Jiang Yang didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang quietly. Wen Tongming must have encountered something, but he didn't have any stance to ask.

Wen Tongming drank the wine one by one, as if he wanted to use alcohol to anesthesia himself.

After a long time, perhaps under the influence of alcohol, Wen Tongming spoke: "I have never been a genius since I was a child. My grandfather once said that I have a poor talent in cooking."

Jiang Yang looked at him with his head tilted, not very understanding of what Wen Tongming said. After all, he has always been called a genius, and no one said he was not talented.

Wen Tongming didn't know what Jiang Yang was thinking, otherwise he would be able to kill him.

"Fortunately, although a chef needs talent, he is not talented enough, so he can become a good chef by hard work.

I originally thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I could become a chef like my grandfather. But today's competition made me understand that hard work without talent is just a joke." Wen Tongming said.

"I have met a very powerful chef who is not talented and is almost a joke in the chef circle. But with his hard work and diligence, he finally made a big splash in the first-level chef exam, surpassing his former senior brothers and becoming a first-level chef!" Jiang Yang said, telling the story of Qiu Yuan that he had heard at the time.

"Is that so? Then he is very lucky!" Wen Tongming said.

"In this world, there are always people who have no talent but succeed through hard work." Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming took a sip of wine and said, "Thank you!"

"No, I'm just telling the truth." Jiang Yang said.

"Anyway, thank you!" Wen Tongming said.

"It's getting late, so you can go back quickly! As long as you persist, you will definitely become a great chef in the future." Jiang Yang said.

Wen Tongming laughed at himself and said, "It's a pity that I have no chance!"

Jiang Yang was stunned and asked, "Why didn't there be a chance?"

Wen Tongming pursed his lips, wanted to speak but stopped, as if he had some concerns.

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "It's okay, if you can't say it, you won't say it. But as long as you have the intention, you can't lose your chance."

Wen Tongming lowered his head, suddenly his expression relaxed, and said, "Actually there is nothing to hide. All of this has to start with my grandfather being sick..."

...

"What are you... doing?" Wen Tongming looked at the person in front of him angrily.

"What are we doing? We're just here to visit the old man." A middle-aged man in a suit and tie smiled.

"Bah! You are not at ease with kindness, don't think I don't know!" Wen Tongming looked at them angrily and said.

"Xiao Ming!" Wen Tongming's mother called out.

"Everyone, this is the ward, the old man needs a rest!" Wen Tongming's father stood up and said.

"Of course we dare not disturb the old man's purity, but..." The middle-aged father approached Wen Tongming and whispered: "The old man's illness requires a lot of money, right?" After that, he did not stop and took his subordinates away.

Wen Tongming's father's fists were clenched in an instant, but he was still rational and restrained his impulse.

"Shameless!" Wen Tongming said angrily.

His father glanced at him and said, "Isn't your store open today?"

"Grandpa is sick and I'm not in the mood to open a shop." Wen Tongming said.

"Nothing! Since you have decided to become a chef, you cannot give up because of these things. Your grandfather doesn't want you to open a store because of him. Moreover, we are here, and it's not your turn!" Wen Tongming's father said.

"But..." Wen Tongming was about to speak, but his father interrupted: "Go back!"

Wen Tongming looked at his father calmly. Seeing that his father looked firm, he said unwillingly: "Okay!"

Outside the door, Wen Tongming was unwilling to leave like this. Suddenly he heard the words in the door, and he leaned his ear closer to listen.

"What did you ask Xiao Ming to go back? You don't know his relationship with his grandfather." said the mother.

"Oh~ Why don't I know, it's just... he is young and impulsive, and it's probably a bad thing to be here." The father sighed.

"Bad things? What's bad things?" Wen Tongming's mother said in confusion.

"Well, for his grandfather's medical expenses, I'm afraid that they can only give those things. Although they suffer losses, no one is important. If Xiao Ming stays here, I'm afraid he will have a bad thing when he gets impulsive." The father explained.

"Medical expenses? Don't the family still have savings? Isn't it enough?" Wen Tongming's mother said in surprise.

"Since they mentioned it, it means they will definitely use other methods. Although they are not known, I dare not take the old man's life to bet!" Wen Tongming's father said.

"How dare they...?" his mother said in surprise.

"How dare? They all forced themselves to say that for this, are there any one who dare not?" Wen Tongming's father sneered.

When Wen Tongming heard this, a sudden burst of anger arose in his heart. He almost rushed in and questioned his father, but in the end he still held back.

He knew that it was not because his father wanted to make this decision, but because he had to force him.

He left the hospital without hesitation, not knowing how he got back, and his thoughts were in chaos.

The next day, Wen Tongming stood up to find the man, and he would never allow his grandfather's efforts to be taken away like this!

Wen Tongming went to a catering company with several restaurants, which are famous in Shancheng after all.

Their reputation is more not the famous cooking skills or dishes, but the famous reputation of some disgraceful means and behaviors.

However, they did not do anything illegal, so it was naturally impossible to sanction them with legal weapons. However, their company is very unpopular in the Shancheng catering circle.

"Oh, isn't this Chef Little Wen? What wind blows you?" The man in a suit smiled yesterday.

"Hmph! Xue Lei, don't do this." Wen Tongming snorted coldly.

"Oh? What's the point of Chef Wen asking me for?" Xue Lei said with a smile.

"Come and have a bet with you!" Wen Tongming said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Interesting, so interesting. Tell me, how can I bet?" Xue Lei looked at Wen Tongming and suddenly smiled.

"In the exchange competition a few days, if I win the top three, then you give up my grandfather's recipe. Otherwise, I will serve it with both hands!" Wen Tongming said in a deep voice.

"Haha, why should I promise you? If what I expected, this recipe will be my favorite sooner or later!" Xue Lei said with a smile.

Wen Tongming's face changed. He eavesdropped on his father's meaning yesterday, and planned to give the recipe to Xue Lei. As for the conditions, he didn't know.

"If I don't agree, you don't want to get the recipe!" Wen Tongming said fiercely.

"You just ignore your grandfather?" Xue Lei said with a smile.

Wen Tongming didn't know how to answer for a moment. Of course, he couldn't ignore his grandfather. But once he said this, wouldn't it be the same as he wanted?

"My grandfather wouldn't want his recipe to fall into your hands!" Wen Tongming said.

Xue Lei's face changed. In fact, Wen Tongming said it well. They had thought about a recipe for purchasing Wen Jinping a long time ago, but unfortunately they were rejected repeatedly.

As Wen Tongming said, if Wen Jinping wanted to give it, he would have given it long ago. This situation would not have happened today.

"Hmph! Don't forget, I have a 'handle' in my hand!" Xue Lei said in a deep voice.

"Don't deceive yourself. If your so-called "handle" is useful, I'm afraid you won't wait until now." Wen Jinping sneered.

Xue Lei's face changed. He really had no good idea. Now he took advantage of Wen Jinping's illness and was hospitalized, and wanted to make some trips to force Wen Jinping's son to hand over the recipe, but he didn't expect Wen Jinping's grandson to be so difficult!

"You can agree to the bet, but... the conditions have to change..." Xue Lei said in a deep voice.
