I work as a chef in the university cafeteria

Chapter 254 It's Just a Meal
Jiang Yu didn't expect that Xiong Tiansheng's daughter would become addicted to eating peach shortbread after tasting a few!
"I took two boxes of the peach blossom shortbread you brought me home, and the rest were distributed to Vice President He, Niu Wenlin and the others just like last time."

On the other end of the phone, Xiong Tengsheng's tone seemed quite awkward, probably he was really embarrassed to make this call, but there was no other way, it was all for his daughter.

"As a result, after I took it home, my daughter had just tasted it, and she couldn't bear to put it down. She didn't even have lunch or dinner, so she just ate the peach blossom shortbread.

By yesterday morning, she had eaten all the two boxes of shortbread by herself, and my wife and I didn't even taste a bite.

Who knows, after eating the shortbread, she still didn't give up, pestering me to eat this peach blossom cake, but when I said no more, she cried and told her mother that I didn't like her anymore.

All day yesterday, my head was about to burst from her crying! "

"I thought it was a big deal. What's the matter? Isn't it like this for children, when they meet something they like to eat, they can't help but want to eat it."

After Jiang Yu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and he said comfortingly,

"Ms. Xiong is fine. I just made some peach blossom shortbread yesterday, and there are still some in the cafeteria. Come over and get them now."

After a pause, he smiled again and said,

"The cafeteria has just launched Jiangzhou Mixed Noodles these days. You haven't tried it yet, so you can come over and try something new."

"Uh……"

On the other end of the phone, Xiong Tiansheng hesitated again, looking very embarrassed, after thinking about it, he still said it,

"Xiao Jiang, I might have to get a few more peach blossom shortbreads, because Niu Wenlin and the others also called me to see if you still have peach blossom shortbreads..."

After a pause, he said hastily,

"Xiao Jiang, don't get me wrong, we can pay at the market price, and we definitely can't eat you for free."

Jiang Yu sent them to the door, whether it was the peach blossom shortcakes from last time, or the Qingming fruit from last time, it can be regarded as Jiang Yu's gratitude to Teacher, and gave them something to eat. Of course, there is no need to pay. money.

It would hurt feelings too much if money was mentioned.

But now that Xiong Tiansheng called and wanted it, of course he had to pay for it. After all, Jiang Yu ran a cafeteria and was in the business of selling food, so what was going on?

As a literati, Xiong Tiansheng's moral bottom line is still very high, he simply can't do such a thing.

After hearing Xiong Tiansheng's words, Jiang Yu smiled and said:

"What did Mr. Xiong say? It's just a few shortbreads. What money are you talking about?"

"If you don't charge money, then I won't go to get the shortbread."

On the phone, Xiong Tiansheng was silent for a while, then continued,

"Once or twice is nothing. How can I be ashamed to eat and drink your food for free every time? You run a cafeteria, not a shantang."

"Mr. Xiong, I don't have many shortbread here, so you'd better hurry up and talk about it later."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing, and said to him,

"If you don't come again, don't blame me for the shortbread gone."

"All right, all right, then I'll come over now!"

When Xiong Tengsheng heard this, he panicked. If he couldn't get the shortbread, his daughter would kill him when he got home from work. Thinking about it, his scalp felt numb.

After a pause, he continued,

"But we have agreed, we will pay according to the price at the window of your cafeteria!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. This teacher Xiong is quite principled.

Taking a long breath, he stood up from his chair, ready to have some breakfast.

At noon today, apart from the four boxes that had been reserved in advance, Duan Yiming also wanted a box. He had to go upstairs to prepare the meals for the five boxes.

……

Jiangzhou High-tech Pioneering Park, in a spacious and clean office.

"Mr. He, although our company is a little smaller, our strength is still very good."

Duan Yiming sat behind the large desk, with a smile on his face, talking to a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa,

"In our company's R&D team, there is one doctor, five masters, and the rest are all graduates of top domestic universities such as Peking University, Shuimu University, and Huaxia University of Science and Technology.

Of course, compared with other big companies, this kind of talent is not worth mentioning, but there is a good saying that when employing people, it is more about the skill than the number.

As long as it is used well, a few people can make a big career; if it is not used well, a group of people can't make any outstanding achievements. "

After a pause, he raised his finger and pointed to the various awards and trophies in the locker behind him, and added with a smile,
"Mr. He, look, although our company has only been established for three or four years, we have achieved good results, especially compared with companies of the same type and size, we are definitely in the first echelon."

