"If you have nothing to do, go and find out what's going on in the play-offs of "King of the Kitchen"."

While saying this, Shang Huaiyan was already sitting in his CEO's office.

In winter, the bright sun shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows at the back, but outlines the people sitting on the chairs into the shadows.

Standing in front of the desk, the assistant to the president who has a lot of things to report to the president: "..." What is this? ?

Before he could recover from the shock, the chair turned, and the curtains were lowered. Shang Huaiyan clasped his knuckles on the table: "Has anything happened recently?"

The assistant hurriedly said: "Yes! There is a big event!"

Shang Huaiyan: "Tell me."

The assistant was filled with righteous indignation, temporarily forgetting the question just now: "Manager Shang doesn't let our people get in touch with people from Jiang's Enterprise! He wants to monopolize that cooperation project of Jiang's Enterprise!"

Shang Huaiyan smiled: "Oh."

He stood up from the office chair, walked to the corner of the office, poured a glass of water and drank slowly, then sprinkled a handful of fish food into the fish tank, and then said leisurely: "Forget it, anyway, I am the president and he is the manager. There's no reason I'm going to grab credit with him."

Although in a general enterprise, the manager is indeed the subordinate of the chief executive officer.

But in this company, things are a bit complicated. First of all, it is a huge company. Secondly, there is a group of shareholders above the CEO who hates to meddle in everything, and the chairman who temporarily retreats behind the scenes but controls everything. Manager Shang is also surnamed Shang... If you say too much, it's all about the grievances of the rich.

The assistant was a little depressed. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't hold back, and said, "Mr. Shang, you didn't have this attitude before. Let us pay more attention to Manager Shang and don't give them too much room for development."

Shang Huaiyan finished spreading the fish food, watched the big and small fish scrambling for each other in a bathtub, and lit a cigarette leisurely: "You said it yourself, it was before."

Seeing the assistant's angry and puzzled expression, he still said a few more words to his confidant: "It's nothing, I've figured out something recently, it's better to be a human being and have fun in time." Then, before the assistant was about to speak, he gently He interrupted those with a wave of his hand, "Okay, I will take care of this matter, don't forget what I told you just now."

Assistant: "??" What did you tell me?

Shang Huaiyan reminded again: "Remember to find out the details about the additional competition of "The King of Chefs", the participants, organizers, status in the chef industry, etc., and let me know."

Assistant: "..." Wait, what the hell is this? !

He was silent for a moment, suddenly expressionless:

"Mr. Shang, you haven't been in touch with those previous lovers in the past month. Among them, Ms. Wang called my mobile phone several times. I used diamond jewelry to comfort her before. But I can see that in her heart I'm getting more and more suspicious that you have another lover, she was a reporter before, I'm afraid I will find out about your new lover soon..."

Shang Huaiyan turned his head around and almost raised his voice: "Comfort her!" After a while, he added, "And others."

The assistant continued to remain expressionless, saying "I can't do it, don't look for me!"

Shang Huaiyan and his assistant looked at each other for a moment, then rubbed their foreheads with their fingers helplessly: "Okay, I see... I'll call Mr. Jiang and invite him out for lunch, let's have a detailed talk with him. "

The assistant's face suddenly turned from rain to sunshine, and his straight back bent down immediately, with a festive and witty smile: "Jiang is always a glutton, and his favorite is Huaiyang cuisine. I will give it to you two at Shengshi Book a seat, Sheng Shi said that he recently recruited a good Huaiyang chef, and the Huaiyang cuisine is very authentic, Mr. Shang, you take Mr. Jiang to eat and chat there, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

Shang Huaiyan didn't bother to answer, and waved his hand to indicate that the other party could go down.

At this time, he wanted to smoke the cigarette in his hand again, only to find that during the conversation just now, the cigarette in his hand had been quietly extinguished because the owner had forgotten.

He couldn't help laughing, and threw the cigarette without even a trace of spark on the table, and then went back to the desk to look at the various documents accumulated during this period of time.

He was also a little careless when looking at the documents.

In fact, time has not passed too long.

It was just a kidnapping incident, and I met a very interesting person.

But it does seem a little different now than in the past.

He began to be lazy to deal with these company struggles.

Maybe it's because - he found someone who was more able to attract his attention, that thing?

Last time he tasted the other's fingers.Next time I hope to taste each other's lips, neck, shoulders, and more intimate places.

As soon as such thoughts appeared in his mind, Shang Huaiyan felt hungry and thirsty.

He took a deep breath, calmed down for a moment, rationality overwhelmed desire, worries resurfaced in his mind: But in recent days Baitang has been very busy, and he won't let me go there again.

Is it because I am preparing to move to a restaurant, or because I was too impulsive last time...?

When Shang Huaiyan thought of Yi Baitang unconsciously, Yi Baitang was just in front of a five-star hotel in the city center.

There is a large fountain at the entrance of the resplendent hotel. Several flags are erected on the fountain, which are the flags of the company, the hotel, and the hotel partners.

When Yi Baitang arrived at the entrance of the hotel by taxi, the doorman standing in front of the glass door rushed forward to greet him.

He was wearing a neat hotel uniform, and when the car was stable, he immediately helped Yi Baitang open the door of the taxi, and put the back of his hand against the edge of the roof of the car to prevent the passengers sitting in the car from bumping their heads.

