Chapter 346: The boss scolded me and I didn't talk back

Two days later.

Su He was on vacation, and after saying hello to his family, the two of them headed south to Haishi. When they arrived in Haishi, they first handed Jinyi over to her brother Lu Jincheng.

Su He took Gu Jianhua to see the several yards and shops she had bought.

"These shops will start to be renovated in March next year and will open during the summer vacation."

Because Su He has work and can't spare time except during the winter and summer vacations, and Gu Jianhua takes care of the children every day and can't spare time either, so it can only be done during the winter and summer vacations.

After all, opening a business involves issues such as purchasing, and opening eleven stores at once would take time to complete.

Gu Jianhua: "That's fine."

"Wife, do you think we should hire an auntie when we move into the villa next year?"

"Why not bring your parents over to live with you? They are older.

It would be more convenient to look after him if we live together, right?"

Su He said, "Okay, our villa is quite big, so we can let my parents live on the first floor, and our family can live on the second floor."

The total area of ​​their villa is 1,500 square meters, with a front yard of about 400 square meters and a back yard of about 300 square meters.

The first and second floors are about 300 square meters each, and the third floor is about 200 square meters.

On the first floor, there is a living room, kitchen, dining room, public bathroom, and a few bedrooms, four bedrooms in total.

On the second floor, there are five bedrooms, one for the couple, one for each of the four children, plus a dressing room and a study.

There are five guest rooms, a study and a storage room on the third floor.

It was arranged just right.

Su He took Gu Jianhua to see the shops in Hai City, made some plans, and then had a meal with Xu's father, Xu's mother, Master Huang, and Lei Nuo.

I bought a train ticket and set off for Sichuan Province.

"We don't even know anyone in Sichuan Province. We are like looking for a needle in a haystack to find a chef!"

Su He chatted with Gu Jianhua on the train.

Gu Jianhua, "What are you afraid of? Let's ask people when we get there."

Su He: "This is the only way."

Arrived in the capital of Sichuan Province two days later.

After getting out of the train station, I first found a place to stay, had a meal and rested, and then went to find a chef.

The Sichuan cuisine is delicious. Gu Jianhua said, "This is much better than the Sichuan cuisine I make."

Su He smiled, "Of course, we are outsiders. Sichuan cuisine is of course more authentic and delicious when it is made by chefs from Sichuan province."

The restaurant they ate at was a small street restaurant. The owner and the chef were the same person. The owner looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, quite young.

When Gu Jianhua was settling the bill after dinner, he handed the boss a cigarette and said, "Boss, I want to ask you something."

The boss knew without asking that the couple were from other places, so he said, "You tell me."

Gu Jianhua wanted to tell his boss about finding a Sichuan chef. He said, "Boss, do you know anyone? If you can, please introduce one to me. I will definitely thank you."

The boss waved his hands and said, "You said your family is from Beijing and you want to open a restaurant and need a Sichuan chef. Does that mean the chef has to follow you to Beijing?"

Gu Jianhua: "Yes."

The boss thought for a moment and said, "I do have a chef I know."

His good brother, they learned to be chefs together. After graduation, he and his wife opened a small restaurant, while his brother went to work as a chef in a big hotel.

I had a big argument with the hotel chef half a month ago. His brother was just a small chef, and the hotel owner knew how to make choices, so he fired his brother.

Gu Jianhua quickly said, "As long as your cooking skills are good, the salary and benefits can be discussed."

The boss said, "Okay, I'll call him over to ask you later, but I can't guarantee that he will go with you. After all, you are going to another place, and he has a wife and children here!"

Su He smiled and said, "Bring your wife and children with you. We will provide accommodation for you."

The boss nodded and said, "Let me ask you about this."

"Excuse me."

The general break time for restaurants is from two to four o'clock. It is now one o'clock, and Su He and Gu Jianhua are waiting in the store. When there are no customers in the store, the boss goes out to call his brothers.

Su He and Gu Jianhua were chatting with the boss's wife.

The lady boss asked with a smile, "You came all the way from Beijing to Sichuan just to find a Sichuan chef?"

"Yes, there are no Sichuan chefs in Beijing, so we can only look for one in Sichuan Province," said Su He.

"Does your restaurant specialize in Sichuan cuisine or do you have other dishes?"

"We have other dishes, a comprehensive wine shop."

While I was chatting with the boss's wife, the boss came over with his friend.

His friend is Zhong Xiangchao, 26 years old. He is also young and hot-tempered. He dared to have a big fight with the chef and was fired as a result.

"Hello, hello."

After the two sides got to know each other, Zhong Xiangchao asked, "Boss, how much salary do you plan to pay per month?"

Gu Jianhua, "1,200 per month. If you want to go to Beijing with me, Master Zhong, I will provide you with accommodation."

