to help the old man who was trembling because of being too angry, "President Gu, my hovering car is just outside, if you are in a hurry, why not let me take you there."
Gu Leji hesitated for a moment, but still heaved a sigh of relief, and said heavily, "Okay."
If possible, he certainly hopes that his family ugliness will not be publicized, but obviously, due to his indulgence to Qi Zhuo these years, his once cheerful and enthusiastic fellow apprentice has become more and more presumptuous, and has already changed beyond recognition. Today's Qi Zhuo is just a cancer of the Chefs Association. Together with his henchmen, it has become a quagmire that hinders the continued development of the Chefs Association, crowding out capable people and not thinking about the right way. Despite the pain in his heart, Gu Leji also had to clearly realize that now is the best time to get rid of this cancer and clean up the ethos of the Chefs Association.
Even under the witness of the people of the entire empire.
The two hurriedly left the headquarters of the Chefs Association, took He Yunchen's suspension speed car, and rushed to the branch examination room where Ruan Tang was.
However, the hovering car does not need to be driven manually, it can automatically reach the destination only by inputting the location, so Gu Leji and He Yunchen are still paying attention to the progress of Ruan Tang's assessment on the flying car.
Seeing him handling those tricky ingredients neatly without the slightest panic on his face, Gu Leji's evaluation of him was a little higher.
When their flying car arrived at their destination, Ruan Tang's three dishes just happened to be ready. Looking at the three brightly colored and attractive dishes, Gu Leji suddenly felt that he might be too preconceived. Those ingredients that he thought were used by Qi Zhuo to deliberately make things difficult for Ruan Tang might not be as he imagined. Generally useless.
His eyes lit up when he looked at Ruan Tang, this kid might be the next five-star chef!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.
But in order not to disturb the examinees who were waiting for the assessment or who were being assessed, Gu Leji deliberately walked in through the back door of the branch. When they went up, Qi Zhuo was giving a speech. They were at the door, watching him coldly demote Ruan Tang to nothing, and joined forces with two other invigilators to insult him.
The anger in Gu Leji's heart suddenly burned.
When he saw Ruan Tang argue hard and explain without being humble or overbearing, he felt even more distressed. When Qi Zhuo made it clear that he was going to bully others and directly judged that Ruan Tang had failed the examination, huge anger and disappointment hit him instantly, making his eyes go dark.
He Yunchen immediately reached out to support him, and at the same time pushed the door open, took a step forward, and announced in the same tone as Qi Zhuo:
"Unfortunately, Vice President Qi, your invigilation qualification has been cancelled."
Seeing that the other party was still trying to argue, Gu Leji took a step forward, and asked with a cold face, "Qi Zhuo! Do you know what you are doing?!"
Guilty flashed in Qi Zhuo's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. He squeezed out a smile and said, "President, I don't know what you're talking about. There may be some misunderstanding in this matter..."
"Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding?! I saw the entire assessment process clearly. Do you want me to call the people from the Supervisory Committee to see what good things you have done?"
When Qi Zhuo heard the words "Supervisory Committee", Qi Zhuo's face suddenly changed, but the matter has come to this point, he must not just admit it like this, this is in front of the people of the entire interstellar, once he admits it, not only will all his business operations for so many years be destroyed. It will be destroyed once, and he may be hopeless in the days to come! So he gritted his teeth and said, "President, I don't understand what you mean... I am doing things according to the regulations of our association..."
"Really? Do you dare to say that it's not you to deliberately send ingredients that are not part of the assessment content to candidates in the future? You dare to say that it's not you to deliberately insult the candidates' results with words? You said that the three dishes of others are disgusting. How dare you touch them?" Your conscience says, are these dishes really that bad?"
Qi Zhuo was rendered speechless by President Gu's rare toughness, "I..."
Gu Leji laughed back angrily, and shouted: "Since you can't taste it, then I will taste it for you!"
Qi Zhuo wanted to stop him, but when He Yunchen's tall figure turned to the side and his cold eyes fell on him, he didn't dare to move rashly.
Gu Leji picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of chili grandmother's egg. The egg was soft and fragrant, and it did have a bit of spiciness, but it was well neutralized by the taste of the egg itself. It actually brought some sweet juice, which is very surprising to eat.
He gave Qi Zhuo a hard look, then stretched out his chopsticks towards the green pepper pork liver.
After the thing entered, his eyes lit up immediately. The pork liver didn't have the stench in his memory at all. Instead, it was salty and tender, and the green pepper was also crispy and tender. The combination of the two was perfect, and a piece of pork liver actually tasted better than pork.
As for the bitter taste, it is even more nonsense.
He picked up the spoon again and tasted the fish soup. Not to mention the fishy smell, it was so delicious that one wanted to close his eyes and enjoy it.
Obviously, Qi Zhuo and the three of them were just talking nonsense with their eyes open!
"Qi Zhuo, Guo Lin, Zhou Jian, what do you three have to say?!" Gu Leji looked at Qi Zhuo and the two people beside him with a serious expression.
When Guo Lin and Zhou Jian saw Gu Leji moving his chopsticks to try the dishes, they already realized that something was wrong. After all, they had personally tasted the three dishes and knew exactly what they tasted like.
Thinking of the punishment they were about to face, the two couldn't help but said, "President, we know we were wrong, we were wrong, and Ruan Tang's dishes are actually very good." They couldn't help but glance at Qi Zhuo, but Qi Zhuo didn't When you can't protect yourself, how can you take care of them? The two felt even more regretful, and couldn't help crying: "We are obsessed with ghosts, President, help us, help us..."
At this point, it became very clear that Qi Zhuo, Guo Lin, and Zhou Jian used their power to deliberately make things difficult for candidates, which had seriously violated the regulations of the Chefs Association.
Gu Leji closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I announce that the three of you will be disqualified as invigilators, and all positions in the chef association will be suspended, pending investigation and further processing by the supervisory committee."
up. Qi Zhuo's heart turned cold. Seeing that his many years of planning were about to be destroyed, he couldn't help shouting out of control: "No! You can't do this to me!"
He sneered, and miraculously calmed down at this time, "I am the four-star chef of the empire, and I am also the vice president personally appointed by His Majesty. You have no right to dispose of me. If you dispose of me, the empire will lose a Precious four-star chef, without me, the development plan of the empire's natural ingredients will be greatly affected, Gu Leji, can you take this responsibility?"
Qi Zhuoyue became more excited when he spoke, and couldn't help laughing, "Speaking of which, I really thank you and the master for releasing the water. Does this count as shooting yourself in the foot? Huh? Senior brother? Hahahahaha—— Gu Leji, if you can't find someone to fill my vacancy, you can't dismiss me! You can't take this responsibility!"
"Who said he couldn't find anyone?"
Ruan Tang was by the side for a long time, and he probably understood the grievances involved. Seeing that Qi Zhuo was going to be arrogant again, he couldn't help but take a step forward to interrupt his delusions.
"Isn't it a four-star chef? I'll do it."
