Outside the private room, Zhou Meng knocked on the door.

”Boss, can we serve the dishes now?”

”Go ahead.”

Qi Sheng patted the two little ones on their bottoms, and they quickly and obediently returned to their seats.

”Boss, this is the first dish from Chef Huang Zhihui, Flaxseed Roasted Chicken.”

Zhou Meng served the dish himself, his expression a mixture of excitement and confusion.

”Have a seat. Let the other servers handle the dishes. Come and taste Chef Huang’s cooking.”

Qi Sheng had a pretty good idea of what Zhou Meng was thinking.

It was simply that he couldn’t understand why a chef as famous throughout Guangzhou as Chef Huang would join the obscure Yu Tu Restaurant.

”Boss, after I used the number you gave me to contact and meet with Chef Huang, I was absolutely stunned.”

”For a chef of Chef Huang’s caliber to be the head chef of our restaurant... it’s honestly a bit beneath him.”

As a veteran of the hotel industry, Zhou Meng was of course familiar with Huang Zhihui, the executive chef of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Guangzhou.

He was the only Cantonese master chef in the country whom the Mandarin Oriental Hotel had invited to create an exclusive, eponymous restaurant.

The restaurant he helmed, Jiang Youhui, had even earned Guangzhou’s only Michelin two-star rating.

The Mandarin Oriental Hotel should never have let go of a talent like that, no matter the circumstances.

Even though Zhou Meng felt the Banyan Tree brand was on par with Mandarin Oriental, he had no confidence they could poach Huang Zhihui.

Unless the Banyan Tree in Shanghai tried to poach him, then maybe he’d consider it.

He wouldn’t even give the Banyan Tree in Hangzhou a second glance.

”Let’s try the food first. You can talk to Chef Huang yourself later.”

Qi Sheng chuckled to himself. ’After all, I’m a man under Lord Tong’s protection.’

’When the System makes a move, no matter how incredible Huang Zhihui is, he has no choice but to obediently work for me.’

Because the restaurant’s decor and menu hadn’t been updated yet, Huang Zhihui couldn’t benefit from the flavor-enhancement buff.

Even so, they couldn’t stop praising his Expert Level Cantonese cuisine.

Flaxseed Roasted Chicken, Steamed Hand-Pounded Meat Patty with Hele Crab, Creative Sweet and Sour Pork with Fresh Fruit, and Single-Bite Square Roasted Pork.

Huang Zhihui had chosen all of his signature dishes.

Dishes like the sweet and sour pork and the roasted pork were his own innovations on traditional recipes.

Earning two Michelin stars wasn’t just about the flavor; the plating was also a feast for the eyes.

Zhou Meng tasted every dish.

He thought about the skill level of the current head chef at Baiyun Chinese Restaurant and instinctively shook his head.

”Boss, if Chef Huang really joins our Banyan Tree, the hotel’s occupancy rate will definitely see a significant increase.”

The Banyan Tree, located in the Xixi Wetland, was already quite attractive to high-net-worth individuals.

With the addition of Yu Tu Restaurant helmed by Huang Zhihui, it would be difficult for their occupancy rate not to rise.

”Baiyun Chinese Restaurant is too small. Knock down the wall to the adjacent Hu Guang Pavilion Restaurant, then redesign and renovate the whole space. Don’t worry about the cost.”

Qi Sheng wasn’t satisfied with the market positioning of either of the hotel’s restaurants.

Restaurants in Hangzhou that cost two or three hundred yuan per person are a dime a dozen.

Guests staying at the Banyan Tree still had to leave the hotel to find a decent meal.

That in itself was an insult to the Banyan Tree brand.

In this regard, Banyan Tree really needed to learn from the Four Seasons Hotel.

Jinsha Hall alone brought a huge amount of foot traffic to the Four Seasons Hotel.

”Understood. I’ll get the restaurant renovation completed as quickly as possible.”

”Four months, tops. I expect to see the restaurant reopen by then.”

Qi Sheng gave Zhou Meng a deadline.

”For the design work, you can contact President Jian at Shengxuan Decoration. He’ll give you a very favorable quote.”

”Understood. I’ll contact President Jian right away.”

When Zhou Meng heard the name of the decoration company, he couldn’t help but speculate, though he didn’t say anything.

’The entire Banyan Tree Group belongs to the boss anyway.’

’Is there anything wrong with him giving some business to another one of his companies?’

Throughout the tasting, the three little ones and Zhou Meng were unanimous in their praise.

”Boss.”

Seeing Qi Sheng, Huang Zhihui didn’t dare to be presumptuous, quickly bowing slightly as he extended his hand.

”Chef Huang, I’m entrusting you with Yu Tu’s first location in Hangzhou.”

”President Zhou will give you his full support. I hope that your collaboration will turn Yu Tu into a culinary landmark for Hangzhou!”

Hearing the high hopes his boss had for him, Huang Zhihui felt immense pressure, but he was also filled with motivation.

”I will do everything in my power to make Yu Tu the pinnacle of high-end Chinese dining in Hangzhou!”

”Then, over the next few months, you’ll be responsible for wrapping things up at the restaurant over at the Mandarin Oriental.”

Qi Sheng didn’t know what methods the System had used to persuade the Mandarin Oriental to let the chef go.

But he had no intention of burning bridges.

’Who knows? Maybe one day I’ll be the owner of the Mandarin Oriental myself.’

”Thank you, Boss.”

Huang Zhihui bowed gratefully.

He was still very fond of the Mandarin Oriental.

They had given him respect and trust.

Parting on relatively amicable terms would be beneficial for both sides.

...

After dropping off the two little ones, Qi Sheng drove the Cullinan with Tao Siyao as his passenger.

He bought some gifts and drove to the Dongfang Runyuan District.

”Yaoyao, this residential district of yours isn’t cheap, is it?”

Even from a distance, Qi Sheng could see the conscientious security guards.

The residents coming and going were all well-dressed.

The overall caliber was clearly a cut above that of an ordinary community.

”Of course! My family bought our place here back in ’06. At the time, it was even ranked third among the top ten luxury residential properties in the country!”

”Elder Zong from Wahaha and many other famous business figures are all homeowners in Dongfang Runyuan.”

”It cost 10 million yuan when we bought it, and its value has been rising ever since.”

”Someone offered 40 million for it recently, but my dad couldn’t bear to sell it.”

Tao Siyao explained to Qi Sheng, a proud look on her face.

This house was pretty much her family’s single largest asset.
