The next day.
Du Shaojie came to the fish restaurant early. In such a large place, only Wu Dazhu and his wife were there. Everyone else had gone on holiday.
Today's meal was arranged in the evening. All the ingredients were selected by him personally, so there would be no problems.
"Old Wu, you two should go to rest too. I don't need your help today. Cheng Gang is enough to help me."
Du Shaojie also sent Wu Dazhu and his wife away. Only people around him were in the whole [fish restaurant].
In the evening.
Du Shaojie made twelve dishes, each of which was a fine Cantonese cuisine. It included Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine and Hakka cuisine. Jiang Cheng took office, and he decided to entertain him with local dishes.
Jiang Cheng did not break his promise and arrived at [fish restaurant] ten minutes earlier than the agreed time.
"As expected of Chef Du, this table of dishes is full of fragrance. Not to mention eating, just looking at it is a feast for the eyes."
Jiang Cheng waited for Du Shaojie to sit down, pointed to the table full of dishes and said with a smile.
He was in his prime, and his personality was not as old-fashioned as Feng Qingsong, so Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"What are you waiting for? It won't taste good if it gets cold. Come, try my cooking."
The two of them spoke immediately, and Luo Qin came in and poured a glass of white wine for each of them, and then left the private room.
"Your cooking skills are amazing now. I think you have improved compared to the last time you cooked. It's not an exaggeration. Your cooking skills have reached the level of returning to nature."
Jiang Cheng praised sincerely while eating.
He had naturally been to high-end restaurants and tasted dishes made by famous chefs of various cuisines, but none of them could compare to the table of dishes made by Du Shaojie today.
"That's too much, it's a compliment. I've been thinking about participating in the preparation of a state banquet, but unfortunately, this wish is probably difficult to realize."
Du Shaojie couldn't help but laugh. He has always been very confident in his cooking skills.
Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head. Even if the other party wanted to be humble, he was proud in his bones.
He didn't think that Du Shaojie's level was not enough to host a state banquet, the other party just didn't have the opportunity.
"You have been on a smooth road these years, and the trouble you encountered a while ago was really nothing. I know everything about you and Yin Qiang. If that guy doesn't follow the right path, he will fall into trouble sooner or later."
The two of them ate something and drank two glasses of wine together.
Jiang Cheng was still very satisfied with what Du Shaojie had done in recent years, so he made a point to the other party.
"Leader, I didn't take the initiative to provoke Yin Qiang before, but he was the one who made trouble for me everywhere. Fortunately, you are here now, otherwise I would have planned to move the company headquarters to another place."
Du Shaojie made a joke and also expressed his attitude towards Yin Qiang.
Yin Qiang was quiet for a while, and he didn't want to take the initiative to provoke him. There is no rush to settle the account, there will always be a chance.
"You are right to think so! Your company has already taken root here, why do you want to move? Even if the king of heaven comes, you won't move. Just do your job well, and don't think too much about the rest."
Jiang Cheng's words were like a reassurance to Du Shaojie.
His predecessor basically retired this time because he did not stand firm, and he didn't even have the opportunity to make use of his remaining energy.
With the lessons learned from the past, he didn't believe that anyone would dare to jump out openly. As for Yin Qiang, in his eyes, he was just a jumping clown. When there was a suitable opportunity, he would let the other party know that it was not only good to take shelter under a big tree, but also possible to be struck by lightning.
"All of these are [Cantonese dishes] today. Can the leader get used to them?"
"I can get used to them! I have changed several places to work in these years, and I adapt to the local customs. My taste is much wider. By the way, how long have you not been back to Xijiang to take a look?"
The two chatted about family matters, and they became happier and happier.
The meal lasted for an hour and a half. Before leaving, Jiang Cheng gave Du Shaojie two cans of tea.
Du Shaojie was overjoyed. This tea is a good thing that money can't buy.
The next day,
Du Shaojie went to the training center and checked the company's annual training plan.
He just had an idea to join some industry associations to hold a province-wide youth skills competition.
"Manager Chu, the training plan may need to be changed to encourage our employees to participate in this skills competition, and the competition should be given priority in the time arrangement."
"Okay, President Du, my training plan can be adjusted later, and it will not affect the competition."
Chu Linlin responded with a smile. From what the boss said, it seemed that he wanted to put the (chef) branch venue of the competition at the training center, which she wanted.
"I just had this idea not long ago. The preparation work will take at least half a year. There is no rush."
Du Shaojie saw Chu Linlin eager to try, and smiled and added.
Organizing a competition requires a long time to plan. He came here today just to see if there is any conflict with the company's internal training plan, not to ask Chu Linlin to start immediately.
Afterwards, he went to the association and discussed this matter with everyone.
Because it will take at least half a year to prepare, this activity can be regarded as the work achievement of next year, and everyone is very supportive.
