Shanhai Developer

Xia Yunxiao was invited to sit at the main table, and at the same table were Living King, Bald Zhang, Guan Zhiyuan and others.

Bai Ze squatted on the cabinet behind Xia Yunxiao.

As the head chef, Jiang Ziwen does not participate in the banquet, but he needs to congratulate the old birthday star before the banquet.

After finishing the speech, the old people praised him one after another.

young and promising.

The future is boundless.

Excellent cooking skills...

When talking about these, Jiang Ziwen's smile is quite natural.

Later, I don't know who mentioned it, "Remember to invite us old diners when you get married."

Someone made a start, and everyone's attention shifted to Jiang Ziwen and his fiancé. Discussions took place, and they probably all said good things about their match.

Although it was a good word, it sounded harsh to Jiang Ziwen at this moment.He couldn't maintain his smile anymore, and excused himself that he needed to be the chef for the dishes, so he took his leave first.

When they met for the first time, Xia Yunxiao was very impressed by Jiang Ziwen's flamboyance.

Even if Jiang Ziwen deliberately concealed it at this moment, Xia Yunxiao could tell from his expression: there is something wrong.

He immediately asked Bai Ze in his mind, 【Is something really wrong? ! 】

Bai Ze licked his hair calmly, 【He heard some news from other people, but there is no conclusive evidence to prove that his fiancé cheated, so he is still trying to convince himself of this relationship.In addition, after the taste of heaven is on the star, the scumbag should have a showdown. 】

Bai Zeyuan couldn't say the word "scumbag", but after listening to Xia Yunxiao getting used to it, he accepted it.

Xia Yunxiao felt disgusted, 【The scumbag also deserves a star? 】

Bai Ze replied decisively: [Not worthy. 】

[Do you know when the Michelin-approved team will go to Tianzhi? 】

[6:00 tomorrow night. 】

【Time is very tight.I have to figure it out quickly. 】Xia Yunxiao pondered for a moment, 【Can you see when the scumbag and Xiao San met last time? 】

[Tonight at 8:00, Abil Hotel. 】

hotel?

Xia Yunxiao smiled in a good mood, "The Scumbag's Big Boss Plan" is freshly released.

Having made up his mind, he put all his energy on the delicious food on the table.

When he was studying in the past, he seldom ate outside school because of his poverty.Although he had a rich second-generation buddy during college, he had strong self-esteem and was unwilling to eat and drink, so he went out very rarely for fun.

In my memory, only my buddies would invite a large number of classmates to go to high-end restaurants every time they celebrate their birthdays.

He will go too.

At that time, he felt that the person who can cook exquisite dishes is not a chef at all, but an artist!

At this moment, eating the birthday banquet carefully prepared by Jiang Ziwen, he had this feeling in his heart.

The same bamboo shoots, in his hands, can only be cold bamboo shoots, bamboo shoots sliced ​​meat, bamboo shoots and crucian carp soup; when it comes to Jiang Ziwen, he can turn out a hundred kinds of tricks, and everything is complete in color, fragrance, shape and utensils.

It was rare for Xia Yunxiao to be full.

Huang Guohuai and other old people reminisced about the past, but he couldn't get in the conversation, so he simply told Huang Guohuai that he wanted to visit the chef.

Huang Guohuai got up and planned to take him to the kitchen himself.

Xia Yunxiao declined, "You are the birthday star, you have to accompany the guests, I can find the kitchen."

Huang Guohuai didn't force it, "That's fine, just treat this as your own home."

Xia Yunxiao left the table, and walked into the kitchen with Bai Ze.

There were four people inside, all wearing white chef uniforms, three of them were busy, and Jiang Ziwen was facing him, leaning on the door frame leading to the garden, looking up at the sky outside the glass door.

The three chefs nodded politely when they saw Xia Yunxiao, and continued to collect kitchen utensils.

Xia Yunxiao smiled back, and led Bai Ze towards Jiang Ziwen, "Mr. Jiang, long time no see."

Jiang Ziwen came back to his senses, "Mr. Xia, have you finished eating so soon?"

"The food is so delicious, I was overwhelmed by the wind, and I was full by accident."

Xia Yunxiao patted his stomach, and the bulge could be clearly seen from under the clothes.

No matter at any time, being praised by diners for his cooking skills always brings comfort to the chef.

Jiang Ziwen was no exception, he smiled, "The main thing is that Mr. Xia's ingredients are good."

