Du Shaojie had guessed the other party's identity before. After hearing what Wu Dazhu said, he smiled and said, "Then let him in."

Wu Dazhui walked to the door and greeted him, and then Wu Chenggang followed his father in and stood aside obediently.

"Please sit down, Old Wu. What do you want to talk to me about?"

Du Shaojie didn't have so many strict rules here. He asked the family of three to sit down and then asked a question.

The reason why he came here today was because he received a call from Wu Dazhui, saying that he wanted to discuss something with him.

It just so happened that he was a bit bored these two days, so he asked Ye Weiming and others to come fishing in the afternoon and find out what Wu Dazhu was doing.

"Boss, it's like this. My wife and I are both old, and we are not capable of many things. My eldest son has been to college, and I want him to train with me for two years to see if he can take over my job in the future."

Wu Dazhui and Du Shaojie have a good relationship, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly expressed his thoughts.

After all, he has shares in the Fish Restaurant, so this request would not seem out of place.

Du Shaojie smiled and listened to what the other party said, then he looked at Wu Chenggang carefully.

The young man is of medium build and looks very energetic. At first glance, you can tell that he is the kind of person with a light in his eyes.

"Xiao Wu, have you ever been involved in the catering industry before?"

"Boss Du, when I was in college, I worked in a restaurant almost every winter and summer vacation, so I am not unfamiliar with the catering industry."

Wu Chenggang seemed a little nervous, but spoke very logically.

He then explained that he has always loved cooking, and even though his family was not short of money, he still worked in a restaurant during business hours based on his interest.

"What did you study in college?"

"I studied mechanics, but I don't want to work in a factory. I like to work in the catering industry."

"It seems that you didn't choose the right major, haha. Xiao Wu, come on, cook two dishes for me to see. I want to see what you have learned from working in a restaurant."

Du Shaojie does not reject Wu Dazhu's recommendation of his son to take over, but the prerequisite is that the other party has the ability to do so.

After all, he is the major shareholder of [Fish Restaurant], and it is impossible for him to let a scumbag manage the company.

He asked Wu Chenggang to cook not to test his cooking skills, but to see what he had learned in his spare time over the years.

From the small details, we can clearly tell whether Wu Chenggang is bragging or really likes this line of work.

Wu Dazhu and his wife wanted to say something, but in the end they kept silent. They knew their son had learned something while working, but they couldn't explain what it was.

He was afraid that his son would reveal his true colors in front of his boss and leave a bad impression.

Du Shaojie ignored the two of them and took Wu Chenggang to the back kitchen. Everyone was busy at this time, so they came to the vacant stove at the end.

"What would you like to cook?"

"I haven't learned it systematically, so I can't cook many dishes. Today I'll make [Stir-fried Pork with Chili Peppers] and [Spicy Fish Fillet]."

Du Shaojie nodded, and then asked someone to bring the ingredients.

The ingredients are clean, but the other party needs to handle them by themselves.

Wu Chenggang quickly got into the mood, processing the ingredients, marinating them, preparing condiments and side dishes, and then started heating the pan and heating the oil.

Du Shaojie didn't say a word and just watched from beginning to end.

After Wu Chenggang prepared two dishes, he said, "Boss, would you like to try some?"

He stared at Du Shaojie as he spoke, fearing that he would refuse. He was still quite nervous at this time, like a primary school student waiting for the teacher to announce the scores after the exam.

Du Shaojie said "hmm", then took the cutlery and tasted the dishes made by the other party.

Then he fell silent.

To be honest, Wu Chenggang's cooking skills were not worth mentioning in his eyes. But what surprised him was that this kid had basically reached the entry level of a junior chef without any systematic training, just by working in a restaurant during the winter and summer vacations.

These two home-cooked dishes are full of flavor. Although they have many shortcomings, we can see the potential of each other.

It seems that Wu Chenggang really likes cooking, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach this level.

"Not bad, very good. Xiao Wu, just follow me from now on. After a few years of training, you will be fully qualified to take over your parents' job."

Du Shaojie was moved by his admiration for talent and began to speak.

When Wu Dazhu and his wife heard this, they were overjoyed. What a great fortune it was to be able to follow the boss.

Not to mention cooking skills, just being knowledgeable can bring countless benefits.

"Thank you, boss! I will definitely cherish this opportunity."

Wu Chenggang was a college student after all, so how could he not understand that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He immediately agreed without saying anything and kept thanking Du Shaojie.

Mr. and Mrs. Wu Dazhu were so happy that they were at a loss as to what to do. They surrounded Du Shaojie and said a lot of good things about him.

Du Shaojie waved his hand, signaling the couple to go about their business.

Afterwards, he started to work in the kitchen. After Ye Weiming and others arrived, he just asked Wu Chenggang to tell them to go fishing first, and he prepared to cook a few dishes.

During this period, Wu Chenggang has been by his side.

