Du Shaojie smiled, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on eating.
After returning home in the afternoon, Wang Yongli took Wu Chenggang to buy some vegetables. Du Shaojie planned to cook dinner by himself, and the preliminary preparations were handed over to Wu Chenggang.
"Xiao Wu, you still need to practice your knife skills. Look at my method, pay attention to the angle of the knife, don't just go for speed."
Du Shaojie was very interested in giving instructions. He found that Wu Chenggang was indeed suitable to be a chef. He learned everything well, and his understanding and memory were very good.
He planned to train him, after all, such a spiritual chef is rare.
After Wu Chenggang finished the preparations, Du Shaojie started to cook. In fact, he rarely used some dazzling techniques. At his current level of cooking skills, he felt a sense of returning to nature.
Wu Chenggang stood aside and watched. He felt that he was very lucky to be favored by the boss, so he had the opportunity to learn from him.
A few simple dishes, but they were full of fragrance, and everyone was very happy to eat.
While eating, Wu Chenggang was thinking about some of the things he had just learned. He was obsessed with cooking and liked to think about it. Du Shaojie actually saw this point.
Next, Wu Chenggang will have the opportunity to practice slowly, which is very stressful for him. After all, the dishes he cooks are for the boss, Assistant Wang, Assistant Luo and others to eat, and any flaws will be pointed out.
In the morning.
Wu Chenggang went to Hou San's store to get breakfast back. In the past, this was Wang Yongli's job, but now it is all handed over to him.
Du Shaojie had breakfast and then took a car to the Provincial Association.
The previous "Food Festival" brought great reputation to the association. This is the work achievement and all the credit. For the time being, he does not plan to organize large-scale activities. After all, the association's funds are limited and everyone's energy is limited.
When he arrived at the association, Du Shaojie asked Luo Santong to notify everyone to hold a meeting. In fact, a group of people sat together and chatted casually, and then imagined the focus of work for next year.
After the meeting, he was ready to leave. Anyway, the purpose was achieved and there was no need to waste time here.
Walking downstairs, Luo Santong chased after him.
"President Luo, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing serious, I heard that you accepted an apprentice? He is so lucky."
"Where did the rumor come from? I didn't accept an apprentice. He is the son of Old Wu from [Fish Restaurant]. He has some talent and is temporarily doing odd jobs with me. Why are you asking this? Even if I accept an apprentice, I can't accept Zhang Yang. He is already a first-class chef."
Du Shaojie and Luo Santong chatted and laughed all the way to the parking lot.
"President Du, the recent situation is not right. I heard that someone wants to remove your president. However, this news has not been confirmed, so you should pay more attention to it."
Luo Santong said in a low voice when he saw that there was no one around.
As Du Shaojie's direct line, the two of them have a relationship of prosperity and loss. So after hearing this rumor, he quickly found an opportunity to tell the other party so that the other party could be mentally prepared.
"Well, I understand. However, I am the president of the association, and it is not easy for anyone to remove me. President Luo, relax. If someone really wants to deal with me, I am afraid he does not have the strength."
Du Shaojie patted Luo Santong on the shoulder and got in the car and left.
As a giant in the catering industry, he naturally has his own confidence. To put it bluntly, the association is an industry self-discipline organization. If it cannot convince the public, no matter what president comes, it will not work.
When he returned home, he put this matter behind his mind.
According to the original plan, Du Shaojie should start the "double upgrade" of [Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] during this period. The so-called "double upgrade" refers to the upgrade of the hot pot base and dipping sauce formula, as well as the service upgrade.
He would not disrupt his rhythm because of such things, so he went to the training center early the next morning.
"Mr. Du, the 10 chefs of the hot pot restaurant have come to report, and they are waiting for you in a small meeting now."
Chu Linlin knew that the boss was coming today, so she waited in the hall early in the morning.
As soon as Du Shaojie entered the door, she greeted him with a smile, and then took him to the small meeting room.
Later, Du Shaojie organized the chefs to discuss.
Li Yimei and Wu Chenggang sat behind him to take notes. The 10 chefs talked very enthusiastically, all about the improvement suggestions for hot pot base and dipping sauce. They were not responsible for service.
In fact, Du Shaojie still had a new generation of recipes in his hands. However, now the company has a lot of talents, even hot pot restaurants have many people who can take the lead.
He thinks that this kind of thing should be done by collective efforts, so that more people can participate, rather than just one man.
As a secretary, Li Yimei's job is to take good notes of the meeting.
Wu Chenggang temporarily hung the title of a personal assistant, and the things he recorded were mainly related to skills. He himself was not familiar with hot pot base and dipping sauce, but he still gained a lot from listening to everyone's discussion.
