Chapter 1878: Putting the Right Person in the Right Position

Gu Zhihao did not stand on ceremony at all, retorting directly: "You old thing, you don't study and you don't see people; you've gone senile."

"Although I don't know what a consultant is, the working hours are flexible, and with a high salary, do you think this position could be small?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Litou thought it made sense!

Although what his old friend said made sense, he still felt very uneasy in his heart about taking more money without knowing what to do.

Lao Litou had never been afraid of hardship or toil his whole life, only of things being unclear.

Before the meeting was even over, he was already impatient.

In fact, it wasn't just him who didn't understand; not a single person at the meeting understood what a consultant did.

But someone pretended to understand: "A consultant is someone who manages nothing and just takes money without doing any work..."

Lao Litou became a bit anxious; they wouldn't let him do anything, and they were giving him money for nothing?

Perhaps if this happened to someone else, they would be very happy, but he was not willing.

Zichen said at this moment: "Starting from today, Consultant Li is responsible for teaching everyone knife skills. You all should follow along and learn well. I am paying the money, but the skills you acquire are your own."

When the chefs heard this, it turned out to be like this; he had found a teacher for them.

Of course they were willing to have this good thing; once the skills were acquired, they were their own, and no one could take them away.

Consequently, everyone immediately broke into enthusiastic applause, and even the way they looked at the old man became kind and respectful.

Lao Litou understood now too; letting him be a teacher was fine.

It was just guiding the chefs to cook, without needing to show his face in front of people; this was indeed more suitable for him.

Teaching was one aspect, but it mainly relied on one's own diligent study and hard practice. Although he possessed great skills, they were not based on technique, and there were no shortcuts to be taken.

Thus, Lao Litou transformed into the consultant of Phoenix Restaurant. Not only did he not have to perform in public in the glass kitchen, but he also had his own separate office.

Calling it an office, it was actually a lounge, convenient for him to rest whenever he was tired.

Gu Zhihao was also very happy; now it was convenient for the two old brothers to get together more often when they had nothing to do.

After work, Lao Litou went home happily, preparing to share this joy with his daughter.

But his daughter was not at home, and there was an extra envelope on the table.

He opened the envelope and pulled out a thin sheet of letter paper, with only a few sparse lines of text.

Dad:

I have gone out to work and won't be coming home for a while. A restaurant owner has opened a new restaurant and asked me to be a partner; I don't need to invest and will get a share of the profits.

When I come back after making money, you won't have to work hard anymore and can just enjoy a comfortable life at home.

Daughter

Xue'er

Lao Litou was furious; his original joyful mood was wiped away, all replaced by anxiety.

What was his daughter trying to do?

As a young girl, she didn't know at all how dangerous the outside world was. Did she think she wouldn't be deceived just because she didn't need to invest?

Lao Litou hurriedly dialed his daughter's phone number, wanting her to come back. He was very afraid that she would turn off her phone and make him unable to contact her.

If that were the case, he would immediately call the police.

The phone rang only twice before it connected. Li Xueer's voice was slightly dissatisfied: "Dad, didn't you see the letter I wrote?"

"I saw it. You brat, where are you? Get home to me immediately!"

"I'm not coming back. I'm doing quite well now. I rented an Apartment outside, and I won't be coming back to live for this period of time."

"No, you aren't coming back unless you cut off our father-daughter relationship and don't want me as your father anymore!"

"Can you stop being unreasonable? It's my freedom to go out and work, don't you worry about it."

At this moment, Lao Litou heard a man's voice on the other end and was immediately struck as if by lightning!

This voice was too familiar; even if it turned to ash, he would still be able to recognize it.

"Li Xue, get back here immediately. If you don't come back, just wait to collect my corpse."

Lao Litou suddenly flew into a rage, and after roaring, he hung up the phone.

Although Li Xueer didn't know why her father was suddenly angry, she knew her father's personality; what he said he could do, he would truly do. She immediately went home.

As soon as she entered the door, she was slapped by her father.

"Slap"!

The loud slap stunned Li Xue.

After a long while, she finally reacted, covering her face in disbelief: "You hit me? What right do you have to hit someone?"

From childhood to adulthood, no matter what kind of trouble she caused, her father had never been willing to hit her even once.

Now he slapped her without asking for the reason?

No, she couldn't stand such a grievance.

Li Xueer was hit and ran out crying, and at this moment, Lao Litou had long since regretted it.

He shouldn't have hit his daughter; his daughter didn't know about the past, she was just being used by someone.

He fiercely slapped himself across the face.

His daughter's phone was turned off and could no longer be reached. She must be angry with him; he knew that, but he just didn't know what to do.

——————————————————————————————

Caifeng Restaurant.

The red cloth on the plaque was unveiled, and the four large characters made Li Xueer feel very uncomfortable.

"Why is it called such a strange name? It's too ugly, change it."

But her partner disagreed: "It cannot be changed. The name was chosen with great effort, and I have been lying in wait for three years just to use this name."

"Psychopath." Li Xueer glared at him with disdain.

Huo Zhenteng did not care; a little girl, even more naive than his niece, was still very easy to control. Besides, being scolded a couple of times wouldn't make him lose any flesh, so it didn't matter.

He wanted Sheng Zichen to be in great pain and to take back everything he had lost.

The restaurant opened, and in order to expand its influence, Huo Zhenteng spared no cost in advertising everywhere; soon, almost everyone in the industry knew about the newly opened restaurant called Caifeng Restaurant.

The dishes in their restaurant were similar to those at Phoenix Restaurant, but the prices were only half as much.

Their main selling point for this launch was Li Xueer.

Li Xueer performed cooking, turning from the signature of Phoenix Restaurant into the signature of Caifeng Restaurant!

With such advertisements being run, it was impossible for Phoenix Restaurant to say it had no impact at all.

The number of people booking tables at the restaurant plummeted, while the booking phone line at Caifeng Restaurant was almost blown up!

The person most annoyed was Lao Litou.

He felt too embarrassed to stay at Phoenix Restaurant any longer, so he went to Zichen's office again to resign.

Zichen did not agree and even persuaded him not to take it too seriously, saying that Huo Zhenteng was like a grasshopper after the autumn frost and wouldn't be able to jump around for many more days.

Li Xueer was also being deceived by him and would see the truth sooner or later.

The more reasonable the boss was, the worse Lao Litou felt inside, and at this moment, Li Xueer was also arguing with Huo Zhenteng.

"What do you mean? Why is our menu exactly the same as Phoenix Restaurant's? So you found me just to go against Sheng Zichen, right?"

"That's right, didn't you agree to it too?" Huo Zhenteng said with a cold, mirthless smile.

"I agreed because I wanted fair competition, I didn't say I wanted to step on them. No, I don't agree."

"You don't agree?"

Huo Zhenteng was so angry he laughed: "Miss, don't think that just because I said you're a partner, you really consider yourself a big shot. You only contributed your skills as shares; just manage your own area, you don't need to worry about anything else."
