On the evening of September 22, around 10:30.

In the corner of the renovated hall of Xinzhuang Flavor Garden, Zhou An was drinking tea alone, without using any tall tea utensils, just a double-walled glass cup with some green tea leaves brewed in the cup.

This summer, he has obviously tanned a lot, and his appearance has become a lot rougher, with erect hair, sparse beard, and casual clothing, simple T-shirt, jeans and leather sandals.

At first glance, no one will see that he is a self-made tyrant.

A pair of naturally melancholy eyes are brighter and more energetic than before.

Facial lines are also more pronounced than before.

I have to say that his current appearance and temperament are very different from the same period in his previous life, and the calm air on his body now may not be possessed by many adults in their thirties.

At this time, there were still three or four tables of guests dining in the hall of Xinzhuang Weiyuan, but Zhou An didn't pay attention to it, he had already run through a few stores under his name tonight, and had just come back from the old store in Yinma County, and he was already feeling a little tired physically and mentally.

As for Liang Yu, who drove him, he just went out to smoke.

Squinting his eyes and taking a sip of tea, Zhou An suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him, listening to the sound, it was slightly light, not like Liang Yu's heavy footsteps.

He didn't look back, he didn't bother to move.

Two seconds later, a faint fragrant breeze passed by him, and a white jade hand pulled the chair opposite him and sat down, and Zhou An saw that it was Yao Jing.

At this time, Yao Jing tilted her head to look at him with a smile and quipped, "What's the matter?"

Zhou An smiled faintly, "It doesn't matter if I'm tired or not, are you still used to working here recently?"

That's right, about ten days ago, Yao Jing quit her original job and came here to work.

When she was about to resign, she gave the reason: "How can I say that I am also one of the owners of this hotel, I am the boss myself, and I still work for others?

That's what she said, and that's what she did.

A few days after saying that, she quit her original job and came here to hang the name of a vice president, and she intervened in the affairs of the front hall and kitchen.

In this regard, Zhou An doesn't care.

Because he could see that Yao Jing was not meddling in these things, she didn't want to seize power, she just wanted to find something to do, and she didn't want to do nothing.

"What's not used to doing things in your own shop, right?"

Answering casually, she leaned forward slightly, her attention didn't seem to be on the question just now, but asked Zhou An with interest, "By the way, Anzi, in a few days it will be the day of Jin Ke and Xiaoxue's big day, have you thought about what gift to give?"

Zhou An smiled dumbly, and asked rhetorically: "What about you, what are you going to send?"

They are talking about the marriage of Shen Jinke and Tong Xue.

After a period of dating, the two are finally ready to get married.

As far as Zhou An knows, their wedding photos have been taken, and the banquet has been set.

Not in Zhuangweiyuan, nor in the two crayfish branches under his name, but in a five-star hotel.

It's not that Shen Jinke and Tong Xue don't want to take care of the business of their own store and Zhou'an's store, but whether it is Zhuangweiyuan or Zhou'an's crayfish shop, they are not suitable for a decent wedding banquet.

Zhuang Weiyuan's main focus is farm food, and Zhou An's two branches in the urban area focus on crayfish, if Shen Jinke and Tong Xue are from ordinary families, they can barely hold banquets in these two places.

But are they from ordinary families?

You must know that Shen Jinke's father is the former deputy mayor, and Tong Xue is also from an official family, both of them have the identity of a head and a face, and their combination will inevitably have a lot of people with heads and faces to attend, so they set the wedding banquet in a five-star hotel, and Zhou An can fully understand.

Yao Jing: "I, don't care what I'm going to send, I'm the first to ask, tell me what you're going to send, tell me quickly!"

Zhou An smiled slightly, "Lady first, you better say it first!"

Yao Jing glanced at him, "Are you a man?

Zhou An was not ashamed, "Otherwise, how do you say it should be carried forward?"

Yao Jing was curious about what he was going to send, and for Zhou An, whether she was curious or not, he just treated her as if she was looking for him to talk nonsense, gags, and nonsense, he felt very relaxed.

The real reason is that he hasn't figured out what to give it to yet.

The two were having a good time, and a man in black trousers and a white shirt came in from outside the door, holding a leather bag under his arm, walked quickly to Zhou An's side, and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, I have an eyebrow to find someone!"

This man is in his early thirties, with a long lanky face and a pair of signature striking ears, and he is neatly organized.

He is Zhou An's current personal assistant Mi Fei.

Hearing this, Zhou An smiled and nodded approvingly: "Okay!"

Yao Jing looked at Mi Fei with a smile on her face, hesitated slightly, she got up and said goodbye, "You should have something to say, right? Then I'll go to work first, you guys talk slowly!"

"Mr. Yao go slowly!" Mi Fei nodded slightly.

Zhou An smiled and didn't say anything.

As soon as Yao Jing left, Zhou An stretched out his hand and motioned for Mi Fei to sit in Yao Jing's seat just now, Mi Fei was not polite, after sitting down, while putting the brown leather bag under his armpit on the table, he reported to Zhou An with a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhou, you know New Oriental, right? I am looking for a backbone teacher there this time, I have seen the level of cooking when he teaches students, I think it is very good, there is a set! Of course, how to be specific, I have to look at it, I have made an appointment with him, tomorrow at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, come here to try the food!" What do you think of the rest, wait until after the food tasting?"

He was talking about a task given to him by Zhou An a few days ago - to find a chef with good cooking skills and certain management skills.

This is the third branch that Zhou An has planned for him, preparing the head chef.

Originally, he should have done such a thing by himself.

But now that he has an assistant, he handed over the preliminary matter of finding someone to Mi Fei.

"New Oriental?"

This name evoked a smile on Zhou An's mind, and at the same time, a few related advertisements that have been very popular in the past two years flashed in his mind.

One of them is: "Where did Aiqing learn from?"

"New Oriental Cooking School!"

The other is: "800 stoves of stainless steel, 200 masters are strong in technology......"

There is another sentence that impresses him, but he can't laugh or cry: "Sister, if you meet a New Oriental chef, you will get married!"

Zhou An didn't expect that the candidate Mi Fei was looking for for this time was actually a backbone teacher of New Oriental.

New Oriental teachers, he had not been in contact with in his previous life, but he had met several apprentices who graduated from New Oriental, interning at the hotel where he worked at the time.

How so?

The impression left by the apprentices who graduated from New Oriental was probably that the basic skills were okay, but the main thing was the basic skills.

"Okay, then try his dish tomorrow!"

Zhou An is indeed a little interested in the cooking skills of the backbone teachers of New Oriental.
