Chapter 906 You're Really Something, Kid

Fu Yu was overjoyed and sent a screenshot of the news to his parents.

Getting on the news is an honorable thing and worth showing off.

Just as he sent the message, an electronic notification beeped in his ear:

[Ding! NPC godfather Zhao Meng’s long-term chain mission: Complete all set goals, surpass Che Yuhang, and break all his achievements one by one. Mission (5) Join a national research association, mission complete, reward: RMB +100, Che Yuhang’s personal skill: Cooking (Intermediate).]

Fu Yu was stunned for a whole minute without reacting!

What the…

He hadn’t done anything, so how did he suddenly complete a task?

Join a national research association?

Except for when Liu Shaoxian had mentioned they were planning to invite him to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association as a consultant, he hadn’t connected with any other national research associations?

What on earth happened?

How did he suddenly become a member of a national research association?

He had originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the provincial city for the award ceremony to meet with the members of the inspection team with Liu Shaoxian, but he hadn’t been able to make it.

He couldn’t even go, yet he smoothly joined the association. It must have been Liu Shaoxian who helped!

After a little thought, Fu Yu understood.

It should be because he won an award in the video cooking competition held by the Provincial Gourmet Association, so Liu Shaoxian took this opportunity to help him apply for membership.

Now that the membership matter was settled, he suddenly received the task completion notification.

Because Liu Shaoxian was not in front of him, it was a sudden decision, so he hadn’t received the task beforehand.

Thinking about it this way, it all made sense.

Fu Yu felt very grateful, pondering if he should call Liu Shaoxian to express his thanks.

But just as the thought emerged, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t just make this call; after all, realistically, he shouldn’t know about this yet.

However, he had previously agreed with Liu Shaoxian to meet him at the annual meeting in the provincial city, but he hadn’t gone, so he should take the initiative to explain to Liu Shaoxian.

Thinking of this, Fu Yu laughed, just right, he could use the explanation as an opportunity to contact Liu Shaoxian.

Helping him apply for membership was a good deed, as Liu Shaoxian would probably casually inform him of the matter, allowing him to formally express his gratitude.

Fu Yu found Liu Shaoxian’s number and called.

Just as he dialed, Liu Shaoxian immediately connected.

Fu Yu explained that something came up temporarily on his end and he couldn’t make it to the annual meeting, to which Liu Shaoxian merely chuckled and said, “Good job, Xiaofu! I’ve already seen the news about your achievements, you did the right thing! I’ve already inquired on your behalf, and the awards will be mailed to you.”

Fu Yu hadn’t thought of that, and quickly thanked him.

Liu Shaoxian laughed heartily, “Your competition video was just too brilliant. After watching it, I actually wanted to have a good exchange with you.”

Fu Yu politely said, “Sure, I actually have a lot of questions I want to ask you.”

Liu Shaoxian laughed upon hearing this and said, “Xiaofu, there’s something I need to tell you. Didn’t I submit a request to our vice-chairman for inviting you to join the research association? Just now, our inspection team conducted a vote and your membership was unanimously approved!”

“Congratulations on officially joining our research association!”

Even though Fu Yu already knew about this, he acted surprised, “Really? That’s great! Thank you, Teacher Liu! I’m so grateful!”

Liu Shaoxian said, “Ah, no need to be so polite. By the way, our vice-chairman has already notified the research association, and a membership notice will be mailed directly to you.”

Fu Yu gratefully said, “That’s fantastic! I’m really surprised and happy. Teacher Liu, when are you coming to Bei’an again? I’ll treat you to a meal!”

Liu Shaoxian said happily, “I was actually just about to contact you, Xiaofu. Can you come over to the provincial city tomorrow morning? Here’s the thing, our inspection team has a flight back tomorrow morning, and I want to introduce you to the members before we leave. Our vice-chairman will also be there, so it’s a good time to exchange experiences in herbal cuisine, and you can properly introduce yourself.”

“After all, once we return, who knows when there will be another chance to come over here. You’re quite busy with work now, and visiting the headquarters isn’t easy. I just thought to take this opportunity to have everyone meet you.”

“You wouldn’t know, but the inspection team already saw today’s news, and everyone is full of praise for you!”

Fu Yu got the hint.

Liu Shaoxian was planning to strike while the iron is hot, as his accomplishments were just reported in the news, taking advantage of the inspection team’s good impression of him, it was a good time to meet them and get familiar.

Joining the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association means networking with extraordinary people, any relationship formed could be significantly helpful in the future.

Moreover, from what Liu Shaoxian implied, it was precisely due to the award ceremony today, seeing his cooking video, and then hearing about his news that led to a vote.

Achieving such a great outcome owes much to Liu Shaoxian.

After all, the implication from Liu Shaoxian’s words was clear. He had already submitted the application for Fu Yu’s membership, but the research association had never approved it.
