Brush Up Your Proficiency

After Chang Lei's calculations, the final turnover, although not as brilliant as yesterday, still reached 780,000 yuan.

Compared to yesterday's peak, it did decline somewhat.

However, after Chang Lei carefully calculated the profits, he was pleasantly surprised to find that they were almost the same as the previous day! This result was truly beyond his expectations.

When Chang Lei conveyed this news to Wang Hao and the other two, they all exclaimed in surprise. 'Intentionally plant flowers, and they will bloom; unintentionally insert a willow, and it will thrive.' This little surprise made them smile with satisfaction.

After enjoying a delicious late-night snack, Wang Hao waved goodbye to everyone, carefully packed away the book "Lao Tzu," and embarked on his journey home.

Today, although the daytime was relatively leisurely, the short few hours of the evening were exceptionally busy.

However, to his delight, the overflow proficiency gained after all the effort reached a staggering 866 points!

By this point, the accumulated overflow proficiency had already exceeded two thousand.

Although the overflow proficiency gained today was less than in previous days, if you add the 42 proficiency points obtained through the reading skill and calculate it according to the conversion ratio of "Shifting Stars," then the total proficiency gained today is nearly 1,300 points!

Moreover, because the entire kitchen team had made significant progress and improvements, their work efficiency had greatly increased, which undoubtedly would give Wang Hao more time to read in the future, allowing him to continuously accumulate proficiency.

After carefully sorting out and summarizing the day's fruitful results, Wang Hao was extremely happy. He walked home with light steps, turned his gaze to Li Qiang beside him, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Qiangzi, from now on, our kitchen will have to rely on you to put in more effort!

I've already discussed it with your boss, and when it's time to pay wages next month, this month will be settled directly according to the chef's standards. Work hard!"

Although Wang Hao had provided relevant training to the kitchen staff, under his overall control, the actual effect was, at best, a significant improvement for everyone. Although they were fully capable of handling things independently outside, they were still far behind Li Qiang.

Sometimes, even after his instruction, the cheat wouldn't even show a prompt for increased proficiency.

However, Wang Hao treated Li Qiang with special favor, imparting to him almost all the knowledge and skills he had.

Li Qiang put on an appearance of being righteous and regarding money as dirt, but he changed his tune halfway through his sentence and couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

After these few days of running-in and getting acquainted, he had completely mastered the rhythm of the kitchen work.

Initially, he would only make some minor mistakes when he was exceptionally busy;

But now, he was able to handle various situations with ease and composure.

Li Qiang and He Xiaoqing were well aware that Li Qiang's achievements today were all thanks to Wang Hao.

Li Qiang and He Xiaoqing deeply remembered Wang Hao's kindness to them, but on the surface, they still acted as usual.

However, if Wang Hao ever encountered difficulties or needed help, they would definitely step forward without hesitation and give their full support.

This behavior was not out of any utilitarian considerations, but simply stemmed from the pure and sincere emotional bond between people.

As Wang Hao entered his home, a familiar beautiful figure came into view as usual—it was Wang Lan.

"Brother, you're back! Come and rest for a while!" Before Wang Hao could say anything, Wang Lan, who had keenly noticed the sound, hurriedly put down the phone in her hand and greeted Wang Hao with a warm expression.

She quickly handed him a glass of water as if trying to please him, which made Wang Hao feel a little uncomfortable.

Wang Hao stared at his sister, whose behavior was slightly abnormal, with a suspicious look and said:

"Is there something you need my help with? Tell me what it is first, or I won't feel comfortable drinking this water."

"Oh, no, no, no, brother, how can you underestimate me like that? I'm just being diligent," Wang Lan retorted coquettishly, blinking her eyes playfully with a sly look.

How could Wang Hao not know the little calculations his sister had in mind? So, he didn't respond to her words at all, but stared at Wang Lan with a smile.

Seeing Wang Hao's expression, Wang Lan naturally stopped hiding it and said with a beaming smile:

"Brother, didn't I mention to you before that I wanted to participate in that 'National Culinary Competition'? Who would have thought that you would accept Uncle Tang's invitation yesterday? That really makes me look good!

Especially in front of Yan Yan, it's so impressive! So, I have to thank my dear brother!"

"Oh, so that's what it is. So, this glass of water is your thank you gift?" After understanding the reason, Wang Hao couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.

Actually, the reason why he decided to participate in this competition was purely to complete the task issued by the cheat, and not because he was persuaded by his sister in the conventional sense.

Now that his sister had misunderstood, he didn't bother to clarify it, but he found his sister's way of thanking him both funny and annoying.

Wang Lan, however, put on an air of "I'm right, so whatever I say is right," and nodded vigorously, which made Wang Hao shake his head slightly.

Then, Wang Hao picked up the glass and took a sip of water, and then asked Wang Lan with interest: "How was it at the driving school today? Did you learn anything special?"

After all, for Wang Lan, who was experiencing driving for the first time, everything was so exciting and curious.

As soon as Wang Lan heard her brother ask, she immediately perked up and began to talk animatedly and endlessly about her interesting and challenging day at the driving school.

She described those interesting experiences vividly, even exaggerating a bit, but it was this lively and vivid way of narrating that made people feel as if they were there and feel the joy in her heart.

However, when Wang Hao learned that his sister had practiced at the driving school all day long in order to make full use of the tuition fees she had paid, and had only eaten something casually for lunch, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of helplessness.

The habit of diligence and frugality developed from childhood seemed to have been deeply imprinted in Wang Lan's bones. Even though her living conditions had improved and she had a certain amount of financial strength, this quality had not changed.

However, Wang Hao also understood that the reason why his sister was so diligent in saving money was not out of stinginess or pettiness, but because she sincerely wanted to cherish every hard-earned penny.

He only hoped that his sister could continue to maintain this valuable quality, but at the same time, she should also learn to take care of herself and not always mistreat herself for the sake of saving money.

Only when she insisted on diligence and frugality without affecting her own health and comfort would it be more meaningful and valuable.