A monthly salary of twelve thousand yuan could be considered a lot, or even the highest salary. Zhong Xiangchao was thinking that his previous salary as a chef in a restaurant might not even be twelve thousand yuan.

He also heard from his friend that the hotel that the boss was going to open was also a big restaurant, and he would definitely not be the head chef if he went there, because even if he was not the head chef, he would be paid such a high salary.

To be honest, Zhong Xiangchao was tempted, but after all, he had to leave his hometown and go somewhere else. He couldn't make up his mind for the time being, so he had to go back and discuss it with his wife.

He said, "Boss, let me cook two dishes for you first, and you can taste them."

Gu Jianhua: "Okay."

Zhong Xiangchao cooked two classic dishes: stir-fried kidney and twice-cooked pork.

The food tasted very good. In fact, the fact that he could be a chef in a big hotel was a testament to his ability.

"Boss, are you in a hurry to leave? I need to go back and discuss this with my wife."

Gu Jianhua, "Don't worry, we'll wait for your news."

Zhong Xiangchao told his wife Sun Qi about this after returning home.

Sun Qi has been very worried these days because her husband was fired and she has no job. They have been married for less than two years and their child was born only a few months ago. She cannot go out to work, and her husband has lost his job too. How will the whole family live?

Now I heard from Zhong Xiangchao that being a chef in Beijing pays 1,200 yuan a month, so why are you hesitating? Let's go.

"The boss is offering us accommodation, so why should we hesitate? Just agree to it."

"We can live in our own house in Beijing. It's better to live here than to be crowded with a bunch of people, right?"

Her parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, a family of three, and her husband's brother and sister-in-law, a family of three, were all crowded in one room, making it inconvenient to do anything.

Fortunately, everyone went out to work during the day, otherwise it would be even more chaotic and inconvenient.

She originally thought they could save some money and move out, but she found out her husband was fired.

Zhong Xiangchao, "That's right, then when will we leave? It's almost the New Year."

Sun Qi, "The New Year is almost here, there are still two months to go. If possible, let's go now. Didn't you say that the boss has other stores? Before the restaurant opens, you can work in other stores, and when the restaurant opens, you can be a chef."

Sun Qi didn't want to stay in this family for even a minute longer. There were so many people and so many conflicts. Today he was either fighting with his sister-in-law or his mother-in-law, and the day after tomorrow he would be fighting with his sister-in-law.

There is a lot of friction.

"Okay, let me talk to my future boss first."

Sun Qi, "Go ahead, go ahead. We can't be impulsive this time. We have to work hard."

Zhong Xiangchao, "My wife pays me 1,200 yuan a month. Even if the chef scolds me to death, I won't say anything back."

If you pay a lot, everything will be easy to talk about.

Sun Qi, "Let's not tell our family that we're giving 1,200 yuan, just say we're giving 120 yuan."

Zhong Xiangchao: "Yeah, I see."

His parents have more than one son, he also has other brothers and sisters, and if his salary is too high, they won’t be able to save the money.

the next day.

Zhong Xiangchao told Su He and Gu Jianhua about his decision, "Boss Gu, we both want to leave now."

“I can help out at other stores first.”

Gu Jianhua: "Okay."

Zhong Xiangchao, "Then is there a house for us to live in?"

Su He, "Yes, Master Zhong, don't worry, we have several extra houses."

She had rented three staff dormitories before, and the other one was still vacant.

Let them stay in that room first.

Zhong Xiangchao, "Boss, can you wait for us for a few days? We can pack our luggage and stuff."

Su He and Gu Jianhua said, "Of course."

They thought it would take a long time to find a chef, but they found one so quickly, which is also a happy thing.

Su He called home and asked Wei Lan to find a few people to clean up the house so that Master Zhong and his family could move in immediately.

When the Zhong family heard Zhong Xiangchao say that he was going to Beijing to be a chef, they asked briefly and didn't say much.

It would be fine for the second son's family to go there, since the boss provides accommodation and the salary is good enough to support the whole family.

And when the second brother's family moves in, there will be an empty room in the house.

The Zhong family said a few symbolic words to Zhong Xiangchao and Sun Qi, for example, asking them to call or write home if anything happened.

Nothing else was said.

Zhong Xiangchao and Sun Qi didn't have much luggage, just a little savings, some clothes for the three of them, and bedding, nothing else.

The cabinets and beds couldn't be moved.

Sun Qi and Zhong Xiangchao are the six-month-old daughter of their husband. It is a bit inconvenient to bring the baby on the train, but there is nothing they can do. The family will just go along and be fine once they reach Beijing.

Two days later, the group arrived in Beijing.

Let Xue Mu pick them up at the station.

