"Master, why do you want to give up such a good opportunity?" When Ye Chui was busy in the kitchen in the morning, Han Yuyan asked him in confusion.
Yesterday, Ge Yongming brought the good news, hoping that Ye Chui would go and try to apply for the chef job at the cruise carnival dinner. Han Yuyan had heard about this luxury cruise carnival a week ago, and she was planning to find a way to get a few tickets to take Ye Chui, An Jing, Wang Shiyu, and Tian Xiaodu to attend. It would not be bad if they could become the chef at the dinner and get on board. Ye Chui told Ge Yongming at the time that he would consider it, but this morning, he said that he was going to go and ask the organizer of the dinner to turn down the job, so Han Yuyan didn't understand why.
"There must be quite a lot of people attending that kind of banquet. We only have a few people in our restaurant. How can we take care of them?" Ye Chui said to his second apprentice somewhat helplessly. In fact, Ye Chu did not consider this reason. With so few people, Ye Chui could just hire people. A remuneration of two hundred thousand was still quite considerable for Ye Chui now. But the key point was that Ye Chu felt that this matter revealed something weird.
Even though he made a big splash at Wu Haimei's birthday party, he was not famous enough for anyone to want to entrust him with such an important cruise banquet, so there was something fishy going on. However, he couldn't tell Han Yuyan about these things directly.
Han Yuyan muttered unhappily, "What a pity."
"What's a pity? There will be other opportunities in the future." Ye Chui stretched out his finger and tapped Han Yuyan's forehead, which made Han Yuyan unhappy again.
After Tian Xiaodu arrived, Ye Chui called a taxi and prepared to go to the organizer of the banquet to cancel the matter. But when they were about to leave, Ye Chui saw Wang Shiyu running stealthily from outside from afar, looking cautiously towards the kitchen and preparing to sneak back upstairs.
Ye Chui called her: "Xiaoyu, didn't you go to school this morning? Why are you back?"
"Brother!" Seeing that she was discovered, Wang Shiyu immediately showed a sweet smile to Ye Chui, "Our teacher is sick today, so we are leaving school early!"
"Really?" Ye Chui looked doubtful.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can call our teacher!" Wang Shiyu said seriously.
Ye Chui frowned, thinking that this little thing didn't seem to be lying. Seeing that the car he had ordered from the rental company had arrived outside the hotel, he temporarily ignored what was going on with Wang Shiyu: "Okay. Put down your schoolbag and go out with us."
"Okay, brother!" Wang Shiyu immediately agreed sweetly and went back to put her schoolbag upstairs. When she went downstairs, she happened to see Tian Xiaodu walking out. Wang Shiyu hurried over and grabbed Tian Xiaodu: "Uncle Tian. Wait a minute."
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?" Tian Xiaodu said with a doting look on his face, "I heard that your teacher is sick? Is it serious?"
"Our teacher is not sick." Wang Shiyu glanced at Ye Chui who was getting into a taxi with Han Yuyan outside, and continued to say to Tian Xiaodu, "Just now during class, I took off his wig. Now he is angry and asked me to come back to call his parents."
Tian Xiaodu: "… Then what are you going to do?"
"Uncle Tian, can you pretend to be my parent and go to school this afternoon?" Wang Shiyu smiled sweetly at Tian Xiaodu, and then she became like a little devil again, "Also, don't tell my brother!"
Tian Xiaodu: “…”
Meet such a naughty kid. There are really no shortage of interesting and exciting things every day...
Ye Chui called Tian Xiaodu and Wang Shiyu in the car, so the two of them hurried over.
The company that contracted to host the cruise carnival is called "Haitian Catering and Banquet Enterprise", which is also a very famous company in Xizhou City. They are basically the ones to be hired for some important celebrations, ceremonies, and banquets. After driving for more than half an hour, the taxi finally stopped in front of a shopping mall. Ye Chui looked outside, opened the car door and got out.
Han Yuyan, Tian Xiaodu and Wang Shiyu followed behind. Actually, turning down the banquet could be solved with just a phone call, but Ye Chui wanted to expand his hotel in the future, and he would inevitably have some contact with such companies. So he didn't want to offend this company for no reason, and coming here in person also showed his sincerity.
Han Yuyan and Tian Xiaodu were simply interested in this matter and wanted to come and take a look together.
At this time, Ye Chui was thinking about what kind of lunch to make for Lin Wei and An Jing at noon, but after entering the lobby of the shopping mall, he was suddenly stunned and saw an acquaintance - it turned out to be Wang Jianhua, the owner of Jun Le Xiang.
Wang Jianhua was waiting for the elevator and was a little surprised to see Ye Chui and his group coming in. However, this man was a smooth talker and soon smiled. He came over and greeted them in a friendly manner, "Mr. Ye and Master Tian, I didn't expect to meet you here. I heard that your hotel had some problems recently. If you need anything, please contact me and I will do my best to help."