"Good food requires good craftsmanship and good creativity." Xia Yunxiao made a gesture, "Can you take a step to talk?"

"of course can."

The two walked to the hallway outside the kitchen.

Xia Yunxiao looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

Jiang Ziwen had a puzzled expression, "If you have anything to say, Mr. Xia might as well just say it."

Xia Yunxiao said bluntly, "What I say next, you may find it unbelievable, and you may even wonder if I have ulterior motives. But I can guarantee that every word I said is true."

Jiang Ziwen vaguely thought of something, was silent for a moment, and said, "Please tell me."

……

The lobby of the Albier Hotel.

Jiang Ziwen was wearing sunglasses, sitting in an inconspicuous corner, watching the service desk quietly.

His fiancé is Bai Hongyu, the illegitimate son of the head of Bai's catering business, and he has two sons and a daughter born in the royal family.

When Bai Hongyu was young, he was not accepted by his family and suffered a lot of bullying and stares.

When he became an adult, his father gave him a sum of money, not much, only 100 million, and asked him to compete with the three sons and daughters of his wife to create his own catering brand.

Bai Hongyu doesn't have much talent in cooking.

He is different from his older brothers and sisters. He has limited funds, only enough to pay the rent, and cannot hire famous chefs.

After the restaurants of his brother and sister opened one after another, his restaurant is still just an unrenovated shop.

At that time, Jiang Ziwen was still an apprentice under the master, and met Bai Hongyu because of a party organized by a friend.

Jiang Ziwen has an outstanding appearance and good cooking skills. Bai Hongyu naturally noticed him and asked for his contact information.

The two slowly approached.

At that time, Bai Hongyu was really kind to him, and he was always there when he was called.

He knew Bai Hongyu's situation and his ideal, so he said goodbye to his master and decided to help Bai Hongyu create a catering brand.

The restaurant is open.

At the beginning, the business was very difficult. Jiang Ziwen had to do everything by himself, including purchasing, cooking, serving dishes, and sweeping the hall.

Bai Hongyu also spends every day in the restaurant, helping out.

Jiang Ziwen is good at cooking, creative, and has a good attitude towards making small profits but quick turnover.

Gradually, word-of-mouth was established, regular customers increased, and staff began to be recruited. The restaurant was on the right track and gained some fame in the whole Panda City.

In the past two months, the restaurants of the three brothers and sisters have been left behind.

The restaurant is booming, Bai Hongyu can speak in front of his father, get more resources, and participate in the management of the family business.

However, I don't know when, Bai Hongyu came to the restaurant less frequently, stayed for a shorter time, and changed his attitude.

More often, it's like coming to inspect as a boss.

Jiang Ziwen became one of those inspected.

These are just one aspect.

On the other hand, he and Bai Hongyu met less frequently.

During the few times we meet each other in a month, Bai Hongyu always checks his bracelet frequently, goes to the bathroom, and looks out the window.

Jiang Ziwen was aware of these problems, but he always felt that it was because of the competition from other brothers and sisters in the family that put too much pressure on Bai Hongyu and distracted him.

But yesterday, the deputy told him secretly that he saw Bai Hongyu going in and out of the mall with a woman, behaving intimately.

He didn't believe it, but the news was like a thorn in his heart, and even brought out other doubts hidden in his heart.

He fell asleep.

But he was still telling himself to trust Bai Hongyu.

But today at Mr. Huang's house, the general manager of Shanhai Manor also told him that Bai Hongyu had cheated.

He even said that if he didn't believe it, he could go to the Abier Hotel to see what happened before 8:00 pm.

Jiang Ziwen's first reaction was that Xia Yunxiao deliberately poached someone?

Or maybe Bai Hongyu's brother and sister bought off the deputy and Xia Yunxiao?

is it possible?

The deputy has been with him for five full years, and his character is absolutely trustworthy.

Xia Yunxiao, although he doesn't have much contact with him, he can feel that he is very clean, and he doesn't know how to use, and doesn't bother to use any dirty methods.As for why he was able to tell the exact time and place, maybe as Huang Lao said, he is not an ordinary person.

If both the deputy and Xia Yunxiao are trustworthy, then what they said...

After leaving Huang Lao's residence, Jiang Ziwen sent a text message to Bai Hongyu, 【Come over for dinner tonight? 】

He always asks Bai Hongyu to have dinner once a week.

In the past, when he invited, Bai Hongyu would return in seconds.

