Ye Jiayao listened to Zheng Sanduo’s incessant talking and boasted, which were all meaningless, and he said he would not say anything fancy, but they were not practical at all.
When it was Lu Xiaotian’s turn to speak, Ye Jiayao was a little worried. She didn’t know how eloquent this guy was. If only she could take the place of her, she did have a lot of ideas in her mind.
Lu Xiaotian rose slowly, and his eyes were clear with sincerity and confidence, and said firmly: ” If I were elected, I would like to do three things first. First, hold a food festival once a year to give each family a chance to introduce their best dishes and improve their popularity. As for how much money they can make in the end, it depends on their ability.”
Ye Jiayao paused and couldn’t help cheering loudly. Lu Xiaotian, you did well. It was the real welfare for members, holding a food festival and providing a platform for everyone to show themselves were undoubtedly a great opportunity for those businesses whose fame was not very strong, which was what we need to do.
All the present people here, both ours and the others, can’t help feeling a little moved.
” And the second thing, I want to run a chef’s class to train more great chefs. What is the key to make a good dish?It’s the chef, but the chefs are scarce and in great need. If more talents are available for us to choose from, the high cost of inviting the chef will certainly be reduced, and we can also have more choices. ”
Shopkeeper Mei mystified and said, ” It’s easy to talk about it. Chefs’ skills are what they need to make a living. Will they teach others easily?”
There was a lot of discussion in the meeting room. This idea was good but not very feasible. Who will teach others his housekeeping skills and then let others become his competitor?
Lu Xiaotian smiled: “I am not talented. If this class is set up, I am willing to try my best to teach them.”
All the people at the meeting felt shocked.
Ye Jiayao said with a smile, ” Since the shopkeeper Lu doesn’t hide your private ability, I’d like to join in it too. So as for the teaching in the class, just count me in.”
The hall was filled with the air of shock.
Zhong Xiang also said, ” If you don’t feel disappointed at my cooking skills, I will be willing to do so.”
The meeting was silent and everyone was completely dumbfounded. There should be people like this in the world! And they were all the most famous chefs in Jinling’s food field. Their answers “yes” were astonishing enough to shock the whole Jinling city.
Lin Changchun laughed: ” There are two gold-medal chefs and one cook from the imperial kitchen willing to join in and teach. What else is impossible?”
Ye Jiayao saw that many people’s eyes began to gleam and began to focus looking expectantly at Lu Xiaotian.
Lu Xiaotian’s eyes began to smile: ” The third thing is to change the president’s five-year term to three-year term, and the unqualified president will not be a dog in the manger.”
Ye Jiayao almost choked by her own saliva. He should say such indecent words in public.
” Well, shopkeeper Lu, with all these three things you said, I support with both hands.” Duan Qilin shouted with clapping her chest.
” Yes …”
” Yes …”
Those who didn’t make any noise couldn’t resist the excitement of the tumult. They run small shops that had been crushed by several big shops for a long time. They didn’t have a chance to show themselves, and they had to endure the pain of the lost of money. They spent a huge sum of money to hire a high-level chef, but it didn’t work. It was really heart-breaking. Lu Xiaotian’s words really correspond to what they need. They would choose Lu xiaotian for their own benefit anyway.`
The situation immediately reversed, and some people in Zheng Fugui’s side began to waver. Originally they promised Zheng Fugui to elect Zheng Sanduo, that was, they thought Zheng Sanduo could give them some benefits after taking office. Now it seemed that it was not clear whether Zheng Fugui’s benefits were available, but Lu Xiaotian’s benefits were real and immediate. What else was there to hesitate about?
Zheng Sanduo anxiously looked at his father. What can he do?
Zheng Fugui also couldn’t think of a good strategy.
Zheng Sanduo cried with impatience: ” I can do the three things he mentioned.”
Lin Changchun laughed and sneered, ” Childe Zheng, why didn’t you say that just now?Now he had said, if you followed him, is it a belated effort ?”
Zheng Fugui gave his son a hard stare. Was it not enough to humiliate him?
In the end, Lu Xiaotian was elected as the new president by an overwhelming number of votes, and Ye jiayao was elected as the vice president because Ye Jiayao’s selflessly promise to teach them cooking won the favor of all and once again beat Zheng Sanduo .
At this point, one president and two vice-presidents of the catering trade chamber of commerce were confirmed, the president was Lu Xiaotian, the two vice-presidents were Duan Qilin and Ye Jiayao.
Losing two places, Zheng Fugui went away angrily, his face turn bloodless, and even Xingwang and others left despondently.
Everyone congratulated Lu Xiaotian and Ye Jiayao one after another.
The two people greeted each other with smiles.
After the event, Ye Jiayao and Lu Xiaotian stepped out of the chamber of commerce together.
