Brush Up Your Proficiency

As the erhu music ended, the two slowly opened their eyes, their faces filled with satisfied smiles. They looked at each other, seeing the same feeling in each other's eyes.

"These tunes are really moving," Cheng Yufei exclaimed.

"Yeah, I feel so much lighter after listening to them, and my mind is clearer. Maybe it's really like what the netizens say, that it can improve so-called 'mental strength'," Li Nan echoed.

They sat there quietly, savoring the feeling from just now.

"Congratulations, you have read an ancient text and gained an insight bonus. Intermediate Reading Proficiency +25, current proficiency: Intermediate Reading 725/1000."

As the notification appeared before Wang Hao's eyes, he automatically woke up from that hazy state. Looking at the increased proficiency of his Reading skill and the page of 'Lao Zhuang' that had been turned, a faint smile appeared on his face.

This kind of clear and visible positive feedback with every step, compared to his previous unsuccessful attempts at losing weight, really gave him plenty of motivation to move forward.

Wang Hao stood up, stretched, and then moved to the back kitchen.

He carefully checked the preparations of the others, and seeing that everything had been prepared according to the previous plan, he nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

"Not bad, keep it up, everyone work hard." He said encouragingly, and told everyone that if they needed anything, they could always have someone call him from the office, and he would come down immediately to help.

Although the back kitchen staff had passed his assessment yesterday, he was still worried, unsure if yesterday's results would apply to all future situations.

Therefore, he hoped that everyone could reasonably arrange their work according to the actual situation. If it really didn't work out, he was still there, reducing unexpected events while preventing everyone from overworking.

After giving his instructions, Wang Hao returned to the third floor, picked up 'Lao Zhuang', and continued reading.

Now the improvement of his Reading skill was getting faster and faster, which was a good thing, but he couldn't be too complacent.

After all, the accumulation of skill proficiency required constant persistence. Nothing was possible overnight.

Although he would unlock the "Star Shift" function in the future, which could raise his new skills by one level, ultimately the overflow proficiency still had to be accumulated little by little.

When Wang Hao woke up from his reading state, he was surprised to find that no one had come to wake him up.

He hurriedly walked out of the office and checked the situation from afar. He saw that everything downstairs was in order and there were no problems, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that mealtime was approaching, he did not return to the office to continue reading, but went straight to the back kitchen, deciding to cook a meal for the employees to make up for the restaurant's staff.

The people in the back kitchen were intently busy when they suddenly saw Wang Hao taking the initiative to come to the back kitchen without being notified, and walking straight to his exclusive stove, seemingly preparing to start cooking.

Li Qiang frowned and complained with a displeased expression: "Haozi, why are you here? No one called you here!

Go back and continue resting, we're here, there's no problem. Compared to yesterday, the number of customers is also significantly less today, we can handle it completely."

They had already reached a tacit understanding, planning to truly "overthrow" Wang Hao today and let him have a good day's rest.

However, what they didn't expect was that Wang Hao seemed to be a workaholic by nature, and actually took the initiative to come to the door.

"I was just thinking that everyone is working hard, so I came here specifically to help you prepare lunch, so you don't have to specifically spare someone to busy with this matter, which saves time and improves efficiency."

Wang Hao walked into the back kitchen, looking at the busy figures of everyone, and felt very gratified in his heart.

When everyone heard this, those who had originally been somewhat critical of Wang Hao's unconscious rest showed bright smiles.

"Haha, this treatment is not bad, Haozi, you have to make more, I'm a little hungry today!" Li Qiang chuckled. Tasting Wang Hao's food was a happy thing, which was already a consensus for everyone.

Now that there was even a chance to taste this happiness at noon, Li Qiang and the entire restaurant were naturally satisfied.

Wang Hao looked at the changes in Li Qiang and the others, and couldn't help but smile.

So, he didn't say anything more and started cooking directly.

"I was wondering what was missing today. As soon as Third Boss's dish aroma came out, I suddenly felt complete!"

A young vegetable cutter stared at the dishes in Wang Hao's pot and couldn't help but sigh.

He was attracted by the rich aroma, as if he could already imagine the deliciousness of this dish.

"That's right, that's right, this taste is too much, even though I haven't eaten it yet, it feels comfortable just smelling it!"

Another young chef echoed. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the aroma into his body.

The two people's comments did not cause blame from others, and everyone nodded in agreement, expressing their approval.

Wang Hao smiled and responded to them, and told them to go busy with other things and not need to help here.

Wang Hao focused on cooking, skillfully stir-frying and seasoning, allowing the ingredients to fully blend and emit an enticing aroma. The entire kitchen was filled with a rich cooking atmosphere, making people salivate.

"Congratulations, your Cooking skill has overflowed proficiency +5, current total overflow proficiency: 7701"

Half an hour later, Wang Hao stored the cooked dishes separately, and took a portion to the third floor, and had a simple meal with Cheng Yufei and Li Nan.

What he found strange was that throughout the meal, the two of them just ate silently, and occasionally glanced at him, both with a look of inquiry.

Noticing the gazes of the two, Wang Hao couldn't help but look himself up and down, and found that there was nothing unusual.

Somewhat unable to understand what they were looking at, he didn't dwell on the matter, after all, how could he easily guess the thoughts of girls.

After finishing his meal quickly, Wang Hao greeted the two and hurried back to the office to continue brushing his skills.

"Just now, looking at him from such a close distance, Wang Hao has really become handsome. The proportions of his features are so harmonious that I can't find any faults," Cheng Yufei also opened the chatterbox after Wang Hao left.

"Indeed, but isn't your staring a little too intense? You made him embarrassed just now," Li Nan complained helplessly.

"You don't understand, this is a method I learned from the internet," Cheng Yufei looked mysterious.
