Chapter 197: Efforts from top to bottom

The reporters' interviews are not like those of foreign reporters. They are all very well-behaved and there are no overstepping issues.

At most, I just want Yang Zhenxing to talk about his impressions and feelings about foreign countries during his time abroad.

Ma Yuying and Yang Zhenxing, an old acquaintance of the Beijing News, also met.

Because of the environment, he nodded slightly as a greeting when the other party was called to ask a question.

After the welcome ceremony, Yang Zhenxing was arranged to be interviewed by Beijing TV Station.

He also specifically asked if this interview would be broadcast, and was relieved after receiving an accurate answer.

At the same time, I plan to go to He Shangchao's house to watch the TV when it is broadcast to see what he looks like on TV.

After the short interview, Yang Zhenxing came to Chairman Chen's office.

"Sit down, I've worked hard for you."

Yang Zhenxing sat down as he was told, shook his head and said, "Director Hou and other accompanying staff did a good job in logistics, but I didn't have any hard work."

The two chatted for a while, and then saw the vice president, vice president, secretary-general and other leaders knocking on the door and walking in.

Looking at the leader of the cooking association who walked in, Yang Zhenxing asked uncertainly: "Grandpa Chen, is this...?"

Chairman Chen put on a serious watch, looked at him and said: "We already know what happened in the French finals. This time we called you and other leaders here to deal with this matter."

"That's right!"

Vice President Zhang moved a chair and sat down, nodded and said: "You are the chef recommended by our association. We cannot let our people suffer injustice outside and do nothing."

Yang Zhenxing was very moved.

The initial feeling of being a little irritated by not letting him go home to rest immediately disappeared.

"Thank you to the leaders for their concern and help. With your support, I feel very stable now."

"It is one of our responsibilities to make chefs across the country feel at ease. We want all employees to know that we have a backer behind them that they can trust with peace of mind."

"Okay, let's not talk too much. Zhenxing took two flights in a row and just came back today. Let's hurry up and let him go home and rest early."

President Chen interrupted a few words, then looked at Yang Zhenxing and said: "Everyone knows what happened, so I won't go into details. What do you think of this matter?"

Yang Zhenxing was silent for a moment, and the memory he didn't want to think of came back to his mind again.

But he wasn't angry, he just felt a little irritable.

"I feel that the West lacks knowledge and understanding of our Chinese food, and the idea that some expert chefs believe that Western food is the best has been deeply ingrained in their minds."

"Well, keep going."

"This time I went to participate in the finals, not only myself, but also chefs from Neon, Nanbangzi and Singapore. In addition to the chefs from Nanbangzi and Singapore cooking Western food, the chefs from Neon also made more or less traditional dishes.

Got some targets.

For example, several chefs from South American countries were wiped out, and only one of the four won the bronze medal. Almost all other medals were taken away by Western chefs from Europe and North America."

After hearing the news, the atmosphere in the office was a little dull.

President Chen nodded, sighed and said: "Alas! Everyone should know the actual situation, but they are just unwilling to admit and face it.

The modern pattern of a strong west and a weak east is the root cause of all this, and we still have a lot of work to do."

"How difficult is it to change the world's impression of Chinese food? There is a long road ahead!"

Regarding the somewhat dejected words of the Vice President and Secretary-General, Vice President Zhang said directly: "It is because of the difficulties that we have to face them. Even if we cannot do our best, we must lay a good foundation for those who come after us."

President Chen agreed very much with the vice president’s words and said: “Zhang is very right. As the leaders of the first National Culinary Association, we must pave the way for those who come after us and make their journey smoother.

Moreover, the country has gradually realized this problem, and the World Cooking Federation officially approved by the State Council last year came from this, and our Director Jiang also served as the president there."

Director Jiang, whose name was called, said modestly: "It's all because of the trust of all the leaders! I will definitely achieve outstanding results!"

Yang Zhenxing was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard about the World Chinese Cuisine Federation, and Director Jiang, who was not very familiar with him, actually became the president of this new association.

Perhaps noticing Yang Zhenxing looking at him, Director Jiang turned around and asked with a smile: "We, the World Culinary Federation, will hold the first Chinese Culinary World Competition in Shanghai on November 10 this year.

A four-year cooking competition product expo will also be held during the period. I wonder if Master Yang is interested in participating?"

Yang Zhenxing was surprised by the sudden invitation and said quickly: "President Jiang, fellow leaders, I am still very good at my craft among young people, but there is still a big gap between me and other masters.

I won’t embarrass myself in the first competition. Can you let me practice for a few more years before participating?”

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Yang Zhenxin's appearance, everyone in the conference room couldn't help laughing.

Chairman Chen also shook his head and said: "With your current level, you are indeed far behind. Jiang, let's let Zhenxin participate in the second and third sessions again! Isn't the competition only held every four years? It's not at this time.

"

Director Jiang understands what Chairman Chen means, which is to tell him not to encourage others.

But after thinking about it, he felt that he was a little too impatient, so he replied: "Well, I didn't think carefully. Master Yang, please don't shirk it again until the next term!"

Yang Zhenxing nodded quickly and replied: "Don't worry, if I feel that my level is sufficient after four years, I will definitely sign up!"

After hesitating for a moment, he continued: "Actually, I think it would be great if this competition could be held all over the world."

"Oh? What do you think? One?"

Seeing everyone's interest, Yang Zhenxing continued: "In fact, in Singapore and even France, apart from the judges, ordinary people are actually very friendly and welcoming to Chinese food.

An expo-like event was held after the competition in Singapore. I also performed Chinese cooking techniques and the dishes I cooked were the most popular among the local people.

In France, all the hotel employees we settled in were impressed by Chinese food. In fact, they just don’t understand Chinese food. Once they are exposed to it, they will be attracted and impressed by the charm of Chinese food.”

President Chen nodded happily and said: "I am very happy that you have such observation and understanding during your trip. This trip is not in vain.
