Lu Yuan took Peng Jiahe home, thinking that after today's showdown with Jiang Haokun, he would definitely not help Peng Jiahe find a school again, so Lu Yuan was going to take Peng Jiahe to the restaurant's kitchen.
Peng Jiahe wanted to resist, but Lu Yuan was very tough. He had to choose between going to school or learning to cook.
In the end, Peng Jiahe had no choice but to learn cooking, but she didn't want Lu Yuan to teach her.
Lu Yuan took Peng Jiahe with him to work and let her get familiar with kitchen work first, starting with the simplest things.
Lu Yuan asked Cai Mingjun, a young man from the restaurant's back cook, to temporarily take Peng Jiahe with him.
As a restaurant manager, Jiang Lai doesn't worry too much about the kitchen. He focuses more on business.
She wants to prove herself to her parents, so she naturally has to achieve results. As her boyfriend, Wang Gang will naturally take care of the restaurant business and even help him with suggestions.
Although Lu Yuan has lost his sense of taste, his craftsmanship is still there. With him in the kitchen, there is no need to worry about the quality of the dishes, but it is difficult to come up with any innovative dishes, so he can only rely on his old roots.
Wang Gang helped Lu Yuan create several innovative dishes to attract attention and increase the reputation of the restaurant.
Originally, Lu Yuan was skeptical about Wang Gang's cooking skills, but after Peng Jiahe tasted several innovative dishes, he had to admit that Wang Gang was not inferior to him in terms of cooking skills.
Lu Yuan used to be a bit arrogant about his talent, but now he is completely honest and even sometimes asks Wang Gang for cooking tips.
After the restaurant's business hours are over, Lu Yuan will send the people in the kitchen away, and Wang Gang will come over to exchange cooking skills with him.
After he is busy with the kitchen, Wang Gang will also play some office temptations with Jiang Lai to enhance their relationship.
Jiang Lai had long discovered that there was a problem with the restaurant's accounts. The manager had enriched his own pockets by passing off inferior wine as good quality and purchased a batch of mediocre red wine at a high price.
Jiang Lai originally wanted to fire the manager or even call the police to arrest him, but Wang Gang stopped him.
"Instead of firing people and causing panic among the restaurant employees, why not hold the manager's hand and use it as a blackmail to control the entire restaurant." Wang Gang pressed Jiang Lai on the chair and squeezed her shoulders while suggesting
road:
"When you take office as a new official, you just fire the chef and then deal with the manager. It will be difficult to win people's hearts and it will be detrimental to management."
Jiang Lai said angrily: "But the manager belongs to Jiang Haokun, and he always treats me in secret."
Wang Gang slowly began to move his hand down and said, "That's not a good idea. It would be more beneficial to you to use the manager to embezzle evidence and force him to be a double agent."
The more Jiang Lai listened, the more sense it made. In addition, Wang Gang pressed his hand lower and lower, and the atmosphere in the office became increasingly ambiguous.
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If you fire this manager, can you ensure that the next one will be honest? Or is it not the person Jiang Haokun put in? It is better to use the old than to use the new. The most important thing is to be easy to control."
Jiang Lai leaned on Wang Gang's chest, his cheeks flushed, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.
"I listen to you."
Wang Gang saw that the fire was almost done and was about to unbutton Jiang Lai's shirt when there was a knock on her office door.
Jiang Lai was startled, quickly packed his clothes and breathed calmly.
Wang Gang secretly cried out that it was a pity, but he could only wave his hand and walked to the opposite side of Jiang Lai.
"Please come in." Jiang Lai took a deep breath and said.
The office door opened, and Lu Yuan ran in with a sullen look on his face.
"Boss, Mr. Chen, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Jiang Lai kept a straight face and maintained his dignity as the boss, and said: "Chef Lu, you haven't gotten off work so late!"
Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I just developed a new dish and I would like to ask Mr. Chen for advice."
Wang Gang said impatiently: "Can't we wait until tomorrow to try the dishes?"
