Inside the lobby of Honglou, seeing Old Han holding Ye Chui's shoulders and talking to him in an extremely friendly and enthusiastic manner, everyone was shocked and petrified, and there was complete silence.
Pan Qingguo and others were shocked when they learned that Ye Chui was the boyfriend of Lin Zhengdao's daughter, but... What did Old Han mean by "I still want to marry my granddaughter to you"
They were very sure that Old Han could not be Lin Zhengdao's father...
The relationship between Ye Chui and Lin Zhengdao shocked them, but they could still accept it. After all, Ye Chui was very talented in cooking and had great courage, so it was not unacceptable for Lin Wei to be with him.
But who is Mr. Han? In addition to being a successful entrepreneur, he is also a world-renowned gourmet. His words can determine the success or failure of a restaurant. He is the leader of the gourmet world. In some ways, his influence on the chefs and waiters in the gourmet world is even greater.
But such a person actually held Ye Chui's arm and talked to him in an extremely friendly way, and even blamed him for not visiting him after arriving in Yanjing...
This intimate tone is clearly the way a grandfather speaks to his grandson.
Ye Chui was obviously not Mr. Han's grandson, but Mr. Han seemed to be very interested in having Ye Chui as his grandson-in-law.
This almost made everyone's three views collapse.
In comparison, the blow suffered by Pan Qingguo and others was relatively small. The ones who suffered the most were Fan Hong, Shi Dingping, Lu Bing and others.
This was Old Han, a man they rarely saw on weekdays, and every time they saw him they had to flatter him. He was a big shot they couldn't curry favor with, but now... he had such a close relationship with Ye Chui
Almost immediately after Old Han patted Ye Chui's shoulder and said those words, several people felt a strong sense of regret in their hearts. To go against Ye Chui was to go against Old Han, and to go against Old Han... was to go against the entire food industry!
Shi Dingping felt like he was about to suffocate and swallowed hard. He turned around and glared at Fan Hong fiercely. If looks could kill, Fan Hong would surely be dead by now.
In the past two days, Fan Hong came to him one after another and brought him huge benefits. He finally agreed to help him. It was just a blow to a small chef with only one star. Honglou Hotel has also been in decline recently. How big a deal could it be... But now, Old Han was implicated!
Shi Dingping seemed to hear the sound of his future vanishing into thin air...
Fan Hong did not react at all to Shi Dingping's fierce gaze. At that moment, he had not yet come to his senses.
Old Han, whom he had tried so hard to contact but failed, was now chatting with Ye Chui in a friendly and cheerful manner. This huge contrast made him feel ashamed!
He came back from abroad and got a sum of money. He was so excited that he wanted to open a big hotel in Yanjing. Everything was great. He had his eyes on Honglou and was determined to get it, but suddenly a young man appeared to stop him. A young man? Of course, he didn't take it seriously. Even if Ye Shu directly rejected his kindness, he didn't take it seriously at all.
If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. He has plenty of ways to bring this young man and Hong Lou down to pieces.
But... But Mr. Han appeared.
In the food industry, Han Lao's status is very valuable. He certainly knows how valuable it is. It is useless to play any tricks in front of him. His status and influence have made him completely immune to any attacks on food...
Lu Bing and others standing beside Fan Hong were completely dumbfounded. As a chef, Mr. Han's identity was even more special to them.
If Mr. Han commented that their food was delicious, just this one sentence would instantly double their value!
When Old Han first arrived in Xizhou, Ye Chui treated Old Han to a chicken dinner. Later, for some reason, all the credit went to Tian Xiaodu. After Tian Xiaodu became Ye Chui's apprentice, he mentioned to Ye Chui that because of his successful entertainment of Old Han, several restaurants offered him a salary three times that of Wan Lai Fu to invite him to work.
From this we can see how much benefit a close relationship with Mr. Han will bring!
Although Lu Bing is a five-star chef, he had the honor of meeting Mr. Han before, but in Mr. Han's eyes, chefs like him were like ants. He would not pay much attention to him at all, and there was no problem with the dishes he made...
If, if Mr. Han could taste his own food and say it was delicious, his life would be very successful from then on... And now, the opportunity has come!
Lu Bing seemed to have thought of a possibility, and his face turned red with excitement for a moment - he walked towards Ye Chui and Old Han.
Ye Chui was actually a little surprised at this moment. Although Old Han was usually kind to him, he seldom showed it so directly. It was as if he treated him as his grandson. Not to mention that the soul in Ye Chui's body was already thirty years old, Old Han was already ninety-seven years old, which was more than enough to be his grandfather. In fact, Ye Chui was also stunned by this old man as his grandfather.
