Chapter 809 - 581: Chef Huang, You Toyed with Me and Abandoned Me, You Betrayed Your Promise…

Chapter 809: Chapter 581: Chef Huang, You Toyed with Me and Abandoned Me, You Betrayed Your Promise...

Meng Hong’s smile stretched from ear to ear, he nodded repeatedly and said with great joy, "Yes, being able to work with someone as outstanding as Chef Huang makes me feel extremely fortunate!"

Previously, if he had even a sliver of doubt or uncertainty about this job, then after witnessing Huang Jun’s precise and incisive criticism, and understanding that Huang Jun has the "Golden Tongue," most of his doubts vanished, and he believed that Huang Jun indeed had great skill.

Working with him, surely he can learn a thing or two.

Indeed.

In this world, with joy must come sorrow.

Right!

When Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang heard the news of their elimination, their faces instantly darkened, unable to conceal their inner sense of defeat.

They could barely accept losing to the highly skilled Zheng Yaohua, but to lose to the young Meng Hongze was completely unexpected...

They looked towards Huang Jun full of expectation, hoping that their faint past connection of having "once assisted him" would elicit some sympathy, and that he would speak kindly on their behalf to reverse this unfavorable situation.

Unfortunately!

Reality is always so cruel and heartless.

Huang Jun’s face was only filled with helplessness and apology, he couldn’t give them the answer they wanted.

Faced with this scene, Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang felt as if their hearts were mixed with complex emotions, indescribable.

Oh!

They said they would be able to work together upon applying, and casually teach them culinary skills, but you secretly hired someone else last minute...

Oh!

Chef Huang, you started but didn’t finish, you betrayed trust...

Finally, Yu Daqing summoned the courage, deciding to confront Liang Yinqiu and Huang Jun for a clear answer.

He took a deep breath and said, "Director Liang, Chef Huang, I understand that this competition was very fierce, and I respect your final decision. But I still want to ask, in which areas did I not perform well, resulting in my not being hired?"

Upon seeing Yu Daqing start speaking, Zhao Weiguang quickly nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, Chef Huang, Director Liang, I truly want to know the reason. I believe I put a lot of effort into the taste and color while making stuffed tofu, not inferior to Meng Hongze. Besides, I have more work experience than him, logically I should have more advantage..."

Meng Hongze: "..."

What the heck~

Zhao Weiguang, what do you mean?

Are you doubting my culinary skills?

Do you not know...

I happen to be called the "most talented young chef"...

If it weren’t for the presence of so many people around, he really wanted to argue with Zhao Weiguang right then.

But at the moment.

He could only suppress the anger in his heart.

After all, any argument now would only make him more embarrassed.

Yet, unable to bear it, he still gave Zhao Weiguang a cold and warning gaze saying "You may doubt my character, but not my culinary skills."

If looks could kill, Zhao Weiguang would have already been pierced thoroughly by this invisible blade countless times.

At the same time, Zheng Yaohua, upon hearing Zhao Weiguang’s words, unintentionally glanced at Meng Hongze’s face, which looked like he had swallowed a fly, and felt no emotion, even slightly amused.

But he knew now was not a time to smile openly, so he held back, only lightly smirking, while an imperceptible sense of pride quietly emerged in his heart.

This pride didn’t come from belittling others, but from confidence and pride in his own culinary skills.

Zhao Weiguang’s words, in a way, confirmed that Zheng Yaohua’s culinary skills had won everyone’s unanimous recognition.

His acceptance was a well-deserved honor!

At that moment, Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu exchanged a knowing glance.

Afterwards, Huang Jun broke the silence and said, "Chef Zhao, Chef Yu, in the earlier critique, we mentioned those shortcomings of yours which were the decisive factors for not being selected. Indeed, while Meng Hongze may not have as much work experience as you, the precision of his knife skills and the proficiency of his cooking techniques are on par with you. More importantly, he is the only one who can skillfully employ traditional brewing methods, which is very rare. Therefore, Meng Hongze was hired because he showed excellent performance in all aspects..."

Liang Yinqiu nodded in agreement, "Yes, we evaluated more than just work experience, but also many other abilities and qualities. Meng Hongze excelled in these areas, his culinary skills were impressive, so he stood out."

Upon hearing these words, the frustration in Meng Hongze’s heart seemed to find an outlet and dissipated.

He slightly raised his chin, with a hint of pride and relief in his eyes, looking at Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang: "See, the eyes of the people are clear, your doubts are ultimately futile."

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang had no mood at all to mind Meng Hongze’s pride at the moment, their thoughts still immersed in Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu’s words, even though unwilling, couldn’t find suitable words to refute.

But to leave silently like this, they were still not resigned...

God knows how much effort they put into this moment, how long they waited.

Countless days and nights of diligent practice, countless challenges and breakthroughs to oneself, all for proving their strength at this moment, hoping to be hired, to follow alongside Huang Jun in the future to learn more culinary skills.
