It's not too late to love again

Chapter 331 Vatican's Crisis 2
After that day, Xiaoying worked harder to learn cooking skills from Master Wu, but both master and apprentice tacitly did not mention the invitation about Shao Qing and Luo Kaixuan in the shop.Xiaoying is a low-key person and doesn't like to show off deliberately, and Master Wu knows that some people in the store are jealous of Xiaoying, such things should not be publicized for the time being.

But about the cooking contest, it's a little tricky.This is a competition jointly organized by the Culinary Institute of this city, Juncheng Hotel and several other five-star hotels. It is different from other ordinary cooking competitions. This type of competition is relatively high-standard, and the various selections are relatively stricter, not casual. Anyone who can cook can sign up to participate.There are clear regulations for the contestants... they must be recommended by well-known restaurants in the city, or recommended by members of the Culinary Association, or those who hold a chef certificate.

Fortunately, Xiaoying was recommended by Master Wu, because Master Wu is a member of the Culinary Association.The competition is divided into two forms. Those who have a chef certificate and those who do not have a chef certificate will compete separately. The former is the "Golden Hand" and the latter is the "Newcomer Award". Two first prizes will be set up at the same time Award, the same bonus. .

This is the fairest and most attractive part of the game.Potential newcomers in the culinary world are not compared with those who have already obtained a chef certificate, so that newcomers are fully given the opportunity and space to develop.This kind of competition is very suitable for Xiaoying. If I don't go, I will feel sorry for myself and Master Wu.

The competition has been held three times, once a year, and today is the fourth time.Master Wu is a member of the Culinary Institute and is well-known in this industry. Even though he works in a small restaurant like Shuxiang, many people still come to him, wanting to be introduced by Master Wu to this cooking competition.

This is the embodiment of strength and fame. Even though Master Wu has long ceased to work in a five-star hotel and lives in a small restaurant indifferent to fame and fortune, people who know him have not forgotten him or ignored him because of this.There are many people who come to the door with good cigarettes, wine and even more expensive things.This is called a real master, master.

Not only outsiders, even Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin have been eager to move recently, becoming very diligent, wandering around Master Wu all day long, serving tea and water, just like serving their own father.

Why this is so is self-evident.Isn't it all about qualifying for the cooking competition?

Master Wu is low-key, but he is discerning in his heart. He knows what Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin are up to, and he still has the heart to tell the truth to beat these two lads... Even without Xiaoying, he would not recommend Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin. Zheng Bin went to the competition.He knew very well who was going to the competition. There were too many master chefs. Among the chef contestants competing for the rookie award, almost every one had a master chef behind them. They were not weak, and their strength should not be underestimated. Although Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin have worked with him in Shuxiang for three years, they are very lazy and have mediocre talents. After three years, they are not as good as Xiaoying who studied here for two months.They went to the competition purely for masturbation, and it is estimated that they would have to be rejected in the first round.

The atmosphere in the shop is weird recently, everyone is secretly thinking about the cooking competition, only Master Wu supports Xiao Ying, and everyone else supports Ah Xiang and Zheng Bin.Xiaoying was isolated, squeezed out, and deliberately made things difficult... But those people learned to be smart. In front of Master Wu, they were kind to Xiaoying, but they began to bully Xiaoying even more behind Master Wu's back.

Xiaoying is grateful to Master Wu. In order not to cause more conflicts in the store, Xiaoying bears it silently, but she will work harder and harder to study and practice, and will try her best to compete for the master in the cooking competition in the near future.

Golden Rainbow One.

A casino on the fourth floor.

This place is much more lively than the other casinos. The strange thing is that although many people are gambling, some of them are watching the game in the hall, whispering, pointing in a certain direction, and everyone is very excited. , there are also some elements of watching a show.

That's right, they were just watching a theater... because it is said that in this hall, someone has already won tens of millions in just two hours.

On Jinhong No. [-], there are people of all colors from various countries. At this moment, the master who is killing the Quartet in Casino No. [-] is a black man.

He is a new face, and he has never been to Jinhong No. 1000 before. Today, he can sing triumphant songs for the first time, winning [-] million chips in two hours, and there is a trend to continue.This kind of thing spread quickly on the cruise ship, and people from other casinos came here with the mentality of watching a show, wanting to see how divine this is.

In the surveillance room, He Dong, the director of the casino, was carefully watching every move of the black man on the surveillance screen.

He Dong, now 40 years old, is a well-known master in the gambling world. He is one of the people who were hired by Fan Dihua to sit in the town. His job is to supervise the business status of each casino, especially pay attention to whether there are any Professional gamblers appear, have they cheated in the casino?

But now, He Dong's face was solemn, and he observed for a long time, but he didn't see anything wrong with the black man.Could it be that he won 1000 million chips without paying a thousand?

He Dong's reputation in this industry is not only in the country, but the whole of Asia regards him as "Thunder Eye", which means that these eyes can see through gamblers' brilliant tricks, and it is best not to use a thousand tricks in front of him, otherwise It's like courting death.

However, "Thunder Eye" He Dong was very depressed today, and his intuition told him that there was something wrong with that black man in the casino, but what exactly was the problem?Unless there is evidence that the black man cheated, otherwise, according to the rules of this business, at this moment, there is no reason to prevent the other party from continuing to gamble.And letting the Negro go on is tantamount to sending him money.

