At the same time Feng Yifan and the others accepted Su Liancheng's invitation and started to rush to Fujing Building.
When Sun Mingxing arrived at Fujing Building with his recruited team of chefs, the first thing he did was to go into the kitchen to check the situation there.
After checking it out, Sun Mingxing came out and said something strange to Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
"From what I can see, there is nothing wrong with the kitchen in your Fujing Building. Aren't all the chefs in your kitchen very serious? And it can be seen that they are all people with skills, not cooks without any skills. Shouldn't you be able to do a good job?"
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru looked at each other after hearing this, and then they both smiled helplessly and bitterly.
Su Liancheng explained to Sun Mingxing: "Uncle Master, actually the reason for this is because Yifan has used contracts to constrain these chefs, and some of them are from the group's training institutions, so they don't want Meiru and I to give them bad reviews when they return."
When Sun Mingxing heard this, he immediately understood the specific situation in the kitchen of Fujing Building.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I was wondering, your kitchen is very stable, why did you suddenly ask me to bring people over to take over?"
Mei Ru said, "Originally, according to the group's internal regulations, the trained chefs in its restaurants would be rotated every once in a while. According to the time, this group of chefs should indeed be rotated, but now there are problems within the group, President Su has left, and we can't control the situation."
Sun Mingxing looked at Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, smiled and said, "You still haven't learned the methods of Liancheng's mother, and you two are not as ruthless as Feng Yifan."
On the way here, Sun Mingxing also inquired about the incident in which Feng Yifan got angry in the kitchen of Fujing Building.
Now, Feng Yifan's approach has been confirmed by Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
Sun Mingxing agreed: "Feng Yifan is worthy of being the one who can make a restaurant in a foreign country become a three-star restaurant. There is nothing wrong with the way he handled it. Even if he wants to resign, he must follow the contract, otherwise he must compensate you for the losses caused by his resignation."
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were also a little ashamed. They indeed did not handle the problem of Fujing Building well.
In fact, the main responsibility lies with Su Liancheng.
He has always wanted to stabilize Fujinglou so that Meiru can deal with the problems within the foreign group.
But the result was that neither of them was able to handle the situation well.
There was a work stoppage in the kitchen of Fujing Building.
When Mei Ru went to the overseas head office, she was not able to gain enough say. Instead, she was forced out by some other shareholders, which forced her to hand over the decision-making power.
There are too many intrigues and interests involved behind this.
In short, in the end, although Chen Wei stepped in, some internal problems were resolved.
But the price paid was still high, and Mei Ru ultimately did not become Su Lanxin.
The affairs of the overseas company were not handled properly and the operation of the company was eventually handed over to others. Mei Ru also withdrew from the decision-making level and the Su family became shareholders who only received dividends.
In addition, Fujing Building was separated from the company and became the property of the brother and sister Su Liancheng and Su Ruoxi.
Therefore, since it is his own property, Su Liancheng also hopes to make Fujing Building better.
However, Su Liancheng originally wanted to stabilize the chefs in the kitchen first, and then replace all the chefs in the kitchen after finding a suitable team of chefs to replace them. He never took any action against the chefs who were slacking off in the kitchen.
In the end, Feng Yifan came back and solved the problem quickly when he saw it.
Sun Mingxing finally said with a smile: "But this is also good, at least it is a bargain for me in the end. I didn't expect that I would go around in circles and finally return to Huaicheng and continue to work for the Su family."
Su Liancheng quickly said, "Uncle Master, you are not working for us. Yifan and I have discussed this and will give you shares."
Sun Mingxing was a little surprised: "Feng Yifan agreed to give me shares?"
Mei Ru quickly said, "Yes, it was Feng Yifan who suggested giving you the shares."
Sun Mingxing thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Okay, Feng Yifan, are you going to trap me in Fujing Building for the rest of my life? You want me to work for you in Fujing Building for the rest of my life."
At this point, Sun Mingxing suddenly asked, "By the way, are Feng Yifan and the others coming today? And Su Jinrong?"
Su Liancheng saw Sun Mingxing's nervous face when he asked this question, and hesitantly said, "Yes, they should be here soon."
Sun Mingxing was shocked when he heard this: "What? We're almost there?"
Su Liancheng was a little surprised: "Uncle Master, what's wrong with you?"
Sun Mingxing then turned around and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "What else? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I just got here with our team, and Chef Feng is coming in person, so how could I not show off my skills?"
Seeing Sun Mingxing rushing into the kitchen, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru smiled at each other.
