Roaming in the world of film and television

the next day.

Hengfeng Road, JA District, in the cafe diagonally opposite the rehabilitation hospital.

Gan Jing was wearing a milky white sweater and was sitting on a red sofa. Diagonally across from her was Xu Li in business attire, who seemed to have come directly from the studio.

"Xu Li, what happened yesterday... tell me honestly, why did Jiang Haokun come to you?"

Xu Li patted her palm lightly, trying to be as relaxed and natural as possible: "He came to see a doctor for me."

"See a doctor? What kind of disease does he see?"

"Insomnia."

"Insomnia?"

"Yes, insomnia." Xu Li picked up the coffee cup and took a sip: "He has been suffering from insomnia for a while. Think about it, Jiang Lai had such an argument with him because of Chen Fang's matter, it even went so far as to force the father and son to sever ties To the extent that Jiang Haokun lost his position as the president of the Jiang Group, as for you, he is not clear with Lu Yuan. He can say that the love scene is not going well, the career is not going well, the family is not harmonious, and there is a big problem at the Reef Restaurant. Things need to be taken care of, people with poor mental quality have already collapsed, it is really not easy for him to survive, and it is normal to suffer from insomnia."

Gan Jing didn't change his expression, and continued to ask: "Then why haven't you told me about his insomnia?"

Xu Li said: "He didn't let me talk about it. What can I do? You know, on the issue of insomnia, the relationship between me and him is firstly a doctor and a patient, and secondly a friend and acquaintance."

This statement is watertight, and I really can't find a place to refute it.

Gan Jing looked at her without blinking: "Xu Li, do you know that when you described his situation, there was light in your eyes."

"Gan Jing, look at what you said, the eyes of the dead are dull."

She tried her best to respond in a calm and slightly joking tone, but Gan Jing didn't like that.

"Xu Li, we are best friends, you can't lie to me about this matter. I remember when I told you about Jiang Haokun before, you were not interested at all, and you said he was boring and lived too depressingly , talking and doing things with a serious face, and don't know how to release your emotions, now? Do you still think so?"

Gan Jing noticed that Xu Li's right hand was placed on top of her left hand, and ten fingers were crossed from the back.

"Regarding this point, I admit that I used to judge people by their appearance." Xu Li changed the subject: "Gan Jing, you have something to say, we don't need so many twists and turns."

"I want to know if you and Jiang Haokun have..."

"No."

Xu Li didn't let her finish her sentence, and directly denied it.

Gan Jing was not surprised to get such a reply: "That's good, Xu Li, I hope you can persist like this in the days to come."

In fact, after saying the above sentence, Xu Li regretted it, no, strictly speaking, it was annoyed, because he didn't leave any retreat with her.

"Gan Jing, I really don't understand. Since you don't have enough determination to draw a clear line with Lu Yuan, why do you still miss Jiang Haokun? You two have already broken up, it doesn't matter anymore, do you know?"

"I know, but anyway, that person can't be you."

Xu Li knew what "that person" in her best friend's mouth represented, and she felt restless in her heart.

"Now I know why Jiang Haokun broke up with you, Gan Jing, you are too selfish. Why did Jiang Haokun test you at your birthday party? In fact, what he wants is for you to draw a line with the past, but what you think is If he loves you, he must tolerate everything about you, including Lu Yuan. You always ask him that you are good friends, and morally kidnap him to tolerate Lu Yuan's various behaviors, but think about it carefully, you and Lu Yuan have done it for him What?"

Gan Jing retorted: "Then let me ask you, can you completely forget your ex-husband?"

"I don't want to compete with you on this matter. Most of the time, the result of insisting on yourself is self-admiration, which is harmful to others and yourself. That's okay, let's leave it at that. I also made an appointment with the patient for psychological counseling, let's go first." Xu Li looked displeased, picked up the handbag on the coffee table, got up and left.

Gan Jing didn't go to see her off, and watched Xu Li walk out of the coffee shop without looking back, disappearing into the crowd outside the window.

She could hear the resentment inside and out of her best friend's words, but what was certain was that if there was a choice between her and Jiang Haokun, Xu Li would definitely choose her.

ding ding dong~

At this time, the phone rang.

Gan Jing picked up the phone and saw that it was Lu Yuan calling. After a little hesitation, she pressed the connect button and put it to her ear.

"Gan Jing, I'm out, I'm fine, don't worry."

