Chapter 644 Confessing and Resisting Strictness
Different from the tense atmosphere at Xia Tong's side, Chu Yunfeng's chatting atmosphere here is very good.

After closing at noon, Chu Yunfeng went directly to Xingchen. At this time, the private room was filled with laughter, and it was no different from a tea party.

"The National Hotel Vocational Skills Competition will be held in three days. This time it will be held in the capital. We will try to come back with a good ranking."

Mu Qing waited until Chu Yunfeng sat down before announcing this very important matter.

"it is good!"

"no problem!"

"Look at us!"

Those eating small oranges, nibbling melon seeds, and peeling peanuts all stopped their movements and then applauded enthusiastically.

"But there is a question. The day after tomorrow is the banquet time at the boutique. Can you make it in time the next day?"

Chu Yunfeng held a banquet, and many people went to the hotel to help. People like Guo Kui, Hu Yue, and Liu Xiaoxiao were all going.

These people have individual and team events to compete in, so what needs to be discussed now is how to arrange their time.

"I don't think it's a big problem. Either I can catch the evening flight after the banquet, or I can take the early flight the next morning. It should be no problem."

Chu Yunfeng thought for a while and said, in fact, flying at night is the safest. If you fly during the day, you are afraid that you will not be able to catch up in time.

"I think it's better to fly at night. The traffic jam in Beijing is too severe. What if you arrive in the morning and get stuck on the road?"

Wu Ma prefers to stay at night, which is more secure.

"You may not have enough time in the evening. Mr. Wang obviously wants to show off this time. The person invited to dinner must be of high status.

When the time comes to start drinking, you still don’t know when it will end? "

Master Zhu is not as optimistic as Wu Ma. The reality is here.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. How about you go first? I can handle it by myself.

I took a look at the schedule. It doesn't matter if I arrive a little late. I'll ask Peng Yue to pick me up then. He's familiar with the roads in Beijing, so it'll be no problem. "

Chu Yunfeng didn't want to delay the hotel's business because of this matter. Such a competition was very important to the hotel, and the national competition awards were very valuable.

What does a hotel's grade and status depend on? Isn't it just based on these awards?
Otherwise, how can we brag to guests about the advantages of our hotel? Guests often come from these places to deepen their impression.

"How about it, what if you mess up by yourself?"

Mu Qing was a little worried. So many people came to help at the last banquet so that nothing went wrong. Everyone was very busy. How could Chu Yunfeng be able to handle it alone?
"That's right. If we don't help, how can we make extra money for you, Boss Chu? I'm still waiting to save money to marry a wife!"

Guo Kui started to make noises. Only he could make this joke. Who made him Chu Yunfeng's best friend?

Seeing everyone laughing, Chu Yunfeng was overjoyed. Hu Yue also laughed, but her appearance was uglier than crying. Liu Xiaoxiao gave him a hard slap on the waist.

Just when Chu Yunfeng was about to speak, his cell phone rang. When he saw that it was Long Ma, he signaled to everyone and walked aside to pick up the call.

"Hey, what are you celebrating? It's so lively?"

Long Ma heard Chu Yunfeng's lively voice and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"It's nothing. We are discussing the banquet the day after tomorrow. How is the situation with Brother Wang? Has the menu been decided?"

Chu Yunfeng was also thinking about preparing ingredients. What if Long Ma suddenly asked for a high-quality fish maw like last time?
Fortunately, Boss Wu has great powers, otherwise it would be a pity, so Chu Yunfeng decided that the next banquet reservation should be made in advance.

Not only that, even the auction time was extended a little, so that it would be more convenient to operate and avoid some unforeseen events that would delay things.

"I just want to tell you this. Your brother Wang is planning to hold a family dinner this time, and all the people invited are family members. I want to tell you in advance, so you have peace of mind.

That’s it, it’s dead! "

Long Ma always spoke simply and clearly, but such a simple message made Chu Yunfeng momentarily confused.

Lao Wang, what is this operation?
Didn't you agree to show off?
Could it be that Lao Wang suddenly changed his temper?

But these are not important to me. What is important is that this is good news. Since it is a family dinner, it should not be very long, and there will be no problem in taking a late flight.

"There's good news. This banquet is a family banquet and shouldn't last long."

