Chapter 1450 Who Counts Who?

"What's going on? Why is a meeting suddenly called? I've just had dinner?"

After receiving the message, Hoffman immediately asked the staff to verify the situation. If this point suddenly appeared, something big must have happened, and it might delay the afternoon game.

"The organizing committee received the complaint. According to the regulations of the competition, complaints from more than five national teams must be accepted, so the organizing committee immediately requested an emergency meeting to discuss!"

The staff immediately told Hoffman the information they had learned, and he was no longer in the mood to eat. He threw the knife and fork on the table, got up and ran in a hurry, without even having time to wipe his mouth. .
Is this going to cause trouble?
There was obvious anger on Hoffman's face, and he did not continue to ask the staff what kind of complaint it was. But for Hoffman, no matter what type of complaint it was, it was of a very bad nature.

The Japanese team's "provocation" against the Chinese team has been almost semi-public. Although they think it is well hidden, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

The news media on the first day focused on praising it, as well as the deliberate targeting of Kenichi Maeyamada in the judges' seat, and the matter of the ingredients. Now it seems that the problem is very serious.

Don't think that he would just forget about changing Chu Yunfeng's ingredients. Chu Yunfeng was not so easy to deal with. During the cold appetizer competition, Chu Yunfeng kept part of the problematic chicken.

According to him, he found something wrong with the chicken, so he left the evidence, and he had used the non-problematic parts for cooking.

When he got the news after the game, Hoffman was furious immediately, and immediately called for Crystal to discuss.

Both of them were very grateful to Chu Yunfeng for not directly making this matter public, which would have ruined the reputation of the organizing committee and the competition. However, they did not suspect that Chu Yunfeng deliberately cheated because he had no need at all.

When the test results of the chicken came out that night, they found abnormalities indeed. It was a neurotoxin, and it also contained a lot of gastrointestinal pathogenic bacteria, which even high temperatures could not eliminate.

Such a thing definitely cannot simply exist in nature, it must be a premeditated frame-up, so who is the person who poisoned it?

An internal check was conducted quietly, and naturally the staff who provided ingredients to Chu Yunfeng were found, but nothing wrong was found in the procedures and monitoring, which made Crystal feel very angry.

A series of checks are being carried out on this staff member in the past two days. If any problems are found, it will definitely be an earthquake. But as of now, the other party's methods are very covert and no loopholes can be found.

Auguste and Diadona were also enjoying lunch. Although they tasted a lot of delicious food in the morning, they were all eaten at work and lacked the fun of leisure.

Moreover, the performance of the Chinese team this time made the two of them extremely surprised and admired. They were enjoying the food and discussing enthusiastically about whether the Chinese team could win the Grand Slam.

At this moment, the ringing of the phone interrupted their in-depth discussion. Looking at the caller ID, both of them frowned involuntarily.

As soon as the phone was connected, the eyes of the two became sharp in an instant, and they looked at each other for the first time, and they immediately stood up.

Without saying a word, he threw away the knife in his hand and gathered in the conference room with a burst of anger.

On the way to the conference room, August looked very angry: "This is obviously deliberately looking for trouble. The Japanese team was very active before the game. The rules of the game were changed a lot under their "suggestions"."

After hearing this, Diadona became even more angry: "You still don't know, don't you know, which are the six national teams that filed the complaint?"

Huh~?

After walking out of the restaurant, they were about to enter the hotel lobby. Take the elevator up to the conference room. Auguste was no longer in a hurry. Instead, he pulled Diadona aside and asked, "Say!"

"The American team, the British team, the Canadian team, the Australian team and the New Zealand team, of course, plus the Japanese team that provoked them, do you understand now?"

hiss~!

Diadona named six countries in a row, which made August feel very familiar. These five countries seemed
"Five eyes?"

"Yeah, did you just react?"

"Shit, that's so shameless. This was obviously intentional!"

"Not only was it intentional, it was obviously aimed at the Chinese team. Seeing their good results in the competition, I started to think of ways to suppress others!"

"We can't take this matter lightly. We must remind Hoffman and Crystal not to let their conspiracy succeed, otherwise this competition will become a laughing stock."

