Brush Up Your Proficiency

"Honey, why are you so late coming home today? Your dad doesn't even bother to cook when you're not here." Tang Yan, who had been playing with Wang Lan all day and didn't return home until after ten o'clock in the evening, was greeted with a complaint from her mother as soon as she arrived.

Hearing Tang Yan's return, her father immediately came out of the room, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "Oh, you're back. Are you hungry? I'll go cook for you!" In reality, his heart was filled with the resentment of an old father regarding his daughter's late return.

"I'm not eating. I ate too much today. Mom and Dad, you wouldn't believe the restaurant my friend took me to, called 'Food is Heaven'. The food there is so delicious, I can't even describe it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!" Tang Yan said, a look of reminiscence on her face.

Tang's father clearly felt the praise in his daughter's tone, and his inexplicable competitive spirit was immediately aroused. He had been cooking for his daughter for so many years, and he had never received such a high evaluation from her. Yet, she had only eaten there once and was already captivated.

Sensing that his expertise was being challenged, Tang's father said with a hint of jealousy, "How good can it be? Just one or two dishes with some special features, that's all!"

Tang Yan also clearly felt her father's little emotions and quickly comforted him, "You're right, Dad's cooking is the best. No one can compare."

Hearing this, Tang's father felt much better, the expression on his face relaxed, and the corners of his mouth even slightly turned up.

Tang Yan seized the opportunity and continued to praise, "I'll take you there to try it someday and let my dad, the professional, give it a good evaluation. It's my friend's brother's restaurant, so we can also give them some advice."

She knew that her father loved it when people praised his cooking skills, and saying this would definitely make him happy.

Actually, Tang Yan's comforting her father was just a side benefit. The most important thing was that she wanted to taste those delicious dishes again, which was her ultimate goal.

The flattered Tang father was secretly delighted in his heart. He naturally agreed with his daughter's suggestion and said that he would definitely go and give them some guidance when he had time.

This made Tang Yan excited. She rushed forward, hugged both of her parents tightly, and then returned to her room contentedly.

In the living room, only Tang's father and Tang's mother remained.

Tang's mother watched Tang's father being played around by his daughter and couldn't help but shake her head and smile wryly.

She knew that Tang's father just loved this daughter too much, so he was completely under her thumb. However, seeing her daughter so happy, she also felt very gratified.

Similar scenes were constantly playing out in various families in Xingyun City. Those customers who had tasted the delicious food of "Food is Heaven" had all become loyal fans of "Food is Heaven".

They even voluntarily acted as free promoters, enthusiastically praising the restaurant's food to the people around them, saying that it had a magical power that made people want to come back for more.

Especially the obvious measures that those companies might take - poaching people.

As a businessman who had been in the business world for many years, Cheng's father knew that in the face of profit, many cooperative relationships would become extremely fragile.

Breaches of contract, falling out, and other situations were common, and he had witnessed too many similar cases.

Although his daughter had signed a contract with Wang Hao and held a certain percentage of the shares, forming a certain restraint on Wang Hao, in the face of huge profit temptations, these restraints were probably difficult to resist.

Cheng's father couldn't help but put himself in Wang Hao's shoes. If he were Wang Hao's age now, facing such tempting conditions, would he be able to stick to his principles? The answer didn't seem optimistic.

Moreover, if Wang Hao was just an ordinary chef, then even if he lost him, Food is Heaven could still find other suitable candidates to fill the vacancy.

However, the reality was not so simple. Wang Hao's culinary talent and the unique dining experience he created made his position in Food is Heaven irreplaceable.

Although with his connections, he could find a chef who was slightly inferior to Wang Hao, the result would definitely not be satisfactory.

Moreover, what Father Li said today was still lingering in his mind. He had never seen Wang Hao's cooking skills, which had magical health benefits. It could be said that it was the only one in the world. If such talent was really poached away, the loss would be too great!

Cheng's father shook his head helplessly and told his wife his worries.

After listening, Cheng's mother smiled slightly and softly comforted him, "Don't think so much. You should trust the children to be able to handle their own affairs." In her opinion, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and too much intervention may be counterproductive.

After listening, Cheng's father also sighed slightly, feeling that what his wife said was not unreasonable.

So, he decided to temporarily put aside his worries and wait and see what happens.

"Dad, Mom, it's so late, aren't you going to rest yet?" As the voice fell, a spirited figure appeared at the door, it was Cheng Yufei. As soon as she opened the door, she saw her parents sitting in the living room chatting, with a hint of doubt on her face.

When Cheng's mother saw her daughter return, she immediately stood up, walked quickly to her side, and asked with a smile on her face:

"Oh dear, my darling daughter is finally back! We've been waiting for you to come back and report the good news. The first day of your restaurant opening can be considered the beginning of your career, tell us quickly, how did it go?"

When Cheng Yufei heard her mother's words, her eyes lit up and her face was filled with excitement and joy. She happily said, "Haha, guess how much our store's turnover was today?"

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother looked at their daughter's excited appearance and secretly speculated that the results must have exceeded their expectations. So, they followed their daughter's topic and guessed.

Cheng's father pondered for a moment and took the lead in saying, "Well... I think it should be 200,000?" He still knew a lot about the operation of the restaurant. Based on past experience, such a result was already quite good.

However, Cheng Yufei shook her head, indicating that it was not that number. Seeing this, Cheng's mother then guessed, "Is it 300,000?"

Cheng's father frowned slightly when he heard his wife's words, seeming to disagree. Because he knew that the scale of Food is Heaven was limited, even if Wang Hao's cooking skills were superb, being able to reach a turnover of 300,000 was already the limit.

"No, no, I'll just tell you directly." Cheng Yufei said here, deliberately cleared her throat, and seeing that Cheng's father and Cheng's mother's eyes were focused on her, she then continued:

"Today's turnover of Food is Heaven is: 460,000! If you don't count the free order activity, it should be able to reach 500,000!"

When Cheng's mother heard the number Cheng Yufei said, her expression was okay. She didn't know much about this aspect, but she felt that it was a lot, and Wang Hao's cooking skills were worth this number.

But Cheng's father, as a professional, was shocked when he heard this number. They actually achieved 500,000 with a full load of 300,000, a breakthrough of 1.7 times the upper limit. Such a result made him, who was good at data, feel a little unacceptable.

If his group could reach such an upper limit, then other companies would just be younger brothers in front of him. What face, what communication, in the face of such strength, they would have to call him big brother.

"The Yangtze River pushes the waves forward! Wang Hao, this kid, is really good at giving people surprises!" Cheng's father couldn't help but exclaim.
