Chapter 467: Crisis and Opportunity

"Why don't you ask me what my plan is?" The fat man waited for a long time and found that Zhao Xiaojing didn't say anything after saying the word "handsome". Instead, he fell into deep thought.

"I was wondering what Gu Yanghui did in the last game."

"Do you remember it then?"

"No."

"Same, I don't have any impression at all." The fat man chuckled.

"So, do I need to ask what your plan is? Even if you leave him a chance to recruit rebels, he probably won't be able to recruit many people, only one or two at most. That leaves us with two or three at most. While the task is a bit arduous, it presents both a crisis and an opportunity."

"We'll shorten the time and let Nian Fusheng handle the PR to buy some time." The fat man narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly. "If we perform well, even if our team doesn't take first place, several of us will still be able to score in the top few."

"But think about it another way. This is also their opportunity. Even if they choose a table with a score of 60, with two people working hard, each person can get at most 30 points. It's definitely more profitable than us having ten people set up at three tables, with a full score of only 250 and an average score of only 25. Although our average score will be higher, if they can really do well, at least their score will be higher than the other teams. If they can add another person, and the three of them are bold enough to set up two tables, then it goes without saying.

But then again, it all depends on who he can pull in." Zhao Xiaojing smiled faintly.

"If he recruits someone with good cooking skills, others will be the head chef while he can only be the sous chef. Others will definitely not share the points equally with him, so the points he gets will not be high, and he will not achieve his goal."

"If they get a poor cook, they might not ask others to help them in order to save points, but they will definitely ask you, the captain, to cook the main dish. This is your chance to earn extra points."

"No, let's do a joint marketing campaign. If you ask me to cook, I have to pay you a bit for the braising liquid. You have to make the braising liquid anyway, so it won't be a big deal."

"Forget it. Later he'll scold us for operating behind the scenes and discussing something behind our backs."

The two of them laughed as they talked.

When Nian Fusheng hurried in, he saw two people talking and laughing leisurely, and the photographer standing in the corner, taking pictures professionally.

"You two are so careless. You've even used the Thirty-Six Stratagems to attack Wei and save Zhao!"

"What do you mean? How many people did you incite to defect?" Zhao Xiaojing looked up and asked with a smile.

"I think one of them is tempted and is encouraging the others with Gu Yanghui! He said that if they can recruit two more people, they can try hard to choose two sets of seats, but the people on your side definitely can't handle three sets. Then we can only negotiate with them and give them one set!

"They also said that if they choose two sets, they can choose either one, even the remaining two that were not chosen just now. They will get the same share anyway. But if you can't give up one of them, they will definitely take all three sets, and then you will definitely negotiate with them!" Nian Fusheng said anxiously.

"Oh? Then what conditions do they want me to give up?" The fat man leaned forward and looked at Nian Fusheng with an attentive look.

"They want to compress your requirements to 8 or 9 points to make three main dishes, and they should be as difficult as Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken. This will not only reduce your score, but also make their banquet as beautiful as possible, and they don't have to spend their own time to prepare the finale!" Nian Fusheng knocked on the table angrily.

The fat man and Zhao Xiaojing looked at each other, as expected, with a hint of surprise.

This man is an ambitious person.

What a big appetite.

"Zhao Duo, now is not the time to show off. Come with me. No one has sided with him yet, so you should talk to them properly! Even if they really want to form a clique, there's no point in just waiting for the outcome and letting him wreak havoc in there!"

The fat man glanced at Nian Fusheng and was about to speak when there was noise outside the door again.

It turned out that Mo Feixiang and Lian Yulan also came out of the hall one after another. Seeing the three people in the box, they ran straight in.

"There's no point in persuading him. Gu Yanghui is determined. Captain, why don't you go back and talk to him?" Lian Yulan stood anxiously in front of the table.

"How could he possibly listen to your advice after he's said so much? You're a Bodhisattva, too. They've already killed the chicken and are ready to swear an oath of blood. How can you possibly persuade them to lay down their butcher knives and become a Buddha?" Mo Feixiang sneered. He looked up and saw that Nian Fusheng also looked annoyed, while Fatty and Zhao Xiaojing looked calm and composed. He glared at them, "We're your scouts, and this is how you react?"

"Yeah, Zhao Duo, why don't you go over and talk to him? Even if you can't bring yourself to persuade him to return to the team, you have to win over the remaining people! Besides, it's already late, and nothing has been discussed yet, so why are they already in an internal conflict?" Nian Fusheng quickly stood up.

"Mr. Nian, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious yet." The fat man stood up, pressed Nian Fusheng's shoulders and pushed him back to his seat.

"Don't be in a hurry, sit down, sit down first, sit down!

"Why, do you want me to press it?" The fat man pointed at the chair in front of him and glared.

Mo Feixiang and Lian Yulan sat down reluctantly.

"Don't be impatient, just listen to it. Let me ask you, he's talking so enthusiastically in there, and the cake is so perfect, why aren't you moved?"

"Are you moved? Stop kidding! I chose this team because of you, not because of him!" Nian Fusheng said first.

"If he makes a promise, I'll be shaken. I might as well find someone to form a team and cook a table myself. Why should I listen to him? Although I'm not impressed with his cooking skills, I don't think my cooking skills are worse than his!" Mo Feixiang complained.

"I don't believe he can form a team, and I don't believe he can be a good captain if he does. And if we have to choose a captain, both sides will have to work, so I definitely trust you more." Lian Yulan said as she realized, "...So you're not panicking? Is that your reason?"

"How is this not a reason? Gu Yanghui is an opportunist. Anyone who is not an opportunist would not dare to be on the same team with him. But there are not so many opportunists. Moreover, only those whose cooking skills are similar to his and have no special features would have the need to speculate. Anyone with better cooking skills and the intention would be better off opening a table of their own. Even if they want to take advantage of his opportunity to break away from the group and get a high score, then they must be commanding Gu Yanghui. How can they be commanded by Gu Yanghui? Gu Yanghui will definitely not do that, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of speculation?

So he can only get two people, at most. But minus three, we still have seven people." The fat man gestured with the number seven.

The three of them looked at each other, looking as if they didn't quite understand.

"Does anyone remember what Gu Yanghui did in the last game?" Zhao Xiaojing took over, looking at the three of them with a smile.

The three of them shook their heads like rattles.

"So that's his reason for speculation, but it's not everyone's."
