The next morning, Qiao Zhi was busy in the kitchen and received Zhong Shi's phone number.

"You are amazing! You are entering the rematch with the first place in the first round."

"And you?"

"I'm a little inferior to you, and I'm only third."

"Congratulations!"

Zhong Shi thought for a while and coughed, "Confirm something with you. Is the pretty girl I saw in the cafeteria yesterday a cute Jessie?"

"Hey, you have good eyesight." Qiao Zhi looked at Zhong Shi in surprise.

He didn't recognize him for a while, but Zhong Shi could accurately name his sister-in-law's online name just after just one look.

Zhong Shi laughed and said, "To be honest, I have a hobby. I have followed more than 3,000 young ladies on short video platforms. I can easily recognize anyone in front of me."

"The beauty of those short video websites has been treated with beauty, right? There is still a difference between the real person and the video."

"At my level, I can achieve the existence of CCTV's demon mirror. Anyone is a pure amateur without beauty and filters!"

Qiao Zhi almost laughed, "No wonder my sister-in-law said you are vulgar."

"Sister-in-law, do you think it's a cute Jessie?" Zhong Shi suddenly wanted to explode with jealousy.

"Dun'er, I heard from my brother. Women cannot just look at their appearance. The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to be a female yaksha." Qiao Zhi comforted patiently, "My sister-in-law is just a bomb. If you fall in love with her, you will be self-harm. Marrying him will be suicide. I think you are a brother and can't cheat you."

"Bah, I think you just don't want to introduce your sister-in-law to me."

Qiao Zhi was extremely surprised when he heard a busy voice from the other side of the phone.

He really would not introduce his sister-in-law to Zhong Shi.

The reason is very simple. Introducing my sister-in-law to anyone will harm the other party.

My sister-in-law has the strange disease of male-phobia. As long as the man falls into his hands, there is basically no way out and he will be tortured to death.

Zhong Shi almost smashed his phone. This guy Qiao Zhi is so annoying.

Zhong Shi has been confused and confident since he was a child.

Even if you become a fat man by eating, you will optimistically make yourself a fool.

But Qiao Zhi made him feel jealous and envious.

The main reason is that Qiao Zhi loves to show off.

...

"Chef Chen, congratulations. I heard that you have successfully passed the first round of selection. Do you want to send a big red envelope?"

A group of people in the kitchen of Huaixiang Restaurant were announced and they started to make excuses.

"The red envelopes are exempted, it's just the first round."

Chen Ming's expression was not very good. He looked at Guo Yan who was mopping the floor. She didn't make any noise with the others, and her heart was a little sad.

Does Guo Yan know Qiao Zhi’s ranking?

These people must know the result of the first round.

He performed well in the first round of selection, so he ranked 28th in the final score.

Among the 600 chefs, it is already very good to get this result.

However, the moment he announced the results of the first round, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

First place: Qiao Zhi.

If it were anyone, Chen Ming wouldn't matter, why was it Qiao Zhi?

When Gong Fachao saw Chen Ming walking over with the kitchen knife in a daze, he snatched over the kitchen knife fiercely, and angrily shouted: "Don't you know the rules?"

You must focus on using a knife, which is one of the rules of a chef.

Because a knife is not only used as cutting vegetables, it can also hurt people. If you are not focused, it can hurt people and yourself.

Chen Ming was shocked and sweated coldly. If Gong Fachao hadn't stopped him in time, his finger would have been cut open.

"Come to the office with me." Gong Fachao said in dissatisfaction in his eyes and ordered.

Chen Ming was nervous. Gong Fachao was particularly strict with himself and was able to become his apprentice. After a long period of training, his awe of Gong Fachao had penetrated into his bones.

"Sit down." Gong Fachao glanced at the sofa and ordered.

Seeing that Gong Fachao poured him a glass of water, Chen Ming hurriedly followed him, "Master, I'll do it."

Gong Fachao handed the water to Chen Ming and said patiently: "Chen Ming, although you are not the best talent, you are definitely the hardest. This is very similar to me. As my apprentice, you must have firm perseverance."

Chen Ming lowered his head and explained: "I am worried about letting down your hopes."