But isn't his reaction at this time a bit too much
Soon, Ye Chui took a look at all the people who were almost petrified in the hall, and his eyes stayed on Lin Wei's face, who looked a little unhappy, at the kitchen door for a moment. He finally understood what Old Han was planning. This old man was a shrewd man. He immediately understood the current situation as soon as he entered the restaurant, so he pretended to be so friendly just to help Ye Chui teach Fan Hong and Shi Dingping a lesson...
Just help the old man, why would he say things like “I want to marry my granddaughter to you”
Isn't this intentional misunderstanding
—It’s not Ye Chui’s fault that he didn’t notice that Mr. Han was trying to bring him and Han Yuyan together. It’s mainly because it’s hard to develop feelings for Han when he’s with Sister Han…
"Mr. Han, I didn't expect you to come to our Honglou Hotel today. You are such an honored guest. Welcome, welcome!" After a moment of silence in the hotel, Lu Bing's enthusiastic voice rang out. He walked over to Ye Chui and Mr. Han with a smile, and introduced himself with a smile, "I am Lu Bing, the head chef of Honglou. Mr. Han, you are welcome today. I will definitely treat you well."
After saying this, Lu Bing looked at Ye Chui with a pleading look.
He hoped that Ye Chui could help him without caring about what happened before.
The reason why he still counted on Ye Chui to help him at this time was because he knew that if Hong Lou wanted to operate normally, his chef certificate was indispensable. In the current situation, there would be no benefit for Ye Chui to continue to make things difficult for him, right
But he was wrong.
"Master Lu, you are such a joker." Ye Chui naturally understood Lu Bing's plan. He sneered, "Didn't you just resign from Honglou? What qualifications do you have to entertain Mr. Han?"
"This... this..." Lu Bing's face was tense, and he forced out a smile awkwardly, "I was just joking, haha, just joking."
"Really? It turned out to be a joke." Ye Chui said with a smile. Lu Bing was delighted, but then he heard Ye Chui continue, "Even if it was a joke, since you have already resigned, then just resign..."
He turned to look at Pan Qingguo next to him, "Brother Pan, Boss Peng asked you to take full charge of the restaurant's affairs. Chef Lu and the other chefs have just resigned. What do you think we should do?"
"I've resigned, so I've resigned." Pan Qingguo snorted coldly. He was already upset that Lu Bing was ungrateful and made things difficult for Hong Lou. Naturally, he wouldn't say anything nice at this time. "The vice president of the Yanjing Gourmet Association is right here. You can't re-enter this restaurant for five months after resigning. Master Lu, do you understand this?"
"I was just joking just now..." Lu Bing said hurriedly.
"Hmph, sorry, I took it seriously. You are no longer Honglou's chef." Pan Qingguo said coldly.
Ye Chui has such a close relationship with Old Han. In this case, wouldn't it be extremely easy to find a chef with three stars or above in a matter of minutes with Old Han's help
Once Old Han spoke, not to mention five-star chefs, even six-star and seven-star chefs would probably rush over to help!
"This..." Lu Bing looked at Ye Chui anxiously, but found that Old Han was looking at him, and the expression on Old Han's face was definitely not friendly... He subconsciously said, "Old Han, I..."
"I hate chefs like you the most. Get away from me as soon as possible, so as not to disturb my enjoyment of dinner later." Old Han said indifferently.
Lu Bing felt like he was falling into hell, and his body trembled subconsciously. According to Mr. Han, a good review could make a chef's status soar, but a bad review could lead to hell...
At this moment, not only Lu Bing, but also the other chefs became a little nervous.
Lu Bing wanted to say something, but he dared not utter a single word. He walked out of the restaurant dejectedly, and the other chefs followed closely behind him.
Mr. Han then looked at Fan Hong and Shi Dingping again: "What are you two doing? Why are you coming to the restaurant but not eating?"
"Mr. Han, I am Shi Dingping, the vice president of the Yanjing Gourmet Association, and I am also a three-star chef." Shi Dingping hurriedly approached and said, "I met you at the last food banquet held at the Guojing Pavilion."
"The banquet at the National Capital Pavilion?" Old Han frowned. "There were so many people in the room at that time, I don't remember them anymore."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shi Dingping's face.
Ye Chui suddenly thought of something at this time. He looked at Fan Hong with a smile, and then said to Mr. Han, "Mr. Han, if Honglou wants to continue operating, it needs a chef above three stars to take charge. Lu Bing and his people have already resigned. I am only a one-star chef, so I need you to help me find a three-star chef to help."
"What else are you looking for?" Old Han pointed at Shi Dingping casually, "It's him."
"I'll start working at Honglou right now." Shi Dingping said hurriedly.
Fan Hong on the side: "..."
Originally, he spent a lot of money to find Shi Dingping to help close down Honglou. Now, not only has Honglou not been closed down, but Shi Dingping has also become Honglou's nominal chef? (~^~)
