After arranging rooms for his fellow disciples to stay in, Chen Wei went to look for Su Lanxin.
In front of him, Chen Wei asked directly: "You asked him to come. Now that he is here, you don't even want to see him. Isn't that too unreasonable?"
Su Lanxin replied very calmly: "I don't have time to meet them. I asked them to come just to be witnesses. They can see that they were right to follow us and leave. They also know that it was wrong to part ways with us later."
From Su Lanxin's words, Chen Wei could clearly hear her resentment about the closure of her first restaurant that year.
Chen Wei was really helpless: "Why are you doing this? We are all not young anymore, can you not act like a willful child when encountering such a thing?"
Su Lanxin looked at Chen Wei and said very seriously: "If I were that willful girl back then, I would have slapped them all in the face a long time ago."
Then, Su Lanxin still did not agree to meet those senior brothers.
"I won't meet them. Since you're the one who invited them here, you'll be responsible for receiving them. You'll have to pay for all the expenses first. If it's not enough, you can tell Xiaomei and I can reimburse you from the company, or even pay out of my own pocket."
Chen Wei stared at Su Lanxin and asked, "Do you think this is something that costs a lot of money?"
Su Lanxin asked in confusion: "Isn't this a matter of spending money? Aren't they here to get some benefits from me? Believe it or not, they will come to you soon."
When Chen Wei heard Su Lanxin say this, his expression was still a little complicated. In fact, he had already felt this while driving.
Regardless of the sixth brother Lu Yongjun's flattery of him, the second brother Ma Wenjing and the fifth brother Dai Feng had been inquiring about the situation openly and secretly.
Even Sun Mingxing, the ninth one who was in the best condition, showed some resentment in his words. The purpose of complaining to Chen Wei was naturally to hope that Chen Wei could help him.
Although he noticed all this, Chen Wei still kept in mind the friendship between his fellow apprentices.
Especially since his fellow apprentices followed him to leave Su Ji, Chen Wei felt a little guilty when he talked about how his fellow apprentices became like now.
On the surface, Chen Wei is a bohemian person, but in fact, Chen Wei is a very nostalgic person.
Whether he is dealing with Su Lanxin or his fellow junior brothers, he will always try his best to help.
Especially this group of junior brothers, after everyone parted ways, in fact everyone received more or less help from Chen Wei.
The reason why the ninth brother, Sun Mingxing, was able to find a job in Shanghai was because Chen Wei asked some friends to intercede for him.
Chen Wei also spent a lot of money that time. It can be said that Chen Wei has made a great contribution to the fact that Sun Mingxing can stay in Shanghai until now.
Chen Wei also gave a lot of help to several other junior brothers in varying degrees.
Even the second son, Ma Wenjing, once lost all his family fortune in gambling. He was desperate and contacted Chen Wei. Chen Wei, who was abroad at the time, came back to help him settle the debt.
In recent years, Ma Wenjing opened a small private restaurant in his hometown, and the investment was also provided by Chen Wei.
It can be said that Chen Wei really has nothing to say about this group of junior fellow apprentices.
But it was precisely because of his support for his fellow junior fellow students that these junior fellow students became dependent on him.
Almost everyone would think of Chen Wei first and ask for help from their senior brother when they encounter some trouble.
This time, it was obvious that the four of them had their own ideas and wanted to ask for help from their senior brother Chen Wei again.
Chen Wei could naturally see this.
Su Lanxin had already seen through this a long time ago, so she was unwilling to meet those senior brothers.
Chen Wei had no choice but to leave Su Lanxin's room. Su Lanxin then called her secretary and took her with her to leave the hotel, in order to avoid the fellow apprentices who were staying in the hotel.
As soon as Chen Wei returned to the floor where his room was, he saw four fellow apprentices gathered at the door of his room.
Seeing this scene, Chen Wei at this moment felt the urge to turn around and leave the hotel.
But in the end, Chen Wei did not do so, and walked reluctantly towards his fellow apprentices guarding the door.
With a smile on his face again, Chen Wei took the initiative to greet them: "Why don't you rest in your room for a while? It's not even lunch time yet. Isn't it too early for you to drink?"
The fellow students looked at each other in bewilderment. Facing such a senior brother, they felt a little embarrassed to speak.
But after a moment of silence, Ma Wenjing finally spoke up: "Big Brother, we are here not only to witness your competition, but we also have something we would like to ask you to help us with."
