"Boss, we will join Manhanlou sincerely in the future!"
Ye Chui won all three cooking competitions. According to the agreement he had made with the chefs before, they could not resign without receiving salary within the first five months after joining Man Han Lou, and they could stay or leave after five months. This agreement was only verbal, but no chef objected at this time.
And Ye Chui would not go back on his word out of kindness - he was not only a chef but also the owner of the restaurant, so the necessary rules had to be followed. Even if these chefs respected him for his cooking skills, if they thought he was a kind-hearted and easy-going owner, then it would certainly not be easy for them to manage the restaurant in the future.
Next, Ye Chui asked Han Yuyan to help him handle the entry procedures for these chefs.
Han Yuyan is very useful in this regard. She studied hotel management in college, and it was Mr. Han who suggested that she choose this major. However, after following Ye Chui, because she opened a small restaurant serving home-style meals at the beginning, her knowledge had no place to be used. Now, her knowledge has been fully put to good use.
The hotel is still in the final stage of decoration. According to Ye Chui's plan, it will be officially opened on New Year's Eve. For the next half month or so, these chefs will not have to work in the hotel, but they will be busy for the official opening.
These chefs were originally instigated by Gao Yuesheng to embarrass Ye Chui, but now they are all convinced by Ye Chui and come over to say hello to him when they leave.
"Boss, please take care of me in the future. I hope that working in Manhanlou will help me improve my cooking skills."
"The buns I just had reminded me of the first time my mom steamed buns for me when I was a kid. They were really delicious. Boss, your cooking skills are amazing. I admire you very much and I am completely convinced!"
"Boss, I hope our Man Han Lou can become the most powerful restaurant in Yanjing in the future!"
These chefs originally addressed Ye Chui as Boss Ye, but now it became Boss. The difference of one word represents their complete submission to Ye Chui and they truly regard themselves as a member of the restaurant.
Gao Yuesheng's secretary completed the handover with Han Yuyan, and left the hotel dejectedly. When he was outside the hotel, he happened to see Ye Chui bidding farewell to a group of chefs warmly. It was very cold on the street, and the cold wind made the secretary shiver.
When a big restaurant opens, the boss is responsible for the operation, but the chef is the top priority of the restaurant. There is always a period of adjustment between the boss and the chef, and in the era of gourmet food, due to the importance of the chef, most chefs have quite bad tempers, and the boss has to work hard if he wants to have a harmonious relationship with the chef. Gao Yuesheng adheres to the Confucian businessman's way and treats his chefs with courtesy. It took him a long time to gain the chef's recognition.
But Ye Chui only needed one cooking competition to achieve this step.
It only took an hour to completely eradicate Gao Yuesheng's influence on these chefs...
This is what the secretary thinks is the most terrifying thing about Ye Chui.
Perhaps, it won’t be long before the reputation of Manhan Building surpasses that of Shenghua Garden
Thinking of this, the secretary couldn't help but shudder again.
He dialed Gao Yuesheng's number.
"We lost?" Gao Yuesheng's somewhat indifferent voice came over, as if he had already prepared for the result.
"Yes, boss. Besides, we lost completely." The secretary said sadly, "Those chefs are probably completely devoted to Ye Chui now, and they completely regard themselves as members of Manhanlou. I think they will be very happy to have the opportunity to join Manhanlou in the future..."
"Humph!" Gao Yuesheng snorted coldly, "These people are really ungrateful, but it doesn't matter. We still have two six-star chefs in Shenghua Garden. The foundation is still there. It's easy to recruit a few more four- and five-star chefs. Manhanlou, Ye Chui, I admit that I underestimated him before, but... I won't do that next time!"
The secretary was cheered up. Being able to run a seven-star hotel in Yanjing, Gao Yuesheng must have his strengths. He had lost his wife and his army to Ye Chui before because he underestimated the enemy. Once Gao Yuesheng got serious, Ye Chui would definitely not be his opponent!
Then the secretary hurriedly said, "Boss, what are you going to do?"
"We've been badly hurt this time, let's heal ourselves first!" Gao Yuesheng said calmly, "After the Chinese New Year, the most important banquet in Yanjing, China, will be held. I want to win back a victory at this banquet!"
…
"Master, these chefs have already filled out their employment contracts. I will take the documents to the Food Association for registration later. From now on, they will officially be the chefs of our Manhanlou." Han Yuyan happily handed a stack of documents to Ye Chui with a big smile on his face - the initial investment for opening a new restaurant, especially a large one like Manhanlou, will be huge, and the chef's salary is an important expense. Many restaurants go bankrupt due to poor management in the early stages.