Luo Santong was in charge of contacting other associations, and another vice president was in charge of organizing and mobilizing. The entire board of directors would provide assistance to the two of them, providing money and people.
This matter was settled, and for the next period of time, in addition to studying cooking, Du Shaojie would also visit the association from time to time.
"Xiao Wu, you are not quite ready for this [Stir-fried Kidney] dish. Watch, I will show you how to do it."
At noon that day, Wu Chenggang was criticized just after he finished a [Stir-fried Kidney].
There were still ingredients, so Du Shaojie immediately started to make the dish again, explaining it while he was doing it.
Wu Chenggang kept nodding his head. He found the reason for his mistake and quickly memorized the key points.
"Boss, can I make another one?"
He was eager to try, and his urgency was evident in his words.
Du Shaojie nodded and made way for the other party to show his skills.
This time, Wu Chenggang kept in mind the key points, especially the control of the heat. He did not dare to be careless at all. A [Stir-fried Kidney] was freshly baked, and it looked better than before.
Du Shaojie tasted it and nodded.
"Well, it's not bad this time, a great improvement. However, there are still some problems with the seasoning. You must pay attention to it next time."
Although Wu Chenggang's new dish still had some minor flaws, it was generally up to standard.
Du Shaojie casually picked out a few minor problems and planned to go eat.
Wu Chenggang walked over to take a look and saw that there was only one portion left, so he said, "Boss, I remember what you just said. How about I fry another portion of [Stir-fried Kidney Flower]?"
Du Shaojie was a little speechless, but considering that there was only one portion of ingredients left, he let him fry it.
This time, Wu Chenggang seemed to be confident, and his movements were as smooth as flowing water, completing the preparation of this dish.
Du Shaojie's eyes lit up, and after tasting it, he gave Wu Chenggang a thumbs up: "Very good!"
Then he asked the other party to take the dish out, and Wang Yongli and others came to help. Soon everyone sat around the dining table.
Luo Qin looked at the dishes on the table and was a little amused.
There were four plates of [Stir-fried Kidney Flower] and four plates of [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork] on the table, and it was obvious at a glance that the same dishes were not fried in the same pot.
"Let's eat."
Du Shaojie smiled and waved his hand, and everyone started to eat.
Li Yimei and Luo Qin didn't eat kidneys, so they had to eat [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork]. However, these four dishes were also particular. One of them was cooked by Du Shaojie, and the remaining three were cooked by Wu Chenggang, and the quality of the dishes was different.
Luo Qin tasted them one by one, and then secretly winked at Li Yimei, indicating that one of the dishes was the most delicious.
Li Yimei immediately understood, so the two of them stared at the dish of [Fish-flavored Shredded Pork] and didn't even pick up the chopsticks for the dishes on the other plates.
To be honest, Wu Chenggang's cooking skills have improved a lot now, but they often eat the dishes cooked by the boss, so their tastes have become picky.
Du Shaojie didn't eat much, and after eating, he went upstairs to rest.
In the afternoon.
He received a call from Liang Meiqin, saying that there was a problem at the company.
'I don't know how it happened, but we were targeted by the FDA anti-money laundering agency, and the recent account transactions have been affected to some extent. Shaojie, if you have time, you'd better come over. Some things can't be explained clearly over the phone. "
"Yes, I'll go there tomorrow. "
Du Shaojie understood that the so-called unclear explanation actually meant that it was inconvenient to talk on the phone.
However, he was not very worried. After all, all the business he did was legal, and there was no need for money laundering.
There were only two possibilities for the company to be targeted now. One possibility was that the financial transactions caused misunderstandings, and the other possibility was that it was maliciously reported. But no matter how he said it, he had to pay attention to it.
The next day.
Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to Hong Kong, but Wu Chenggang did not go. Instead, he stayed in the training center to learn from several chefs.
"What's going on?"
He asked when he saw Liang Meiqin and others.
[Dingxin International] has been operating for so many years, and it cannot be said that there have been no violations, but no one has noticed it before.
Now the company's operations are very standardized, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Mr. Du, the root of this matter is that we have made several overseas investments, and the investment returns are very good. Now we have got back both the principal and the interest. It may be that the investment area is more sensitive, so it was targeted. "
Winnie explained quickly, because she was the one who led these two investments, and now that there is a problem, she is under a lot of pressure.
"It may not be the reason, Mr. Du, I think someone took the opportunity to talk about these two investments, and their purpose is to interfere with our normal business."
Fan Shilun has a different opinion, he thinks someone is behind it.
Liang Meiqin agrees with Winnie's opinion, but she thinks that the opinions of both people are speculations, and it is too early to draw a conclusion.
"What you said makes sense, now I just need to confirm one question, is the company involved in money laundering?"
Du Shaojie did not comment, but asked very seriously. (End of this chapter)
