Food circle plug-in emperor

That afternoon, everyone reunited at the venue, and this time the association's president personally announced the list of new members who had successfully joined the association.

Fu Yu sat quietly, waiting to go on stage to receive the employment certificate.

At noon, He Jie had received a private notification that Fu Yu was successfully selected into the International Gourmet Association. A total of three people from China were selected. The other two, one was a member of the special research group, and the other was a veteran in the domestic food circle.

Fu Yu had a plan in mind, and when he went on stage, he behaved very calmly.

As the youngest, most handsome and best-looking person among the selected candidates, when Fu Yu came on stage, the atmosphere in the venue became noticeably more lively.

Many media were extremely excited that Fu Yu was actually successfully selected for the Food Association. The next step would be to run for the association's committee member.

After announcing the name list of new members, the president of the International Gourmet Association gave a speech and announced the successful conclusion of this recruitment activity.

This is a very grand event for the international food community.

The addition of new members means that the International Gourmet Association will usher in a new period of development.

The inclusion of new members will also bring more investment funds and development projects to the International Gourmet Association, and they will devote more energy to the field of international cuisine.

Not everyone is obsessed with the competition for power. Many people are more interested in the exchange and mutual learning of cooking.

This will also bring more innovative cooking ideas and integration of cooking experience.

  The President of the International Gourmet Association has finished his speech and formally welcomes the new members on behalf of all members!

Everyone present applauded and cheered enthusiastically.

After all new members have received their own membership certificates, the next step is to visit the office building of the Food Association and introduce themselves to other members of the association.

In the evening, everyone gathered together and attended a very grand and magnificent dinner.

The dinner lasted until late at night.

Fu Yu slept well that night because he went back to his hotel room and rested, so he didn't know that a hot search suddenly appeared on the list late at night.

The content was to congratulate him on his successful selection into the International Gourmet Association, and it also included a statement he made during an interview with international media, in which he solemnly announced that after his successful admission, he would participate in the election campaign for the association's committee members.

At the same time, the video also edited some related content of Fu Yu's previous public challenge to Justin.

Originally, it was just a selection into the International Gourmet Association, which would not have caused much of a stir. However, when it rose to the stage where representatives of the two countries' food circles competed on the same stage, the popularity suddenly soared.

This was still late at night. When Fu Yu got up the next morning, this hot search news had risen directly to the fifth place. Basically, as long as you open the hot search, you will see Fu Yu's name at first glance.

The next morning, as soon as Fu Yu arrived at the buffet restaurant, He Jie pulled him to check the trending searches on his phone.

He Jie said happily: "That's right. Previously, the association was planning to buy two hot searches to promote this international event online to increase the attention of the domestic food industry. Now, with your help, we didn't spend a penny and the effect is even better."

Only then did Fu Yu realize that he had once again become a hot topic.

While eating breakfast, he looked at the related comments under the hot search. Fortunately, most of them praised him for winning glory for the country. There were also many who encouraged him and wished him to defeat Justin and be successfully promoted to committee member.

What was originally just a competition between him and Justin's group has now been elevated to a showdown between the two countries' food circles.

A warm feeling surged through Fu Yu's heart. The sense of mission coming from national pride suddenly made him want to roll up his hands and do something big.

He Jie smiled and picked up the juice cup, clinking it with Fu Yu's porridge bowl: "Come on!"

Fu Yu smiled and nodded seriously: "I will!"

  The atmosphere at today's meeting was more lively than yesterday.

Everyone present was very excited, waiting for the most crucial part of the event, which was also the most concerned part for everyone present: the nomination of association members.

There are a total of 150 names on the approved nomination list, which seems like a lot at first glance, but when you spread it out to each country, the number of places is actually very small, and some countries haven’t even been nominated at all.

And the nomination is just the beginning of the campaign.

The next most critical step is the nomination process, where well-known figures in the international food circle will nominate members, followed by voting.

The conference room was very large, and sitting in the first two rows were the judges and designated judges of this campaign, including leaders of the Food Association, organizing members of the International Cultural Department, the principal of the International Gourmet Cooking School, and outstanding leaders of famous food magazines.

It was precisely because of this that He Jie and others fell into collective silence after entering the venue.

The heavyweights present were all big names who have been active in the international food circle for many years. As a result, the difficulty of Fu Yu's election as a member of the association has been increased a lot.

After all, he is not well-known in the international food circle, and has not even achieved outstanding results that would amaze and win praise.

Fu Yu’s qualifications are too shallow. Although he has performed well in a limited time, he is still too young and too weak compared to those veterans in the food industry who have been struggling in the circle for more than ten years or even decades and have extensive connections and abundant resources.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. In fact, Fu Yu is really good enough.

When the election started, everyone present became nervous and everyone was very curious about the person being nominated.

Regardless of whether he can be successfully elected, he has already been nominated, which is very impressive.

"Alvin Callum York, 49."

"John Griffiths, 54."

The venue suddenly became quiet. After the name of each nominated person was read out, a corresponding personal introduction appeared on the big screen, with detailed explanations of the reasons for their nomination.

These people have achieved various outstanding results in the food industry.

Each person who is eligible to make the nomination has five places on hand.

When it was Eric's turn, he read out the names of four people first, and finally, he said loudly: "The last excellent chef I recommend is Fu Yu from China, who is 24 years old!"

When the name of this nominating person appeared, the whole venue suddenly became lively.

When Fu Yu was nominated, everyone was already prepared that he would smoothly enter the campaign stage.

