While Shi Jinbin set off, Chen Wei also contacted several junior brothers of that year.

After contacting, Chen Wei realized that two of the seven junior brothers who had left Su Ji together had passed away.

Chen Wei, who learned the news, could not calm down the sadness in his heart for a long time.

After a long time, he got up and walked into the bathroom in the hotel room, looking at the mirror in the bathroom for a long time.

Chen Wei suddenly realized that he was already an old man. If it weren't for the better maintenance over the years, Chen Wei was actually 70 years old.

Looking back at that time, when I was in my early thirties, I went to Su Ji to become a disciple in order to learn from the chef.

Everything seems to be yesterday.

I realized in a trance that forty years had passed.

Clenched his fists, Chen Wei faced himself in the mirror at this moment and suddenly realized that he used voluntary behavior to disguise himself over the years, but in fact he was always thinking about that little junior sister in his heart.

Perhaps this time, the chef-compared will be the last time he has gone to stand out for his junior sister.

But no matter what the final result is, Chen Wei still hopes that in the future, he can be with his wife.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei walked out of the hotel bathroom, grabbed the cell phone on the table, and called.

"Hey, hello, I'm Chen Wei, can we have a chat? Yes, it's only two of us, okay, I can wait. Tonight, yes, I will go there to wait for you that night."

Just as I hung up the phone, the doorbell in Chen Wei's room rang.

Chen Wei quickly rushed into the bathroom, rinsed his image, and then opened the door in a unrestrained manner.

Open the door, and Su Lanxin's secretary stood outside the door.

"Xiaomei, is there anything wrong?"

The secretary looked inside the door. Chen Wei, who was older than Mr. Su, was dressed in a voluptuous manner. Especially when he smelled the smell of the cologne water on the other party, the secretary couldn't help but frown slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, the secretary said: "Mr. Su asked me to inform you to go to a meeting and talk about Chinese cuisine - Suzhou cuisine cooking competition."

Chen Wei nodded: "Well, okay, I understand. You go back first, I'll go later."

The secretary naturally didn't talk much nonsense, so he turned around and left the door.

Chen Wei closed the door, turned around and opened the box he brought back, took out the set of chef clothes that had been with him for many years from inside, and after changing them very seriously, he went out to the hotel to arrange a conference room for Su Lanxin.

When I came to the conference room, in addition to Su Lanxin, Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli were also there, and there were also people from the provincial and municipal catering associations.

The moment Chen Wei entered the door, everyone was so awe-inspiring when they saw his meticulous chef outfit.

Especially Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli, when they saw Chen Wei's outfit, they knew that Chen Wei was serious at this moment.

After Chen Wei sat down, everyone began to discuss the specific details.

According to the results discussed by Zhuang Daozhong and the Catering Association, this cooking competition is mainly composed of classic dishes from Suzhou Province. The general competition system is divided into auditions, preliminary competitions, and the quarterfinals will be decided first, and then the finals will be held all the way to the finals.

As one of the organizers, the catering association gave the opinion: "The auditions and preliminary competitions are held in various parts of the province at the same time, and preliminary selections are carried out. In the end, each city selects eight people and then the rematch is held.

The rematch was held interspersed in each city, with the special dishes selected by each place as the competition point.

After the quarterfinals are decided, the quarterfinals will be held in Fujinglou, Huaicheng. The quarterfinals will be held in Sucheng, and the finals will be held in Jinling."

After hearing this, Su Lanxin frowned slightly and asked, "In other words, if we host this competition, will only be in Fujinglou in the quarterfinals?"

Everyone from the Catering Association looked at each other. The vice chairman of the Provincial Catering Association this time said: "That's right. After all, this is a cooking competition in our province, and the purpose is to select dishes that represent our province, so we must not just be in Huaicheng."

The Huaicheng Catering Association also spoke: "Yes, Mr. Su, I hope you can understand. Moreover, we will definitely support Huaicheng's auditions and preliminary rounds, as well as the quarterfinals in the future."

Su Lanxin was silent for a moment, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, after all, it is a major event in our provincial cooking arts industry, and our group will definitely support it."

When the people from the catering association heard that Su Lanxin was willing to support her, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Lanxin then asked: "However, in terms of choosing dishes, how should we finally select them?"

The vice chairman of the catering association explained: "This is firstly selected by catering associations from all over the country, mainly based on the most representative dishes in various places and the most recognized dishes in various places, and then some screening will be carried out."

Su Lanxin continued to ask: "How many dishes will be on the menu of 'Chinese cuisine' in the end?"

The person present at the catering association shook his head: "We cannot be sure of this, and Mr. Zhuang will need to discuss it with the National Catering and Cooking Federation in the future."

Su Lanxin felt a little complicated when she heard it. When Chen Wei saw her frowning slightly, he whispered a reminder.

"This is national and represents the essence of our entire Chinese cooking skills, and it is not allowed to be sloppy."

After hearing Chen Wei's reminder, Su Lanxin also understood and said to everyone in the catering association: "Okay, our group will cooperate with the power. If you have any needs, you can contact my secretary and we will do our best to do it."