Du Shaojie, Ye Weiming, Jiang Dongyuan, Huang Yong and others were sitting in a private room drinking.

Everyone was very happy to be able to eat the dishes prepared by Chef Du himself today.

Especially Huang Yong, since he was transferred to Shenzhen, he has fewer opportunities to sit with everyone. He hasn't eaten such delicious dishes for a long time.

"Boss Du, don't take it too seriously. Just treat it normally. As the saying goes, soldiers always come and go. Who knows, he might leave at any time."

Everyone knew that Du Shaojie was being targeted, and Jiang Dongyuan spoke up to give him some advice, but he was actually talking about himself.

He recently got word that he will retire within a year or so, and basically has no chance of further advancement.

"Thank you for your concern! Actually, I don't really take it to heart. I'm not a reckless person. If you want to cause trouble for me through food safety or taxation, you are definitely overthinking it."

Du Shaojie laughed without showing any annoyance.

It is true. The catering companies under his control have no problems with the ingredients they use and they pay taxes according to regulations every month. They are not afraid of inspections at all.

"That's right! A good blacksmith must be strong himself. As long as Mr. Du is not caught by anyone, there is nothing to be afraid of various inspections. At most, it will only be a little troublesome."

Ye Weiming deeply agreed with this. He knew Du Shaojie very well and knew that he would not leave any loopholes in these matters.

At the same time, given the other party's status, position, and connections, even that person would not dare to frame someone blatantly.

So in his opinion, everything that happened before was a trivial matter and not worth mentioning.

"Let's not talk about this. It's a rare occasion for Director Huang to come to Yangcheng. We must make sure he eats and drinks well today."

Du Shaojie immediately changed the topic, and the atmosphere at the party became lively again.

His words worked, and Huang Yong eventually got drunk, but everyone was in a good mood.

The next day.

Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to Shenzhen by car.

Tax audits still need to be taken seriously. Of course, he didn't make a trip just for this matter. Liang Meiqin happened to be on vacation these two days, and the other party also came to Shenzhen.

night.

He and Liang Meiqin went to have a hotpot meal together.

"Shaojie, the hotpot in the mainland is still delicious. The hotpot I ate in Hong Kong always felt a little bit inferior. I wonder if it has been improved."

Liang Meiqin ate a lot and said with satisfaction.

Du Shaojie smiled and shook his head, disagreeing with the other party's statement: "You are just being psychological. The hot pot thing can only have the spiciness adjusted a little bit, there is not such a big difference."

"Yeah, maybe it's just a psychological effect. By the way, isn't the catering company conducting a tax audit? You don't have to accompany me. I'll go to the Magic City to see Xiaoya by myself."

Liang Meiqin knew about the tax audit and she didn't want to be held back, so she made things clear in advance.

"The tax audit is just a routine matter. There's nothing to worry about. I mean, why did you suddenly want to go see Xiaoya?"

"Xiao Ya called me many times on the phone and invited me to visit Shanghai. I only agreed but never fulfilled my promise."

"Okay, go ahead. I won't accompany you."

The reason why Du Shaojie didn't go with Liang Meiqin was not because of the tax inspection, but because he had no plans to go to Shanghai recently.

Since the other party wants to see Xiaoya, let them have fun for a few days. There is no need for me to join in the fun.

He stayed with Liang Meiqin for two days, and then she flew to Shanghai.

Du Shaojie did not go to [Bailian Catering] to take charge, but went to the construction site of United Real Estate first. The whole project progressed smoothly. In fact, as long as the funds are in place, there will basically be no major problems these days.

After all, with the involvement of an established real estate developer, he and Liu Zijian and others can rest assured.

Next, he went to [Dongsheng Electronics] and had a hot pot meal with Yu Mo. This was the second time they had eaten hot pot in a few days. There was nothing they could do about it, as many women liked it.

After wandering around outside for a few days, he finally arrived at the [Yuedong Entertainment] building.

He has his own office here, where he handles official business and plays games in his spare time. He lives a very comfortable life.

That afternoon, Du Shaojie received a call from Yu Jianxin, saying that the tax audit had been completed and there were no problems with the company's accounts.

That was no problem, he was too lazy to meet with the tax man.

Du Shaojie walked into the headquarters building only after the other party withdrew.

The staff in the Finance Department had been very hard-working during this period, working overtime every day to accompany the tax staff in checking accounts. So as soon as he arrived at the company, he asked Yu Jianxin to give a bonus to the finance staff.

noon.

Du Shaojie took Wang Yongli and others to the company cafeteria. While eating, he asked Wu Chenggang: "Xiao Wu, what do you think of the company's food?"

"It's very good, better than most restaurants. When I was in school, the food in the school cafeteria was terrible. In comparison, the food in the company is simply delicious."

Wu Chenggang now follows Du Shaojie all day and has a new understanding of delicious food. (End of this chapter)