Hearing this, Chen Wei felt really bitter.
Aren't you too impatient and too direct
Although he felt bitter, Chen Wei was helpless and could only invite his fellow apprentices in first.
"What's up? Come in first and we'll talk slowly."
After entering the hotel room, Chen Wei was busy getting some food for his fellow apprentices and making tea for the four of them. His hospitality was very thoughtful.
After they were almost done and sat down, Chen Wei asked, "Okay, who's going to speak first?"
The four of them looked at each other, and then spoke almost in unison.
"Let me speak first."
Chen Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Come one by one. It's really still early for lunch. Just tell us what you have to say. We have been brothers for so many years. If the eldest brother can help, he will definitely help."
In the end, it was the second oldest, Ma Wenjing, who spoke first: "Big Brother, since you said that, I won't be polite. Actually, it's the kid in my family who is not doing well. He is not good at school and he is not good at cooking even though I learned cooking from him. I just want to ask Big Brother, can you help me?"
When Chen Wei heard this, he roughly understood what his second junior brother meant.
The children in the family are grown up and probably don’t do well in school, and they don’t want to learn cooking like their father.
So now the second junior brother has come forward, hoping that the eldest junior brother can see if he can arrange a job for him
Chen Wei thought for a moment and asked, "No one is here?"
Ma Wenjing said embarrassedly: "Actually he came with me, but I felt that it would be bad for me to bring that kid along since my fellow apprentices were all here, so I didn't let him show up."
Chen Wei was stunned when he heard this: "Where is the child?"
Ma Wenjing quickly said, "Oh, it's in my room."
Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Second brother, you are really great. You should have told me earlier that you would bring the kids with you. I asked for a room with a double bed for you. How can you two live with one bed?"
Ma Wenjing quickly said, "It's okay, big brother. I'll let my old man sleep on the floor in my room."
After hearing this, not only was Chen Wei so angry that he laughed, but the other three brothers couldn't help laughing either.
The ninth brother, Sun Mingxing, said, "Second brother, are you really that serious? Can't the eldest brother afford to change a room? Hurry up and let the child take his ID card and change the room."
Ma Wenjing was still a little hesitant: "Why don't you just not bother? We can just make do with it for now."
Chen Wei waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, don't make excuses. Let the child wait in the room. I'll ask you to take him downstairs to change rooms. Oh, and ask him to bring his ID card."
Ma Wenjing quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll tell him."
The second son also called immediately and asked his son to wait in the room and someone would take him downstairs to change rooms.
Chen Wei had no choice but to take out his cell phone and make a call, asking someone from the company to help him.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Wei formally asked, "Second brother, tell me, what did your youngest son learn? Did he learn seriously from you in the kitchen? What level is he at?"
Without waiting for Ma Wenjing to speak, Chen Wei added: "Second Brother, we are brothers, you have to tell me the truth."
Ma Wenjing was stunned when he heard this. He had to swallow back the lie that the father and son had discussed and made up.
"Brother, to be honest, this kid of mine was born in my old age, so I spoiled him a little since he was young. That's why he didn't go to school properly and didn't even finish high school."
Hearing this, the sixth brother Lu Yongjun couldn't help but laugh: "Second brother, are you making things too difficult for the eldest brother? I think given your kid's situation, he should just stay at home and learn cooking from you. It would be enough if he could learn half of your skills."
The fifth brother, Dai Feng, couldn't help but say, "Yes, second brother, it's actually quite good for this kid to learn a skill. At least he won't starve."
If it were any other time, Ma Wenjing would probably have really responded without any hesitation.
But today, Ma Wenjing did not fight back. Instead, he sighed helplessly: "I have told him before, but he is unwilling to learn. It is too hard to work in the kitchen."
After hearing this, Lao Wu and Lao Liu immediately shut up and it was not clear what to say next.
The ninth brother, Sun Mingxing, was very direct: "Second brother, let me say that everything is hard. If your son is like this, how can you ask your eldest brother to help you? Do you want to assign him a general manager? What can he do?"
Ma Wenjing quickly said, "Brother, that's not what I meant. I thought that he might not be able to learn by my side, and I couldn't bear to beat or scold him, so I thought I should let him go to another place to learn."
Chen Wei thought for a long time, and finally said, "How about this, I'll tell Lian Cheng later and arrange for him to work in the kitchen of Fujing Building."
Hearing this answer, all the fellow students present were shocked.
