Chapter 347: Cannot Be Refused
Gao Changhe is a qualified chef and even more so a qualified secretary.
Gu Zheng was very satisfied with what he did. He left behind useful things and avoided being disturbed by other information. He was right to find Mr. Sun to introduce him. Otherwise, there would be no such considerate chef as Gao Changhe.
After Gu Zheng left, the business in the store was even more popular than usual. After the fragrance of the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng spread, many people came here to smell the fragrance. They couldn't eat the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng, but the other food in the store was also good. Every food did not disappoint them and was truly delicious.
And the ten lucky people who bought the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng shouted that it was worth it.
Whether it was Gu Zheng's reputation or the taste of this bowl of chicken blood soup, it was absolutely worth the price. Except for one old customer who had drunk Gu Zheng's chicken blood soup before, the other nine were new customers.
One of the nine people even shed tears. This was a delicacy he had never eaten before. He had never even thought that there was food that could be so delicious that he was so excited that he cried in the end.
This man is also a senior foodie. He was very glad that he got a bowl this time. When the manager reported that Gu Zheng made chicken blood soup by himself, he hesitated for a while. After all, the price of 888 was not low. But thinking that it was the national new chef god and the chicken blood soup made by Gu Zheng, whose reputation had long been spread, he quickly signed up and bought it.
He was very glad that he made such a choice at that time, otherwise he would definitely regret it in the future and regret missing such a delicacy.
"Gu Zheng, do you have anything to do in the evening?"
Before he got home, Gu Zheng received a call from Du Yang. Chang Feng had found Du Yang. After all, part of Chang Feng's shares were left to Du Yang. He already knew that Gu Zheng was back.
"Nothing to do in the evening, let's sit together, come to my house tonight!"
Gu Zheng replied with a smile. He didn't need to guess why Du Yang called him. Chang Feng even gave him shares. It was impossible for him not to tell him the real reason.
Du Yang had gained great benefits because of Gu Zheng. According to his personality, it was impossible for him not to express his feelings.
"Go to your house, OK, see you tonight!"
When Du Yang heard Gu Zheng say he was going to his house, he was stunned for a moment, then he shouted excitedly. Going to Gu Zheng's house meant that he could eat the food Gu Zheng made himself.
After hanging up the phone, Du Yang immediately notified Zhao Yongkui and Wang Tao. Calculating the time, they had not been to Gu Zheng's house for almost a year. The last time they went was last spring. That time they went out for a spring outing, but Gu Zheng suddenly fell into a coma, and then Gu Zheng invited them to his home.
Originally, they thought they would have to wait another year until Gu Zheng's birthday to have a chance, but Gu Zheng suddenly invited them. Even if Du Yang wanted to invite him once, he gave up immediately after hearing what Gu Zheng said. The food Gu Zheng made himself was too tempting.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zheng also dialed a number.
Gu Zheng called Chang Le. Chang Feng's shares were transferred to Chang Le. The two major shareholders had not met once, so he took this opportunity to call him. Gu Zheng did not expect Chang Le to come to the store as often as Chang Feng did. As long as Chang Le could take care of everything outside the store, it would be fine.
The store is now fully on track. There is Gao Changhe inside and the store manager outside. The two cooperate very well and have long been stable.
Chang Le received Gu Zheng's call and immediately agreed to go to his house when Gu Zheng said he would go. When he went to Gu Zheng's house, it was dinner time. He knew what to make with his toes. Gu Zheng's food, anyone who has eaten it, will have zero immunity and cannot resist such temptation.
When they were not here, Gu Zheng went to prepare the ingredients first. In fact, the ingredients are very simple and can be found when entering the prehistoric space.
Think about the first time he accepted the test last year, he had to make a table of food that conquered the taste buds of several people. At that time, the damn spirit of the instrument limited the lowest inferior ingredients, and he only found three such ingredients at home.
If he hadn't been lucky enough to buy a second-rate black chicken in the market, he would have failed the test because he didn't have enough ingredients. If he had failed the test, he wouldn't be here now.
Two fairy chickens. Now Gu Zheng has a lot of fairy chickens. He is rich and can take out more for his friends.
