Three stores of [Shuweixiang Old Hotpot] opened in Guangzhou at the same time. Pang Weidong happily presided over the opening ceremony and then returned to Beijing.
The management personnel here are already in place. For chain operation, he has already found an effective way.
Du Shaojie doesn't care about the business. After the hotpot restaurant opened, he had nothing to do.
Recently, Liang Meiqin happened to be on vacation, so he took her to Duanzhou and stayed in Dinghu Villa for a week.
"Shaojie, I told President Cai that I will resign after finishing this project. But President Cai is not very happy. She said that I represent you, and you have to send someone else after I leave."
After the vacation, Liang Meiqin was reluctant to leave the beautiful Dinghu Mountain.
On the way back, she told Du Shaojie something.
"You don't have to worry about me. The key is to look at you. If you want to do it, keep doing it. If you don't want to do it, I'll go to Sister Cai to talk."
Du Shaojie's original intention was not to make her so tired, but now it seems that the other party seems to enjoy it.
When she is busy, she may complain, but when she is free, she is reluctant to leave Cai Jing's company. This is the contradiction of Liang Meiqin.
He simply made it clear that he didn't want to force her.
"Then how about I work for a while?"
Liang Meiqin was actually very entangled. On the one hand, she wanted to spend more time with Du Shaojie, and on the other hand, she learned a lot of useful knowledge in the company and her ability was greatly improved.
In the end, she didn't want to leave Cai Jing's company.
"Okay, just don't make yourself too tired. If you want to rest, take a leave. You are participating in the company's management on my behalf anyway. Unless you are really too busy, Sister Cai won't say anything."
Du Shaojie smiled slightly, gently held Liang Meiqin's palm, and expressed his attitude.
Liang Meiqin put down her worries, leaned on the other's shoulder, and fell asleep quickly.
Back in Guangzhou, she didn't stay any longer, and took the train directly to Shenzhen.
When Du Shaojie returned home, Wang Yuxiu took out an invitation, saying that someone had sent it specially.
He opened it and saw that the invitation was issued by the Cooking Association, inviting him to participate in the selection of the [Top Ten Chefs in Guangdong Province].
This event was jointly organized by the Provincial Cooking Association and the Municipal Cooking Association. Senior chefs in the province were invited to serve as judges, and young and middle-aged chefs with special chef qualifications or above were invited to participate.
Unlike various dazzling competitions, this event is semi-official in nature.
Du Shaojie thought about it and then called Luo Sankun.
"Master Luo, I received the invitation sent by the association. I would like to ask some details of this event. Is it convenient for you?"
"Mr. Du, why are you being polite to me? No matter how busy you are, you can't even have time to make a phone call. I know what you want to ask. I think if you can spare the time, you'd better participate.
The title of [Top Ten Chefs in Guangdong Province] may not mean much to you, but it plays an important role in your company. Many consumers recognize this."
Luo Sankun has a good relationship with Du Shaojie and speaks frankly.
He means that if Du Shaojie can get this title, it will also be of great benefit to the development of the company.
"Then I understand! Master Luo, let's get together this weekend? Let's go eat farm food. You can invite a few more people. It will be more lively with more people."
Du Shaojie made an appointment with the other party for a dinner party on the weekend, and then hung up.
He felt that what Luo Sankun said made sense. The selection event also had a performance competition. It was a good opportunity to learn and improve with the chefs in the province.
At this time, a prompt sound came to his ears.
[Ding!]
[Task: Be famous in the province and get the title of "Top Ten Chefs in Guangdong Province" within one month.]
[Reward: 100,000 redemption points, random gift pack (×2).]
[Penalty: If the task is not completed, no reward will be obtained for three months.]
The sudden release of the task gave Du Shaojie a surprise.
He originally planned to participate in this event and compete for the title of "Top Ten Chefs in Guangdong Province". Now with this task, if he can win smoothly, he will get double the benefits.
There is nothing more to say, he hurried to sign up.
Weekend.
Du Shaojie invited Luo Sankun to the fish restaurant for half a day. Eating was secondary. The main thing was to fish by the lake and exchange ideas.
These people were all elites in the industry, but few of them were going to participate in the [Top Ten Chefs of Guangdong Province] selection event.
Du Shaojie didn't react for a while, and it was Luo Sankun who cleared his confusion for him:
"Most of us are over the age limit, and those who are not over the age limit have reached the upper age limit. How can we compete with young people? Master Qi, Master Zhang and I were invited to serve as judges, and we are not eligible to participate in the selection event."
"Haha, I forgot about this for a moment."
