The chef has a bad throat due to long-term smell of cooking fumes and often coughs.

Feng Man bought him Pang Dahai with his own money, and made him a large teapot every morning. The chef enjoyed it and praised Feng Man for his ability, and even considered accepting him as his apprentice.

But Feng Man couldn't wait for this day. He wanted to surpass the chef and become the next famous chef.

So I secretly put laxatives into the chef's fat sea, which made the chef run to the toilet all the time that day. His body was so exhausted that he couldn't hold a spoon and couldn't cook at all, so he had to go home to rest.

Without a chef, diners who are accustomed to his food will definitely not buy it.

When the boss was so anxious that he was about to close down the business, Feng Man volunteered that he wanted to give it a try.

He also cooked a special dish of the chef in public for the boss to taste.

It doesn't matter if you try it. The boss's taste is the same as the chef's. He immediately agreed and let Feng Man temporarily replace the chef and serve as the main cook.

Feng Man worked hard all day, but none of the diners found fault with the food and said the food tasted much better than before.

As a result, Feng Man squeezed out the chef and officially became the head of the small restaurant.

Five years later, he used his sharp tongue to marry the boss's only daughter. When the boss retired in old age, he took over the small restaurant.

Later, the Jiayang Small Restaurant became the Jiayang Grand Restaurant, and then the Jiayang Grand Hotel. In just a dozen years, Feng Man became the boss of a wealthy party.

During the years when real estate was booming, he relied on his unique vision to invest in the real estate industry and made a lot of money.

The business grew bigger and bigger, and the vision became more and more long-term. Finally, several companies under its name were merged together to form Jiayang Group.

He has appointed himself as chairman and general manager. He has great power and has the final say over the entire group.

Tonight, he entertained Lu Dingfang and Xing Dong in the club.

There are only six dishes for three people, and they are not big fish or meat, and there are no tricks.

Don't underestimate these. The dishes may look ordinary, but they are exquisite.

A dish of cabbage with sauce, just the juice is very complicated. First, I used an old hen to make the soup, then added the best sea cucumber and abalone, and it took about ten hours to cook.

Pour it on top of the cabbage, and the fragrance will immediately hit your nostrils, stimulating your taste buds and stimulating your appetite.

Lu Dingfang took a bite and gave thumbs up repeatedly, "The level of your club chef is getting higher and higher, and it is even higher than the level of the special chef in the provincial capital hotel."

Xing Dong was also full of praise. One chopstick was not enough, so he took another chopstick and tasted it carefully, but he still couldn't finish it.

Feng Manze said with a smile: "To be honest with the two leaders, I cooked this dish myself. From selecting the ingredients to making the soup to the final process, no outsiders were involved in the whole process. I completed it by myself."

"

"Oh!" Lu Dingfang twitched his eyebrows, picked up the chopsticks, took another bite and said, "It's rare that Boss Feng cooks it himself. The taste is indeed extraordinary. I'm really in luck tonight."

Xing Dong also said: "I heard County Magistrate Shen mention it before that your boss Feng's cooking skills are truly well-deserved. Lao Lu and we are very lucky."

Feng Man was so smart, couldn't he hear the obvious sourness in Xing Dong's words, and immediately explained: "Both leaders, please don't find fault. The reason I don't cook is because I haven't touched a horse spoon for a long time, and my skills have been ruined. No,

I dare to show my embarrassment. I cooked vegetables for County Magistrate Shen that time because I lost a bet and had no choice. But the reason why I serve this cabbage with sauce tonight is because it has a reputation."

Lu Dingfang and Xing Dong looked at each other and asked what their names were?

"My old mother passed away, and you both sent sacrifices. I am very grateful." He took out two white paper envelopes from the handbag beside him and pushed them in front of Lu Dingfang and Xing Dong respectively.

"This is a return gift for you two. I hope you will accept it." Feng Man said with full sincerity.

There is indeed a local custom of returning gifts. After the funeral, the bereaved family will give varying amounts of money to distinguished guests.

"Boss Feng is too polite, how can you be so embarrassed?" Lu Dingfang said, his hand naturally placed on the envelope, feeling the hard card.

Xing Dong also followed suit and felt with his fingers that it was a bank card.

The two of them pretended to decline, and of course Feng Man couldn't take it back. After a few sincere requests, Lu and Xing put the envelope into their pockets.

