Strictly speaking, the other five or six chefs are working for Chef Ma Chengyan and are responsible for some less important cooking processes.

Ma Chengyan remembered Li Yan's advice that the cooking process can be passed on to other chefs, but the core recipe of the sauce must not be revealed.

Zhou Zhenye bought a chef, but failed to get the expected effect, and the money was basically wasted.

Although Yu was unwilling, the interests of businessmen were paramount, and he couldn't watch the branch continue to lose money, so Zhou Zhenye made a decision immediately. Ordered the closure of the branch of the Normal University to temporarily avoid Li Yan's edge.

The real taste is closed, and the more high-end restaurants around Jiangnan Normal University are left with fake taste, and the rest are some food stalls that do not enter the stream.

The size of the restaurant has been expanded, the capacity has been greatly increased, and the demand for seats has eased, but reservations are still required, otherwise it will be difficult to get a seat a little later.

Li Yan began to look for a store for the second branch, and continued to fight with Zhenwei. He made up his mind that he would never stop if he didn't scare the other party down!

After wandering on the street for two days, Li Yan finally decided on the location of the branch, which was near the small commodity street. There is a real taste there, and less than 20 meters away from the real taste, there is a store for rent.

According to the rental advertisement, Li Yan made an appointment with the shopkeeper to meet in the café and went to the store to conduct a field survey, with an area of about 240 square meters. In the end, it was rented at a monthly rent of 32,000.

Zhou Zhenye stared at the fake taste's every move, and soon learned that Li Yan was going to open a branch, and even the store had been rented, and like the previous one, it was also close to the real taste chain store.

"It's too much to deceive, it's too much to deceive!"

In the office of the headquarters of True Taste Catering, Zhou Zhenye swept all the things on the table to the ground, like an angry lion.

Deputy General Manager Wang Ke's expression is also ugly, the manager of the chain store on the small commodity street is his own brother, Li Yan is doing this, it is likely that this branch will be difficult to support for a long time, and his brother may be fired at that time.

After venting, Zhou Zhenye calmed down a little, and said with a pale face: "Immediately convene an emergency meeting of the management above the ministerial level!"

He doesn't believe that the old brand of Zhenwei Catering for more than 20 years will be subject to a small fake taste, and there will always be a solution with the wisdom of everyone.

When Zhou Zhenye was having a headache, Li Yan was also worried, what he was worried about was not the future business of the branch. It's about not finding the right manager.

To make a restaurant, you must first have a chef who is hard enough, and this alone is enough to make Li Yan worry for a while.

Even if you recruit a chef, you need to have a store manager, just like a ship sailing on the sea, you can't do without a helmsman who controls the direction.

A qualified store manager can manage the restaurant in an orderly manner, ensure the quality of service of the staff, and attract more customers.

On the contrary, if the store manager is unqualified, the management level cannot keep up, and no matter how delicious the food is, it will be difficult for the business to last.

Considering these things, Li Yan realized that he thought about opening a restaurant too simply, and the reason why the first store was successful was entirely because of the favorable time, place and people, and this time the first thing to solve was the problem of manpower.

Returning to the dormitory with a head full of worries, the three of them were preparing for their graduation thesis, and they were all rarely serious.

The topic of his graduation thesis has been decided, and Li Yanxuan's topic is a preliminary exploration of the development of the online game industry, and he has already greeted Qin Hao. The other party made it clear that everything was left to him to handle, and Li Yan didn't need to do it himself.

This is the advantage of having a helper, and it is not an ordinary right-hand man, Qin Hao can sit in today's position, his writing is definitely not weak, and it is more than enough to write a graduation thesis.

"Lao Li, seeing that you have been running around outside for the past two days, and you have not seen anyone all day, what are you busy with?" asked Lao Zhangtou without turning around.

"There are some things, I am going to open a second fake taste restaurant, the store has been rented, and the renovation is underway. ”

Li Yan said, lying heavily on the bed, he was tired in the past few days.

The three of them were taken aback, and Chen Zhijun asked in surprise: "Opening a branch so soon, will the steps be too big, be careful of pulling the eggs!"

"Didn't Fake Taste just expand a few days ago, and I'm going to open a second one, so I'm in a hurry. Lao Wang let go of the mouse and frowned.

