Chapter 946: Chapter 398: Lin Xu: Tempting Me with Household Registration? Let’s Play Along! [Monthly Ticket 3000 Bonus]

Recording it for the whole country to see, doesn’t that mean I’m basically giving a lecture to the whole country?

This is great, it doesn’t restrict venue or audience, it’s simply perfect.

In his excitement, he thought of another issue:

But isn’t it a bit too much to trouble my daughter-in-law before she’s even part of the family?

Ren Chongmo asked:

"Xiao Yan, is recording this program difficult? Will it burden your company? If it’s troublesome, forget it, I’m not particularly eager to give lectures..."

"Not at all, not at all, this is precisely the kind of business we urgently need. We’ve sought out several professors before, but they thought we wanted to make them internet celebrities, and before we could finish explaining, they rejected us. If you agree, you’d solve the biggest shortfall in our company’s business."

Hearing that she could help her daughter-in-law, Tian Qinglan couldn’t sit still:

"Xiao Yan, is my husband the only one who can give lectures? Can I do it too? If I’m capable, I can also record some online courses. As long as it helps you, I can even find some professors and scholars to join in."

Oh wow, that’s a great idea.

Chen Yan said:

"That’s excellent, let’s organize the courses. When the company staff are back at work the day after tomorrow, we can start recording the first episode. We can even involve your brother-in-law to leverage his fame to draw in crowds."

My fame?

Lin Xu thought that using his fame to help Ren Chongmo was fine, but he’s a serious scholar of Chinese Language, while Lin Xu is a chef with cute pets, which doesn’t quite match.

He put a piece of steamed fish head with black bean sauce in his mouth:

"My style doesn’t match with Professor Ren’s, appearing together might have the opposite effect. Let’s dress Dundun up as a student and let him record with Professor Ren; the effect should be good too." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

With Dundun’s fan appeal, the videos would go viral within three episodes.

Besides, any interaction with pets is much more appealing than between people.

Shen Baobao’s eyes lit up:

"Exactly, let Dundun come. Dundun has showcased its performance talent before. It played the piano last time, impressing netizens with its musical appreciation. Now, it’s time for it to learn some advanced knowledge."

Ren Chongmo wasn’t particularly interested in pets, originally thinking the suggestion was too naive.

But unexpectedly, everyone, including his own wife, agreed to try it with Dundun.

Since that’s the case, let’s give it a try.

Just as they were finishing dinner, Lin Xu suddenly received a call from Liao Jinming of the Fishing Platform Dining Department.

"Director Liao? Did you call for something?"

"Lin Xu, is Old Xie there with you? Please pass the phone to him."

Looking for my senior?

You could just call his cell phone, why call me?

Lin Xu handed the phone to Xie Baomin:

"Director Liao is looking for you, not sure what’s up."

Xie Baomin took the phone outside, and shortly after, he pushed open the private room door and gestured for Lin Xu to come out.

Once Lin Xu was outside, he said:

"Here’s the thing, Yanjing Hotel contacted Director Liao, expressing deep realization of their mistakes and promising strict rectification, ensuring that the incident won’t happen again during site visits."

"What’s that got to do with us? They’re not a subordinate unit of the Fishing Platform, they don’t need to make assurances."

Xie Baomin chuckled:

"They want to hire you as the supervisor of Yanjing Hotel, responsible for supervising all kitchen operations across Yanjing Hotel’s restaurants."

Su...pervisor?

Lin Xu asked:

"And then?"

Xie Baomin paused, then asked:

"What do you mean ’and then’?"

"The compensation, you expect me to work for them, and they don’t even mention payment? Professional culinary consulting companies charge a high price, are they looking to get something for nothing?"

Wow, my position with the Fishing Platform was mutually beneficial, which is why the supervisor role was created specifically for me.

But Yanjing Hotel copying this is a bit inappropriate.

There’s no relation with you all, and you suddenly want me to work for you.

If the dishes fail again, will they blame me for poor supervision and shove the blame on me?

Though the probability is low, it’s something to guard against.

Xie Baomin held the phone and said to Liao Jinming on the other end:

"Did you hear that, Director Liao? My junior’s attitude is clear, working without pay, where’s the fun in that? If their dishes fail, all the netizens will blame my junior, so whoever wants this task can have it, we won’t agree to it."

From the phone came Liao Jinming’s voice:

"Okay, got it, I’ll relay this to Yanjing Hotel."

After hanging up, Liao Jinming said to Ye Lixin, who was sitting across:

"You heard, right? You thought it was a prestigious offer, but these brothers don’t care. Lin Xu agreed to work at the Fishing Platform because he’s learned many dishes here, and top chefs are willing to guide him... Without proper benefits, would you agree at Yanjing Hotel?"

Lin Xu currently lacks neither fame nor mentorship nor network.

With Yanjing Hotel’s constant online criticism, why would he want to be involved?

Ye Lixin knew it wasn’t as simple as it seemed.

He was prepared to hit a wall.

He considered and asked:

"Old Liao, you know, in our kind of establishment, we can adjust benefits but the wages are quite restricted. I could offer Lin Xu ten thousand, eight thousand, but he probably wouldn’t even look at it."

For regular folks, this might seem like easy money to grab, but Lin Xu doesn’t need such small amounts.

Director Liao nodded, holding a teapot to refill Ye Lixin’s teacup:
