Du Shaojie had guessed the other party's identity before. After hearing what Wu Dazhu said, he smiled and said, "Then let him in."
Wu Dazhu walked to the door and greeted him. Wu Chenggang followed his father in and stood aside in a proper manner.
"Sit down, Old Wu. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Du Shaojie didn't have such a big rule here. He asked the family of three to sit down before asking. The
reason why he came here today was because he received a call from Wu Dazhu before, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him.
It happened that he was a little bored these two days, so he asked Ye Weiming and others to come fishing in the afternoon and find out what Wu Dazhu was doing.
"Boss, it's like this. My wife and I are old, and we are willing but unable to do many things. My eldest son has been to college, and I want him to train with me for two years to see if he can take over my job in the future."
Wu Dazhu and Du Shaojie have a good relationship, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts.
After all, he has a share in [Fish Restaurant], so this request would not seem abrupt.
Du Shaojie smiled and listened to what the other party said. Then he looked at Wu Chenggang carefully.
The young man was of medium build and looked very energetic. He looked like a person with light in his eyes.
"Xiao Wu, have you ever been in the catering industry before?"
"Mr. Du, when I was in college, I worked in a restaurant almost every winter and summer vacation. I am not unfamiliar with the catering industry."
Wu Chenggang seemed a little nervous, but spoke very logically.
Then he explained that he has always liked cooking. Although his family is not short of money, he still works in the restaurant during business hours based on his interest.
"What major did you study in college?"
"I studied machinery, but I don't want to work in a factory. I like to work in the catering industry."
"It seems that you didn't choose the right major at the beginning, haha. Xiao Wu, come on, cook two dishes for me to see, I want to see what you have learned working in the restaurant."
Du Shaojie did not reject Wu Dazhu's recommendation of his son to take over, but the premise is that the other party must have the ability to do so.
After all, he is also the major shareholder of [Fish Restaurant], and it is impossible for him to find a scumbag to manage the company.
He asked Wu Chenggang to cook, not to test his cooking skills, but to see what he had learned in his spare time over the years.
From the small, it is clear whether Wu Chenggang is bragging or really likes this business.
Wu Dazhu and his wife wanted to say something, but in the end they did not open their mouths. They knew that their son had learned something while working, but they could not tell what it was.
They were afraid that their son would reveal his secrets in front of the boss and leave a bad impression.
Du Shaojie ignored the two of them and took Wu Chenggang to the kitchen. Everyone was busy at this time, so they came to the empty stove at the back.
"What dish do you want to make?"
"I haven't learned it systematically, so I don't know many dishes. Let's make [Stir-fried Pork with Chili] and [Spicy Fish Chunks] today."
Du Shaojie nodded, and then asked someone to bring the ingredients.
The ingredients were clean, but the other party had to handle them by himself.
Wu Chenggang quickly got into the state, handling the ingredients, marinating, preparing small ingredients and side dishes, and then started to heat the pan and boil the oil.
Du Shaojie didn't say a word and just watched from beginning to end.
After Wu Chenggang finished cooking two dishes, he said, "Boss, would you like to try it?"
He stared at Du Shaojie while speaking, fearing that he would refuse. At this time, he was still quite nervous, with a kind of anxiety like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to announce the score after the exam.
Du Shaojie said "hmm", then took the tableware and tasted the dishes made by the other party.
Then he was silent.
To be honest, Wu Chenggang's cooking skills were not worth mentioning in his eyes. But what surprised him was that this kid had not undergone systematic learning, but just worked in a restaurant during the winter and summer vacations, and basically reached the entry level of a junior chef.
These two home-cooked dishes were full of fragrance. Although there were many shortcomings, we could see the other party's potential from them.
It seems that Wu Chenggang really likes cooking, otherwise he would not have this level.
"Not bad, very good. Xiao Wu, you should follow me in the future. After a few years of training, you will be fully qualified to take over your parents' class."
Du Shaojie was moved by his love for talent and spoke.
When Wu Dazhu and his wife heard this, they were very happy. How great is it to be able to follow the boss?
Let's not talk about cooking, just being knowledgeable can bring countless benefits.
"Thank you, boss! I will definitely cherish this opportunity."
Wu Chenggang is a college student after all, how could he not understand that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He quickly agreed without saying a word, and kept thanking Du Shaojie.
Wu Dazhu and his wife were so happy that they didn't know what to do, and they surrounded Du Shaojie and said a lot of good things.
Du Shaojie waved his hand, indicating that the couple should do what they should do.
Then, he started to busy himself in the kitchen. After Ye Weiming and others arrived, he just asked Wu Chenggang to tell them to go fishing first, and he was going to cook a few dishes.