From half a year ago, Bai Hongyu would sometimes refuse.

As for today, about 10 minutes later, Bai Hongyu replied.

[I want to have dinner with my father in the evening, I will come over after eating.I heard that the jury has arrived in Chili Province, and they may go to Tianzhi tomorrow. No matter what, I will accompany you tonight. 】

Jiang Ziwen looked at this sentence, replied "OK", then drove the sports car back to the taste of heaven, and then took a taxi to the Abier Hotel.

He has been at the hotel since five o'clock in the afternoon.

I don't know what kind of mood I am sitting here at this moment.

Every minute and every second is extremely tormented.

The old-fashioned wall clock behind the desk ticks to 8:00.

At this time, an extremely familiar figure came in from the main entrance. It was Bai Hongyu, carrying a handbag.

Behind him was a pretty woman, Zheng Meishao, the daughter of a real estate developer in Chili Province, and the Abier Hotel was one of the assets under her name.

The two entered the lobby one after the other without even going through the check-in procedures. They held hands and took the elevator upstairs, without any concealment or avoidance of suspicion, as if they were an upright couple—the Abier Hotel is not in Jiang Ziwen's daily activity area Inside, they don't need to avoid suspicion.

It is not difficult to imagine what will happen to the two of them in the room next.

What the deputy said was true.

What Xia Yunxiao said was also true.

Bai Hongyu cheated.

Jiang Ziwen stood up slowly, and walked out with heavy steps.

The hotel waiter saw that he was not in the right condition, and kindly asked if he needed help.

Jiang Ziwen barely maintained his demeanor, said thank you, and walked out of the hotel.

It was completely dark.

He looked up at the dark night sky.

Suddenly I feel that the efforts of the past five years are like a joke.

What's even more ridiculous is that Zheng Meishao was introduced to Bai Hongyu by him, just to help his poor and white fiancé establish contacts and seek resources.

He was deceived, betrayed.

Since you don't love, why bother to pretend?

Let the matter spread out, he will not be entangled, and will leave consciously.

But why use this method to betray his sincerity?

Perhaps, as Xia Yunxiao said, it was just to squeeze out the last bit of value from him.

The smell of heaven, he couldn't stay any longer.

In the future, where will we go?

He felt at a loss like never before.

However, at this moment, the bracelet rang, and he looked down, it was Xia Yunxiao...

10:00 PM, inside the hotel.

Bai Hongyu walked out of the bathroom, took out clean clothes from his handbag and changed into them.

Zheng Meishao lay sideways on the bed, and said angrily: "It's all ready for a showdown, why are you so careful?"

Bai Hongyu bowed his head and kissed her, "He has a very good nose, and he can smell a little bit of perfume. The judging panel is coming tomorrow, so there must be nothing wrong."

Zheng Meishao snorted coldly, "It's just a cook."

Bai Hongyu comforted and said: "According to the current situation, it should not be a problem to win the Michelin star, maybe it will be a two-star. At that time, you will be the hostess of the Michelin two-star restaurant brand, and we can open branches in all our own hotels. For our In the future, bear with me, okay?"

Zheng Meishao did not speak.

At first, she was not satisfied with Bai Hongyu's wealth and background.

But Bai Hongyu's mouth is too sweet, and his skills in bed are also good. In addition, the restaurant she runs is on fire, and she has taken over part of the Bai family's affairs, so she reluctantly accepted Bai Hongyu's pursuit.

If Tian Zhiwei succeeds in becoming a star, it will indeed be of great benefit to her.

Thinking about it this way, let's hold on, anyway, there are only a few days left.

Bai Hongyu changed his clothes, kissed the woman's shoulder again, and left happily.

After stepping on the spaceship, he sent a message to Jiang Ziwen.

[After having dinner with my father, I will rush over here and wait for me. 】

Messages uncharacteristically went unanswered.

Bai Hongyu didn't take this detail to heart, and drove the spaceship to Jiang Ziwen's apartment.

When the door is opened, the sensor light will automatically turn on.

I looked around, no one was in the house.

Dial Jiang Ziwen's communication number, prompting that the other party has shut down.

strangeness.

He called Jiang Ziwen's deputy.

The deputy's name is Wu Li, who was trained and promoted by Jiang Ziwen, and he can be regarded as half of his apprentice.

Ever since I accidentally found out that Bai Hongyu was dating a woman that day, I looked down on Bai Hongyu from the bottom of my heart.However, Bai Hongyu is the boss of Tianzhiwei, so it is impossible not to answer the phone.

