Volume 1 Chapter 101 Suspension of business for rectification

"Everyone, did you hear that? This little bastard has evil intentions and has no intention of handing over the recipe of the secret seasoning!" Fang Dehai pointed at Li Tian and shouted with his face flushed with anger.

Li Tian stopped playing coy with them: "Mr. Fang really understands me. Yes, that's right. I really didn't think about handing over the formula. This formula is my personal intellectual property. Why do you want me to hand it over? Is it because everyone here is embarrassed?"

"Li Tian, ​​that's not what you said just now."

The skinny Mr. Ma was so angry that his hands were shaking. Since he had no intention of handing over the formula, then what was the point of him playing the good guy role just now?

"If you agree to my three conditions, I will guarantee a steady supply of seasonings. As for the recipe, forget about it."

Li Tian couldn't take out the recipe. It was the lifeblood of a famous chef. Only by holding it firmly in his own hands could he be safe. "Okay, I should go now. A famous chef is making money every day. I need to take care of everything. I don't have much time to waste here. A Jiao, Zi Meng, let's go!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the conference room.

Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng followed closely.

"Li Tian, ​​I can guarantee that you will regret it when you walk out of this door." Du Minrou said lightly.

Li Tian stopped and turned to look at Du Minrou: "Okay, I'll wait for Madam Chu to make me regret it, but please remember, Madam Chu, I always hold grudges. The Chu family in Binhai can really cover the sky with one hand, but the situation will change. Don't despise the poor young. Madam Chu, when you can no longer talk to me from a high position, you may also regret everything you have done to me now."

Lu Jiao and Li Zimeng were stunned, thinking, this is their boss? He actually challenged the Chu family directly. What courage and boldness does this show?

After Li Tian finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Du Minrou sat in her seat, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails were almost digging into her flesh.

Seeing her unhappy expression, no one said anything and everyone sat upright.

…

On the way back to Mingchu, Li Tian frowned, because he knew that the journey ahead would be extremely difficult, and he might even find it difficult to move forward.

However, we must face it bravely.

He swore that no matter how difficult it was, he would rise up and become a powerful lord who dominated the world, and he would not care about the Chu family or the Chen family.

"The celebrity chef will have a lot of troubles in the future, so be prepared."

"Yes," Li Zimeng nodded.

"If they knew that you had offended the Chu family, many employees might resign out of fear of the Chu family." Lu Jiao said.

Li Tian smiled and said, "It's okay. Those who left will be blacklisted and will never be hired again. If we need people, we will recruit people from other provinces and cities. The influence of the Chen and Chu families is only in Binhai and several surrounding cities. Those who are farther away will not be considered at all. They will only look at whether the salary is high or not."

Lu Jiao nodded: "Yes"

She has signed a ten-year contract, and no matter what, she has to stick with Li Tian to the end.

The next day, someone from the Market Administration came.

With official documents, all branches of famous chefs are certified for hygiene and health.

Although the celebrity chefs' kitchens and sanitary environments are very good, it is still very easy for these people to find faults, such as the kitchen layout is not good, the fume emissions will affect the lives of nearby residents, etc. They can find a lot of problems that are not problems.

Then they can legitimately ask the famous chef to suspend business and rectify the situation, and only after the rectification is completed can they continue to operate.

In response to the store managers' requests, Li Tian said, "Change it according to what they said."

There was no way. It was the Chu family who asked the government to take action, and he could not fight against the government.

Even though it's extremely frustrating and extremely angry, the other party is now too powerful and we can't defeat him, so we have to just bear with it and endure it.

One day, he will make them pay back tenfold or a hundredfold.

When they heard that Li Tian and the Chu family had a falling out, a large number of chefs, waiters, and even the store manager of Mingchu submitted their resignations.

In their view, if they offended the Chu family, the famous chef's ship, which had just set sail, would soon sink, and they did not want to be destroyed along with it.

For a while, business was booming, and the famous chef, who had a huge customer base every day, actually felt a sense of desolation, as if the sun was setting.

Famous chef's flagship store, conference room.

During previous meetings, the huge conference room was full of people, but now, the number of people has been reduced by half.

Li Tian sat in the main seat, closed his eyes, and listened to his employees talk about ways to save themselves.

"Boss, let's go to the restaurant. Only if we get someone from above to come, can we, the famous chef, stand up again."

"It's too troublesome to visit, and it's a level-crossing complaint, which can easily get you into trouble."

"If it really doesn't work, we won't open a restaurant in Binhai anymore. It will be the same if we open a famous chef restaurant in other places."

"Yes, we will go to other cities, expand and strengthen our celebrity chef business, and then return to occupy the coastal catering market."

After listening to them for about ten minutes, Li Tiancai opened his eyes and refuted their methods of self-help one by one.

"Who can we sue during the visit? Should we sue the Market Administration for illegal operations, or should we sue the Chu family for using their power to bully others? The Market Administration asked us to suspend business and rectify the situation. They have documents to rely on and evidence to follow. Will the visit be useful?"

"And what you said about recreating famous chefs in other cities? Will there be no noble families in other cities? If you go to other cities, people will just watch your rise to fame as a famous chef?"

Li Tian's words were like a bolt of enlightenment, making everyone shut up.

"Remember what I said today. If you believe in me, Li Tian, ​​then stay. I will never let you down once you get over this hurdle. If you don't believe in me, Li Tian, ​​then you can leave now. I will never stop you. But if you become a famous chef in the future, those who leave now will never have a chance to come back."

"I am not afraid of rectification. I will rectify whatever they say. I don't believe that if there is nothing that needs to be rectified, will the Market Management Bureau dare to stop us from continuing to operate?"

Li Tian felt aggrieved and angry, and every word he spoke was as loud as a bell.

A store manager frowned and said, "Boss, we have been closed for rectification and have been making losses every day. I am afraid..."

Li Tian raised his hand to interrupt: "I have seen the financial report. If we don't operate, your salary plus the store rent and store management fees will only lose about one million a day. The Market Administration Bureau will at most give us half a month to rectify the situation, and the loss will be only 15 million. I have 80 million, is that enough?"

80 million?

Everyone took a deep breath. They never expected that their boss would have such abundant funds.
