Chapter 382: Manuscripts Owed
The test was completed, and Gu Zheng was no longer so nervous. After going to Liang's house to make a delicious meal to thank him, Gu Zheng returned home and stayed leisurely for a few days.
He originally wanted to meet up with Du Yang and the others, but one of the three of them had just been promoted and was busy taking over the work at hand, with almost no free time. The other one had already found a house and was renovating it, so he had to do his job well. Photo studio.
The other one has returned to his hometown, studying every day, preparing for the civil service exam, and trying to pass the exam in one go. The three of them are busy, so Gu Zheng will not disturb them and just relax at home.
“The Ancient Master Chef!”
Just after two days of leisure, the phone rang suddenly. It was Mumu calling. When the call was connected, Mumu's teasing voice came out.
"Mubian, you are so free!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly called Haha. Mumu's call must be up to no good. He had long been used to it.
"Chef Gu, although you are now the number one chef in the country, the debt we owe should always be repaid. There is still one manuscript you promised me last time that has not been handed in. When will it be handed in?"
Mumu didn't shout directly to urge the manuscript like before, but was more polite, but being polite was also urging the manuscript.
In fact, Mumu had no choice. She didn't want to make this call. It was the director who urged him to make the call. She was the only one who had the closest relationship and familiarity with Gu Zheng in the entire channel. Now the food channel's traffic has dropped sharply, and everyone from top to bottom has been criticized, so I want to find Gu Zheng to write an article and increase traffic.
Today's Gu Zheng is no longer an ordinary food critic. He is the new chef god in the country. No matter what manuscript he writes, many people will definitely read it, and the traffic will definitely increase by then.
Mumu had no choice but to make this call, just to ask her to beg Gu Zheng, but she couldn't do it. It happened that Gu Zheng promised her three manuscripts last time, but in the end he only gave her two, and she still owed the next one. This will lead to debt.
"Yes, yes, editor Mu, don't worry, I will hand over this manuscript to you soon!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly agreed, and this was indeed what he had said before. As a result, there were many things, delays, and Mumu called to urge him, so he definitely couldn't continue.
Fortunately, there is only one article left. I have nothing to do recently, so I can go out for a walk and write a good article. Speaking of which, he has not written an article for a long time. Food critic is his main job.
"You, you agreed?"
Mumu on the other side of the phone was in a daze. She didn't expect Gu Zheng to agree so readily. She thought she would have to beg in the end to get Gu Zheng to agree.
After all, Gu Zheng's identity is different now. He is the first in the national food competition, the most famous celebrity chef in the country, and he also has his own business. She is very clear about how popular Gu Ji's chicken blood soup business is. On the website There have been more than ten manuscripts written about Guji Chicken Blood Soup.
Good business means good benefits. Nowadays, Guzheng is not short of money at all, so it doesn’t look down on their small remuneration. The money Guji Chicken Blood Soup makes in a day is more than their commentator who gets the most remuneration. Much.
In other words, the money Guji Chicken Blood Soup makes in one day is comparable to the total remuneration they send out in a month. After all, they are just a channel, and a small channel at that.
Under such circumstances, she was a little surprised that Gu Zheng could agree so readily.
"Of course, don't worry, Editor, I will definitely give you the manuscript in three days, five days at most!"
Gu Zheng said hurriedly. He didn't know what Mumu was thinking at this time. He only knew that this was indeed a debt he owed. Besides, he didn't want to give up his job as a food critic now. He might as well write more when he had time. The writing is good.
"Okay, Gu Zheng, thank you, you haven't changed at all!"
After a while, Mumu thanked him, and his voice was much gentler than before, which made Gu Zheng very confused.
But Mumu is right about one thing. Gu Zheng has indeed not changed. He is still the same Gu Zheng. His attitude toward people has not changed because he has made more money and is famous. This was the case in Gu Zheng before. I will also ensure that every time I push the manuscript, the current ancient controversy is still the same.
However, Mumu didn't feel anything before and everything was taken for granted, but now, it made her feel deeply.
Once a person's identity and status change, even if he is doing the same thing as before, it will be different for many people. Mumu now deeply understands this.
"Okay, I have something to do, I can't stay at home anymore!"
