Chapter 1589: Failed registrationTranslator: 549690339
At the regular meeting on the second night, little Zhao spoke on behalf of the customer service team. After all, the customer service team had another role, which was to collect complaints and suggestions, then filter them out and discuss the important ones.
“First of all, I would like to say that we really don’t have enough customer service staff. I don’t know why, but since yesterday, the number of inquiries has increased by ten times.”
“Most importantly, these calls are all inquiries from foreign chefs. Our back-end has already helped to sign up 170 foreign chefs.” Little Zhao said,”most of the feedback is that they want us to open an English, Japanese, or other language registration website.””
On average, each customer service representative had signed up for at least 40 foreign chefs.
Wanli, Liao Yue, and Qin Kaili were a little confused. What was going on now? they didn’t promote their event overseas! What was the foreign chef doing here?
As soon as little Zhao finished speaking, the person from the statistics team said,””Our statistics team has also counted that more than 200 foreign chefs have successfully registered on the official website.”
Qin Kaili and Wanli looked at Liao Yue. Since Liao Yue was in charge of publicity, they had a clear division of labor.
“A few days ago, the southern Daily and Shanghai Morning Post reported on our event, but I haven’t heard of any foreign newspaper reporting on this. I haven’t contacted any foreign media either.” Liao Yue immediately said.
So what was the situation now? Everyone in the meeting room looked at each other.
In fact, Liao Yue and the others couldn’t be blamed for this. The matter was like this. The reason was that dashi xiujie accepted an interview with the Japanese television.
“I would like to ask you, Mr. Oishi, as the new two-star Michelin chef in our country, what are your plans for the future? do you want to try for a three-star Michelin chef?” The host asked.
“To be able to get the recognition of a two-star Michelin chef is my motivation and responsibility. However, to me, the most important thing is to be able to receive guidance from head chef Yuan.” Dashi xiujie said.
“Uh … If the news is correct, then …” The host stammered a little. He wanted to say, didn’t he fail to acknowledge her as his master? But even though it was the truth, saying it out loud was still too offensive.
“That’s right. I did fail to acknowledge him as my teacher. However, China has recently organized an event. The chairman of the judging panel is head chef Yuan. The first place will be able to receive guidance from head chef Yuan.” “I will definitely get the first place this time!” Dashi xiujie said firmly.
“No wonder you’re the most talented chef in our Yamato people. All the best, Ishi-san, I believe you’ll definitely get first place.” The host clapped for dashi xiujie’s decisiveness.
One must know that as a highly popular television station Japan, many people still watched this program.
Therefore, it instantly became popular in Japan. In addition to dashi xiujie, other Japanese chefs also signed up.
In Japan, Yuan Zhou was known as the Grandmaster of the Empire. He was very popular on the internet. There were even websites Japan that counted the chefs who had announced their names and even had a vote to decide who was most likely to win the first place.
The exchange of Chinese young chefs started from the Japan internet and spread to other countries, such as Thailand, Handan, Bhutan, and so on.
This was also the reason why Liao Yue didn’t know about it. It was because the news wasn’t revealed from China.
Originally, when the news spread, it would be out of shape. Plus, the words of dashi xiujie and the host were indeed a bit ambiguous. Therefore, after the news spread, it became like this in the mouth of the foreign chefs.
“Do you know head chef Yuan? He’s at the peak of the world’s individual chef exhibition. It’s said that there’s an event held in China, and the first place can be apprenticed to head chef Yuan. ”
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Dashi xiujie has already signed up.”
“Can chefs from Cambodia sign up too?”
“No problem, no problem. I’ve asked my Chinese friend to take a look. There’s no nationality requirement.”
“I heard that head chef Cheng has become so amazing under head chef Yuan’s guidance.”
That’s right. As the news spread, the reward for the first place became that the first place in the exchange meeting could be Yuan Zhou’s disciple.
Due to such a rumor, more and more people signed up. After all, Yuan Zhou was very popular now.
As the first chef in Asia and even the world who had held a personal cooking exhibition and received the highest satisfaction in history, and he was also officially promoted as the General Manager of the China chef’s Association, his appeal was naturally very high now.
Many chefs had come to the young chef’s exchange meet with the intention of trying their luck, and there were also many people who were determined to win this first time.
Among them, dashi xiujie was the leader.
However, dashi xiujie was told that the registration failed whether he registered on the official website or in person at the offline consultation office.
That’s right. Dashi xiujie had made sufficient preparations in the program and in private. However, he failed at the first stage of registration.
The reason was that dashi xiujie was already 40 years old this year and didn’t meet the youth standard set by the National Bureau of Statistics.
That’s right, he was 38 years old at the Sino-Japan Exchange meeting two years ago. There was nothing wrong with him being 40 years old now.
This time, dashi xiujie was dumbfounded. He stared at the official website for a long time but couldn’t think of a solution. He didn’t even touch a knife for two days in a row and didn’t practice cooking.
For dashi xiujie, who had been in the business for 20 years, this was the first time in his professional career that he hadn’t touched a knife for two days.
One could only imagine how serious this blow was.
On the morning of the third day, dashi xiujie received a phone call from a famous Thailand chef.
The famous Thailand chef was none other than the one who had snatched the invitation card of the family of the Thai Prince and came to attend Yuan Zhou’s personal cooking exhibition.
“Hello, Mr. Big stone.” The famous Thailand chef spoke in English with a calm voice.
“Hello, Mister sucha. What’s the matter?” Dashi xiujie didn’t have the mood to make small talk and asked straightforwardly.
Normally, dashi xiujie would have had a good chat with the famous Thailand chef sucha, because in terms of seniority, this famous Thai chef who was over 50 years old was higher than dashi xiujie. However, because of the registration, he didn’t have the mood to do so and could only maintain the basic etiquette and respect.
“This time, I’m here for the exchange meeting of young chefs organized by head chef Yuan. I think Mr. Oishi wants to participate in it, right?” Sucha didn’t care about dashi xiujie’s attitude.
At least sucha was born into a famous family in Thailand, and her basic recuperation was not bad.
“Oh? Do you have any good suggestions, Mister sucha?” Dashi xiujie’s eyes lit up and he asked with a more respectful tone.
“Of course, but I’ll need Mr. Oishi’s cooperation.” Sucha said.
“I can agree to Mister sucha’s request, but I have a condition.” Dashi xiujie said solemnly.
“Tell me.” Sucha said.
“Our actions can not harm head chef Yuan’s interests or affect the exchange meeting of young chefs.” Dashi xiujie said.
“Naturally.” “Yes,” su Cha agreed.”The person we’re looking for isn’t head chef Yuan, but the person in charge of China’s chef’s Association.”
