Chapter 308: The Hongmen Banquet

Wang Decai is a real villain who is obsessed with money, greedy, and narrow-minded.

He had been the accountant at Qingfeng Restaurant for many years, handling countless amounts of money. He would make a profit more or less every day, so it could be said that he kept every penny he took.

Although Wu Shiren was on guard, he arranged for his daughter Wu Cuihua to keep watch in front.

But Wang Decai was so cunning that Wu Cuihua couldn't see any clues at all.

The reason why he did bad things to Chen Feng was not only because he was jealous of Chen Feng's family's wealth, but more because he was afraid of

He was afraid that Chen Feng would start a new business after leaving. If that happened, the business of Qingfeng Restaurant would definitely be affected, and he would not be able to enrich himself.

At this time, several chefs in the kitchen were drinking tea and chatting.

Wang Decai lifted the door curtain, Zhao Tian, ​​Wang Qi and others laughed and joked,

"Hey, Brother Wang, how come you have time to come to our kitchen?"

"That's right, don't get your clothes dirty in this greasy place."

Wang Decai smiled and glared at a few of them, then waved his hand, "Stop being so rude. Come here, everyone. I have something to say."

Zhao Tian, ​​Wang Qi and the others hurriedly stood up and came closer, "Brother, what's going on here that makes you so serious?"

Wang Decai glanced at Chen Feng, who was squatting outside working hard, and whispered a few words, "Do you understand everything? We will act according to the situation later."

Zhao Tian sneered, "Don't worry, the brothers have disliked him for a long time."

"That's right. He looked so weak, but he actually learned all our skills secretly. I have wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time." Wang Qi had a sinister look on his face, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

These people all had a good relationship with Wang Decai. They usually ate and drank together and had long regarded Chen Feng as a thorn in their side. They were afraid that his departure would be detrimental to them, and they were suffering from the fact that no one stood up for them. Now, after hearing what Wang Decai said, they all nodded in agreement.

Wang Decai nodded with satisfaction, "Alright, let's get ready."

After explaining everything, he walked to the backyard door, walked forward with a smile on his face, "Brother Chen Feng, you are still eating the big spoon, stop and rest for a while!"

Chen Feng was stunned and felt a little puzzled. This guy usually stayed in the accounting office all day and never came to the kitchen. How could he be so leisurely and elegant today?

Although he felt it was strange, he didn't think much about it. "I'm not tired. I have to get these iron pots out before dark."

"Okay, don't do these things anymore. Hurry up and come with me to the front hall. The shopkeeper specially asked me to come here to invite you."

"Invite me?" Chen Feng was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Wang Decai chuckled and said, "Don't make a fuss. The shopkeeper just wants to treat you to a simple meal."

Chen Feng was shocked when he heard this. Wu Shiren never looked at him straight in the eye, but today he asked the accountant to invite him to dinner. What was going on?

As the saying goes, if someone pays tribute to you without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. If a weasel pays New Year's greeting to a chicken, he has no good intentions.

This Wang Decai is Wu Shiren's lackey. If these two get together, no good will happen. It's better not to go.

Having made up his mind, he quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Please, Mr. Wang, take me to thank the shop owner. I appreciate his kindness, but I'm not hungry now. You guys should go eat first!"

Seeing Chen Feng buried his head in the big spoon again, Wang Decai could not help but gnashing his teeth in anger. He was really fucking pulling him away and even backing away. He was so shameless that he even took advantage of him.

He suppressed his inner fluctuations and forced a smile.

"Don't worry, brother. You're not going anywhere. The shopkeeper is waiting for you. Let's go!"

As he said that, he pulled Chen Feng up.

Chen Feng wanted to refuse, but Wang Decai dragged him there forcefully, so he had to go to the private room reluctantly.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Zhao Tian, ​​Wang Qi and other chefs there, and I was startled again.

Wu Shiren hurriedly stood up and pulled him to sit beside him, smiling,

"Chen Feng, you've been here for over three years, but the business has been so busy that we haven't had time to sit together and chat. Today is a rare free day, so I've specially arranged a banquet for you and the brothers in our store to have some fun together."

As soon as the words fell, everyone began to echo them.

"The shopkeeper is right. Brother Chen Feng has been in our shop for such a long time, and we haven't had a drink together yet. We must get drunk today."

"Yes, we have worked together for many years, so we must take this opportunity to have a good drink."

Hearing these words, Chen Feng felt even more confused. Usually, these chefs were arrogant and treated him like a servant. But what was wrong with these people today? They actually treated him as brothers. Did they have a change of heart, or did they have other intentions?

Seeing him bow his head and remain silent, Wang Decai raised his glass and said, "Chen Feng, let's all raise our glasses together."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

After a round of toasts, Wang Decai personally filled Chen Feng's glass with wine, smiling, "Chen Feng, let's have a drink alone."

Chen Feng felt a little tipsy and waved his hands repeatedly, "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I still have to work soon and can't drink anymore."

"What kind of work do you do? Don't try to take advantage of the big spoon anymore." Wang Decai said, pausing for a moment. "You are not a small handyman anymore. How can you do those rough and tiring jobs?"

"Mr. Wang, what are you talking about? I don't have any special skills. I can only do what I can."

"Come on, brother, stop pretending. The dishes you made last time are something some people couldn't make even if they worked in the kitchen their entire lives. With your current skills, you're a seasoned chef. How can you still say you don't have any special skills?"

Chen Feng was shocked, secretly blaming himself for being so eager to learn new skills that he couldn't help but let those tough master chefs find out that he was stealing skills. He was afraid that something bad would happen.

He quickly explained, "Those were just random things I did. They're not worth mentioning at all."

Wang Decai shook his head and waved his hands, "Don't be so modest. I have never made a mistake in judging people in my life. You are amazing!"

"Yes, Decai. I've long seen that Chen Feng is a rare talent." Wu Shiren took over the conversation. "Chen Feng, in fact, since the moment you came to our restaurant, I felt that you were different. I knew you would have a great future. Look, you've learned cooking skills without realizing it. You really didn't let my hard work down!"

Chen Feng was disgusted by these hypocritical words. He wanted to raise his hand and slap him in the face to help him wake up. What he said was really better than what he sang!

Before he could speak, Wu Shiren continued,

"Perhaps you're feeling resentful, thinking I've been too harsh on you, beating and scolding you, forcing you to do menial tasks for years. Actually, this is all with good intentions. I just want to use this to temper your will. As the old saying goes, 'When Heaven bestows a great responsibility on a man, it will first subject him to toil and starve.'"

As he spoke, he filled a glass of wine, handed it to Chen Feng respectfully, and said very politely,

"Xiao Feng, you've learned a lot now. From now on, you're no longer a laborer doing odd jobs. I solemnly declare that you are the new head chef of our Qingshui Restaurant, and your salary will be the same as Zhao Tian, ​​Wang Qi, and the others. If you think it's okay, then drink this glass of wine."