"Isn't that right? If they are really allowed to slander us like this, the reputation of our top competition will be ruined on the street, and we will probably have no influence in the industry in the future!"

"Let's go, hurry up, don't talk anymore, find Crystal as soon as possible, and discuss the situation with him!"

At this time, many members of the organizing committee and judges' seats were seen entering the hall one after another. August quickly pulled Diadona and ran towards the elevator.

In the meeting room!

Crystal arrived immediately, and Hoffman arrived second. The two of them came to the window to discuss in a low voice.

Even if someone came in and wanted to come over and say hello to them, the two of them directly raised their hands to block them, obviously saying don't disturb them.
After the anxious Auguste and Diadona rushed into the conference room, they naturally saw the two big guys discussing something, while those who had already arrived found seats in the conference room and sat down.

But where can the two sit still?

I happened to see that the two people must have finished their discussion. After nodding, they must have reached an agreement, and then they began to walk towards everyone.

"Hoffman, talk here!"

Crystal was immediately surrounded by people. August and Diadona quickly pulled Hoffman aside and immediately told him about the crisis they were worried about.

"I already know about this. Don't worry, we have already discussed how to deal with it. Now we are just waiting for everyone to arrive to start the discussion."

Already negotiated?

Seeing Hoffman's gloomy look, the two of them naturally noticed the anger in his heart, and understood that this was a deliberate provocation by the Japanese team to the organizing committee and the judges' bench.

If it was a normal complaint, it should have been raised by the Japanese team themselves, but they directly roped in five other companies to make a joint complaint.

And the nature of these five companies is so special, so naturally anyone with a discerning eye can see the fishiness in them.

I know that Hoffman is a very strict person. Since he said so, he must have a way to deal with it, and he will definitely make the other party shut down.

So the two thought that Hoffman and Crystal would definitely look good to the troublemakers. However, when the meeting started, everyone's reaction far exceeded their expectations.

Crystal immediately expressed his objection to this complaint, thinking it was nonsense. The Chinese team prepared the dishes in full view of the public, and there was no room for any doubt.

If there is any doubt, then it is a provocation to the judges' bench, or even a provocation to the organizing committee. This is never allowed. The question of complaint itself is a false proposition.

What does it mean that the aroma of the ingredients produced by the Huaxia team is too different? What is the reason for this?
The Chinese team is also required to give a reasonable explanation. If it cannot explain where this difference comes from, then it means that the Chinese team has tampered with the ingredients, which is unfair to other national teams.

But after receiving feedback from many people in the organizing committee, the angry Crystal immediately looked stunned, and then gradually accumulated more anger in his heart.

"I think since there are complaints, they should be handled in accordance with the regulations. This is the foundation of the competition!"

"There is nothing wrong with their complaints. The Chinese team must respond to their behavior and give everyone an explanation!"

"The difference in aroma does exist. We cannot blind the eyes of impartiality. If the number of complaints increases, it will also be a major challenge to the prestige of the organizing committee!"

It has to be said that this voice of support completely exceeded Crystal and Hoffman's expectations. More than half of the people in the organizing committee and the judges' bench have expressed their support.

This is very different from the past. In the past, at least half of the people expressed their support for whatever Crystal decided. But looking at it today, the situation has turned around.

Crystal, with a livid face, had been silently listening to the opinions of all the supporters. When he saw the people who "jumped out" one by one, he sighed silently in his heart.

It seems that the team is not easy to manage. So many people have expressed support for this complaint. What does this mean? Do you still need to ask?
Is the Japanese team really knowledgeable?
After everyone expressed their opinions, Crystal glanced at Hoffman inadvertently, and then saw him nodding slightly.

As expected, everyone who should jump jumped out. After this strange thing happened, I knew it was definitely not that simple, so let's follow the plan!

"Since so many people have expressed support, let's follow the charter. If you agree to let the Chinese team respond to complaints, please raise your hands!"

Whoa~!

What's the situation?
How could Crystal be so easy to talk to?
In the past, when he encountered so many objections, it was equivalent to a very dangerous provocation for him. In the end, everyone discovered that when it came to raising hands, there were many people who supported him, and the objections could not pass.

