When Mr. Zhou saw He Jing, he waved at her and gestured for her to go over. He Jing obediently went forward and Mr. Zhou said, “Miss He Jing, let me introduce you. These are the judges of this competition. They are all big shots in the food industry. Everyone, this is the chef that my Zhou’s Restaurant will be sending out. Her name is He Jing. Please take care of her.”
He Jing greeted them obediently, “Hello, judges.”
Then, she couldn’t help but curse in her heart. So she was going to take an open -book exam?
The judges were all smart people. They smiled at He Jing and praised her, “A young talent emerges. To be able to shoulder such a responsibility at such a young age. The future of Zhou’s Restaurant looks promising.”
Just as the compliments were flowing, an extremely discordant voice interrupted, “Ah, so this is the head chef of Zhou’s Restaurant. What a small girl. ”
Everyone paused and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a
limousine stop.
The car door opened, and a leather shoe extended out from it. Then, a middle-aged, slightly plump man was exposed in front of everyone. His face was full of smiles, like a smiling tiger.
He was dressed in a well-fitted suit and leather shoes. He appeared meticulous, with even the buttons on his chest had been carefully polished.
Then, another man in a white chef’s uniform walked down. He held a chef’s hat in his arms. It was obvious that he was the head chef of Prosperous Restaurant.
The smiling tiger walked up to the crowd in a few steps. He first glanced at Mr. Zhou, then at He Jing. He reached out his hand as if he wanted to touch her head. “This is Miss He Jing, right?”
Being able to accurately call her by her name didn’t surprise He Jing. She believed that Prosperity Restaurant had already collected her information for the sake of winning.
Mr. Zhou was about to intervene when Zhou Xue’er suddenly rushed over and pulled He Jing behind her. With her head held high, she displayed clear disgust on her face and said, “Speak if you have something to say. Don’t use your hands recklessly.”
The smiling tiger was neither angry nor annoyed. He looked at Zhou Xue’er with a smile. “Ah, Xue’er has grown so big.”
“Pah.”
Zhou Xue’er didn’t want to hear her name being called out by him at all. She hugged He Jing’s arm and pulled her to the side, then said,
“This damned fatty is called Liu Fu. Back then, my dad took him in when he was down and out. In the end, he stole Zhou’s Restaurant’s recipe and poached chefs from Zhou’s Restaurant. He then established Prosperous Restaurant opposite Zhou’s Restaurant. He’s a living ingrate.”
“He was the one who initiated this competition. He wanted to drive our Zhou family out of A City. My father has tolerated him for so many years and has had enough. If we lose this competition, the Zhou family will be kicked out of A City, and if he loses, the Prosperous Restaurant will be permanently closed down.”
“In short, it’s either you die or I live. He Jing, you must win!”
He Jing listened quietly. She gently freed her arm and said, “I’ll do my best.” Zhou Xue’er saw He Jing’s reaction and felt a lump in her throat. Her chest was tight, but she couldn’t do anything about it. She could only watch as she walked into the building.
The competition was held on the third floor of the building. The venue was vast. It was probably because the organizers of this competition had deliberately created a gimmick. Not only were there many media reporters at the venue but tickets were even sold for spectators to watch the competition.
As soon as He Jing entered, a staff member approached her for registration. After confirming her name, they guided her to the backstage.
He Jing changed into her competition uniform. The white chef’s uniform was even looser on her body, and the chef’s hat was so big that it could cover her eyes if it was a little lower.
At first glance, she looked like a child who was secretly wearing adult clothes. She looked a little funny, but her cold and indifferent expression made people unable to belittle her..
