Daddy's Gourmet Shop-Chapter 272 - 263: Outmatched...

Lin Qiuyu and Li Chengzhan were successful in their job interviews, naturally, they were overjoyed.

What does it mean to work at the Delicious Restaurant?

It means that you can eat Boss Huang’s dishes three times a day without having to wait in line.

And as much as you want!

Plus, you can taste new dishes fresh out of the kitchen first.

So, what’s a little work?

Even if they had to work every day without pay, as long as their meals were covered, they’d be happy to do it!

As the saying goes, some rejoice while others grieve.

Indeed.

The rest of the rejected rich second-generation brothers were all downcast, like defeated roosters.

Their eyes were filled with envy as they looked at Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu!

"Zhan, Qiuyu, you guys really had amazing luck today. We were only off by a fraction of a second..."

Although Shao Yuqiao’s words carried a hint of unwillingness, he ultimately accepted the fact of their failure with resignation: "But unfortunately... in the end, we still lost."

Liang Lu Yang agreed reluctantly, saying: "Honestly, this kind of competition recruitment method is quite unfair. Everyone is excellent, but because of a fraction of a second difference, we missed the chance."

"I’m crying! I was only 0.1 seconds behind Qiuyu! If I had known it was just 0.1 seconds, I should have sped up a little more!"

Ma Junwen wore an expression of despair, akin to saying, "Woe is me."

"This can only mean Qiuyu’s luck is truly phenomenal!"

Lin Anan looked at them and jokingly asked, "Qiuyu, Zhan, confess honestly, did you secretly check the almanac before heading out?"

Lin Qiuyu, whose ears were almost calloused from hearing this, couldn’t help but retort: "What do you mean by luck? I got the job because I’ve spent over twenty years honing my speed as a single person. This is a success achieved through skill, so why call it luck?"

Li Chengzhan chimed in supportively: "Exactly, we relied on solid basic skills. You didn’t practice enough, and you’re blaming our good luck. Who gave you the courage, was it Liang Jingru?"

It was such a reasonable argument that no one could refute it.

Indeed, their skills were lacking!

Even with a mere 0.1-second difference, their skills just weren’t as good...

Those brothers with an unbalanced mindset fell silent after the counterattack.

Seeing everyone looking down in silence.

In order not to harm the brotherly bond between them.

Li Chengzhan patted the shoulders of the defeated brothers present and said with a smile, "Go home and practice. Don’t be lazy. Maybe at Boss Huang’s next recruitment, you’ll have another chance."

Lin Qiuyu also laughed and agreed, "Yes, when Boss Huang recruits next time, we’ll definitely recommend you to him, and you’ll be informed immediately to come for the interview. But, ultimately, who Boss Huang recruits will depend on your performance."

After hearing their words, the brothers felt much better.

Ma Junwen, even happier, slapped his thigh and said, "Right! With Zhan and Qiuyu working for Boss Huang, they’ll definitely have the first-hand news on recruitment. Then, we can compete with our speed again! I don’t believe it, with my speed, I won’t get selected?"

Liang Lu Yang jokingly picked up the conversation, "Junwen, but considering your luck being 0.1 seconds off, next time you’ll definitely end up just running alongside again..."

This is like pouring salt on a wound!

Ma Junwen looked at the other expressionlessly, rolling up his sleeves to reveal his arm muscles, saying, "Hey, Lu Yang, I might have bad luck, but I’m strong, want to try me?"

You can’t mess with a muscle man!

Liang Lu Yang looked at Ma Junwen’s body that didn’t match his name, thinking if it came to a fight, he’d only get beaten up.

He quickly smiled and waved his hands, "No, no."

Shao Yuqiao spoke in a peacemaker tone: "Alright, alright, everyone stop messing around. We don’t even know when Boss Huang will be recruiting next time. Arguing now would just embarrass us in front of the neighbors! If it draws the attention of the local police station and our parents find out, that’s a minor issue, but it might affect Boss Huang’s impression of us. Even if there’s a recruitment, he wouldn’t consider us. So, we should behave ourselves, change our bad habits, and stop cursing or fighting."

Everyone thought about it and agreed.

Boss Huang already had some negative comments about their image.

If they were to behave like before, always ready to fight at the slightest disagreement...

They’d probably be blacklisted by Boss Huang directly.

Never to be hired!

To secure a position at Boss Huang’s restaurant in the future.

They decided to be cautious in their words and actions and to aim for steady progress.

Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu, having finally secured the job, secretly told themselves to be patient, avoid arrogance and escapism, and strive to be model young men,

Of course.

They both remembered the promise they made to Huang Tao in their hearts.

At this moment, they were getting ready to drive to the nearby mall for a complete makeover.

Before heading out.

They were still thinking about the dinner at Boss Huang’s restaurant.

They figured that getting a haircut and buying clothes would take about an hour.

When they returned, it would probably be past five o’clock!

At that time, if they queued again, even a braised pig’s hoof might be sold out!

But for them to just eat at the mall?

That was out of the question!

Having tasted Boss Huang’s delicacies, eating at other places would only make them regret their decision and crave Boss Huang’s food even more.

So, they weren’t willing to compromise.

What could they do then?

Initially, the other second-generation rich kids thought that since Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu were employees of the Delicious Restaurant, if they asked their boss to set aside a few dinners.

The boss would likely do them this favor, considering they were employees.

But Li Chengzhan and Lin Qiuyu disagreed.

They thought it wasn’t right to leverage their connections before they’d even worked a single day. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Firmly opposed!

In the end.

The 11 rich kids discussed it and decided.

To let Jiang Chao, the goody-two-shoes among them, buy the meals for them.

So...

Li Chengzhan jotted down everyone’s meal orders on a piece of paper and sent a voice message to Jiang Chao.

[Li Chengzhan]: Jiang Chao, my colleague, the other brothers and I are going to the mall to get haircuts and buy clothes. We temporarily cannot return to line up, so we’re counting on you to buy dinner for us, I’ve messaged you our meal orders.

After saying this, he sent a photo of the meal list.

Jiang Chao was a bit confused when he heard the word "colleague" in the voice message.

[Jiang Chao]: Chengzhan, what do you mean by colleague?

[Li Chengzhan]: Just what it sounds like. Starting tomorrow, Qiuyu and I will be intern employees at the Delicious Restaurant, you’re an assistant chef, and Qiuyu and I are regular employees.

This news was quite surprising to Jiang Chao!

Because their fathers used to offer them high salaries to work at their companies as deputy general managers to get them to settle down.

But none of them were interested.

They said they’d never work as an employee, not in their lifetime.

Unless they were the head of the company, otherwise, forget it.

This made their fathers angry, thinking they were blatantly eyeing the chairman’s position!

No one expected they’d voluntarily run to Boss Huang to apply for a job now.

It seems Boss Huang’s food is indeed the most charming thing!