Xing Dong said: "Well, that day , Lao Lu and I were going there. Who knows what Li Yuanlang was up to. He insisted on having a meeting and came to work on site. By chance, he saw a police car clearing the way for your family's funeral convoy. Now he can

Li Benqing’s face is completely humiliated.”

Lu Dingfang waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "So what if you see it? Filial piety comes first, and Boss Feng is fulfilling his filial piety by sending his old mother on her last journey. His surname is Li, and he didn't jump out of the cracks in the rocks.

Parents?"

"This County Magistrate Li is not as approachable as County Magistrate Shen. He attacks the traffic police team as soon as he comes. Isn't this just a show of embarrassment to Deputy County Magistrate Li!"

Feng Man's words hit Lu Dingfang's lungs, and he immediately snorted: "Embarrassing, is there anything more embarrassing than him molesting a hotel maid?"

Xing Dong said sourly: "So what if it is indecent? He has not yet been reinstated. Even the municipal party committee is supporting him. Look at what Jiang Mingxiao said at the meeting, which is obviously a warning."

Feng Man interjected and asked: "This County Magistrate Li seems to be not simple. Does he have any special background?"

Lu Dingfang lit a cigarette and said slowly and calmly while smoking: "Isn't he Shui Qingzhang's uncle? It's nothing special."

Shui Qingzhang?

Feng Man was concerned about current affairs and also knew the names of provincial party committee leaders.

That is based on the names of the Provincial Party Committee Secretary and the Provincial Governor. As for other people, very little is known.

However, Xing Dong was within the system after all and had extensive knowledge, so he immediately thought of who it was.

He hurriedly asked: "Lao Lu, are you talking about Shui Qingzhang, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Yunyang Municipal Party Committee?"

"Yeah." Lu Dingfang narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Good guy, not only Xing Dong was surprised, but even Feng Man was so shocked that he opened his mouth so much that it was no problem to stuff a salted duck egg in.

No wonder, since the matter between Li Yuanlang and Xiaojiao has not yet been figured out, he was able to escape unscathed and come back as if nothing was wrong, and was supported by the municipal party committee. Dare there be someone above the lover's house.

Feng Man took a breath, and he had a new understanding of County Magistrate Li, whom he only heard of by name but not by face.

Xing Dong, who was about to pick up the food, suddenly stopped his chopsticks in mid-air and asked Lu Dingfang out of memory: "I heard that Shui Qingzhang is competing for the position of deputy secretary. Is this reliable?"

Lu Dingfang responded casually: "Indeed, there is no difference between him and my old uncle. It's hard to say who will win in the end."

"Your old uncle?"

Lu Dingfang pretended to be mysterious and said: "Uncle, my father's brothers are all from the same ancestor, so keep a low profile. Come, drink and drink." Then he picked up the wine glass and made some gestures.

The more he said this, the more Xing Dong and Feng Man looked at each other with admiration.

I can't blame Lu Dingfang for daring to confront Li Yuanlang at the meeting. It turns out that his background is not bad either, and Lu Rongfu's status in the province is even slightly higher than Shui Qingzhang's.

In fact, how did they know that, apart from the fact that Lu Rongfu and Lu Dingfang were both named Lu, their blood relationship was almost beyond the atmosphere.

The three of them exchanged cups and drank to their heart's content, when Feng Man suddenly received a notice from Chang Ming that Li Yuanlang would come to Jiayang Group for inspection tomorrow and asked Feng Man to prepare in advance.

Feng Man didn't dare to neglect, he took out his mobile phone and made arrangements to prepare to receive Li Yuanlang.

However, Lu Dingfang raised his hand to stop him and said disapprovingly: "It's no big deal. Li Yuanlang is here. Just send a vice president to deal with it. Come on, let's continue drinking."

“Yes!”

If you are not convinced, after dinner, I will play eight rounds with County Magistrate Lu. I don’t believe that Magistrate Lu is so lucky and always wins."

Lu Dingfang laughed heartily, "You Xingdong, you don't accept it, right? We will see the outcome at the poker table later, and I will leave even your pants behind if you lose."

Lu Dingfang is famous for his love of playing cards. The key is that he loses less and wins more.

Even a smart person like Feng Man loses big every time. In fact, everyone knows that Feng Man is deliberately letting things go.

However, anyone can lose, but not everyone can do it in a way that makes losing feel natural.
