Chapter 148 Have you learned it? If you have, go fight the boss

The next day, at work.

Lin Cao returned to the company with a short and fat young man and a tall and thin young man who looked confused.

Needless to say, the short and fat young man is Yu Hong, who was personally selected by Yang Ruoqian, and is also the hope of the entire Kuiguang Company's first quarter financial report.

The tall and thin guy who has not recovered from his shock is different. His name is Zhu Tingwan, a cook who wants to be an actor. But now he has been abducted to a company for unknown reasons and is said to be a chef for others...

At first, he didn't agree.

When Kui Guang called him, Zhu Tingwan thought he had been accepted and was very excited. However, the person on the other end told him that he had not been selected, but was willing to give him a chance to work at Kui Guang.

What job?

Become a mentor to new chefs and also be the head chef of their staff cafeteria.

Zhu Tingwan was furious when he heard it.

What the hell? Being a chef for a new chef? Asking a chef like me to cook in the staff cafeteria?

Are the people at this company called Kuiguang collectively out of their minds? This is not the way to insult people.

From now on, he will be the biggest black spot in this Kui Guang Company.

Just when Zhu Tingwan was about to curse and hang up the phone, Kui Guang actually said that he could set any salary he wanted.

In a fit of anger, Zhu Tingwan directly asked for a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, otherwise there would be no deal.

Then they agreed.

Zhu Tingwan, who was originally full of righteousness, was stunned for a moment - and quickly added that high-quality ingredients must be processed every day and high-quality dishes must be cooked every day.

Otherwise, Zhu Tingwan’s cooking skills would only deteriorate if he had to cook big pot dishes in the cafeteria every day.

The other party agreed without even thinking about it.

So, he, a cook who was doing his job well, was brought to Kuiguang Company, and he is still a fool now.

Now he is an honorable and loyal Kuiguang employee.

…

Of course, the operations team in the office area felt a little strange watching these two people - they could understand why President Yang did not choose the first-ranked candidate, but chose Zhu Tingwan, who was ranked second.

After all, a person with an indecent private life means that he lacks self-control and can easily be discredited or even break the law, which is too risky.

Currently, there is no negative news about all the artists of Kuiguang Group, so it is normal that Mr. Yang is unwilling to recruit them.

But why did Yu Hong, who was ranked last, also come? Did Mr. Yang have any special arrangements for him? Before the operation team members could figure out what was going on, they saw Lin Cao bringing Yu Hong over and introducing him to Weng Ziqin: "Let me introduce Yu Hong to everyone. He is also our next key artist to be trained!"

Although Lin Cao's voice was not loud, it exploded among the operations team like a thunder.

Weng Ziqin and Song Danlei were stunned for a moment.

What the hell?! Yu Hong is the next artist to be trained, so what does Zhu Tingwan do?

Could it be that because of his good cooking skills, they invited him to work as a chef in the company cafeteria to cook for other employees? "Lin Cao, are you sure this is what Mr. Yang meant?" Song Danlei was a new employee after all, and at this time she still had a last bit of unrealistic fantasy in her heart, "Did Mr. Yang make a mistake?"

Lin Cao shook his head and said with certainty: "Boss Yang is not wrong, and I hope he can participate in the 'Chef God Competition' to be held at the end of this month as soon as possible."

Song Danlei didn't know what to say for a moment - she felt that all the experience she had gained from working in the entertainment industry for so many years in large companies had been crushed to pieces.

Song Danlei has a mature theory and system on how to select trainees, how to train an idol quickly and at low cost, and how to quickly monetize the IP.

As long as you follow her advice, even if you don't create a phenomenal traffic star, at least you will have no problem making money steadily.

Otherwise, the old company would not have been so sincere in trying to retain her.

But now, Song Danlei had just worked in Kuiguang for a month, and the first project she handled encountered problems in the first step.

In the past, the leaders Song Danlei met were either cautious and would choose one or two of her suggestions with less risk as the ones to focus on for training; or they were generous and inhumane and would sign all the candidates with the potential to succeed. As long as one of them succeeded, the company would make a fortune.

Song Danlei was too lazy to even pay attention to that kind of leader who was stubborn, only believed in his own opinions, and was unwilling to listen to other people's opinions.

Until today, Song Danlei finally met the fourth type of leader, Yang Ruoqian.

It is absolutely not true to say that he is self-willed - starting from the scouting step, Mr. Yang handed the matter over to his subordinates. After the list came out, it was also handed over to the operations team to sort.

There was not much intervention during this period.

In other words, Mr. Yang actually believes in the abilities of his employees.

But why did Mr. Yang choose the last person after his employees worked so hard to come up with a list? Isn't it contradictory that he believed in his employees' abilities but rejected their suggestions?

Song Danlei looked at the reactions of her colleagues around her, but unexpectedly found that although everyone was surprised, almost no one expressed dissatisfaction with Mr. Yang's decision.

That's not right.

Logically speaking, shouldn't employees be angry if their work results are rejected by their superiors? After all, no one's time comes from the wind, and if you don't plan to adopt their suggestions from the beginning, why give them the task?

