There are a total of ten waiters in Honglou, including the manager Pan Qingguo. If the ten thousand yuan is divided equally, each person can get one thousand yuan. The waiters' income in this hotel is only four to five thousand yuan per month. This unexpected fortune of one thousand yuan is enough to surprise many people.
In contrast, chefs like Lu Bing looked at them with envy and hatred...
Lu Bing's body seemed a little stiff, his eyes still glaring at Ye Chui fiercely, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He now finally understood that this young man was not only a great cook, but also someone he could not intimidate by just being ruthless.
Pan Qingguo put ten brand new bills into his pocket, with a very proud expression on his face. He smiled and said to Lu Bing, "Master Lu, you are still the chef of Honglou, so I can't chase you away, but I hope you don't affect the business of the restaurant."
Lu Bing didn't say anything and looked very unhappy.
The other waiters in the restaurant had heard about this, and they all hurriedly gathered together at this time, receiving a tip of one thousand yuan from Lin Wei, each of them with a look of joy on their face.
Meng Gang, who had helped Ye Chui catch fish before, was a simple and honest young man. He said a little embarrassedly: "We didn't do anything at all. Isn't a thousand yuan tip a bit too much?"
"The tip should be divided equally. You caught fish for me, and other people also helped in some way. You should take this money." Ye Chui explained with a smile.
Pan Qingguo also said, "Yes, Xiao Meng, you have helped a lot. Compared with some people who just stood by and watched and mocked us, you have made great efforts. You should take the money and don't refuse it."
“Okay then…” Meng Gang nodded and happily put away the thousand yuan.
Ye Cui smiled and looked at Lu Bing and others again, then led everyone to the hotel's kitchen. The waiters originally respected Lu Bing very much, after all, Lu Bing was the head chef of Hong Lou, but now the waiters' respect for Lu Bing had completely disappeared.
"What on earth happened here? Why does Master Lu look so unhappy?" A waitress who was not here just now asked Su Xin beside her in a low voice.
"It's a pity you didn't see that scene just now. Master Lu wanted a tip from Mr. Ye, but Mr. Ye refused to give him a penny. He even wanted to rob him but was shocked by Mr. Ye. He didn't even dare to say a word even when Mr. Ye slapped him in the face." Su Xin said in a low voice. Although her voice was very small, at least everyone in the corridor could hear it.
"No way?" The waitress looked surprised.
"That's right. I didn't expect that Master Lu, who is so majestic on weekdays, would become so arrogant at the critical moment..." another waitress said in a low voice.
"Didn't you see how Lu Bing looked just now? He opened his eyes wide but didn't dare to say a word. It was really funny." The waiter named Huang Yong continued.
There was a burst of laughter from the waiters.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ye is such a great cook at such a young age, and he's also so tough." A waitress looked at Ye Chui, who was walking in front, and said with a bit of admiration.
"Yes, if I want to find a boyfriend, I must find someone like this." Su Xin said with a slightly infatuated look.
Lin Wei, who was walking beside Ye Chui, was originally listening to the discussion of these waiters with a smile on her face. She felt that Ye Chui was so amazing and she was proud of him. However, after hearing the subsequent discussion of these waiters, she immediately became unhappy. She turned around with a puffy face and glanced at these girls: Ye Chui is her boyfriend, no one of you can snatch him away!
Chefs such as Lu Bing all had gloomy faces.
Some people looked at Lu Bing cautiously. Lu Bing had just been slapped in the face by Ye Chui in front of so many people—a literal slap in the face, but he didn't dare to say a word. This was indeed a bit shocking...
Lu Bing was filled with shame and anger. He clenched his fists fiercely and said, "A little brat dares to show off on my territory... I won't let him go."
According to Pan Qingguo's request, ordinary guests in the hotel were politely asked to leave by the waiters, and the more important customers were invited to the private rooms. Ye Chui was responsible for cooking, and the idle waiters helped in the kitchen. This five-star hotel originally had ten chefs, but now there is only Ye Chui, and he is still able to hold on.
He was in charge of cooking, while Lin Wei was responsible for directing everyone's tasks, and the kitchen ran in an orderly manner.
Lu Bing and his team of chefs returned to the kitchen. At this time, some of the chefs who followed Lu Bing began to waver. Most of them were people with low chef certificates. The reason they followed Lu Bing to resist Peng Hong was because Lu Bing told them that there would be great benefits in the future. But now they were a little panicked, afraid that they would lose more than they gained...
After finishing another table of dishes, Ye Chui was taking a short break when Pan Qingguo suddenly received a call. He hurried out and came back with a young man a moment later.
There was an angry expression on the man's face, and it seemed that he must be Peng Hong's son.
