Tycoon: I Have an Unlimited Modifier novel Chapter 262

Chapter 262: Chapter 155: A Celebrity Head Chef Joins

Inside the private room, Qi Sheng and Tan Yuheng sat next to each other, with Tan Hua and Han Yueying beside them.

"Go tell the head chef to prepare all the signature dishes."

Qi Sheng wasn’t just here to eat; he also wanted to test the head chef’s skills.

"Yes, Boss."

The waitress didn’t dare to delay and hurried off to inform the kitchen.

"Tsk, tsk. It really is different when the boss shows up. The waitress’s attitude is a world of difference from the last time we were here."

Tan Yuheng remarked, struck by the contrast in service between his two dining experiences.

"Service at a restaurant of this caliber is a given. What’s most important is the food."

Qi Sheng had a general idea of the restaurant’s revenue from Jie Chao.

Business couldn’t compare to Zifei in Chengdu, but it was acceptable.

The head chef’s skill level was definitely no match for Yu Huachuan, who had over twenty years of experience in the industry.

By the end of the meal, the food could only be described as mediocre.

"Have the head chef come in."

Qi Sheng wiped his mouth and instructed the waitress in the private room.

"Yes, Boss."

The waitress’s heart began to pound.

She could tell the boss was not satisfied with the quality of the food.

Before long, a middle-aged man in a white chef’s uniform walked into the room.

"Hello, Boss."

Wu Rong bowed slightly, his voice tinged with apprehension.

He had already gathered from the waitress’s expression that the new boss was not pleased with his cooking.

"Chef Wu, how many years have you been working at this restaurant?"

Qi Sheng wasn’t angry, instead asking the question in a calm tone.

"I’ve been with this restaurant since ’13. It’s been almost six years now."

As Wu Rong spoke of his work history, he straightened up a bit.

"So you’re saying your skills haven’t improved at all in six years?"

Qi Sheng despised people who rested on their laurels and used their seniority to get by.

’It’s true you’ve contributed to this restaurant.’

’But what the hell does that have to do with me, the new boss?’

"Er..."

Wu Rong was speechless, lowering his head in shame.

"Alright, Chef Wu, you can either choose to resign, or the company can terminate your contract."

"Given that you’ve served the restaurant for so many years, I’ll give you an N+1 severance package."

With his system’s talent pool, the one thing Qi Sheng didn’t lack was talent.

He could pick any of the other chefs in the kitchen, promote them, and their skills would still be better than Wu Rong’s.

"Boss, please give me another chance! I promise..."

Wu Rong panicked.

At his skill level, he could only manage to be the head chef at this particular restaurant.

Once he was fired, other restaurants would at most offer him a sous chef position.

He could forget about ever being a head chef again.

"Bring the restaurant’s sous chefs here."

Qi Sheng waved his hand, speaking to the dumbfounded waitress.

"Oh, oh! One moment, please."

The waitress scurried to the kitchen and brought three sous chefs to the private room.

Now that Wu Rong was gone, they were ecstatic.

"Ah Sheng, you fired the head chef so hastily. Can the restaurant still function?"

Tan Yuheng asked, looking worried.

He was afraid Qi Sheng’s impulsive decision would hurt the restaurant’s business.

"If I dared to do it, you can be sure I have a backup plan."

After finishing their meal, Qi Sheng and the others didn’t rush to leave.

They stayed in the private room, drinking tea and waiting for the new head chef to start.

"Isn’t that Chef Lin from *Chinese Restaurant*?"

"Oh my god, he’s so handsome in person."

"Wait, our head chef was just fired by the boss. Don’t tell me this Chef Lin is here to replace him?"

"For real? If that’s true, our restaurant is going to be packed."

Hearing the buzzing chatter from outside, Qi Sheng smiled knowingly.

"Boss, Chef Lin Shuwei has arrived."

The waitress knocked on the door of the private room, her voice trembling with excitement as she made the announcement.

"Come in."

Qi Sheng didn’t put on the airs of a boss, rising from his seat.

Even Uncle Liu knew to treat his worthy subordinates with respect.

Qi Sheng held great respect for talented people who could make him money.

"Hello, Boss. I’m Lin Shuwei. Thank you very much for your invitation."

Lin Shuwei had a refined, scholarly air and a gentle voice.

In terms of image alone, he was a hundred times better than Wu Rong.

The fact that he had been invited to the show *Chinese Restaurant* was the best proof of his skill.
