Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Taking Advantage of the Opportunity
Zhuang Mingyan: "..."
She’s not just some random person!
Did Zhao Gushen forget that she’s the representative sent by the host of the International Cooking Competition?!
Basically, she calls the shots here!
Zhao Gushen might as well have said he’s not welcoming her today!
"Senior, aren’t you curious about why I came to find you today?" Zhuang Mingyan asked again.
Zhao Gushen glanced at her coldly: "Something going on?"
Previously, he was indeed quite perplexed why a representative from the host organization of the International Cooking Competition would show up so unceremoniously.
But now knowing the representative is Zhuang Mingyan.
Zhao Gushen didn’t find it strange anymore.
Zhuang Mingyan then handed Zhao Gushen a business card: "Senior, this is my business card."
Zhao Gushen took it, pinching it between his fingers.
He lowered his gaze to look at it: "You’re the representative for the host of the International Cooking Competition here?"
"Exactly," Zhuang Mingyan smiled, with a hint of pride.
"I’ve come this time to talk to you about the International Cooking Competition," Zhuang Mingyan said.
"I know that domestically, Changping is the leader, occupying more than half of Hua Country’s market," Zhuang Mingyan said, "Even for this international event, Changping surely wants to get as many spots as possible."
"Moreover, Changping Academy and various restaurants under Changping have many eligible chefs."
"So, I chose Changping first to discuss cooperation," Zhuang Mingyan said.
"Cooperation?" Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow.
Zhuang Mingyan said, "This matter hasn’t been officially notified by the International Chef Association, so the chef associations in each country are still unaware."
"As the representative for the Hua Country division, I convey the headquarters’ intentions, communicate with Hua Country’s chef association, and also manage various matters for Hua Country’s sub-division."
Zhuang Mingyan looked at Zhao Gushen: "Therefore, regarding the selection in Hua Country, including event hosting and progression, my words will carry significant weight."
As a representative sent by headquarters, the host of Hua Country’s sub-division must treat her with respect.
Zhuang Mingyan wields great influence.
Zhao Gushen thought, despite Zhuang Mingyan studying abroad, she hasn’t fallen behind at work.
How did she manage to infiltrate the International Chef Association?
Zhao Gushen didn’t ask Zhuang Mingyan directly.
Lest this thick-skinned woman assume he has a strong impression of her.
He decided to have Xiao Ruofeng conduct a thorough investigation later.
Rather than letting Zhuang Mingyan speak half-truths, it’s better to clarify it through investigation.
"I’ve come this time to inform you that the rules for this International Cooking Competition have been changed, different from previous years," Zhuang Mingyan said. "I told you first; no one else knows yet."
"Changping has received the first-hand news," Zhuang Mingyan said with some pride.
Zhao Gushen raised an eyebrow and said, "Previously, the organizers of the International Cooking Competition did issue an outline of new rules to various units, but the specifics weren’t released."
Zhuang Mingyan shook her head: "They’ve changed again."
"Changed again?" This time Zhao Gushen was genuinely puzzled.
Seeing him indeed confused, Zhuang Mingyan felt even more confident and smug.
"Yes, and the new rule details have been released," Zhuang Mingyan said, "If Changping can get this information, it’ll give them several advantages over others."
"I’m actually here to discuss specific matters with you, so you can prepare in advance," Zhuang Mingyan said.
"I didn’t expect it to be an unlucky arrival. Without an appointment, I couldn’t even meet you," Zhuang Mingyan saw Zhao Gushen seemingly interested in the matter.
Seeing the opportunity, Zhuang Mingyan capitalized on it, pushing her advantage forward.
Thinking that since Zhao Gushen is interested in this matter, he wouldn’t treat her so coldly like before.
Because she is of use to him!
Frankly, she has value to Zhao Gushen.
If Zhao Gushen wants the people from Changping to achieve good results, he needs to build a good relationship with her.
Given that, why should she hold back?
Of course, she should seize this opportunity to make Zhao Gushen yield and treat her better.
Let’s see if Zhao Gushen will still try to drive her away now?
She wants to have lunch with Zhao Gushen and make him leave Ye Fei to accompany her.
Of course, she can only use business as an excuse to have Zhao Gushen accompany her now.
But as long as Zhao Gushen cares about Changping’s interests, even if he doesn’t want to, he has to do it!
Later, she will find more opportunities to repeatedly summon Zhao Gushen under the guise of business.
Make Zhao Gushen leave Ye Fei to see her.
She doesn’t believe that even at first, Ye Fei has confidence in Zhao Gushen.
But with this happening over and over again, she doesn’t believe Ye Fei can still be so confident in Zhao Gushen.
If Zhao Gushen gets called out by her time and again, meeting her — a single, attractive woman who’s also scheming for Zhao Gushen.
Zhao Gushen knows her intentions toward him.
Ye Fei knows it too.
And Ye Fei is even more aware that Zhao Gushen, knowing this, still goes to meet her.
The thorn in Ye Fei’s heart will only grow larger and sharper.
At that point, can Ye Fei still trust Zhao Gushen?
If he knows her intentions and still meets her, from Zhuang Mingyan’s perspective, she certainly can’t accept it.
Ye Fei’s suspicions towards Zhao Gushen will deepen, as will the misunderstandings between them, and the rift will widen.
Whether it’s Ye Fei or Zhao Gushen, they’ll lose patience and become disappointed in each other.
Zhuang Mingyan has already planned it out.
Starting from lunchtime today.
Soon, she’ll take Zhao Gushen away from Ye Fei’s sight!
Even if Zhao Gushen is merely using her now, it doesn’t matter.
As long as she can keep Zhao Gushen by her side, it doesn’t matter how.
The result is most important.
Also, just thinking about Ye Fei being upset, distressed, sad, and in pain because of this brings her great satisfaction.
As long as she can make things uncomfortable for Ye Fei, she’ll be extremely happy.
Who asked Ye Fei to marry Zhao Gushen!
Such an unremarkable girl actually took someone else’s place.
Then she shouldn’t be surprised if others are focused on her.
Zhuang Mingyan wants to see how long Ye Fei can hold onto that position.
To occupy the position of Zhao Gushen’s wife, she has to have the strength to hold it!
Since she took someone else’s place, she must bear the pressure that comes with that position!
What Zhuang Mingyan hates the most now is because she studied abroad, not being in the country, allowing a little brat to snatch the position that was originally hers.
As Zhuang Mingyan and Zhao Gushen were talking, the elevator quickly reached the first floor.
Zhao Gushen and Zhuang Mingyan exited the elevator together.
Since it’s lunchtime, colleagues are all heading out for lunch.
So, at this moment, there are quite a few people.
Naturally, everyone saw Zhuang Mingyan walking alongside Zhao Gushen.