The Mr. He sitting opposite him is named He Zhengyu. He is 45 years old this year. He graduated from Shuimu University with a major in software engineering. He is a practitioner with working experience in many Internet companies.

Unfortunately, last year He Zhengyu suffered from a serious illness, and it took more than half a year to treat the illness and recuperate his body. Although the original company did not fire him, his original job had already been replaced by someone else. When you enter the company, you can only do some corner work.

He Zhengyu, who has been working for decades and has never been a "hunter", naturally does not want to be a "hustler" again when he is in his 40s, so he resigned from his original unit.

After resigning, He Zhengyu actually didn't think much about finding a job. In fact, he has been engaged in software development for so many years, and he can be considered to have a small fortune. Even if he doesn't work, the savings he saved before are enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

However, Duan Yiming didn't know where he got the news from, and he invited He Zhengyu several times, hoping to invite He Zhengyu to "sit in charge" in the company.

Why does Duan Yiming value He Zhengyu so much?
Just because the other party has been writing code conscientiously since he graduated from university until he was 45 years old, a "technical madman" like He Zhengyu is able to undertake the corporate tasks of "filling holes and clearing mines" and "opening up wasteland" .

As for such a person, none of those doctors and masters in Duan Yiming's company!

If He Zhengyu can join their company, let's not talk about what kind of achievements he can achieve, at least the company's technical strength will definitely rise to a big level!

It is precisely because of this that Duan Yiming looks at He Zhengyu now, like a weasel seeing a chicken, and his saliva is about to flow out. He is really thirsty for talents!

"Mr. Duan, your company is really good, and it can be called a typical example of a small but sophisticated company."

He Zhengyu was wearing a casual suit, and he looked very elegant. The most important thing was that he had been a programmer for more than 20 years. Envious.

He smiled at Duan Yiming and continued,

"Before you came to the company, I also took a tour under the guidance of the front desk lady, and found that the working atmosphere in the company is also quite good, which shows that Duan is always a good boss who cares about the mental state of his subordinates.

However, to be honest, I really have no plans to continue working in software development at this time.

You also know that what we programmers eat is youth food, but I am already 45 years old, and I have no youth for a long time. "

"Mr. He is really too humble. Let's not talk about anything else. The rich work experience and profound technical skills you have accumulated over the past 20 years are a huge asset. If you really don't do this business Well, that would be such a pity.”

Of course Duan Yiming couldn't give up so easily, he continued,
"Mr. He, do you think this is okay? I don't ask you to lead a team to tackle tough problems, you are only responsible for technical guidance, and give me pointers to the group of R&D personnel in our company.

As long as you are willing to join our company, the salary and treatment will never be less than what you get in the first-tier factories!
what do you think? "

To be honest, Duan Yiming paid a lot of money. For a small company like theirs, the salary is definitely not comparable to that of the first-tier Internet companies.

Because the annual profit is not comparable to that of others, and now they have to pay employees the same salary as the first-tier manufacturers. Even if they don't lose money, the profits on the company's account will also shrink significantly.

And this is just to keep He Zhengyu and let him become the company's technical director.

"This, how does this work?"

When He Zhengyu heard this, he was also taken aback, shook his head repeatedly and refused, saying,

"President Duan really thinks highly of me, how can I be as important as you said?"

After a pause, he continued,
"Besides, you are an industry insider yourself, so you shouldn't be too clear about it. Our industry is developing too fast. If we can't keep up with the speed of knowledge updating, even the most powerful 'big cows' will be eliminated.

My previous decades of work experience and technical skills, to put it bluntly, are outdated stuff, and they are not worth much at all. "

"Mr. He, why should you be humble?"

Duan Yiming seldom changed his mind on things he decided on, let alone recruiting "big cows". If he didn't understand clearly, he wouldn't act rashly at all.

Don't listen to He Zhengyu saying that he is so worthless, it's just that he hasn't taken a fancy to Duan Yiming's company yet.

He smiled and continued,
"I heard that Mr. He has conducted very in-depth research in the field of software application development for drones.

And this is precisely the key research direction of our company in the next step. In fact, we have already started work in this area.

If Mr. He can join in, I believe we will definitely be at the forefront of all companies in the field of drone software application development. "

After a pause, he continued,

"If Mr. He is willing to join our company, I can hand over the entire R&D team to you as the deputy general manager and R&D director. I can even give Mr. He 5% of the company's shares in the direction of technology investment! "

With this condition, it's not just a big deal, it's simply bleeding!

