75 -75 Starving the Master by Teaching the Disciple?_1

Knock knock knock!

Ding Yue was engrossed in his studies in his office.

Suddenly the office door was knocked on.

“Come in.”

The man who came in was a middle-aged man of about forty or fifty, slightly chubby, tall, and therefore quite robust.

“Principal Ding.”

“And you are?”

Ding Yue looked at the middle-aged man, he didn’t seem to recognize him.

“Principal Ding, I am the Sauté Chef of the campus hot pot shop, my name is Hu Jianren, the manager Zhang Yuping sent me to see you.”

The middle-aged man replied.

“Oh oh oh~ So it’s Master Hu, come sit down.” After learning the identity of the visitor, Ding Yue hurriedly invited him to sit and chat.

So he was the master sauté chef of the campus hot pot shop.

Indeed, it was Ding Yue who had asked his mother Zhang Yuping to notify him to come and see him.

Ding Yue wanted to talk to him about taking on a part-time teaching job for those students from the culinary arts department who wanted to learn to sauté hot pot base.

Hu Jianren sat somewhat formally on the couch.

“Would you like something to drink?” Ding Yue asked again.

“No, thank you, Principal Ding.”

“Alright, the reason I summoned you is that I have a matter to discuss with you.” Ding Yue nodded slightly, put the book on his lap aside, and then opened the drawer before him, from which he took out a two-part contract.

“What does Principal Ding want to discuss with me?” Hu Jianren asked curiously.

He was a local from Mist City who had been sautéing hot pot base day in and day out for over a decade.

The hot pot shop where he had previously worked was taken over by the person in charge of the university canteen, and they offered him a pretty high salary and decent treatment, so Hu Jianren chose to continue to work there sautéing hot pot base.

What could such a young man, who had inherited the stewardship of a private university business, want with him?

“Master Hu, in accordance with the students’ interests and hobbies, our school has set up relevant majors in the culinary arts department.

You know how popular the school’s hot pot shop is these days, the students want to learn your sautéing skills for hot pot base, so after consulting with the school and the department concerned, we want to invite you to become a course teacher for hot pot cuisine for the students.”

Ding Yue explained the matter in detail to Hu Jianren.

“This…”

Hu Jianren obviously didn’t expect it to be this matter, and his face seemed a little panicked.

But very quickly, Hu Jianren replied more tactfully: “Principal Ding, this craft of sautéing hot pot base is my livelihood.

I’m afraid teaching the students might…”

It’s quite normal for some highly skilled people to worry about starving once they’ve taught their apprentices everything.

Ding Yue could understand this.

“It’s just a class you’ll be teaching, come on, why don’t you look at this contract first, then decide?”

Ding Yue handed one copy of the contract in his hand to Hu Jianren.

Hu Jianren took the contract and reluctantly glanced at it.

After quite a while.

Hu Jianren raised his head, looking determinedly at Ding Yue and asked, “Principal Ding, when am I supposed to start teaching the students?”

Seeing Hu Jianren ask this, Ding Yue smiled very pleasedly, then said, “As soon as the culinary arts department has arranged the course, you can start teaching.”

“Alright, the authentic Mist City hot pot base sautéing skill needs to be promoted and developed.

Principal Ding, do I need to sign that other copy of the contract?”

After Hu Jianren signed the contract in hand, he pointed to the other copy lying in front of Ding Yue.

Very proactive!

“Yes, yes, one for each, so this copy also needs to be signed.” Ding Yue handed his copy to Hu Jianren, and then took the one he had already signed.

Then he took out the official seal of Mist City Arts and Science University from the drawer.

Thump!

He stamped the official seal at the place of Party A.

Then he gave the stamped contract to Hu Jianren and took the second one he had signed to be stamped.

Both parties held a copy each.

In this way, there are more than five hundred copies of such contracts at the administration department of Mist City Arts and Science University, after all, there are more than five hundred faculty members at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Now that Hu Jianren has been added, there’s one more person.

However, all the previous contracts were signed on behalf of Mist City Arts and Science University by the administrative director Xu Bin, but this one was personally signed by Principal Ding Yue with Hu Jianren.

After Hu Jianren signed the contract, Principal Ding Yue immediately purchased a [College Education Qualification Card] from the system mall, at the cost of 1 reputation point.

It was promptly used on Hu Jianren.

“Master Hu, you can go about your business first.

After the Department of Culinary Arts has arranged the courses, the department head will contact you personally to discuss the specific details,” he said.

“Alright, see you, Principal Ding.”

Hu Jianren, clutching the contract in his hand, got up and left the principal’s office.

When he reached the stairwell.

Hu Jianren couldn’t help but sigh, and in his heart dwelt a moment.

It wasn’t that he wouldn’t stick to his principles.

It was mainly due to what Principal Ding had offered…

Three days later.

The Culinary Arts department had arranged a hot pot class, and Master Hu, as the teacher of this course, began teaching students who wanted to learn the craft of concocting hot pot base ingredients.

In the Culinary Arts department, aside from the Food and Beverage Management major, there were the most students studying culinary arts.

Quite frankly.

As long as they learned well, there would be no problem for them to become chefs, or even head chefs.

But they must learn well.

Many students seeing the positive response to the campus hot pot business, knew success came from well-made hot pot base ingredients.

Given this.

They would certainly learn how to cook hot pot base ingredients, and once mastered, they could cook at hot pot restaurants as head chefs, or use their skills to open their own hot pot restaurants, neither of which was a bad way to make money.

Why were they in university in the first place?

Wasn’t it to learn more, so they could earn more once they graduated?

Moreover!

The department head had told the students that any of them who learned successfully from Master Hu,

Upon completing the course or graduating, would be eligible to join the campus hot pot brand and open their own franchise!

The students were subsequently even more motivated.

In the class, Master Hu began to teach the students about the raw materials of hot pot and how to cook them, using a PowerPoint slideshow.

Apart from theoretical classroom teaching.

There were also practical lessons.

The department had specially prepared a hot pot kitchen classroom, where Master Hu was guiding the students step by step on how to cook delicious hot pot base ingredients.

The students also studied very seriously.

November passed in the blink of an eye.

By December, the weather had gradually turned cold.

But there was more and more to be managed at Mist City Arts and Science University.

Xiong Yang, the head of the Cultural and Sports Department, started reporting to Ding Yue about the preparations for the New Year’s Day gala performance, including applying for the required budget.

Director Qi Chunsheng of the Academic Affairs Department, on the other hand, began coordinating with the department heads and teachers across all faculties to prepare for the end-of-term examinations this semester.

After all, exams would begin in January, followed by the winter holiday.

Besides keeping tabs on these school matters, Ding Yue also had to concentrate on his own physics studies.

And, arrange for the teachers in the Physics department to schedule academic tests for him at the end of this term.

This semester, Ding Yue planned to take exams for all the courses from the first to the third year.

After passing these tests, he would receive the corresponding course credits.

Besides, there were also credits for laboratory work, which Ding Yue planned to tackle next year.

Having completed the credits needed for graduation in advance, Ding Yue could graduate early and then prepare for postgraduate studies.

But, at the earliest, preparations for those studies would have to wait until the end of next year.

Because the registration for postgraduate entrance examinations essentially takes place at the end of December each year.
