Chapter 1279 Star-Making Plan

That afternoon, everyone reunited at the venue. This time, the president of the association personally announced the list of new members who had successfully joined the association.

Fu Yu sat quietly below, waiting to go on stage to receive the certificate of employment.

At noon, He Jie had received a private notice that Fu Yu had been successfully selected into the International Gourmet Association. A total of three people from China were selected. The other two, one of whom was a member of the special research group, and the other was a master in the domestic food circle.

Fu Yu had a plan in mind, and when he went on stage, he was very calm.

As the youngest, most handsome, and best-looking person among the selected candidates, when Fu Yu went on stage, the atmosphere of the whole venue became much more heated.

Many media were even more excited. Fu Yu was actually successfully selected into the Gourmet Association. The next step was to participate in the election of the association committee.

After announcing the list of members, the president of the International Gourmet Association spoke and announced that this new member recruitment activity had successfully ended.

This is a very grand event for the international food circle.

The addition of new members means that the International Gourmet Association will usher in a new period of development.

The new members will also bring more investment funds and development projects to the International Gourmet Association, and they will devote more energy to the field of international cuisine.

Not everyone is obsessed with the competition for power. Many people are more keen on the exchange and mutual learning of cooking.

This will also bring more innovative ideas for cooking and the integration of cooking experience.

After the speech of the President of the International Gourmet Association, he officially welcomed the new members on behalf of all members!

Everyone present applauded and cheered warmly.

After all the new members got their own membership certificates, the next time was to visit the office building of the Gourmet Association and introduce themselves to other members of the association.

In the evening, everyone gathered together and attended a very grand and grand dinner.

The dinner lasted until late at night.

Fu Yu slept well that night, because he went back to the hotel room to rest, so he didn't know that a hot search suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.

The content was to congratulate him on his successful selection into the International Gourmet Association, and it also included a paragraph of his judgment during an interview with international media. At that time, he vowed to announce that after his successful admission, he would participate in the election campaign for the association's committee members.

At the same time, the video also edited some related content of Fu Yu's previous public challenge to Justin.

Originally, it was just being selected into the International Gourmet Association, which would not cause too much sensation, but when it rose to the competition between the representatives of the two countries' food circles, the popularity suddenly rose sharply.

This was still late at night. When Fu Yu got up the next morning, this hot search news had directly risen to the fifth place. Basically, as long as you open the hot search, you will see Fu Yu's name at first sight.

The next morning, Fu Yu just arrived at the buffet restaurant and was pulled by He Jie to look at the hot search on his mobile phone.

He Jie said happily: "Not bad, the association was planning to buy two hot searches before, and promote this international event online to increase the attention of the domestic food circle. Now I can borrow your light, without spending a penny, and the effect is even better."

Fu Yu only knew at this time that he had once again been on the hot search.

He ate breakfast and looked at the relevant comments under the hot search. Fortunately, most of them praised him for winning glory for the country. There were also many who encouraged him and wished him to defeat Justin and be promoted to a committee member.

Originally, it was just a competition between him and Justin's group, but now it has been directly sublimated to a confrontation between the two countries' food circles.

A warm current surged in Fu Yu's heart. The sense of mission from national pride made him suddenly have the urge to rub his hands and do a big job.

He Jie smiled and picked up the juice cup and clinked it with Fu Yu's porridge bowl: "Come on!"

Fu Yu smiled and nodded seriously: "I will!"

The atmosphere in the venue today was more enthusiastic than yesterday.

Everyone present was very excited, waiting for the most critical part of this event, which was also the most concerned part of everyone present, the nomination of association members.

There are 150 people on the list of applications passed this time. At first glance, there are many people, but if it is evenly distributed to each country, there are actually very few places, and some countries have not even been nominated at all.

And nomination is just the beginning of the campaign.

Next is the most critical selection process, in which the famous bigwigs in the international food circle will nominate members, and then the voting will take place.

The conference room is very large, and the judges and designated judges of this campaign are sitting in the first two rows, including the leaders of the Food Association, the members of the International Cultural Department, the principals of the International Food Cooking School, and the outstanding leaders of famous food journals.

It is precisely because of this that He Jie and others have been silent since they entered the venue.

The heavyweights present are all bigwigs who have been active in the international food circle for many years. In this way, the difficulty of Fu Yu's election as a member of the association has increased a lot.

After all, he is not well-known in the international food circle now, and he has not even achieved outstanding results that are amazing and praiseworthy.

Fu Yu's qualifications are too shallow. In a limited time, although he has always performed well, he is still too young and too thin compared to those old people in the food circle who have been struggling in the circle for more than ten years, even decades, with wide connections and rich resources.

But there is no way, in fact, Fu Yu is really good enough.

When the selection began, everyone here began to become nervous, and everyone was very curious about the recommended personnel.

Regardless of whether the nomination is successful or not, having actually been nominated is considered very impressive.

"Alvin Callum York, 49."

"John Griffith, 54 years old."

The venue fell silent for a moment. As the name of each elected person was read out, a corresponding personal introduction appeared on the big screen, and the reasons for being selected were explained in detail.

These people have achieved various outstanding achievements in the food circle.

Each person who is eligible for selection has five spots on hand.

When it was Eric's turn, he read out the names of the four people first, and finally said loudly: "The last outstanding chef I recommended is Fu Yu from China, who is 24 years old this year!"

After the name of this selector appeared, the entire venue immediately became excited.

When Fu Yu was nominated before, everyone was already prepared and he would successfully enter the campaign.

