Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten-Chapter 251 - 236: Acting Like This Is an Easy Way to Get Yourself Beaten Up

Chapter 251: Chapter 236: Acting Like This Is an Easy Way to Get Yourself Beaten Up

"Qingqing, Weiwei, come and try this Snow Lotus Soup..."

As the enthusiastic hostess, Wen Xueqian was thoughtfully taking care of the three little ones.

She used a ladle to scoop a spoonful of the crystal-clear Snow Lotus Soup and poured it into the small bowls of Qingqing and Weiwei, gently reminding them, "Be careful, it’s a bit hot. Blow on it first before you drink, this sweet soup is quite delicious."

After that, she didn’t forget to give Liu Ruihan a spoonful as well.

"Thank you, Mama~"

"Thank you, Auntie~"

Qingqing and the others thanked in unison.

Each of them picked up a small spoon and scooped a bit of the sweet soup from their bowls.

Following Wen Xueqian’s advice, they puckered their little mouths, gently blowing on the spoonfuls of sweet soup to let the heat dissipate.

Once the steam subsided, they carefully took a sip.

The soup was sweet without being cloying, with the aroma of red dates drifting up and the sweetness of dried longans in between. Qingqing and Weiwei, both fond of sweets, couldn’t help but squint, satisfied expressions appearing on their faces as they exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Seeing her friends enjoying the soup so much, Liu Ruihan felt a rush of joy and warmly invited, "Qingqing, Weiwei, have some more. If it’s not enough, let my Mama get you some more~"

Wen Xueqian softly echoed, "Yes, if you like it, have more, don’t be shy." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Saying this, she topped off their bowls with another spoonful of the delicious soup.

"Mm-hmm~ Thank you, Auntie~"

Qingqing and Weiwei took another big spoonful, getting some of the soup on the corners of their mouths.

Huang Jun saw this and quickly pulled out a few napkins to wipe their mouths.

At this moment!

President Bai pulled out an elegant business card holder from the inner pocket of his suit, gently extracted a card, and stood up, respectfully handing it to Huang Jun: "Brother Huang, this is my business card, please accept it."

Huang Jun was a bit taken aback by this unexpected action and quickly stood up, receiving the card with both hands, somewhat embarrassedly explaining, "President Bai, I’m sorry, I don’t have a card to exchange with you."

President Bai smiled and waved his hand, indicating he didn’t mind, "It’s okay, Brother Huang, a business card is just a formality. What I truly value is your culinary skill and character. I greatly admire your talent and wonder if you’d be interested in joining my hotel team as the executive chef?"

With these words, the air suddenly went silent.

Chef Ge’s eyes bulged like saucers, filled with shock.

He thought they were here to sample his cooking—why the sudden interest in his master?!

But then.

Would his master agree?

Liu Shiwei’s ears stood alertly, wary of every surprising sound.

Naughty Old Bai, coming uninvited for dinner is one thing, but daring to entice my honored guest away?!

Trying to lure him away on my turf?

This is simply too much, downright unprincipled!

Such a thing, I wouldn’t even imagine doing!

And here you are, not only imagining it but actually putting it into action!

Doing this, you’re likely to get beaten up...

By whom, you ask?

Need I say?

Of course, by those kiddos at Dorami Kindergarten and the teachers and staff there!

If they found out Old Bai wanted to poach Huang Jun to his hotel,

they’d probably come with a forty-centimeter sword, menacingly looking for Old Bai to settle things.

In fact, there were three Dorami Kindergarten kids present right now.

Though young and unable to fully grasp the undertones of President Bai’s words, their keen instincts sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere around them.

Therefore.

Their once friendly gaze towards President Bai now held a hint of wariness, laced with an "always people eyeing our dad/Chef Huang uncle" vibe.

Wen Xueqian and Jiang Cuiping were also struck by a wave of indescribable surprise.

They could hardly believe it—President Bai, who had known Huang Jun for barely an hour, held him in such high regard, even offering him a high-level position on his hotel team.

Frankly.

Is this really something they can hear for free?

Seeing everyone silent and just watching him with a "let’s see how this attempts-to-poach-people play out, just speechless" look, especially with Huang Jun in a dazed state, President Bai thought maybe he hadn’t expressed himself clearly.

Soooo...

He continued sincerely, "Brother Huang, well, I’m in the food and beverage business myself with several hotel chains in hand."

"With just a bit of your guidance, Chef Ge’s work reached another level in taste. To be honest, it’s already exceeded our hotel’s executive chefs by far."

"So, really, I sincerely invite you, Brother Huang, to join our hotel as an executive chef. As for the benefits, they will definitely match the position of an executive chef without any concessions."

"What do you think of my proposal?"

President Bai showered praises on Huang Jun generously, reflecting his true thoughts.

He knew better than anyone the capabilities of the executive chefs at his hotel, but compared to Huang Jun, indeed, there were some gaps.

However.

After expressing all these hopeful words, Huang Jun remained silent, just staring at him with a puzzled look.

Now.

President Bai became a bit uneasy.

Worried if there was anything inappropriate in his invitation or if Huang Jun had any concerns about his proposal.

He hurriedly added, "Brother Huang, I genuinely wish for you to become a part of our hotel and create more culinary legends together."

"If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to voice them. I’ll do my best to address and meet your needs."

"Brother Huang, please consider, join our hotel team!"

President Bai’s sincerity was evident, and most people facing such invitations and benefits might readily nod in agreement.

But not Huang Jun!

He’s a true "spoiling-daughters madman" and a man with aspirations to become a culinary god.

Additionally, the system designated the kindergarten location, his task there remained unfinished, and there was still some time before an upgrade.

With logic and feelings...

He couldn’t accept President Bai’s invitation.

He firmly shook his head and gracefully declined, "President Bai, thank you very much for your appreciation and kind invitation, but for now, I have no plans to change jobs."

His words left President Bai with a surprised look on his face.

He hurriedly said, "Brother Huang, regarding the benefits, we can actually discuss in more depth..."

His words were promptly interrupted by Liu Shiwei: "Old Bai, save your breath. Brother Huang has made his position clear, and you should not persist. To be straightforward, Brother Huang is not easy to recruit!"

President Bai looked puzzled at Liu Shiwei.

"Brother Huang is currently the chef at Dorami Kindergarten, and he chose it solely so his two precious daughters can eat well and get full at the kindergarten! His fatherly love can’t be measured by money."

President Bai: "..."

Liu Shiwei continued, "Moreover, last time the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau wanted him to head the bureau’s canteen as the chef, he outright refused. So, Old Bai, don’t be stubborn. Even if you make all sorts of promises, it won’t change Brother Huang’s resolve."

"..."

At this point, President Bai was stunned, and an only-President Bai’s hurt world came into being.
