Chapter 892 761: Honors Money Can't Buy

After Yao Shi left, everyone in the kitchen started preparing lunch.

Before the meal was ready, except for the chef who was cooking the staff meal, everyone else found a place to rest.

Sun Mingze gathered with a few of his classmates, squeezed into a corner of the kitchen.

It was a rare leisure time after a day's work for these interns.

The other chefs were all taking their own breaks, and no one paid attention to what these interns were doing.

After sitting down, Sun Mingze couldn't help but open his photo album and admire Fu Yu's invitation.

The other three people were chatting when they saw Sun Mingze fiddling with his phone, the person sitting next to him tilted his head over: "Mingze, what are you looking at, so focused?"

Sun Mingze smiled: "I just took a picture of Chef Fu's invitation, and I have to say, it's really fancy, even the pattern on it is unique."

The male classmate who was assigned to intern at Gu Yunwu's side couldn't help but say: "Chef Fu? Oh, you mean Brother Fu, come on, just call him Brother, he graduated from our school too, calling him Chef Fu sounds so distant, we should try to get closer to them!"

Another male classmate overheard and nodded: "Yeah, let me tell you, in our kitchen, those who can be called chefs are at the level of Chef Zhao and Chef Gu. Like Brother Fu, Brother Sun, Brother Yao, they're just cooking chefs, especially Brother Sun, I heard he hasn't even been confirmed yet! Just call them Brother, that's enough."

Sun Mingze heard this and couldn't help but smile: "I just think it shows respect calling him Chef Fu, and he's really impressive, if I could achieve what he has in the future, I'd be overjoyed!"

His words left everyone stunned!

What did he mean?

The male classmate who spoke earlier couldn't help but sneer: "Really, Mingze? Do you have to act like this? Just for a little task, you keep flattering Brother Fu? Wanting to improve is good, but you don't have to kneel and lick like this, come on, you won't gain anything by sucking up to him, if you really want to learn cooking, you have to find a way to get close to Chef Zhao, he's the real big shot!"

Sun Mingze was mocked but didn't get angry.

The four of them were assigned to intern in Qianlima kitchen; everyone else was just doing chopping work, except him, because he followed Fu Yu, so he had the chance to actually do the cooking.

Even though others didn't say it, they surely felt uneasy inside.

They were all interns, why did he get better treatment?

They must think it's because he's good at flattering and to see how he acts all admiring and respectful towards Fu Yu every day, it must irk the others.

At their age, most of them are a bit rebellious, haven't seen the world outside, and have simple personalities.

Sometimes what they think inside naturally shows on their faces.

Sun Mingze shook his head: "Do you know where this invitation came from for Chef Fu?"

Everyone shook their heads, looking confused: "Where?"

Sun Mingze raised his phone and showed it to them: "It's sent by the Provincial Gourmet Association, inviting Chef Fu to the provincial city to attend the award ceremony for the culinary video competition!"

Everyone passed the phone around, and their faces no longer held smiles.

Sun Mingze continued: "I thought Chef Fu just participated in a culinary video competition organized by the Provincial Gourmet Association, but it's not, turns out he had already joined the Provincial Gourmet Association a long time ago, as a legitimate member."

These words made the other three widen their eyes in disbelief!

The male classmate who mocked Sun Mingze earlier felt his breath become a bit rushed.

Fu Yu is that impressive?

He actually joined the Provincial Gourmet Association!

Sun Mingze smiled: "I'm not deliberately trying to flatter Chef Fu, I just feel I should stick with him and learn cooking, he's truly incredible. And everyone else in the kitchen, as long as they're qualified to cook, they're definitely better than us. I think this internship is a very rare opportunity, and I cherish it, I want to learn some cooking knowledge through this internship!"

Sun Mingze's words left everyone silent.

...

During the afternoon break, Liu Yuqing was alone at the front desk, she took the chance when Jiang Mo went to the canteen for lunch and hadn't returned, happily sent her sister a message.

Liu Yunong usually goes to the store in the afternoon, so when she received Liu Yuqing's message, she was in the locker room changing into her work clothes.

Opening the chat, Liu Yuqing had sent a picture along with a text: [Sis, let me show you something awesome!]

Liu Yunong curiously opened the picture, muttering: "What is it? So mysterious!"

The picture opened to reveal an invitation.

Liu Yunong raised her eyebrows, took a close look at the content, and froze for a moment, exclaiming in surprise: "Provincial Gourmet Association's culinary video competition... When did Fu Yu join?"

Probably didn't get a response for a while, Liu Yuqing couldn't wait anymore and directly called her on video.

Liu Yunong answered the video call, and Liu Yuqing's smiling face immediately appeared on the screen.

"Sis! Did you get my message?"

Liu Yunong nodded: "I got it."

Liu Yuqing was wearing Qianlima's waiter uniform, making her neck look slender and her skin even fairer.

"Did you see the picture?"

Liu Yunong replied: "I saw it."

Liu Yuqing asked: "Then why didn't you reply to my message?"

Liu Yunong smiled, didn't answer and asked instead: "When did Xiaofu participate in the competition?"

Liu Yuqing giggled and said: "It was last month, I even helped edit the video, he recorded it really well, at that time I thought for sure he would win an award. Sis, isn't he awesome?"