The reaction of these colleagues now is totally illogical!

At this time, Lin Cao had already left with Yu Hong. Song Danlei was extremely confused. She turned to look at her superior Weng Ziqin and asked, "Manager Weng... what do you, uh, Mr. Yang mean?"

Weng Ziqin shook her head firmly: "I don't know."

"have no idea?!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang has his own plans and layouts for everything he does." Seeing the confused look of the new subordinate who jumped from a big company, Weng Ziqin's sense of superiority as a veteran employee once again burst out, "We are just the strategists, but Mr. Yang considers things from the perspective of the entire company. You have to trust Mr. Yang's strategic vision."

Song Danlei was a person who had seen the world after all, and a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on her face: "Strategy?"

She had also vaguely heard of the legend of Kuiguang Company.

Just because most professionals are pessimistic doesn’t mean the market is pessimistic.

Mr. Yang seems to know how to cater to the market very well?

"You are a new employee. You probably haven't read the novel adapted from Mr. Yang that is circulating among our old employees, right?" Weng Ziqin said mysteriously. "This novel tells how Mr. Yang started from scratch, how he operated a macho dance troupe, how he used advertising to expand his influence, and how he twice thwarted the conspiracy of the Yue Mansion through precise planning..."

"We think about whether this artist has commercial value, but Mr. Yang thinks more and further. Otherwise, how could he have grown Kuiguang to its current size in just over half a year?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'll send you the file later, and then you'll know how capable Mr. Yang is."

Song Danlei's blood boiled when she heard this: "Okay!"

"But we have to register Yu Hong for the Master Chef Competition first. The registration is about to close and the auditions are about to begin..."

…

President's Office.

Yang Ruoqian was looking at the computer screen with great interest at this time.

A live broadcast from the staff cafeteria kitchen was being played inside - in order to better understand Yu Hong's cooking skills, Yang Ruoqian specifically asked Zhu Tingwan to turn on the live broadcast when teaching Yu Hong cooking skills.

In the picture, Zhu Tingwan is like a master craftsman, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, chopping the green onions on the chopping board. In just a few seconds, a perfect stack of chopped green onions is ready.

"What dishes can you cook?" Zhu Tingwan, who had shown off his knife skills, put the kitchen knife away and asked.

Yu Hong watched the old master's operation, was slightly amazed, and then said seriously: "He can do a lot!"

Zhu Tingwan felt a little more relaxed - at least he wasn't completely new to the subject.

"The best ones." Zhu Tingwan nodded, "Tell me the names of the dishes and how to make them."

Yu Hong began to list the dishes like a treasure: "Fried eggs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, boiled eggs..."

Eggs…eggs…eggs…

I think you look like an egg! Zhu Tingwan's mentality collapsed - this is basically zero foundation! Yang Ruoqian, who was watching the live broadcast, listened to the names of the dishes announced by Yu Hong and laughed in front of the computer.

The most difficult dish that I can cook is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, right?

What's the difference between this and someone who can only curse Shift and then says he knows English? The chef competition is about to start, and Yu Hong is still just a cloud chef who has only mastered theoretical knowledge! When he learns to cook some basic dishes, he will probably have to appear on variety shows to compete with the big guys.

This is like a math teacher teaching people to do advanced math problems right after they have learned 1+1=2...

That’s great! With this level of cooking skills, even if 20 chefs were asked to work overtime to make up for the shortcomings, Yu Hong’s cooking skills would still be hard to reach the level of master chefs… If he wants to advance, won’t he have to spend more money?

Unlike Boss Yang who enjoyed watching the fun, Zhu Tingwan took a long time to accept this fact.

Forget it, for the sake of the 100,000 yuan monthly salary, I’ll just teach you!

"Stop, stop, stop." Zhu Tingwan interrupted Yu Hong's attempt to name the eggs. "Your skills are not good enough to be on TV variety shows, and you are not even good enough to be a home chef."

"Time is running out, so I'll teach you a few dishes that look fancy but are actually quite simple to make. At least you can get through the audition first."

During the auditions, you only need to prepare a set of your best dishes for the judges to taste within a limited time. If you pass, you’ve passed.

However, once you enter the official competition stage, you have to follow the arrangements of the program team to decide what dishes to cook and you can no longer play freely.

Although Yu Hong is not good at cooking, he is very serious about learning: "Okay, you say..."

"Let me see your knife skills first. Your knife skills will determine how much time you have left to cook." Zhu Tingwan took out a piece of pork that had been frozen for an hour and threw it on the chopping board. "Cut this piece of pork belly into thin slices, come on."

Zhu Tingwan plans to teach Yu Hong how to make a dish of steamed pork belly with rice flour.

This dish does not require very high cooking skills, tastes good, and does not take long to make, so it is enough for the auditions.

However, a few minutes later, Zhu Tingwan fell into deep thought as he looked at Yu Hong's "achievements" on the chopping board.

"Master Zhu, how did I do?" Yu Hong asked nervously.

Zhu Tingwan held it in for a long time before he said in a relatively gentle tone: "Well... your slices are good, but they are too thick."