Lu Yuan chuckled and said, "I still have some things I want to ask Mr. Chen."
Seeing that Lu Yuan had something serious to do, Jiang Lai couldn't say anything else, so he advised Wang Gang: "You go try the food first! I still have some documents to deal with."
"Okay, let's go home together later." Wang Gang sighed, got up and walked out of the office with Lu Yuan.
When he came to the kitchen, Lu Yuan couldn't wait to take out a soup and let Wang Gang taste it.
"Peng Jiahe has tried this old duck soup. She said it tastes good, but it always misses something."
Wang just took a sip of the soup and almost knew what the problem was.
"You want to use Chinese old duck soup, incorporate Western elements, and add some Western seasonings, but you have no sense of taste, so you can't control the taste well." Wang Gang suggested:
"Replace the mint leaves, it will take away the flavor a bit. Try using other seasonings."
Lu Yuan took out his notebook and wrote down Wang Gang's opinions, appearing extremely serious.
Wang Gang had no secrets and told Lu Yuan any creative ideas he had.
"Mr. Chen, you said before that you could cure my tongue. Is that true?" Lu Yuan stopped writing and asked.
"Your loss of taste is ultimately a psychological problem, not a physical problem. The problem is still with Gan Jing. As long as you catch up with Gan Jing again, your taste will naturally recover."
In the TV series, Lu Yuan's sense of taste completely recovered after he put down Gan Jing. It was obviously a psychological problem.
Wang Gang did the opposite and asked Lu Yuan to catch up with Gan Jing again, but the effect was the same.
"Since Gan Jing found out what Jiang Haokun did to me, there has been no news these days. What does she mean?" Lu Yuan said distressedly:
"Also, Mr. Chen, how do you know that it was Jiang Haokun who put me in jail?"
Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said: "You told me that when you started smuggling, you only told one person, Jiang Haokun, and after you were imprisoned, Jiang Haokun had the opportunity to get close to Gan Jing, and he was the biggest beneficiary.
Have you never doubted him in all these years?"
Lu Yuan sighed and said, "I always thought it was because I was unlucky. I was caught smuggling the first time. I never suspected Jiang Haokun at all."
"When I asked you to deceive Jiang Haokun in front of Gan Jing, I was betting that he was guilty of being a thief." Wang Gang said frankly: "Actually, I have no evidence."
Lu Yuan asked again: "Then what should I do next? Will Gan Jing break up with Jiang Haokun?"
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "Don't expect to break up Jiang Haokun and Gan Jing just by relying on these."
"Ah?" Lu Yuan said in surprise: "Why, doesn't Gan Jing already know who Jiang Haokun is? Could she still forgive Jiang Haokun!"
Wang Gang sneered: "You still think that Gan Jing is as pure as a white lotus!"
Lu Yuan frowned and said: "Gan Jing is not a person who is greedy for money. When we were in the United States, we had nothing and no food to eat. Why didn't she accompany me through it?"
"One moment, another moment." Wang Gang just smiled and said, "Let's not talk about people changing. Even Gan Jing back then, if there was nothing she could do, do you think she would accompany you to endure hardships."
"Impossible, Gan Jing is not that kind of person." Lu Yuan never believed that Gan Jing was a vain person.
?In his mind, Gan Jing is a pure goddess.
"It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality." Wang Gang said: "Jiang Haokun is the crown prince of the Jiang Group anyway. Just with this halo, countless women will pounce on him, and Gan Jing will not
exception."
"Just watch! After a while, Jiang Haokun coaxes Gan Jing, and they will reconcile as before. You still have no chance."
Lu Yuan's face showed a look of struggle.
Wang Gang patted him on the shoulder and said, "In just a few days, you will soon be able to clearly see Gan Jing's character."
Lu Yuan was sent home by Wang Gang. Wang Gang did not leave the kitchen immediately. Instead, he shouted to the warehouse behind: "How long do you want to hide? Come out!"
After a few seconds, Peng Jiahe reluctantly walked out of the warehouse, with Cai Mingjun beside him.