During this period, Wu Chenggang was always by his side.
In the evening.
Du Shaojie, Ye Weiming, Jiang Dongyuan, Huang Yong and others were sitting in a private room drinking.
Everyone was very happy to eat the dishes made by Chef Du himself today.
Especially Huang Yong, since he was transferred to Shenzhen, he had fewer opportunities to sit with everyone. He hadn't eaten such delicious dishes for a long time.
"Boss Du, don't take it seriously, just treat it normally. As the saying goes, the soldiers are always changing, maybe he will leave at any time."
Everyone knew that Du Shaojie was targeted. Jiang Dongyuan spoke up to persuade him, but he was actually talking about himself.
He recently got wind that he would retire within a year and basically had no chance to go further.
"Thank you for your concern! In fact, I really didn't take it to heart. I don't do things recklessly. If you want to find trouble with me through food safety and taxation, you are definitely thinking too much."
Du Shaojie laughed and didn't show any trouble.
It was really the case. The catering companies under his control had no problems with the ingredients. They paid taxes according to the regulations every month and were not afraid of being checked.
"That's right! A good blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as Mr. Du is not caught by others, there is nothing to be afraid of various inspections. It will only be a little troublesome."
Ye Weiming agreed with this. He knew Du Shaojie very well and knew that he would not leave any loopholes in these matters.
At the same time, with his status and connections, even that person would not dare to frame him blatantly.
So in his opinion, what happened before was a small matter and not worth mentioning.
"Let's not talk about this. It's rare for Director Huang to come to Guangzhou. Today, we must make sure he eats and drinks well."
Du Shaojie immediately changed the subject, and the atmosphere at the cocktail party became lively again.
His words still worked. Huang Yong finally got drunk, but everyone was in a good mood.
The next day.
Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to Shenzhen by car.
Tax audits should still be taken seriously. Of course, he did not make a trip just for this matter. Liang Meiqin happened to be on vacation these two days, and the other party also came to Shenzhen.
In the evening.
He and Liang Meiqin went to eat hot pot together.
"Shaojie, the hotpot in the mainland is still delicious. The hotpot I ate in Hong Kong always felt a little bit off. I wonder if it has been improved."
Liang Meiqin ate a lot of it, and then said with satisfaction.
Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, disagreeing with the other party's statement: "You are just psychological. The hotpot is just a little bit spicy, and there is no such big difference."
"Yeah, it may be a psychological effect. By the way, isn't the catering company conducting a tax audit? You don't have to accompany me. I'll go to Shanghai to see Xiaoya by myself."
Liang Meiqin knew about the tax audit, and she didn't want to be a drag, so she made it clear in advance.
"The tax audit is just a routine matter, there is nothing to worry about. I said, why did you suddenly think of going to see Xiaoya?"
"Xiaoya called me many times on the phone and invited me to Shanghai to play. I only agreed, but never fulfilled it once."
"Okay, go ahead, I won't accompany you."
Du Shaojie didn't go with Liang Meiqin because of the tax audit, but because he had no plans to go to Shanghai recently.
Since the other party wants to see Xiaoya, let them have fun for a few days, there is no need for me to join in the fun.
He stayed with Liang Meiqin for two days, and the other party flew to the Magic City.
Du Shaojie did not go to [Bailian Catering] to take charge, but went to the construction site of United Real Estate Development first. The whole project progressed smoothly. In fact, as long as the funds are in place, there will basically be no major problems these days.
After all, there are old real estate developers involved, and he and Liu Zijian and others are very worry-free.
Next, he went to [Dongsheng Electronics] and had a hot pot with Yu Mo. This is the second time to eat hot pot in a few days. There is no way, many women like this.
After wandering around outside for a few days, he came to the [Yuedong Entertainment] Building.
He has his own office here, handles official business, plays games in his spare time, and lives a very comfortable life.
That afternoon, Du Shaojie received a call from Yu Jianxin, saying that the tax audit had been completed and there was no problem with the company's accounts.
It's right, there is no problem, he is too lazy to meet with the tax staff.
Du Shaojie walked into the headquarters building only after the other party had withdrawn.
The employees in the finance department had been very hard-working during this period, working overtime every day to accompany the tax officials to check the accounts. So as soon as he arrived at the company, he asked Yu Jianxin to give a reward to the financial staff.
At noon.
Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to the company cafeteria. While eating, he asked Wu Chenggang: "Xiao Wu, what do you think of the company's food?"
"It's very good, better than ordinary restaurants. When I was in school, the food in the school cafeteria was really unpalatable. In comparison, the company's food is simply delicious."
Wu Chenggang now follows Du Shaojie all day and has a new judgment on deliciousness. (End of this chapter)
