Food: Taking the twins to kindergarten to be chefs

"Goodbye, teacher~"

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work today. You organized such a wonderful event and made us spend a happy and unforgettable Children's Day. That's it for now. We will leave now and see you next Monday!"

"Chef Huang, thank you so much! The children just can't put down the delicious food you made, and even we adults enjoy it. Because of you, this year's Children's Day has become more perfect and meaningful! Then we won't disturb you to continue working, we will leave first, bye, and look forward to the delicious food next time!"

"..."

The parents were very satisfied with today's activities, so when they left, they were full of gratitude and expressed their most sincere gratitude to the teachers and Huang Jun.

To be honest.

Today's activities are rich and varied.

Not only are there a wide variety of delicious foods for everyone to taste, there is also the fun activity of making rice dumplings, as well as exquisite gifts and red envelopes with beautiful meanings. The children are naturally very happy, and the parents also feel that this event is particularly worthwhile.

How can such a wonderful event not make people happy?

This is not.

The Children's Day event has just ended, and everyone is already looking forward to the next such joyful and delicious gathering.

"Thank you for the compliments, parents. This is really my duty, it's nothing to mention. Take care, see you next week, bye..."

Huang Jun smiled and nodded to the parents who greeted him enthusiastically, responding to their praise.

At the same time, teachers from each class also said goodbye to the parents and children of their respective classes, watching them go away: "Okay, dear parents, dear children, take care, and look forward to seeing you again next Monday. Bye~"

In the blink of an eye.

The playground, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became empty and quiet, as if all the noise had gone with the wind.

"Phew, I'm finally done. My old bones almost couldn't take it any longer."

As Xie Jianing spoke, she gently kneaded her sore and swollen limbs, and a relaxed smile of relief gradually blossomed on her face.

Seeing this, Yang Yuxi raised the corners of her mouth and responded gently: "Yes, although it is tiring, it is much easier than those intense rehearsal activities."

"Yes, yes, indeed!"

Xie Jianing nodded quickly to show her agreement, and her thoughts immediately drifted to the upcoming short holiday, and a ripple of joy involuntarily arose in her heart.

At this moment, she noticed that Liu Shiwei's family of three were still standing there. She couldn't help but feel a little curious, so she asked, "Hanhan's father, Hanhan's mother, and our lovely little Hanhan, why haven't you left yet? Is there anything else that needs to be dealt with?"

“We’re in no rush to leave.”

Liu Shiwei smiled and spoke in a warm tone. He shook his head gently and continued, "Actually, I have something I want to talk to Brother Huang Jun about."

Originally, he planned to talk to Huang Jun in detail immediately after the event, but unexpectedly, the parents were extremely enthusiastic and surrounded Huang Jun, saying goodbye to him warmly. As a result, not only did he not find an opportunity to have a deep conversation with Huang Jun, but he was squeezed to the periphery of the crowd by the enthusiastic parents.

Hey!
As the chairman of Runan Group, he also had his helpless moments when he was not valued, not sought after, and was instead pushed to the margins.

You know, wherever he went in the past, he was the focus of everyone's attention, surrounded by people and highly sought after.

Now, however, the situation is quite the opposite.

Hey!
can only say…

Wherever Huang Jun is, his brilliance as a CEO seems to be overshadowed.

But even so, he didn't care. Instead, he felt that Huang Jun really deserved such warm treatment from parents.

"Oh I see…"

Hearing this, Xie Jianing nodded in understanding and said, "Then please do as you please... Qingqing's father is not busy right now, you can go find him."

"I think so too!"

Liu Shiwei nodded and walked towards Huang Jun.

At this moment, Huang Jun looked at the rice dumplings piled up like a mountain in front of him, and a sense of helplessness surged in his heart.

It would be difficult for him, Qingqing and Weiwei to digest so many dumplings alone.

Even if you eat it every day, it will probably take you ten days or half a month...

I might even get hurt and never love zongzi again...

In order to avoid this unnecessary "sweet burden", Huang Jun smiled and extended a sincere invitation to the teachers around him: "I seem to have wrapped too many rice dumplings here. I wonder which teacher is willing to lend a hand and help share some of the burden?"

The teachers have all participated in making rice dumplings just now, and now almost everyone has a few or even a dozen rice dumplings in their hands.

In short.

What everyone lacks the most now is rice dumplings.

But seeing that the dumplings Huang Jun made were particularly beautiful, they couldn't help but be attracted and came forward to pick one or two.

Liang Yinqiu, Liu Suyu and other park leaders who did not participate in making zongzi were also infected by the liveliness and warmth, and joined the team with a smile: "Let's join in the fun and take a few to try..."

As pairs of enthusiastic hands took over the dumplings, the "dumpling mountain" quickly shrank, but more than twenty dumplings were still left waiting for a new home.

