Only Yu Chen is still popular. In their opinion, he's the only chef who could possibly compete with them. Please search on Baidu to access this site.
However, they looked at each other carefully and seemed a little unfamiliar. They looked at each other and asked, "Does anyone know him?"
The chefs all looked at each other, saying they had never seen him before. Finally, only the young chef who had just come in and had previously looked down on Yu Wuwei and the others said disdainfully, "He just got in through the backdoor!"
A group of chefs hurriedly asked what was going on. The young chef told them everything he saw when he entered the door just now, and also told them his own speculations.
The group of chefs agreed with what they heard, and their eyes towards Yu Wuwei and the others changed immediately. Not even one of them came to say hello, obviously they were quite disdainful of Yu Wuwei's backdoor approach.
Yu Wuwei touched his nose, looked at his father and said, "It seems like we are isolated!"
"A bunch of guys who look down on others!" Yu Chenhuo's face was not very good. No matter who it was, he would not be in a good mood if he was looked down upon by a group of people like this.
As for Liu Huizhen, her gloomy face never brightened up.
The hotel waiters did not look down on them because of their poor attire. They still wore standard smiles, verified their entry certificates, and led them into the kitchen to let them choose ingredients.
However, this is only limited to Yu Chenhuo and his son. As for Liu Huizhen, she is not a contestant and will enter the VIP room first as a family member of a contestant to wait.
These waiters are not like the chefs who know nothing. According to internal sources, this competition was initiated by the head office, and the review is very strict to completely eliminate the existence of secret operations and backdoors.
All those who accept the invitation to participate are hotel chefs who have been recognized by Century Star as having outstanding qualities. Each of them is a favorite to win and is definitely not someone they can neglect.
Yu Wuwei and the others were very quick in selecting the ingredients. They could tell where each one was and which one was good and which one was bad with just a glance using their spiritual sense.
He had a general idea of the rules and procedures for this competition, and he had already decided what dishes to make, so he just followed the recipe.
He just reached out and picked the good ones. In this regard, he would not give in to those arrogant guys.
After picking the dishes, they did not meet or get to know any colleagues. It was obvious that because of the fat young chef, none of these so-called colleagues wanted to get close to them, so they didn't have to bother to please others.
Anyway, they were not prohibited from moving around, so they went straight to the VIP room where Liu Huizhen was to chat.
The competition officially started at 3:30 in the afternoon, and they gathered in the main banquet hall on the third floor at 3 o'clock as contestants.
Here, Yu Wuwei saw Liu Fengyang, but as the host of this competition, Liu Fengyang was naturally very busy. When he saw Yu Wuwei, he just smiled and nodded, and didn't say much.
Yu Wuwei also smiled back and found a seat to sit down.
The layout of the banquet hall this time is different from that of ordinary banquets. Since there are many participating chefs, the model adopted is that the chefs surround the guests.
Chefs like Yu Wuwei formed a large semicircle at the edge of the banquet hall. Each chef was in a specific area. In front of this area, Century Star provided each of them with a complete set of kitchen utensils, and in the back were ingredients and seasonings of their own choice.
The invited guests sat in the middle of the hall, surrounded by the participating chefs. They could eat whichever dish they wanted to taste, or ask the waiters to bring their favorite dishes to their table.
Yu Wuwei and Yu Chenhuo can be said to be the least popular pair among the participating chefs. No one likes to sit with them, and feels inferior when sitting next to them.
Yu Wuwei and the others didn't want to be bored, so they just chose a seat at the edge and sat down. As for who would sit next to them, that depended on who was the most "unlucky"!
Before the competition started, the participating chefs were still relatively relaxed, chatting and laughing with their colleagues around them, and exchanging pleasantries.
No one talked to Yu Wuwei, so he was happy to be free.
As the competition time got closer, more and more guests arrived. Some of them were obviously very familiar with the chefs and greeted each other across the kitchen counter.
Those chefs are worthy of being famous chefs with at least three stars. They have a wide range of social contacts. There are always some familiar guests in front of each kitchen table to say hello and chat.
In comparison, Yu Wuwei's side was rather deserted, with only one of their relatives and friends, Ms. Liu Huizhen, here chatting with them.
Liu Fengyang frowned when he saw this situation. The atmosphere in the catering industry is indeed different from before. He personally invited Yu Wuwei, but he was isolated because of his identity.
He had such good eyesight that he knew what was going on with just a quick glance.
After thinking about it, I decided to take a break from my busy schedule and go to Yu Wuwei to have a brief chat, and also get to know Yu Chenhuo and Liu Huizhen.
As the general owner of Century Star Catering Group, Liu Fengyang's actions naturally attracted the attention of everyone present.
Seeing this scene, most people were whispering to each other, wondering who the quieter chef in the corner was. Why was even Mr. Liu so polite to them?
The other participating chefs were also slightly surprised. What was going on with this chef from a small restaurant that didn't even have a star rating and who knew where he came from? Why was even Chairman Liu, the chairman of the Century Star headquarters, speaking to them?
The portly chef who had previously spoken disparagingly of Yu Wuwei and his companions in the parking lot frowned upon seeing this, and then his mocking expression intensified as he sarcastically said, "You're saying they got in through the backdoor? This backdoor must have come from quite a prominent source!"
The chefs nearby also frowned when they heard this. They had already formed a preconceived notion, and after being influenced by this fat chef, they looked at Yu Wuwei and the others with even more displeasure.
As soon as the fat chef started talking, the surrounding chefs spread the word, sparking another wave of whispers. Some even began to criticize the fairness of the competition.
As the largest sponsor of Century Star, since you're hosting this competition, it should be fair and just. Is it really okay for you to openly help someone you know get in through the backdoor? If that's the case, why not just give the championship to that little restaurant chef who came out of nowhere? Why drag them in as a foil?
However, these chefs only grumbled in secret and did not dare to publicly accuse him. After all, they were still in the catering industry, and Liu Fengyang was definitely a giant in the national catering industry. He had even shown a trend of becoming the leader recently. It would not be good for them to offend such an existence!
