382: Grand opening
In just half a day, Su Yue led one of the teams to Muxin Hotel.
At this moment, Liu Long and Yu Qing were sitting inside sighing, unable to find the right chefs in their minds.
Seeing their expressions, Su Yue involuntarily walked up to them and chuckled, "What are you two worrying about?"
When Liu Long heard Su Yue's voice, he instinctively sprang up from his seat, his face full of surprise: "General Manager Su? When did you come back? You didn't tell us in advance."
Su Yue shook his head speechlessly: "I've brought you chefs this time. See if you're satisfied."
Although he personally selected the people, the hotel was controlled by them, so Su Yue was willing to give them this face.
Liu Long and Yu Qing looked at the team of chefs behind Su Yue and pondered for a while: "We haven't tasted the food they make, how about... letting them try?"
When the chefs heard that Liu Long needed them to cook two dishes in the kitchen, they quickly walked towards the kitchen.
In their eyes, if they wanted to stay here, they first had to win over Yu Qing and Liu Long's stomachs.
Su Yue didn't say anything to them, allowing them to walk into the kitchen.
Then, Su Yue reminded Yu Qing: "This time, you are responsible for all the ingredient receipts yourself. No one can see them, including your Secretary."
When Yu Qing heard Su Yue mention the Secretary, he couldn't help but ask Su Yue: "General Manager Su, that Secretary... what are you planning to do with her?"
The Secretary was the one who betrayed them, and Yu Qing certainly didn't want her to stay by his side.
However, Su Yue had no intention of driving the Secretary away, shaking his head: "We need to use the Secretary to draw out Mu Ruguang behind her. Don't dismiss her for now, but you must be careful."
Far View (Yuantu) Investment has a lot of things on its hands recently and doesn't have time to deal with Mu Ruguang for the time being.
Yu Qing knew that Su Yue had a lot of work, so he just nodded.
Just then, the chefs poked their heads out sneakily and looked at the three people inside: "May we serve the dishes now?"
They admitted that they had never been to a place like this and didn't know the habits of these people.
Yu Qing originally thought Su Yue would respond, but to his surprise, Su Yue put his hands on his chest and stood obediently to the side.
Looking at him, he had no intention of speaking, making Yu Qing nod helplessly: "You can bring them up now."
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if something came to his mind, and he immediately stood up: "Oh no, there's nothing in the kitchen!"
The freezer was full of expired items, and no one knew if the people in the kitchen would use those ingredients to cook.
Su Yue heard that there was nothing in the kitchen and was speechless: "There's not even basic stuff in the kitchen, and you actually let the chefs cook? You guys are something."
If they mistakenly thought that the two hotels habitually used these expired items, no one knew if rumors would spread outside.
Just then, the chefs came in with three plates and placed them in front of them.
Su Yue looked at the egg fried rice in front of him with surprise, his brow slightly furrowed: "Egg fried rice?"
The chefs nodded a little awkwardly: "We just walked around the kitchen and there were basically no usable ingredients, so we dared to make egg fried rice. We hope you can understand."
In fact, they had no confidence at all, after all, there were so many expired ingredients in the kitchen, and no one knew if Su Yue was doing it on purpose.
Su Yue sniffed the egg fried rice and explained to them: "Those things in the kitchen were used by others to frame us. We haven't had time to deal with them yet. You can find an opportunity to throw them all in the trash can later."
When the chefs heard that Su Yue never used those ingredients, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and readily agreed.
Although egg fried rice is the simplest, it is actually the dish that truly tests one's skills.
Seeing that they hadn't started eating for a long time, the chefs couldn't help but say to Su Yue: "Try it, we put a lot of effort into making it."
Liu Long and Yu Qing exchanged glances, picked up their spoons, and each ate a spoonful.
Usually, they were busy with work, and egg fried rice and instant noodles were considered their standard fare.
As soon as Yu Qing ate a few bites, he immediately smiled: "Your egg fried rice is different from others'. It tastes good."
Speaking of this, they both finished everything on the plate.
There is only one way to make a chef feel that his cooking skills are good, and that is to eat all the food he makes.
When the chefs saw the three people eat all the egg fried rice they made, their faces were full of ecstasy: "Then we..."
Su Yue nodded slightly: "You will stay here from now on. Your salary will be according to the hotel's standard. Go and compile your list and your positions in the kitchen."
As a large hotel, they need to publicize the positions of everyone in the back kitchen so that those who eat know who the chefs are.
Soon, the chefs happily left the office.
Liu Long laughed loudly: "With such a team of chefs, we don't have to worry about Muxin Hotel not recovering."
In his eyes, Muxin Hotel had been framed to this extent, and without powerful chefs, there was no way to stabilize the situation.
At the same time, Su Yue looked at the two of them and couldn't help but say to them: "Don't forget, Mu Ruguang will sooner or later cause us trouble. I think we should take the initiative."
Now, they couldn't even find where Mu Ruguang was, so they had no way to deal with him.
When Su Yue heard Liu Long say this, he sneered: "We can't find him, but we can find the person he left in the hotel."
With Su Yue's reminder, they immediately reacted and said in unison: "Secretary?"
Su Yue nodded slightly: "Now send a message asking the Secretary to come back. Just say there's an event at the hotel tomorrow and ask her to come and receive the announcement."

The Secretary was originally responsible for these matters, so sending these messages to her shouldn't arouse suspicion.
In just half an hour, the Secretary walked in from the door with a smile on her face.
She originally thought she just needed to take the announcement and leave, but to her surprise, Liu Long locked the office door from behind.
The Secretary looked at Su Yue with a confused expression: "What do you mean by this?"