"What did you come out?"

Gan Jing told him he was dumbfounded.

"Ah...ha...it's nothing, I called this time to tell you, don't forget to go to the Hotel Indigo on the Bund at 9:00 tomorrow morning, and see how I tortured Jiang Haokun all over the place."

"Hehe." Gan Jing laughed dryly, not saying anything more: "Got it."

"Okay, that's it."

Lu Yuan hung up the phone.

Gan Jing frowned and thought for a moment, took a sip of the coffee on the coffee table, got up, took his bag and left.

...

third day.

Game day for two head chefs at The Reef and Gray Whale.

The weather is very good, except that the temperature is a bit low, but this does not affect people's enthusiasm for watching the battle. Wearing a thicker coat and wearing long johns is basically no problem.

According to the announcement issued by the Gray Whale Restaurant, the two sides, based on the principle of fairness and justice, neither chose the Gray Whale Restaurant nor the Reef Restaurant as the venue for the competition, and finally chose the Indigo Hotel.

A lot of people came, and there was more than half an hour before the start of the game, and the seats below were full of guests watching the game.

One, because the conflict between Reef Restaurant and Gray Whale Restaurant has been fermenting for many days, there has been a fire from the opening of Reef Restaurant-'White Lover' was accused of copying the idea of ​​Gray Whale Restaurant-Boss Jiang issued a challenge-Grey Whale Restaurant pretends not to know-Grey Whale Restaurant The uncharacteristically high-profile challenge scene, after several repetitions, the conflict between the Reef Restaurant and the Gray Whale Restaurant continued to ferment on the Internet. Unlike those social incidents, few people remembered it in the past few days, and the more people who knew about it More, the larger the base, the people who come to the scene to see the style of the two chefs will naturally show a positive correlation.

Second, there are gifts for watching the game. In addition to some exquisite souvenirs, there are also discount coupons for the Reef Restaurant. Even if it is to have a cheap meal of high-quality Western food, you still have to come and cheer.

The competition venue was transformed from a venue, with rows of seats at the back and the arena in front, and a set of western kitchen utensils on the left and right. Several hotel staff were communicating with the chefs of the restaurants on both sides before the match to make sure they had No special requirements.

Lin Yue brought Xu Lan in from the outside and settled her in the middle row of seats. The old lady looked around the scene and saw Jiang Lai sitting in the front row wearing sunglasses with a complicated expression.

If you want to talk about why she is determined to divorce Jiang Zhihua, it is because she is sure that Jiang Haokun and Jiang Lai will never reconcile through the previous incidents. A daughter who can threaten her father with jumping off a building to choose sides, expects her to change her past? Is it possible?

And Jiang Zhihua expressed a compromise with practical actions, which also shattered her fantasy. Since the old guy is willing to give up his wife and son for his daughter, then she can also give up her husband and daughter for his son. Besides, Jiang Haokun has proved how good he is with practical actions . It is not difficult to answer the multiple-choice question whether to live with the son, or to see the unruly and willful daughter making trouble every day.

"Jiang Haokun."

A crisp female voice came from behind. Lin Yue turned around and found that it was Xu Li who had come. It was obvious that she had been specially dressed. She was wearing a knitted coat decorated with small red flowers and rose-colored lipstick. Going to be a few years younger, unlike when I was in the studio, I always wore a professional attire, with a bit of indifference.

"I called you just now and no one answered. I thought you weren't coming."

"Driving, I didn't hear it."

She really thought about not coming, and she struggled with this matter all night last night, and she actually lost sleep. This morning, she finally found a reason to convince herself that if she didn't come, wouldn't it be the same as sitting down and respecting her judgment? Prove that you have ideas for Jiang Haokun? So she not only came, but also dressed up specially to show that she was no different from the past.

"That's right..." Lin Yue said, "Come and sit down."

"Auntie, you're here too."

"You are...Xu Li, Hao Kun's psychiatrist, right?"

"That's right, it's me."

"Come, sit next to me." Xu Lan was very enthusiastic, because when Jiang Lai called the police and arrested Jiang Haokun, she was the one who reported the letter at home.

Xu Li sat down beside her generously, looked at Lin Yue and said, "Why don't you sit?"

He pointed ahead and said, "I have to go there."

"You? Going there?"

The place he was referring to was the playing field opposite the auditorium.

"That's right, because today I'm going to be Steven's assistant."