After all, he is very hot now, and everyone is looking forward to the scene where he and Justin are on the same stage.

But now, no one thought that the person who recommended Fu Yu would be Eric!

After Eric said Fu Yu's name, he began to introduce him dutifully: "This is a rising star in the Chinese food circle. He can also be said to be a cooking genius. He is 24 years old and has won the National Cooking Competition. The champion, served as a member of the Domestic Food Association, innovated and improved 17 dishes, successfully issued a very excellent and teaching reference cooking guide, and served as the general leader of the domestic special research group.”

"This is a young man who is talented and works very hard! He has a very strong ability to accept and understand new things. He has very unique ideas and insights into the development direction of the food circle. He is a rare person. Food industry talent! ”

"The reason why I recommend Fu Yu: he is young, capable, has a high level of cooking, and can be promoted to the position of association member!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked!

When Eric recommended the other four people before, he did not nod so confidently and directly said that the other person was qualified for the position of committee member.

He only mentioned Fu Yu.

At this moment, everyone was astonished and focused entirely on the detailed introduction about Fu Yu on the big screen.

Eric's approach was undoubtedly a public canvassing for Fu Yu.

For a time, the entire venue began to talk.

No one expected that such an explosive scene would occur at the beginning of the campaign.

And Justin, who was sitting in the fourth row and was eagerly looking forward to his elector taking the stage, changed his expression and stared at Eric with a pair of dark eyes, full of resentment!

For today, he had made sufficient preparations, spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build momentum, and tried every means to maintain his popularity, but he did not expect to encounter such a situation at the most critical moment.

Justin was extremely angry and annoyed at this moment, but when he looked at the photo of Fu Yu on the big screen, he was indeed very young and energetic.

However, it was just a recommendation from Eric, no big deal.

Justin took a deep breath to calm himself down.

At this time, many people from China were extremely excited. Chef Eric is a senior in the food circle that they all respect very much. He is very popular. He has even admired Chinese food culture from the beginning.

Now that Fu Yu can get his recommendation, this weight is still very important.

This can even be supported by many of Eric's connections.

Many media in the venue were also excited. They were originally worried that Fu Yu was too young and entered the industry too late, so he would be crushed by Justin too easily, and the popularity of this incident would fade away.

Now it seems that this time the confrontation will be very exciting!

But Fu Yu was very surprised. He looked at Eric in disbelief. He was stunned and a little moved at the same time.

What Eric did at this time was equivalent to a direct statement. Among the five recommenders, Fu Yu was the one he was most optimistic about.

In this way, it is equivalent to Eric giving up on nominating his own people to compete for the membership of the association.

Not only Fu Yu thought this, but many people who supported Eric were also surprised. Did he not plan to let his people participate in the election?

The four people recommended earlier are all to help Fu Yu successfully serve as a member of the association?

Because of Eric's actions, Fu Yu's attention increased significantly for a while.

Among the next selectors, three people from China were nominated one after another, and their selectors were also relatively well-known figures in the world.

All of a sudden, everyone in the China area became completely excited. It was already very difficult to have 4 people selected.

After all, a total of 150 people were nominated, and only 75 were finally selected.

After all the nominees were announced, it was lunch break.

Lunch was a very sumptuous buffet arranged by the event organizer.

However, most people simply ate a little and spent more time discussing voting in the afternoon.

It is a great honor to be a member of the International Gastronomy Association.

Everyone who is qualified to be selected represents the food circle of his or her country at this time.

Among the 75 people, 25 will be officially selected in the end. The probability is three to one. For every three people, two will lose and one will advance.

For a moment, everyone became nervous.

Even He Jie and others were also worried at this time.

They silently expected that the nominees from their own country would be able to enter smoothly, and privately, they hoped that Fu Yu, who had a very good relationship with them, would be elected smoothly.

Fu Yu didn't eat much either. He had no appetite. He was excited and a little nervous.

Soon it was afternoon and the voting began.

Everyone stared at the big screen intently.

The nominees prayed silently, hoping that they could be successfully selected.

Fu Yu was also looking forward to it. His heart was beating like a drum at this time, and he didn't notice that Justin suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

At this time, the atmosphere in the venue was tense and solemn.

At the same time, many media inside the venue had begun to broadcast live reports in real time.

And among these media, many have backgrounds in professional journals and magazines.

Among them, the famous cooking magazine that cooperated with Fu Yu to serialize the cooking guide had predicted the list of candidates for the International Gourmet Association early in the morning.

Since Fu Yu is their partner, they must support their own people. Their magazine directly published the prediction of Fu Yu's election in this month's issue.

There are those who support Fu Yu, and naturally there are those who are not optimistic. A food magazine that has always been hostile to this magazine immediately regarded Fu Yu as a thorn in its side after hearing that the opponent was going to change the page to publish a new cooking guide.

So when they found out that the opponent was going to raise the banner for Fu Yu in the content of this month's issue, they immediately added a comment temporarily.

The content directly pointed out Fu Yu. They believed that Fu Yu did not have the ability to publish a cooking guide. Whether it was his qualifications or his personal strength, he was far from being able to compile and complete the guide.

They firmly believed that this was a star-making plan in the Chinese food circle.

They even analyzed Fu Yu's previous cooking operations and publicly mocked his ability to identify cooking operations and his personal cooking level.

The magazine was not originally good at academic content, and the reason it is so popular now is that the person in charge took a different approach and took the gossip route of the food industry, specifically digging deep into and complaining about controversial people in the food industry.