Both of them knew very well that although Sun Mingxing seemed to be Feng Yifan's uncle, in fact, in front of Feng Yifan, Sun Mingxing did not dare to act like an uncle at all, and even consciously felt that he was inferior to Feng Yifan.
The reason behind this is self-evident.
The dish that Feng Yifan prepared in the kindergarten competition exceeded everyone's expectations. Even Su Liancheng's mother did not dare to be partial to him, which shows how good the dish was.
Facing such a Feng Yifan, how could Sun Mingxing still dare to act like an uncle
Sun Mingxing also knew that Shi Jiahui had resigned from Shanghai and came to Huaicheng specifically to work as the deputy chef for Feng Yifan at Su Ji.
As a result, Sun Mingxing would have an innate fear of Feng Yifan.
Su Liancheng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you think Uncle Nine can really take on the responsibility of Fujing Tower?"
Mei Ru made a serious analysis: "If it was Uncle Nine himself and his team, Fujinglou might be a second-rate restaurant at best. It might still be the best in Huaicheng and could preserve tourists' impression of Huaicheng, but it would be difficult to go further.
But now that Feng Yifan is here, as long as he is willing to help, then Fujinglou should be able to reach first-class standards in the hands of Uncle Nine."
After listening to Mei Ru's analysis, Su Liancheng felt that it did make sense.
Since Feng Yifan asked Sun Mingxing to come, it means he was already prepared.
What's more, Feng Yifan also has shares in Fujinglou, so he should not watch Fujinglou go bankrupt, and it is even impossible for him to let Fujinglou remain at the second-rate level.
Later, with Feng Yifan coming over to oversee the project, and with Sun Mingxing's experience, it should not be a problem for Fujinglou to become a first-class hotel.
Mei Ru added: "The question now is whether Uncle Nine can be favored by Feng Yifan."
Su Liancheng was a little surprised when he heard this: "Hasn't Feng Yifan already taken a fancy to it? Otherwise, why would he recommend Uncle Nine to take over?"
Mei Ru shook her head: "No, letting Uncle Nine come here is Feng Yifan's expedient measure."
Su Liancheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be just as Mei Ru said.
Feng Yifan asked Sun Mingxing to take over Fujinglou, which was indeed just a temporary measure, because Fujinglou needed manpower in the kitchen, and the current manpower in Fujinglou's kitchen might leave one after another in a week. Even if the people from Su Lanxin Group did not leave, they would not be restricted any more.
In this case, someone must be able to take over the kitchen of Fujinglou.
Judging from the considerations, Sun Mingxing may be the most suitable person at the moment.
But this does not mean that Feng Yifan recognizes Sun Mingxing's abilities.
If Sun Mingxing's next dishes fail to satisfy Feng Yifan, even if Feng Yifan does not let Sun Mingxing take his people away, he may not continue to invest more energy in Fujinglou.
After figuring this out, Su Liancheng really wanted to help his Ninth Uncle.
But at this time, it seems that outsiders can't help.
Mei Ru said helplessly: "There is no other way. I can only hope that Uncle Nine can do well enough."
At the same time, Feng Yifan, who was on his way, said unabashedly while driving: "Dad, this time we are going to Fujinglou as the boss. Today we must carefully pick Uncle Nine to see if he has really put what he learned from Grandpa into practice over the years."
Su Jinrong laughed when he heard this: "You, a junior, do you still want to test your uncle?"
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "After all, I am the chef of Su Ji now, so what's the harm in testing my uncle?"
Shi Jiahui, who went with everyone, immediately said from the back: "Yes, yes, let's test Sun Mingxing."
Su Jinrong immediately said, "Jiahui, your father is not here, you can't just call your uncle by his name. After all, Sun Mingxing is your ninth uncle."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Uncle Jiu is not wrong, but he has already lost to me once at the Shanghai Hotel."
Su Jinrong shook his head helplessly: "Horses can stumble, and people can make mistakes."
Shi Jiahui continued with a smile, "It's not that he failed, it's that he lacks the ability. From what I know about Sun Mingxing, he can cook some standard dishes well, but he lacks the ability to innovate. Although his basic skills are solid, he doesn't know how to adapt. To put it bluntly, he is just stubborn."
Su Jinrong said: "Following one's duty is also the persistence of our generation of chefs."
Shi Jiahui shook her head and said, "But sticking to our duties does not mean that we will not accept innovation and make changes. We need to make our dishes more refined and cannot just stay on the achievements left by our ancestors."
