Watching the handsome Jiang Ning, both Li Yao and Hong Yueyin's cheeks flushed.
Li Yao turned to Hong Yueyin and said, "Alright, since Mengmeng is better, Xiao Yinyin, I need to go to work. What about you?"
Hong Yueyin pouted, "Fine, I'll go too. I'm clearly just extra here. I don't want to wait for Mengmeng to wake up and see me as a patient again, with Jiang Ning taking care of me as a nurse."
Li Yao continued, "What about dinner?"
The two women exchanged glances and smiled knowingly, "We'll pack up and come back on time to freeload dinner, of course."
With that, they embraced each other's waists and walked out of the villa with light steps.
Five minutes later.
"Ding"
"Congratulations to the Host, the Primary Fairy Tale Level has been upgraded to Intermediate Fairy Tale Level."
In an instant, a massive amount of fairy tales, writing skills, and content introductions flooded Jiang Ning's mind like a tide.
With these, plus what he had obtained in the primary stage, it was enough to meet Mengmeng's bedtime story needs for the next two months.
Half an hour passed, and Mengmeng gradually drifted off to sleep.
Jiang Ning gently tucked the covers around her, his movements so soft he was afraid of disturbing the peace, and then he carefully walked out of the bedroom.
He first went to the first floor, then to the third floor, but found that Li Yao and Hong Yueyin had already left.
The entire villa was enveloped in silence, so quiet that he could hear his own breathing.
At this moment, Jiang Ning finally had some free time and opened Huayin's account.
"Why are there so many fans?"
Jiang Ning couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
At this moment, the number of fans on his account had already exceeded forty thousand.
The comments were overwhelming, the number of likes was countless, and the private messages had piled up like a mountain.
Jiang Ning skipped the comments directly. After all, there were praises and also nasty insults from haters, and he didn't want to let those affect his mood.
Therefore, he focused on checking the private messages.
But the private messages were also so numerous that they were dazzling.
"Esteemed 'Young Dad' Master, the Supreme Hotel cordially invites you, our Huaxin… my contact information is…"
"Hello, I am from Zhenbin Hotel. Mr. 'Young Dad,' please reply to the private message..."
"Emperor Hotel warmly welcomes the great 'Young Dad' to join our family..."
"We are from New Western Culinary School..."
Most of them were private messages of invitation from hotels, and there were also some culinary schools that wanted to hire him as a mentor.
After Jiang Ning finished reading, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
It seemed that after three months of the "Young Dad" work, he wouldn't have to worry about not having a job.
However, two of the private messages surprised Jiang Ning.
A message came from the State Guesthouse, inviting him to join the chef team of the State Guesthouse's catering department.
Joining the State Guesthouse's catering department meant spending all day cooking for foreign guests, with strict checks and controls for entry and exit, and the need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
These requirements made Jiang Ning feel a bit resistant.
Another message was sent by a representative of the culinary world from the Kyoto Tang Clan Group.
The content was that they hoped he could participate in the second Chef God Competition next year.
This message successfully piqued Jiang Ning's interest.
Nowadays, those who participate in the Chef God Competition all have teams, with apprentices and assistants helping out. It would indeed be somewhat difficult to compete alone.
However, there was still some time before next year's competition, so there was no need to rush. He would wait and see after taking care of Mengmeng for the next three months.
"Hello. This is Huayin's 'Young Dad', may I speak to Mr. Tang?"
Jiang Ning decided to call the other party back.
"Hello, Master 'Young Dad', I've been waiting for your call. I'm Tang Hecai, it's a pleasure to meet you."
A warm voice came from the phone.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Tang, I've been busy lately and haven't been able to reply to your private message in time," Jiang Ning said politely.
"It doesn't matter, Master Jiang, are you interested in participating in next year's second Chef God Competition?" Tang Hecai got straight to the point.
"Mr. Tang, I'm Jiang Ning, you can just call me Little Jiang.
"Everyone who participates in the Chef God Competition needs a team, but I'm just one person."
Jiang Ning voiced his concerns.
"Haha, Master Jiang, with your mid-stage Grandmaster culinary skills, it's truly fitting to call you Master." Tang Hecai responded with a smile.
"Alright, just call me whatever you like, President Tang."
Jiang Ning didn't want to get too hung up on titles.
Ever since the last Huayin video, where Huayin's chief planner, Wu Lianqu, called him Master Jiang, now the Tang Clan Group's President Tang was doing the same, so he just let them be.
"Master Jiang, as long as you want to participate, you don't need to worry about the team. Our Tang Clan will handle it for you. However, we have a small request." Tang Hecai changed the subject.
"President Tang, feel free to speak." Jiang Ning replied.
"That's the thing, Master Jiang. If you can sign a one-year agreement with our Tang Clan, we are willing to pay a signing bonus of 100 million."
"You only need to represent the Tang Clan to participate in the Chef God Competition."
"After the competition ends, regardless of the result, the agreement will automatically be terminated."
Hearing the number "100 million," Jiang Ning was instantly stunned.
He had only graduated from university for two years. For him, 100 million was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
"Then, what exactly would I need to do during the agreement period?"
Jiang Ning steadied his nerves and asked.
"Master Jiang, the competition won't start until next year in May. There's still more than a year from now."
During this time, you only need to research six to eight dishes.
We will unconditionally provide the top-tier ingredients and team support you need."
"Mr. Tang, but I'm helping a friend right now, being a temporary Young Dad," Jiang Ning said honestly.
"Helping a friend be a temporary Young Dad? Not your own child?" Tang Hecai was somewhat surprised.
"No," Jiang Ning answered affirmatively.
"Master Jiang, with your culinary skills, your friend actually asked you to be a temporary Young Dad? This is really beyond my expectations. So, how long is the temporary arrangement?"
"It's said to be three months."
Tang Hecai tapped lightly on the desk, thinking for a moment before saying, "Three months... How about this, Master Jiang, if you confirm that you will represent the Tang Clan to participate and sign the agreement…
"Our group will purchase a house in your city, near your home, and we'll also send an assistant to help you.
You'll be busy all day, right? How about you spend two or three hours a day researching dishes for the competition?"
"That's not a bad suggestion, Director Tang, but I think it's a bit hasty to decide now.
We should wait three months before making a decision, what do you think?" Jiang Ning said.
Tang Hecai's tone was a little anxious: "We can't wait another three months; it would be even more pressing then. I'm afraid that Master Jiang won't have enough time to research so many dishes, especially since many require top-tier ingredients."
"How about this, Director Tang? I'll consider it. Your information did come a bit suddenly, so give me some time to think it over."
"Okay, that's fine, Master Jiang. I'll add you on Huaxin later. Send me your location, and I'll send you the information on each competition team, as well as the winning information."
Jiang Ning: "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Goodbye."
Tang Hecai: "Mmh, I'm hanging up."
"Beep beep beep"
