Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Brainwashing (Two Chapters Combined)

Moreover, the people in B city have seen a lot, and they might not even take a liking to your restaurant.

The dishes may taste good here, but once you get to B city, they might just seem ordinary.

Open a branch?

Don’t even talk about opening a branch. Make sure the first store you open in B city can sustain itself first!

"Have you chosen the staff for your restaurant in B city, like chefs and waiters?" Shi Jiumei asked.

"Not yet," Ye Ning replied, thinking Shi Jiumei wanted to recommend herself.

But with Shi Jiumei’s level of cooking skills, Ye Ning wasn’t impressed.

"I plan to recruit, select some people. They must have experience working in big restaurants to be worthy of our high-end restaurant," Ye Ning said.

The implication was that Shi Jiumei shouldn’t even think about it.

This time, Shi Jiumei didn’t catch on to Ye Ning’s implication.

Because she wasn’t interested in doing that at all.

Who would want to stay in the kitchen all day with such hard work?

Shi Jiumei said, "If you need any help, just let me know. I know a lot of excellent chefs."

Ye Ning’s eyes lit up as she said, "Actually, there is."

"Oh?" Shi Jiumei responded.

Ye Ning said, "You watched today’s live competition, right? I feel sorry for Chen Zhengping, who got eliminated."

"He’s talented, ranks high among the contestants. It was just because he didn’t perform well today that he got eliminated. Otherwise, he should have advanced today," Ye Ning said.

Previously, Ye Ning had mentioned to Xu Huizhen, not knowing that Ye Fei was also participating in the cooking competition.

Ye Ning’s purpose for watching the cooking competition was to see if there were any skilled chefs who got eliminated due to bad luck.

Chen Zhengping perfectly met her criteria.

His culinary skills ranked high, but his luck was terrible.

Moreover, Chen Zhengping was eliminated at the top 15 stage, making it hard for people to remember his name.

Even if he applied to restaurants, it would be hard to use this experience to his advantage.

As for positions like head chef, it’s difficult for him to get into well-known restaurants.

And for those restaurants that would let him be a head chef, clearly, Chen Zhengping wouldn’t be interested.

Ye Ning felt lucky; she had been hoping to find someone like this, and she did.

There couldn’t be a more suitable candidate than Chen Zhengping.

The most important thing was that seeing Chen Zhengping’s reaction after losing, it was likely he blamed Ye Fei for his loss.

Even through the screen, Ye Ning could sense Chen Zhengping’s anger towards Ye Fei’s meddling.

Behind the camera, Chen Zhengping’s hatred for Ye Fei must be deeper.

"It’s a pity he didn’t advance," Ye Ning said. "Given his current situation, it might be difficult for him to work at his dream restaurant."

"If you can get in touch with him, why not introduce the two of us?" Ye Ning said to Shi Jiumei, "Our restaurant is just starting in B city, but I guarantee it will become famous. As long as he does well, the head chef position will always be his."

"And, just like the relationship between Qiwei and Gu Changfeng, I can make him and our restaurant mutually successful," Ye Ning said.

Shi Jiumei was a bit surprised that Ye Ning knew about Qiwei and Gu Changfeng’s story.

She really thought Ye Ning was a country bumpkin.

"You just need to introduce us, and I’ll take it from there," Ye Ning said.

The most important point is that neither of them could stand Ye Fei doing well.

This would solidify their unbreakable partnership.

Ye Ning was confident that Chen Zhengping would definitely come to her restaurant.

"No problem," Shi Jiumei agreed readily.

***

While Shi Jiumei was discussing with the Ye Family, the timeline moves slightly earlier.

At the competition venue.

The contestants first went back to the backstage.

The audience left first.

Because there were so many audience members.

To ensure they could leave quickly and orderly.

Therefore, the audience was let out first.

Ordinary audience members left through various exits of the venue.

VIP audience members had their own passage.

The contestants had to wait backstage for a while.

After the crowd thinned out, they would leave.

Ding Ruyun and Fu Jiaxu walked towards the backstage together.

She didn’t know if she was overthinking, but she felt that only Fu Jiaxu was willing to walk with her now.

Everyone else seemed to deliberately distance themselves from her.

Even if she lost the competition, after leaving today, it might be hard to see them again.

So, even if they distanced themselves, it didn’t matter.

But still, Ding Ruyun felt uncomfortable.

"Did everyone listen to Xue Jieyu, thinking poorly of me?" Ding Ruyun said quietly.

"They were just influenced, that’s all. I’ll talk to them later, and they’ll come around," Fu Jiaxu said softly.

"You didn’t harm them, and everyone is in a competitive relationship anyway. Xue Jieyu not getting ingredients was not your fault, yet she had the nerve to ask you?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"You didn’t give it, and she had the nerve to blame you? Clearly, she was in the wrong," Fu Jiaxu said dismissively, "Anyone who got asked would have refused too. If Xue Jieyu asked someone else, would they actually agree?"

"It’s just Ye Fei putting on a show, pretending to be a good person. She’s aware of her bad reputation and wants to use this opportunity to redeem herself," Fu Jiaxu felt he saw through Ye Fei, "Those people are really foolish."

"Ye Fei’s actions are so obvious, and they still fall for it," Fu Jiaxu said indifferently.

"Besides this, they surely believe I sabotaged the ingredients," Ding Ruyun said aggrievedly, "But I really didn’t."

"I know, I believe you," Fu Jiaxu said, "Ye Fei isn’t falsely accusing someone for the first time."

"She has always been pushing Shi Jiumei out, forcing Shi Jiumei to leave. Now, seeing you’re popular, she’s targeting you," Fu Jiaxu said.

Ding Ruyun didn’t expect that before she could even get to Fu Jiaxu, he had already talked himself into it.

This guy is quite a talent!

Ding Ruyun looked at Fu Jiaxu with surprise.

She clearly saw the affection on Fu Jiaxu’s face.

Because he liked her, Fu Jiaxu instantly fell into the mindset of someone in love, thinking everything she did was right and understandable.

If anyone said Ding Ruyun was bad, they must be framing her.

Ding Ruyun understood what Fu Jiaxu meant.

Instead of avoiding Fu Jiaxu, she looked at him with teary eyes and said emotionally, "I never expected that through it all, you would always believe in me without changing."

"After all, we came out together," Fu Jiaxu said spiritedly, "Just wait, I’ll definitely gain something from this competition. I’ll work hard to advance, and once I’m famous, no matter where I work, I’ll have you in mind."
