Chapter 458: Nannan, Grandma Is Calling You to Come Home for Dinner (Notification at the End of the Article)
"Mr. Sun, are you still going to the banquet for 12 people tomorrow?"
When Sun Dongming was watering the flowers at home, his assistant came over and asked.
Although he is a top chef, he likes his assistant to call him Mr. Sun.
"When was the last time?"
"The last time was a week ago, and you went to do it."
The assistant replied.
"Then I won't go this time."
"Okay."
After the assistant left, Sun Dongming looked at his flowers with satisfaction.
"If you want the flowers to grow well, you can't water them every day."
Putting down the shower in his hand, Sun Dongming sat down on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV.
His daily schedule is quite regular, watering flowers, taking a walk, entertaining, watching news, and cooking.
Although he rarely studies new dishes, he can't give up some of his specialties.
Sun Dongming is still clear about what he relied on to get his current status.
He pressed the remote control in his hand, and suddenly, a picture of cooking appeared in front of him.
As a top chef, and in Yanzhou, there are dozens of cooking programs on TV every day.
But this time, Sun Dongming did not jump away.
"This filming team is quite capable."
Putting down the remote control, Sun Dongming began to watch the program.
Although he started from the middle, it did not affect the overall viewing experience.
When the last song sounded, Sun Dongming could not help but feel sad for a while.
"The quality of the program is good, but the cooking skills in it are too rough, which is the level of ordinary roadside restaurants, not even junior chefs."
Sun Dongming secretly said it was a pity and picked up the remote control again.
But when he jumped to the official channel of Yanzhou again, he was stunned.
Because at this time, the content being explained on the news of the official channel was exactly the program he had just watched.
"There are a thousand hands, and there are a thousand flavors..."
"A Bite of Yanzhou shows the most authentic and simple side of our Yanzhou..."
"When chefs pursue the pinnacle of cooking, they should not forget its original appearance. Don't forget that food is made for people to eat, not for marketing or to raise the price..."
Listening to the words from the host's mouth, Sun Dongming only felt a buzzing in his ears.
"What is this? What is this host talking about!"
Sun Dongming's face flushed.
"What is the original appearance? What is marketing? What is raising the price? Can you take responsibility for talking like this!"
The host didn't mention any specific names, but every sentence pointed to him, Sun Dongming.
Among the top chefs, who else can bear such an evaluation besides him?
On weekdays, Sun Dongming doesn't care what his netizens say.
But now, Yanzhou News has said it. He wants to not care, but does he dare?
After all, he is just a cook!
Suddenly, Sun Dongming thought of something and immediately took out his mobile phone to call his assistant.
"Tomorrow's dinner will not be cancelled, as usual! All the banquets that have been sold will not be cancelled!"
After talking with the assistant, Sun Dongming called several internal people he knew, but the people who had talked to him before spoke very officially this time.
Even when he asked about the topic of "A Bite of Yanzhou", the other party didn't want to talk at all, which made Sun Dongming feel a little uneasy.
After thinking about it, he still called the top chef who had the highest status among the top chefs but whom he didn't like to contact.
"Mr. Yan, how are you doing recently..."
Before Sun Dongming finished his greetings, he heard words that made him palpitate.
"Sun Dongming, go online when you have nothing to do, and keep up with the times. Also, come to the Chefs Association in a week to announce your retirement, that's it."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Sun Dongming looked ashen.
How did it suddenly become like this?
"Seal the chef? I won't! What can you do to me!"
Sun Dongming's stunned face suddenly turned ferocious.
Then, he thought of what Yan Mingzhou mentioned about surfing the Internet.
After calling the assistant, Sun Dongming asked the assistant to show him what was being discussed on the Internet.
After listening to Sun Dongming's words, the assistant directly opened the hot search.
When he saw the topics on the hot search rankings, his face changed.
Although Sun Dongming can't surf the Internet, he can read!
On the hot search rankings, the words "Sun Dongming is not worthy of being a special chef" were so bright that they hurt his eyes.
"Show me, show me what they are talking about!"
The assistant carefully clicked into the topic, and after a while, Sun Dongming next to him fainted without a word.
While the assistant was in a hurry, the comments on the Internet did not stop at all.
…
“Finally this day has come! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time! Sun Dongming, are you going to die?”