As soon as the call was connected, Bai Hongyu asked, "Where is Jiang Ziwen?"

Wu Li thought it was ridiculous, and stabbed: [After Huang Lao's birthday banquet today, the chef separated from us.Mr. Bai, you are the chef's fiancé, you don't even know, how do I know? 】

Wu Li's tone made Bai Hongyu very upset, but now is not the time to worry about these things.

Jiang Ziwen is the key for him to get the Michelin tickets. At this juncture, nothing can go wrong no matter what!

He felt very uneasy, and called other employees of the restaurant next to each other, asking about Jiang Ziwen's whereabouts, but the answer he got was that he didn't know.

I went to Tianzhiwei, physical fruit and vegetable stores, physical tableware stores and other places where Jiang Ziwen might go, but found no one.

The feeling of uneasiness is getting stronger and stronger.

Bai Hongyu searched all night, but found nothing.

The first ray of sunlight emerged in the morning, and the sky was already bright.

Bai Hongyu checked the bracelet subconsciously, but there was no reply from Jiang Ziwen, but Zheng Meishao sent him a lot of messages, complaining that Jiang Ziwen was a monster, and asking if others found it.

Bai Hongyu rubbed his face tiredly and irritably, replied that he hadn't, and then went to Tianzhiwei.

According to the past rules, Jiang Ziwen would go to the restaurant every morning.

But today, the employees came one after another, but Jiang Ziwen was the only one missing.

The employees were leaderless, looking at the restless Bai Hongyu, it was inevitable that they would discuss in a low voice.

Since the restaurant opened, it has almost become Jiang Ziwen's second home. He shows up at 08:30 every morning, but today, it's already ten o'clock, and he hasn't come yet.

No one knows where he is yet.

Reminiscent of Mr. Bai calling someone in the middle of the night yesterday...

So these two are fighting, right?

Bai Hongyu waited at the door for a long while, and when he turned around and saw that everyone was idle, he scolded, "What are you doing standing there? What time is it? Are you still working? Don't you have lunch at noon?"

The chef and waiter looked embarrassed.

Seeing that they didn't move, Bai Hongyu became even more angry, "What's your attitude?"

Wu Li came out of the transparent kitchen, took off the apron, threw it on the table, and said in a sharp tone, "The ingredients haven't been delivered yet, how can I prepare them?"

Bai Hongyu frowned, "Aren't the ingredients delivered at seven o'clock every morning?"

Wu Li laughed twice, "The chef is responsible for ordering all the special ingredients used in the past two months. The chef is missing, where did the ingredients come from?"

Bai Hongyu's body became cold in an instant.

Yes, Jiang Ziwen bought all the ingredients for Tianzhiwei.

After getting acquainted with Zheng Meishao, he deliberately collected the purchasing channels of ingredients.

So far, most of the channels have been obtained, but Jiang Ziwen did not tell him about the source of this special-grade ingredient, saying that he signed an agreement with the boss.

At that time, he only thought that there was still time anyway, so he could get out slowly, who knew that Jiang Ziwen would suddenly disappear.

Premium ingredients simply cannot be replaced by any other ingredients.

How to deal with the diners who come here without special ingredients?

How to deal with the Michelin jury?

How to get a star?

There was nothing he could do!

The restaurant was eerily quiet.

At the moment of extreme anxiety, the lobby manager suddenly called out in surprise, "Chef!"

Everyone looked at the door.

Jiang Ziwen is here!

Jiang Ziwen was wearing casual attire, with sunglasses pinned to his head, his hands in his trouser pockets, and he was in a good state of mind.

The chef and waiter found the backbone in an instant.

Bai Hongyu, on the other hand, forcibly suppressed the violence and anger surging in his heart, and quickly walked in front of him.

"What's the matter? I lost contact all night. I didn't buy the ingredients on time. Didn't I remind you yesterday that the Michelin inspection team will come today?"

Jiang Ziwen looked at him with a cold expression.

Bai Hongyu was startled by Jiang Ziwen's eyes, and quickly realized that his attitude was wrong. This is not the time to pursue responsibility, but to appease him.

So he said again: "Forget it, it's all over, don't mention it, let's buy ingredients quickly."

Jiang Ziwen smiled indifferently and didn't respond. He just passed him and looked at the dozens of employees behind him.

"Starting today, I will leave Tianzhiwei, who is willing to follow me?"