Gong Fachao said in a deep voice: "No one puts pressure on you. Don't think that you can represent Huaixiang Restaurant. Huaixiang Restaurant can stand firm not by you alone or me, but by the chefs for so many years, who have been constantly innovating on the basis of ensuring the consistency of taste."

Chen Ming gritted his teeth and said regretfully: "I can't compare to Qiao Zhi."

Gong Fachao walked up to Chen Ming, raised his hand, and slapped him hard on the cheek, "Silly thing! Forget I once told you that if you want to be a good chef, do you have to be yourself first?"

Chen Ming apologized in a embarrassing manner: "I'm sorry."

Gong Fachao looked at Chen Ming with a grudge. He had to wake Chen Ming up at this moment, otherwise he would not know what his apprentice's soul would be twisted.

"If you want to become a good chef, you must constantly surpass yourself, and then think of surpassing others." Gong Fachao had no heart to attack Chen Ming.

His level is too great to Qiao Zhi.

The chef industry requires talent. Chen Ming can become the pillar of Huaixiang Restaurant through hard work, but he is absolutely not qualified to become the top chef of Huaixiang Group.

Qiao Zhi may still have many places that are not mature enough now, but he has shown more potential than too many people. As long as he develops normally, he will become the top ones in Huaixiang Group.

Everyone needs to have their own positioning.

If Chen Ming does not know his position, he will easily go wrong on the road ahead.

Gong Fachao suddenly hesitated whether it was correct to ask Chen Ming to participate in the Chef King Championship so early.

Originally, the internal match of the Chef King Championship was just a test for Chen Ming, and Gong Fachao was not optimistic about whether Chen Ming could enter the finals.

But now it seems that Chen Ming should not be allowed to participate from the beginning, because not only is he lacking in strength, but his mentality is also not upright.

...

Huaixiang Group announced the results of the first round of the competition, and it was full of trouble everywhere, especially those scattered WeChat and QQ groups, who were all talking about the results.

"Is there any super dark side to the first place actually obtained by a non-seeded player?"

"There is a Shen Bowu in the judges group where the first place is, and he is recognized as selfless."

"Where did Qiao Zhi jump out? Who brought the apprentice? Why haven't you heard of it?"

"It is said that Huaixiang Group cannot tolerate him. He obtained the entrepreneurial fund with a creativity and contracted a canteen."

"Cafeteria? Can this make money?"

"The key is that canteen has become popular for some reason, and its daily turnover is stable at around 250,000."

"I don't believe it, I'm determined not to believe it."

"It must be bragging. A canteen can make 250,000 yuan in a single-day turnover, which is definitely a joke."

"... Everyone hurry up and check the official website, it seems that an announcement was updated just now."

A screenshot soon appeared in the group:

“Good news:

The second canteen of Qiongjin Vocational and Technical College, a subsidiary of our group, completed a turnover of 7.02 million yuan in November, with a monthly profit of 4.13 million yuan, setting a number of records in the group.

I hope other departments within the group will learn from it and learn more.

Group General Manager.”

A very short good news announcement came quietly but was full of gold.

Huaixiang Group has multiple stores open every month, but a very small number of them will issue commendation orders in the form of the group general manager.

Moreover, the performance of the second canteen is jealous, and many stores have completed half a year's tasks in one month.

The key is this is a canteen.

The location of the canteen is definitely not as good as those located in bustling areas or large shopping malls, but it brings such a huge profit.

Especially those in the chain strategic investment department, seeing this data, I probably feel like jumping into the river.

After working hard and making various efforts, they all demonstrated the rationality of the new store construction address, but were slapped in the face by the success of the second canteen.

The group fell silent in an instant, and the official website's notice slapped the doubters in the face.

Although the second canteen's turnover did not exceed the group's monthly business record, the investment amount was small.

The industry investment ratio reached an astonishing 600%, and the previous one million investment made it easy to recover the capital in one month.

Now 50% of the restaurants under Huaixiang Group make profits, 30% of the restaurants maintain balance of income and expenditure, and 20% of the restaurants suffer losses, so the first month of the second canteen is enough to stand out.

Even if the old chefs in the group are famous, they may not be able to achieve such amazing results.