Chu Yunfeng's news also shocked everyone. It seemed that everyone was thinking the same thing as him. Isn't it bad to show off?
"This is a good thing. Then we should stick to the original plan. Everyone should leave early, and the helpers will come over after they finish for the evening."

Mu Qing made the final decision and settled the matter.

Sure enough, as Long Ma said, Lao Wang called in the afternoon and told Chu Yunfeng that he was preparing a family dinner this time, and then sent someone to take Chu Yunfeng to his office to discuss the menu.

"Brother Wang, I didn't expect you to be so low-key this time."

After meeting, Chu Yunfeng spoke his mind.

But how does Lao Wang sound like Chu Yunfeng has misunderstood something? Does it count as low-key if I invite my family to dinner?

"Low-key? Brother Chu, you are still a little too young. Sometimes, the surface of this fact is not as simple as you see.

Often when it is low-key, it is a high-profile performance. Many times it looks high-profile, but it is actually prepared for being low-key. "

What Lao Wang said was so confusing that Chu Yunfeng was a little confused.

However, if Chu Yunfeng could stay in his office for a while like Long Ma did before, just for a short time, he would definitely understand the meaning of Lao Wang's words.

Low key?

Brother, I’ve just finished my high profile, do I still need to be low profile?
The more low-key ones are yet to come. If my fair-weather friends find out about this, they will have no choice but to swallow this dumb loss.

This is the cool part, so do you think this low-key performance is a high-profile performance?
It's just that this matter can't be too high-profile publicity, if it is really high-profile, this matter will fail.

"There are 12 people in total for the family dinner. This is the list. But regarding the menu, I have a small request. I don't know if you can agree to it."

Lao Wang smiled mysteriously, which made Chu Yunfeng tremble in his heart. He suspected that he would not propose a mission to find high-quality fish maws like Long Ma, right?
After a long time, the two discussed a series of issues such as the menu, and Chu Yunfeng also said that he would send the invitation letter tomorrow morning.

As for the request made by Lao Wang, Chu Yunfeng just smiled after hearing it and immediately agreed.

But when he was about to leave, Lao Wang suddenly said: "Can the banquet not be broadcast live this time?"

"Okay, no problem!"

Chu Yunfeng agreed as soon as he heard it and understood Lao Wang's intentions.

As for the family dinner, it is somewhat private in itself, so it is right not to make it public.

Especially when Lao Wang knew the significance of the live broadcast to him, he specifically made such a request, which shows how important this matter is to him.

"Haha! Don't worry, it's okay to live broadcast the dishes for your banquet, just don't live broadcast during the meal."

Lao Wang added his request and was very grateful that Chu Yunfeng agreed to his request without any hesitation.

"That's not bad. At least everyone can see what I cook. I believe they will like these high-end dishes."

Before leaving, Chu Yunfeng nodded and said it was okay.

It seems that Lao Wang wants to have a good meal with his family, and the live broadcast will make his family feel a little bit reluctant.

Although this will affect part of the live broadcast income, but because of Lao Wang's feelings, this loss is nothing.

Just after I came out of Lao Wang's place, I received a call from President Hou, asking me to rush to Xingchen and have dinner at Xingchen tonight.

President Hou?
Didn’t he return to the capital?

Why are you coming to Chengdu again?
Why should I say it again?

On the way to Xingchen, Chu Yunfeng sent the list of the banquet to Hao Minming and asked her to prepare it and send it to Lao Wang's company early tomorrow morning.

Then he called Boss Wu and started to order ingredients.

A small request made by Lao Wang really surprised me, that is, he asked himself to cook an extra dish.

Because this dish is not on the menu and I have never made it myself, I am about to go to the hotel to learn from Hu Yue. He is a master at making this dish.

As for the ingredients for this dish, there should be no problem. Even if Boss Wu doesn’t have the goods, he can even transport them by air.

After confirming all the ingredients with Boss Wu, the ingredients for this "small request" are really not in stock and have to be airlifted from Japan.

But Boss Wu said it was no problem, he could help him get it done, and he had enough time.

After thanking Boss Wu, Chu Yunfeng received another call from Mu Qing, and only then did he know the purpose of President Hou letting him go.

It turned out that the master chefs who came to the hotel to make cold dishes last time were here, and President Hou specially booked several tables in the hotel. This was to thank them.