“It seems that the upstairs has a big grudge against Sun Dongming! But it doesn’t matter, Sun Dongming has many enemies, and you are not the only one.”
“No, how can Sun Dongming offend so many people? Isn’t he just a chef?”
“He is a chef, but he is one of the most influential chefs in Yanzhou. He used to be a director of the Chefs Association. Many middle and senior chefs who don’t like his way of doing things have been squeezed by him. Do you think he is hateful?”
"And his banquet for twelve people. I have never heard of when to eat. He also bet on the blind box and spent a lot of money to eat, but in the end he still couldn't eat?"
"Haha, the most ridiculous thing is that if you don't eat, he won't refund the money, and will also give you the privilege of purchasing the next meal first. It's so funny. Fortunately, I don't have any money."
"..."
"Then why didn't anyone talk about him before?"
"Haha, kid, you are still young. You will know after a few more years of class."
This is a topic about Sun Dongming. All the negative information and negative points about Sun Dongming in the past have been brought out.
Some people who came just because of the topic of "Yanzhou on the Tip of the Tongue" contributed their own saliva after reading Sun Dongming's resume.
Compared with Sun Dongming, another topic on the hot search is also quite lively.
This topic is called [Nanny, grandma calls you home for dinner]!
"By the way, who is Nannan? If I knew who Nannan was, I would give her money and let her go home and have a meal from grandma."
"Hey, what you see is Nannan, but what I see is countless cows and horses beating workers. Nannan and grandma can go there, but where do the other cows and horses go when they are sad?"
"Stop talking, I don't admit it! You're not talking about me! Woohoo~"
…
An architectural design company.
"Hey, I also want to go home and eat grandma's cooking."
Zhong Sijia secretly looked at the hot searches on her office computer and couldn't help but sigh.
But her words received no response.
Zhong Sijia turned her head and looked at Liao Qingxiu, who was still busy drawing design drawings. She couldn't help but advise: "Xiuxiu, you are working too hard every day."
After Liao Qingxiu marked a location, he took the time to reply:
"I'm just doing something I like, and it happens to be my job, so it seems to you that I'm working hard, but for me, it's not as painful as you think."
Zhong Sijia rolled her eyes.
"It's a pity that you don't want to be a life coach. I've almost been brainwashed by you."
Liao Qingxiu smiled.
"I'm not brainwashing you. If a job where you can make money just by eating delicious food is placed in front of you, you will be like me."
"Huh? How did you know I wanted to be a mukbang?"
Zhong Sijia was startled, then quietly leaned over and said, "Xiuxiu, let me tell you, I just had an idea before, but now I might really do it."
Liao Qingxiu turned her head in surprise.
"You don't go to work?"
"Of course not." Zhong Sijia waved her hand, "I do it after get off work and on holidays."
"I watched "A Bite of Yanzhou" yesterday, and I realized that my previous idea was wrong. Only chefs certified by the Chefs Association can cook good meals."
Hearing what Zhong Sijia said, Liao Qingxiu thought of something and nodded in agreement.
"You think so, right? That's why I've been looking for the delicacies hidden in the streets since this weekend! Xiu Xiu, will you come with me? Be a...store explorer!"
Liao Qingxiu smiled and shook his head.
"No, I still have to go to class."
Zhong Sijia shook her head regretfully and gave no further advice. She knew how hard Liao Qingxiu worked, and they obviously entered the company together.
They were all newcomers at the time, but Liao Qingxiu is now able to take charge of individual projects, and she still needs to work with others to complete the work.
But Zhong Sijia did not envy Liao Qingxiu at all.
In Liao Qingxiu, Zhong Sijia learned for the first time that people who work hard are worthy of the goodwill of the world.
"Okay, by the way, when you have dinner tonight, remember to watch "Yanzhou on the Bite of the Tongue" for a special meal!"
Liao Qingxiu nodded and continued busy.
9 pm.
Liao Qingxiu, who finally finished the design drawing, let out a breath and smiled on his face.
After taking a look at the time, Liao Qingxiu put away her things and placed an order for takeout.
She lives near the company.
Walking back, the takeaway was just delivered.
While eating in the room, Liao Qingxiu thought of the dinner drama Zhong Sijia talked about today, so she took out her tablet, searched it out, and clicked play.
Later, she ate, listened to the show, and read the messages on her phone.
Listening to programs is Liao Qingxiu's own way of relieving loneliness.
