stadium.

"After a fierce competition and review, the first round of the 7th Folk God of Chef Competition has been shortlisted." Liu Hua used a high-pitched and passionate tone to calm the audience, and then continued: "They are: Master Li Shenghui, Master Gu Shangsheng, Master Zhou Kai, Master Zhu Zhiguo, Master Chen Ruyun, Master Liao Changming, Master Jiang Hua and...."

At this point, Liu Hua's voice was paused, attracting attention from the audience. After all, he could only advance to eight players in the first round, and now there is only one last place left.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone held their breath, especially the remaining thirty chefs who were still hoping in the field, and even raised their hearts to their throats.

Liu Hua didn't want to have poor sentences at this time. Although this method is very attractive, he eliminated more than 600 contestants at one time in the first round. This is a very cruel thing and it is not suitable to use this little trick at all.

In this case, you should cut the mess quickly!

However, it was not Liu Hua's original intention that this situation was caused. It was just that he could withdraw from more than 600 elite chefs, so he could naturally be considered a master in the chef world, so he used the title of "master".

In previous competitions, those who can afford this title are all older people. After all, it is difficult for the chef industry to improve by talent.

To put it bluntly, even if Wang Xing of the Dashi Dynasty and Luo Feng of Wangjiang Pavilion can participate in the competition, it will be difficult to get out of the first round, because the two stages of the first round seem simple, but in fact they require years of experience to accumulate success.

However, now, this common sense has been broken!

"The last player to advance is Chen Chong, who is only in his early twenties... Master!" Liu Hua was still a little unbelievable when he said this. After all, Chen Chong is too young, and he is one or two years younger than the average age of the other seven players divided by two!

He is definitely the youngest "master" in the history of the God of Chef Competition!

"Chen Chong? Why does this name sound so familiar?"

"Nonsense, it's the champion of the team competition!"

"Aren't the champion three people?"

"If you continue to pay attention to that game, you will know how important the role Master Chen Chong plays in his team. It is no exaggeration to say that if Master Chen Chong is not from Master Chen Chong, it would be impossible to reach the finals and win the championship!"

"It turns out that he is only in his early twenties! It's really unbelievable. He might have cooked food when he was pregnant."

"Your problem is a bit tricky."

"The three words of food street...ah, it's a pity..."

"What a pity? With Master Chen Chong's current strength and fame, he is fully capable of coming out of the food street, and not being influenced by the news of the food street, and establishing his own business! I will definitely support you when the time comes!"

"Well... makes sense. The reputation of the food street is too bad now, which completely limits the development of Master Chen Chong."

…

Listening to the sounds around, the people in the food street who were originally excited immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at each other and saw the sadness in each other's eyes.

It is said that even though they know that Chen Chong is a good person, they still dare not pat their chest to ensure that the latter will choose to go solo. If they reach the worst step, will the food street still exist?

"Don't think too much. Look, Chen Chong is out. Let's go too. Find a place to have a tea and chat. He has a second round of competition in the afternoon." Li Xiang forced a smile and took the lead in leaving.

The others didn't say much and followed silently.

...

In the exit channel, most of the contestants left as early as the end of the game. They probably knew that there was no possibility of promotion, so they were unwilling to continue waiting.

Chen Chong entered the passage and there were about a dozen chefs who came out with him. These chefs were all over thirty years old, but the eyes they looked at him were full of respect.

Some people even went up to chat with each other, and the meaning of winning over the words was quite obvious.

"Thank you." Chen Chong smiled and said thank you, not leaving a phone call or saying more, his meaning was very clear.

Seeing this, although the others were disappointed, they were not dissatisfied. Thinking from the perspective of others, if they had the strength of Chen Chong, they would either set up their own business or join the first-class food area in Longjiang, such as Dashi Dai, Wangjiang Pavilion, Zhulin Tea Garden, etc.

Like stars holding the moon, surrounded by various media and contestants, Chen Chong walked to the entrance of the gymnasium. Before he could find the location of Li Xiang and others, he saw a familiar face standing not far away.

He was wearing a black suit and sunglasses, and his refined beard made his cheeks look angular. A pair of black leather shoes shine in the sun.

This person is nothing else, but Zhao Xiaokang from the Food City.

"Do you have time to talk?" Zhao Xiaokang smiled, unable to see any tit-for-tat meaning at all, just like an old friend I haven't seen for a long time.

Before Chen Chong could speak, the people around him guessed Zhao Xiaokang's purpose, so they said goodbye to Chen Chong one after another.

Although they did not know Zhao Xiaokang, the latter's dress and the aloofness in their hearts were very similar to the representatives of a consortium or a senior figure in a food area. If such people come forward to win over, they could not compete with him at all.

No chance!

Chen Chong looked at Zhao Xiaokang, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth. He looked at Li Xiang and other guys in his heart, while passing by Zhao Xiaokang on his own, without any intention of talking.

In his heart, Zhao Xiaokang was completely a sinister villain, especially the previous despicable means and the shocking "framework" designed by Jincheng, which made him feel even more ashamed of.

If it weren't for the day and there were some people surveillance, Chen Chong would have wanted to directly press Zhao Xiaokang to the ground to rub... Oh no, press him to the ground and beat him to understand the consequences of provoking him.

Zhao Xiaokang was not angry, turned his head slightly and smiled: "Do you want to stay in the food street all your life? With your strength, you have more choices."

Chen Chong ignored him and continued to move forward.

Zhao Xiaokang's eyes were slightly condensed under his sunglasses. Seeing Chen Chong go further and further, he didn't care about Yun Danfeng Qing's appearance before and followed quickly.

