Food Stall: Customers Chase Me across the Country

Chapter 646 - 593: I Came Here to Take First Place

China-France Dessert Championship Organization Unit Conference Center.

It’s already 8 pm at this time, but the conference center is still brightly lit, and the large office is already packed with people.

"I propose that this competition be live-streamed throughout."

As soon as Chen Guomin finished speaking, the entire office became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone looked at him in amazement, not understanding why he suddenly made this proposal.

The organization behind this competition also has an official background, and the person in charge is named Xiang Kun, about forty years old: "Master Chen, tell us your thoughts."

Chen Guomin stood up and said, "Director Xiang, I believe you also watched today’s internal selection. That young man named Wang Fan has extraordinary creativity, and likewise, his dessert-making skills are far beyond ordinary people.

Therefore, I believe tomorrow’s competition will be a true clash of titans, which will be very helpful in promoting our traditional culture and traditional cuisine."

As soon as he finished speaking, a very charismatic woman in her forties rebutted, "Master Chen, Mr. Wang Fan’s performance is evident, but the idea of live-streaming is still poorly considered. If Mr. Wang Fan still can’t beat those French pastry chefs, it will be a heavy blow to our event."

Master Chen said, "Deputy Director Chen, I am very confident in Wang Fan. He will definitely shine in the competition."

Deputy Director Chen said, "I am equally confident in Mr. Wang. We watched the entire competition today, and what he made was exquisite and considered art, but do not forget, Mr. Wang is only one person. The other contestants are equally excellent, yet there is still a significant gap compared to the French team. Do you expect Mr. Wang to take on all 10? This isn’t a movie."

"Deputy Director Chen makes a good point. In the current competition, we’ve been losing repeatedly, but because the publicity efforts weren’t high, not many people knew. Even if we lost, we could brush it off as insufficient preparation, but if we start a live broadcast, we would have no room to maneuver. Previous competitions will be dug up, and we would be left stuck."

"I support live-streaming. Since Boss Wang’s debut, every dessert he has made is at today’s level. I believe he can certainly create a miracle."

"I think it’s better not to, as Director Chen mentioned. After all, Boss Wang is only one person, and the opponents are ten Michelin-level pastry chefs, among them master-level figures from three-star restaurants. Human strength has its limits."

Soon, discussions in the office began to rise, with opinions both for and against live-streaming, each person having their own viewpoint.

"Knock knock knock..."

The sound of someone knocking on the table wasn’t loud but very penetrating. In this meeting, besides Director Xiang, no one else would dare to knock on the table.

Everyone quieted down, all turning their gaze towards Director Xiang.

Director Xiang said seriously, "Everyone, you seem to have forgotten a key figure, the Nine-star Chef God—Allen.

He is a well-known figure internationally, and this time coming to Huaxia, countless foreign media are watching his every move. His landing is undoubtedly welcomed by foreign media. As the head judge, this dessert championship’s international attention will surely be unprecedented. How the major foreign media write about our Huaxia, you all are very aware of. If we lose this competition again, everyone should be prepared to be smeared by foreign media sensationalism, then attacked by the domestic public."

"Hiss..."

As soon as Director Xiang finished speaking, there was a collective intake of breath in the office.

If it weren’t for Director Xiang’s reminder, they really would have forgotten about this great figure.

The foreign media’s old standard is to write about the bad, not the good. This time, Chef Allen’s arrival will surely bring a large batch of foreign media. If we do lose, it would be a carnival for the foreign media.

Deputy Director Chen frowned and looked at Director Xiang, "Director Xiang, what do you mean?"

Director Xiang did not keep them in suspense: "Start the live broadcast. Now it’s not about whether we want to or not. If we don’t start it, and let the public find out through foreign media reports, they will only be angrier with us. We might as well be open and honest. Even if we ultimately lose the competition, we can show the public that our contestants tried hard in the competition.

Compared to winning or losing, what the public cares more about is whether there was genuine effort."

Director Xiang had researched the current public mindset.

As the nation’s power gradually increases, the public and netizens are becoming more tolerant of various foreign-related competitions.

Winning and losing is a common occurrence in warfare, and everyone can understand that. What everyone wants is an attitude, not excuses.

At this point, there was no need for further discussion, and the decision to live-stream across the internet was made.

Tonight, countless workers would have another night of battles ahead, discussing live-stream details with major platforms. The competition starts at 10 tomorrow morning, and they truly don’t have much time left.

"The China-France Dessert Championship starts tomorrow at 10 am sharp. Looking forward to your viewership."

"What kind of culinary wave will the most powerful wild food boss team up with nine pastry masters to crash against ten Michelin-level French pastry chefs? Tune in at 10 am tomorrow to find out."

"A dessert championship in a KOF format, will Huaxia desserts prove superior, or will French desserts take the lead?"

By 11 pm, one eye-catching headline after another began to spread wildly on the internet.

The spread was not only in Chengdu or even in Sichuan but across the entire internet, everyone was curious about what exactly this competition was.