Only in this way will the empty rental house not be so deserted.
Just after taking two bites of rice, Liao Qingxiu frowned.
Customers actually have new demands!
With this new addition, her design drawings have undergone major changes!
Liao Qingxiu argued with the customer angrily, and finally threw the phone away and didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
"call……"
After exhaling the turbid air in his chest, Liao Qingxiu continued to eat the food that had become cold.
"Grandma, what are you looking at?"
"Haha, I didn't see anything. My daughter used to run back from the path over there every meal time."
The familiar voice stopped Liao Qingxiu's eating movements.
Turning his head suddenly and looking at the familiar profile in the video, Liao Qingxiu looked blank.
Grandma, why are you in the video?
Liao Qingxiu's head was a little down.
"Grandma, what is your dream?"
"I don't have any dreams...if I do, my dream is that my daughter can realize her dream."
When grandma said these words about dreams, the tears in Liao Qingxiu's eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
Liao Qingxiu reached out to wipe it, but she couldn't wipe it clean.
Just then, the song sounded.
…
Nannan, you will be confused
Slow down and don't forget
Slowly you will understand what you lost
The road of life is a choice of gain and loss
When you get lost, think about what grandma said back then
…
The show ended a long time ago, and the tears on Liao Qingxiu's face have dried up, but her heart has not calmed down for a long time.
"Have I been pursuing my dreams all these years?"
Liao Qingxiu asked herself.
If the dream is made of grandma's thoughts.
Then, is it worth it?
Liao Qingxiu made a decision in her heart and picked up her mobile phone to send a text to the customer.
"It can be changed, but the delivery time will be extended. If you agree, then continue to cooperate. If you disagree, I will hand over the project to others."
Liao Qingxiu didn't wait for long, and the customer responded.
"I understand, your design concept meets my requirements, the time can be extended, and happy cooperation."
Liao Qingxiu smiled.
After asking for leave from her boss, she started to pack up.
In a moment, she pulled the video to the last song.
…
Looking back
After the rain
There is less indifference
Come on, grandma is still waiting for you in that village
…
Tianyu Yanzhou Branch.
Today, Tan Taigui was very busy, so busy that he received 10 calls in an hour.
But after each call, he had a smile on his face.
Just when another call came in, the door of Tan Taigui's office was knocked open by the assistant.
"General Manager, Consultant Chen is here."
With just one sentence, Tan Taigui raised his finger on the answer button.
Throwing the phone on the table, Tan Taigui smiled and walked over to welcome Chen Shuren and others in.
"Brother Shu, you are here."
Tang Yingcheng listened to the "Brother Shu" in Tan Taigui's mouth and shook his head in his heart.
It seems that no one can withstand Chen Shuren's "sugar-coated bullets".
Basically, every branch that Chen Shuren has visited, after Chen Shuren leaves, the address will change from "Mr. Chen", "Manager Chen", "Consultant Chen" to a unified "Brother Shu"!
Oh, not really, the general manager of the Jingzhou branch not only did not change the address, but also rarely communicated with Chen Shuren.
So, the Jingzhou branch is still half dead.
While Tang Yingcheng laughed, Chen Shuren had already started chatting with Tan Tai Taigui.
"Manager Tan Tai, our work in Yanzhou is almost over, and we are going to leave tomorrow. I came to say hello to you."
"Ah? Leave? You can't leave!"
Tan Tai Taigui was confused, and then hurriedly stopped him.
"Huh? Why?"
Chen Shuren was also surprised. The program content had been completed, and all that was left was to broadcast it one episode at a time.
"It's like this. I received a lot of calls today, most of which invited you to dinner, but I didn't agree. But there was one that I thought you could go to, Brother Shu."
"Hmm? Who?"
Chen Shuren was curious. Judging from what Tan Taigui meant, this call was of great importance.
"Yan Mingzhou! The president of the Yanzhou Chefs Association!"
Seeing that Chen Shuren didn't respond, Tan Taigui continued.
"He is also a top-class chef, and this invitation is not just for dinner, but also for something to witness."
"What is it?"
"Sun Dongming's sealing ceremony, he won't cook anymore in the future."
Tan Taigui smiled, very brightly.
Never before had Tan Taigui felt so good.
Is this the face-slapping mentioned in the cool article?
If so, then... it's so cool.
