"A man who knows the current situation is a hero?" Ye Chui repeated this sentence and nodded with a smile, "Of course I have heard this sentence. Honglou will be sold to someone else sooner or later. I am also sure of this."
Hearing Ye Chui say this, Fan Hong immediately laughed: "Then things will be easy. Master Ye, you should know that I am determined to get this Honglou."
"I've also heard this from Master Lu, but..." Ye Cui paused, "Mr. Fan is not the only one who is determined to get Honglou."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Fan Hong was stunned, thinking that maybe there are other people who have also set their sights on Honglou. From what Ye Chui said, it seems that the other party has already contacted Ye Chui? His expression was slightly cold, "Master Ye, can you tell me who else wants to snatch this restaurant from me?"
"Haha." Ye Chui smiled at Fan Hong, "That's me."
Fan Hong: “…”
He felt that Ye Chui must be joking.
"Are you serious?" Fan Hong stared at Ye Chui.
Ye Chui nodded.
"Hmph, Master Ye, you really know how to joke. Do you know how much this restaurant is worth? Without tens of millions, don't even think about taking it over!" Fan Hong said coldly. He remembered that Lu Bing had mentioned that Ye Chui seemed to be the boyfriend of Lin Zhengdao's daughter. At that time, Fan Hong didn't pay much attention to this matter, but now he understood that Ye Chui wanted to buy this restaurant. Could it be that he wanted to borrow money from Lin Zhengdao? He couldn't help but reveal a mocking expression. Lin Wei was only seventeen or eighteen years old. How many relationships between men and women of this age could be taken seriously? Did Ye Chui think that he could borrow tens of millions from Lin Zhengdao just by relying on his identity as Lin Wei's boyfriend
What a dream!
—Of course he could not have imagined that Lin Zhengdao would not only lend Ye Chu tens of millions, but also scramble to lend money to Ye Chui…
"Mr. Fan, money is not the important issue. The problem is that no matter whether I can take over Honglou, this Honglou cannot be named Fan." Ye Chui could probably guess what Fan Hong was thinking, and he smiled and said, "Do you think Peng Shun will still transfer this place to you if Peng Hong is sick and hospitalized because of you?"
"I told you, I'm determined to take over this place, these are not a problem!" Fan Hong snorted coldly, he looked at Ye Chui coldly, "I'll tell you one last thing, leave Hong Lou, when Hong Lou is taken over by me, you will have a place in the kitchen, even as the head chef, I can consider letting you be the head chef - you are only a one-star chef, being the head chef of a five-star hotel is probably an unprecedented honor, you should think it through."
"Sorry, I not only want to be the head chef, I also want to be the owner of the restaurant." Ye Cui said with a smile without hesitation.
"Well, I've seen a lot of arrogant young people, but I've never seen a madman like you, Master Ye." Fan Hong had completely lost his temper. He threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and stomped on it hard. "I came here with full sincerity to negotiate with you, but Master Ye, you refused like this. I'm very disappointed in you. Don't blame me for being rude to you next time!"
After saying this, he immediately turned around angrily and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Fan." Ye Cui suddenly called him again.
"What's wrong?" Fan Hong turned around with a sneer, thinking that Ye Chui had changed his mind.
Ye Chui pointed at the cigarette butt on the ground and said to Fan Hong, "I'm sorry, smoking is prohibited here, and littering is also prohibited. Please pick up the cigarette butt."
Fan Hong: “…”
Seeing that Fan Hong didn't move, Ye Chui said to Fan Hong seriously again: "There is a sanitation system for hotel venues in the Gourmet Law. Five-star hotels must keep the lobby clean and tidy. Smoking is not allowed, not to mention littering cigarette butts. Although this is a trivial matter, if it is discovered by the Gourmet Association's sanitation supervision department, it will have a certain impact on the approval of the hotel's qualifications... So, Mr. Fan, since you want to open a big restaurant, you must not want to have any stains on your resume at this time, right?"
Fan Hong: “…”
After glaring at Ye Chui fiercely, Fan Hong finally bent down to pick up the cigarette butt and left the restaurant angrily.
Throwing cigarette butts everywhere in a restaurant can be a big or small matter, but now is the era of gourmet food, if this matter is caught and publicized, it may indeed cause some trouble...
Watching Fan Hong leave, the faint smile on Ye Chui's face gradually turned serious.
This Fan Hong is obviously not a decent person. I wonder what kind of trouble he will cause next...
…
On the street outside Honglou.
Fan Hong angrily threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and looked at Hong Lou with an indescribably cold look.
"Mr. Fan, how was your talk with that guy?" Lu Bing walked over with a flattering smile on his face.
Fan Hong glared at Lu Bing somewhat coldly.
Lu Bing immediately knew that the conversation must not have gone well, and quickly shut his mouth.
