After Wang Jianye left the boss' office at Fengze Garden, Jiang Qinfeng gritted his teeth angrily:
(Yi) "How despicable! They just left without saying anything. What do they think of our Fengze Garden?"

"You, Wang Jianye, were trained in our Fengze Garden. Your disciples were also trained in our Fengze Garden. We gave you so many resources and benefits, and you just leave like that?"

(ノ｀Д)ノ Jiang Qinfeng was particularly angry. It would have been fine if Wang Jianye left alone, but he also wanted to take his apprentices with him. In this way, could Fengze Garden still continue to operate?
He also said that the several students arranged for him by Fengze Garden had all achieved academic success and reached the level of head chefs, and could stabilize the operation of Fengze Garden.

Ah, how could any of them be capable of doing things on their own? How could any of them have the skills of you and your disciples?

Bang! Jiang Qinfeng slammed the table. His father passed Fengzeyuan down to him. Was this fifty-year-old store going to go bankrupt in his hands?

Jiang Qinfeng was unwilling to give in, so he clenched his fists and walked around the room.

They have to find a way to keep Wang Jianye and his apprentices, otherwise their Fengzeyuan will probably lose its position as the ceiling of Shandong cuisine in Beijing in an instant.

The current manager of Fengze Garden is named Zhang Mingsheng. He has worked in Fengze Garden for five or six years and was a student of Zheng Hao, the former manager of Fengze Garden.

Zhang Mingsheng studied under Zheng Hao for several years and learned the experience of managing a hotel, so after Zheng Hao retired, he took over his job.

Zhang Mingsheng's office was right next door, and Jiang Qinfeng went there in person to find him.

"Manager Zhang, our Fengze Garden is going to be ruined."

Jiang Qinfeng pushed the door open angrily and walked in, startling Zhang Mingsheng who was working. "Boss Jiang, what's going on? Sit down and talk."

"Why should I sit here? Master Wang from Fengze Garden is leaving!"

Anxious Jiang Qinfeng couldn't sit still at all.

Zhang Mingsheng stood up from his seat and said in shock, "Ah? Is this true? Master Wang is leaving Fengze Garden?"

Jiang Qinfeng sighed, "Not only that, his apprentices are also going with him. The ten head chefs and the chef who handles the white case are all going... Otherwise, how could I be so anxious and angry!"

"Mr. Jiang, please don't worry."

Zhang Mingsheng poured him a cup of tea: "Do you know why Master Wang left?"

"What else can a cook do? Open a restaurant."

Jiang Qinfeng sat on the sofa beside him with a snort of anger. "Master Wang has been in our Fengze Garden for more than 20 years, and Fengze Garden has never wronged him. How can he leave?"

Not only is Wang Jianye leaving, he is also planning to open a restaurant in Sijiu City to compete with Fengzeyuan. This is what Jiang Qinfeng is worried about.

As Jiang Rongqing's son, Jiang Qinfeng realized how useful the title of Master Wang was when he followed Jiang Rongqing to learn how to manage a restaurant.

It’s simply a money tree!
As long as Wang Jianye is still there at Fengze Garden, Fengze Garden will continue to be popular and make a lot of money.

Jiang Qinfeng was of course reluctant to see Wang Jianye leave.

As the manager of Fengze Garden, Zhang Mingsheng, who has known Jiang Qinfeng since childhood, had to think of ways and give advice to Jiang Qinfeng at this time.

After a moment's silence, Zhang Mingsheng consoled him, "Boss Jiang, since ancient times, few chefs have been able to open successful restaurants. Master Wang's cooking skills are good, but it's another matter if he is allowed to open a restaurant. Perhaps it won't work." Jiang Qinfeng snorted, "Whether his restaurant is successful or not is none of my business. I only care whether he can stay in Fengze Garden and work for us, and whether he can serve as the golden signboard of Fengze Garden and attract a large number of customers to our Fengze Garden. You quickly think of a way for me. We have to keep Master Wang here!"

Jiang Qinfeng said the last sentence "stay" in a decisive tone.

The disciple is better than his father. He is more decisive than his father Jiang Rongqing, and no one can change what he has made up his mind.

Zhang Mingsheng frowned, thought again and again, and finally said: "Boss Jiang, is there any room for manipulation in the contract signed between Fengzeyuan and Master Wang? If Wang Jianye wants to leave, can we sue him for a large sum of liquidated damages to threaten him?"

Jiang Qinfeng shook his head: "If there is, can I not use it? But there is none!

When my father signed the contract with Master Wang, he was too kind. The contract he signed with Master Wang was too favorable to Master Wang. He didn't dig any traps for Master Wang.

As a result, Master Wang is leaving now, and I have no way to deal with it."

As he spoke, Jiang Qinfeng was full of dissatisfaction with Jiang Rongqing.

If it was the contract he signed with Wang Jianye back then, he would definitely be able to control Wang Jianye tightly.

Huh? Still want to escape? Stay!

Zhang Mingsheng racked his brains and finally came up with a solution: "Since the contract can't restrict Master Wang, then we can only play the emotional card."

Jiang Qinfeng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what should we do?"

Zhang Mingsheng explained: "Master Wang has been in our Fengze Garden for more than 20 years. We have been together day and night, so he must have some feelings for people and things.

My idea was to mobilize the people in Fengze Garden and beg Master Wang not to leave but to stay here.
Of course, Master Wang may still leave in the end.
But at least we can't let him take all the disciples away. We have to keep most of them. This way, our Fengze Garden can survive.

After all, Master Wang is just a golden signboard for Fengze Garden. He is used to attract a large number of customers. The specific cooking matters are handled by his apprentices, and Master Wang basically does not make any moves.
As long as we keep a few more of Master Wang’s apprentices, such as Master Chen and Master Cheng, our Fengze Garden will continue to be popular.”

Jiang Qinfeng's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. He asked for a high price and then paid it back. On the surface, he was begging Master Wang to stay, but in fact, he was asking Master Wang not to take so many apprentices with him. As long as Master Wang softened his heart and kept a few apprentices, this thing would be done."

Jiang Qinfeng thought this was an easy task and immediately arranged for Zhang Mingsheng to do it.

Zhang Mingsheng took over the job and talked to the old employees in Fengze Garden one by one, mobilizing them to persuade Wang Jianye to stay.

In the lounge, there was a creaking sound, and Zhou Qingde pushed the door open and walked in: "Master Wang, I heard that you are leaving Fengze Garden?"

Wang Jianye was drinking tea and reading the newspaper to learn about the latest political information. "Yes, I plan to leave here in a while and start my own business."

Wang Jianye turned the chair around, smiled and asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "I want to see different scenery. I'm tired of staying in one place for too long."

Zhou Qingde has been the head chef of Fengze Garden for many years. Even though Master Wang's apprentices are better than him in cooking skills, they are still under his jurisdiction and there has been no change.

The reason is that Jiang Rongqing is worried.

After all, most of the chefs in the kitchen are Wang Jianye's apprentices. If the head chef in the kitchen is replaced by Wang Jianye's apprentice, then I'm afraid Wang Jianye will have the final say in the entire kitchen. (End of this chapter)