"Are you joking?"

Xu Li didn't think this joke was funny at all. Gan Jing said that Jiang Haokun majored in business administration in college, and he had nothing to do with cooking.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Lin Yue said seriously.

Just as Xu Li was about to speak, two people came in from the back door. Lu Yuan was in front with a smile on his face, and Gan Jing was behind.

The eyes of the two girlfriends met in mid-air, and then quickly staggered away.

Lu Yuan glared at Lin Yue sullenly, and took Gan Jing to the front to find a seat.

At this time, someone called Lu Yuan's name at the door, Xu Li turned her head again, and saw Peng Jiahe entrusting the old lady to the care of the thin man, and she walked to Gan Jing and sat down.

"That's Peng Jiahe's grandma, right?"

Lin Yue nodded: "That's right."

Xu Li looked at her jokingly: "Your wife too?"

"..."

Xu Lan looked at the two of them curiously, not understanding what Xu Li meant.

"It's really you who fools an old man with Alzheimer's disease."

"I'm doing this for her own good."

"I think you are just trying to take advantage of Lu Yuan."

"That's right."

When the two were talking, Dang Qian walked up to Lin Yue from the front and whispered something in her ear.

He nodded, told Xu Lan and Xu Li that the match was about to start, and asked them to watch the match with peace of mind, then turned and walked to the arena.

At this time, Lu Yuan and Cai Mingjun walked under the lens of the camera under the leadership of Gray Whale restaurant manager Feng Yufang.

There was a lot of discussion before, and the noisy auditorium suddenly fell silent. Several young people who had just arrived hurriedly found vacant seats and sat down, using hand gestures instead of voice communication.

A female staff member in professional attire walked into the arena, glanced at the post-it note in her hand and said.

"Thank you for coming to Hotel Indigo to participate in the culinary challenge of Mr. Lu Yuan, chef of Gray Whale Restaurant, and Mr. Steven, chef of Reef Restaurant. It can also be regarded as a witness for them. Now the staff from both parties have arrived. If there is any extra words Let’s stop talking, let’s get started.”

At this point, she paused, and began to introduce the audience: "Standing on my left is Mr. Lu Yuan, the head chef of the Gray Whale restaurant."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled, and waved to the audience.

"The young man next to him is his apprentice and assistant, Cai Mingjun."

Cai Mingjun was much more cautious, his body was tense, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a smile that didn't look like a smile.

The hostess continued: "Standing on my right is the head chef of the Reef Restaurant, Mr. Steven, and over there is his assistant, Mr. Jiang Haokun, the owner of the Reef Restaurant."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, because no one thought that the owner of the reef restaurant would come on stage to serve as Steven's assistant, not to mention his knife and cooking skills, even if he was passable, what if he lost the challenge? Isn't it embarrassing to stand on stage? embarrassing? This guy... what do you think?

It can be seen that Gan Jing was very surprised by such a setting. He opened his small mouth, looked at Peng Jiahe who cursed Jiang Haokun in a low voice, and then looked diagonally at Xu Li, who was already mentally prepared, and kept rubbing his hands on his knees Pants, I don't know who she is nervous about.

After helping both sides of the competition, the hostess changed the subject and said, "Okay, now invite the guests and judges of this challenge."

With her arm moving backwards, three people walked out through the small door on the side of the venue.

The leader is a middle-aged man wearing a jacket, trousers and black leather shoes; the one behind is more flamboyant, wearing a casual suit with a plaid pattern, a white handkerchief for decoration in his chest pocket, and his hair is waxed. A "cong" character; the person at the back is a girl, not very old, only twenty-four or five years old, wearing jeans and a sweater, just like an ordinary college student.

The hostess introduced: "The person walking in the front is Director Liu Qiqiliu of our District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the gentleman in the middle is Yang Zhesen, a famous food blogger, and the person walking in the back is from Shanghai University Welcome, Miss Meng Hualing."

Wow~

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Judging from the composition of the guests, there are leaders from the competent department, bloggers who travel around the country to taste food from all over the country, and students from colleges and universities. It can be considered that the judging team is diversified, and a relatively fair judgment should be given later.

The three guests brushed their faces in front of the audience, then walked to the guest seats at the back and sat down.

The hostess said again: "Let's not say anything extra, now enter the competition."

