Chapter 1002: Chapter 417: Xie Baomin: I Have a Slightly Immature Suggestion! Fishing Platform’s Retaliation!

Qi Zhentao felt that the atmosphere was indeed good right now, so he stood up and walked onto the stage with big steps.

Everyone was immersed in Old Master Guo’s words, and seeing Qi Zhentao suddenly step forward, they were somewhat surprised.

Especially those spectators who came for the event, all of them showed expressions of delight.

Oh my!

There’s actually a new twist?

It’s worth coming!

He Jiajun asked curiously:

"Zhentao, what are you doing?"

Qi Zhentao smiled at him but didn’t answer. Instead, he picked up the microphone and said to everyone:

"Hello everyone, I’m Qi Zhentao. When I was 16 years old, I came to Yanjing Restaurant and became a novice in the kitchen. Due to my diligence, Meng Dexing took me under his wing as a disciple. For 35 years, I’ve worked hard without a moment’s negligence. However, my master Meng Dexing plotted against me during my role as Executive Chef, risking me going to jail for the sake of his son Meng Kaifang..."

He simply recounted the events that happened at Yanjing Restaurant earlier.

A considerable number of people present weren’t aware of this matter, only knowing that his Executive Chef position was stripped and replaced with a Technical Chef.

Losing the "Executive" title signified a significant downgrade in status.

Seeing him step onto the stage just now, many thought he was standing up against the leadership for losing his position.

Unexpectedly, it was such explosive insider news.

No wonder the new Executive Chef wasn’t appointed from within Yanjing Restaurant, nor were other apprentices of retired veteran chefs invited, but instead an outsider from Fishing Platform was sourced.

So, this is what happened.

Better be cautious when returning, watching out for fellow apprentices and disciples. Don’t emulate the Meng Family in secretly brewing problems.

As Qi Zhentao spoke, the veteran elders of Yanjing Restaurant who had been bowing their heads lowered them even further.

Facing such a shameful matter, even if one wanted to act tough, it was impossible to muster the courage.

Once this goes public today, the whole of Yanjing, nay, the entire Chinese culinary circle is likely to spread this news.

By that time, scolding is inevitable.

After Qi Zhentao finished speaking, he solemnly announced:

"For over thirty years as a disciple, I have treated Meng Dexing like parents, never lacking in gifts and greetings during festivals. But he treated me like this, today in front of all colleagues and elders, I decide to leave the master and set out independently. From today onwards, there are no longer any master-disciple ties between Meng Dexing and I. I ask all colleagues and elders to witness this!"

As his words fell, everyone showed expressions of shock. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Leaving the master and setting out independently.

This is typical behavior of betraying the master and ancestors.

Although the master is indeed lacking, setting out independently...

He Jiajun standing in front of the stage turned his face to look at Qi Zhentao. Doing so would carry infamy, at fifty years old, why so impulsive?

He was about to say a few words when Xie Baomin suddenly stood up and said:

"Well done, Old Qi, I support you. Nowadays it’s a new society, we don’t practice blind loyalty or filial piety anymore. Meng Dexing was unkind and unjust first, what right does this bastard have to be a master? Our Fishing Platform Second Building supports Old Qi setting out independently!"

What is called top-level support?

This is it!

Xie Baomin didn’t just mention himself, but the Fishing Platform Second Building.

By bringing out the unit he belongs to, it not only appears large in numbers but also carries more authority.

Upon his words, Dai Jianli also chimed in:

"Our Fishing Platform Eighteenth Building also supports Old Qi setting out independently, damn it, such a master should be cut into pieces!"

Upon seeing this, other executive chefs, unwilling to miss this opportunity to shine, stood up one after another to voice their support for Qi Zhentao.

"Fishing Platform First Building supports Master Qi setting out independently!"

"Fishing Platform Tenth Building supports Executive Chef Qi setting out independently!"

"Fishing Platform Sixth Building supports Executive Chef Qi setting out independently!"

"Fishing Platform Fifteenth Building supports Brother Qi setting out independently!"

"..."

One by one, the neatly dressed executive chefs stood up, expressing support with actions, giving Qi Zhentao a feeling of overwhelming emotion.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support!"

Liao Jinming, who was standing beside the stage, sipping tea with a thermos cup, spoke into the microphone:

"As a manager, it is not my place to speak out, but Master Meng truly handled this unethically. Executive Chef Qi, we at Fishing Platform fully support you. From now on, whenever you need help, Fishing Platform will not turn a blind eye."

Originally, a few veteran elders who had good relations with Meng Dexing wanted to criticize a few words.

But seeing this situation, they immediately shut their mouths.

Fishing Platform has clearly expressed its support, anyone opposing now would undoubtedly be scolded.

In this spat, Yanjing Restaurant had no chance of retaliation, and this considering only a few middle-aged executive chefs from Fishing Platform were involved.

If Xie Baomin or that group of old-timers were to unleash their prowess...

Better continue watching the show.

Recently been taking hypotension medicine, can’t afford a stroke from their scolding.

He Jiajun felt slightly relieved seeing entire Fishing Platform support Qi Zhentao.

He has always liked this disciple nephew, gifted, sensible, obedient.

With Fishing Platform’s clear support now, even if people criticize in future, they won’t dare to be outright, as everyone here doesn’t want to offend Fishing Platform.

It’s a shame Meng Dexing is still a junior brother, or else he’d...

While he was thinking, Lin Xu handed the child Dundun to Shen Baobao, stood up and said:

"Lin Ji’s Food supports Executive Chef Qi setting out independently!"

Everyone saw this, wow, finally support from outside of Fishing Platform.

However, this Master Lin aligns closely with Fishing Platform, his support isn’t surprising. If Yanjing Restaurant supports, that would be truly eye-opening.