Especially the sixth brother Lu Yongjun, an expression of envy clearly appeared on his face.
Ma Wenjing also quickly said: "Thank you, big brother. Thank you so much, big brother."
Chen Wei continued, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me. Bring him to see me later. I need to explain some things to him first, and I also need to ask him some questions. Only if it is really possible, can I let him go."
Ma Wenjing hesitated again, but seeing the serious expression of his senior brother, he could only nod and agree.
After solving the problem of the second brother's family, Chen Wei looked at the other three people and said, "You can also speak."
Next is the fifth brother, Dai Feng. His problem is relatively simple. After leaving his fellow apprentices, Dai Feng chose to return to his hometown in the countryside. He did quite well in breeding in his hometown, and his daughter and son-in-law were willing to follow him.
The reason for coming this time is that there was a problem at Dai Feng’s family’s breeding farm, and the funds were not flowing smoothly last week, so he hopes to borrow some money from the senior brother.
When Chen Wei heard that Lao Wu was just borrowing money, he felt really relieved.
This matter that can be solved with money really makes Chen Wei feel relieved. What he fears most is something like what happened to the second brother.
So Chen Wei agreed immediately and confirmed an inspection with Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, I will mention it to the company later and ask them to go to your place for inspection. If the ducks you raise are qualified, the company's restaurants will consider purchasing them."
This was a large order. Dai Feng even seemed to hear the sound of money and quickly agreed: "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother."
The problem of the fifth brother was easily solved, and then it was the turn of the sixth brother, Lu Yongjun.
Lu Yongjun thought about it, but did not tell him about his affairs. Instead, he said, "Let Lao Jiu talk first. My affairs are not urgent. I can talk about them later."
Seeing Lu Yongjun being so noble and upright, Chen Wei felt a headache and thought that Lao Liu might be in trouble.
But since Lu Yongjun said so, Chen Wei wanted to solve the problem of Old Nine as soon as possible and then slowly deal with Old Six.
"Okay, Lao Jiu, you go first."
Sun Mingxing didn't hesitate to say, "Big Brother, I'm actually thinking that I'm not doing well at the Shanghai Hotel. Can I transfer to the restaurant under your company? I'm willing to continue working in my current position."
Chen Wei felt a little amused: Of course you are willing to do the same position as now, because you can earn more in their company with the same position.
However, with Sun Mingxing's level, it is obvious that he cannot meet the requirements of the company's restaurants.
Moreover, Chen Wei has no final say on this matter. Not only does he have to tell Su Lanxin, but it may also need to go through the board of directors. Chen Wei is really powerless about this kind of thing.
Chen Wei could only say: "Old Nine, it's not that Senior Brother doesn't want to help you, but the company has its own system. Usually, the kitchen staff of our company's restaurants must undergo unified training, and we will never hire from outside."
Sun Mingxing felt a little disappointed after hearing this.
Chen Wei continued, "However, if you really want to leave the Shanghai Hotel, I can actually help you find a place in Shanghai for you to open a private kitchen. I think with your cooking skills and your experience at the Shanghai Hotel, it shouldn't be difficult to run it."
Hearing this, Sun Mingxing immediately became happy: "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother, I will definitely manage it well."
Chen Wei nodded: "As for the restaurant, it's a private kitchen. You can find someone to do the address and decoration. Give me a quote on how much it will cost. You can also run the business, or you can find someone to do it. Anyway, I'm the investor, and the shares are half and half between us, is that ok?"
Sun Mingxing thought that he could get a private kitchen restaurant for free and also get half of the profits, so he naturally agreed.
But after saying this, Sun Mingxing couldn't help but say, "Big Brother, there is actually one more thing. My little daughter graduated this year. She has been learning cooking from me for quite a long time, and she also studied systematically at the culinary school in Shanghai."
After hearing this, how could Chen Wei not understand what Junior Brother Nine meant
Without any hesitation, Chen Wei said, "How about this, I'll talk to the company headquarters and arrange for her to go to the company headquarters for further studies. You go back and get her a passport and wait for news."
Sun Mingxing was completely satisfied this time. Everything had been arranged like this, what else could he be dissatisfied with
When Chen Wei saw Sun Mingxing smiling with satisfaction and constantly thanking him, he actually felt relieved.
Things that can be solved with money are really not a big deal.
Finally, Chen Wei looked at the sixth brother, Lu Yongjun, and his heart began to beat fast. He wondered what the sixth brother wanted to ask for his help again