After putting down the phone, Gu Zheng stood up and stretched. He hadn't written a manuscript for a long time and missed this job.
Food reviews sound very simple. You just need to find a food and write a review. In fact, it is not like that. First of all, the food you are looking for must have characteristics, not the kind you can eat casually on the street. It will not work if it has no characteristics.
The second thing is that you either criticize or praise. Regardless of whether you criticize or praise, there are supporters and opponents. There will definitely be people here who will taste what you said. Once what you write does not match, they will come over to expose you and criticize you. is a liar.
Therefore, food articles must be taken seriously, otherwise it will easily damage one's own brand. Gu Zheng's current brand is quite good, but he does not want to be ruined just like that.
After packing up and going out, Gu Zheng walked to the subway station alone.
"Brother, do you want to take the driver's license test?"
As soon as he arrived at the subway station, a young man came up to him and asked quickly. This familiar scene left Gu Zheng stunned.
At the beginning, it was a little girl who asked him that. He even signed up for it, and then was spotted by Ouyang Hai. After that, Ouyang Hai followed him and became his strongest fighter.
"Sorry, I've already signed up!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly. After hearing that Gu Zheng had signed up, the man stopped pestering him and asked other people.
Speaking of which, Gu Zheng has not taken a test since he signed up, and he doesn't know if the people from the driving school have contacted him. Anyway, his mobile phone often had no signal before and could not be contacted.
A driver's license is still needed. If you have time, you should get your driver's license, so that it will be convenient for you to drive yourself in the future.
Although he has no problem driving without a driver's license now, even if he is caught by the traffic police, he can use illusion to pass the test, but that is not good. It is still more stable to have a driver's license.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng took out his mobile phone and called the driving school to ask.
"Gu Zheng, right? We have tried to contact you many times, but we have not been able to reach you. You should have taken the exam a long time ago. See when you have time. OK, I will arrange it for you right now. It will be in a week. You will take the exam in a week. You can read more books these few days. The first one is the theory exam!"
The call was connected quickly. The driving school was very responsible. After finding Gu Zheng's name, they immediately made arrangements. After hanging up the phone, Gu Zheng entered the subway station. The most important task at present was to complete the food manuscript first.
Gu Zheng did not run to the city center. Most of the food in the city center has not been written about. It is not easy to find a special one. Besides, Gu Zheng did not want to criticize again this time. He wanted to find a real special food to comment on.
It was okay to criticize him before, after all, he was not famous. Now criticizing him may not even have the effect of criticism.
Gu Zheng's criticism is not very effective now. Even if he criticizes, people will say that we accept the criticism from the number one in the country. Anyway, we can't do better than Gu Zheng.
This is not Gu Zheng's guess. Gu Zheng's article was pulled out by merchants before.
They wanted to strangle Gu Zheng to death for the critical articles, but now that Gu Zheng has become famous, he has immediately become their pride. Some people even printed out Gu Zheng's articles and put them in the store for customers to read.
Let's not talk about Gu Zheng's criticism, at least this is a restaurant that Gu Zheng has eaten and commented on. It is a great achievement for Gu Zheng to come.
This is the change after a person becomes famous.
So Gu Zheng is not going to write a critical article this time. He will write a food that is truly unique and worthy of praise. As long as it tastes really good, Gu Zheng will help him advertise for free.
Gu Zheng took the subway directly to the train station and the high-speed rail station. He didn't care about the place. He bought the nearest car and went directly to the nearby city.
Gu Zheng bought a ticket to Hangzhou. He and Hangzhou are also destined. His road to fame started in Hangzhou.
Gu Zheng became famous in the Hangzhou Food Competition. After that, he became the most popular chef in the national food competition.
The high-speed train goes to Hangzhou very quickly. After arriving in Hangzhou, Gu Zheng randomly hired a car at the station and asked the driver to take him to places he thought were delicious.
Many delicacies in Hangzhou have been written about, but compared to Shanghai, there are much fewer. After all, the headquarters of the food channel is in Shanghai, so Shanghai is written about the most.
There is no need to go to the most famous places, because they have been written about too much. Gu Zheng asked the master to take him to places with good reputation among the people, especially some small shops, so that he might find really delicious food.