"It's really a bit too anxious, and there is no problem with the funds, but I can't find the right people to manage the new restaurant. Li Yan sighed and said.

These things should have been prepared in advance, but he lacked business experience and rented a store without careful consideration, and now he can only catch ducks on the shelves and find a way to recruit people as soon as possible.

briefly talked about the problems encountered with the three people. Lao Wang thought for a moment and hesitated and said, "I have a candidate, I don't know if I should say it or not." ”

Li Yan sat up abruptly and hurriedly said, "Where are there so many scruples between us, you just have to say who is the candidate!"

"Then I'll say it. Lao Wang smiled and said: "Xiaolin learned that I was interning in the rock pharmaceutical industry, and she also wanted to find an internship unit, her family runs a supermarket, and it shouldn't be a problem to manage the restaurant." ”

Li Yan looked stunned, he didn't expect Zhao Xiaolin before, this girl has a cheerful personality, and she may really be qualified for the position of store manager.

Seeing that Li Yan didn't react, Lao Wang thought he was dissatisfied, and immediately explained: "I don't mean anything else, I just want Xiaolin to exercise in advance, and you can find other jobs." ”

Li Yan waved his hand and said: "Being virtuous does not shy away from relatives, I think Zhao Xiaolin can indeed give it a try, and I can't find a more suitable person for the time being." ”

Lao Wang is overjoyed, if Zhao Xiaolin can sit firmly in the position of store manager, he will not have to look for other jobs after graduation in the future, and he will not have to look at the face of his boss, and the two of them can still work in the same city.

With his relationship with Li Yan, Zhao Xiaolin will definitely not be wronged when she works in Fake Taste, and her treatment will not be bad.

The other side. Zhou Zhenye held an emergency meeting for more than an hour, and more than a dozen middle and high-level executives of Zhenwei Catering attended the meeting, and everyone expressed their opinions, but they didn't come up with a feasible solution, which made him anxious.

If it weren't for taking care of the face of the middle and senior executives, Zhou Zhenye would have slammed the table and left, and it is very rare to be able to pretend to be calm and hold the whole meeting.

Zhou Qiming was also one of the participants in the meeting, and secretly scolded these executives in his heart for being waste, and one was faster than the other when it came to taking benefits. I really encountered a problem, and none of them were useful.

After the meeting ended, he entered the chairman's office and gave his father a very shady idea.

If there is no complete necessity, Zhou Zhenye does not want to use radical means to deal with Li Yan, but the development speed of fake taste is too fast, if it is not stifled in time, after a period of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to stop the momentum of development.

After a little thought, Zhou Zhenye adopted his son's suggestion and planned to give the fake taste a head-on blow.

The next day, Li Yan first went to the branch to see the progress of the renovation, and then went to the driving school.

This time, I didn't meet Yin Xiaoya and them, except for lunch. Li Yan stayed in the training ground to prepare for the upcoming subject 2 exam.

Driving safety is an issue that cannot be ignored, and Li Yan does not dare to be sloppy in practicing the car, otherwise he will be the one who will be pitted in the future.

Rock Pharmaceutical gave him a business Audi, and Ye Wanqing proposed to give Li Yan a full-time driver, but he vetoed it.

When he got out of the car to rest, Li Yan received a call from He Yutian, which surprised him, this girl rarely took the initiative to call in the past.

"Miss, I don't know what to tell you to find a villain?" Li Yan said with a smile.

He Yutian's familiar voice sounded on the other end. said: "Li Yan, I heard that your restaurant was recruiting chefs before, I want to ask, is there still a shortage of people now?"

Li Yan raised her eyebrows, not understanding why she suddenly asked this, but still said: "I plan to open a second branch of Fake Taste, and now I am worried about not being able to find a chef, do you have any recommendations?"

"That's great, my brother has a few comrades-in-arms who have retired from the army's cooking class and want to find a job as a cook, let me help ask, if there is a vacancy there, can you help me arrange it?"

This timely rain came at a really good time, someone sent a pillow if you wanted to sleep, Li Yan grinned, and agreed without saying a word, which not only solved the manpower problem, but also made He Yutian's brothers and sisters owe themselves a favor.

The army's cooking squad cooks for the soldiers, and the cooking skills are generally not too bad, so they can be sent to Ma Chengyan and let him train for a period of time before taking up his post.
