Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 506: Chapter 506: Brainwashing (2 chapters combined into one)

Besides, with so many people in Belfard, it’s not certain whether they will think highly of your restaurant.

It may taste good here, but in Belfard, the dishes might seem ordinary.

And open a branch?

Don’t even talk about opening a branch, first ensure that the first restaurant in Belfard can survive, then talk about it!

“Have you selected the staff for your restaurant in Belfard, like chefs, waiters, and the like?” Zoe Silverstone asked.

“Not yet,” Wendy Clarke thought Zoe Silverstone wanted to recommend herself.

But Wendy Clarke didn’t think much of Zoe Silverstone’s cooking skills.

“I plan to recruit and select people then. They must have experience working in a big restaurant. They must match our high-end restaurant,” Wendy Clarke said.

Meaning that Zoe Silverstone shouldn’t think about it.

This time, Zoe Silverstone didn’t catch Wendy Clarke’s meaning.

Because she didn’t even think about doing this.

Who would want to work in a busy kitchen all day?

Zoe Silverstone then said, “If you need help, feel free to tell me; I know quite a few excellent chefs.”

Wendy Clarke’s eyes lit up and said, “Don’t mention it, I really do.”

“Oh?” Zoe Silverstone replied.

Wendy Clarke said, “I watched the live broadcast of the competition today. Joseph Tanner, who was eliminated, I feel quite sorry for him.”

“He’s talented and ranked high among the contestants. It’s just that he didn’t do well today, so he got eliminated. Otherwise, he should have advanced today,” Wendy Clarke said.

Before, Wendy Clarke had talked with Christy Xenos. At that time, they didn’t know that Cindy Clarke was also participating in the Cooking Competition.

Wendy Clarke watched the Cooking Competition with the purpose of finding contestants with good cooking skills but unlucky eliminations.

Joseph Tanner fit her requirements.

He was ranked high in cooking skills, but his luck was really bad.

Besides, Joseph Tanner reached the top 15 and was eliminated early, making it difficult for people to remember his name.

Even if he applied to a restaurant, it would be hard to use this experience to add points for himself.

As for being a head chef, it would be tough for him to make it into a famous restaurant.

And undoubtedly, he would not be interested in the restaurants that would let him be the head chef.

Wendy Clarke felt lucky. She had hoped to meet such a person, and now she had.

No one was more suitable than Joseph Tanner.

Most importantly, judging by Joseph Tanner’s reaction when he lost the competition, he probably blamed Cindy Clarke for his failure.

Even across the screen, Wendy Clarke could sense Joseph Tanner’s anger toward Cindy Clarke’s meddling.

Behind the camera, Joseph Tanner’s hatred for Cindy Clarke must have been even deeper.

“It’s a pity that he didn’t advance,” Wendy Clarke said, “With his current situation, I’m afraid it would be difficult for him to work in his desired restaurant.”

“If you can contact him, why not introduce us and let us get to know each other?” Wendy Clarke said to Zoe Silverstone, “Though our restaurant is just starting out in Belfard, I guarantee that we will make a name for ourselves. As long as he does well, he will always be the head chef.”

“And, just like the relationship between Quire and Michael Greene,” Wendy Clarke said, “I can make his relationship with our restaurant mutually beneficial.”

Zoe Silverstone was a little surprised, Wendy Clarke knew the story between Quire and Michael Greene.

She really thought Wendy Clarke was a country bumpkin.

“You just need to be the go-between to get us a meeting. Leave the rest to me,” Wendy Clarke said.

The most important thing was that they both couldn’t stand to see Cindy Clarke succeed.

This would lead to an unbreakable partnership between them.

Wendy Clarke was confident that Joseph Tanner would come to her restaurant.

“No problem,” Zoe Silverstone readily agreed.

As Zoe Silverstone was discussing with the Clarke family, let’s go back in time a little bit.

Back at the racecourse.

The contestants returned to the backstage first.

The audience left first.

Because there were too many audience members.

So, in order to ensure that the audience could leave in an orderly and speedy manner.

The audience left first.

The general audience left from various entrances and exits of the racecourse.

The VIP Seat audience had their own channels.

The contestants had to wait backstage for a while.

They would leave when the crowd was less concentrated.

Iris Doone and Blake Walker walked backstage together.

She didn’t know if she was thinking too much, but she felt that at this time, only Blake Walker was willing to walk with her.

Everyone else seemed to be deliberately avoiding her.

Even if she lost the competition and left today, she probably wouldn’t see them again.

Being avoided didn’t matter.

But Iris Doone still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

“Do the others think I’m not good because they listened to Yellen Brooks?” Iris Doone whispered.

“They’ve just been influenced, and when I talk to them later, they’ll come to their senses,” Blake Walker whispered back.

“You didn’t harm them, and everyone is in a competitive relationship. Yellen Brooks not getting ingredients has nothing to do with you; it’s not like you caused her not to get them. How can she have the nerve to ask you for them?”

“You don’t give her any, and she still complains about you? It’s obviously her fault,” Blake Walker scoffed. “In this situation, anyone would refuse. If Yellen Brooks asks someone else, can they really agree to that?”

“It’s just Cindy Clarke, pretending to be good. She knew she had a bad reputation, so she wanted to use this to clear her name.” Blake Walker thought he had seen through Cindy Clarke, “Those people are really stupid.”

“Cindy Clarke made it so obvious, and they actually fell for it,” Blake Walker said with disdain.

“In addition to this, they must have believed that I was the one who destroyed the ingredients,” Iris Doone said grievously. “But I really didn’t.”

“I know, I believe you,” Blake Walker said. “It’s not the first time Cindy Clarke has wronged someone.”

“She’s always been bullying Zoe Silverstone, forcing her away. Now that she sees you’re popular, she’s trying to push you away too,” Blake Walker said.

Iris Doone didn’t expect that Blake Walker had already brainwashed himself without her having to do anything.

This was a talented person!

Iris Doone looked at Blake Walker in surprise.

She could clearly see his affection for her, all displayed on his face.

Because of his affection for her, Blake Walker had fallen into love-brain, believing that every single thing Iris Doone did was good and could be understood and forgiven.

Whoever said something bad about Iris Doone must be slandering her.

Iris Doone saw what Blake Walker was thinking.

Instead of avoiding him, she looked at Blake Walker with watery eyes and said gratefully, “I never thought that all the way through, you always believed me and never changed.”

“We both started out together,” Blake Walker suddenly became confident. “You wait, I’ll definitely gain something from this competition. I’ll strive to advance and make a name for myself. No matter what job, I’ll think of you.”
