Brush Up Your Proficiency

Wang Hao stopped reading and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for all the employees.

The kitchen staff were used to seeing Wang Hao around. Someone as talented and hardworking as him was a role model for everyone else. They didn't need to think too much, just follow his example.

Besides, Wang Hao was making lunch for them, which was something they were all eager for. Who would complain about having too good food?

"Congratulations, your cooking skill has overflowed with proficiency + 4. Current total overflow proficiency: 7743"

After Wang Hao finished preparing the food for everyone and was about to go to the front to find Cheng Yufei and Li Nan, Chang Lei appeared in the kitchen.

"Third Boss, I'm really sorry, but there's a very important dinner tonight with some very important people. The person we're meeting loves your cooking, so they specifically requested that you cook it yourself. We really can't refuse, so we have to trouble you. What do you think...?" Although Chang Lei didn't finish his sentence, his meaning was clear.

Wang Hao shrugged nonchalantly and nodded, saying, "I don't mind. It's just cooking a meal. But I have something to do this afternoon and need to go out. I'll be back for dinner."

Coming from the bottom, Wang Hao would never put Chang Lei in a difficult position. He knew all too well that in society, many things are beyond one's control.

Helping others is also helping oneself. Some people may be too arrogant to understand this principle in their entire lives.

Moreover, Wang Hao greatly admired Chang Lei, the manager who was like an older brother, busying himself with almost everything and taking care of all the details.

It was because of his thoroughness that Wang Hao and the other two shareholders could relax and still receive a considerable share of the profits.

Chang Lei said somewhat apologetically. After the kitchen passed the assessment, they had readily allowed Wang Hao to rest for a while. After all, everyone had seen how hard Wang Hao had worked since the opening.

Letting him rest was a consensus reached by the entire restaurant.

Although Wang Hao still showed up at the restaurant on time every day, everyone consciously avoided disturbing him and didn't involve him in any work. That's why Wang Hao received the "disdainful" treatment from Li Qiang and others, all so he could rest well.

In everyone's eyes, although Wang Hao hadn't been involved in much work these past two days, his presence itself was a huge reassurance. Everyone in the kitchen and front hall felt incredibly at ease.

Now, Chang Lei actually broke this tacit understanding formed by the entire restaurant because he couldn't withstand the pressure, and he felt his face flush with embarrassment.

"Manager Chang, what are you doing? You call me Third Boss, so I can't just be called that for nothing."

"Besides, I'm a shareholder of the restaurant. Why wouldn't I do something that makes money? And I'm used to being busy. Now that I've suddenly become idle, I'm really not used to it. It's good to work for a while."

Wang Hao said reassuringly, not asking which important people were being entertained. He was just a cook and didn't need to know so much, nor was it necessary.

Chang Lei heard the sincerity in Wang Hao's words, and Wang Hao's attitude made him feel exceptionally comfortable. He stopped being overly polite and strode towards the front hall.

He brought Cheng Yufei and Li Nan's portions to the office area. Cheng Yufei and Li Nan, who were in the hall, went to the office area on the third floor without Wang Hao having to call them, showing great enthusiasm for eating.

"Feifei, send me the contact information for the place where we recorded the erhu music before," Wang Hao said while tidying up the food as Cheng Yufei and Li Nan appeared.

Cheng Yufei, who had walked over excitedly, said with some confusion when she heard Wang Hao's words, "Why do you want their contact information?"

As Cheng Yufei spoke, she consciously found her seat.

Li Nan also sat down naturally, curiously looking at Wang Hao, and prepared for the meal.

"My hands are a little itchy. I'm thinking of going there this afternoon to play a few tunes and practice," Wang Hao said, revealing his plan.

Now that the kitchen was running smoothly, he had time to improve his other skills. Leaving for an afternoon wouldn't have a big impact on the restaurant.

Cheng Yufei had just asked casually, but she didn't expect to hear that Wang Hao was going to play the erhu again. Her somewhat tired spirits were immediately lifted.

"You're going to play the erhu? I'll take you!" Cheng Yufei responded enthusiastically to Wang Hao's plan, not thinking about what "Shi Wei Tian" would do after Wang Hao left the restaurant, or how to handle it if there were problems in the kitchen that Wang Hao needed to solve.

All she was thinking about now was being able to hear the live version of the erhu music and personally experience the immersive and realistic illusion.

Although she already had several original, high-quality erhu songs, the sound played by the speakers was completely different from Wang Hao's live performance. Now that she had the opportunity to hear it again, she would naturally seize it.

Li Nan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she looked at Wang Hao with a strange expression, obviously having the same thoughts as Cheng Yufei.

Wang Hao frowned slightly as he looked at the two of them, "I estimate I'll be practicing there for the whole afternoon. It wouldn't be appropriate for us to be away from the restaurant this afternoon, would it?"

Wang Hao didn't refuse, but euphemistically spoke from the perspective of the restaurant's operation. Besides, this time he wasn't just going to record music.

The main reason was that he wanted to use the quiet space of the recording studio, which could fully stimulate emotions, so that he could fully display his insights and quickly improve his erhu skills.

Immersing himself in the wonderful artistic conception of the erhu music, like reading, was a very fascinating thing. Once he got excited, it could easily take several hours, and he wouldn't be able to take care of the two of them then.

"It's okay, Lao Chang is here to watch over the restaurant. There won't be any major problems. Let's eat quickly and go!" Cheng Yufei decided directly, regardless of what Wang Hao thought.

Li Nan heard the meaning in Wang Hao's words, but seeing that Cheng Yufei had already said so, she naturally nodded quickly in agreement and said with a smile, "Just practice yours when we get there. You don't have to worry about us. We'll come back in time if there's anything."

Wang Hao, who had felt somewhat helpless after hearing Cheng Yufei's decision, stopped hesitating and nodded slightly in acceptance when he heard Li Nan's considerate words.