You know, Duan Yiming's company has not yet been listed. He owns 100% of the company's shares, and taking out 5% of the dry shares is equivalent to "cutting flesh" on him!
The "meat" has been cut, can there still be "blood"?

Of course, this is also Duan Yiming's greatest sincerity, if the other party still disagrees, then he can only give up.

He Zhengyu was obviously also shocked by this condition. He was stunned for a long while, then shook his head with a wry smile, and said:
"I really appreciate Mr. Duan's attention and love.

But to be honest, my body still needs to rest for a while. If I really plan to continue working in software development by then, I will definitely give priority to your company. "

As soon as Duan Yiming heard this, he understood that although he was willing to "cut the flesh", he obviously looked down on his small company.

It is just an excuse to say that one's body needs to be recuperated. Anyone with a brain can understand the meaning of this sentence.

However, regrets are regrets, and Duan Yiming has nothing to complain about.

He has been hanging around in several first-tier Internet companies. He is not an ordinary programmer, and he has held positions such as the head of the technical department and the R&D director. He looks down on this small company with only a dozen R&D personnel. It's so normal.

"That's fine, Mr. He should take good care of his body first, after all, the body is the capital of the revolution!"

Thinking of this, he smiled, said something quite grandly, and then said with a smile,

"It's almost time for lunch now. Mr. He has come all the way here, so he must let me do my best as a landlord. Today, I will take Mr. He to a good place!"

Upon hearing this, He Zhengyu quickly stood up from his seat, and said politely:

"Ah... Mr. Duan, you are so busy, don't you need to worry about it?"

"Don't bother, no matter how busy I am at work, I still have to eat!"

Duan Yiming laughed loudly and said to him,

"Mr. He, you are really welcome. It's just a meal. Wait a moment, and I'll ask two friends to come and accompany you!"

He Zhengyu couldn't say anything more after hearing what he said.

Mr. Duan was right, anyway, it was just a meal, so could Mr. Duan still force him to stay in the company after eating this meal?
Just think about it and you'll know it's impossible!
So, He Zhengyu sat down with peace of mind, and looked around at this small company that had just been established for three or four years.

Indeed, as Duan Yiming thought, he didn't want to hang out in such a small company, he still hoped to enter a big factory and make some achievements.

Otherwise, he might as well not be in the business.

As for money, he has been working in a major Internet company for more than 20 years. Is he still short of money?
Just as he was thinking about this, Duan Yiming had already finished his phone call. He raised his head to look at him, and greeted him with a smile:
"Mr. He, let's go downstairs. My two friends have already passed by early."

With that said, he got up and walked out from behind the desk with a bag.

Seeing this, He Zhengyu quickly stood up, and the two pushed each other out of the door, and then went straight downstairs.

After the two got into the car, Duan Yiming drove the car slowly out of the Pioneer Park and drove towards Jiangzhou University all the way.

He Zhengyu originally thought that since Duan Yiming wanted to treat him to dinner, there was a high probability that he would go back to the city. In that case, he would save himself a car when going home.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as the car got out of the gate of the Pioneer Park, it actually drove in the opposite direction of the urban area. After driving for a while, it became more and more desolate as it went.

This is He Zhengyu, if it were a young girl, she would have panicked and yelled for Duan Yiming to "stop".

Who knows if you will drag yourself into a ravine and sell it?
"Mr. He, the place we are going now is the Jiangzhou University Park, where the new campus of Jiangzhou University is located."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of He Zhengyu sitting on a chair with a serious face. Duan Yiming was driving the car while looking for something to talk to with a smile. He said,

"As you have seen, the Entrepreneurship Park is actually next to the University Park. For the company, the college students in the University Park are all backup technical talents!

I have already started planning. When the company grows bigger, we will use Jiangzhou University as the base to absorb outstanding students majoring in software development from all universities in the university park.

At that time, the company will regularly hold entrepreneurship competitions, software development competitions and other activities in various universities, and then hire outstanding graduates with generous remuneration. "

"President Duan really has ideas and courage."

After hearing Duan Yiming's introduction, He Zhengyu turned his head to look at him in surprise, nodded and said,

"This way can not only absorb fresh blood for the company, but also maintain the vigorous vitality of the company.