"I have remembered everyone's suggestions. I will try to improve the hot pot base later. See you in training room No. 6 tomorrow morning."
The discussion lasted for a whole morning, and Du Shaojie got up and left near noon.
He did not eat at the training center, but went directly to the train station branch of Xichuan Restaurant.
At noon, he had a meal with several acquaintances from the association's competent department. Before he could ask, they told him the truth.
"Indeed, some people in the province have questioned your position as president, saying that you are not seen all day and your virtue is not worthy of the position. At that time, someone talked about your qualifications and contributions to the association, and that person shut up."
These people present usually have a good relationship with Du Shaojie.
They think that some people are really bored. Who can sit in the position of president of such an industry association without a deep foundation?
"Thank you for telling me, otherwise I would still be in the dark. To be honest, the position of president is not easy to sit, and I wish I had less worries."
Du Shaojie clasped his fists, expressed his gratitude to everyone, and expressed his attitude at the same time.
Everyone present was smart, ignoring the self-deprecation in the other party's words, and understood that the other party was going to fight to the death with the opponent.
"Mr. Du, please rest assured that even if we are not easy to stand in line in public, we will definitely support you in private."
Everyone was happy after the meal. After Du Shaojie sent the guests away, he went to the training center.
After repeated discussions and attempts by Du Shaojie and the chefs, the new version of the hot pot base (including dipping sauce) formula is freshly baked.
Next, he, the boss, has nothing to do. The work of updating the hot pot base (dipping sauce) will be led by these chefs and then quickly implemented.
[Shuweixiang Old Hot Pot] has been doing it for so many years and has already formed a unique operating model.
Du Shaojie, who is free, continues to stay at home, handles official business every day, and visits the association from time to time. The rest of the time is spent studying cooking and instructing Wu Chenggang.
Rumors that the provincial association will change its president have never stopped, and he is too lazy to trace the source of the rumor.
Because it didn't take long for the rumor to land. Under the operation of someone with a heart, the provincial association ushered in a new election.
"Mr. Du, the list of elected directors and executive directors has come out, please take a look."
Du Shaojie got the freshly baked list in the office. After reading it, he found that the list was not much different from the previous one, and it was almost the same team.
He had an idea in mind, so he said, "Then let's start electing the president and vice president."
"Boss Du, someone has been working off-site during this period. Do we need to respond?"
Luo Santong was not as calm as Du Shaojie, and he was still a little uneasy.
So he made a suggestion, suggesting that the other party do some activities in private.
"No need! If these people are easily pulled away by others every day, then there is not much point in us staying in the association. Let's proceed normally. It's better to do it sooner rather than later, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Du Shaojie shook his head and did not leave Luo Santong more time.
He knew that Luo Santong had not been idle during this period. In fact, it was a bit late to do anything now, so it was better to cut the Gordian knot and end it early.
The next day.
The provincial association held a meeting, and the directors and executive directors elected the candidates for the president and vice president.
As expected by Du Shaojie, he was elected as the new president with a high vote, and Luo Santong was also successfully elected as the vice president.
Then the list was reported to the higher-level competent department. If there was no problem with the qualifications of the candidates, generally there would be no changes.
But after the list was submitted, Du Shaojie's qualifications as the president were questioned by many people.
Of course, there were also many people who supported Du Shaojie. These people were people who had a lot of weight in their words, so no one dared to cross out Du Shaojie's name directly.
This was embarrassing. There was no news after the list was submitted. The
work of the association was still in the charge of the previous president, vice president, and executive director, which meant that nothing had changed so far. Who made the higher-ups so slow in doing things?
This matter became a joke in the circle, and for some people who were eager to attack Du Shaojie, it was simply a loss of prestige.
After Lin Zhiyuan learned about this, he severely criticized this person at a meeting. This person himself had no grudge against Du Shaojie, but just wanted to curry favor with that person, and took a different approach.
At the meeting, even that person couldn't say anything, and finally gave that person a warning.
After the meeting, the re-election list of the provincial association was endorsed by the competent department, and Du Shaojie still sat firmly in the position of president, which shocked many speculators.
It seems that he is not a harmless little white rabbit, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In this way, many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation retreated, and Du Shaojie had fewer troubles.
After several rounds of competition, the other person also understood that Du Shaojie had a strong base in the province. It was not just one person, but people from all walks of life were protecting him.
The key is that Du Shaojie did things without leaking any holes, making it difficult to find any handle on him.
Moreover, as a local representative, Lin Zhiyuan already had the strength to compete with the other person, so he was unwilling to make trouble. (End of this chapter)
