Chapter 425: Who can’t make a big promise?
The moment she finished speaking.
The kitchen was completely silent.
"so……"
She suddenly smiled, her eyes slightly raised, "From now on, you can choose to stay or leave. If you want to follow Cai Jie to the Imperial Kitchen, leave now. I will not stop you."
"I'll reorganize the restaurant."
Su Qian's gaze swept across the kitchen, lingering for a moment on the faces of the shaken chefs.
"As for those who stay, I will thoroughly check all the accounts. If you can accept it, you can stay."
Thoroughly check all accounts?
Many people's expressions changed.
But some people looked normal.
Chef Liu Chang raised his head, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes. He took a step forward, his voice trembling slightly, "Boss Su, I'll stay!"
"I'm staying too!"
"Count me in!"
Cai Jie sneered at this, "What a bunch of idiots! They didn't even know how to seize the opportunity. What's the point of staying here? With the restaurant's current state, do you think a little girl like her can revive it?"
"That's all for you to worry about."
Su Qian glanced at him and said, "How I run my business seems to have nothing to do with you."
"As for wages,"
She paused, a meaningful smile curling up her lips. "For those who stay, the basic salary will be doubled, and quarterly bonuses will be paid based on the restaurant's profitability. But I have only one request—"
Her eyes swept over the mottled plaque "A Century of Craftsmanship" on the wall of the back kitchen, "I must live up to these four words."
“Who can’t paint a big picture?”
Cai Jie said with disdain, "I have the offer letter from the Imperial Kitchen in my hand. I can start work tomorrow!"
He deliberately shook the brown paper bag in his pocket.
"With this new guy, we might not even be able to pay our salaries one day!"
Those who were originally hesitant immediately calmed down.
yes.
They were almost fooled by Su Qian's big promise.
So what if the salary is high?
Whether it can be released is still a question.
Yushan Pavilion is a restaurant that is really packed with customers.
"Now."
Su Qian pulled out a stack of gold-stamped contracts from her handbag. The seal of the Interstellar Catering Group gleamed brightly under the light. "Those who choose to stay, stand to the left within three seconds."
She hadn't finished her words.
"The restaurant has been very kind to me. It gave me an opportunity when I couldn't find a job. As a person, you should never forget your roots!"
Chef Liu Chang has already taken a big step forward.
Following behind him were Wang Juan and several old employees.
The young kitchen helper, Xiao Chen, gritted his teeth and tied his apron tighter, "Me too."
The chefs who were originally wavering have expressed their opinions one after another.
Cai Jie looked at the people around him changing their minds one by one, and his expression became increasingly grim.
"Let's go!"
He snorted coldly, "I want to see how long you can hold out!"
As he said that, Cai Jie turned around and kicked away the king crab at his feet, then left the kitchen cursing with a few people who had followed him wholeheartedly.
"Are you the head chef here?"
After Cai Jie left, Su Qian's eyes fell on Liu Chang.
Liu Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand. The sleeve of his work clothes brushed against his sauce-spattered collar. He straightened his back and replied, "Yes, Mr. Su. From apprentice to head chef, I've worked here for eight years."
Before he could finish his words, the refrigerator suddenly made a sharp buzzing sound, and the door popped open, revealing several packages of synthetic meat rolling out.
Wang Juan's face suddenly changed, and she rushed over to clean up the mess, but Su Qian raised her hand to stop her.
"Don't move."
She squatted down, her fingertips running over the blurred production date on the packaging bag. When she turned to look at Liu Chang, her eyes were sharp, "You know much more than you can tell, right?"
The air in the kitchen froze instantly.
Several chefs who had just chosen to stay subconsciously took a half step back. Only Liu Chang met Su Qian's gaze, his Adam's apple rolling with difficulty: "Cai Jie and the purchasing department have been colluding with suppliers for three years, falsely reporting the difference in purchase prices every month. They..."
He suddenly choked and slammed his knuckles on the operating table.
"I tried to stop the shipment of inferior ingredients last month, but they said 'If you don't want to work, get out'!"
"So you endured it?" Su Qian slowly stood up.
"Boss Su, I..."
Liu Chang's face turned red.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Although he was not the one who committed corruption and sold inferior goods as good ones, he knew about it but did not report it, so he is also responsible.
"I know that in this industry, sometimes there are things that are beyond your control."
Su Qian's tone softened slightly. "However, as a chef, your duty is to provide guests with safe and delicious food. You can't go against your conscience just because you're afraid of losing your job."
Liu Chang lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Su Qian's eyes.
"Boss Su, I was wrong."
His voice was low and hoarse. "I promise I'll never let this happen again."
Su Qian nodded and glanced at the other people in the kitchen.
"I hope you will all remember the lesson of today."
Her voice was firm and powerful. "From now on, this restaurant will undergo new changes. All ingredients entering and leaving the kitchen will be strictly controlled. Anyone who dares to have any improper thoughts will be handcuffed by the police!"
"I will not allow anyone to do anything that damages the reputation of this restaurant again. If any of you are unwilling to abide by my rules, you can leave now."
The kitchen was silent and no one spoke.
After a while.
One of the chefs mustered up the courage to say, "Boss Su, we are all willing to stay and help you build the restaurant."
"Yes, President Su, we must do a good job!"
Others echoed.
"very good."
Su Qian nodded with satisfaction.
"Now--"
She pulled out the contract and pointed the pen at Liu Chang. "Do you still want to stay in the chef's position?"
Liu Chang suddenly raised his head, a hint of surprise and excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you, President Su!"
His voice trembled slightly, and he looked directly into Su Qian's eyes with a serious expression, "I swear, I will never let you down again. I will keep the restaurant's kitchen in perfect order!"
Su Qian looked at Liu Chang quietly, without showing much expression on her face.
After a while.
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"good."
She handed the contract to Liu Chang and said, "I hope you won't let me down."
"As for Manager Zhao——"
Su Qian changed the subject.
"Su... Mr. Su." Manager Zhao trembled all over and was extremely nervous.
"I can let go of your kickbacks and give you a chance."
Su Qian slowly glanced at Manager Zhao's pale face, "The prerequisite is that all the details of Cai Jie's dealings with the suppliers who took kickbacks must be fully disclosed."
Is it so cheap for Cai Jie?
It doesn't exist!
Gather the evidence and prosecute directly, impose fines where necessary and detention where necessary.
As for why Manager Zhao Su Qian gave him a chance, it was because the restaurant needed a manager.
Of course, Su Qian couldn't do everything by herself.
"Thank you, President Su. Thank you, President Su."
Manager Zhao nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, within three days, I will compile all the account details, transfer records, and the agreement they signed privately!"