When Zhong Xiangchao and Sun Qi saw that their boss actually had a car, they exclaimed that he was indeed a rich man and no wonder he could pay him twelve thousand yuan a month.

The family of three experienced the feeling of riding in a sedan.

Su He asked, "Master Zhong, should we go to the guesthouse to rest first, or go directly to the house?"

Zhong Xiangchao looked at his wife, and Sun Qi said, "Sister Su, we can just go to that house directly. We are not tired."

"Okay, Xue Mu will go to the staff dormitory."

Xue Mu: "Okay, Aunt Su."

Chatting with Zhong Xiangchao and Sun Qi on Soho Road, "There are furniture and other things in that room. We can just go to the department store and buy some daily necessities later."

"After you told us that day, I asked them to clean the house, and it was very clean."

Zhong Xiangchao and Sun Qi smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."

Su He waved his hands, "It's okay, it's as it should be. You and your family have come thousands of miles to come here, we should settle you down."

The couple loved to hear this. Zhong Xiangchao felt that the big boss was worthy of being the big boss and that he knew how to talk, which was much better than his previous boss.

Arriving at the staff dormitory, the couple put down their luggage and rested for a while. Sun Qi stayed at home to look after his daughter, while Zhong Xiangchao followed Su He and Gu Jianhua to the department store to buy things.

Su He said, "Whatever Xiang Chao's family needs, just buy it and we will pay for it."

Zhong Xiangchao was a little embarrassed, "Sister, we can just buy it ourselves."

Gu Jianhua, "It's okay, it's okay, buy it, it's my duty, keep your savings first."

Zhong Xiangchao was thinking that just for this, he would endure it even if his boss scolded him in the future.

A few of them walked around the department store. Since the boss was paying, Zhong Xiangchao felt embarrassed to take other people's money, so he just bought pots, bowls, pans, and other things.

Su He bought thick blankets for the family of three and said with a smile, "Beijing is different from Sichuan. It's very cold in winter. The blankets you brought are too thin. It's cold to cover yourself with them at night."

After buying bedding, pots, pans, bowls, and other daily necessities, they went to the market to buy rice, flour, meat, vegetables, oil, gas, etc.

In short, most of the things used at home were bought.

Su He also bought clothes, shoes and milk powder for their baby, and a set of cosmetics for Sun Qi.

The couple felt that they had met a god-like boss.

In the evening, after the couple had sorted out their things, Sun Qi muttered to Zhong Xiangchao, "Boss, let's just do this. If the boss gets upset one day and scolds you, you have to bear it."

Zhong Xiangchao, "You don't have to tell me, wife. I think so too. But the boss and his wife seem to be very gentle people. They don't seem like the kind of people who would scold their employees casually."

"I heard from our driver today that the boss and his wife regularly select employees to learn things."

"That's the driver. He's been working for the boss and his wife for five years."

"Last year, the boss paid for him and another employee to learn how to drive and pass the driving test. Now, in addition to being the boss's driver, he is also the coffee shop manager."

Sun Qi listened, "The boss pays for driving lessons? That must be a lot of money, right?"

Zhong Xiangchao, "Of course, not only do they learn to drive, but they also pay for their employees to go to Haishi to learn how to bake cakes and coffee, and also learn how to be a chef."

"I think our boss and his wife are pretty nice people. Working with them should pay you well in all aspects."

Sun Qi, "Needless to say, just look at what we bought for you today, it's very comprehensive."

"Sister Su also gave me a set of cosmetics, which don't look cheap."

"Did they ask you to tell them which store you were going to work in before the hotel opened?"

Zhong Xiangchao shook his head, "No, the boss and his wife said they were tired from traveling these past two days, so they asked us to have a good rest for two days before talking about work."

"That's fine, let's tidy up the house."

Zhong Xiangchao, Sun Qi and their family of three have settled down in Beijing. After resting for two days, Gu Jianhua asked him to help out at the halal restaurant.

Of course, the halogen shop is not busy because Chef Zhang is there. Besides making halogen products for the halogen shop, the two of them are also preparing three meals a day for Gu Jianhua's family in Su He.

Quite easy.

Zhong Xiangchao learned cooking after the country’s reform and opening up. He studied with his master for five or six years, and then worked in the hotel for about a year.

But compared with Master Zhang, he is a junior. Master Zhang is the head chef of a state-owned hotel and has been a chef for 30 years, so he is very experienced.

There was a reason why Zhong Xiangchao had quarreled with the previous chef. He is not the kind of person who does things without thinking.

If the other person speaks to him nicely, he will also speak nicely. If the other person greets his eight generations of ancestors, he will not be polite either.

Moreover, he usually treats his seniors with respect and learning.

For example, his attitude towards Master Zhang.

After all, he has more than 20 years of experience in the industry and is a senior.