In addition, Crystal is not an easy person to talk to, but this time he didn't say anything and directly asked for a show of hands, which had never been seen before.

Abnormal, this is very abnormal!
Crystal's attitude directly caused those who had raised objections to hesitate. However, when some people began to raise their hands, Crystal did not express any special expression at all.

This gradually made some people feel more at ease, so they began to raise their hands!

"Check the statistics and see if it passes?"

Following Crystal's words, the staff quickly tallied up the data. With more than half of the number of people, the complaint was approved!

"Then let's do it. Notify the Chinese team immediately and lodge an appeal based on the relevant complaint content. We will make a review based on the content of the complaint.

Hurry up, the results will be given within half an hour, we will wait here! "

There are still two hours left before the game starts in the afternoon. The organizing committee will wait for the Chinese team's appeal to proceed with the next step!

These are all established procedures. It does not mean that you can ask the Chinese team to do whatever you want after making a complaint. The organizing committee also needs to review the content of the complaint made by the Chinese team.

If the review is passed, then the complaint will be invalid and the Huaxia team will give a reasonable explanation, then there will be no next step in the process.

But can the source of this fragrance be explained clearly?

At this moment, everyone on the Chinese team was also gathered in a conference room. As early as ten minutes ago, Chu Yunfeng received a call from Hoffman and told him about the complaint.

Moreover, Hoffman also asked Chu Yunfeng to help and cooperate, just in time to solve the problem of the last time the ingredients were tampered with. Of course, Chu Yunfeng agreed immediately.

"coming!"

When Minister Wang's phone rang, the conference room that had been furious just a second ago immediately fell silent.

"Okay, okay, I understand, the materials will be handed over soon.

OK"

The call was quickly hung up, and then the staff from the Chinese team immediately opened their mailbox and immediately saw the email sent by the organizing committee.

He immediately attached the compiled complaint documents, then looked at Minister Wang, waiting for his instructions!

"Don't be too anxious. It looks like we are prepared. Just wait, we will send it out in 5 minutes!"

puff~!

This statement immediately made everyone laugh, and they all said not to overdo it, but how could so much material be sorted out in 5 minutes?
This is clearly telling others that I have actually prepared the things early in the morning just to prevent you from doing this. This is a naked slap in the face.

After the Japanese team brought together the five companies to complain, everyone who heard the news was filled with indignation, and everyone was well aware of the aroma issue.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to know that Chu Yunfeng has such a heaven-defying method, but what Yamada Shoichi and others don't know is that Chu Yunfeng has a super prop Kunlun Pot.

There was no need for Chu Yunfeng to hide this pot. He had been using it since the state banquet chef training, and everyone was extremely amazed at the magic of this pot.

He kept asking Chu Yunfeng where he found it. It was even more awesome than the little chef’s kitchen utensils in the cartoon. This pot can not only increase the production time of ingredients by 20%, but most importantly, it can also increase the aroma by 50%.

At first, Peng Yue and the others didn't believe it, but later, Song Shaochen and the others, after obtaining Chu Yunfeng's consent, used this pot to make the same dishes as ordinary pots for comparison.

Of course, the ingredients were all the same, and the result really surprised everyone. The aroma of the dishes made in Chu Yunfeng's pot was indeed much richer than in the other pot.

Faced with such a magical kitchen utensil, no matter how hard everyone tried to coerce or induce him, Chu Yunfeng did not reveal anything. No matter how much everyone inquired and tested, they did not get even a trace of useful information.

In the end, everyone reluctantly gave up, and after getting used to it, they acquiesced.
So we don’t have to worry about the aroma at all. According to the regulations of the organizing committee, you can bring your own kitchen utensils, so the magical effect of this pot does not violate the regulations.

On the contrary, this complaint with ulterior motives is the most unreasonable, but it is also a good opportunity for the other party to learn a lesson and taste the feeling of being beaten.

Now that you are in the early stage, you have to accept the preparations for being beaten, so when the staff clicks the send button after 5 minutes, everyone on the Huaxia team will laugh heartily
