The original text is as follows:

I hesitated for a long time before I decided to put pen to paper, but once I wrote it, I couldn't go back. No matter who you are, as long as you see this book, it is to communicate with a soul who is already in another world. As for what to do with this book.,Or whether you want to believe the content in it.,Or even whether to read it or not.,It's up to you.。

My name is Xiang Qihang and I am 28 years old. I was born into a poor family and grew up living in relative poverty. My appearance is ugly, my character is honest, my behavior is clumsy, and my IQ is low. All in all, people like me don't get to see me everywhere they go. Some people may think that such congenital conditions and living circumstances are likely to prompt me to sin, and I can tell you clearly. I definitely won't. I have many shortcomings, but only one of my advantages is enough: it's just my duty. I just want to try to make each tomorrow a whole day. But who doesn't want to work hard to live a good life? I was stupid, my academic performance was naturally poor, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get into college. My physical fitness is not good, I can't be a soldier or do heavy physical work, and I have some minor illnesses all year round. I don't have a business acumen and can't do business.

But I'm glad that God is relatively fair. No matter how bad a person is, he will not be useless, I am born to be useful, and I always have the strength to be able to get my hands on and make my heart with low self-esteem regain confidence. I haven't eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, and I haven't had any professional training, but I've had the talent to be a chef since I was a child. I worked in a restaurant, and at most I served dishes and served food, and I couldn't see the master's skills at all. But as long as I give me the ingredients, a bowl of ordinary noodles or egg fried rice can be made by my hands. You may not believe it, but as I said, it's up to you to believe it or not, and I'm only responsible for telling my story and not interested in anything else. Let's take an incident at the beginning of this year as an example, in order to attract investment, Vice Mayor Tan invited some big customers to dinner, and I cooked several dishes, but they didn't know that there was such a person as me. I will never see them, and there will be someone appointed to receive this honor for me.

Naturally, the city leaders don't go to the restaurant, I'm talking about Zhiweixuan. As long as you are from Yanzhou, or have spent a few years in Yanzhou, it is impossible not to have heard of Zhiweixuan. Through unremitting efforts, I was finally dug up by Zhiweixuan. Although I was odd and stupid, I entered on my own. Although I don't know how to make swallow abalone winged ginseng, I will make noodles, fried rice, and dumplings, but these are the brands that have made Zhiweixuan the king of mass catering. So that it is not only for the rich to serve, the general public has also flocked to it, and even the city leaders have come to taste my steamed buns more than once, you know, the more ordinary the meal, the more difficult to make, once done, more delicious than any delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Zhiweixuan's boss Qian always regarded me as a cash cow, and the board of directors of Qianlong Group would reward him with hundreds of thousands of commissions every year for overcompleting his tasks, but in the end he only gave me a salary of 4,000 yuan per month. But I am also content, in the territory of Yanzhou, how many college students and even graduate students are worried about a thousand yuan. Later, he proposed a petty official to me, a "technical director", but in fact he was still on the front line, just to let me take an apprentice, increase the workload, and satisfy Zhiweixuan's desire to expand. But no matter how many "apprentices" I copied, I couldn't copy myself, and no one could learn the taste of my food except myself. The competition in the industry is very fierce, and I am so young, and I have been unanimously isolated by many senior peers and seniors with formal titles. Although the popularity is not good, even if my work level is hard, I am a baby at the top, and I will not be easily squeezed out by my peers. However, I can't go up, the reason why I don't reveal my identity to the outside world, and the so-called Zhiweixuan home-cooked meal is actually "the crystallization of the joint efforts of all employees", is also because I am afraid that after I become famous, it will cause the major catering giants to rob, and then maybe the monthly salary can be doubled and become a strong competitor of the Qianlong Group. And now they just need to send me a few thousand dollars with peace of mind, and they want me to be grateful to Dade. As for me, I am a principled person, and at the difficult moment when I was pregnant, Zhiweixuan once took me to them with the wisdom to do it, and he was kind to me, so I would not take the initiative to change jobs. Second, I heard many people say that the boss of the Qianlong Group is some kind of "underworld emperor", and he still has human lives in his hands, and the company is quite afraid of him. In society, there are very few people who dare to go to Zhiweixuan to make trouble, so if I openly auction myself to the society because of the problem of more money and less money, it will be equivalent to finding a gallows for myself.

Speaking of which, although the Qianlong Group is mainly based on real estate and tourism, the catering industry is also a major pillar of it, and Zhiweixuan's reputation is very great, and the benefits can almost be among the top five, similar to the Electric Power Bureau and several large listed enterprises, and even higher than some public institutions. Many of the city's big tasks are trying their best to send their children to Zhiweixuan, and they are all squeezed out. Who are the big shots? I don't dare to say this, anyway, the sons of city leaders and the daughters of military officers are indispensable. Of course, there are also high-achieving students with high academic qualifications who come in with their abilities, but they are also quickly caught by some wealthy or powerful families and become inverted sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. Originally, I should have this condition, in today's society, whether I can find an ideal object does not depend on the beauty or ugliness of the appearance, most of it depends on the ability to earn money. My salary is not small in society in terms of age, but in this company, it is very average, not to mention that my ability and my income do not match. Coupled with the fact that I'm not ordinarily ugly, I've exceeded the limit of what most people can tolerate when choosing a mate, who wants to face an abominable monster face day and night for four thousand dollars a month? I totally understand. My life is actually relatively bleak, even if it is 4,000 yuan a month or 50,000 yuan a year, I have to go without food or drink for ten years to save a small house.

Fortunately, housing prices gradually began to fall, and Qianlong Group developed a new real estate called Zhiwei Seaview Flower Garden, and internal employees can also take out loans if they want to buy it. I didn't hesitate to buy the second floor, which was relatively cheap. The rest of the company's employees, especially those young masters and young ladies, none of them bought them, because they all had better houses and didn't need to boil them.

My department is technically focused, specializing in a variety of dishes and delicious recipes. I haven't studied, but this doesn't delay my good skills, and a few other people, either by virtue of academic qualifications or recent connections, are not even as good as the aunts who fry fritters on the street in terms of cooking skills. Their names, I can't disclose, are not just a matter of principle, but also my personal safety. In that case, I'll use their online screen names instead, because for professional reasons, everyone's screen names are related to food.

There are only six people in our department, including me, and we are the heart of the department. The direct leader is the minister's cousin, who is tall and tall, in his forties, white and fat, squinting with small eyes, and having a bad stomach, and his screen name is actually very self-aware to take it as "grout bag". A female accountant, one or two years older than the grout bag, dressed very masculine, steady and capable, the woman does not let the eyebrows, but a little too arrogant, is a strong woman, the screen name "leek". There is also a female graduate student who specializes in designing ingredients, with a double master's degree, with a cold personality and a very spicy personality, who is the girlfriend of a young owner of a large enterprise in the city, with the screen name "Chili". The youngest is a girl in her early twenties, very petite, docile, soft and sweet when she speaks, she is the daughter of a certain leader, and her screen name is "Tofu". The most one is dressed charmingly, has a flamboyant personality, has an unclear relationship with many big leaders, is almost thirty years old and has not yet married, and his online name is "Noodles".

They all have one thing in common, they usually look down on me, form a more intimate circle, and exclude me. Of course, in their eyes, I am a monster, and no matter how good I am at cooking, I will not earn their respect. On the contrary, because of their strong background, even the big leaders are respectful to them, they are the real owners of Zhiweixuan, Zhiweixuan is not my ideal place to promote food culture, but a free paradise built by Qin Boqian for the children of his umbrella.
