Chapter 890 - 760: Spur Him On

Xin Li was momentarily taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Chef Yao, did you say Fu Yu received an invitation? What kind of invitation?"

Yao Shi chuckled and said, "It’s for the Provincial Gourmet Association’s annual meeting. Don’t they usually hold a cooking video competition every year? Fu Yu participated this year, and he just received an invitation to the award ceremony, which means he’s definitely been selected!"

Xin Li understood and couldn’t help but smile, "Oh, that’s great news! When I see him, I must give him proper congratulations."

Yao Shi also smiled, "I’ll need you to help him apply later. Doesn’t our restaurant have a policy that participants in competitions who earn honors get a bonus? Xiaofu really made us proud, so we should give him a proper reward to help him celebrate!"

Xin Li promptly agreed, "Sure thing, no problem. I’ll submit the application to the boss later; it should get approved. I remember last time when Chef Zhao participated in the city chef competition, third place got 2000 yuan!"

Yao Shi felt relieved upon hearing this.

With Xin Li helping with the application, Dong Jun Tian certainly wouldn’t suppress the approval.

After all, presenting this to the finance office means it’s fully publicized.

At this time, some influential bosses, head chefs, and music restaurant staff in Bei’an had various reactions upon seeing this post.

For those not closely connected, they’d never heard of Fu Yu before, but if Yao Shi went out of his way to post about it, he must be an emerging top chef.

For those closely connected, they blinked in surprise, "Since when did this Yao Shi learn to show off?"

Liu Shaoxian looked at the invitation where Fu Yu’s name seemed highlighted with special effects, and despite his amazement, he felt some regret!

How come he hadn’t met such talent earlier?

If he could take Fu Yu on as a disciple, he would have something to brag about in the future, right?

Speaking of which, it’s Yunong who has a keen eye, selecting such an outstanding disciple, making others envious.

Luckily, he reacted quickly, already inviting Fu Yu to join the National Herbal Cuisine Research Association. Once all the application procedures are complete, he’ll at least be firmly connected with Fu Yu.

He felt that this kid’s future wouldn’t be limited to just this!

Since he saw the post by Yao Shi, he should at least make a gesture.

Liu Shaoxian, having only interacted with Yao Shi once, still formed a good impression of him, as a very successful businessman.

Regardless of his culinary skills, just his social skills showed he wasn’t simple.

Especially hearing that Fu Yu was personally discovered by him, brought from Qianlima to the music restaurant to make herbal cuisine, demonstrates his keen eye for talent and business acumen.

From the last interaction, it was evident that he was someone worth associating with.

After all, unscrupulous businessmen are rare, but with Yao Shi’s experience and shrewdness, being able to show a bit of sincerity in dealings is no easy feat.

So, Liu Shaoxian left a comment below: "Congratulations to Xiaofu, you’re outstanding too!"

Others did too, either liking or subtly complimenting.

Yao Shi saw the comments from Liu Shaoxian and others, and couldn’t help but smile broadly!

This was a testament to his personal ability. Look at his rapport and network; normally low-key, just one post reveals it all.

In moments like this, the likes and comments on posts, anyone involved can see others’ likes and comments.

Seeing some people he hadn’t yet made connections with now flocking to support his post, they’d definitely think more highly of Yao Shi.

For others, just a record or simple bragging, but for Yao Shi, it became a way to promote and consolidate his network.

Seeing several prominent people liking his post, Yao Shi couldn’t stop smiling.

Nice, while promoting, he also expanded his network.

Hahaha...

With a string of comments, seeing friends’ banter and jokes, and mutual acquaintances expressing envy and admiration, Yao Shi couldn’t put his phone down.

Replying to those needing responses one by one.

Leaving a message for the manager at the music restaurant, urging them to send photos to the print shop, and expand Fu Yu’s personal resume section in the promo page.

Finally, ensuring not to neglect anything, he left a general reply on his comment section: "Thanks for everyone’s attention, let’s definitely have a good gathering when we have time!"

After completing all the socialite tasks, Yao Shi put away his phone and walked outside with a smile.

Ren Yuchang stumbled upon Yao Shi’s post while discussing attending the Provincial City Traditional Medicine Annual Meeting with Li Zongming and two other chiefs.

They’ve been colleagues for years, with pretty good relations.

Once the list is finalized, Ren Yuchang would report it to the dean, and the matter would be settled.

Sending a message to the dean, he noticed a notification of the updated post in his timeline and casually tapped it.

Being busy with meetings and surgeries in the morning, he hadn’t caught up on updates, and opening it revealed numerous friend’s posts.

Scrolling mindlessly, he hadn’t planned on looking closely, but Yao Shi’s post, with its high likes and comments, caught his eye.

Not being in the same circle, they didn’t share many mutual friends.

What really drew Ren Yuchang’s attention was spotting Liu Shaoxian’s like.
