After temporarily solving the problem in the kitchen, Feng Yifan followed Su Liancheng and also asked Mei Ru to go to the private room together.
When they entered the private room, everyone in the room stood up immediately.
Zhuang Daozhong spoke first: "Well, it turns out that he is the chef who can make a three-star restaurant. He quickly solved the difficulties faced by Fujinglou as soon as he came back."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Uncle Master, please don't laugh at me. I may need your help next time, or ask my senior sister to help me."
Shi Jiahui was surprised and asked, "You want my help? What can I do for you?"
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "I'm afraid Yifan hopes that the two of us can help him find a group of cooks to replace the ones who are about to leave the kitchen of Fujinglou?"
Su Liancheng said at this time: "Yifan, actually there is no need. Although some people will leave, most people will not leave. They have a contract with our company. They can't leave Fujing Building at will because they are assigned here."
Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at Su Liancheng and asked, "It's already like this, do you still want to continue using those people?"
Su Liancheng was left speechless by this question.
Mei Ru said, "Chef Feng is right. We can't use those people anymore. They don't meet the requirements of Fujinglou. We have to replace them."
Su Liancheng also roughly understood that it was not that Su Liancheng did not want to replace those people before.
It was because he was unable to transfer new cooks from the group's training department, so he was unable to replace those people.
If the recruitment was conducted domestically, Su Liancheng was also worried that the requirements would not be met in a short period of time, which might lower the quality of Fujinglou itself, which might then bring greater trouble to Fujinglou.
This is also the reason why Su Liancheng has tolerated the chefs in the kitchen slacking off for such a long time.
Feng Yifan said directly to Zhuang Daozhong and Shi Jiahui: "Uncle Master, Senior Sister, you two are both big names in the domestic culinary world. Can you help us find a group of chefs to replace us? Don't worry, we can negotiate the wages, and they will definitely be satisfied."
Mei Ru also immediately said: "Don't worry about the salary, we can pay according to the highest standards in the industry."
Feng Yifan immediately smiled and said, "Look, there is such a big sponsor here, please help us."
Zhuang Daozhong smiled at Shi Jiahui and said, "Jiahui, did you see that? This is the true nature of your junior fellow apprentice. He is a guy who will do anything to achieve his goals. That's why he was able to get those restaurants three stars, and he himself got five stars in five years."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Uncle Master, you can tell me these things, but I can't. I still want to work in Chef Feng's restaurant."
Zhuang Daozhong was a little surprised: "Oh? Jiahui, have you made up your mind? Are you going back to Su Ji?"
Feng Yifan immediately said, "Of course, Senior Sister is the best choice for my sous chef, so Senior Sister must join Su Ji."
Zhuang Daozhong nodded and said, "Well, I think Brother Su will be very happy that you younger generations can gather together at Su's again."
Su Liancheng said at this time: "Everyone, please sit down. Let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say."
Then everyone sat around the table.
The three foreigners in the private room remained silent. It was obvious that they were very reserved when facing Feng Yifan, and it could even be said that they were a little afraid.
Feng Yifan sat down and ignored the three foreigners. He continued to ask his uncle and sister, "Can you two help me? If time is not too tight, I will ask my brother-in-law and sister-in-law to recruit some apprentices. That way the cost will be reduced a lot."
Shi Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "If you really need it, I can try to help make the contact."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru quickly said, "Thank you so much, Senior Sister."
But at this time Zhuang Daozhong suddenly said: "Actually, you don't have to ask me and Jiahui for help. You can have a very suitable candidate who can help you solve all your problems and allow you to free up your hands from Fujinglou and run Su Ji well."
Su Liancheng, Mei Ru and Shi Jiahui looked at Mr. Zhuang in surprise, and the three of them asked almost in unison: "Who is it?"
Feng Yifan had already guessed it: "Are you talking about Ninth Uncle?"
Zhuang Daozhong nodded. "Yes, it was Sun Mingxing. His original position in the Shanghai Hotel was replaced by Jiahui. Later, he contacted Chen Wei. He originally planned to have Chen Wei invest and let him open a private chef restaurant in Shanghai, but now he must be having some difficulties with funds."