Du Shaojie slapped his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
At noon, everyone had a full fish banquet. The chef's level was not worth mentioning in their eyes, but the seasoning and preparation methods were quite desirable. Several people chatted with Wu Dazhu after the meal.
After returning home, Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile.
Today's harvest was good. Not only did he master a lot of details of the selection activities, but the three tickets in the hands of Luo Sankun and others should be secured.
According to the requirements, he needs to submit personal materials to the judging panel before the selection activities begin, including his work experience, chef level, honors he has received, etc.
In addition, he needs to submit a work to the judging panel in person at the specified time.
"What dish should I make?"
After careful consideration, Du Shaojie decided to make a [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken].
He has multiple versions of this dish. This time he plans to make an innovative version of [Jiangnan Hundred Flowers Chicken] to highlight his advantages in seasoning and cooking skills.
He spent two days writing his personal materials and then took them to Luo Sankun for a look.
"Mr. Du, you can't write like this, it's too low-key. This time we are doing a selection activity, and we must show the glorious side of your career.
For example, in this paragraph, you should write: I am the founder of Xichuan Restaurant, a large-scale restaurant chain covering major cities across the country, and I am also the chief chef of the company.
In addition, you should also write about the awards you have won in the past. Here, you should add more content about innovative dishes and the restoration of old Sichuan dishes. Aren't you well-versed in "jianghu cuisine"? You should also write about this part."
Luo Sankun has served in the association for many years and has rich experience.
After his revision, Du Shaojie's career experience suddenly became fuller, more than twice as good as what he wrote himself.
Du Shaojie was speechless. It was definitely wrong to say that the content of the materials was untrue. Those contents were all well-documented and not made up at random.
However, these contents have been properly processed and elevated, and the words are very impactful.
I have learned a lot!
Du Shaojie then rewrote his personal materials here with Luo Sankun and handed them in directly.
After leaving the association, he didn't care about the materials. After all, the selection activity ultimately depends on the works, and the works account for about 60% of the points in the selection.
On the day.
Du Shaojie came to the designated location and made an innovative version of [Jiangnan Baihua Chicken] in front of 9 judges.
The moment the dish was completed, it immediately attracted the eyes of all the judges.
This dish has a beautiful appearance and a fragrant aroma. After tasting it, everyone had to be impressed by Chef Du's superb skills.
Du Shaojie then bowed slightly to the judges and left the scene. He felt that he had performed very well today and it seemed that he had a sure win.
However, what happened later was so beyond his expectations that he regretted participating in this selection activity.
After a few days, all the links of the selection activity were completed, waiting for the final opinions of the judging panel.
Du Shaojie was also waiting for the results, but he received a call from Luo Sankun, who asked him to meet in a teahouse not far from his home.
"Mr. Du, I shouldn't be here right now. Because the final review has changed, I have to come here to give you a shot of prevention. I hope you are mentally prepared."
Luo Sankun's face was not very good. He had quarreled with people a lot in the past two days. Some things made him very angry.
If personal materials are subjective, and the scores are completely based on the preferences of the judges, then the submitted works are objective. Good is good, and bad is bad.
The judges praised Du Shaojie's "Jiangnan Baihua Chicken", but there was a problem in the scoring process.
"Do you mean I was not selected?"
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Du Shaojie still said this.
This kind of selection activity cannot be absolutely fair. To be honest, if someone deliberately gave a low score, he can accept it.
Where there are people, there will be struggles. He will feel angry, but he will not do anything.
"Well, if you were directly eliminated, I would have nothing to say. The problem is that you obviously got a high score in the first scoring, but due to human reasons, this score was invalidated and you have to go through another round."
What made Luo Sankun most angry was that some people didn't even care about their face.
The "some people" here refer to President Wu Yingcai of the Municipal Association and Vice President Peng Wanli of the Provincial Association.
"No, if they want to ensure that someone enters the top ten, there is no need for them to target me, right? According to what you said, my comprehensive score is among the best, how could they squeeze me out?"
Du Shaojie suppressed his anger and felt that there were many doubts about this matter.
Luo Sankun shook his head. He was actually very confused and even wondered if Du Shaojie had offended these two people.
"Wu Yingcai and Peng Wanli have done a lot of work down there in the past two days, and the situation is not optimistic. Several of us strongly opposed the re-scoring, but we can't do anything about it. I'm afraid we can't do anything about it."
The association is about to hold another election, and Luo Sankun has long wanted to get rid of that bastard Wu Yingcai.
Wu Yingcai is Peng Wanli's man, and he hasn't done anything good in recent years. Everyone has a lot of opinions about the two of them, but no one can shake their positions.
It is said that Peng Wanli has an unusual background. (End of this chapter)
