Chapter 166 Lu Peide is attacked

"Of course." Yue Ning scooped a spoonful of curry and poured it on the rice, "But you are not an ordinary chef, let me think about it..."

"If you are worried that after I learn this, I will run away and open my own restaurant. Then we can sign an agreement of more than ten years, guaranteeing that I will serve Ningyan for at least ten years." Lu Peide said very sincerely, "Ms. Yue, please give me this opportunity."

Yue Ning mixed the rice and said, "That's not what I meant. I was thinking about what conditions I could offer to keep a master chef like you."

"You have a very good reputation. That person kept telling me that it would be great if I could join Ning Yan. You treated Ning Yan's chef very well. I am already very satisfied if I could do that."

"People will change. When you find out in the future that more than half of your customers come to eat for your cooking skills, but you only earn about 200,000 yuan a year, what do you think?" Yue Ning asked him.

Lu Peide opened his mouth slightly and took a breath: "Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars?"

"yes!"

"I'll be so happy that I'll go crazy." Lu Peide didn't know how to describe it. "I only make 40-odd yuan in Beijing, and my second uncle only makes 70-odd yuan. One year can make up for a lifetime."

"Brother, we have come to Gangcheng. This is a capitalist society and we need to change our mindset. Your craftsmanship is an intangible asset, and your title as the inheritor of Lu's cuisine is also an intangible asset that can be converted into cash." Yue Ning explained these business names to him.

"I'm just a cook, I don't understand these." Lu Peide shook his head.

"You don't understand, so I have to explain it to you clearly. I plan to cooperate with you for a long time, so I can't take advantage of you temporarily. From what I heard just now, the skills are yours, but as for the title of inheritor of Lu's cuisine, think about it, your cousin will be jealous of your uncle for passing on the skills to you, let alone using the title of inheritor of Lu's cuisine to do business. I'm not worried about you, but I am worried that one day he will see that you have earned tens of millions of assets in the name of the Lu family, what do you think he will think?" Yue Ning lowered his head to eat.

"Ms. Yue, I trust you. You make the arrangements."

Yue Ning shook his head: "Don't tell me you trust me yet. After you finish the competition and win the prize, you will join Ning Yan as a master chef. We will get used to each other first, and then you can use this time to learn about intellectual property rights, management, and other aspects. We are going to open a second Ning Yan here in Wan Chai, and now you want to join. I think we should just differentiate ourselves. The Ning Yan in Repulse Bay serves southern Cantonese cuisine. If you finally decide to be a chef and get paid, then the new restaurant will still be called Ning Yan. If you understand it thoroughly, we will set up a new company and establish a new brand called 'Lu Mansion' or other names, focusing on northern Cantonese cuisine, to differentiate ourselves from Ning Yan. We will run the business in partnership, and you will be one of the shareholders of this company."

Lu Peide shook his head: "I'm not good at studying. If you ask me to learn how to run a business, I'll be bored to death. I trust you, that's all. I want to ask, can we hire a female cook here?"

"Of course I can! I can't recruit them even if I want to. There are many girls applying to be waitresses. In the kitchen, I haven't recruited any girls with cooking skills. There are only two people willing to be apprentices."

"I have a junior sister. Didn't the country say that women can also hold up half the sky? My second uncle responded to the call and accepted such a female apprentice. But my second uncle has a deep-rooted belief in his heart that only men can be chefs. Moreover, he still has the old idea of ​​passing the craft to men at home, not to mention at work. My junior sister is very serious and hardworking. My second uncle has always let her do plain cooking, and rarely let her touch hot dishes and stir-fry. Only I can teach her when I have time, but she has little practice on the ground. Moreover, when there are big banquets, my second uncle rarely lets her give him a chance. He is always enthusiastic about her finding a partner, and asks my mother and my aunt to find a partner for her. When I left, she told me that she wanted to leave too."

"Call him over!"

"Yeah." Lu Peide lowered his head to eat, "They put too much ingredients, didn't they?"