In fact, Zhuang Daozhong's proposal was not only to help Sun Mingxing, but also because Sun Mingxing's situation was just right for coming to Fujing Building.
When Sun Mingxing returned from Huaicheng, he also gathered a group of cooks who he thought he could trust.
Now the restaurant is having financial problems and the group of people he assembled are also unemployed.
It can be said that the arrival of such a group of people in Fujinglou can just make up for the difficulties faced by Fujinglou. Then, it will be a natural process for Su Liancheng to withdraw from Fujinglou.
Zhuang Daozhong looked at Feng Yifan. He knew very well that the final decision would still depend on Feng Yifan's opinion.
If it were just Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, given the situation they are facing now, they would probably agree with this opinion and would be happy to let Sun Mingxing bring his team to take over.
But if Feng Yifan is here, his opinion must be taken into consideration.
Is he willing to let Sun Mingxing take over
Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Hahaha, I didn't expect that after going full circle, my uncles would end up back to square one."
Zhuang Daozhong also smiled: "The greatest credit here goes to you, Feng Yifan."
Feng Yifan waved his hand: "Uncle Master, please don't say that. I feel embarrassed. In fact, the greatest credit should go to you, Uncle Master. If it weren't for you, my uncles would have been nothing after leaving Su Ji."
Then he said to Su Liancheng, "Let's listen to our uncle and invite our ninth uncle to come over and take over the kitchen of Fujinglou. Let him be the head chef and Zhang Fenglin will be the deputy chef for the time being."
Su Liancheng couldn't help but say: "In fact, Zhang Fenglin works very hard, but..."
Feng Yifan immediately stopped Su Liancheng: "He didn't do anything, but he has made a big mistake. If he was in Su Ji, he would have been kicked out directly."
Mei Ru agreed with Feng Yifan's approach.
"Yes, Yifan is right. He indulged Qi Deqiang, which was a big mistake. He was very merciful not to fire him and let him serve as the deputy of Uncle Nine."
Today, Mei Ru got to know Feng Yifan again.
A different Feng Yifan from before,
Feng Yifan is no longer a good husband and father.
A ruthless person who has the final say and dares to accept the resignation of all the chefs in the kitchen without filing a record, and then uses the contract to threaten all the resigned chefs.
This thunderous style made Mei Ru feel that Feng Yifan would be very scary.
She is now very glad that Su Lanxin did not use other means to deal with Su Ji.
Otherwise, today, they and Su Ji might be enemies, especially their enemy would be such a decisive Feng Yifan.
That's kind of scary really.
Feng Yifan went on to say, "Zhang Fenglin will see how he performs later. If it really doesn't work out, then we can only ask him to leave Fujing Building. I will talk to him in person and let him leave in a dignified manner."
Then, Feng Yifan said to Su Liancheng, "You go contact Uncle Nine and make the conditions clear to him. Fujinglou must continue its current style. If there are any problems with the people he brings, they will also accept all the punishments."
After a pause, Feng Yifan continued, "In addition, Fujing Building will start the apprentice training program."
Mei Ru seemed to have been prepared and immediately came up with a plan.
Feng Yifan took a quick look at the plan Mei Ru brought out and shook his head: "No, you want to take over the Chinese chefs in the training department of the original aunt's group. This is simply unrealistic. Not to mention whether there is enough money to take over, the key is that your original training institution is not a real Chinese cuisine training method."
After hearing this, Mei Ru still didn't want to give up easily: "But, if that place is handed over to the group, then wouldn't all the efforts of President Su and the head chef over the years be wasted?"
Feng Yifan asked seriously, "You've been working hard for so many years? Have your aunt and the others developed a set of standards of your own?"
Mei Ru was stumped by this question, and Su Liancheng came out to smooth things over: "It's difficult to set your own standards."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, my own standards are difficult, so after all these years, my aunt has not been able to do this, and the standards of your group's training institutions are still based on foreign standards, so let it stay abroad, why do you want to take over?"
