It was so exaggerated. As soon as Zhou Dong arrived at the gate of his alma mater, he saw a row of welcome people. In front of him were carefully selected girls from various majors, wearing fitness clothes and holding various garlands in his hands. He shouted in unison: "Welcome Senior Zhou to return to his alma mater!"

"Zhou Dong, Zhou Dong, Qingxiang Star!"

Behind were male classmates with envy and jealous eyes, teachers with a smile on their faces, and those with a proud chest and a stooping belly, and Principal Hong holding his chin.

Fortunately, why bother to join the 'beloved disciple', but the welcome ceremony ended quickly, although it was large in scale. Principal Hong personally held Zhou Dong's hand and welcomed him into the principal's office.

"Student Zhou, thank you for your alma mater. Your achievements are your glory and the glory of your alma mater. You will become the most shining star senior in the history of alumni. We are considering hanging your portrait in the chef class so that the younger students can take you as an example, study hard, study hard, and serve the people better in the future!"

The principal smiled and pulled Zhou Dong to sit down on the sofa. His eyes looked at Zhou Dong like his mother-in-law looking at his son-in-law: "Come on, come on, classmate Zhou, drink a sip of water before talking. Lao He, don't stand, try my Mingqian Longjing together!"

Zhou Dong was not polite, took a sip of Longjing and nodded, "It's really a top-level Longjing in the Ming Dynasty, a good thing!" Of course, he must maintain enough respect for Principal Hong. The Longjing in the Ming Dynasty is also worthy of his master-level taste.

"Oh, I am worthy of being the king of Chinese noodles. I didn't expect that you have a good study of tea for classmate Zhou? Lao He, you are very good, and you actually taught such an excellent student!"

Principal Hong kept praising Zhou Dong: "Student Zhou, since you are a student of Qingxiang, I will open the skylight and speak out loud; Qingxiang's slogan is 'Make the You of Tomorrow', but you are an exception. You made Qingxiang, not Qingxiang made you.

So from the perspective of the school, I naturally hope that you can go higher and farther. I am going to let you graduate early and directly help you apply for the Level 3 Chef Qualification Examination in the name of the school. I don’t know what you mean?”

"Let me graduate early and take the Level 3 Chef Qualification Examination directly?"

Zhou Dong was delighted.

His goal is to become the only chef in the world. Although strength is important, the level and title are equally important. If he can graduate as soon as possible, his parents will probably be very happy. After thinking about it, they have no reason to refuse.

"If I can graduate early, of course I'm fine, I have no objection. But Principal Hong, I'm afraid my conditions are not enough to directly take the third-level chef exam?"

Graduates of chef majors can successfully obtain the Level 5 Chef Certificate after the internship period expires. They can take Level 4 after one year, and Level 3 after another two years. No matter how fast it is, it will take three years. I have never heard of taking Level 3 directly after the internship period.

Principal Hong smiled and said, "Of course, first of all, we Qingxiang have the right to recommend. In principle, we can recommend the most outstanding students to directly take the Level 4 Chef Examination; in addition, you have already gained a great reputation in Qinxing now. As long as Jiuzhou Dingshi gives you an excellent resume, you can make an exception and directly get the Level 3 Chef Examination."

"Jiuzhou Ding Food?" Zhou Dong frowned slightly, as if he had guessed something.

"Yes, Mr. Gu of Jiuzhou Dingshi has been sent by the message and is willing to issue you a top resume signed by the eight chefs. And Mr. Gu also said that after you obtain the third-level chef certificate, Mr. Gu hopes to sign a contract with you and make you the ninth chef of Jiuzhou Dingshi!"

"Let me be the chef of Kyushu Dingshi, and I have to sign a contract?" Thinking of the conditions offered by Gu Yacheng, Zhou Dong subconsciously wanted to refuse; he did not agree to one percent of the shareholding. Now, I want to exchange his freedom with a resume and the position of chef?

Even if he agrees, my dad will object, right?

"Zhou Dong, don't worry, I heard from Principal Hong that Jiuzhou Dingshi just hopes to sign a one-year contract with you; and in exchange, Jiuzhou Dingshi promises to carry out in-depth cooperation with our school.

To be honest, Qingxiang has been suppressed by several famous technical schools in the province over the years, and now even the source of students is almost a problem, so the school attaches great importance to this opportunity to cooperate with Jiuzhou Dingshi."

