Ambassador Cai's words were undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Yang Zhenxing.

He looked at Ambassador Cai with wide eyes and asked, "Grandpa Cai, can I really do this?"

Ambassador Cai did not answer directly, but said: "Whether it can be done or not, it doesn't matter what I say, it doesn't matter what anyone says, only what you say counts.

I want to ask you, are you willing to do this?"

Yang Zhenxing pursed his lips, biting his lower lip and lost in thought.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Ambassador Cai seriously and said: "Grandpa Cai, if more people can get to know Chinese food and my cooking skills, I think I am very willing to do this."

Ambassador Cai smiled kindly, nodded and said: "Okay, since you are willing, then work hard towards this goal in the future! I will always watch you!"

"You can't just watch. If you can, I hope you can help me."

"Haha, no problem. If you have any questions or can't figure something out, you can contact me at any time!"

Looking at the warm performance of Yang Zhenxing and Ambassador Cai, they seemed to be as harmonious with each other as grandfather and grandson.

Hou Qiang and others were very envious.

They didn't know what charm Yang Zhenxing had that attracted so many noble people to help him.

President Chen of the Culinary Association is like this, and when he comes to France, the ambassador to France is also like this.

After untying the knot in his heart, Yang Zhenxing's mood became much better, his appetite gradually opened up, and he began to truly enjoy this French dinner.

Before leaving in the evening, he specially asked Ambassador Cai to take a photo with him alone.

Along with this trophy and medal that he regarded as a shame.

He wanted to wait until he got the photo and just take it in the most conspicuous place in the house.

He was always reminded of the unpleasant experience of going abroad to participate in the competition, as well as Ambassador Cai's words of comfort and encouragement to him.

After the dinner at the embassy, ​​it was time for the participating teams to leave.

Calculating carefully, it has been more than half a month since I went abroad this time, and it is almost time to participate in the Olympics.

Of course, there are also reasons why the National Culinary Federation did not expect to be able to break through the Asian qualifiers and qualify to participate in the finals in France.

In any case, except for the unpleasantness of the final scoring, the rest of the process was smooth and perfect.

When I left, I flew from Beijing to Shanghai, and after gathering, I flew from Shanghai to Singapore.

After winning the qualifiers, we will transfer from Singapore to London and then to Paris.

But the way back is much easier.

You can fly to London first. London now has a direct flight to and from Beijing every week.

Because of Hong Kong Island, England is also one of the first Western European countries to have domestic navigation.

Another option is to fly directly from Paris to Hong Kong Island, then transfer from Hong Kong Island to Beijing.

The good thing about the first option is that it is a short time and it is a direct flight. The bad thing is that there are few flights and you may not be able to buy tickets to match the time.

As for the latter route, fortunately there are more flights, tickets are easy to buy, and there are many flights between the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

The disadvantage is that it requires two transfers, which may take more time.

I contacted the English side through the embassy and was told that there were no flights this week.

If you want to buy a ticket, you can only buy the next week's flight.

Instead of waiting for a week, it is better to spend more time to transfer when you arrive.

Could it have taken another week?

So Hou Qiang successfully bought a ticket to fly to Hong Kong Island. Yang Zhenxing and others said goodbye to Ren Yongning who came to see them off, and boarded the plane back home.

First, the plane landed in Amsterdam, stayed for about four hours, and boarded the plane again.

This time there will be no landing on the way and we will arrive directly at Hong Kong Island.

When we arrived at Hong Kong Island, we had to fly to China, so we spent some time going through the procedures and got on the plane the next day.

In total, it took two days on the road before we finally arrived in the capital.

Being tortured like this on his first trip left a very bad impression on Yang Zhenxing.

He really hates long distance flying now.

Not only was I on the plane for nearly ten hours, but I also had to endure the smokers smoking in the cabin.

Having just set foot in the capital, Yang Zhenxing just wants to go home and sleep well for a few days and nights.

But things went against expectations because the National Culinary Association's pick-up team, headed by the vice-president and secretary-general, had been waiting at the airport for a long time.

Just after passing the customs and before exiting the station, Hou Qiang stopped Yang Zhenxing.

"Zhenxing, don't rush out now."

Yang Zhenxing looked at Hou Qiang in confusion and asked, "Director Hou, we are almost at the door. What else is there?"

"The news that you won the Outstanding Award has already spread back to China. President Chen and the Culinary Association attach great importance to it this time. They specially held a welcome ceremony at the airport and invited reporters to take photos.

You can't wear this. Take out the team clothes, hang up the medals, and hold the trophy in your hands."

Yang Zhenxing was a little embarrassed and said: "Director Hou, it's okay to have the medal hanging, but if you let me hold the trophy in my hand again, what will I do with my luggage? Besides, this is too obvious."

Hou Qiang thought for a while and then said: "Then I'll listen to you. Just hang up the medal and put the trophy in the outermost place where it's easy to get. When you get out, if the leader wants to, you can just take out the trophy."

Although he felt very helpless, Yang Zhenxing still obeyed and acted according to Hou Qiang's instructions.

The country provided money and effort to allow him to stay abroad for a long time to participate in the competition.

Moreover, apart from buying souvenirs, he didn’t have to pay a penny for anything else, and his bonus wasn’t deducted.

After receiving the award and returning to China, you have to cooperate with the other party's work and do some formality to show everyone that the money is not in vain.

It also helps the National Culinary Association improve its reputation and political achievements.

After getting dressed, Hou Qiang confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his outfit.

The representative team walked out of the airport exit with a brand-new look different from the one on the plane.

They were very conspicuous in their uniforms and attracted the attention of everyone in the airport pick-up hall as soon as they came out.

From afar, Yang Zhenxing saw a welcome banner held by a row of people, which read, 'Warmly welcome the triumphant return of the national team participating in the French Culinary Competition.'

This made Yang Zhenxing blush for a while.

"Invigorate, shake your hands, shake your hands, with a smile on your face." Hou Qiang reminded in a low voice from behind.

After Yang Zhenxing heard this, he showed a shy and embarrassed smile and stiffly waved to the welcoming team.

"Crack, click, click!"

Several flashes of light faithfully and permanently recorded this scene, which became one of the dark histories that Yang Zhenxing least wanted to see published in the media.

When a group of people came up, the vice president and secretary-general went up to Gaoyang and gave Yang Zhenxing flowers, held his forearm and said, "Thank you for your hard work on this trip abroad to compete! Welcome home!"

Yang Zhenxing also felt the true care and warmth of his own people at this moment, and replied with some emotion: "Thank you for your concern, leader, this is what I should do!"
