Chapter 103 Miracle Worker

Michelin Travel Publishing headquarters, France.

Elvy Dekun sat behind his desk, his eyes closed, smoking a cigarette, his brows furrowed.

As the editor-in-chief of the Michelin Travel Guide, Hervé Dekun has always been very proud of his magazine, because all the chefs and restaurants around the world feel honored to be included in this travel guide.

There was even a family that spent three generations working hard just to get on the list.

Since Hervé Dekun took over as editor-in-chief, he has always felt the unique influence of this magazine in the catering and tourism industries, and he is proud to be able to write such a magazine.

But just now, he received a message that a restaurant refused to accept their rating and returned the certificate and knife and fork logo issued by the Michelin Travel Publishing Company.

This surprised Elvi Dekun and everyone in the editorial department, and they felt a little overwhelmed.

They had never encountered such a thing before, that there were restaurants and chefs who wanted to reject Michelin's award.

Don’t those Chinese know what an honor it is to have three Michelin stars?

Knock knock knock!

There was a knock on the office door.

A white-haired old man came in.

If Yang Huan were there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this white-haired old man was the guy named Richard Parker whom he met at Harrods Chinese restaurant in London.

Only now, he was at the headquarters of Michelin travel publication.

"Hi, Elvy!" Richard Parker walked over to Elvy Dekun with a smile and sat down.

"What's the matter with you calling me here so urgently?"

Elvy Dekun looked at the mysterious Richard Parker in front of him, who was called the most experienced food detective by many people. He had a bit of respect because the latter had much more experience in this field than him.

"I'm in some trouble." Elvi Dekun said with a frown.

"Is there any trouble you can't solve?" Richard Parker shook his head. He didn't believe it.

“About that Chinese restaurant in Southampton.”

Richard Parker became serious after hearing this, because that was a Chinese restaurant he had inspected and gave high marks to.

It can even be said that he made a great contribution to this Chinese restaurant becoming the first Michelin three-star Chinese restaurant.

"Is there a problem?" He asked worriedly.

After all, if something goes wrong with this Chinese restaurant, it would affect the century-old reputation of the Michelin Travel Guide.

"There is nothing wrong with their food and business, but now they are causing big problems for us." Erwin Dekun said with a wry smile. He didn't know how to explain this.

There are still people who refuse Michelin?

If I tell it to others, who will believe it?

"I don't understand what you mean, be direct, Elvi." Richard Parker was confused.

Although Hervé Dekun felt that this was a bit of a blasphemy to the Michelin Travel Guide, he couldn't think of a better explanation.

“We were rejected by them!”

"By whom?" Richard Parker was stunned, unable to believe it.

“That Chinese restaurant called Wangjiangge, they refused to accept our rating and logo.”

Richard Parker's first reaction was stunned, then he burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect you to be so humorous, Elvi, but can you talk about something else next time?"

After laughing for a few seconds, he saw Elvy Dekun staring at him seriously. He stopped laughing and shook his head vigorously, "This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I just received their notice!" said Elvi Dekun.

Richard Parker stood up excitedly. "Don't they know what an honor it is for them to receive this rating? No Chinese restaurant has ever received three stars."

Elvi Dekun smiled bitterly, "Maybe they really don't understand."

"Maybe they are worried about the advertising fees we ask for, or..." Richard Parker wanted to find a lot of reasons, but in the end, he had to admit that these reasons were all lame.

In the catering industry, is there anyone who doesn’t know Michelin restaurants?

"What's the reason?" Richard Parker asked weakly.

"They don't want to change the business status of Chinese restaurants, especially the ingredients, just to accommodate our rules."

In fact, many Michelin-starred restaurants are well aware that although there is no charge for the Michelin restaurant selection, Michelin will actually still recommend some ingredients or beverages.

This is also a way of survival for the Michelin Travel Guide.

However, almost all restaurants will accept such an arrangement in order to get stars and be included in the list.

After all, being recognized by the Michelin Travel Guide is a great honor for any restaurant and any chef.

So far, only this Chinese restaurant called Wangjiangge has rejected their rating.

"What should we do now?" Richard Parker sighed. He didn't understand what was going on.

Elvi Dekun shook his head. "We can only take it back. There is no other way. Besides, the magazine has already been published. We need to give the public and readers a reasonable and acceptable explanation."

Richard Parker nodded. Although from now on, this Chinese restaurant called Wangjiangge will never be included in the Michelin star selection again, but at least it must do the surface work. Michelin must show a gentlemanly demeanor and not lose points.

"I plan to go to Southampton in person to resolve this matter!" Elvi De Kun said helplessly.

Going there in person also shows how much Michelin takes this matter seriously.

"I'll go with you!" Richard Parker sighed.

He also didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the Chinese restaurant he was inspecting.

He also felt a little guilty about this.

No matter how well Michelin does, it is inevitable to lose points.

"Okay, we'll set off tomorrow."

…………

"One, two, three, four!"

"One, two, three, four!"

On the upper floor of the WeChat company in Southampton, Du Ziteng was sweating profusely, practicing some of the most basic dance steps over and over again under the accompaniment and guidance of dance teacher Li Zhushan.

Yang Huan stood at the door and watched, but in his heart he couldn't help but admire Du Ziteng's diligence and perseverance.

