Chapter 408 Officially Begins



Zhang Lijin sneered in his heart.

You really think of yourself as a thing. You just rely on your man, otherwise who would care about you?

Zhang Lijin is a very flexible person. He continued to smile and said, "As for the second point, Madam Lu is overthinking it. I don't have any thoughts in that regard at all."

"You better be."

Gu Qingcheng withdrew his gaze, unwilling to continue arguing with him, and went straight to the point.

"Manager Zhang, may I ask what is the basis for your grouping?"

Zhang Lijin was stunned and frowned. He didn't know what Gu Qingcheng meant by asking this question.

He told the truth: "Of course it is in alphabetical order of the names. Whoever's alphabetical order is earlier will be in front."

Looking at it this way, it seems relatively fair on the surface.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this is not the case at all.

This name is innate, and your surname is not decided by yourself.

This is still unfair!

Gu Qingcheng raised this objection: "This is unfair."

Every word she said was powerful, and she also expressed her reasons.

When the people in the second group heard this, they realized that this was the truth!

Why should I be ranked at the back just because of my name?

"Yes! I didn't think of it at first, but this is what Mrs. Lu meant."

"That's right. My last name is Zhang. Who did I offend?"

"Liu Hua is in the second group, but Li Jin is in the first group. Both of their names start with L! This is obviously unfair!"

Everyone started talking at once, and Zhang Lijin's eyelids twitched, seeing that things were heading in a bad direction.

He looked towards Gu Qingcheng with even more disgust.

"Silence, silence! Anyone who says another word will not be allowed to participate in the competition! Anyone who violates the rules will be disqualified!"

When these words were spoken, everyone shuddered, and those who were arranged in the second group had to shut their mouths.

Gu Qingcheng snorted and laughed. She didn't plan to be hired, so this threat didn't count for her.

"Manager Zhang, it's no use trying to silence everyone. Everyone must be convinced."

"What do you think we should do about this? Shouldn't we give everyone a reasonable solution?"

Zhang Lijin's gaze continued to sink.

Gu Qingcheng continued to talk to himself: "But judging from the situation, I'm afraid Manager Zhang can't think of any good ideas."

Zhang Lijin raised his eyebrows: "Mrs. Lu has a solution?"

Gu Qingcheng nodded slightly: "Either draw lots on the spot, or divide all the ingredients equally on the spot to ensure that every contestant can get an equal amount of ingredients, no more, no less."

Unsurprisingly, both solutions proposed by Gu Qingcheng were recognized by the people present.

Zhang Lijin retracted his eyes and had to endure it, not daring to vent his anger.

“In that case, then do as Mrs. Lu asks and divide all the ingredients into two portions!”

Soon someone started to work, and the things were divided into two parts and placed on both sides.

Zhang Lijin clenched his fist and said, "Mrs. Lu, is it ok now?"

Gu Qingcheng then responded coldly: "Let's get started."

She walked to her original position and the game began.

The contestants in this competition actually know each other, and they all know who has the better ability and who has the chance to win the spot.

Those who have a chance of winning will be more motivated and will focus their attention on their competitors.

Gu Qingcheng stared at the people who were cooking and raised his eyebrows.

If you take each of these people's levels individually, they are all quite good.

The overall proficiency is quite high, the dishes he cooks are all acceptable, and he will even flip the pan for you occasionally.

For Gu Qingcheng, it was an acceptable level, but some of the people watching around were all inexperienced and exclaimed in amazement one after another.

"Oh my god, today's trip was worth it. This group of contestants is really strong!"

"Yes, it seems that the taste of the food can finally be improved."

“I don’t know who will take first place…”

About ten minutes later, several people finished preparing the dishes and brought them up on plates.

Zhang Lijin sat with ten dishes in front of him.

It can be said that none of the three aspects of color, aroma and taste is bad.

Zhang Lijin glanced at Gu Qingcheng and said, "I heard that Madam Lu is a good cook and has her own unique insights into cooking techniques. Why don't we taste the food together and select the best one to avoid missing out on good talent."

Gu Qingcheng nodded: "Thank you for the invitation, Director Zhang."

It doesn’t matter. You can do what you want, but I won’t lose a single piece of meat.

Gu Qingcheng rolled his eyes, turned around and walked over, then sat down.

Zhang Lijin was suppressing his anger in his heart. This woman was really tactless. He had only mentioned it casually just now, and she had the nerve to sit down.

But at this point, Zhang Lijin didn't say much. They each tasted a few bites of each dish.

The ten dishes in front of me are basically home-cooked meals, which is also the requirement of this competition. Because they are cooked for the soldiers in the army, they must suit the tastes of the general public.

Shredded potatoes, seafood stew, vegetables and tofu, etc.

Gu Qingcheng tasted them one by one. Except for a few that were not salty enough, he gave corresponding scores to the others.

10 points is the full score, and Gu Qingcheng's score is between 6 and 8 points.

Although she said that she wanted both Liu Hua and Qiao Yueyue to find jobs, she would not deliberately lower others' scores and was completely realistic.

The score is similar to that scored by Zhang Lijin, which is enough to show that the opponent did not let up in this aspect.

Gu Qingcheng thought, there is still some morality in this.

Both of them scored, and then it was the second group of players' turn.

Zhang Lijin called over a boy who was about 17 or 18 years old and told him, "Move all these vegetables downstairs."

The boy immediately did as he was told: “Okay boss!”

Having said that, he did as he was told.

Gu Qingcheng paused and said, "Manager Zhang, I have a suggestion. Since you have said that this competition should cater to the tastes of the general public, shouldn't we let the big guys around us have a taste as well? This way, the contestants selected will be more in line with the requirements."

Everyone was stunned, and then they were ecstatic!

I didn’t expect they could eat it!

He said quickly, "Yes, I think what Mrs. Lu said is true. If you give me this opportunity, I will definitely perform well!"

"I support it, too. After all, what everyone thinks is good is truly good."

Things have come to this point. Gu Qingcheng twitched the corners of his lips and looked at Zhang Lijin again.

"Manager Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Lijin is now dissatisfied with everything about Gu Qingcheng. Originally, he could have decided this matter alone, but he had to involve so many people.

This is an invisible division of his power!

But no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't get angry, because what Gu Qingcheng said made sense!

He could only pull out a smile from the corner of his lips: "Mrs. Lu is right, I will do as you say."