Ye Chui had just chatted with Pan Qingguo and learned that Peng Hong's son is called Peng Shun. Peng Hong opened the Honglou restaurant thirty years ago and has built it up from a small restaurant to the present day. He values his son very much and sent him to study abroad. He originally hoped that his son would take over the restaurant after returning. However, Peng Shun was not interested in the hotel industry and was devoted to finance. Peng Hong often quarreled with Peng Shun over this matter.
But now Peng Hong is in the hospital. When Peng Shun rushed to the hotel, his face was full of anger, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about his father.
Peng Shun was in his thirties, wearing a suit and looking handsome. After he came to the kitchen, he looked around and found Lu Bing. He immediately rushed to Lu Bing angrily: "Lu Bing, my father has always been very good to you. I didn't expect you to do such a thing!"
"Hmph, Master Peng, what are you talking about?" After seeing Peng Shun, Lu Bing's face was a little panicked, but he quickly calmed down. "I did this for your father's own good. He's already old and you don't want to take over the restaurant. I'd like to let him hand it over to someone else so that he can enjoy his old age. I just didn't expect the boss to be so desperate. We didn't want to see him get sick and be hospitalized, but... we can only blame him for having a bad temper."
"How dare you say such sarcastic remarks!" Peng Shun's face was full of anger, and he waved his fingers, "Lu Bing, you are fired..."
He wanted to fire him, but Pan Qingguo rushed to Peng Shun and whispered something in his ear, making Peng Shun understand that if the restaurant wanted to continue to operate normally, Lu Bing's five-star chef title was indispensable.
Peng Shun's face suddenly became a little depressed.
Lu Bing smiled complacently: Even if you are angry, so what? You still dare not do anything to me.
But Pang Shun is obviously not the kind of person who will be bullied without any means.
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Ye Chui. After sizing him up for a few times, he flashed a few words of "I didn't expect him to be so young" in his eyes, and then he walked up to Ye Chui and said, "Mr. Ye, I just heard Brother Pan talk about you. Thank you for solving the urgent problem of the restaurant. Now my father is sick and in the hospital. I am the owner of this restaurant for the time being. Now I want to temporarily invite you to join the restaurant."
Ye Chui smiled and nodded: "I was planning to do just that. If something happens at the hotel, it's my duty to help."
"That's good. As for your salary..." Peng Shun turned his head and looked at Lu Bing and others coldly, and continued, "Honglou Hotel pays a total of 300,000 yuan per month to all chefs, and the average daily chef expenditure is 10,000 yuan. Since you are replacing these chefs, Mr. Ye, and I think your level is much higher than these people, at least three times their level, then I will offer you a salary of 30,000 yuan a day!"
"What?" Pang Shun's words shocked everyone.
The faces of Lu Bing and others became even uglier. Pang Shun's salary for Ye Chui meant that Ye Chui earned three times as much as all the chefs combined, 30,000 yuan a day... Lu Bing's monthly salary was 30,000 yuan. This price was simply a naked contempt for Lu Bing!
"As for you..." Peng Shun continued to look at Lu Bing and the others, "I won't let you resign, but I won't pay you any salary from now on. You get what you work for, so you can figure it out!"
Chefs like Lu Bing didn't dare to resign on their own, but the restaurant industry didn't have strict basic salary restrictions. It was only natural that Lu Bing and others wouldn't get paid if they didn't work. Originally, Lu Bing wanted to threaten the restaurant with resignation, but now he's restricted himself...
A few of the chefs couldn't help but want to stand up, but they were glared at by Lu Bing and stood back again.
Lu Bing snorted coldly and looked at Peng Shun intently: "Okay, I want to see how long you can hold on!"
After saying this, he angrily left the kitchen with several other chefs.
The other people in the kitchen looked at Ye Chui with admiration. Thirty thousand yuan a day was simply a sky-high price.
The waitresses' eyes lit up, thinking that Ye Chui was so cool and cool at such a young age, and was also able to make money, which made him a perfect boyfriend...
Lin Wei glanced at the waiters warily, and then looked at Ye Chui with a hint of joy in her eyes. Her concept of money was not very clear like Han Yuyan's. After all, she was a rich girl. However, she could still feel how great the price of 30,000 yuan a day was. She couldn't help thinking that her boyfriend was amazing.
In fact, the price offered by Pang Shun was more to strike back at Lu Bing and others. Ye Chui also happened to be in luck and encountered this opportunity, which allowed him to get such a sky-high salary.
However... Ye Chui didn't seem to be panicked at all because of receiving such a high salary.
Thirty thousand a day? Well, it's barely comparable to his salary as a restaurant chef in his previous life when he was at his peak... (~^~)