But it's a pity...

No one received it anymore!

"Oh, if I had known there would be so many, I shouldn't have been so impatient to buy it..." Huang Jun said helplessly with a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

Zongzi is delicious, but it is made of glutinous rice after all. Eating too much will inevitably make people feel sick of it and easily make them full.

What's more, the two little ones, Qingqing and Weiwei, have limited appetite and can't finish so much.

When Liu Shiwei came over, Huang Jun greeted him with a warm smile: "Brother Liu, come and try some zongzi? I made a little too much here, and I'm afraid it will be wasted if I can't finish it."

Liu Shiwei smiled and declined, "No, no, your sister-in-law just learned how to make zongzi from you. She's quite skilled and made quite a few! Those zongzi are enough for us to eat for several days. You should keep them for yourself and your family..."

"Ah, it seems that this is the only way."

Huang Jun sighed helplessly.

Qingqing saw her father's worry and sensibly comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, I will try my best to eat the rice dumplings and make sure I eat them all."

When Weiwei heard this, she quickly came forward and echoed, "Yes, Dad, I can eat a lot too, I will definitely finish all these dumplings..."

As she spoke, she jumped up and down on the spot, gently shaking Huang Jun's hand, trying coquettishly to get him to not give away the remaining dumplings.

Huang Jun looked at the two little ones who were reluctant to part with the food, so he reached out and touched their heads, smiling and nodding: "Okay, Daddy gets it, you two will definitely be able to finish it. Then we won't give it away, but take it all home and keep it for later, okay?"

"Yeah, that's great!"

When the two little guys heard this, they immediately cheered and jumped for joy, with happy smiles on their faces.

"Brother Huang, are you free now? I have something I want to discuss with you in detail. How about we find a quiet place to sit down and talk slowly?" Liu Shiwei sincerely expressed what he was thinking.

"Brother Liu, how about you wait for a moment while I tidy up the place and then we can go to my house to discuss in detail?" Huang Jun responded, and at the same time noticed that the teachers around him were already busy cleaning, and he felt it would be inappropriate for him to be idle alone.

"no problem!"

Liu Shiwei expressed his understanding and offered: "How about I help you, so we can finish it faster." Although Huang Jun was a little surprised, he still accepted Liu Shiwei's kindness: "Okay, let's do it together!"

Just as Huang Jun was about to roll up his sleeves and start working, Liang Yinqiu stopped him and handed him a big Dragon Boat Festival red envelope, saying: "Chef Huang, you've worked hard today. Go back with Qingqing and Weiwei first. Leave this to us. Go back and have a good rest..."

Speaking of which, Huang Jun was the busiest and most tired person in this event.

After all, from deciding the menu and preparing the ingredients in advance, to cooking today, and then to instructing the teachers and parents in making the rice dumplings, he did every step personally.

so…

It is reasonable to let him take a break.

Huang Jun was naturally overjoyed when Liang Yinqiu suggested that he no longer need to help and could go home to relax, but he still politely said: "Director Liang, how can this be embarrassing? Everyone is busy cleaning up, it doesn't seem appropriate for me to leave alone..."

"Nothing bad, Chef Huang."

Liang Yinqiu responded gently: "You have been busy these days, you should go back and rest early."

Seeing this, Huang Jun no longer refused: "Well, since Director Liang has said so, I will respectfully obey your order and leave first..."

"Go ahead, go back and have a good rest."

Liang Yinqiu smiled and nodded.

The teachers and other kindergarten leaders were a little envious when they saw Huang Jun could leave early, but when they recalled his hard work in the kitchen during the banquet, they all said goodbye to him with a smile: "Goodbye, Chef Huang, I wish you a healthy Dragon Boat Festival and happiness to your family in advance!"

"Thank you all for your blessings. I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival too! I'll be leaving first and see you next week!" Huang Jun smiled and waved to everyone in response.

Qingqing and Weiwei also imitated the adults, waving their hands and saying in baby voices, "Bye, teacher. Bye, headmother~"

"Brother Liu, let's go too..."

Huang Jun turned to Liu Shiwei and said.

Afterwards, the group walked out of the kindergarten gate, got into Liu Shiwei's car, and drove all the way to Lintingyuan Community.

After arriving at the community, they got off the car and took the elevator directly to the 5th floor and arrived at Huang Jun's door.

Once inside…

Huang Jun started to make arrangements enthusiastically. He smiled and said to Liu Shiwei and his family, "Come on, Brother Liu, sister-in-law, and Hanhan, please come in. The house may be a little messy, don't mind it."

Liu Shiwei laughed heartily and said, "Brother Huang, you are too polite. If your family is considered a mess, then our family must be a mess too! Haha, we don't care about these things, just be casual."