Feng Yifan said in front: "I agree with the senior sister on this point. We really can't stop at the achievements of our ancestors. We must inherit the things of our ancestors and learn those basic skills thoroughly. But at the same time, we also need to boldly make some innovations and changes after learning the basic skills well."
Shi Jiahui said: "Uncle Master, look, Yifan is the one who understands, that's why Yifan can get three stars abroad."
Su Jinrong nodded: "You two are right, but your Ninth Master is old after all. How easy is it to make innovations and changes?"
After hearing what Su Jinrong said, Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui began to understand Sun Mingxing a little.
In terms of Sun Mingxing's age, although he is much younger than Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin, he is two years older than Su Jinrong.
So Sun Mingxing is already not young anymore, and to be honest, he is old enough to take care of his grandchildren.
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Mingxing's three sons were not doing well, he would probably have retired at home and prepared to enjoy his retirement.
It’s a pity that perhaps there is a little bit of retribution involved.
Sun Mingxing's three sons were not very filial, leaving only a little daughter who was born when he was old. She inherited some of his legacy and also learned some cooking skills.
Therefore, it can be said that Sun Mingxing’s current hard work outside is all to pave the way for his little daughter.
Feng Yifan suddenly asked, "By the way, has Uncle Nine's little daughter gone to Aunt's company for training?"
Su Ruoxi said, "No, I heard from Brother Lian Cheng that when my uncle left, he took her and Tan Xueli away with him. I heard that they were arranged to study in a private restaurant abroad. It is said that all the chefs in the kitchen are women."
Shi Jiahui immediately said, "Oh, I know that restaurant. It's a very famous restaurant."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Big Sister, you know, can you understand it better than me?"
Shi Jiahui asked curiously, "You know a lot about it? Could it be that you have some connection with the female cooks in the kitchen there?"
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glared at her husband and said, "Do you still have that kind of affair?"
Feng Yifan said with a smile: "There is no such thing as an affair. I don't have much to do with them. The reason I know about it is because the chef of that restaurant is Catherine's sister, who used to work for me. Later, I gave her that idea."
Shi Jiahui and Su Ruoxi were stunned at first, and then they both felt even more puzzled.
They almost asked in unison: "Then why can my uncle (Master Uncle) arrange for people to go in?"
Feng Yifan sighed and said, "Because my uncle asked me for help, I introduced him to the restaurant, asked him to find the chef, and then arranged for Tan Xueli and Uncle Nine's daughter to go in."
Shi Jiahui asked curiously, "Did that restaurant get a star rating?"
Feng Yifan raised a finger: "One star."
Shi Jiahui was a little envious: "I can actually get one star."
Feng Yifan sighed and said, "It can only get one star. Sister Catherine's talent is limited. One star may be the limit of those female chefs. If they want to go further, I'm afraid they can't do it."
Su Ruoxi was immediately unhappy: "Why do you sound a bit discriminatory towards us women?"
Then, Su Ruoxi immediately instigated Shi Jiahui, as well as Feng Ruoruo and Han Wenwen in the back row to denounce Feng Yifan together.
"Hurry up, all of you, come together to denounce Ruoruo's father. Ruoruo's father actually looks down on us women. We are all women. Women and girls should unite and denounce this bad father who favors boys over girls."
Feng Ruoruo took the lead: "Dad, you are not allowed to look down on us."
Shi Jiahui and Han Wenwen were pulled up, and they raised their hands and laughed, pretending to denounce.
Feng Yifan was so upset that he said helplessly, "It's not that I'm discriminating, it's true that their abilities are limited, especially if they want to get two stars, or even three stars, that requires great innovation. It's not about making a dish that's unique to your restaurant, but about making several sets of meals."
After hearing this, Shi Jiahui said helplessly: "It's true, just one or two dishes won't work at all."
But Su Ruoxi didn't care: "Humph, I just want to denounce you and boycott you."
Feng Ruoruo naturally followed her mother in making a scene: "Yes, yes, Dad, you have to apologize to me and Mom, and also to Aunt and Sister Wenwen."
When Shi Jiahui and Han Wenwen saw the mother and daughter teasing Feng Yifan together, they were naturally happy to watch from the side without getting involved.
Feng Yifan was finally forced by his wife and daughter's "oppression" and could only say reluctantly: "Okay, I'm sorry, my wife, I'm sorry, Ruoruo, I'm sorry, Senior Sister, I'm sorry, Wenwen."
The mother and daughter were finally satisfied and let their father go.
