Brush Up Your Proficiency

At this moment, Cheng Yufei secretly rejoiced because she found that her father's anger seemed to have dissipated almost completely.

Therefore, she decided to seize this opportunity to perform well at the dinner table, not only to please her parents but also to prepare fully to persuade them to invest in the restaurant.

Originally, Cheng Yufei was very confident in getting her parents to invest in the restaurant she and Wang Hao owned, you could say she was almost certain.

However, now that this scandal has occurred, her parents' impression of Wang Hao will probably be greatly reduced, which undoubtedly adds many variables and uncertainties to the whole matter.

Despite this, Cheng Yufei did not give up easily. In order to be able to eat the food made by Wang Hao often, she was determined to push the restaurant matter forward, no matter who came to try and stop her!

If all else failed, she would just use her savings to open a small restaurant.

As dinner progressed into the latter half, Cheng Yufei enthusiastically recounted her experiences at the dinner table.

Cheng Yufei started from the first time she tasted Wang Hao's fried noodles during a live broadcast, all the way to the delicious stir-fry that the three of them enjoyed together at Wang Hao's house at noon today.

As she spoke, she also showed her parents the photos and videos she had taken at the time.

Cheng's father only glanced at them indifferently and then stopped paying attention, but Cheng's mother showed great interest in her daughter's description of the meal.

"That's great! If there is a chance, you can bring that young man to our house as a guest!" Cheng's mother said enthusiastically, looking at her daughter's excited appearance. Her tone was sincere and obviously not out of politeness or consideration for her daughter's feelings.

Next, Cheng Yufei coughed heavily and looked at her parents seriously and said:

"After eating lunch at Wang Hao's house, I had a sudden idea. I thought it was a waste of Wang Hao's talent to be a roadside vendor! Then we discussed it and decided to open a restaurant together."

When Cheng Yufei said this, Cheng's father looked at her with a suspicious look on his face, thinking to himself:

These two are even going to open a restaurant together, wouldn't that mean they'll have more contact in the future? Could there really be something special between them...?

Cheng's father's thoughts were almost written on his face. Seeing this, Cheng Yufei quickly explained, "Dad, don't worry, we are really just pure partners. Don't overthink it!"

Seeing her daughter's affirmative answer, Cheng's father felt a little more at ease, but he couldn't help but urge her, "Feifei, Dad knows you've always been smart and clever, but doing business is not like other things. You need to consider it carefully.

It's not something that can be accomplished just by a moment of impulsiveness, understand?"

Cheng Yufei nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood her father's concerns and instructions.

She continued, "Dad, don't worry! This is something I've carefully considered. We've already discussed it. I'll be responsible for everything, and Wang Hao will only be responsible for the cooking.

I'm not a professional in the restaurant business, but I'll hire a professional restaurant manager to develop detailed business strategies and clarify our respective responsibilities and rights." Cheng Yufei briefly explained the plans she had in mind, and then she continued:

"The restaurant's business model is that I provide the capital and he provides the skills. The specific share ratio has not yet been determined. In this regard, I need you two to help me check it out! What do you say, Mom!" In order to make her parents feel involved, Cheng Yufei had to leave this important link for them to decide.

Cheng Yufei babbled on, praising Cheng's father and mother, and this feeling of being valued and relied upon by her daughter made Cheng's father's expression obviously improve a lot.

Cheng's father felt comfortable hearing this and said, "Since you want to do a business, your parents will definitely support you. If you need money, just ask, but there is one thing."

Cheng's father paused here, seeming to be thinking about how to express his thoughts, and then continued:

"Since we are providing the capital, and you think so highly of this person, then why don't we just hire this Wang Hao to be our chef? Why do we have to give him shares?"

Cheng's father was very much in favor of his daughter opening a physical store, after all, it was more reliable than that主播 (zhubo) that made him worry every day.

In this way, his daughter could be considered to have a proper job. He hoped that his daughter could do things in a down-to-earth manner, instead of being as erratic and unstable as before.

At the same time, as a businessman, he also believed that if they only hired Wang Hao as a chef, then they could better control costs and risks, and avoid potential disputes caused by equity issues.

However, Cheng Yufei did not expect her father to have such an idea, to change the partnership into an employment relationship, which she had not expected.

The difference between the two was too great, even if Wang Hao agreed, such a relationship would definitely not last long. She had personally experienced Wang Hao's skills, and with her many years of experience, she had never encountered anything like it.

If the store's business becomes prosperous in the future, it is hard to guarantee that other competitors will not poach Wang Hao with higher salaries. At that time, not only will the losses be great, but it will be difficult to say whether she will be able to eat Wang Hao's food in the future!

Cheng Yufei quickly and firmly expressed her point of view: "That's not okay, Dad. We had already agreed to open a restaurant together. How can I tell Wang Hao if you say that!

Aren't you making me lose my credibility? Wang Hao's cooking skills are really amazing. Giving him shares is definitely the right choice!" Her tone revealed a sense of anxiety, looking at Cheng's father with a "please" expression.

In fact, things were indeed like this, after all, Wang Hao had the magical cooking skills that could make even people with anorexia want to eat.

After a round of communication, the father and daughter finally reached an agreement on the matter of whether or not to open a restaurant. Cheng's father instructed Cheng Yufei that if she decided to do it, she must make the restaurant bigger, and not be petty. Moreover, he was quite supportive of his daughter's idea.

However, when it came to the issue of Wang Hao's shares, Cheng's father was determined not to budge, as if he had his own ideas.

Although Cheng Yufei had tried her best to praise Wang Hao's cooking skills, Cheng's father was unwilling to agree.

There was no way, Cheng Yufei could only wait for Wang Hao to come back, and then find a way to change her father's mind with practical actions!