The chef team at Manhanlou is definitely one of the best in the country. Tian Xiaodu, Dong Qian, and Qin Yiyue all received friendship prices. The most important thing is that Yin Yuehua and others did not receive a penny in the first five months. How big of a deal is this
But then Han Yuyan said with some worry: "Master, we really don't give them a penny? Isn't this a bit too much? After all, he is a four or five-star chef, and he is different from the eldest brother. If this goes on, they will definitely have opinions."
"I won't give them a cent of their salary. This is the rule." Ye Chui said seriously, but then he added, "Of course, I will give them some red envelopes as subsidies if appropriate. I know that people should not do things to the extreme. You don't have to worry."
"Well, Master, I am most assured of your work." Han Yuyan smiled sweetly and patted the documents in his hand. "Then without further delay, I will go to the Food Association to register. Hehe, when I called Grandpa yesterday, he also told me that you might not be able to control these chefs. If something goes wrong, let me call him to inform him. I will call him and tell him the good news right away."
Having said this, Sister Han happily left the hotel.
When Han Yuyan first followed Ye Chui, although she called Ye Chui "Master", she actually regarded Ye Chui more as a younger brother who needed to be taken care of by her. But now this view has obviously changed greatly.
Ye Chui watched Han Yuyan leave. The waiters of the hotel were still standing in the distance, looking at Ye Chui and whispering, with reverence in their eyes. The construction workers who came to carry out the decoration had not started work yet and were discussing what had just happened. Ye Chui smiled and walked over to greet them to start work. Qin Yiyue and An Xiaoxiao also participated in the decoration work of the hotel.
Time passed quickly and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
When Ye Cui was about to prepare lunch, someone suddenly visited Manhan Building.
This time, the visitors were acquaintances: Lu Bing and several other chefs.
These people were the original chefs of Hong Lou, but they were bewitched by Fan Hong to go against the boss Peng Hong, and later resigned from Hong Lou.
The original colleagues of Honglou did not have a good impression of these chefs.
The first person to see Lu Bing and the others come in was Su Xin. She was cleaning the hotel lobby with a few waiters. When she saw Lu Bing, she immediately walked over and asked in a cold voice, "Master Lu, what are you doing here?"
Lu Bing glanced at Su Xin and walked straight inside: "It has nothing to do with you. I'm here to look for Boss Ye. Where is he?"
"The boss is busy inside, what are you going to do?" Su Xin stopped Lu Bing.
"You, a waiter, dare to stop me? Get out of my way!" Lu Bing said coldly with some displeasure.
"You are no longer the head chef here, and we are not open for business, so you are not qualified to come here!" Su Xin said somewhat toughly. Some other waiters also gathered around. They did not have any good feelings towards Lu Bing and other chefs and were very unhappy with them.
Seeing this, Lu Bing's face turned even worse. He was tall and strong, and waved his fist: "I want to see Ye Chui, get out of my way, do you hear me, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
A simple and honest voice asked. The speaker was Yu Yan. He walked behind Su Xin and was looking at Lu Bing in a "kind" manner.
Yu Yan is tall and strong, at least half a head taller than Lu Bing. Although he has a harmless smile on his face, one can still feel a strong sense of oppression. He is Ye Chu's bodyguard now, so naturally he has to stay in the hotel every day, and he also has a good impression of Su Xin.
Lu Bing swallowed hard and looked at Yu Yan tremblingly: "I'm here to see Ye Chui! Your Man Han Lou has just opened, and you must be in urgent need of chefs. As long as I am willing to join Man Han Lou, Ye Chui will definitely agree. Don't make things difficult for me, otherwise I will let Ye Chui fire you all!"
Fan Hong was disheartened by yesterday's blow and contacted someone this morning to transfer the shop in Hanxiangyuan. He called Lu Bing two hours ago, told him everything and then left. Lu Bing and the chefs who had followed Lu Bing to leave Honglou became anxious and gathered together in a hurry. After understanding the situation, they immediately came to find Ye Chui.
Now that Manhanlou is so powerful, if they join Manhanlou, they may get more benefits than what Fan Hong promised them...
Fan Hong is confident that he is a five-star chef. Given his status, Ye Chui will definitely value him.
However, after he said this, the waiters at Manhanlou looked at him as if he was an idiot: As long as he was willing to join Manhanlou, Ye Chui would definitely agree? I really don't know where his confidence came from.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Chui's inquiring voice came from behind, and the waiter hurriedly made way.
Lu Bing's eyes lit up, and he walked towards Ye Chui with an eager look on his face: "Boss Ye, I have good news for you. We are going to join Manhanlou. I am a five-star chef, and we have a four-star chef, and the rest are three-star chefs. As long as we join Manhanlou, we will definitely be able to take the chef strength of Manhanlou to a higher level. Of course, the premise is that you have to fire all the waiters from Honglou. Just say a word if you agree or not."
Ye Chui: “… I don’t agree.” (~^~)