Ye Jiayao joked: ” I said to be your master, but you’re a master who’s full of ideas. Maybe I’m gonna lose my job.”
Lu Xiaotian said slightly, ” The first thing that I thought of is temporary, and the second thing result from what you touched me.”
Ye Jiayao dazed and said, ” I touched you?I never seem to mention it!”
Lu Xiaotian looked into the distance and sighed, ” To be exact, I see you spare no effort to cultivate your own cook. No chef has ever been so selfless as you. Even I have never had such an idea before, when it comes to teaching cooking skills and accepting students, who is not careful and prudent, hiding anything, teaching little by little, and missing little by little, they will not teach their specialty skills until at the end. After seeing your practice, I realized that our food industry will prosper only if more talents emerge.”
Ye Jiayao blushed: ” But I don’t think as ahead as you , nor do I have a broad mind. I have to say that you do a really good job, and I admire you very much.”
Lu Xiaotian looked back at her with a smile: ” As for the third thing, it was completely taught by you.”
Ye Jiayao was so embarrassed that she was shy to say so.
Lu Xiaotian laughed: ” You said that you will be my master in the future. Anyway, it’s you who force a donkey to dance, so you can’t do nothing.”
The two said goodbye to each other. On their way back, Ye Jiayao asked Zhong Xiang, ” Did you say that til you saw I agreed?”
Zhong Xiang solemnly said, ” No, because I have experienced it before, I thought I would be a first-class chef forever in my life and never get promoted. At that time, I dreamed of having a chef who could teach me some skills, who could pull me up and give me a chance, and I always thought that such a idea was a dream and even more luxurious than a dream. Fortunately, I met you, but there are still many people like me in this world who have dreams but are always shattered by ruthless reality. Therefore, I hope to be like you to help realize their dreams.”
Ye Jiayao was shocked by too many things today, first by Lu Xiaotian and then by Zhong Xiang. She didn’t expect Zhong Xiang to have such a profound and great feeling for such a reason.
Think about herself, the past lofty ambition was to promote the food culture and to remain famous in future generations, but now she lived in a corner, often worrying about some trivial things, and the past original intention was almost forgotten.
No, she had to do something.
” Zhong Xiang, this is the second time that I have said I admire you today, but I still want to say that I admire you that you can think like this and it is my pleasure to got acquainted with someone like you,” Ye Jiayao said sincerely.
Zhong Xiang became shy to see her in such a solemn manner, scratched his head and stammered, ” The second madam, this … this is just a little thought of my own.”
” Small ideas and big ambitions are more admirable,” Ye Jiayao said with a smile.
She felt harvesting a lot. She suddenly felt herself was open and clear.
Xia Chunyu was off duty and heard Yaoyao humming there as soon as he came home: ” It’s all foam and gorgeous like fireworks. Even if it burst in an instant, I will let the fireworks bloom the most beautiful flowers …”
Well, this tune sounded familiar. It seemed that she often hummed when she was in Hei Fenggang, but it seemed that every word was different. Anyway, she hummed, indicating that she was in a good mood. And she was in a good mood and Xia Chunyu’s mood also brightened.
These days, she was always weak and anorexia, which made him quite worried.
” What’s the matter? You are happy today, what’s the good news?” Xia Chunyu sat down in front of her and saw her lying on the couch, wondering what she was writing.
Ye Jiayao looked up and smiled brightly: ” Your wife–I accidentally became the vice president today.”
Xia Chunyu was amused by her: ” I don’t know you still have an interest to become officials …”
” Vice President, not much of an officer, is even not much of a little officer, however, today’s chamber of commerce argued fiercely, which made me really enjoyable!” Ye Jiayao felt very brightened when she thought of the despondent appearance of the Zheng’ father and the son.
Xia Chunyu looked at her with a smile: ” Did you only listen to it?No join in it?”
Ye Jiayao curled her pie mouth and filled her big eyes with a naughty: ” Do you think I am the kind of person who can hold back getting involved when there is an excitement?”
Xia Chunyu looked at her bright smile and beautiful eyes. He really wanted to embrace her and kiss her severely. How long had he not seen her smile so happily?
” If you can stand it, you’re not Yaoyao,” Xia Chunyu sneered.
” Yes, we won the election of president today. Lu Xiaotian defeated Zheng Sanduo. Ha ha, Zheng Fugui also wanted his son to be the president. As a result, he turned himself into a shambles.” Ye Jiayao talked cheerfully about what happened in today’s chamber of commerce.
Xia Chunyu met Lu Xiaotian and had a good impression of him. He was also very happy to know that Lu Xiaotian was elected.
” Are you writing recipes?Have you figured out a new dish again?” Xia Chunyu took her little notebook and looked at it.
Ye Jiayao bit her pen and said, ” It’s not a new dish. I’m going to classify the dishes I can cook and write a course for it.”