Su Yue looked at the Secretary pretending not to know anything and couldn't help but put his hands on his chest: "What do we mean? I want to ask how our receipts were swapped?"
When the Secretary heard Su Yue mention the receipts, her expression immediately became very unnatural, as if she had known about this for a long time.
Perhaps because she was unwilling to talk about the receipt issue, she stubbornly retorted: "What are the receipts you just mentioned? Why do I know nothing about them?"
Su Yue looked at the Secretary who seemed to be playing dumb and sneered: "You didn't know we installed surveillance in the office, did you? If you are willing to take responsibility, we have nothing more to say."
When Yu Qing heard that there was surveillance in the office, he looked at Su Yue in disbelief.
Fortunately, Su Yue winked at Yu Qing in advance, making him react and slap the table hard: "If you tell us now, we can let bygones be bygones, otherwise... think about the consequences yourself."
Su Yue's formidable reputation was quite well-known outside. Even Huasheng Hotel was not his match, let alone individuals.
As expected, the Secretary looked at the evidence they had against her and leaned against the desk with a bitter expression: "I didn't want to swap your receipts either. It was President Mu who told me to do it."
To prove that President Mu had instructed her to do this, she specifically placed the bank card Mu Ruguang gave her on the table. The money inside should have been the benefits Mu Ruguang gave her.
Su Yue narrowed his eyes at the bank card and took a deep breath: "Where is Mu Ruguang? Is he trying to get back Muxin Hotel?"
Strictly speaking, Muxin Hotel should be considered something Mu Ruguang built himself, so it should be normal for him to want to take it back.
But Su Yue didn't like this kind of unfair competition, so they had to quickly find the person.
Just from the Secretary's expression, it could be seen that she should know Mu Ruguang's location, but she was reluctant to mention it.
Before Su Yue could say anything, Liu Long walked up to the Secretary, his face full of anger: "Muxin Hotel's shares have dropped by 60%. If I tell the shareholders about this, do you think your family's savings are enough to compensate?"
Since Liu Long had done some things with Su Yue, he had learned Su Yue's ways and knew that coercion and temptation were the best methods.
Now that Liu Long had played the bad cop, Su Yue quickly stepped forward: "You won't get a good salary by following Mu Ruguang. Why don't you stay with us? In the future, when a hotel becomes available, you can also be a manager."
Everyone knew that Su Yue had no intention of being the Boss himself after taking over the hotel, which immediately made the Secretary's thoughts become active.
In the Secretary's eyes, if her position could no longer be promoted, the only way was to help others take over this company.
It didn't take long for the Secretary to seem to understand their conversation, and she sighed helplessly: "President Mu is in a small company he used to run. The company's name is Mu Family Catering Company."
Su Yue originally thought Mu Ruguang still had hotels, but no one expected that he actually owned a catering company.
They happened to need such a company, which touched Su Yue's heart slightly.
Su Yue walked up to the Secretary and chuckled: "Contact President Mu and ask him to come to the coffee shop, saying you have something to tell him."
The Secretary was originally unwilling to make the call, but since she had already said everything she shouldn't have, she was forced to go along with it.
Mu Ruguang trusted his Secretary very much. When he heard that the Secretary had something important to tell him, he agreed immediately.
Su Yue didn't want Liu Long and Yu Qing to know too much, so Su Yue followed the Secretary alone, and the two of them went to the coffee shop.
To prevent Mu Ruguang from leaving early, Su Yue could only hide in another private room, waiting for Mu Ruguang to arrive at the destination.
Perhaps because Mu Ruguang felt that his day of turning things around was coming soon, he only took a few minutes to arrive at the coffee shop.
When he sat across from the Secretary, he realized that her expression was a little unusual.
He originally planned to leave, but just as he stood up, he heard Su Yue's voice, which made him freeze in place.
Su Yue walked in from behind, stood in front of Mu Ruguang, and sneered: "It's very difficult to see you now."
Mu Ruguang saw Su Yue appear here, and there was no way he didn't know that Su Yue had already bribed the Secretary.
The Secretary looked at Mu Ruguang's angry face and sighed helplessly: "They forced me to do this. I had no choice."
Su Yue ignored what the Secretary said and pointed to the sofa next to him: "Sit down, we can talk. I heard you own a catering company."
Mu Ruguang didn't expect the Secretary to reveal all his secrets, and his face was full of anger.
But he knew he couldn't vent it out, and sneered: "What's the use of me having a catering company? I'm still not your match."
Now, Muxin Hotel had opened its canteen, and his catering company was no match at all.
Su Yue saw that Mu Ruguang still hated him to the bone and didn't waste time with him. He took out a contract and placed it in front of him: "This is my sincerity to you. I hope you can take a good look."
When Mu Ruguang learned that Su Yue intended to cooperate with him, he immediately picked up the contract and carefully read the contents.
In just a few seconds, Mu Ruguang slapped the contract on the table: "You... you are actually willing to cooperate with us? Aren't you afraid we will push you to the edge of the cliff?"
In his eyes, Su Yue and he should be mortal enemies, so how could there be business dealings?
Su Yue saw that Mu Ruguang was implicitly reminding him and couldn't help but laugh loudly: "It's a matter of making money. I believe President Mu is not a rigid person. Cooperation can lead to a win-win situation, and you shouldn't refuse."
Muxin Hotel is not the only one. Nine out of ten of their branches need chefs.
As long as Su Yue gives all the chef positions to Mu Ruguang, he believes Mu Ruguang can also make a fortune.
Having one more friend is much better than having one more enemy. This time, Su Yue showed all his sincerity, wanting to see if they could turn hostility into friendship.
