Go to a windy place and wait for the wind to come

Chapter 1 Returning to China
Gui Soul was born in autumn, and Qingluo was thin and undressed.

In a relocated house in the western suburbs of the bustling BJ City, Zhang Wentao got up and looked at the dim light outside the window, the sun was setting.

"Hey" Sitting on the sofa covered with white cloth, Zhang Wentao looked around at the furniture covered with white cloth, couldn't help sighing, and his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.

That year, at the age of 20, he graduated from high school and was not admitted to university.

After studying French and English in a foreign language cram school for two years, with the full support of my father, I went to Le Cordon Bleu, France, to learn Western food.

From elementary school to advanced level, the optical expenses cost about 4 euros. As for other living expenses, the moment I got my diploma, I basically emptied my parents' relocation funds.

In the year when his house was demolished, BJ hadn’t hosted the Olympic Games. Even with a large yard of 400 square meters, after receiving the house, it was far less than after the house price took off.

Fortunately, the prices of the three relocation houses have been rising year by year, which can be regarded as making up for it in disguise.

After studying French cuisine, Zhang Wentao chose to stay in France. Because he was an outstanding graduate, he was assigned to work in a restaurant that was only rated as Fine dining (high-end restaurant) at that time, starting as an assistant chef.

Later, I was fortunate enough to join Guy Savoy's team.

I have worked until the Sous Chef, that is, the sous chef.

Such achievements may not seem like much to outsiders, but those who really understand the catering industry know that the 70-year-old Guy Savoy has been rated as "the best chef in the world". Has been leading the team and the restaurant to maintain a 02-star standard.

The level of Michelin 3 stars is not only an honor, but also represents income.

As the sous chef, Zhang Wentao has a promising future. Although he is busy at work and spends more than 12 hours in the restaurant every day, his life has always been superior to most of his peers.

But since an accident happened a year ago when I was traveling with my parents in France, everything changed.

Zhang Wentao, who experienced the pain of losing his family, watched his parents leave with his own eyes, his mature face was full of vicissitudes, like a walking dead, he never got out of the day of the car accident.

No matter how enlightened Savoy, who regards him as his successor, can't make this promising young man out of pain.

What is even more regrettable is that Zhang Wentao caused the restaurant, the chef, and himself to drop stars due to a negligence.

"Teacher, I'm here." Zhang Wentao sat quietly on the sofa and dialed a familiar number.

"Zhang, give yourself a vacation and cheer yourself up. You are not to blame for the incident in the restaurant, so don't burden yourself too much. Everyone understands you, and the responsibility for that day is not on your shoulders." Guy Savoy comforted.

Hearing the exhaustion in the teacher's tone, Zhang Wentao murmured: "I know the teacher, don't worry, I won't give up on myself."

"What are you going to do next?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Wentao sighed, feeling a little emotional.

In this bustling and unfamiliar city, with a proud resume and one Michelin star certificate, it is actually very easy to find a well-paid job as an executive chef or head chef in a high-end five-star hotel.

But Zhang Wentao wanted to go out for a walk and have a look.

Because the hometown has changed, and the unfamiliar hometown no longer has a sense of belonging.

"Go on a trip, Zhang. Go to a windy place, and nature will help you. Go feel the time and enjoy a peaceful life."

"Okay, sir. I see."

"Take care of yourself, your parents, and don't want you to be like this all the time. It will pass. As long as you don't give up, time will help you."

"Time...Parents...Travel..."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wentao sat quietly on the sofa, not far from the suitcase he hadn't opened much.

To travel, where to go?

The teacher really knows how to joke, where is the wind?Where is there no wind?
All kinds of thoughts were finally interrupted by the sound of "grunt" from the belly. After sitting down on the flight of more than ten hours, I fell asleep on the bed in the bedroom. After waking up for a couple of hours, I was so hungry that I couldn't bear it. Living.

Why don't you go find something to eat first.

Zhang Wentao made a decision, went to the bathroom, took a brief wash, found a coat from the suitcase, and prepared to go out for food.

As soon as he walked out of the house, there was a sound from the mobile phone in his trouser pocket.

After the bell rang three times, he took it out, looked at the unfamiliar phone number, and chose to connect in doubt.

"Hi, I'm the front desk of the Waldorf Hilton Hotel, and I'm Xu Hongdou, the manager of the front office."

"Well... hello, what's the matter?"

"It's like this, Mr. Zhang Wentao, you have a reservation record in our hotel before, but I think it's getting late, and you haven't come to check in. May I ask if you need to go through the early check-in procedures to avoid your coming Sometimes the location of the hotel room can not satisfy you…”

It wasn't until the light and soft voice on the other end of the phone finished speaking that Zhang Wentao remembered that he had booked a hotel online before returning home because he was afraid that he would not dare to step into the house or face it.

And the restaurant he worked in had a partnership with Hilton.To put it simply, he is a VIP customer in the Hilton Hotel system, and he is a guest who needs to pay special attention to reception.

That's why there was such a call.

"Sorry, I want to cancel the reservation, please help me to do it."

Thinking that he didn't open his heart, but returned home in a daze, Zhang Wentao thought about it, and decided that there was no need to go to the hotel again, wasting time and money.

In fact, he is not short of money. After he got one Michelin star in France, his income was very high. Later, when he got two stars, his monthly salary was more than [-] Euros.

Relying on the savings he has accumulated over the years and the stable rental income, he has no worries about food and drink, and can fully enjoy 'life'.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang Wentao. Then I will handle it for you right away. Please pay attention to the refund information. If you have any questions, please contact us in time. Thank you for answering our call."

"OK, thanks."

After the other party finished speaking, Zhang Wentao thanked him and hung up the phone.

"call."

After hearing the busy tone from the landline, Xu Hongdou put down the phone, took a long breath, and quickly started to operate on the computer.

"Sister Hongdou, why don't I come." Li Meiyu, the newcomer on duty, said.

"No need, just go through a refund procedure, I'll do it." Xu Hongdou smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Meiyu, I'm going to have a physical examination tomorrow, if there is anything you don't understand at work tomorrow, Ask the old man more, let them take you."

"Well, yes, Miss Hongdou." Li Meiyu replied.

"The front desk of our hotel is like this. Things are more complicated. We need to entertain the customers who come to our front desk to go through the formalities, and we must also confirm the information of online customers in a timely manner. , you will gradually become familiar with it.”

"Well, I know, I will work hard, thank you, sister Hongdou."
