Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 497 - 278: How About Hiring Her as the Boss’s Secretary? (Part 4)
During the two or three years that Lao Liu was around, it was the period when Xiong Zhengtao’s culinary skills improved the fastest, and it was also the happiest time for him at Qingshan Restaurant.
Unfortunately, over a year ago, Lao Liu suddenly fell seriously ill. After recovering, his body couldn’t cope anymore, and since he was old, he naturally couldn’t take on the role of head chef any longer. He resigned and went home to recuperate.
After that, He Donglai came.
He Donglai was completely different from Lao Liu, which made Xiong Zhengtao very unaccustomed. After persisting for more than a year until now, he finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
Anyway, he was a loner in Jiangzhou; as long as he was fed, he had no worries, so resigning bare was no big deal. Even if he really couldn’t get into the Seventh Dining Hall, he was unwilling to work under He Donglai any longer.
He couldn’t believe it; without Butcher Zhang, did he really have to eat pig with bristles?
Exhausted, Xiong Zhengtao went home and quickly entered the bathroom, washing away all the smell of food and sweat from his body. After changing into clean pajamas, he came out.
He opened the refrigerator in the corner, took out a bottle of chilled drink, unscrewed it, and took several big gulps before letting out a long sigh of relief.
Holding the drink, he sat down on the sofa, casually picked up the phone on the coffee table, and intended to play a few games.
As soon as he lit up the phone screen, he noticed there was an unread message in his phone. He tapped it casually, and instantly, he froze:
"Dear Mr. Xiong Zhengtao: Thank you for your interest in the Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall! We have received your job application and are pleased to inform you that you have passed our initial screening. We would like to invite you to an interview organized by our dining hall. The details are as follows:

Interview Venue: First floor, Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Contact Person: Miss Hua, Contact Number: 1387917XXXX.
..."
Xiong Zhengtao carefully read through each word, going through the not-so-long interview notification message three or four times before he realized that he had indeed passed the screening of the Seventh Dining Hall and reached the interview stage!
At this moment, an indescribable excitement and joy instantly overflowed from his heart, making him almost jump up.
Since he submitted his job application, Xiong Zhengtao hadn’t relaxed. Whenever he had time, he would log on to the Douyin APP to check if there was any news from the "Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall" account.
What he didn’t expect was that the good news would come so suddenly!
He had been anxious these days, knowing that after Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall’s job postings were published online, chefs from all over the country were eager to apply.
Their reasons varied, but their desire to gauge Boss Xiao Jiang’s culinary skills was evident.
This had also led many competent chefs to apply unusually.
This made Xiong Zhengtao quite worried. He didn’t have a strong technical background or extensive work experience and was just ordinary among senior chefs.
With Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall’s chef recruitment attracting so many outstanding chefs, whether he could catch the eye of Boss Xiao Jiang was hard to say.
Unexpectedly, today, he actually secured an interview opportunity. How could he not be excited?
Xiong Zhengtao took another few gulps of the drink, the sweet liquid sliding down his throat into his stomach, spreading a chill through his limbs, calming him down instantly.
He couldn’t help but take several deep breaths, secretly making a firm decision in his heart:
This time, he must prepare well and not leave himself any room for regrets!
