Chapter 21 Chapter 21
Old Li's wrinkled face was all smiling, like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"I'm not greedy. I just want a stable job. Look at what positions are open at the Baolai Hotel. I can do them all!"
Old Li got this connection for work.
When he heard yesterday that Wang Yongwang wanted to accept a disciple, this trick came to his mind.
Although it is a bit insidious, the benefits it can bring are huge.
The man stared at him for a moment. "Besides making pancakes, what else can you do in the kitchen?"
"I can cook and chop vegetables!"
"Then you'll be a butcher. Report to the kitchen tomorrow and come see me directly."
Old Li was so happy that he almost lost his sight and quickly agreed.
"Don't worry, I have several years of experience in cutting piles, and I can definitely do the job properly. When you become the head chef, I will be the one to cut the piles for you."
This future prospect made Wang Hao extremely comfortable.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's first make Wang Yongwang's reputation worse before we can talk about future matters."
He is the sous chef of Baolai Restaurant.
In name, he is the highest leader in the kitchen except for Wang Yongwang.
But in reality, few of these people respected him as a leader, and there was Wang Yongwang above him.
As long as Wang Yongwang doesn't retire, he will never make any further progress.
Only then did Wang Hao start to have evil thoughts.
As long as Wang Yongwang is removed, the position of head chef will be his, right?
It’s a pity that Wang Yongwang is such a decent person.
He is serious and responsible at work. The most hateful thing is that he has a happy family and there is almost nothing unsatisfactory in his life.
It is really difficult to grasp the weakness of such a person.
That's why Wang Hao was so happy when Lao Li found him and provided him with such a good rumor.
This rumor was not groundless; Wang Yongwang really intended to accept that female apprentice.
Therefore, it spread very smoothly.
Wang Hao didn't expect that this news would reach the boss's ears, and he even pulled Wang Yongwang to a corner to teach him a lesson.
He heard it all just now.
The boss told him to go home and have a good rest during the holiday. If something like this happens again, Wang Yongwang’s position as head chef might be in jeopardy.
Wang Hao returned to the kitchen happily and greeted the boss lady when passing by the front desk.
"Aren't we still short of cutting piles? I found one today and asked him to come to work tomorrow and try it out."
There are people coming and going in the kitchen, and jobs like cutting piles are often done by different people. As long as the head chef doesn't resign, the boss lady basically won't care.
"Okay, you can take a look tomorrow. If it's suitable, you can stay."
The restaurant is busiest at noon and in the evening.
Wang Yongwang thought it would be inappropriate for him to always leave at noon, so he took advantage of the free time in the morning and went to the gate of Bei'an University.
He arrived a little too early and waited for more than ten minutes before he saw He Tingting.
He Tingting was riding her bicycle, thinking about going to Baolai Restaurant when she had time in the afternoon, when she saw Wang Yongwang at the door.
"Uncle Wang? Are you here to see me?"
Wang Yongwang has never done such a thing as going back on his word.
When asked by He Tingting, he scratched his palms awkwardly.
"Yes, I came to talk to you about what we talked about last night. Can we find a quiet place to talk?"
"good."
There are people coming and going outside the school gate, but there are also corners.
Wang Yongwang deliberately walked away and thought for a long time before opening his mouth.
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiao He, I might have to go back on my word last night about accepting you as my disciple."
He's been through everything at his age.
When I really have to say such things, I feel so ashamed that my face turns red.
"After I said that last night, some bad rumors started circulating. Boss Qin was worried that if you entered the restaurant, the rumors would get worse, so he came to talk to me."
He Tingting could guess what the rumor was without him saying anything.
There are only a few kinds of rumors that can be fabricated these days.
Wang Yongwang is a good man. He Tingting didn't want him to be so embarrassed about this matter, and she didn't want to go to Baolai Hotel in the first place.
Before Wang Yongwang could apologize, she quickly interrupted.
"Uncle Wang, I was just about to talk to you about this. Isn't this a coincidence?"
He Tingting smiled and smoothed over the words.
"At my age, I'll probably have to work as an apprentice for several years in a restaurant. My sister needs money for school, so I can earn more by setting up a stall. I'm afraid I'm going to let your kindness down. I was just about to apologize to you."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yongwang felt even more uncomfortable.
At the same time, he also strengthened his determination to compensate He Tingting.
"As for work, even if we don't have the fate of being a master and apprentice, if you want to make money, I have a way."
Even though there was no one around, he lowered his voice a bit and spoke.
"Several professors from the school often call to order food. I'll talk to them and let them taste your cooking. If you put more effort into it, you can keep the orders and earn more every month."
This is to lead the way for He Tingting.
She understood clearly, "Thank you, Uncle Wang. Don't worry, I will definitely do my best."
Seeing that she understood, Wang Yongwang nodded with satisfaction.
I feel a little regretful.
What a good girl! She is talented and smart, and she understands things quickly. Unlike those stupid people he has recruited, who need to be broken down and explained clearly before they understand, and who always cause trouble from time to time.
Maybe, just as he said, the two of them were not destined to be master and disciple.
*
The competition at the school gate attracted much attention before it was held and was a real hot topic among students.
The results of the work are naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.
The news of Wang Qi's cheating spread faster than he expected.
