Brush Up Your Proficiency

Su Mo Dan understood Zhu Cong's goodwill and nodded slightly, responding with gratitude, "Director Zhu, thank you for your high praise and trust. Please rest assured that we will do our best to improve the quality of our service and will definitely not let you down!"

At this moment, Su Mo Dan's face radiated an unusual brilliance. Her confidence made Zhu Cong sigh inwardly. The Su family's most talented woman was indeed a dragon among people!

It was not easy to receive such public praise from someone in a high position like Zhu Cong.

For public officials, one must be cautious in words and deeds, as any carelessness could be seized upon by malicious individuals.

Zhu Cong, as a veteran in this field, was well aware of the stakes, yet he still spoke so openly.

This showed that Zhu Cong's appreciation for Su Mo Dan was extraordinary, and it also fully demonstrated his firm confidence in his own ability to recognize talent.

As this significant inspection was about to conclude, Zhu Cong finally couldn't suppress his thoughts and said,

"Before I leave, please forgive me for making a presumptuous request. I wonder if you could introduce me to the chef who prepared the dishes we just had?

I'm truly curious about the chef who can create such delicious and visually appealing food. I'd really like to know what kind of person he is!" After Zhu Cong finished speaking, he looked at Su Mo Dan with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

You should know that people like him who have been running around in this industry for a long time encounter a lot of problems. Hardware problems are easier to solve, but the culinary arts are a major issue.

If he could get to know such a skilled chef, it would provide a new solution to his future problems, and its impact would be significant.

However, upon hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Su Mo Dan's face.

After all, Wang Hao was not strictly speaking her subordinate. Although she had offered sufficient compensation for his help, she still felt embarrassed and reluctant to ask him to come out and socialize.

However, after much deliberation, the conflicted Su Mo Dan finally decided to agree.

After all, Zhu Cong's words, full of trust and encouragement, made it difficult for her to refuse directly.

Since he had shown so much goodwill, wouldn't it be too unkind to refuse outright? Moreover, it would be like slapping him in the face in public.

So, she turned to look at Song Ling, intending to ask her to go to the kitchen and invite Wang Hao, but she was surprised to find Song Ling looking hesitant, which puzzled her, and she looked at Song Ling with confusion.

Standing beside her, Song Ling naturally heard Zhu Cong's words, but she remembered Zhan Luo's report that "Wang Hao had already left." At that time, it was a crucial point in the final stages, and she couldn't immediately tell her boss, thinking it would be better to wait until things were over.

But she didn't expect Zhu Cong to make such a request now.

Song Ling carefully leaned close to Su Mo Dan's ear, lowered her voice, and softly told her that Wang Hao had already left.

"What! Master Wang has already left?" Su Mo Dan exclaimed involuntarily upon hearing this news, her face full of surprise and disbelief.

These words happened to be heard by Zhu Cong, who was standing nearby. He had been looking forward to meeting and communicating with this chef, but upon hearing this news, his heart skipped a beat, and he instantly felt that it would not be easy to see this chef again.

Su Mo Dan seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit excessive, so she quickly calmed herself down and then asked Song Ling for details about Wang Hao's departure.

She wondered if it was because she hadn't been hospitable enough, causing Wang Hao to leave in anger? If that were the case, it would truly be a case of extreme joy turning to sorrow and being penny-wise and pound-foolish.

However, when she learned that Wang Hao had left because "Shi Wei Tian" had matters to attend to, and that the work here had been successfully completed, Su Mo Dan's heart finally relaxed a little.

It was a great thing that she hadn't offended him.

She could accept this reason, as it was indeed as he said. When she learned that Wang Hao hadn't mentioned anything about payment, it further proved her correct assessment of Wang Hao as someone who didn't care much about money.

For Su Mo Dan, who was accustomed to using money and conditions to pave the way, she didn't have many ways to deal with people like Wang Hao, but she still admired them.

However, the fact that he had someone relay a message instead of coming to her himself made Su Mo Dan feel that she hadn't received enough respect, which made her a little angry.

However, this emotion was fleeting, and Su Mo Dan quickly realized that her performance had been a bit out of line, so she quickly adjusted her emotions and returned to her previous calm demeanor.

She looked at Zhu Cong with a slightly apologetic expression and said with some difficulty,

"Director Zhu, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. Chef Wang, who prepared the dishes just now, has already left after finishing his work. Please don't take it to heart. I will definitely introduce you to him next time I have the opportunity."

"It's okay, it's understandable that the older generation is a bit unconventional. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future." Zhu Cong didn't show any displeasure when his idea fell through.

After all, the "Zhi Zhen Yuan" restaurant was here, and there would always be opportunities to meet again.

Moreover, judging from what Su Mo Dan said, it seemed that this old master was not someone they could easily restrain.

But thinking about it, that made sense. A master with such culinary skills could find a foothold anywhere, so how could he be controlled by a restaurant, even if it was a quasi-five-star restaurant?

The principle of "one trick to eat all over the world" applies everywhere!

Seeing that Zhu Cong didn't show any anger, Su Mo Dan also admired his high EQ. He must have his own set of principles for being in this industry for so many years.

However, the "old master" he mentioned made her a little dumbfounded. After all, Wang Hao's information showed that he was only in his early thirties, but he was being called "old master" by someone in their fifties, which was somewhat comical.