No one's success is accidental. At least behind Du Ziteng's current popularity is his unparalleled hard work and effort. Even though he is now considered to be a very famous bird, he still doesn't slack off.

"Master Huan."

Lin Yoona had just finished dancing practice. When she came over to drink some water, she saw Yang Huan outside the door and walked out.

When Yang Huan saw her, his eyes widened.

Perhaps to make it easier to dance, she wore a purple belly-baring sportswear today, revealing her soft waist that was flat without even a bit of fat.

The tight fit of her sports top revealed her not-so-big but well-proportioned breasts that matched her figure, while the tight sports hot pants revealed her round buttocks to Yang Huan.

This sportswear really brings out her incredibly beautiful and exquisite curves to the fullest.

Perhaps this curve is not too shocking, but it is very soft.

"Master Huan."

Lin Yoona came to the door and thought Yang Huan didn't hear her, so she shouted again.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Huan cursed in his heart.

Damn it, it’s not like he hasn’t seen beautiful women before, is it really necessary to be like this?

But you have to say, this girl had just finished dancing, her head and body were covered in sweat, her long black hair stuck to her neck, and she was panting, showing a different kind of healthy charm.

Even though she looks thin, she is actually quite well-endowed.

"Are you here to watch Psy practice?" asked Yoona.

"Well, let's see if he's been slacking off." Yang Huan replied with a smile.

Lin Yuner smiled sweetly, "No, he is very hardworking and practices harder than anyone else. He has made great progress."

Yang Huan could see that, as the saying goes, diligence can make up for lack of talent, and he also felt that Du Ziteng was definitely a representative.

"Yoona, are you used to living in England?"

Lin Yuner pursed her lips coquettishly and laughed, "I'm used to it. There's nothing I'm not used to."

"Well, that's good." Yang Huan was relieved. "You may be very busy next. I heard that you have accepted a lot of advertisements."

Lin Yoona nodded, these matters are basically handled by their agents now.

And their agent is Li Zhushan.

This choreographer has now suddenly become the agent of Du Ziteng and Lin Yoona.

"Don't work too hard. It's not worth it if you tire yourself out."

Lin Yuna agreed with a smile.

Just at this time, Li Zhushan and Du Ziteng finished their practice and wanted to take a break.

Both of them saw Yang Huan coming and immediately came out to greet him.

"Old bird!" Yang Huan laughed as soon as he saw Du Ziteng.

Even though this fat guy has become a star, his image is still so funny.

"Hey!" Du Ziteng immediately struck a signature pose.

This immediately made Lim Yoona and Lee Joo Sun burst out laughing.

"Master Huan, next time don't talk bad about me like this, or I'll get proud."

Yang Huan laughed and punched him. "Proud? If you dare to lift your tail, I will chop it off and make soup."

"We have just started. I told you to increase publicity and promotion. I told you that you must be made into the most popular superstar in the world, Super Psy. To hell with that Psy in Real Madrid!"

After Yang Huan said this, everyone present had an incredible feeling.

The look in Lin Yoona's eyes when she looked at Yang Huan was also filled with indescribable admiration and gratitude.

When the MV was being filmed, who could have imagined that such a spoof MV would cause such an amazing response around the world in such a short time?

Now almost the whole world is singing this song "Gangnam Style". With the spread of the Internet, Psy's image has spread to every corner of the world, and almost everyone can hum a few lines of the lyrics.

Li Zhushan still remembers that when Yang Huan said that he wanted to make Du Ziteng, a fat guy with no image, no ability, and who couldn't sing or dance, into a superstar, he thought it was impossible.

But in just two months, Du Ziteng has become extremely popular and Psy's image has become well-known.

In Li Zhushan's view, all of this can only be described as a miracle.

And Yang Huan is the creator of this miracle.

"I've thought about it, and I'm going to shoot a second version of the MV next. And this time I'm going to do something different, using a male and female chorus, with Psy and Yoona singing together. What do you think?"

Yang Huan's proposal surprised Lin Yoona a little, because Du Ziteng is now at the peak of his career, and Yang Huan's filming of this MV is clearly to use Du Ziteng to promote her.

"Master Huan..." Lin Yuna was so grateful that she couldn't express it in words.

Yang Huan waved his hands, as if he was doing something insignificant. He didn't think it was a big deal at all. After all, Du Ziteng's image of Uncle Bird has become popular now, and it would be unreasonable not to make good use of this resource.

"Don't say those disgusting words. I just want you to make more money quickly. After you pay off the debt, you will be truly free."

Yang Huan's explanation seemed natural, but Lin Yoona knew what he really meant.

But he didn't say anything more.

She knew that Master Huan was not someone who liked to hear people say thank you.

"Old Bird, how about we have a big scene for the second version of the MV?" Yang Huan suggested with a smile.

"A big scene?" Du Ziteng also liked lively occasions and was attracted when he heard it.

Chinese people like things to be lively.

"Okay, what's the big scene, Master Huan, you say, I'll listen to you!"

He now admires Yang Huan to the core.

Even if Yang Huan asked him to take off all his clothes and go out for a bird walk, he would do it without hesitation.

"A grand chorus of 30,000 people, that's exciting!" Yang Huan said with a chuckle.