Huang Jun knew that Liu Shiwei was trying to comfort him.

After all, Liu Shiwei's family's big villa is usually taken care of by someone, so how could it be really messy?

He didn't say anything else. He quickly took out slippers for Liu Shiwei and his family to change into, and then led them to the living room to sit down.

He poured water, brought fruits, and greeted people warmly.

Then, he remembered the purpose of Liu Shiwei's visit, and politely suggested: "Brother Liu, you said you wanted to talk to me about something, why don't we move to the study, where it's quieter and more convenient for us to talk in detail?"

"Good idea, let's go!"

Liu Shiwei responded readily,

"Sister-in-law, Hanhan, I have to excuse myself for a moment."

Huang Jun looked at Wen Xueqian and her daughter with an apologetic look on his face. After hearing them say "you are busy", he turned to the two children and said, "Qingqing, Weiwei, you two little ones have to entertain the guests well. Daddy is going to the study to talk to Uncle Liu about something."

"Don't worry, Daddy!"

Qingqing patted her chest and promised seriously, "I will definitely take good care of Aunt Wen and Hanhan."

Weiwei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Dad, just go ahead and get busy. With my sister and I here, Aunt Wen and Hanhan will definitely not be bored."

"Okay, Dad believes you can do it!"

Huang Jun patted the two children's heads with relief, and then said to Liu Shiwei: "Then Brother Liu, let's go to the study room now."

The two walked through the living room and came to the study.

"Brother Liu, please sit down."

Huang Jun warmly invited Liu Shiwei to take a seat and then made him a cup of tea.

"Brother Liu, stop working..."

Liu Shiwei smiled and waved his hand to signal Huang Jun not to be polite: "Come, sit down and let's talk business."

"Hey, okay, Brother Liu..."

Huang Jun smiled and handed the brewed tea to Liu Shiwei, then he pulled a chair over and sat down across from him: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Liu Shiwei took a sip of tea, feeling the fragrance of the tea flowing between his lips and teeth, then slowly put down the teacup, his expression becoming solemn and serious: "Actually, it's like this, I tasted the braised food you made today, and the taste was absolutely amazing. This delicious food inspired me to start a food company. I hope to work with you, with me providing financial support and you contributing the unique recipe. I believe that with our joint efforts, this food company will surely achieve great success and bring in considerable profits..."

After listening to Liu Shiwei's words, Huang Jun suddenly understood that the real purpose of Liu Shiwei's visit was to discuss the cooperation in opening a food company.

Thinking of Liu Shiwei's keen insight and extensive network of contacts in the business world, as well as his strong financial strength, Huang Jun felt that if he could cooperate with Liu Shiwei to open a food company, it would undoubtedly be a business opportunity with great potential.

What's more, if I don't seize this money-making opportunity that Liu Shiwei has offered to me, I will be missing out on a great opportunity and wasting my talent and luck!

He thought about it and said hesitantly, "Opening a food company is a good idea, but you know, I have neither experience nor energy to manage it. If you really want to do it, all the subsequent matters may have to be taken care of by you, Brother Liu..."

Liu Shiwei laughed heartily, patted Huang Jun on the shoulder and said, "Brother Huang, don't worry, you don't need to worry about every aspect of the company from site selection to operation. I will be fully responsible. You only need to show up at the company's opening ribbon-cutting ceremony and give some guidance during the pre-production. You don't need to worry about other things. Just wait and count the money."

Huang Jun's doubts were instantly dispelled after hearing this, but he then asked with concern, "What about the distribution of profits?"

Liu Shiwei smiled slightly and said confidently: "60% to 40%? I think this ratio is quite appropriate..."

When Huang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but calculate in his mind. He felt that he didn't have to spend any money or effort, and he could get 40% of the profits just by relying on a recipe. This was already quite good.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to express his agreement, Liu Shiwei's words rang out again: "Brother Huang, you get six and I get four. Are you satisfied with this split?"

When Huang Jun heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

To be honest, he really didn't expect this result.

But soon.

He understood Liu Shiwei's intention!
It is because of his recipe and craftsmanship that they are willing to make such generous concessions.

He looked at Liu Shiwei gratefully and said sincerely: "Brother Liu, you are so polite. Since you trust me so much, I will never let you down. Let's make a deal. Let's work together to make this food company bigger and stronger and create brilliance together!"

"Okay, Brother Huang."

Liu Shiwei responded cheerfully, his eyes full of longing and confidence for the future: "Then I will prepare a detailed contract in the next two days. Let's sign it formally and finalize the cooperation. How about that?"

"sure!"

Huang Jun nodded in agreement, his face filled with excitement and anticipation, and patted Liu Shiwei on the shoulder: "Then I will wait for good news, Brother Liu."

"Okay, that's settled then." (End of this chapter)