For the whole morning, passers-by looked at him with contempt, and several hours passed without him even opening his shop.
On the other hand, He Tingting's business is not only booming, but she also receives congratulations from time to time.
The sound was very loud, like slaps in the face one after another.
It just so happened that his stall was right next to He Tingting's, so he couldn't hear it even if he wanted to. No matter how uncomfortable it was, he had to stand next to her.
At this point, Wang Qi finally felt regretful.
He began to feel a little scared. Would business in the future be as difficult as it is today?
Wang Qi was feeling upset, but when he saw Li Ya passing by with a happy face, he became furious.
"You're such a grown man, yet you're still laughing like a fool."
Last night, Lao Li finally saw through Wang Qi. The two of them had fallen out and were no longer even brothers on the surface.
Hearing Wang Qi's sour words, Lao Li felt only refreshed.
"Some people are quite smart and have been able to do business since childhood, unlike stupid people like me who don't know how to do business. But it doesn't matter. I will go to work at the Baolai Restaurant tomorrow. Although the income is not much, it is still stable."
After saying this deliberately, he did not forget to look at Wang Qi and say something else.
"I really envy you, Wang Qi, for being able to guard your own little piece of land from morning till night. Starting tomorrow, I won't be able to do that anymore."
This is not a problem, it is obviously not needed. I am just showing off to him.
Wang Qi was so angry that her gums hurt, and she stared at his back as he left.
It took him a long time to react.
How could Mr. Li, who is so old and has no connections, get into Baolai Restaurant?
There's definitely something going on here!
He Tingting was right next to them, so she naturally heard the conversation between the two.
She didn't immediately connect Lao Li's work at Baolai Hotel with herself, but she also remembered it.
There were many familiar faces among the people queuing.
Soon, her attention shifted to the students.
"Sister, you have to give me more food today. We have an exam this afternoon, and my brain will work faster if I eat and drink enough."
Xiaopang and He Tingting are already familiar with each other.
Hearing him say this, He Tingting happily gave him an extra shovel of rice.
"Eat more. I wish you a good grade on the test this afternoon."
Xiaopang came with a big bowl of rice, responded happily, and turned away.
But in fact, he had not had time to review and was going to go back to cram and memorize words for several hours.
The CET-4 exam was only introduced four years ago, and Xiaopang didn’t know what the point of passing it was, but he had registered anyway and couldn’t leave a paper blank.
While eating at noon, he opened his vocabulary book and mumbled to himself while reciting it.
There are several good students in the dormitory.
Led by the dormitory head, we have already memorized all the words in the vocabulary book.
Seeing that Xiaopang had only just finished reciting this, the dormitory head tapped him on the head.
"I told you to memorize it early. Can you still remember it after memorizing it for a while?"
Xiaopang said stubbornly: "I can remember it. My temporary memory is really good."
In fact, he knew that he was a hard-working student. Even if he recited something over and over again, the effect was almost the same as if others recited it once.
I guess I can only rely on my previous knowledge for this CET-4 exam.
He could only hope that the teacher would be kind enough to check the test papers and that the words on the test papers would be those he could remember.
Xiaopang thought this in his mind, but he did not neglect what he was supposed to do. Regardless of whether he could remember it or not, he tried hard to memorize the words.
In two hours at noon, he managed to memorize more than ten pages of words.
The vocabulary book never left his hand until he entered the examination room.
The moment he closed it, even Xiaopang himself was mumbling.
"Damn it! It would be great if I could remember all of this."
Until entering the examination room, Xiaopang kept recalling those words.
He was in exceptionally good condition today, and his mind wasn't at all foggy.
The moment he opened the paper, he felt as if he were divinely inspired.
In the past, an exam took a very long time for Xiaopang, but today was different. His reading and writing were particularly smooth.
It was as if my Ren and Du meridians were opened, and I finished the questions very quickly.
Jia Hui is in the examination room next door.
When he came out of the examination room and saw the energetic little fat boy, he was puzzled and came over to ask for the answer.
"There were too many uncommon words on today's test. What did you choose for the second-to-last question?"
Jia Hui's English score is slightly better than Xiaopang's.
He thought that Xiaopang must find this exam more difficult.
Unexpectedly, this guy looked confused. "Was today's test difficult? I feel like I know all those words."
Jia Hui didn't believe it at first and thought Xiaopang was joking.
He reached out and bumped into Xiaopang's chest.
"Come on, don't I know you? You haven't memorized as many words as I have. Let's compare the answers. What did you choose?"
Xiaopang scratched his head and said, "CABA."
This answer is completely inconsistent with Jia Hui's.
"How come? It should be AbAD, right?"
Jia Hui's English has always been better than his. After he gave the answer, Xiaopang became even less confident.
"No way? Could it be that I didn't answer any of the questions correctly?"
At this time, Sun Dongfang, who was in a nearby examination room, saw them, walked over and ticked one with his hand.
"What are you mumbling about here?"
The roommate had the best grades, so Jia Hui immediately asked for his answer.
"Let me think about it, it seems to be CABA."
Xiaopang and Jia Hui on the side looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.
But the mood is completely different.
Xiaopang was ecstatic.
No way, he is totally right!!!
Jia Hui looked gloomy.
No way, I didn’t get any of the questions right?
