Why does it happen again and again and again and again?

This has already been rated level 3 individually. Mr. Maolin, you answered the phone and got interrupted again. What are you trying to do?

Thanks to the analyst's dexterity, the tapping finger of his right hand moved abruptly, turned his head suddenly, and glared at Zhang Maolin who was talking loudly at the door, "What are you doing! Do you know this is very annoying? !”

Zhang Maolin wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It means, this is a pure accident!"

Turning to Boss Su, "Why didn't I know that you still have this problem? When did you start fighting with foreigners?"

Su Chen scratched his forehead and couldn't remember when he thought about it. When did I ever fight with a foreigner?

"Quickly, enter another record. Two months ago, I had a fight with Carlson, the chef of Ledoyen, a three-star Michelin restaurant in China. This is a letter of recommendation from Mr. Carlson."

Zhang Maolin showed the analyst a scanned copy on his mobile phone. The man looked at it for a moment and said, "These are all foreign languages ​​that I don't recognize."

He turned to look at Su Chen, "Is this really happening?"

From the beginning to the end, Su Chen felt that this incident was full of absurdity, but now that it has become like this, he still said honestly, "When Carlson followed a high-speed rail director from China to the capital to discuss the project, Mr. Shang As a host, I took them to my restaurant for dinner, and this did happen.”

The analyst frowned, "I mean, have you ever had any kind of competition?"

Su Chen thought for a while.

How he defines this so-called "game" is somewhat difficult to define. If Liu Guochu and Wang Zhijun are both "games", then Carlson's situation at the time seems to be considered a game.

But if you have to say it like this, it seems a bit too far-fetched.

Just when Su Chen was in a dilemma, the person in charge of the State Guesthouse smiled and said, "It seems that Boss Su is not easy to distinguish. I have some opinions on this matter."

Seeing that everyone was focusing on him, the person in charge continued to talk, "When I hosted a state banquet before, in order to make the dishes more in line with the tastes of foreign leaders, I took the team to various major restaurants in the country. Visited and communicated for a while.”

Several other people also nodded in agreement.

This kind of communication is necessary to be held frequently in the industry. Only by going out and seeing more and learning more can we have a clearer understanding of our own situation.

However, hotels like the State Guesthouse are very wealthy and often take people to Europe to exchange experiences.

Forget it, these hotels often communicate with each other in various parts of the country.

The person in charge of the State Guesthouse said, "These foreign countries, especially these Michelin chefs, have an unwritten rule in their industry."

"If a chef deeply recognizes another chef's cooking skills and thinks he is not as good as the other chef, then he will send the other chef an invitation letter from the restaurant where he works. First of all, this is a courtesy. Secondly, I also hope that the other party can visit the restaurant in person one day in the future to communicate with him about the changes during this period. "

Having said that, the person in charge looked at Su Chen with amusement, "If Chef Carlson really admits and thinks that he is not as good as Boss Su in making French meals, then I believe that when he left, Most likely, he will give Boss Su such an invitation letter."

Finally, the person in charge added, "Of course, it's normal that they didn't send it. After all, they are in a foreign country. It's very difficult for them to admit to chefs from other countries that their skills are inferior to others in the field they are best at." things.”

It’s time to say it or not.

It’s no wonder that this person in charge can become the top leader of the State Guesthouse. His speech is impeccable and comprehensive.

First, he expressed his own knowledge, which made people think that what he said was extremely credible. And it also shows how difficult it is to get such an invitation. This is simply not something that ordinary chefs can do.

In the end, he specifically said that it was normal if he couldn't get it. It gave Su Chen a step up in advance. At least it wouldn't be too embarrassing when Su Chen couldn't get this so-called invitation letter.

The other three people in charge kept nodding.

"It is really difficult to be a chef at a restaurant like Ledoyen. It is said that many wealthy people in the capital have to make reservations at least half a month in advance in order to have a meal at this restaurant."

"The restaurant in the square garden east of the Champs Elysées is one of the oldest restaurants in the country. The chef who can work in this restaurant is at least level four compared to the chefs in our country!"

"If you have the opportunity, you should really communicate more with these restaurants. French food is very popular in our country now, and I have recently considered adding a French restaurant in the Second Department of Peace."

After a few casual chats, everyone has basically locked up the outcome of this matter.

It doesn’t matter if you challenge yourself at home, but you challenge a three-star chef from abroad. This does sound a bit nonsense, besides.

Anyone who has been to foreign exchanges knows that those foreigners are very arrogant, especially the chefs from China and Italy. They sincerely look down on chefs from other countries, especially chefs from Asia.

If you want them to admit defeat with sincerity, it will be more painful than cutting off their heads.

So sending an invitation letter is simply impossible.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

Su Chen took out his wallet, and then took out a wrinkled card with faded folds from the wallet. "This seems to be what Carlson gave me when he left. He said that if I had time, I could go to his restaurant to taste the real French cuisine. Unfortunately, I never had time."

The abrupt words interrupted the laughter of everyone. The person in charge of the State Guesthouse turned his head to look at the wrinkled card in Su Chen's hand, and took it and looked at it carefully.

The signature of Carlson is not recognized, but it is not forged, because the authenticity can be directly confirmed by the phone number on the card. No one would be bored to do such a thing.

The front is a photo of the Ledoyen restaurant, and the back is a welcome message for ordering food. The card is very delicate, but Su Chen folded it and put it in his wallet, making it a little worn.

"No. Do you really have it?"

Su Chen was stunned, "Is this something precious? I thought it was a polite thing like [Let's have dinner together when we are free] when we part."

Zhang Maolin:? ? ?

The other three persons in charge also had a lot of question marks on their faces.