One fairy chicken is for honey chicken, and the other fairy chicken is for chicken noodle soup.
Some fairy fish and fairy vegetables were taken out, as well as some other ordinary-level ingredients. After thinking about it, Gu Zheng took another fairy apricot.
The fairy apricot is ripe. It is a medium-level ingredient and a high-quality ingredient that can improve people's physique. They can't eat one fairy apricot each, as they can't bear the huge improvement of the fairy apricot. However, it is no problem for four people to share one.
After the ingredients were prepared, Gu Zheng simply stayed in the prehistoric space to continue practicing. His Tiexian Xian Jue has reached the ninth level of the third level, and he will soon break through to the fourth level. Only when the Tiexian Xian Jue reaches the fourth level can the real practice begin.
The first three levels are just laying the foundation.
Cultivating to the fourth level is equivalent to the stage of refining essence into qi for other practitioners, that is, becoming a true immortal cultivator. Only by becoming an immortal cultivator can one have the ability to fly into the sky and hide in the ground. Although the immortal cultivators in the stage of refining essence into qi need to rely on external forces to fly in the air, such as flying a sword or a knife, etc., no matter what, they are always flying.
Any cultivator has a yearning for free flight, and Gu Zheng is no exception.
Chang Le arrived at 4pm. He hadn't eaten the food made by Gu Zheng for a long time. This time, he couldn't eat anything at home and had no mood to work, so he came early.
"Gu Zheng, you've ruined me. You told me so early that we were going to have dinner in the evening, so I couldn't do anything all day!"
Chang Le complained when he saw Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng smiled softly.
It was not lunch time when Gu Zheng notified him. In fact, it was not just Chang Le. Du Yang and his friends were also a little absent-minded today. They didn't eat at noon and were all waiting for the big meal in the evening.
"It's just right that you came early. I have something to tell you. I plan to go to France in a few days. I can only trouble you with the store. If you don't have time, everything will be handed over to the store manager and others. You just need to collect the daily business payment!"
Chang Feng left, and Chang Le took over Chang Feng's equity. Now the daily business payment is paid to Chang Le. Originally, Chang Feng said to pay it directly to Gu Zheng, but Gu Zheng did not agree.
He often goes out for days and has no time to pay attention to this. Don't let him delay other things in the store. In the end, Chang Le will take over this matter.
"Are you going to France?"
Chang Le was slightly stunned and asked in surprise. Gu Zheng nodded gently: "There is a food festival in France that invites me to participate. I want to go and see it!"
"Sure, I happen to have something to do in France. Let's go together then!"
Chang Le adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled again. Chang Le actually wanted to go to France, which was a bit beyond Gu Zheng's expectations, but it was good for Chang Le to go with someone, at least it would not be so boring.
As for the store, it didn't matter if both of them left. At the beginning, Gu Zheng and Chang Feng rarely controlled remotely, and there was no problem.
"What are you going to do in France?"
It would be best if someone was going with him, or someone familiar. Gu Zheng had never been to France once. Gu Ming said he would take him there before, but he was still in school at that time and had no time to go.
Gu Ming wanted him to study in France, but Gu Zheng didn't want to, so he stayed in China. The father and son lived in two places.
"The company has a project to discuss, and I have to go there in person!"
Chang Le didn't go to France because of Gu Zheng. He did have something to go to, and he didn't know that France invited Gu Zheng.
Gao Changhe had always been helping Gu Zheng with the invitation letters. Chang Feng hadn't asked before, and Chang Le hadn't asked after he took over. If Gu Zheng hadn't mentioned going to France today, Chang Le wouldn't have known about his trip.
Chang Le was going to France in three days, and he was taking a special plane. Gu Zheng didn't need to book a ticket, so he could take Chang Le's special plane and go with him.
Du Yang, Zhao Yongkui and others arrived soon. Du Yang was stunned when he saw Chang Le, and he was a little restrained.
Now he knows very well how everything came about. The initial promotion was because of Mr. Chang, but if he hadn't asked for leave to help Gu Zheng, he wouldn't have gotten it. It can only be said that it was his luck and his destiny.
When he was just promoted, he was still thinking about punishing his boss, the old witch, but as time went by, especially now Du Yang, he looked down on all this and no longer had the mood to punish his former boss.