"Indian cuisine is characterized by its good use of spices. There are so many varieties of curry that the whole of Southeast Asia has been influenced by them."

"Yes, Shanghai also has curry chicken and curry beef vermicelli soup."

"I have made Hong Kong's curry beef brisket, which is based on braised beef brisket with curry sauce added. The flow of people has brought about the fusion of food. In fact, their curry is also improved. It is authentic Indian curry with a richer taste."

When they were almost done eating, the owner of the restaurant came over and spoke fluent Cantonese: "Ms. Yue, Mr. Lu, I am the chef of this restaurant. Can you take a picture with me?"

"Of course." Yue Ning replied.

The proprietress took a camera and took pictures of them.

After dinner, the two said goodbye and went their separate ways. Yue Ning wanted to go to the main road to take a taxi back to Ningyan, while Lu Peide wanted to go to the pier to take a boat. Suddenly, he remembered something.

He only earns five or six hundred yuan this month, and the clothes he wears are all old. He must be very short of money, right?

Yue Ning quickly turned around and chased after him. Lu Peide should not have gone far by now.

Just as she passed the Indian restaurant, she heard someone screaming. She looked towards the intersection and saw two thugs, one holding a stick and the other holding a bench, beating Lu Peide who was holding his head.

Yue Ning ran over. The man holding the stool saw Yue Ning rushing over and shouted, "Let's go. That woman is coming."

The one who beat Lu Peide with a stick: "She's just a little girl, why are you afraid of her..."

He hit Lu Peide with the stick again.

Yue Ning kicked out, and the bastard was kicked in the waist. He screamed and fell to the ground sideways.

Yue Ning went over to support Lu Peide: "Brother Lu, how are you?"

Lu Peide put down his hands. His face was bruised and purple, and there was a long wound on his arm where his clothes were torn.

Yue Ning said to the bystanders on the street: "Please help call the police and an ambulance."

“The police have been called.”

Yue Ning said to Lu Peide: "Brother Lu, bear with it for a while and go to the hospital immediately."

Lu Peide finally calmed down and said, "I'm fine."

Yue Ning's mind was on Lu Peide, but the onlookers saw the gangster rolling around and screaming in pain.

Yue Ning finally reacted and realized how powerful the kick, which was packed with anger, was when it hit a person's waist.

The police car had arrived. When the police officer saw the scene, he immediately arranged for medical treatment. Yue Ning and several bystanders were taken back to the police station to record their statements.

Yue Ning told the truth, gave a recorded statement and signed it.

A ser was on the phone: "Okay, I'll talk to Miss Yue."

When Yue Ning heard the name, he looked at the Sir.

"Ms. Yue, Mr. Lu Peide asked us to tell you that he is fine now. Please don't worry."

"Are you really alright?"

"It's okay, just a superficial wound. The hospital recommends a day of observation and he can be discharged tomorrow. But the one who beat him, your kick was too harsh. His kidney was ruptured. He was also a stowaway, not a qualified person..."

"Ah?" Yue Ning was puzzled.

"Hong Kong has free medical care. First, you have to obtain Hong Kong citizenship. He has no relatives in Hong Kong. After arriving in Hong Kong, he couldn't obtain a citizenship and lived in Kowloon Walled City, so he is not a free person. Moreover, if he commits harm and you stop the crime, he will not get any compensation..."

Yue Ning interrupted him: "Please call the hospital and get him treated. I will pay for the medical expenses."

Sir was stunned for a moment: "You are preventing crime, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"I kicked him. If he was disabled or died, I would always feel uneasy. If he is cured, it is up to the law to decide how to deal with him." Yue Ning said, "It's troublesome."

"OK." Sir made a phone call.

When Yue Ning left the police station, Yue Baohua was already waiting outside, along with a bunch of reporters.

When asked, Yue Ning could only push the reporter away: "I don't know what the situation is. I have to wait for the results of the police investigation."

