Jiang Yu’s words left all the teachers present stunned, and for a mont, the entire room was silent; you could even hear a pin drop.
After a while, Vice Principal He and the others finally ca to their senses. He turned around and looked at Jiang Yu deeply, his admiration openly visible in his eyes.
As if saying, "Xiaojiang, you really are sothing; you’re truly the ’treasure’ of Jiang University!"
"Jiang, you’re right; I didn’t think it through. What’s suitable for oneself is indeed the best! Besides, no one can deny that Jiang University is an extrely outstanding institution; otherwise, why would we choose to collaborate with Jiang University?"
Professor Hans, however, sighed quietly, feeling a bit regretful.
After tasting the dishes Jiang Yu prepared, he was initially amazed and thought the trip was worthwhile. The reason he requested to et Jiang Yu was simply due to "gentlemanly courtesy," wanting to express so gratitude.
But upon eting Jiang Yu and discovering his young age and exceptional eloquence, he imdiately realized this young man was extraordinary, subconsciously wanting to "poach" him away.
To have such extraordinary culinary skills at such a young age, there’s no doubt that he is a prodigy with amazing talent in the culinary arts!
Such professional talent naturally deserves strong recruitnt efforts.
Unfortunately, even though Jianqiao University in the Sun Never Sets is renowned internationally, it still couldn’t sway this young man before him.
However, he wasn’t ready to give up, and with a faint smile, he said,
"But there’s no need to rush to refuse. This ti, our visit to Huaxia and Jiang University is just one part of our exchange. Our delegation will also visit other universities in Huaxia and will probably return ho in about half a month.
During this period, you can carefully consider my proposal. If you have any ideas, feel free to contact anyti."
As he said this, he took out a finely crafted business card from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Yu.
Seeing this, Vice Principal He almost ground his teeth to pieces; this stubborn foreigner just wouldn’t give up!
He suddenly felt a sense of urgency, realizing that like the other leaders of Jiang University, they had all overlooked one fact:
With Jiang Yu and the Seventh Dining Hall gaining more and more fa, inevitably, more people would beco interested in him. Today there’s this Professor Hans; tomorrow, there might be another Professor Hanks!
Besides, who says only foreigners are interested in Jiang Yu? There would be even more interest from within the country. Those famous hotel chains and dining groups, for example, were surely already eager for Jiang Yu, just not having taken action yet.
Even dostic universities might have been eying Jiang Yu enviously, seeing Jiang University’s rising reputation due to Jiang Yu and the Seventh Dining Hall. They might already be considering what terms they could offer to "poach" Jiang Yu away!
For Jiang University, this isn’t good news!
The "treasure" they cherish so much that they’re afraid of dropping, afraid of lting in their mouths—if taken by soone else, how could that be tolerated?
To outsiders, it would appear as if the leaders of Jiang University are incapable and lack resolve, unable to even keep their own students!
This would be a complete face-slap!
Therefore, this matter must be taken seriously, no matter the cost. They must ensure Jiang Yu stays and cannot let him be "poached" by others!
This is not just about face but also about the loss of talent, which is the most crucial issue.
If it weren’t so late, he would have imdiately sought out the principal and other officials to discuss how to keep Jiang Yu from being swayed by outside temptations, ensuring he continues to stay at Jiang University, at the Seventh Dining Hall.
In that mont, Vice Principal He thought of many things, to the point where his brow furrowed deeply like the character "chuan" (川).
On the other side, Jiang Yu wasn’t thinking about any of this. He reached out his hands, accepted Professor Hans’s business card, and with a detached smile, said:
"Alright, thanks again for the complints, Professor Hans!"
Saying no once was enough; too much rejection becos pointless.
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Jiang Yu spoke with Vice Principal He, and then turned to leave the room, heading back to the kitchen to get busy again.
He, along with Du Guangning and the others, had just finished up, and all the waitstaff were still hungry. They needed to quickly go back to stir-fry a few dishes to fill their stomachs; otherwise, they’d really faint from hunger.
In the "Winter" private room, Professor Hans smacked his lips, still feeling so regret. But talent recruitnt is not sothing to be forced; there’s nothing they can do. Seeing Jiang Yu had already left, he rose from his seat to bid farewell to Vice Principal He and others, preparing to return to the hotel to rest.
Vice Principal He, at this mont, was still worried about how to prevent others from "poaching" Jiang Yu, having no mind to pay attention to Professor Hans.
He absent-mindedly made a few perfunctory words and, along with the other two departnt heads, saw Professor Hans and his team to the dining hall’s entrance before parting ways.
...
The Seventh Dining Hall does not serve breakfast.
Thus, early the next day, Professor Hans and the mbers of the visiting delegation had their breakfast on the first floor of the Seventh Dining Hall.
When it cos to food from Sun Never Sets, most people’s first reaction might be to think of bizarre cuisine.
Various dark puddings, Sun Never Sets’s "national dish" haggis, jellied eels, and the recent internet-famous bizarre dish "stargazy pie" in the dark culinary world...