On the contrary, if possible, he would still be willing to take care of his old boss.
It's not that he repays evil with virtue, but all this, if the old witch hadn't punished him, he wouldn't have gotten it. If the old witch hadn't targeted him, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to go to work, and Gu Zheng wouldn't have sent him off.
In this way, even if Chang Le knew him, he wouldn't have taken special care of him, let alone the things that happened later.
Another point is that Du Yang's status is now far higher than his previous boss, and he has adapted to his current identity. A real leader will not think about some of the grudges in the past.
Moreover, these grudges had been retaliated as early as when he was promoted. At that time, Du Yang really punished the old witch several times.
When he was with Chang Le, Du Yang was a little restrained, but he didn't feel uncomfortable.
The five people, including Gu Zheng, had a delicious meal. This meal made Chang Le and the other four reluctant to close their mouths when eating. Even when they were full, they still wanted to eat more. Gu Zheng's cooking skills have improved again. Compared with the past, these foods are countless times more delicious, and people can't forget them once they eat them.
After eating and drinking, Du Yang and the others posted a circle of friends, which made many people envious.
Today, Gu Zheng is the number one chef in the country. This Chinese Food Competition is of great value. Not only is it highly affirmed by the judges, but many old predecessors in the food industry have also stood up to affirm it, which has caused Gu Zheng's fame to reach the highest level.
Some media even asserted that as long as Gu Zheng participates in the competition continuously, he will definitely win the first place for three sessions and create a new record, and this record will be difficult to break in the future.
With the continuous media coverage, more and more people know Gu Zheng's name. In addition, Du Yang and the others have promoted it early, and many people who see their circle of friends are liking it and expressing envy.
"I'm leaving first!"
After dinner, Chang Le said goodbye. Du Yang and the others wanted to leave, but were kept by Gu Zheng.
"I think you all know about Du Yang!"
There were only four of them, so Gu Zheng got straight to the point. After hearing what he said, the other three, including Du Yang, fell silent.
Du Yang got a promotion and a raise because of Gu Zheng. Now he has obtained shares in the company and has become a shareholder and a director of the board of directors. The annual dividends alone are an astronomical figure. It would be a lie to say that Zhao Yongkui and Wang Tao are not envious.
Like Du Yang, the two are good friends of Gu Zheng. The four of them have a good relationship. Now only Du Yang has taken advantage of Gu Zheng and has directly stepped into the upper class life. He can even buy a villa and live a rich life, while they are still spinning in circles and not working hard for that little salary.
They are all the same relationship, the same people, but their fates are so different. It would be strange if they can have a balanced mentality.
In fact, as early as after Du Yang’s second promotion, they didn’t contact much, and now they contact even less. If it weren’t for Gu Zheng, they would not get together at all. It’s not that Du Yang didn’t contact them. In fact, Du Yang would invite them out every weekend, but they refused.
Gu Zheng noticed this last time, but he didn’t care. Now the problem is more serious, so he kept the three people and prepared to talk about it thoroughly.
If they don't talk it out earlier, it won't be long before the four of them will split up, or even stop communicating. Gu Zheng doesn't want such a result.
"Du Yang's change is due to me, but more to himself. If he doesn't work hard and has insufficient work ability, he won't get these!"
Gu Zheng said lightly, and after looking at Du Yang, he continued: "My relationship with the Chang family is indeed unusual. I saved a very important old man of theirs, and I don't need them too much, so they gave some rewards to Du Yang. Even I didn't expect this!"
"But since it happened, it's all Du Yang's luck. Now I will help you create an opportunity to have such luck!"
Gu Zheng continued to speak, Zhao Yongkui and Wang Tao both raised their heads and widened their eyes.
They are indeed jealous of Du Yang now, and they also thought about Gu Zheng helping them, but they have never said these words, and they are embarrassed to say this. Now Gu Zheng took the initiative to propose it, and the two avoided speaking, and naturally they had a desire in their hearts.
This is not just a small help. If it was just a small amount of funding, both of them would refuse it because of their self-esteem. But this is a change that can completely change their lives and an opportunity to change their destiny.
They can't refuse such an opportunity.
