Chapter 78 The Boss is Ecstatic
Meanwhile on the other side.

Zhou Qingde came to the manager's office.

Zheng Hao was drinking tea in the room. When he saw him coming to see him, he put down the enamel pot in his hand and asked, "Master Zhou, what do you want?"

"There's good news."

"What good news?"

Upon hearing these three words, Zheng Hao immediately became interested. "Is this the good news about the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen chef this afternoon?"

Zhou Qingde nodded.

Last year, seven people took the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master, but only two of them passed, which is less than half. Zheng Hao was embarrassed to report such a result to his boss.

In Zheng Hao's opinion, the good things Zhou Qingde said about the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master must have meant that several people passed the assessment and were promoted to the second kitchen master.

So Zheng Hao couldn't wait to urge: "Tell me quickly, how many people have passed the assessment? Are they halfway through?"

“Only two people passed the test.”

When he heard that only two people passed the test, Zheng Hao suddenly felt a little disappointed. "Only two people passed the test. How can there be any good news?"

"Among the two people who passed the assessment, one was Wang Jianye."

Zhou Qingde said seriously.

Zheng Hao asked in confusion: "Wang Jianye? I remember there was only one person named Wang Jianye in the kitchen..."

"Yes, that's him."

"Ah? But didn't he just pass the apprentice grading test this morning? How come he passed the test to be promoted to the second stove master?"

Zheng Hao frowned tightly.

I didn’t understand Zhou Qingde’s words for a moment.

Zhou Qingde took a deep breath and explained, "Manager Zheng, I'm not kidding. This is indeed true. Wang Jianye took the apprentice grading test this morning and took the test for promotion to the second kitchen master this afternoon. And... he passed the test smoothly and was promoted to the second kitchen master."

Zheng Hao was stunned when he heard Zhou Qingde's words.

What's going on? What's going on?!

An apprentice, after taking the apprentice grading assessment in the morning, immediately took the assessment for promotion to second kitchen master in the afternoon and passed it successfully.

how did you do that?
Zheng Hao couldn't imagine it.

It takes a great talent to be able to pass the assessment and be promoted to the second stove master during the three-year apprenticeship period.

Zheng Hao remembered that in the twenty years since Fengzeyuan opened, only Master Chef Zhou Qingde had such talent and was able to accomplish this.

However, he had not experienced it personally. When Zhou Qingde made a stunning debut in the grading assessment, he had not yet started working at Fengze Garden.

"Wait, that's not right. I remember Wang Jianye's talent only improved in the last week, right? In such a short time, he's ready to be promoted to the second stove?"

Zheng Hao asked in surprise.

Zhou Qingde nodded seriously and talked carefully about Wang Jianye's performance in the assessment.

After hearing this, Zheng Hao swallowed his saliva and said, "If that's the case... Wang Jianye really only took a week to prepare for the promotion to the Second Kitchen. This... I feel that his talent is even greater than yours, Master Zhou."

"Based on his current talent, he is indeed stronger than me."

Zhou Qingde told the truth and admitted it generously.

Zheng Hao’s talent is even stronger than Master Zhou’s, and even more unimaginable.

"Master Zhou, is what you said true?"

Zheng Hao asked cautiously.

Zhou Qingde nodded seriously, not joking at all, "It's true. Several of us chefs have witnessed it with our own eyes. Wang Jianye did everything perfectly, from drawing lots at the beginning, to cooking, to our judges' scoring."

"hiss."

Zheng Hao took a deep breath and became excited.

"Let's go, let's go tell the boss this good news."

...Zhou Qingde followed Zheng Hao to the boss's office.

Jiang Rongqing saw that the two men came once in the morning and again in the afternoon, so he asked curiously, "What's going on?"

"Boss, I have good news for you. Wang Jianye has passed the assessment."

Zheng Hao walked forward excitedly and said.

Jiang Rongqing was puzzled. "I know about this. You came to tell me about it this morning."

"It's not about what happened this morning. It's about the assessment this afternoon. Wang Jianye passed it."

"This afternoon? Are you talking about the assessment for promotion to Second Kitchen Master?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. Wang Jianye passed this assessment."

Zheng Hao said hurriedly.

"what?"

Jiang Rongqing was stunned when he heard the news.

It was the same reaction as Zheng Hao when he heard this just now. What is going on?
Why did Wang Jianye take the assessment for promotion to the second kitchen master in the afternoon? Didn't he just take the apprentice grading assessment in the morning?
"Boss, this is true. Wang Jianye took the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen chef this afternoon and passed it successfully. He is really amazing. Apart from him, the other eight people who took the assessment to be promoted to the second kitchen chef have all worked for more than two to three years. Among them, only one person passed the assessment. He is no match for Wang Jianye at all."

Zheng Hao told Zhou Qingde the news he had heard from him.

"Oh yeah, okay, okay."

Jiang Rongqing believed that this was true and walked around the room excitedly.

"Congratulations, boss. Congratulations, boss. We have a new talented chef at Fengze Garden. Fengze Garden will surely become more and more prosperous in the future."

Zheng Hao said cheerfully.

Jiang Rongqing turned around and asked with a smile: "Hey, what you said sounds familiar. I remember you told me that this morning."

"Yes, boss. I told you about Wang Jianye this morning. I hope I can tell you good news like this every day."

"Hahaha."

Jiang Rongqing laughed happily and liked Zheng Hao even more.

He walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, then stopped and said, "Well, go get Wang Jianye... Forget it, let's go over there."

"Hey boss, I'll show you the way."

Zheng Hao was particularly proactive. He walked in front of Jiang Rongqing, opening the door for him and leading the way.

Zhou Qingde followed behind, and the group came to the back kitchen.

The kitchen was particularly lively at this moment. Everyone was discussing how well Wang Jianye had performed in the assessment just now and how talented he was.

Jiang Rongqing became happier and happier as he listened along the way.

When everyone noticed Jiang Rongqing coming, they were very surprised and took the initiative to make way for him.

"The boss rarely comes to the kitchen. Why did he come today?"

"What else could it be? It must be related to Master Wang."

"I think so. After all, Master Wang performed so well. The boss must be very happy."

"Tsk, I'm so envious. I've been working at Fengzeyuan for three years, but the boss has never come to the kitchen to look for me."

"..."

Wang Jianye was still being talked to by Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Chai Wenshan and others.

Zheng Haotou took a few steps and waved to Wang Jianye.

After seeing this, Wang Jianye squeezed out of the crowd and came to Jiang Rongqing.

"Master Wang, I heard that you also took part in the assessment for promotion to the Second Kitchen this afternoon?"