The most important thing is that although it will take a little more time to train novices by yourself, the degree of fit with the company is obviously much stronger than that of employees recruited halfway. "

"That's the reason." Duan Yiming nodded with a smile.

The two chatted all the way, and after a while, the car arrived at the gate of Jiangzhou University.

Duan Yiming saw a white car parked next to the gate at a glance, and He Xiaowei was leaning against the door, squinting his eyes and breathing in the clouds.

He turned the steering wheel in his hand, drove the car over, rolled down the window, and shouted at He Xiaowei:
"Xiaowei, don't just stand there, go in."

"Oh, here we come."

Seeing Duan Yiming coming, He Xiaowei quickly took two puffs of the cigarette in his hand, then threw it on the ground, raised his foot to crush the cigarette butt, and quickly got into the car and followed.

It was almost twelve o'clock at noon, and the Seventh Canteen had already opened for business, and the canteen hall on the first floor was crowded with people and bustling.

A long line passed through the gate from the inside of the cafeteria to a place far outside.

Seeing the scene in front of him, He Zhengyu who just got out of the car was stunned:

This, is this a student cafeteria?
Mr. Duan said to bring himself to a good place to eat, could it be here?
Could it be that he wants me to recall my college days?

He was comparing in a daze, Duan Yiming walked over and explained to him with a smile:

"Mr. He, isn't it surprising? This student canteen business is booming, right?

In fact, there is still a restaurant hidden on the second floor of the cafeteria. The food there is really delicious! "

"Oh, oh, is it?"

He Zhengyu recovered from his ignorance, smiled uncomfortably and said,
"I really didn't expect that there would be a restaurant on the upper floor of the student cafeteria. This boss seems to be unusual."

"It's really unusual, and you'll know in a while."

Duan Yiming smiled, then pointed to Deng Linhui and He Xiaowei who had just walked over, and introduced to him,
"These two are my friends, this is Deng Linhui, and this is He Xiaowei.

Deng Linhui's company is also in the entrepreneurial park, not far from my company. His company is mainly engaged in network security and big data services. "

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Deng Linhui and He Xiaowei again, and said with a smile,

"This is Mr. He Zhengyu He, whom I often mentioned to you before, a senior software engineer."

After a few people exchanged a few pleasantries, seeing that the time was almost up, Duan Yiming led everyone into the No. [-] canteen, passed through the crowded dining area of ​​the canteen, and went straight up the stairs to the second floor.

After sitting down in the "Xia" box, Duan Yiming smiled and said to He Zhengyu:

"Mr. He, this restaurant does not accept individual customers. All boxes can only be reserved in advance, and the dishes are also pre-ordered in advance. Of course, if you have anything you want to eat, you can order it now.

By the way, would Mr. He want some wine?We seldom have a meal together, and drink a little wine to cheer up the fun. "

"It's okay, I eat casually, and I'm not too picky about my food."

He Zhengyu waved his hands again and again after hearing this, and said apologetically,

"As for the alcohol, I'd better not drink it. My health has just improved, and the doctor repeatedly told me not to touch alcohol. I'm really sorry."

Duan Yiming smiled at him and said, "In this case, let's stop drinking, let's have some homemade drinks in the restaurant."

Before a few people chatted a few words, the waiter began to serve the food.

Although He Zhengyu was born in Jiangzhou, he actually grew up, worked and lived in Guangdong. His taste is completely different from that of Jiangzhou, who is heavy on oil and spicy.

Cantonese cuisine pays attention to quality and taste, and the taste is relatively light. It strives to be fresh in the clear and beautiful in the light, and it changes with the changes of the seasons.

Duan Yiming already knew this before, so when he decided to invite He Zhengyu to dinner, he specially ordered a table of Cantonese specialties.

Now, the first dish served by the waiter is Lao Huo Soup, a famous traditional Cantonese dish.

It is a traditional habit of Cantonese people to drink soup before eating.

Traditionally, soup is also a "compulsory course" for housewives in Cantonese. Many housewives have their own unique recipes for making soup. When entertaining relatives and friends, it is very important to choose a good soup.

When eating in a restaurant in Canton, the waiter usually recommends the soup first, and then introduces other dishes.

When the waiter brought the Laohuo soup and carefully placed each cup in front of everyone, the expression on He Zhengyu's face couldn't help being slightly moved.

It's no secret that he is from Cantonese, but when he was able to treat guests to dinner, he also took care of his eating habits as a Cantonese, and specially served an old fire soup first...

President Duan is really caring!