"Wait." To everyone's surprise, Lu Yuan suddenly took a step forward, looked at Steven and said, "Since it's a competition, how can there be no prizes?"

Steven said, "Then what prize do you want?"

Lu Yuan said: "I remember Jiang Haokun gave you a set of knives made by Bob Kemal. If I win this game, it will be mine."

Steven asked back, "What if you lose?"

"Don't worry, I won't lose." Lu Yuan clapped the knife in his hand confidently: "If I really lose, this is for you."

Same crocodile sheath, same Damascus steel knife, same Bob Kemal signature, only different blade pattern.

Lin Yue looked at Jiang Lai, who was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, and said, "If I'm not wrong, this is what Jiang Lai gave you, right? Trading something from a woman for another can only explain one problem." , this woman is a piece of shit in your heart."

"..."

Lu Yuan's face was very ugly, he didn't expect Jiang Haokun to know about this.

When Jiang Lai delivered the knife, there were only the two of them in the back kitchen. He didn't say anything, and it was impossible for Jiang Lai to tell Jiang Haokun. Then how did this matter get out?

There was chatter in the auditorium.

Everyone was curious and excited. They didn't expect the owner of Reef Restaurant to be so ruthless, and he was full of gunpowder when he opened his mouth.

The culinary challenge competition between the Reef Restaurant and the Gray Whale Restaurant was very popular on the Internet. Some people who knew about the Jiang family’s situation came to the scene with the idea of ​​watching the rich people have fun. After one lecture, some people understood.

Boss Jiang didn't mean to be drunk, he was clearly mocking Lu Yuan, but he was actually disgusting Jiang Lai.

He kindly gave Chef Lu a knife, but he was taken to the arena as a prize, tsk tsk, this treatment, this unfolding, is really ridiculous.

At this moment, the heroine's face was flushed with anger, but she couldn't say anything, because she forcibly gave this set of knives to Lu Yuan as an apology. A media reporter made an appointment with the Gray Whale restaurant, and from the results, she caused Lu Yuan a lot of trouble." Lu Yuan refused to accept it at first, but she insisted on accepting it because she insisted on accepting it, and Lu Yuan agreed only after being annoyed. accept.

In short, this set of knives is meaningful to her, but to Lu Yuan, there is nothing special except that it is easy to use.

Xu Lan, who was sitting in the back row, was indignant. She made it very clear on the opening day of the Jiaoshi restaurant that Jiang Lai would not be allowed to get close to that gangster. As a result, her daughter not only refused to listen, but even put her hot face on his cold ass. There was a big oolong in front of many people, it's shameful, it's too shameful.

Although she has verbally severed her mother-daughter relationship with her daughter and is contacting a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement with Jiang Zhihua, but outsiders don't know, those familiar faces at the scene may be talking about her behind her back.

First, father and son turned against each other, brother and sister became enemies, and now the majestic Jiang family's eldest lady went to lick a cook's ass, what the hell is this Jiang family?

In fact, this is also Lin Yue's idea. In the TV series, Jiang Haokun licks Gan Jing, Jiang Lai licks Lu Yuan, and rich people in love are all dizzy and selfless licking dogs.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had nothing to say, he changed the subject and patted Steven's knife on the table: "Okay, we'll accept this bet."

When the hostess heard this, she was afraid that there would be another fierce confrontation between the two, which would spoil the atmosphere of the venue, so she hurriedly announced with a smile: "Okay, now the competition begins. The first test is the two chefs' control over the heat, and Wellington Steak is a dish that can test the chef's skills the most, and now we invite two chefs to show us their superb cooking skills."

Wow~

There was a burst of applause below.

Lin Yue glanced at Feng Yufang who was sitting next to Jiang Lai, and thought that the content of the first round of the game could not be separated from this guy.

The last time Steven was squeezed out by Lu Yuan because he couldn't cook Wellington Steak, this time he came up to cook this dish, the purpose is very simple - to win the head start and destroy Steven's confidence.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that Steven is no longer the former Steven, and he doesn't even know that there is a huge gap between tactical shrewdness and strategic foresight.

Lu Yuan rushed to Steven and said "Don't cry when you lose", and took Cai Mingjun to work.

Here, Liu Hong and the others also brought ingredients such as filet mignon and mushroom sauce to the cooking table.

The Cooking Challenge has officially begun!

Lin Yue shook his head and muttered something, cooking challenge? In fact, this is a wisdom challenge.
