Chapter 2
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Mingzhe looked at Master Chu with a surprised expression, his tone filled with disbelief.
Did he hear that right? Are you kidding me?
While your cooking skills may be impressive, it doesn't mean you can cook!
You were invited to OMG for a tryout as a support player, not a chef!
However, upon hearing the question, Master Chu's expression became exceptionally solemn, and his tone was incredibly firm:
"Yes, I'll give it a try."
The opportunity was right in front of him, so naturally he had to seize it.
Mingzhe thought it was ridiculous and instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, seeing Master Chu's serious expression, he realized that Master Chu was not joking.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
Although Mingzhe hesitated for a moment, he finally gestured for him to proceed.
He still felt a little embarrassed. He had originally planned to invite Master Chu to have a meal, but now he was the one who had to let Master Chu cook for him.
Seeing that Mingzhe had agreed to the matter, Master Chu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was overjoyed.
Hopefully, this time, his culinary skills will win over everyone at OMG.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Master Chu had already plunged into the kitchen and begun his work.
He skillfully tied on his apron, weighed the wok on the stove, and briefly checked the types and locations of the various seasonings.
Because of the master-level culinary skills provided by the system, he felt as if he had done these operations thousands of times without any stagnation.
Seeing Chu Shi's skillful operation and impressive demeanor, Mingzhe and the OMG team members exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Even Sima, the old scoundrel known for his stern face, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
No, you're serious!
Heat the pan and turn on the heat.
At this moment, Master Chu was only thinking about making a good meal and winning over the OMG team, and he didn't pay any attention to their expressions.
Thirty minutes later, as the last dish was served, Master Chu took off his apron.
"That's all, please enjoy!"
He walked to the dining table, spread his hands, and there were six dishes laid out on the table.
Kung Pao Chicken, Stir-fried Bamboo Shoots, Braised Pork Belly with Dried Green Beans...
Looking at the still steaming dishes, the already hungry OMG members began to swallow their saliva repeatedly.
Although they hadn't tasted the food, they could tell from its color and aroma that it was something special.
"Don't wait any longer, Master Chu has already finished making it, let's begin!"
Since it was already late for dinner, Mingzhe, whose stomach was already rebelling, didn't stand on ceremony.
Upon receiving the coach's order, everyone took their seats. The OMG members, who were already starving, didn't care about anything else and all grabbed their chopsticks.
The top laner, Xiyang, was the first to put the dish in his mouth. The moment the flavor filled his mouth, words of praise immediately came out.
"It tastes so good! I think it's even better than what your aunt makes!"
At this moment, his previous dissatisfaction with Master Chu during the training match had completely vanished.
Master Chu simply nodded silently, observing the reactions of the others.
Unlike the sunset, the others didn't openly praise it; they simply nodded silently in agreement.
Icon, the young master, didn't even swallow his food before giving Chu Shi a thumbs up.
Mingzhe, who hadn't touched his chopsticks until now, looked at the reactions of his teammates and stopped putting on airs as a coach, reaching out to try the dishes prepared by Master Chu.
The moment the diced chicken entered his mouth, his eyes lit up, and even his gaze towards Master Chu softened.
I never expected this!
You, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, can actually cook!
His culinary skills alone make him a worthy candidate to stay and work as a chef.
Meanwhile, the sun, having thoroughly enjoyed his meal, had already digested two bowls of rice. He put down his chopsticks, let out a satisfied burp, and finished his meal.
"That's delicious, bro! You're really good at this; it's a shame you're not a chef!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang in Master Chu's mind.
"OMG. Sunset approves of your culinary skills! You've earned a chance to draw a top lane champion with maxed-out mastery!"
Master Chu's eyes lit up.
Wow, master-level culinary skills are truly amazing.
Just one meal was enough to earn the sunset's approval and the reward of a hero with maxed-out proficiency.
I just wonder what hero he'll get this time?
At the same time, the cafeteria door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a suit carrying many lunch boxes in his hands walked in.
"You must be starving, right? I packed lunch for you..."
The man in the suit held up the lunchbox in his hand, but before he could finish speaking, he noticed the situation on the table.
The club members sat around the table, all enjoying the food.
What's going on? I don't have a cook either.
Where did the food come from? Who cooked it?
"Manager Li, you're back," Mingzhe hurriedly replied.
The man in the suit in front of me is none other than Li Chuan, the general manager of OMG.
"Mingzhe, come out here for a moment, I need to ask you something."
Completely bewildered, Li Chuan casually placed the lunchbox on the table and walked out of the cafeteria without looking back.
Although Mingzhe was somewhat reluctant, he still put down his chopsticks and bowl.
After learning everything, Li Chuan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The people on trial are actually cooking?
And it seems like it's done quite well?
What is all this about?
If it weren't for the large number of people in the cafeteria, Li Chuanzhen would have suspected that Mingzhe was playing a trick on him.
"This guy is really on trial, how did he perform?" Li Chuan couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, the earlier performance was pretty good, but the last wave was really awful," Mingzhe replied, while simultaneously questioning, "But you, why didn't you tell me no one was cooking lunch?"
Li Chuan frowned as soon as the topic of lunch was brought up.
Teacher Chu's matter was a minor issue; the cook's matter was what truly troubled him.
"I found it, but they complained that the price was too low and wanted to pay more. You know the club's budget is tight, so I had to go out and pack it up and bring it back."
At present, the situation within the OMG club is not optimistic.
Among the many clubs in the league, apart from one or two top clubs, very few are profitable.
OMG's performance was already poor, so this was no exception.
With less investment from the owner, a poor overall environment, and only one peripheral brand remaining as a sponsor, the club has almost no source of income.
If it weren't for the transfer fee from Formo, which recouped some of the losses, the club probably wouldn't have been able to pay the salaries of most of its players.
In this situation, every expense within the club must be carefully calculated, which naturally includes the cook's salary.
Moreover, the club's performance last year was very poor.
In order to deal with the online public opinion, OMG also needs to strengthen its personnel.
Even if it can't change OMG's league performance, it can at least shut up the netizens.
"I have an idea."
Upon hearing Li Chuan's complaints, Mingzhe's mind stirred, and an idea immediately came to mind.
The two things the manager cares about seem unrelated, but there is currently a candidate who seems to fit the bill perfectly.