After all, he is very popular now, and everyone is looking forward to seeing him and Justin on the same stage.

  But now, no one expected that the person who nominated Fu Yu would be Eric!

After Eric said Fu Yu's name, he began to introduce him dutifully: "This is a new star in the Chinese food circle, or a culinary genius. He is 24 years old, has won the national cooking competition, served as a member of the domestic food association, has innovated and improved 17 dishes, successfully published a very excellent cooking guide with teaching reference value, and served as the general director of the domestic special research group."

"This is a talented and hardworking young man! He has a strong ability to accept and understand new things, and has very unique ideas and insights on the development direction of the food industry. He is a rare talent in the food industry!" "The reason why I recommend Fu Yu: he is young, capable, and has a high level of cooking skills. He can be promoted to the position of association member!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the audience was shocked!

When Eric nominated the other four people before, he didn't nod so confidently and say that they were qualified for the position of committee member.

He only mentioned Fu Yu.

At this moment, everyone was surprised and their attention was focused on the detailed introduction of Fu Yu on the big screen.

Eric's actions were undoubtedly an open canvassing for Fu Yu.

Suddenly, the entire venue began to talk.

No one expected that such an explosive scene would occur at the beginning of the campaign.

Justin, who was sitting in the fourth row and was eagerly waiting for his candidate to come on stage, suddenly changed his expression and stared at Eric with gloomy eyes, full of resentment!

He had made sufficient preparations for today, spent a lot of manpower and resources to build momentum, and tried every means to maintain his popularity, but he did not expect to encounter this situation at the most critical moment.

Justin was extremely angry and annoyed at this moment, but when he looked at the photo of Fu Yu on the big screen, he found that he was indeed very young and energetic.

But, it was just a recommendation from Eric, no big deal.

Justin took a deep breath to calm himself down.

At this time, many people from China became extremely excited. Chef Eric was a senior in the food circle whom they all respected very much. He was very popular and he had even been a great advocate of Chinese food culture from the very beginning.

Now that Fu Yu can get his recommendation, this is still a very important thing.

This can even get support from many of Eric's connections.

Many media in the venue became excited as well. They had originally been worried that Fu Yu was too young and had entered the circle too late, and would be easily crushed by Justin, and the heat of this event would fade away.

  Now it seems that this confrontation on the same stage will be very exciting!

But Fu Yu was very surprised. He looked at Eric in disbelief. He was stunned but also a little moved.

Eric's actions at this time were equivalent to a direct statement. Among the five candidates, he was most optimistic about Fu Yu.

This means that Eric has given up on nominating his own people to compete for the seat on the association's committee.

Not only Fu Yu thought so, many people who supported Eric were also surprised. Was he not going to let his people run in the election?

  The four people nominated above are all there to help Fu Yu successfully serve as a member of the association?

Because of Eric's actions, Fu Yu's attention increased significantly in a short period of time.

Among the subsequent nominees, three people from China were nominated one after another, and their nominators were also well-known figures internationally.

All of a sudden, everyone in the Chinese region was completely excited. It was already very difficult to have 4 people selected.

After all, there were 150 nominees in total, but only 75 were finally selected.

After all the nominated candidates were announced, it was time for lunch.

Lunch was a very sumptuous buffet arranged by the event organizer.

However, most people just ate a little bit and spent more time discussing the afternoon voting.

It is a great honor to be a member of the International Gourmet Association.

Everyone who is qualified to be selected represents the food community of his or her own country.

Among the 75 people, 25 will eventually be officially selected, with a probability of three to one. Among every three people, two will lose and one will advance.

For a moment, everyone became nervous.

Even He Jie and others were also worried at this time.

They silently hoped that the nominated candidates from their country would be successfully admitted, but secretly, they hoped that Fu Yu, with whom they had a very good relationship, would be successfully elected.

Fu Yu didn't eat much and had no appetite. He was excited and a little nervous.

Soon it was afternoon and voting began.

Everyone stared at the big screen intently.

Those who are nominated pray silently, hoping that they can be successfully selected.

Fu Yu was also looking forward to it. His heart was beating like a drum and he didn't notice that Justin suddenly turned around and looked at him.

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference hall was tense and solemn.

At the same time, many media outlets inside the venue had already begun live coverage.

Among these media, many have backgrounds in professional journals and magazines.

Among them, the famous cooking magazine that cooperated with Fu Yu to serialize the cooking guide had already predicted the list of candidates for the International Gourmet Association's committee.

Since Fu Yu is their partner, he must stand on his side. Their magazine directly published the prediction that Fu Yu would be elected in this month's issue.

There are those who support Fu Yu, but there are also those who are not optimistic about him. A food magazine that has always been hostile to this journal, after hearing that its rival is going to change its edition and publish a new cooking guide, immediately regards Fu Yu as a thorn in its side.

So when I heard that my rival was going to promote Fu Yu in the content of this month's journal, I immediately added a comment.

The content directly pointed at Fu Yu. They believed that Fu Yu did not have the ability to publish a cooking guide. Both his qualifications and personal strength were far from enough to compile and complete the guide.

They firmly believe that this is a star-making project in the Chinese food industry.

They even analyzed Yu Lilai's cooking operations and openly mocked his ability to identify cooking operations and his personal cooking level.

The magazine was not originally good at academic content, and the reason it is so popular now is that the person in charge took a different approach and took the gossip route of the food industry, specifically digging deep into and complaining about controversial people in the food industry.