Ye Chui came back to his senses. Of course he didn't believe Wang Jianhua's polite words. He just nodded lightly: "Thank you for your concern, Boss Wang. Our problem has been resolved now."
Talking with the owner of a five-star hotel like Wang Jianhua, Ye Chui didn't seem to feel insecure at all, as if his Xiaoyu home cooking, which didn't even have a star rating, could be on par with Wang Jianhua's big restaurant.
This feeling made Wang Jianhua a little uncomfortable. At this time, the elevator arrived and he made an invitation gesture: "Mr. Ye, you guys should go up too. Why don't we go together?"
"Haha, okay." Ye Chui did not refuse and walked into the elevator with Tian Xiaodu, Han Yuyan, Wang Shiyu and Wang Jianhua.
The elevator began to rise slowly.
"Where is Mr. Ye going?" Wang Jianhua asked at this time.
"Haitian Catering and Banquet Hosting Company." Ye Chui replied with a smile, his eyes looking at Wang Jianhua - yesterday Ge Yongming said that there were other competitors for this banquet project. Wang Jianhua's appearance here should be the so-called competitor. After all, a reward of two hundred thousand is enough to tempt even the owner of a five-star hotel.
When Wang Jianhua heard Ye Chui's words, his eyes twitched quietly, and he asked, "What a coincidence, I also want to work in this company... But I don't know what you are going to do, Mr. Ye?"
"Haha, someone signed me up for the chef job at the cruise carnival. I came here today because I wanted to..." Ye Chui didn't intend to hide his intention to turn down the job.
"What? Just you guys?" However, Wang Jianhua interrupted Ye Chui in surprise. After he said this, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly smiled again and continued, "Ha, it seems that Mr. Ye, your home-cooked restaurant is very good. Even this kind of high-end banquet asked you to cook. Hey, we can be competitors now."
After saying this, Wang Jianhua could not hide the hostility and contempt on his face. Ye Chui might really cook delicious dishes, but the job of a banquet chef still depends on the reputation and level of the restaurant. Ye Chui, the owner of a small home-style restaurant, actually wanted to compete with him for this job? He even felt that this was an insult to him!
"Boss Wang, you misunderstood..." Ye Chui remained calm and prepared to explain things seriously to Wang Jianhua.
"Mr. Ye, you are too polite. What misunderstanding is there? Since your hotel is also coming to compete, I will have to see the level of your hotel, Mr. Ye." Wang Jianhua continued to interrupt Ye Chui's words, and said in a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Maybe we will lose by then?"
Wang Jianhua said the last sentence with a bit of strange emotion, as if he was saying "Maybe the sun will rise from the west by then", full of a certain sarcasm.
At this time, the elevator stopped and the elevator door opened. Wang Jianhua continued to sneer at Ye Chui, seemingly polite but actually full of provocation and contempt: "Mr. Ye, there will be a cooking competition later to decide who will get this job. Several of our Jun Le Xiang's masters have been waiting here for a long time. It seems that we are in for a real eye-opener today."
Having said this, he rushed out first.
In the elevator, Ye Chui rolled his eyes, thinking, "Can't this guy wait for me to finish my words? Who wants to compete with him for this job?"
"This man is so hateful. Master, can you tolerate him?" Han Yuyan said to Ye Chui angrily.
"Ignore him, let's go." Ye Cui said casually. Of course, he would not be so angry as to challenge and trample on Wang Jianhua just because of Wang Jianhua's provocation - Ye Cui still had some self-control.
However, things did not develop as Ye Chui had imagined.
He originally just wanted to come here to tell the boss of Haitian Company to turn down the job, but the company employee who received him took him directly to a room in the company, where the cooking tools were already set up, and the chefs of Jun Le Xiang were also ready here. When Ye Chui mentioned to the company employee that he was going to turn down the job, the employee said to Ye Chui with an impatient look on his face: "You want to turn down this job? Why didn't you say so earlier? We have prepared the cooking tools here. If you had known earlier, you wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
As he said this, he handed a form to Ye Chui and said, "This is the menu for the banquet. Since you are here, you should at least fill it out for me so that I can report to you later!"
After saying that, he turned and walked away.
Ye Chui looked at the form with a wry smile. Cruise ship banquets are usually buffet-style events. The main purpose of the banquet is to hold dances, cocktail parties, socialize, etc. This form is the menu that the chef has to prepare. The menu includes five categories: cold dishes, hot dishes, staple foods, snacks, and desserts. For this chef's job, the choice of menu is also of utmost importance.
Ye Chui held the form in his hand and smiled bitterly. He was still calm now. The employee's bad attitude did not affect his mood or make him change his mind. However, what happened next made him change his original intention today. He decided to teach them a lesson with delicious food.
"Where did Xiaoyu go?" Ye Chui, who was about to fill out the form, suddenly looked around curiously. (~^~)
