Chapter 188 One Year Contract

This is really good news.

"By the way, how's the recruiting going?"

Su Ge sighed, "I haven't found a suitable person yet."

Taste the World has changed from a pure magazine style to a gourmet variety show, which is a big trend to enter the variety show circle.The program is scheduled to be held on Beijing Satellite TV's golden [-] o'clock slot, once a week, but the response to the first episode of the program was mediocre. At the end of the program, it was announced that the next invited guest would be Ji Zebei, and a promotional photo and brief introduction of Ji Zebei were also released. , Unexpectedly, the ratings of the second episode of the program skyrocketed.

The ratings of the show boosted the sales of the magazine, and Taste of the World became a huge hit for a while, and it also sparked a frenzy of people learning how to cook. At the same time, Ji Fanzhai was also popular.

A large number of diners came to Ji Fanzhai to reserve a table in order to see Ji Zebei's handsome face, and some of them were looking for high-end enjoyment.

Ji Fanzhai, as the only Chinese restaurant in Beijing with an antique decoration, elegant style and reasonable price, can naturally satisfy the vanity of these people.

The business in the store is booming, but with previous experience, Ji Zebei rarely shows up in the store.

He spends more time at home, spending time with cats and reading books. When Lu Ran is working, he goes fishing, climbing or exercising.

On Friday, Lu Ran sent the food manuscript to Su Ge's mailbox as usual. He was going to go home from get off work, but Liang Man called him into the office.

The ratings of the program were high and the sales volume of the magazine was good. Liang Man was almost smiling.

"The relationship between you and Ji Zebei should be very close, right?"

Lu Ran thought for a while and nodded.

Liang Man went on to say, "Let me mention something to you. You can tell Ji Zebei about it when you go back."

"what's up?"

"The high-level executives decided to sign a one-year work contract with Ji Zebei. Ji Zebei will continue to appear on our show as the main guest of the gourmet show, and the remuneration will be very generous."

"The main guest means that every episode of the show will be on?"

"Yes, the momentum for all people to learn to cook is strong. If Ji Zebei agrees to sign a one-year contract, it will actually be beneficial to our program and Ji Fanzhai. Of course, some small fresh meat stars may be invited in the later program, but this is for the sake of being active. Let’s take a look at the atmosphere of the show, just to attract people, our show still focuses on food.”

Lu Ran felt that this high-level decision was very good, but she was not sure whether Ji Zebei would agree to sign the contract.

"I'll go back and mention it to Lao Ji and see what he has to say."

Liang Man smiled and said: "Persuade him, try to get him to agree, after all, it's a win-win thing, I think he has no reason not to agree, and one more thing, I remember you have a good friend who is the head chef of the Pearl Hotel , used to be a three-star Michelin chef, if he can be invited to be on the show, the program team will consider having him and Ji Zebei in a few cooking competitions, and the ratings will probably be very good."

"You mean Ye Zhi'an?"

"Yes, it's him."

"I'll call and ask."

"please."

Lu Ran left Savoring the World and drove home directly.

As soon as she parked the car, a wechat message came to her mobile phone, it was from Ji Zebei, asking her what time she got off work.

She replied in seconds: "Just got off work, I'll be home soon, are you home?"

"Ah."

"It just so happens that I have something to look for you."

"what's up?"

She chuckled, "Let's meet and talk."

After getting out of the car, she took the elevator upstairs and came to the door of Ji Zebei's house. She found that the anti-theft door was ajar. Through the crack of the door, she could see coal balls squatting at the door. The little guy tilted his head and stared at she.

She pushed open the door with a smile, leaned over and stroked the cat's head, the briquettes were fattened by Ji Zebei, and the cat's size grew a lot.

After entering the house, she closed the door and looked around the living room, but Ji Zebei was nowhere to be seen.

"Old Ji, I'm here."

Ji Zebei came out of the study upon hearing the sound, "What are you going to tell me?"

Lu Ran told Ji Zebei what Liang Man had said to her, and the man listened quietly without giving an immediate answer.

He is not interested in signing the contract, but considering the continued cooperation with Taste World, he can often see Lu Ran, so he is a little moved.

"The reward is very generous." Lu Ran said.

He slightly hooked his lips, "Then set a time to discuss the details of the contract."

Lu Ran was taken aback, "You agreed?"

"There's no reason to disagree."

"There is one more thing. The program team wants to invite Ye Zhian. He used to be a Michelin three-star chef. He may record a few episodes of you and Ye Zhian's cooking competition."

Ji Zebei laughed when he heard the words, "If Ye Zhian agrees, I have no objection."

"I'll call and ask him."

"Call again in the afternoon, he should be busy now."

Lu Ran raised her head and glanced at the wall clock on the wall. It was almost dinner time, and she understood Ji Zebei's meaning in no time.

At noon, she had dinner with Ji Zebei, and at around three o'clock in the afternoon, she pulled out Ye Zhian's phone number, and the other party answered quickly.

"Have you watched the variety show produced by Taste the World?"

"No."

"Lao Ji has already been on a show. The recording team would like to invite you. Maybe they will arrange a few cooking competitions between you and Lao Ji. Are you interested?"

Ye Zhi'an on the other end of the phone looked confused, "Culinary competition?"

No matter when he was at the Royal Kitchen Academy or when he participated in food competitions later, he always lost to Ji Zebei. Although he was not convinced, Ji Zebei's sense of taste is abnormal now. If he won, he won disgrace.

"What did Lao Ji say?" he asked.

"He said as long as you agree, he has no problem."

"So pulling?"

Lu Ran smiled: "Are you interested?"

"Can you let me think about it?"

"of course can."

Before getting off work that night, Ye Zhian went into the general manager's office and mentioned the invitation to taste the world's gourmet show. The general manager did not object to this, thinking that Ye Zhian's participation in the variety show would bring certain benefits to Pearl Hotel. It can play a publicity role, and I immediately agreed.

-

For the next month, Ji Zebei will be recording a food variety show that tastes the world. Lu Ran will be there for every recording. Cheer up.

The cooking competition between Ji Zebei and Ye Zhian has been held for two rounds. A food critic was invited on the spot. The winner of the first round is Ji Zebei, and the winner of the second round is Ye Zhian.

This result made Ye Zhian feel unbelievable.

As soon as the program recording ended, he walked up to Ji Zebei and said with a smile, "Old Ji, I finally beat you once."

Ji Zebei smiled without saying a word.

"However, with your current situation, although I won a game, I feel weird in my heart. After your sense of taste returns to normal, I will compete with you again."

Ji Zebei smiled and said, "It's not necessary."

"Needed."

　The three-month appointment between Lao Ji and Xiao Lu is coming, are you looking forward to it?