It's not you

Even the person in charge of the State Guesthouse began to look at Su Chen with a different look.

This kid is not honest!

After entering the door, he sat directly in the second row, and then he didn't say a word.

The previous scores were all around 7 points. At the end, he did such a wave. He had good things in his hands but didn't take them out earlier. He chose to take them out at this time.

Just take it.

The key is that you don't pretend to be so ignorant and ignorant, giving people the feeling that you are pretending to be cool, brother.

'Hehe, it turns out that the master came here to pretend to be cool. I was just thinking about winning him over to see if I could acquire his company and then take him to my State Guesthouse as a chef or something. '

The person in charge felt that his behavior just now was a bit absurd.

Now Su Chen is basically a third-level member for sure. If this record is input again, no one dares to think about what the result will be, and no one knows.

If their idea just now was to win over, then now

the four leaders have completely regarded Su Chen as their competitor!

In this case

"Mr. Maolin, I would like to ask, what kind of bonus points will chefs who are above level 4 have?"

Zhang Maolin touched the tip of his nose, "I don't know too much. As I said, all our scores and evaluations are calculated through big data analysis."

Seeing that the four leaders were not satisfied with this statement, Zhang Maolin patiently continued to explain.

"First of all, everyone should understand one thing. This banquet is very different from the banquets you have undertaken before."

Previous banquets were basically visits and exchanges between leaders, and then they chose to dine somewhere. For everyone, the banquet was just a trivial part of the visit.

But this time is different. This time it is a completely "food" exchange. Where to eat, what to eat, how it tastes, and how it tastes have become the focus.

It is not the focus of the banquet, but the focus of the entire itinerary of the leaders of various countries.

Mao Lin said, "So the environment of the banquet hall and the experience of the restaurant are certainly important, but the overall strength of the chef, that is, our member evaluation this time, is the top priority."

The implication is also very clear, the membership level will play a decisive role in the evaluation.

The faces of several responsible persons have long lost their ease.

After all, if any of the four of them fails, the other three will get the right to host, which is acceptable. On the contrary, if this small restaurant from a small city gets it, it will be difficult for people to accept psychologically.

But several of them are big figures in Beijing, and there is no more statement at this time. The person in charge of the State Guesthouse just said lightly, "I wonder if Mr. Mao Lin has any other achievements that he suddenly remembered? If not, you can register now, right?"

Zhang Maolin smiled awkwardly, "It should be no, register, register."

The data analyst looked at him resentfully, and this time his hands moved much faster, as if he was afraid that Zhang Maolin would interrupt him again.

After several clicks, the tablet finally showed the progress bar of the final registration, and the speed was slower this time.

Su Chen also stared at the screen, still a little curious.

As the progress bar reached more than 90, the onlookers were obviously breathing heavily.

[100%]!

When this number appeared, Su Chen's phone rang at the same time.

Su Chen looked at the phone, and the others looked at the screen.

[Congratulations! You have successfully registered as a member of the Chinese Cooking Association. Your membership level is: Level 2! ]

Su Chen's heart was pounding. He stared at the phone screen in disbelief, and then moved his eyes to the tablet. The two simple words looked more dazzling than all the other words.

[Level 2]!

The four responsible persons stared at the two words in disbelief, and even the boss of Tianhe Hotel began to cough uncontrollably because he was too excited.

Level 2, the owner of this unknown small restaurant is actually a Level 2 member!

Even the data analyst and Zhang Maolin who were responsible for registration, and another evaluator were shaking with excitement.

Level 2, this is Level 2!

This is not a man-made evaluation. It is the result obtained through the analysis of big data. There is no trick in it.

When Lu Yongliang unexpectedly became the first level 4 member in the country, it caused a stir in the chef community. Many people devoted themselves to studying the rules, and then batches of level 4 members emerged.

And since then, there has been a default rule in the minds of all chefs: the level of state banquet chefs is level 4.

It is almost impossible to go up.

Unless it takes time to settle and gain the recognition of more diners, it is possible to reach the level of level 3.

And now, a person who registered for the first time across levels and became a level 2 member is standing in front of them alive.

How can people not be shocked!

How can people not be surprised!

Even several catering people present have thought about what kind of shock the chef circle will cause when this news is discovered by other chefs on the official website!

Dare not think about it, dare not think about it at all.

After more than ten minutes of silence, the stiffness and numbness of the body woke everyone up from the shock.

The analyst's arm passed through several people and directly held Su Chen's hands, "Congratulations, Boss Su! Congratulations on becoming the first second-level member in the country!"

"Huh" Zhang Maolin breathed a sigh of relief.

He remembered the day after he sent the invitation letter.

First, he received a letter of recommendation from Lu Yongliang, and then from several other national chefs.

Even before Su Chen came to the association today, he received a message from Mr. Shang of the Urban Construction Group, asking him not to register too quickly, saying that the people of Fa have not woken up yet, so give him some time.

Zhang Maolin was not shocked that Su Chen could directly become a second-level member.

What really shocked him was that it was a shame for a national chef to lose to other chefs, so why would so many people go behind Su Chen's back and help him?

"In this case, please take your seats again, and our evaluation will continue!"

Just now, the scores of the five companies have been received.

The average score of the first four restaurants is about 9 points, while Delicious is about 7 points, which is a big difference.

Su Chen calculated silently. If the average score is used, even if he gets 10 points directly, it will be difficult to compete with the other restaurants.

"The last item, the score of Peace Department 2 is"

Jingzhou.

Lu Yongliang, Cui Yufen, Liu Guochu and others gathered at the round table in the cafeteria on the 19th floor.

When Lao Lu pressed the refresh interface displayed on his mobile phone.

[Su Chen: Level 2]

His eyes were red for no reason.