When the people in the car came out, their faces were exposed to the sun and caught in the doorman's eyes, the doorman was stunned for a moment, surprised in his heart, and subconsciously looked around Yi Baitang, looking for someone who might follow him group of fans.

Of course, the doorman didn't find any young men and women with cameras, cheering signs or gifts, but the guests who came to this five-star hotel at the same time all looked at Yi Baitang as if nothing.

Yi Baitang didn't pay attention to the person standing beside him. He ate around several five-star hotels in the capital in the past two days, and finally chose the one with the best taste and the most cuisines to stay.

He walked straight into the lobby of the hotel, came to the service desk, and said before the smiling lady standing behind the service desk, "I'm here to apply."

The smile on the service lady's face remained unchanged: "Good sir, the application for the administrative assistant and room manager of Shengshi Hotel is in the meeting room 3001 on the third floor; industrial-"

"I'm here to apply for the hotel's kitchen department." Yi Baitang interrupted the other party.

The service lady was stunned: "Sorry sir, Shengshi has no recruitment plan from the kitchen department recently."

"Yes." Yi Baitang said lightly.

The service lady smiled again: "There must be some wrong message, I have not received such a notification."

Yi Baitang glanced at the waitress, then turned his head and glanced at the big wall clock in the corner of the spacious hall, stopped talking, put his hands in his pockets, and leaned against the side.

Didn't leave?

Only then did the service lady turn her eyes, which had been attracted by Yi Baitang's face, to other places.

Ordinary shirts, ordinary trousers, and no shoes, so they must be ordinary goods.

The family background is not good, the job is not good, an out-and-out ordinary person.

Hmph, I still want to stand in front of the service desk.

The waitress still had a perfect smile on her face, but her heart was getting tired of it, so what if a person is beautiful, and she can't be eaten if she is beautiful.

Need to find a way to keep him away from the service desk without drawing attention to other customers.

The service lady thought to herself, her heart moved, she smiled again and said to Yi Baitang: "Hello, sir, please wait, I will check the arrangement sent from above to see if I missed a piece of information."

As she said that, she lowered her head, flipped through a stack of A4 duty forms pretendingly, raised her head again and said to Yi Baitang happily and apologetically: "Hello, sir! I was looking through the documents just now and found that there are two places There may be recruitment arrangements, but there is no specific recruitment arrangement. You can go up and try, which are Room 3125 on the third floor and Room 4118 on the fourth floor."

After finishing speaking, she showed a standard and impeccable smile.

The next moment, she heard the hotel clock strike ten o'clock in the morning, and the man standing by the counter glanced at her lightly, as if looking at an ordinary vase or an ordinary sofa. any mood swings.

Yi Baitang's tone was the same from beginning to end: "No need."

He then turned his head and looked at the glass door in the lobby: "All the examiners are here."

The service lady took a look and saw the revolving glass door in the lobby turning, and a group of unfamiliar elderly people appeared in the lobby with a group of familiar men over the age of 45.

Are my eyes delusional?

Those familiar men in their 50s and [-]s look like the head chefs of various cuisines in the hotel!

As for the strange old man, it seems that he is not too unfamiliar. I remember seeing a photo in the hotel... a photo?

The waitress thought of something, her eyes straightened.

At this time, the old man who just came in looked around and quickly locked Yi Baitang's position in the empty lobby.

He came to Yi Baitang in three steps at a time, stretched out his hand to hold Yi Baitang's hands that had just come out of his pockets, shook them firmly, patted them lightly, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for many years." , you have grown up too!"

Yi Baitang frowned, also puzzled, he didn't remember knowing the person in front of him.

The old man explained with a smile: "About 20 years ago, I had the honor to meet that person and taste the dishes prepared by him."

I see.Yi Baitang calmed down the raised eyebrows, and got to the point: "I'm here to apply."

At this time, the old man also restrained his enthusiasm at the beginning, but he did not let go of Yi Baitang's hand, but walked forward with his arm all the way.

Their conversation is still far away:

"Mr. Yi Xiao is here to apply for the head chef?"

"You have a chef of Huaiyang cuisine, right?"

"There can never be too many chefs. The new Huaiyang chef is Mr. Wang Yunfei. Mr. Wang has only been here for two months."

"Then I shouldn't apply for the chef, but I should apply for the position of specially invited technical director." Yi Baitang said indifferently.

"Hehehehe-"

A group of people have entered the elevator.

The lobby manager hurried forward and asked the service lady who received Yi Baitang just now: "Who is the one who was dragged away by the boss and the chefs just now?"

The service lady was already stunned, and she didn't even hear the word "President" said by the lobby manager.

Another colleague who was standing next to him glanced at him, stepped forward and whispered a few words to the lobby manager in an open and honest manner.

The manager of the lobby listened for a while, and then the eyes that fell on the service lady were not so friendly...

But this has nothing to do with Yi Baitang.

He didn't even remember whether the person who entertained him was a man or a woman, fat or thin.

He was already standing in the kitchen he was familiar with.

The owner of this five-star hotel and most of the head chefs who can walk away have come to this well-equipped kitchen.

The boss stood aside, with a kind smile on his face, but shrewd and sharp eyes: "Mr. Yi Xiao, you come to apply for the technical guidance of Shengshi Huaiyang Cuisine. Let's make a crab roe and lion's head, which is a representative dish of the state banquet."
