Chapter 808: Chapter 581: Chef Huang, You Start Things Then Abandon Them, You Betray and Forsake...

"To be honest, all four job applicants performed extremely well, making it truly difficult for me to make an immediate choice..."

Liu Suyu was the first to speak, candidly expressing her feelings.

"Yes, the stuffed tofu dishes they made each had their unique flavors, and it’s hard to distinguish their culinary skills. It’s really difficult to make a decision quickly..."

Fei Juanfen nodded in agreement, then promptly suggested her preferred candidates: "But if we must choose, I think Zheng Yaohua and Zhao Weiguang are quite suitable."

"Director Liang, we really aren’t experts in culinary skills, so maybe you and Chef Huang should make the final decision? We’ll follow your lead..."

The other leaders all agreed, and everyone’s gaze naturally turned to Huang Jun.

After all, he is the expert in this field.

Liang Yinqiu also looked expectantly at Huang Jun, earnestly asking: "Huang Jun, as a culinary expert, which candidate do you think is more suitable to become your future capable assistant chef? Also, I’d like to hear your thoughts on the two candidates Director Fei mentioned, Zheng Yaohua and Zhao Weiguang."

Huang Jun nodded slightly, falling into a brief contemplation.

In his mind, flashes of each candidate’s cooking details flickered quickly, as he quietly compared their strengths and weaknesses.

After a moment, he slowly spoke: "These four candidates indeed have outstanding cooking skills, and choosing the most suitable one is certainly not easy. However, if we consider their attention to detail and potential for future development, I think Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze might stand out slightly."

Liang Yinqiu raised her eyebrows slightly with curiosity and asked: "Oh? Could you elaborate on your thoughts?"

She wasn’t too surprised to hear Zheng Yaohua mentioned.

After all, his culinary skills are superb, he’s experienced, and has a background working in a kindergarten kitchen, which certainly adds to his advantages.

But the choice of Meng Hongze was somewhat surprising to her, and other leaders showed surprised expressions as well.

It’s known that among the four candidates, although Meng Hongze’s performance was good, it wasn’t the most outstanding.

Huang Jun explained in detail: "Zheng Yaohua did an excellent job with the flavors in his stuffed tofu dish, and the tofu was cooked well. Although the heat was slightly too high, his overall performance was still very impressive. As for Meng Hongze, he used a traditional stuffing method, blending the ingredients quite effectively, though he used slightly too much seasoning. However, the overall flavor was still great, and his knife skills and other aspects were excellent, with great potential..."

Although Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang came because they admired his culinary skills, and it was he who recommended them to apply, in principle, he should strive to secure a place for them.

But unfortunately...

This time, there were only two slots for assistant chefs!

As the head chef in the daycare, Huang Jun had to remain fair and select based on their actual performance.

So, apologies to Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang...

This time, you might not get your wish.

He silently conveyed his helplessness in his heart.

"Hmm, Chef Huang, your analysis is indeed very accurate." Liang Yinqiu nodded slightly, showing a look of agreement.

Huang Jun’s gaze moved among the crowd, adding: "Of course, this is just a bit of my personal insight, and the final decision still needs to be collectively discussed. Let’s combine everyone’s opinions and make the most appropriate decision."

"Chef Huang, your mastery of culinary skills is evident, we naturally go by your judgment and trust your assessment entirely." Everyone expressed their agreement.

"In that case, let’s go with Chef Huang’s insight."

Liang Yinqiu firmly stated: "After all, this is about selecting an assistant chef for Chef Huang, your perception and judgment are undoubtedly most crucial."

After that, the group returned in front of the applicants.

Liang Yinqiu cleared her throat and formally announced: "After our team’s comprehensive and thorough consideration, along with several rounds of detailed discussions, we are now ready to reveal our initial decision to everyone. Through strict selection, Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze, with their outstanding abilities and exceptional performance, have successfully won our favor and will assume the assistant chef positions. To Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang, we extend our sincere apologies; unfortunately, you were not selected this time. However, we greatly appreciate all your efforts and preparation for this opportunity, and we hope you find a stage more suited to your talents in the future."

This news fell on Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze’s ears, and they immediately beamed with joy.

Hahaha~

The offer might be late, but it will never be absent!

Zheng Yaohua was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, his eyes flashing with irrepressible excitement, and shouted excitedly: "Great, I finally got accepted! From now on, I can eat..."

He paused suddenly.

That’s right!

What he originally wanted to say was "From now on, I can eat Chef Huang’s delicious food every day", but on second thought, such words might seem too blunt and not elegant enough, risking being teased by everyone.

With this in mind, he forcibly swallowed the words and quickly adjusted his thoughts, changing the unfinished sentence to: "From now on, I can follow Chef Huang’s footsteps every day, deeply learning exquisite culinary skills."