"You should consider your future," he said.

"My future is pretty good, you don't need to worry." Chen Chong stopped and said indifferently: "Please stay away from me and don't follow me like a follower."

"Haha, you are the first person to dare to talk to me like this after so many years." Zhao Xiaokang was unmoved, "But I am not angry because you are too young and don't understand the sins of this world."

Chen Chong sneered, and couldn't hear that the other party was warning him, but the problem was that he was not even afraid of the murder demon, would he be afraid of Zhao Xiaokang?

Maybe this is a sign of arrogance, but he has the capital.

"I have seen many sinister things in this world, but you may not see the real sinister things." Chen Chong said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaokang frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that what Chen Chong said was "sincere" and what he said was "sincere". As for what he meant, it is unknown. He could not ask stupidly, who asked first and who lost first.

"We don't need to say that there are any of them." Zhao Xiaokang cleaned his collars, saw that there were no one around, and went straight to the point, saying, "To be honest, I think you can join the Food City. If you have any conditions, you can just speak."

"Not interested." Chen Chong didn't even blink.

Zhao Xiaokang was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected the former's attitude to be so decisive.

"Chen Chong, you should understand that the strength and potential of the food street are not on the same level as the food city. If you operate there, no matter how good the cooking skills are, there will be a limit. As a chef, don't you want more people to taste the skills?"

"In no mood."

"..." Zhao Xiaokang's eyes twitched. It was the first time he had seen such a guy who was so ignorant of the current affairs!

Wait, it seems that it was repeated somewhere...

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "I remember when I was as old as you, I was very arrogant and often did things regardless of the consequences, but what was the result? It was often the one who suffered losses. Maybe you have feelings for the food street, but if the food street no longer exists, what's the point?"

"With me here, the food street will rise." Chen Chong said firmly.

"You? Are you based on cooking skills?" Zhao Xiaokang smiled and shook his head, "You are still too young. Some things cannot be solved by a chef, just like...now."

Hearing this, Chen Chong raised his eyelids lightly and understood the meaning of the words, "Are you saying that you caused the injury accident in the food street?"

"Hmm?" Zhao Xiaokang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Don't blame me, I'm just a businessman, and since I'm a businessman, I will naturally use the means of a businessman."

Chen Chong stared at Zhao Xiaokang, but under the obstruction of sunglasses, he could only roughly see the outline of his eyes, and could not see the light in his eyes, and he could not tell the truth or falsehood of this sentence.

Frankly speaking, when the food street injustice occurred, he did not suspect Zhao Xiaokang. After all, at that time, not only the food street was affected, but even the food city was the same.

But when the second injury incident occurred, his view was shaken, so this question was asked.

However, Zhao Xiaokang is too cunning, giving people a sensible and confusing feeling, both like being involved in this matter and like being outside the matter, with no trace at all.

"Actually, there is no grudge between me and you. The previous events were just targeting the food street." Zhao Xiaokang continued without any haste: "If you have a good relationship with the restaurant owner of the food street, you can also call the food city together. I promise that you will never favor one or the other. People always have to go to a higher level."

The scorching sun was raging above the two people's heads, and more and more people were in the square, and the temperature was getting higher.

…

"Are you finished speaking?" Chen Chong reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, murmured: "This day, it's so hot."

What?

Seeing this, Zhao Xiaokang's hands in his pocket subconsciously clenched his fists. After a long time of trouble, the other party didn't take his words seriously!

"Boy, I have given you enough face. Don't be too arrogant!" The veins on his neck swelled, "Don't think that winning a championship in the team competition can change the fate of the food street. I am not afraid to tell you that I, Zhao Xiaokang, will definitely win the food street! By then, you will not even have the chance to regret it!"

"Then thank you for letting me know!" Chen Chong shrugged indifferently. His appearance of not getting into the salt can make people angry.

"Hahaha..." Zhao Xiaokang sneered, "You have a habit. When I take down the food street, I will definitely tear your broken restaurant in front of you!"

After the words came to an end, Zhao Xiaokang was too lazy to stay for a long time, so he turned around and left.

The reason why he came to win over Chen Chong was that in addition to the latter's superb cooking skills, he mainly pulled out the Dinghai Sword Needle of the Food Street, so that Li Jianbang would never have the possibility of turning around.

Although the current situation has caused the food street to fall to the bottom, as long as the perpetrator is caught, this broken place can still turn over with Chen Chong's reputation. By then, it will be really troublesome!

Therefore, from his perspective, this is the best time to win over Chen Chong! No matter how high the price is!

However, what he never expected was that before the chips in his heart were thrown out, he was turned away and was completely disgraced.

"You will definitely regret it if you don't know the current situation." Zhao Xiaokang roared in his heart, took out his cell phone, found a phone called 'jc' in the address book, and then called.

‘Sorry, the phone number you called is turned off.’

"Hmm?" He hung up the phone, looked carefully at the phone number, and after confirming that there was no error, he called again, and the result was the same as before, and all prompted to turn off the phone.

"Is he? Zhang Peng can't contact him, and Jincheng can't contact him either!" Zhao Xiaokang took off his glasses and exposed his extremely gloomy eyes.

Zhang Peng is his right-hand man and knows many of his secrets. Such silent disappearance is really hard to sleep or eat.

Jincheng was an undercover agent who had been placed by Li Jianbang a long time ago, with the purpose of penetrating the board of directors of Li Group and indirectly affecting shareholders' investment resolutions in the food street.