"When will you arrive? Mr. Li is already here and chatting with the masters. You don't know that these masters will praise you very much in front of Mr. Li."

Mu Qing seemed to have just come out of it, and Chu Yunfeng could still hear the lively sounds.

"I'm on my way back. We won't be there for a while. It seems I won't be able to escape tonight. I'll probably get drunk again."

Chu Yunfeng has already started to realize. Don't these masters give themselves a hard meal when they see him?

"It's good to know. The hangover soup has been prepared for you. Feel free to drink it tonight."

Mu Qing secretly smiled and then continued: "By the way, President Hou originally invited the masters to dinner this time. It was him who invited them.

But I refused. After all, these master chefs came to our hotel to teach cooking, so the hotel should invite them this time. "

Chu Yunfeng felt very happy after hearing this. Mu Qing did all this for her own sake, a typical good wife.

It would be very helpful for President Hou to gather these masters together for him. If he went to invite them himself, he might not be able to invite them.

As for the issue of expenses, since Mu Qing had already asked her to pay, he would not argue with her. In fact, the money should be paid by himself.

But if he strongly asked for it, it would be too harsh and would be in vain. Mu Qing's kindness was in vain. Who made her his girlfriend?

So Chu Yunfeng didn't just blankly and stupidly offer to pay him, but instead praised Mu Qing mercilessly on the phone.

Mu Qing smiled and replied directly: "Not bad, my emotional intelligence has improved now."

Chu Yunfeng replied arrogantly: "Brother, my emotional intelligence has always been very high, but I just woke up recently."

The call was not hung up until Chu Yunfeng arrived at the hotel. Chu Yunfeng quietly appeared behind Mu Qing, shocking her.

After the two had an intimate fight, Mu Qing took them to the private room.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him. If the sharp expressions of the masters were replaced by other timid ones, they would probably be too scared to go in.

"Masters, I'm sorry, I'm a little late. I'll punish myself with three drinks later."

Chu Yunfeng was not afraid of such aura, he bowed first after entering, expressing his respect.

"Three cups? You think so?

Don't even think about going out like this if I don't drink you up tonight. "

The person who spoke was Master Wang. He was the first to enter the hotel to cook, and he was also the first to be "received".

Especially before leaving, he misunderstood that Chu Yunfeng was pretending, but it made him very angry.

"Yes, I just can't let him go, I have to let him go today."

"If you can walk out straight today, I will write my name backwards."

"Still walking straight? What are you thinking about? If you can walk sideways, I will take his surname."

The masters immediately "exploded", and they all threatened to beat Chu Yunfeng to the end. This made Chu Yunfeng a little scared, as they wanted to torture him to death.

It seems that I didn't offend them, so why do they all look like women from deep boudoirs, so they have to embarrass themselves?

Chu Yunfeng was about to back out. He glanced back and found that Mu Qing gave him an encouraging look, then turned around and went out, closing the door behind him.
Oh my god, little Mumu, are you so cruel? This is murdering your husband!
"Let's go, let's go, why are you still here? We still have many questions to ask you!"

When Master Wang saw Chu Yunfeng showing signs of trying to escape, he immediately grabbed him and pulled him in. Master Zhao also came over and carried him over.

After Mr. Li sat down at the table, all the master chefs gathered around. Master Wang was the first to ask: "Come on, come on, tell us the truth, how did you learn from us the ability to keep the bottom of the box?" From the past?”

"Yes, tell the truth and don't hide anything!"

"Be lenient with confession, strict with resistance!"

If someone who didn't know what was going on saw it, they would think it was a gangster torture to extract a confession. The masters rolled up their sleeves and looked very serious.

On the other hand, Mr. Li and President Hou at the main table were very happy, watching Chu Yunfeng with a smile and waiting for him to "recruit from the truth".

Facing Chu Yunfeng's request for help, he looked unmoved at all, especially President Hou, who was so scolded by these masters that day that Chu Yunfeng didn't help.

Chu Yunfeng knew it was over at a glance. Mr. Li and President Hou made it clear that they were waiting to see their own jokes, and it was impossible to ask them for help.

But what should I say?

Even if you tell the truth, no one will believe it?

Suddenly, Chu Yunfeng had an idea, turned around and looked at the masters surrounding him and said: "Um, um, actually I am the eighth Calabash Boy, and I am born with a photographic memory.

So, are you satisfied with that?"