1000 million, Jinhong No. [-] will not be so stingy that he refuses to give it, but if he meets a professional gambler who comes here to win the money away, he will never allow it.Like Henry, he would be kicked off the ship, blacklisted, and never allowed to board the Golden Rainbow One.

If you don't get caught, you deserve to get rich, but if you get caught, you're unlucky.

Another two hours passed, and the black man finally won 2000 million. He Dong and several other supervisors gathered together in front of the monitor in the monitoring room, but they couldn't find any evidence that the black man had cheated. He could only watch helplessly as the other party won the money away. , at 11:58 in the evening, the black man stopped gambling, and with a satisfied smile on his face, he happily left Jinhong No. 2000 with [-] million yuan in his arms.

This night, Jinhong No. [-] was parked at a port in City C, and it was originally planned to set sail the next afternoon.

When this happened, even though the black man left, He Dong still notified Fandi just to be on the safe side.

An entertainment venue owned by the Fan family, the most famous bar in the city... "Season [-]", Fandi is entertaining distinguished guests here... the big brother from Macau.The gambling industry in Macau is divided into three parts, and the Fan family is one of them. There are two other families. One family is named He. It is the middle-aged man who is drinking with Fan Di right now... He Yusen.

To say that He Yusen is the big brother is a kind of polite address. In terms of status, Fandi and He Yusen are the same.

He Yusen has a bald head, he has gained weight in his middle age, and he looks a little fatter than before, which makes him look a little less angry. In addition, He Yusen is in a good mood today, with a smile on his face, hearty and unrestrained. Like a long-lost old friend.

"Hahaha, brother Fan, I haven't seen you for a few years. Are you going to develop into a legendary evildoer? Tsk tsk... With your appearance, I am afraid that you have fascinated many women? Do you remember when I was in Macau? Does your sister hang around you all day long? Now that she knows you are getting married soon, she still doesn’t give up. She also said that if you hadn’t left Macau and came to City C, she would definitely have caught up with you... Hahaha, what a pity, what a pity, Brother Fan I didn't become my brother-in-law, otherwise we would join forces, we would definitely be more energetic than now, earn more, and it would not be a problem to dominate Macau, hahaha..." He Yusen's rough voice resounded throughout the box, and could be heard outside the door .

Team up to dominate?Of course Fandi laughed off such jokes, on the surface he still wanted to save face, laughing and drinking together was not very happy, but whether each of them really thought so in their hearts was another matter.

To entertain He Yusen, Fandi put in a lot of effort.The other party's status is not low, so naturally the etiquette of the Fan family cannot be lost in the reception.The several bottles of wine on this table alone are worth more than 10 yuan, and the presidential suite booked by He Yusen in the six-star hotel Juncheng, and the person who is in charge of serving He Yusen... All these expenses add up to a lot. Not much, but it's a drop in the bucket for Fandi.

He Yusen patted Fandi on the shoulder with one hand, blinked at him, and smiled brightly: "Brother Fan, you are too mean, I came all the way from Macau, and you didn't bring out my younger siblings for me to see? "

Brother and sister, this refers to Luo Qishan...

Fandi remained calm, touched the wine glass in his hand to He Yusen's, and said heartily: "Brother Sen, my fiancée is a doctor. Unlike ours, we have more free time. She has surgery to do these days, and she is very busy. I don't have time to see me. If you can't come tonight, Brother Sen will forgive you."

He Yusen stared, touched his shiny head, and looked at Fandi enviously: "Brother, you really have married a beautiful doctor? I heard that her family has strong financial resources, and she is the sole heir of the family... …The combination of the two families will complement each other even more in the future. Brother, you really have a vision, I envy you so much, your wife must be much better than that tigress in my family, as a man, you are so blessed!"

He Yusen's eyes lit up, he was really envious, as if he wished he could immediately become ten years younger and then divorce the tigress at home...

Brother and brother called each other affectionately, but no one would really talk about their privacy. Fandi didn't want to explain more about his relationship with Luo Qishan. Hearing what He Yusen said, Fandi was noncommittal, just smiling, with a His secretive appearance made it impossible for people to guess his reality.

Under He Yusen's smiling face, he couldn't help thinking... What a Fandi, he hides so deeply, compared to a few years ago, he is even more unpredictable, and it is really difficult to get something out of him.

Drinking a glass of wine is like drinking water. He Yusen's alcohol capacity is too high, and Fandi can't show weakness.

But just at this moment, Shanying pushed the door open and came in, sneaking up to Fandi and whispering something in his ear.

Under the flickering lights in the private room, I couldn't see the fleeting coldness in Fandi's eyes clearly, but within a few minutes after Shan Ying left, Fandi immediately told He Yusen that he had booked a room at the hotel, and the special staff Waiting, just wait for He Yusen to pass by.

Originally, I was having fun, and I should have played for a while, but it suddenly ended like this, which is really strange.But He Yusen didn't ask any more questions, and went to the Juncheng Hotel with Fandi. After getting settled, Fandi left.

He Yusen looked down from the hotel window, and could vaguely see Fandi's car heading in a certain direction, and the harbor was not far ahead, where a cruise ship parked like a hill was brightly lit and dazzing. It is particularly eye-catching.
