Chapter 444 Rumors
The lottery was held after Jiang Yang and Chen Cuyi left. Just like yesterday, there were constantly scrolling numbers on the big screen, pairing each other.

However, unlike yesterday, this time the number was halved.This means that half of the people are eliminated.

There are 88 remaining chefs!
175 people, half of them were eliminated, plus one bye was directly promoted, leaving 88 people.

Very cruel rules, if you fail once, you will be eliminated, and there is no chance to try again.This is very similar to life, there is only one chance in life, if you lose... there is no chance to start again.

Jiang Yang and Chen Cuyi didn't wait for the lottery to be drawn, and there was no point in waiting.The lottery is not something you can decide on your own, and it cannot be changed. You just know it earlier if you keep it.

It's the same if you check it online later.

The results of the lottery came out soon, and the waiting chef was naturally the first to know, so he hurried back to prepare.

Tomorrow is the second round of the competition, and it is imperative to study your opponent.

…………

Jiang Yang and Chen Cuyi returned to the hotel, and they ate something on the way.I didn't eat at noon, I didn't feel it at first, but then I was really hungry and couldn't stand it.

As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw Ding Wenyao.

"Sister Ding, you came back so early?" Chen Cuyi asked.

Ding Wenyao said, "I didn't go."

Chen Cuyi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said in surprise: "Sister Ding, are you the one with the bye?"

Ding Wenyao nodded.

Chen Cuyi looked at Ding Wenyao in amazement, this luck must be great. There is a 1/175 chance that she will meet her!

"Both of you...should have won, right?" Ding Wenyao said.

Chen Cuyi nodded: "I must have won."

Ding Wenyao nodded again, and then stopped talking.

Chen Cuyi looked at Ding Wenyao, and he found that since he came to the imperial capital, Ding Wenyao seemed to be a different person.

Ding Wenyao obviously had no interest in continuing the chat, and neither did Jiang Yang and Chen Cuiyi.

Now, tomorrow's match list should come out, and the two are going to go back to the room to study tomorrow's opponents.

Chen Cuyi said goodbye to Ding Wenyao, and then returned to the room with Jiang Yang.

Both of them thought that the other would take out their mobile phones to study their opponents immediately, but both of them took out their mobile phones in a tacit understanding and clicked on WeChat.

Jiang Yang saw the message from Meng Wanqiu: "Congratulations! Come on!"

Jiang Yang laughed happily, put his finger on the screen, pondered for a moment, moved his finger quickly, edited a message, and sent it out: "Thank you!"

After a while, Meng Wanqiu returned: "You're welcome. Have you seen your opponent tomorrow?"

Jiang Yang froze for a moment, tomorrow's opponent...he hasn't had time to look at it yet.

"Didn't read it, I went to have a meal and just returned to the hotel." Jiang Yang replied.

"Oh! That's it, I'll send you that person's information later." Meng Wanqiu said.

"No, no, it's troublesome to sort out those materials, right?" Jiang Yang said.

"No trouble. You went out to eat just now, didn't you pay for the meal?" Meng Wanqiu said.

"Cough... actually there is a lunch box, but I was too engrossed in thinking about it and forgot to eat it." Jiang Yang returned.

Speaking of my embarrassing things, I still feel a little embarrassed.

"Pfft! It's amazing."

The two chatted one after another. Jiang Yang talked about what he had seen and heard about the imperial capital, about the food... talking about some interesting scenes he saw during the competition.

On the other side, Chen Cuyi was chatting again, his smile gradually becoming silly.

…………

In the Chefs Association office, Yang Kaizhong and Lin Yong sat facing each other.

"You...are confused!" Lin Yong said.

Yang Kaizhong made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Lin Yong.

"Old Lin, be safe and don't be impatient."

Lin Yong snorted: "Be safe and don't be impatient? How could I be safe and not be impatient! A good youth culinary competition was handed over to others, and this is how you became the president?"

Only when getting along in private like this, would Lin Yong talk to Yang Kaizhong like this.They are good friends for many years, but they always have to worry about Yang Kaizhong's face in front of outsiders.

"What can I do if I don't let others? Can we continue to close the door and play with ourselves? The times are changing, and we need to make changes." Yang Kaizhong said.

"No matter what you say, your decision is stupid. Even if you close the door and play your own game, it's better than letting these outsiders intervene. Look at what they have done for a good cooking exchange competition? One One-on-one competition? Picking questions on the spot? What do you think of a chef?" Lin Yong said angrily.

The original purpose of the National Youth Cooking Competition is to promote communication among young chefs and improve the culinary skills of young chefs.Its fundamental purpose is to cultivate talents!As for rewards, that's just icing on the cake.

And look at the current cooking competitions, with huge bonuses and one-on-one competitions, they have completely lost their previous appearance.

No wonder Lin Yong was angry.In his opinion, this is a stupid thing Yang Kaizhong did out of confusion.Whatever the reason, it's a stupid thing to do!
Yang Kaizhong could feel Lin Yong's anger.He looked at this friend and felt a little emotional in his heart.There are some things that outsiders don't understand, and he can't say them out.

"Old Lin, do you know that the Chefs Association has not been as peaceful as you have seen these years." Yang Kaizhong said.

Lin Yong frowned: "Old Yang, what do you mean?"

Yang Kaizhong smiled wryly: "Over the years, the Chefs Association has been in turmoil. Although they have been suppressed, but... I am worried that they will die rather than freeze."

"What is going on with what you said? Although the Chefs Association seems to have a lot of power, it doesn't actually have much power. What can those people covet?" Lin Yong asked.

From what he understood, the Chefs Association really had nothing worth coveting.This is a semi-official organization, which is not profitable in itself, and has no real power, so what is there to covet?

In fact, if it wasn't for Master Lin Yong's dying entrustment, he wouldn't even want to be the president of the Sichuan Chefs Association.

Yang Kaizhong was in a dilemma, he didn't know whether he should reveal it, he had a hesitant expression on his face.

Lin Yong saw it and said, "What are you trying to say? Or is there any secret in the Chefs Association that I don't know?"

Yang Kai said faithfully, but there are secrets that you don't know, but not only you, but everyone else except me.

Yang Kaizhong pondered for a while and said, "Have you heard the rumor?"

Lin Yong was startled, and his words were vague, how did he know it was the rumor!
"On top of the master." Yang Kaizhong said four words.

When Lin Yong heard this, a light exploded in his mind.

"You said it was the rumor?" Lin Yong was surprised.

Yang Kaizhong nodded, but did not speak.

"But isn't that rumor a rumor?" Lin Yong said.

Yang Kaizhong didn't speak, just looked at Lin Yong quietly.

Lin Yong understood that this was Yang Kaizhong acquiescing to the existence of the rumor.

The so-called rumors were 20 years ago.At that time, for some reason, a rumor suddenly appeared that the Chefs Association had a path to master chefs.