He Bijin hurriedly said: "Jiuzhou Dingshi promised that he would absorb ten Qingxiang's chef graduates every year and would directly give them regular contracts!

Zhou Dong, now you just nod your head, not only can you get the opportunity to refer to the third-level chef and the position of Jiuzhou Dingshi chef, but you can also gain a development opportunity for your alma mater..."

"That's how..."

Zhou Dong nodded. No matter how you look at a one-year contract, it is acceptable. Moreover, his alma mater has been kind to him. Now that he has the opportunity to repay his alma mater, he should not refuse anyway.

Thinking of Huai Liangren's words and his embarrassed look these days, perhaps what Lao Huai said makes some sense?

Although I am reluctant to leave the breakfast department, if I continue to stay in the breakfast department, it may affect normal business.

Perhaps becoming the chef of Kyushu Dingshi is a good choice? In the breakfast department, I can only do my best to help the masters and fat people mature as soon as possible. Goubuli, although it is difficult to master the egg cake, if I teach it carefully, they should be able to make 80% or 90% of them?

According to the system, his illness has not yet fully recovered, but after this period of time, Zhou Dong's thinking has become much clearer than before. He can analyze the pros and cons and make a more correct choice.

I thought I could stay in the Breakfast Department for a while, but now it seems that it is probably not possible. However, before leaving, he had already begun to consider how to "remedy" the Breakfast Department, which was simply unimaginable in the past.

"If this is the case, I agree. It was my alma mater that accepted me back then, and now it is time for me to repay my alma mater."

Zhou Dong nodded and said, "Principal Hong, you can reply to Jiuzhou Dingshi and ask them to sign a contract with the school first. After the contract is successful, I will sign a contract with them."

Principal Hong nodded repeatedly: "Student Zhou, I thank you on behalf of Qingxiang! Qingxiang is always your home!"

"Principal, then I'll go back first. You'd better forget about hanging portraits you just said. I'm too young, so it's not appropriate to do this."

After Zhou Dong left, Principal Hong immediately called Gu Yanan. After hearing the confirmed news, Gu Yanan jumped up from the office chair and almost knocked over the coffee cup in front of him.

"Brother, Zhou Dong agreed!"

"No surprise, when I was in the Mushroom House, I realized that this kid was a kind and kind person, and I had long guessed that he should agree."

Gu Yacheng tapped his fingers on the desk a few times: "But I want to give you a suggestion. You can set up a separate hall for Zhou Dong on the 17th floor and appoint him as the chef, but it is not suitable to propose the concept of "catching ancient hall" now..."

Gu Yanan said: "Why?"

"In order to 'Catch the Ancient Hall', my father spent countless manpower and material resources to collect many lost recipes. It was not officially established because there was no suitable chef to restore it.

Zhou Dong has great potential, and I also believe that he can fulfill his father's wish, but now he is still too young, so we should give him time and space to grow."

Gu Yacheng sighed: "You must know that once the 'Catching Ancient Hall' is established, the huge pressure Zhou Dong faces is probably not something that the title of a Chinese noodle king can bear. Those lost recipes may attract countless people's greedy eyes.

I'm doing it for his own good."

Gu Yanan frowned and said, "But we set up a hall for Zhou Dong on the 17th floor. We can't end up making the thunder and rainy noises, right? Then, what name should the hall in charge of Zhou Dong be called?"

"Simple, it is called "Zhou's private dish". He can do whatever he wants to do in this hall and how to set rules. However, the price must reflect the quality of private dish, which is also the basis for the future "Catching Ancient Hall".

The contract we signed with him was one year. During this year, we just made more accurate judgment on Zhou Dong's potential through the business conditions of "Zhou's Private Vegetables" so that we can determine whether he is worthy of the old man's entrustment to those who lost the recipe!"

Gu Yacheng smiled and said, "You must support me in this regard. Although I am also very optimistic about Zhou Dong's future development, the 'Catching Ancient Hall' is a major event that the old man has been concerned about for a whole thirty years. We must be careful."

Gu Yanan pondered for a moment: "Okay, then I'll listen to you this time. By the way, brother, the competition system of this 'Xiangjiang International Food Competition' has changed from participating in the previous unit to recommending chefs to participate in the individual. I want to recommend Zhou Dong to represent our Jiuzhou Dingshi to participate in the competition."