After receiving Su Lanxin's reply, everyone in the Catering Association was really satisfied.

Such a big event not only requires support from the government, but also requires support from all walks of life.

Especially for multinational catering groups like Su Lanxin, who are willing to provide support in terms of funds and cooking skills, they will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The following conversations and specific details will be relatively easy to talk about.

Regarding the specific details of cooking skills, Chen Wei also stood up at the right time, gave some professional opinions, and expressed some ideas of their group. The conversation between the two parties was very smooth.

After the meeting ended, Su Lanxin naturally wanted to receive people from the catering association.

But Chen Wei did not participate. He changed his clothes and left the hotel.

Su Lanxin was very dissatisfied when she learned the news, but she did not show too much.

Chen Wei rushed to the old street where Su Ji was almost nine o'clock in the evening. This time he did not enter the old street, nor did he go to Su Ji, but waited quietly at the intersection.

Looking at the bustling crowds on the old street at night, Chen Wei seemed to have returned to that day in a trance.

In that era when Su Ji was famous and many people would come to Su Ji to taste the dishes, Chen Wei and his junior brothers followed their master and cooked dishes of extremely high standards in the culinary arts industry in that small restaurant with only ten tables.

In today's era, many people may find it incredible.

Why don’t a chef with such strength go to those famous restaurants? Why don’t you go to big cities to develop?

But in fact, it is precisely because Su Ji did not have any troubles back then that he could stick to the consistent taste.

Chen Wei waited about 9:30 and saw Feng Yifan walking towards him from the old street.

After the two met, they didn't know what to say at the first time. The two fell into silence at the intersection of the street, and always felt that this way of meeting was a bit strange.

In the end, Feng Yifan spoke first: "Uncle, why don't we find a place to sit?"

Chen Wei came to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a place to sit down and chat."

Because Chen Wei didn't want to go to Su Ji, the last two of them sat down outside the old street on the leisure bench beside the green belt on the roadside. There was a spacious road in front of them, and vehicles would pass by the road from time to time.

After another silence, Feng Yifan said first: "Uncle, are you looking for me to compete with you in the kitchen?"

Chen Wei looked at the traffic on the road in front of him, and was silent for a while before speaking: "I really envy you."

Unexpectedly, Chen Wei said this, Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment and asked, "I envy me, who is also Su Ji's son-in-law, because I have no brother-in-law to grab the old plaque, can I inherit Su Ji openly?"

After asking this question, Chen Wei was stopped.

After a while, Chen Wei finally recovered and then raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, your answer is really amazing."

Feng Yifan also laughed.

After laughing, Chen Wei was also very frank: "Although I don't want to admit this, I can only admit that I really envy you. No one snatched you from Su Ji."

Feng Yifan then asked: "So, my uncle also feels that my father-in-law is not qualified to inherit Su Ji?"

Chen Wei was asked again, and suddenly there was a kind of conversation that was turned against Feng Yifan, and he seemed to be completely led by the nose.

In order to turn the situation around, Chen Wei said: "It is a lie to say that it is not jealous, but I don't think that your father-in-law is not qualified to inherit Su Ji. He is also the most qualified in terms of blood ties."

Feng Yifan asked directly: "It seems that you are still very dissatisfied with uncle. I think my father-in-law has taken the opportunity?"

Once again, Chen Wei was asked directly to himself, and he really wanted to get angry and flip the table.

Can you still have a good chat?

But these problems cannot be avoided.

Over the years, Chen Wei has been avoiding this problem. Even though he succeeded, he worked hard abroad with Su Lanxin and established a multinational catering group, he also believed that he had succeeded.

But the more successful Chen Wei was, the more he was worried about Bichu back then, and the more he thought that the inheritance of the old plaque was unfair.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei said helplessly: "You are right, I really feel dissatisfied."

Feng Yifan continued to say: "You and your aunt have achieved great success, but the more successful you are, the more you are dissatisfied with the competition that year, and you feel that you are more qualified to inherit Su Ji."

Chen Wei nodded: "Yes, that's true. Maybe your aunt will be even more serious and will be almost paranoid."

Feng Yifan responded: "In fact, it can be seen that my aunt should have fallen into a kind of paranoidness. In fact, the old plaque of Su Ji has long lost its practical significance to you, but she just can't let go of the knot of the past."

Chen Wei suddenly said with a serious look on his face: "So, I hope you can do your best this time."

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle, you came here just to tell me this? Do you think I would not give my all? You don't think I will let you do it, right?"

Chen Wei continued, "Actually, I came here to hope you can forgive your aunt."

Feng Yifan didn't say anything and stared at Chen Wei quietly.

The latter naturally said: "Your aunt has been a poor person over the years. She keeps doing a lot of things and uses all kinds of busyness to make herself live a fulfilling life, but in fact she has anxiety and has long-term insomnia."

After pausing, Chen Wei said solemnly: "She has actually suffered from mental illness."

Feng Yifan heard this and asked, "So, uncle, what you mean is, I hope we can forgive her, including forgive some of the things she did to my father-in-law when she came back, right?"
