The layout of the venue this time was completely different from the previous individual cooking exhibition. In the large banquet hall, there was only one stage set up in the front.

The green chefs a.s.sociations logo was pasted on the edge of the stage, as well as the warning sign of the a.s.sociation. There were also many small objects that represented the ident.i.ty of the organizer of this meeting. These were all arranged by Qin Kaili and the others.

In the middle of the stage was a microphone and a podium. The entire banquet hall was filled with chairs, and the back of the chairs was plastered with names. Now, it was already filled with people.

These people were naturally the young chefs of the green chefs a.s.sociation who had come from all over the country. Each of them was wearing a snow-white chefs uniform, and even the hats on their heads were meticulously worn.

There were tall and short, fat and thin, handsome and not so handsome, but all of them were looking forward solemnly.

Im a little nervous now that I can see head chef Yuan with my own eyes. A few chefs in the front row turned their heads and said to the people beside them nervously.

You should call me President. Im a little nervous too.

Quick, show me if the brim of my hat is wet. I feel like my forehead is covered in sweat. Chengdu is just too hot. The chef who said this came from Wuhan, one of the three great furnaces.

Lets not talk about this anymore. I just want to know what President Yuan is going to say this time. At this moment, someone spoke.

What did he say? Someone asked,

Of course its to take in disciples? President Yuan only has one disciple. That j.a.panese guy from before still wants to be my apprentice, dont even think about it, someone said expectantly.

The chefs discussed in a low voice. There were all kinds of opinions. However, the words of this group of young chefs showed that they were very respectful to Yuan Zhou.

At the back of the banquet hall were the media reporters invited by the Qing chef society. They aimed their cameras at the entire banquet hall, and of course, most of them were focused on the podium.

Actually, some of these reporters were invited by the green Chef society themselves, while many of them applied to come on their own initiative after hearing that it was Yuan Zhous inauguration speech.

However, out of caution, the Qing chef society still carefully screened them before sending out invitations to these reporters.

Moreover, they had also stated in advance that Yuan Zhou still wouldnt accept any individual interviews this time. Even so, there were still a lot of media that came.

It was Yuan Zhous fault for being the number one chef in the country and also receiving a lot of praise from the officials abroad.

When the hour hand reached 10 O clock, Yuan Zhou stepped onto the stage on time and then walked to the podium with empty hands.

Thats right. Yuan Zhou had memorized all the plans he had written, including the content of the inauguration speech.

As soon as Yuan Zhou went on the stage, the murmuring discussion below quieted down instantly. Without the special guidance of anyone, the entire banquet hall became so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard.

h.e.l.lo, everyone. Im yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhous opening remarks were simple and direct.

The people sitting below also responded with a sentence,h.e.l.lo, President Yuan.

Thank you, everyone, for coming all the way here to listen to my inauguration speech. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked her again.

The atmosphere below was still enthusiastic, saying things like youre welcome, its not hard,theyre very willing to come and watch,and so on.

Yuan Zhou didnt start talking until the answer was over.

Yuan Zhous clear voice was transmitted to everyones ears through the microphone as he delivered the inauguration speech seriously.

However, the speech was only about 1000 words in total. Therefore, Yuan Zhou finished the speech very quickly.

After saying that, Zhou s.h.i.+jie, who had already prepared for the speech, Liao Yue, the Vice-President of the a.s.sociation of green chefs, and Secretary Qin Kaili, who was holding the tray, handed the doc.u.ments to Yuan Zhou on the stage.

The doc.u.ment was personally handed to Yuan Zhou by Zhou s.h.i.+jie. It was both solemn and in line with Yuan Zhous ident.i.ty.

In fact, the doc.u.ment should be handed to Yuan Zhou by the former chairman of the green chefs a.s.sociation. However, that persons reputation in the cooking circle was not even as good as Yuan Zhous disciple, master Cheng. Naturally, he didnt dare to do this.

That was why Zhou s.h.i.+jie, the chairman of the China chefs a.s.sociation, was asked to hand over the doc.u.ments.

Now, I announce that Mr. Yuan Zhou has officially become the chairman of the young chefs Alliance. Zhou s.h.i.+jie announced loudly to the audience.

Pa, pa, pa, pa, thunderous applause and continuous flash lights at the end of the banquet hall immediately rang out. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, took the doc.u.ment and nodded to everyone.

After the applause lasted for a minute, Yuan Zhou raised his hand and pressed it down,I would like to take this opportunity to announce a plan.

As soon as they heard that Yuan Zhou had something to announce, the young chefs below immediately perked up their ears and began to listen carefully.

Furthermore, they couldnt help but feel excited. The current goal of these young chefs was to hope that Yuan Zhou could accept them as his apprentices. After all, the matter of a famous foreign chef acknowledging Yuan Zhou as his master in public last time had given them a sense of crisis.

With such a secretive thought, everyone looked at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou was quite used to such a gaze.

To be honest, although there were many people here, their gazes were not as lethal as Wu Hai s, who had not eaten his fill.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didnt care about that at all. He said straightforwardly,I want to hold a young chefs exchange meeting, so that I can know everyones current cooking level, and then I can put forward suggestions to improve together.

Yuan Zhou said that quite seriously while his eyes swept over everyone.

Everyone who was caught by Yuan Zhous gaze puffed out their chests and looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.

Of course, they didnt want to improve together. It was already their big goal to see Yuan Zhous tail light.

The only requirement for this exchange is that the partic.i.p.ants must not be older than 34 years old. After all, the National Bureau of Statistics defined the age of youths as 11 to 34 years old. Yuan Zhou said humorously at the end.

The young chefs gave him face and laughed.

I started this event and will be the main judge. At the same time, I will invite the other three judges to join. Yuan Zhou talked about the exchange activity of the young chefs in an orderly manner.

The reward for the top three chefs will be announced on the official website of the green Chef society. Youll know when you go back and see it. When Yuan Zhou mentioned the official website of the green Chef society, he looked at the Vice-President Liao Yue and said.

The green Chef society will work hard to do well in the first activity after Chairman Yuan takes office. Liao Yue immediately stood up and expressed his position.

Zhou s.h.i.+jie also stood up and said,Our head chefs Alliance will also help. President Yuan, you can look for me directly if you need anything.

Thank you, Vice President Liao. Thank you, Chairman Zhou. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked her.

Zhou s.h.i.+jies favoritism for Yuan Zhou had already been shown on the surface, but no one had any objection to it. After all, in the cooking world, one had to rely on his culinary skills to speak. And it just so happened that Yuan Zhous culinary skills were really very good.

Then, this speech will end here. While saying that, Yuan Zhou nodded to the people below the stage and then turned around and walked to the backstage.

At that time, Liao Yue and Qin Kaili split into two groups. On one side, Liao Yue went on the stage and continued to talk about the details of the young chefs exchange activity, while on the other side, Qin Kaili caught up with Yuan Zhou and said while walking half a step behind him,President Yuan, this is the webpage of the exchange activity that Ive organized. Do you want to take a look at it now?

Sure. Without saying anything, Yuan Zhou took the tablet handed to him by Qin Kaili and started reading.

From time to time, Qin Kelly would look at Yuan Zhous expression while he was flipping through the pages. From time to time, she would also pay attention to whether there were any reporters surrounding her. She could be said to be quite busy.

Actually, it wasnt that Qin Kelly wanted Yuan Zhou to check the time at this time. It was just that Qin Kelly had already figured out Yuan Zhous working and sleeping schedule during the past few days.

According to Qin Kailis own calculation, if she wanted to not disturb Yuan Zhous cooking practice, she had to take advantage of every opportunity to complete some tasks.

That was why she did this.
