Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 512: Chapter 508: The Hotel’s Chef Selection (Part 1, Subscription Requested)

Everyone looked towards the door, only to see a man in a white chef’s uniform leading a large group of chefs walking in.

Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Bai Tang whispered beside him, ”Mr. Ye, this is Head Chef Dai Ming.”

Ye Chen nodded and looked at Dai Ming.

”Are you the hotel’s head chef?”

Dai Ming snorted coldly, ”That’s right, I heard you fired my daughter.”

”Yes, she violated hotel rules by playing games during work hours, so I fired her. Do you have a problem with that?”

Dai Ming snorted coldly, ”Hmph, it was her first offense, and you fired my daughter without asking for reasons. Do you still want this kitchen to function?”

The room fell into deathly silence.

Watching the tensions rise between the two sides, no one dared to speak.

Dai Ming acted more arrogantly than the manager in the hotel; in the past, Wei Xian used to handle him with the utmost care, like coaxing a grandfather.

Ye Chen said coldly, ”Are you threatening me?”

Dai Ming snorted coldly, ”I’m not threatening you; I’m warning you. If my daughter doesn’t come to work, then the kitchen won’t operate.”

At this moment, Bai Tang became flustered, ”Master Dai, can we please talk this out calmly?”

The other employees also looked at Ye Chen.

After all, the head chef of a hotel is very important.

Especially now that Wanbao Hotel is facing internal and external troubles, if Dai Ming left the hotel, it would be an even bigger blow to the hotel.

Everyone thought Ye Chen would compromise with Dai Ming.

But to everyone’s surprise, Ye Chen said calmly, ”If that’s the case, you don’t need to come to work either. As for your apprentices, those who wish to stay can stay, and those who want to leave with Master Dai, I won’t stop you; rest assured your severance pay will be returned to you in full.”

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, everyone was stunned.

Even Dai Ming was taken aback.

He never imagined Ye Chen would be so firm and directly cut ties with him.

”You... without me, who will come to this rundown restaurant to eat?” Dai Ming snorted coldly.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”I believe that without you, the hotel will develop even better. Alright, the problem is solved now. You can leave.”

Saying this, Ye Chen glanced at Dai Ming’s disciples, ”You can also decide now.”

Those disciples were all dumbfounded.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

Normally, as long as the master intervened, the boss would comply obediently with the master’s words.

But today?

Dai Ming can leave.

He can indeed thrive anywhere, but they don’t believe it.

Dai Ming can’t possibly take them all with him when he switches jobs, can he?

Dai Ming took a deep breath, ”Fine, don’t regret it, come with me.”

Saying this, Dai Ming turned to leave.

But those disciples of his just stood there.

”What are you doing standing there?” Dai Ming said angrily.

At this moment, a young man, looking troubled, said, ”Master, you can leave, but we can’t.”

”What did you say?” Dai Ming’s face instantly turned cold.

”Master, if we leave with you, can you find us such a good job?” a young man said.

”This!” Dai Ming was also troubled.

If it were one or two, perhaps he could manage, but so many of them, what restaurant would hire so many chefs?

But these are people he painstakingly trained.

”Master, you’d better go by yourself; we will stay,” the second apprentice also said.

”You all.” Dai Ming never expected that his disciples would betray him so directly.

Suddenly, Dai Ming felt a tightness in his chest and collapsed to the ground.

”Master, are you okay?

”Master...”

The ambulance came and took Dai Ming away, but surprisingly, none of his disciples went with him to the hospital.

After all, no one is against money.

Wanbao Hotel offers the highest salary in the industry.

If they left, it would be hard to find such high salaries again.

Ye Chen looked at these chefs and said calmly, ”In the past, I didn’t care about the rules Dai Ming set in the kitchen; starting today, they’re all abolished. I will appoint a new head chef. If anyone dares to cause trouble in the kitchen or form cliques, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Feeling the imposing aura from Ye Chen, Dai Ming’s disciples all trembled.

Ye Chen had already considered a candidate, and it was Li Xiangxiang from the Star University Culinary Department.

Li Xiangxiang is the head of the chef class.

She has loved cooking since childhood and is a great cook.

However, her academic performance was never good.

Originally, after failing her college entrance exam this time, she planned to open her own restaurant, but unexpectedly, she got admitted to Star University.

Li Xiangxiang was attending college while also enrolling in a culinary class in Modu, and she never expected Star University to have a culinary class.

Here, there is a group of students passionate about cooking.

They exchange culinary skills and study cuisine together.

Although it’s only been a little over a month, her culinary skills have greatly improved.

A few days ago, in a culinary competition organized by the Hua Country Culinary Association, her dish easily won first place.

Ye Chen directly obtained Li Xiangxiang’s information from Lin Shiyin.

To Ye Chen’s surprise, Li Xiangxiang was selling jewelry at a jewelry store.

It turned out that Li Xiangxiang’s family wasn’t wealthy, so she had to work part-time during school.

Ye Chen found the Jinfu Jewelry Store.

As soon as he entered, the eyes of the service staff at the door lit up.

Everyone saw that Ye Chen just drove a Lykan HyperSport here.

Moreover, his suit and Patek Philippe watch on his wrist showcased his status.

Ye Chen walked over, and a crowd of sales attendants immediately surrounded him.

”Handsome, what do you need?”

”Handsome, can I introduce you to something?”

...

Ye Chen, however, looked towards the quiet Li Xiangxiang.

Li Xiangxiang looked very pure, with a very sweet and innocent feeling.

With a ponytail, wearing a work uniform, she appeared very quiet.

Ye Chen walked out from the group of sales and headed straight for Li Xiangxiang.

Li Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment upon seeing Ye Chen.

”Principal Ye, is that you?”

Ye Chen nodded, ”You are Li Xiangxiang, right.”

Li Xiangxiang nodded respectfully.

All the students of Star University were grateful to Principal Ye.

Because Ye Chen helped them achieve their dreams.

Ye Chen smiled, ”I want to buy some jewelry.”

Seeing that Ye Chen had actually found Li Xiangxiang and it seemed they knew each other, the other sales were filled with envy and jealousy.

”Mr. Ye, what kind of jewelry do you want?” Li Xiangxiang asked somewhat nervously.

”Bring me the most expensive piece you have in the store.”

Li Xiangxiang was momentarily stunned.

”Sir, wait a moment. I will go get the store manager.”

Ye Chen looked at the innocent girl and said speechlessly, ”Girl, are you silly? You earn commissions from what you sell. If you hand me to the store manager, the commission goes to them, not you.”

”But I only sell low-end goods, and I’m not familiar with the high-end ones.”

”If you’re not familiar, you can learn slowly. Bring it over, and I’ll take a look.”

Li Xiangxiang shyly nodded and turned to the counter to get the most expensive jewelry.

But the person who returned was not Li Xiangxiang, but a middle-aged woman.