When Mei Ru heard this, she understood that what Feng Yifan said was true, but she still felt a little sad.
At this moment, she felt that all the efforts of Su Liancheng's parents over the years might be ruined by her and Su Liancheng.
Feng Yifan looked at the disappointment on Mei Ru's face and suddenly said, "Don't feel disappointed or regretful. We will get back everything we have lost in the future."
This sentence once again focused everyone's attention on Feng Yifan.
He continued, "First, we need to establish our own standards. We need to make Chinese restaurants around the world follow our standards. We need to make Chinese restaurants independent from those foreign restaurants. We need to have our own standards. This is the way to truly go global."
These words shocked everyone, especially the three foreigners present.
Among the three, Catherine was the only one who understood Chinese, so she was translating for Hans and Tom.
Hearing the former chef say that he wanted to establish a new set of standards, the three were a little surprised, but then they felt that this was the style of the chef they knew.
After everyone was shocked, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Once we have our own standards, it will be easy to take back my aunt's company, right?"
After hearing this, everyone present was speechless.
After a long while, Zhuang Daozhong said, "Hahaha, Yifan is really ambitious."
Feng Yifan looked at Zhuang Daozhong and asked, "Don't you want to, Uncle Master?"
Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "Yes, I do. I will definitely support you with all my strength. If necessary, I can transfer a group of chefs from the capital to take over some of the affairs of Fujinglou."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Thank you first, uncle-master, but since you recommended Uncle-master Ninth, let Uncle-master Ninth come first. However, for the follow-up training, you may still need to come forward."
At this point, Feng Yifan looked at Shi Jiahui and said, "Big Sister, can Tenth Uncle come?"
Shi Jiahui was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you are plotting this against us. Not only did you trick me into coming here, you also want me to call my dad to help you do the training in Fujing Building, right?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, Senior Sister, please help me."
Shi Jiahui spread his hands and said, "You should be more effective than me in this matter."
Zhuang Daozhong also said: "That's true. Yifan, if you come forward, Jinbin should agree. You have much more face than Jiahui now."
Feng Yifan could only nod: "Okay, then I'll call my uncle later."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were sitting aside, and they didn't expect that Feng Yifan would come back and solve all the difficulties faced by Fujinglou and the two of them in just one or two hours.
It can be predicted that Fujing Building will be completely new in the future.
As for Su Lanxin's group company, Su Chen and Mei Ru had no doubt that Feng Yifan would be able to take everything back.
After finishing talking about things here, Feng Yifan looked at Catherine, Hans and Tom.
"How are you three?"
Hearing Feng Yifan's question in a foreign language, the three of them stood up and answered almost instantly: "Very good, Chef."
The three of them stood up straight, bowed to Feng Yifan together, and responded in unison in somewhat clumsy Chinese, which surprised everyone else present.
Feng Yifan saw the three people's expressions, pressed his palms down and said, "Don't be so excited, sit down, sit down."
Under Feng Yifan's order, the three people naturally sat down quickly.
Feng Yifan then asked: "Come here, have you tried Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong's fried rice? Tell us what you three think."
Then, the three people expressed their judgments, which were basically similar to their previous thoughts.
Overall, the three people would feel that Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong are equally matched in their opinion.
After listening to the opinions of the three people, Feng Yifan nodded: "Well, I really trouble you three. Are you..."
Before Feng Yifan could finish his words, Catherine couldn't help but say in broken Chinese: "Chef, we are willing to stay. We want to continue to follow you. Please let us stay. We will continue to follow you to recreate glory."
Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not that I don't want you to stay, it's just that you know nothing about Chinese food."
Catherine immediately said, "We can learn. We can stay here and learn."
Hans and Tom also expressed their willingness to stay and study.
This scene really surprised everyone in the private room, including Zhuang Daozhong. They did not expect that three foreigners would be so respectful to Feng Yifan, as if they were treating him as a god.
