After breakfast, Sun Aimin found an acquaintance in the village to help him take him to the bus station in the county town. He took a bus to the city, then took a taxi to the hotel, and went directly to the boss's office with the seasoning powder.
He had no grudges with his boss. Apart from being fired by his boss, it could be said that their cooperation was quite pleasant.
When that incident happened, he couldn't balance work and family, so he could understand the decision made by his boss.
After all, they have to open their business. No matter how much affection there is, they cannot disrupt the work order because of him alone.
If he were in the boss's position, he might make the same decision.
He had called the hotel owner in advance, and the other party happened to want to see him about something, so they agreed to meet in the office.
Compared to the immaturity and haggardness of a year ago, Sun Aimin has gone through a year of tempering, and has become more confident and confident. He has completely shed the image of a working man and has become a young, promising and successful person.
The hotel's staff structure hadn't changed much, and he knew almost everyone, but some staff members were hesitant to acknowledge him. This was mainly because "Chef Sun" had changed so much.
Even if Sun Aimin walked in carrying a large sack weighing dozens of kilograms, it could not completely conceal the unique charm that emanated from him from the inside out.
The hotel receptionist was too busy looking at the handsome man carrying the sack. It wasn't until Sun Aimin greeted them with a smile that they recognized him. "Chef Sun? It's been so long, you've changed so much. What's going on?"
The front desk staff glanced at the big sack on Sun Aimin's shoulder, and was surprised but also confused.
Sun Aimin replied: "I came to deliver the goods and talk to your boss about something..."
The front desk clerk was very perceptive and helped him press the elevator button, saying, "Do you have an appointment with your boss? I'll call his office for you and tell him..."
Another receptionist said, "The boss came over early this morning and said that Chef Sun is here. Just go straight to his office!"
After thanking the front desk, Sun Aimin took the elevator directly to the floor where the boss's office was located, and then knocked on the office door.
"Come in!" The people in the office responded after hearing the knock on the door.
Sun Aimin did not send the seasoning powder to the kitchen first, but brought it directly to the office.
He put down the seasoning powder on his shoulder, opened the door himself, and saw the hotel boss making tea at the tea table in the office.
The big boss's surname was Zhang. He looked up and saw Sun Aimin coming in. He greeted Sun Aimin with a smile: "Come, Xiao Sun, have a cup of tea with me first, and then we can talk about things slowly..."
Sun Aimin walked over and sat down at the tea table. Boss Zhang poured Sun Aimin a cup of tea and motioned for him to taste it.
Sun Aimin has not yet developed the habit of drinking tea and doesn't know much about tea, but he can still tell whether the tea is good or not.
After the two chatted for a while over tea, Sun Aimin got to the point: "Boss Zhang, I'm here this time not only to give you the seasoning powder, but also to remind you of something..."
Boss Zhang said, "Xiao Sun, if you have anything to say, just say it..."
Sun Aimin didn't hide anything. Following the preface he had prepared before coming, he first asked Boss Zhang: "I remember when I left last year, the kitchen didn't have surveillance systems installed. I wonder if they are fully equipped now?"
Boss Zhang asked, "What problem have you discovered?"
Sun Aimin responded, "I think that for a hotel as large as ours, we can't skimp on infrastructure, and surveillance is the most critical facility. Whether it's in the lobby, corridors, kitchen, or even the office, it's essential to install surveillance."
This way, if something does happen, we can quickly find the root cause. For example, in the kitchen, there are so many people, and it's hard to guarantee that someone won't do something bad for some reason. With surveillance, we can better deter people."
Boss Zhang nodded in agreement with Sun Aimin's words, but he was still puzzled as to why Sun Aimin suddenly gave him such a suggestion.
Sun Aimin didn't intend to hide it and said directly: "I have trained my apprentice Wang Gang for several years. If he can secure the position of head chef with his own ability, it will be a great honor for me as his master.
Unfortunately, he was impatient and eager for quick success, and the issue of seasoning powder got to him, which made him resentful towards me.
I came here this time, on the one hand, to remind you not to let his revengeful mentality affect the reputation of the hotel, and on the other hand, I also came here to protect myself so that he wouldn't tamper with the seasoning powder and frame me.
Boss Zhang, we have known each other for quite some time. If you can trust me, it would be best to put the installation of surveillance cameras on the agenda as soon as possible.
As for my seasoning powder, I hope you can keep a sample here, so that if something bad happens, you can trace the source and avoid me being blamed."
Boss Zhang frowned and pondered for a few seconds before asking, "Are you saying that Wang Gang might be up to no good? There's no evidence to support this, and I can't just take your side of the story. I'll consider your suggestion."
He said this, but in fact he had already made up his mind. Boss Zhang was not very satisfied with Wang Gang either. A few months ago, due to his poor skills, he had offended that picky customer.
He had considered removing Wang Gang, but in terms of cooking skills, Wang Gang was the best in the kitchen. He had also been looking for a suitable candidate elsewhere, but hadn't found one yet.
Thinking of this, he asked Sun Aimin: "Xiao Sun, we are old friends. Are you interested in coming back and continuing the work?
If you come back, your ungrateful apprentice will have to give up his position to you... As for your salary, I'll give you an additional 500 on top of your original salary. What do you think?"
Sun Aimin smiled and said, "Boss Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but now my family has moved out of town, and I came back to take care of something, so I stopped by to visit you. If you need a chef here, I can help you keep an eye out..."
Boss Zhang responded, "You'd better pay attention to this matter. Wang Gang is quite capable, but..."
He shook his head and continued, "Even though your relationship with him had fallen out before, you're still his master. What he did in this matter was indeed a bit dishonest.
The guys in the kitchen have come to me to complain several times. If anyone can replace him, I will let him go immediately.
"Brother, why don't you come back and help me for a few days? Do you remember the distinguished guest I asked you to come back to entertain? Wang Gang swore that he could cook every dish the guest ordered, but he ended up messing it all up. I wished I could find a hole in the ground to crawl into."
