Chapter 776 Persuading and Being Persuaded
The next day, Jiang Yang got up early in the morning and went straight to the Chefs Association.

Lin Yong went to work very early, but he was not very interested, and looked preoccupied.

Walking into the office, Lin Yong had to start another day's work.

Now is the period when the National Culinary Competition is being held. Although the headquarters of the Chefs Association is in charge, as a branch of the Chefs Association, Lin Yong is also responsible for helping the headquarters to promote it.Even send some people to help.

There are also some bits and pieces of chores, in fact, the day is not easy.

Lin Yong just sat down and started to work after making himself a pot of tea, but before the tea was ready, the door was suddenly opened.

Lin Yong raised his head and looked at the visitor suspiciously: "Xiao Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Yang didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Old Lin, are you going to compete in place of Chairman Yang?"

Lin Yong was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Old Xu told you, right? This guy can't hide anything when he opens his mouth."

Jiang Yang sighed and said: "Your master, don't blame Mr. Xu, he also has good intentions. But I hear what you mean, is this thing true?"

Lin Yong yelled: "Do you a fart for me! If you are really doing it for me, you should hide it for me. This old boy, next time I see him, I must give him a good scolding."

After a pause, Lin Yong smiled wryly again: "I can't help it. Lao Yang is my friend, and he has to insist on going to the competition while lying on the hospital bed. I can't just watch my friend leave because of the competition."

When Jiang Yang heard the words, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Was Lin Yong right?

It's hard to say whether it's right or wrong to sacrifice yourself for the sake of your friends, it's just a little silly.

"Run here early in the morning to persuade me?" Lin Yong asked.

Jiang Yang nodded.

Lin Yong smiled, not surprised.

"Sit for a while, my tea will be ready immediately, let's talk while drinking." Lin Yong laughed.

Jiang Yang didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to listen to Lin Yong and sit down first.

"Do you know why we all like to drink tea?" Lin Yong asked with a smile.

Jiang Yang didn't like tea very much, so he didn't know, so he shook his head.

Lin Yong explained with a smile: "Actually, the reason is very simple. What I like is not drinking tea, but the process of making tea and drinking tea. Look at this tea, it is shriveled when it is taken out, but it is soaked in boiling water. , it stretches out and restores its previous appearance, and in the process, the tea leaves also incorporate its taste into the water. Watching the tea stretch, smelling the tea, and tasting the tea will calm down the mood. "

Jiang Yang nodded without expressing his opinion.

"Actually, we are the same as making tea. Tea is us, and water is the world. In this world, we stretch ourselves and leave our own traces to the world." Lin Yong said with a smile.

Jiang Yang was confused and didn't know what Lin Yong wanted to express.

Lin Yong smiled, he understood Jiang Yang's doubts, and continued: "I know the purpose of your coming, just to persuade me not to participate in this competition. Because after failing, I will bear the infamy and become a chef The sinner of the association, but I will most likely fail. You want to persuade me not to go, people have reached this age, and there is no need to fight for anything, besides, those kind and grudges have nothing to do with me. People should cherish when they are old To use one's own feathers, to become a respected senior in the eyes of others, instead of spending the last days with sinners bearing infamy, and even being scolded after death."

Jiang Yang opened his mouth wide in a daze, and Lin Yong finished everything he wanted to say.Although Jiang Yang didn't know how to speak like this and would be more tactful, the meaning was the same.

Lin Yong smiled and said: "I, or most of my life, why didn't I understand these principles? I really don't need to compete with Ren Pengcheng, because whether he wins or not, to me, to me In terms of ideals, it has no effect at all. I was the president of the Chefs Association of Sichuan Province who was about to step down. Over the years, where can it be easily collapsed, the most is to change the name to continue to exist, maybe my president will be reused by the new chef association. So, why do I have to compete with Ren Pengcheng? There is really no need .”

Jiang Yang nodded in agreement and said, "Old Lin, since you understand it yourself, then why don't you go."

Lin Yong shook his head and said: "No, no! I don't want to go, but I have to go. One is that as a member of the Chefs Association, I have the responsibility to stop the conspiracy of those who want to destroy the Chefs Association. Broken. Second, as a friend of Yang Kaizhong, I only need to bear some infamy for what he is desperately trying to do, so why not help him? Jiang Yang, think about it as your friend , if your friend is like this, will you help him?"

Jiang Yang fell silent. If Zhou Wei was like this, would he help him?Probably yes, no matter what others think of me, I will help.

At this time, Jiang Yang somewhat understood Lin Yong's approach.

Bearing infamy seems to be insignificant compared to the life of one's friends.

Maybe some people value reputation more than anything else, but Jiang Yang is not such a person, nor is Lin Yong.

If they could save their friends by sacrificing their so-called reputation, they would do it without hesitation.

But understanding is understanding, and Jiang Yang should persuade him.Just like Lin Yong was going to compete with Ren Pengcheng for the sake of Yang Kaizhong, and Jiang Yang had to do his best to stop him for the sake of the old man in front of him who was very kind to him.

"Old Lin, if someone has to go, I can go instead of you." Jiang Yang gritted his teeth and said this.

He found that all the arguments he had prepared were useless to Mr. Lin, and Jiang Yang couldn't refute what Mr. Lin gave.

Jiang Yang couldn't persuade Lin Lao not to go, but he could stop Lin Lao from going.This method is for Jiang Yang to go by himself.

There is no other way, it is impossible for no one to go, someone must go.It's just that this person can be Yang Kaizhong, Lin Yong, or Jiang Yang.

If Jiang Yang goes, the risk will be transferred to Jiang Yang.

Lin Yong disagreed and said: "No! You are still young, I am already old, and I don't have many years to live. It doesn't matter even if I bear the infamy. As for after I die, I don't know, so let him go. But you are different, You are still so young, you still have a long way to go, if you are burdened with infamy now, what will you do in the future?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yang laughed happily. He could feel that Lin Yong didn't want him to go from the bottom of his heart.

But because of this, Jiang Yang had to go.Just as Lin Yong can't just watch his friend die, Jiang Yang can't just watch Lin Yong bear the infamy that doesn't belong to him.

"Old Lin, I've already made up my mind." Jiang Yang said with a smile.

Lin Yong shook his head again and said, "No! If I say no, I won't. You don't need to say it."

Jiang Yang said: "Mr. Lin, it is much better for me to go than you. You are old and frail now, and cooking a dish seems to kill you. I am different. I am young and strong. Let alone a dish, it is Ten dishes are no problem. Besides, you will definitely lose if you go, but I may not necessarily lose if you go.”

Lin Yong scolded angrily: "Are you looking down on me, boy? How long have you been a master chef? Can your cooking skills be better than mine? I think you are just bloated."

Jiang Yang laughed: "Mr. Lin, how about this, we will know who is better at cooking by comparing. Since we are going to compete, of course the one with better cooking skills should go."

Lin Yong rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay! You don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, so I'll take care of you."

Lin Yong doesn't believe that Jiang Yang's culinary skills are better than his. Jiang Yang's talent is very high, but his time to become a culinary master is too short, and he, Lin Yong, has been in this state for decades at least.Although the culinary skills have been delayed due to the culinary school, it can't be as good as a rookie who has just entered the culinary master, right?
