Chapter 256: Promotion, Chef

After parking the bicycle in the carport, Wang Jianye and his apprentice Chen Xiaoyang went into the kitchen together.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day when Fengze Garden was about to close for holiday, Wang Jianye went to attend a state banquet and did not come to work at Fengze Garden.

Fengze Garden organized a general cleaning, cleaning Fengze Garden thoroughly inside and out, especially the kitchen and farmland.

Wang Jianye entered the familiar kitchen and indeed felt it was much cleaner than before. The pots and pans, various seasonings, chopping boards, vegetable racks, stoves, etc. were all arranged very neatly, which showed that a lot of effort had been put into it.

"Master Wang is here."

"Happy New Year, Master Wang."

"Master Wang, you seem to have gained weight after the Chinese New Year."

"..."

When the chefs in the kitchen saw Wang Jianye coming, they were very enthusiastic.

This is how the kitchen is. The better your cooking skills are, the higher your status will be.

Wang Jianye has already participated in the preparation of state banquets, so his status has surpassed that of the head chef and reached the level of the sitting chef.

Wang Jianye had just arrived at the lounge and hadn't even had his tea when Zhou Qingde found him and greeted him with a smile:
"Master Wang, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Master Zhou. I see you look good. Is there anything good going on?"

"Oh, I don't have any happy event. But you, Master Wang, will have a happy event soon."

Wang Jianye knew that Zhou Qingde was talking about his upcoming promotion from head chef to head chef.

Since he participated in the preparation of the state banquet, he was qualified for promotion, and it would definitely convince so many chefs in the kitchen.

This is the highest honor and achievement for a chef, and Wang Jianye has done it.

When it was time to go to work, almost everyone from the reception staff in the front hall to the chefs in the kitchen of Fengze Garden were present.

Manager Zheng Hao came over to inform everyone to gather at the gate of Fengze Garden and stand in rows according to their status.

Wang Jianye naturally stood in the first row, standing in the same row with the manager and Zhou Qingde.

Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengzeyuan, stood in front of everyone and gave a passionate summary.

It's about how much money we earned last year and what our goal is for this year, to encourage everyone to keep up the good work and create greater success together, etc.

Then Jiang Rongqing had people light firecrackers and fireworks to celebrate the grand opening.

After everyone left, Jiang Rongqing asked Wang Jianye to follow him to the office.

After Wang Jianye arrived, Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengze Garden, handed him a prepared contract:

"Master Wang, I promised you before the New Year that as long as you prepare the state banquet, I will officially promote you to the position of chef after the New Year.

This is the contract I drafted. Master Wang, please take a look at it. If you are not satisfied with it, please let us know and we will improve it.
If you think it's okay, let's sign it."

Wang Jianye nodded and carefully studied the contract in his hand.

The contract stated Wang Jianye's salary, status, length of service and responsibilities...

The key point here is the salary. Wang Jianye’s basic salary has been increased to 100 yuan.

In addition, there is a bonus of half the salary every month, and a position subsidy of ten yuan for being the chef.

Not counting the commission from his signature dishes, he can earn a minimum of around 160 yuan per month.

If you add in the commission he gets from his signature dishes, it’s almost three hundred yuan, which is definitely a super high salary in this day and age.

After Wang Jianye carefully read all the terms in the contract and felt that there were no problems, he took a pen and signed his name.

Jiang Rongqing, the owner of Fengze Garden, was very happy and came forward to shake hands with Wang Jianye:

"Congratulations, Master Wang. From now on, you will be our head chef. The development of Fengze Garden will depend on you."

"Thank you boss, I will continue to work hard."

After listening to Jiang Rongqing's few words of encouragement and emotion, Wang Jianye left the office and returned to the lounge in the back kitchen.

"Congratulations, Master Wang. You are now the head chef of our Fengze Garden!" "Congratulations, Master Wang, on your promotion!"

"You have been promoted twice in just three months. Master Wang, your progress is unprecedented and will never be repeated!"

"With you, Master Wang, in charge of our Fengze Garden, our Fengze Garden will surely become even more popular, and everyone's income will surely reach a new level!"

……

Thanks to Zhou Qingde's publicity, the head chef, the second chef, the third chef and the apprentices in the kitchen all knew that Wang Jianye had been promoted to the head chef.

The look he gave her was full of envy and admiration.

Because this not only represents higher income and a higher status in the kitchen, it also represents a symbol.

It is a great honor to be recognized by the guests and invited to prepare the state banquet.

"Our master is so amazing!"

"In the entire city of Beijing, there is no chef with more talent than our chef."

"We are so lucky to have him as our master."

"I have to learn from my master and prepare state banquets in the future."

"..."

Wang Jianye's disciples looked at him with eager eyes. Each of them wanted to become such an outstanding person.

Chai Wenshan in the crowd was very proud. Wang Jianye was his apprentice, so of course he, as the master, benefited from it.

"Master Sun, my apprentice has been promoted to head chef. What do you think about this?"

"How? Of course I saw it with my eyes."

Sun Qu responded unhappily.

He knew that Chai Wenshan had to squeeze him at this time, otherwise it would not be in line with his character.

But Sun Qu had already gotten used to it.

During this period, Wang Jianye launched signature dishes, making Fengze Garden popular. He also participated in the preparation of state banquets and was promoted to head chef.

Chai Wenshan shows off to him all day long, and he is already numb.

"You said this person still has to believe in fate,
Fortunately, Wang Jianye did not take you as his master, otherwise he might not have achieved what he has now. "

Chai Wenshan sighed: "At the beginning, Wang Jianye's talent was average. If it were you, you would definitely give up and stop caring about Wang Jianye.
No matter how talented Wang Jianye is, he may not be able to fully display his talent here.
It is only because I never gave up on him that he has been able to make the progress he has today."

Sun Qu did not refute.

He felt very regretful in his heart. Compared with Wang Jianye, his beloved disciple Cao Xiaodong was far inferior.

If only he could have accepted Wang Jianye as his apprentice at the beginning, but of course he was just thinking about it.

When Wang Jianye was introduced by a mentor, he entered Fengze Garden to become a disciple.

The first person to become his disciple was Liu Shengbing, and the second person to become his disciple was Chai Wenshan, who accepted him as his disciple.

There is nothing to do with Sun Qu here at all.

Sun Qu was feeling sad.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Liu Shengbing with an envious look on his face not far away.

Thinking about how when Wang Jianye came to become his disciple, the first person he worshipped was him, but he did not accept Wang Jianye as his disciple, thus missing out on such a good talent.

Sun Qu felt much more balanced.

Everything is afraid of comparison.

Facing the congratulations from many masters, Wang Jianye smiled calmly and said:

“In the new year, let us encourage each other and work together to take Fengze Garden to a higher level…”