"I heard that you kicked someone so hard that he couldn't get up?"

"Well, Sir told me that the man had a ruptured kidney and needed surgery. But he was a stowaway and didn't qualify for free..." Yue Ning explained that she would pay for the man's medical expenses, "I hope that all people in Hong Kong can abide by the laws of Hong Kong."

Yue Ning was communicating with the reporter in a friendly manner, but saw that the Sir brought back Guo Shijie, the owner of Junhao Hotel.

Yue Ning pushed the reporter aside and looked at Guo Shijie: "Guo Shijie, what are you doing here?"

"Ms. Yue, Mr. Guo is here to cooperate with the investigation." said the police officer.

"After he gives his confession, will he come out immediately?" Yue Ning asked.

"Yes." said Sir.

Yue Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at Guo Shijie, watching him go in, then turned to look at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, please go to the hospital to pay the medical expenses first, and then help me check on Brother Lu's condition."

"Don't you want to go together?" Yue Baohua always felt that his granddaughter looked at Guo Shijie with an unfriendly eye.

"I'm waiting here for Boss Guo. I want to have a good chat with him." Yue Ning said.

Yue Baohua knew that his granddaughter had her own way of doing things and knew when to do things. He nodded and said, "Will you come to the hospital later?"

"Well, I'll come over after I finish it here."

Yue Ning refused to leave, and the reporters also refused to leave. Yue Ning and the reporters stared at the door of the police station together.

"Ms. Yue, do you suspect that it was Guo Shijie who hired someone to beat up Mr. Lu Peide?"

"Miss Yue, Guo Shijie's beating of Lu Peide is related to Ning Yan?"

"Ms. Yue..."

Yue Ning didn't say a word, just stared at the door of the police station. After waiting for about an hour, Guo Shijie finally came out of the police station.

He was surprised when he stepped out of the door and saw Yue Ning.

Before he could finish being shocked, Yue Ning had already arrived in front of him and slapped him in the face with a "pa".

Before he could react, Yue Ning started to curse: "Guo Shijie, you bastard! You fell in love with Lu Peide, but Lu Peide rejected your invitation because he had a bad impression of your Yulongxuan and he had to finish the competition. You held a grudge against him, and you paid to bribe his assistant, so that when he participated in the competition today, he didn't even have anyone to help him translate. It's fine if you played such a shady trick, but you actually dared to hire someone to beat Lu Peide and intimidate him?"

Guo Shijie came to his senses and realized that he asked someone to beat Lu Peide just to teach him a lesson, to make him understand the rules, and then let Lu Peide's friend persuade him.

Not to mention this kind of beating, even street fights are common in Hong Kong. They would find two thugs from Kowloon Walled City, beat them up and then run away.

If the police have to deal with even such small matters, can they handle it?

Who could have thought that Lu Peide would actually have dinner with Yue Ning, and no one would have thought that Yue Ning would come back. What was most unexpected was that she kicked the man so hard that he couldn't get up and was caught by the police.

As soon as Yue Ning was involved, the police treated the matter as a major event and insisted on getting to the bottom of it and giving an explanation to the public.

He has already given his statement in there, and there are witnesses, so he can't deny it. This is the fact.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yue Ning grabbed him by the collar and said, "If you touch Lu Peide, you're touching me. Do you understand?"

Who in Hong Kong and Macau dares to touch Yue Ning, who is protected by the Qiao and Cai families?

What's more, this little girl is very good at networking. In just a few months, she managed to turn Ningyan into another gathering and social place for the wealthy people in Hong Kong, besides the Jockey Club and Country Club.

Guo Shijie kept silent. Yue Ning tightened his collar and said sternly, "Answer me!"

Yue Ning's face was ferocious, and his eyes, which usually smiled, were fierce and looked like he wanted to kill someone. Guo Shijie was terrified when he met his eyes: "I know."

Yue Ning let go of his hand: "Get lost!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

How big of a news is this? Reporters ran as fast as they could to report the news.