"Don't blame me for being rude to this kid who refused to accept my toast..." Fan Hong said coldly. He thought of something and turned to look at Lu Bing. "You and all the chefs in the hotel who have reached the three-star level or above should all go to Hong Lou and resign. The reason why Hong Lou can still operate normally is because of your chef titles. If you resign, Hong Lou will not be able to continue operating in the short term."
According to the provisions of the gastronomy law, a five-star hotel must have at least one three-star chef or above in order to open. If Lu Bing and others were to resign, it would be unlikely to find a three-star chef or above in a short period of time, so Honglou would naturally have to close.
But when Lu Bing heard what Fan Hong said, his face suddenly changed: "Mr. Fan, this... If I resign, I will not be able to continue to work in Honglou within five months, this..."
The reason why Lu Bing obeyed Fan Hong's words was that if Honglou was sold to Fan Hong, Lu Bing would continue to serve as the head chef and his salary and benefits would be greatly increased. But if he resigned, even if Honglou was sold to Fan Hong, the conditions that attracted him would naturally not be achieved.
"What are you afraid of?" Fan Hong glanced at Lu Bing, thought for a moment, and then patted his shoulder again, his voice softening, "I can promise that I will compensate you within five months after you resign. You should understand that if I can't get Honglou, the conditions I promised you before will not be fulfilled at all."
"This..." Lu Bing looked hesitant.
If he didn't resign, his five-star title would only bring some convenience to Ye Chui. Fan Hong might not be able to obtain the management rights of Honglou, and he wouldn't get any benefits at all. If he resigned, although he couldn't continue to work for five months, Fan Hong guaranteed to give him the compensation he deserved...
Lu Bing quickly made up his mind: "Mr. Fan, I can resign from the restaurant right now along with several other chefs with three stars or above. In the next five months, I and other chefs with three stars or above will be compensated, and you must not break your promise about the position of head chef that you promised me."
"Of course, I will definitely promise you." There was a hint of mockery in Fan Hong's eyes, but his expression was extremely sincere.
"Okay then!" Lu Bing nodded. "I'll contact the others to resign from Hong Lou. As long as we resign, Hong Lou, a five-star hotel, will not be able to continue operating with only Ye Chui, a one-star chef!"
Having said that, Lu Bing was about to take out his cell phone to contact other chefs, as those chefs basically all followed his lead.
But Fan Hong thought of Ye Chui's indifferent face that didn't take his threat seriously, and suddenly he thought of something else, and stopped Lu Bing: "Wait a minute, I have some relationship with a senior manager of the Food Association. I will try to contact him in the next two days. When you resign, I will call him to the hotel. You just resigned and immediately asked the manager to close this place. By then, even if they can find a chef with more than three stars, the news of the hotel being closed will be enough to make them suffer. Humph, Ye Chui is an ungrateful guy. I want to see how pitiful he looks after I hit him!"
When Lu Bing heard what Fan Hong said, he nodded repeatedly, thinking that Mr. Fan's methods were indeed extraordinary.
…
After a busy day in Honglou Hotel, it was already night.
After receiving the boss of a company, Ye Chui and Lin Wei left the hotel and walked towards the former residence of Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei. Lin Wei was very excited on the way.
"I have never been here, but I have heard my mother mention the house here. She was a rich girl at that time. She had a falling out with her family in order to be with my father and moved to that small house with my father. Every time my mother mentioned this, she would look very happy. She said that although she and my father had moved to many houses later and the houses were getting bigger and bigger, the first house was the one that made her feel the happiest." Lin Wei said with some longing.
"Yes, happiness has nothing to do with the size of the house. What's important is the feelings of two people." Ye Chui agreed with a smile, and then he couldn't help thinking, although that's what he said, if he was to be with Lin Wei in the future, their first house must be big enough and comfortable enough. This is a man's responsibility.
The two chatted as they walked back.
Ye Chui's cell phone suddenly rang, it was Han Yuyan calling.
Ye Cui irresponsibly came to Yanjing with Lin Wei, and his two younger sisters were left in Xizhou. Although Ye Cui was a little worried, he was not too worried. After all, Han Yuyan was taking care of them. Although this sister could be a little funny sometimes, she was quite reliable most of the time.
The reason I'm calling now is just to report on what has happened over the past two days.
For example, Wang Shiyu took off her head teacher's wig in front of all the students at a school meeting, and Tian Xiaodu was scolded by school leaders for half an hour for pretending to falsify accounts. An Jing participated in a mathematics competition in Xizhou city and won first place. Han Yuyan pretended to be her parent and went to school to receive half an hour of praise from the principal.
Because of this incident, Tian Xiaodu has been looking resentful tonight...
While discussing these things on the phone, Ye Cui and Lin Wei also came to the first house that Lin Zhengdao and Wu Haimei bought.
The house was small, only about 50 square meters, with one bedroom and one living room. Although no one had lived there for a long time, it was kept clean. Lin Wei toured the place inside and out and was very satisfied with it.
But after ending the call, Ye Chui suddenly discovered an extremely serious problem—
"Weiwei, this house only has one bedroom..." (~^~)