"Well, Zhou Dong is already the chef of Jiuzhou Dingshi in two months. Of course he has this qualification, but this matter is probably not that simple..."

Gu Yacheng thought for a while and said, "Of the eight chefs of Jiuzhou Dingshi, Shen Gongdao will definitely support Zhou Dong to participate in the competition. Although the other seven chefs have good skills, they probably won't have the chance to enter the top ten. In addition, they are older and have stable incomes, so they should not have much thoughts about the competition.

But there is one person who will definitely be dissatisfied..."

Gu Yanan was stunned: "Why are you talking about that?"

"Isn't it your best friend, Boss Hua Yidao?"

Gu Yacheng smiled and said, "Although she is not the chef, she is a famous sword skills master in Suzhou Province. It is said that if her senior brother had not become the chef of Su cuisine, then Su Chu's chef would be her. From this we can see that she is not just the sword skills.

Even I have heard of Boss Hua’s reputation. They all say that she is a little pepper who never convinces others. Do you guess she will convince Zhou Dong?”

"She, she has been waiting for the opportunity to compete with Zhou Dong..."

Gu Yanan chuckled: "I have a chance now, but I am looking forward to her and Zhou Dong's 'battle'. Humph, I'm mysterious all day long. Even I don't know how much strength she has on the stove. This time I can finally see her true skills."

"Xiao Nan, as a manager, you must have the ability to seize every opportunity. The completion of the 'Catching Ancient Hall' cannot be achieved by just a genius. I hope that after this battle, your best friend will be convinced by Zhou Dong. Maybe he can assist Zhou Dong in the future to build the 'Catching Ancient Hall'..."

"Brother, can you stop being so smart and wise every time? It seems useless to me like this."

Gu Yanan's heart moved. Why can her brother always take a step forward and see a longer-term view every time? This has hit her confidence too much.

***

"Xiao Zhou, are you talking about leaving the breakfast department?"

Liu Changqing looked at Zhou Dong blankly, feeling extremely sad and angry.

This is all because of the Baikun Gaochu from all over the world. He was so desperate that he had to recommend Zhou Dong as the "Huaxia Noodle King"! And that Lin Qing! What's the bullshit article he wrote? The number of diners has increased a lot, but irrelevant guys have also come in groups. Now the breakfast department is unable to open normally.

He could also understand Zhou Dong's helpless choices, the entrustment of his alma mater, and the superior conditions offered by Jiuzhou Dingshi all forced the young man in front of him to do this. If he had changed, he might even go faster! But he just couldn't bear to let it go. How long has the breakfast department been so popular? Will he change back to the original appearance of being neglected in the family?

"I won't leave the breakfast department completely. I will still launch my new breakfast in the breakfast department from time to time. This frequency is about two or three times a month, right? If those meaningless guys can't figure out my time, they will gradually calm down."

Zhou Dong smiled and said, "I will also try to give some relatively easy-to-operate breakfast professors to Master Zhang and Fatty. I believe that as long as they work hard, they can master at least 80% or 90%, so that the strength of the breakfast department can be improved as a whole."

"Yes, time can change everything."

Liu Changqing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "When those guys calm down, Xiao Zhou, will you return to the breakfast department, right?"

"I'm afraid it's very difficult. I have promised that my alma mater and Kyushu Dingshi formally sign the contract. What kind of chef should I be? Then I can't go to the breakfast department by violating the contract.

So what I just said should be the best result I can win. As for what will happen after the contract expires, I can’t say now."

"It seems that this is the only way..."

Liu Changqing sighed repeatedly: "It's all my fault. If I had known it, I wouldn't have let you do the 'Eight Treasures', hey!"

Zhou Dong's arrangement was already considered to be a perfect match for the breakfast man, and he couldn't say anything, but he just felt sorry for his "money prospect".

"I may be sorry for the old customers who come here often. This is how Teacher Liu, today I will use the official account of the breakfast department to send messages to all old customers.

As a gift I gave to everyone before I left, the top 50 customers can choose the same pastry, and I promise they will eat these delicacies tomorrow.

However, I'm afraid they're coming in the afternoon, so just treat it as afternoon tea."

The task of the third death-free gold medal fragment has not been completed, and it is calculated that there are still more than 30 dough points left. Zhou Dong is preparing to complete the task before leaving, and it will be completed in excess, so he directly gave fifty places.
Chapter completed!
