Tang Feifei spoke huffily, her little hand making another ear-twisting gesture, while Xiao Muxue, rarely seen joining in such antics, indicated with her tone that their words must be true.
"Sorry, sorry... I just thought of sothing good and got distracted..."
Qin Fang was also very embarrassed. He had just realized the benefits of the "Junior Master" skill and couldn't help but get overly excited.
Luckily, he was using his Riding Skill while driving, and even though he wasn't paying much attention to his surroundings, nobody could have a steadier ride than his—it was as if a computer controlled everything, operating automatically.
"You... be careful when driving. If you space out again, see how we deal with you!"
Tang Feifei and Xiao Muxue couldn't help it; despite their fierce looks earlier, they were simply worried about Qin Fang. His condition really did seem abnormal, almost as if he was spacing out.
"Got it, got it!"
Qin Fang responded hastily, his excitent having subsided by now. How could he make the sa mistake again?
After this scare, Qin Fang behaved much better and drove straight back to Fang Feixue.
After days of preparation, the facade of Fang Feixue had been completely redecorated, the parking lot had been arranged, and they had even signed an agreent with a large nearby marketplace to allow free parking there with a Fang Feixue parking card.
This was a display of Qin Fang's confidence in Fang Feixue, his precaution against future issues. He didn't want to damage Fang Feixue's interests because of such a small mistake when crunch ti arrived.
Xiao Qing and the other four interdiate managers had all started their positions, and within just a couple of days, Xiao Qing had already trained the Fang Feixue staff remarkably well. The entire atmosphere had been rejuvenated, including the employees' spirits.
As Qin Fang's first disciple, Wen Yi had firmly secured her position as the top chef in Fang Feixue's kitchen. The original masters had long recognized her ability, and even the newly recruited chefs were impressed by her culinary skills.
As soon as Qin Fang returned to the restaurant, he imdiately appointed Wen Yi as the head chef of Fang Feixue. She was now in charge of the kitchen, with everyone else, including Uncle Fang and Xiao Qing, having only advisory power and no command authority—except for Qin Fang himself, of course.
Of course, this was due to Qin Fang's trust in Wen Yi, and also for another more important reason.
"Taking disciples?"
When the few key people in the restaurant heard the news, they were all stunned.
"Boss, are you really... really going to take disciples?"
Apart from Xiao Qing and a few new managers who were extrely shocked, the others, particularly the veteran chefs, were brimming with joy.
"Yes! Even though Fang Feixue's new branch has not yet opened, you are all longti servants of Fang Feixue. I'm sure you understand that its future will continue to grow. However, Wen Yi is only one person. In the future, as we open new branches, we will need others to oversee them, so I plan to take on new disciples..."
Qin Fang seed very calm, and even though he was very excited inside, his face didn't show it.
"Boss, how many disciples are you planning to take this ti?"
A senior chef imdiately asked. They were amongst the earliest to follow Qin Fang. While Wen Yi was now their head, their admiration for Qin Fang had always been greater than for her.
This was no surprise since when Fang Feixue opened, Qin Fang was already at Interdiate Cooking, whereas Wen Yi had only just reached that level, naturally unable to compare with Qin Fang.
"Two..."
Qin Fang held up his fingers, quietly stating the number.
"Two..."
A mont of disappointnt flitted across the faces of the senior chefs, but it quickly turned into surprise, and one of them imdiately said, "Boss, I have a distant nephew..."
"My nephew also..."
"I..."
No sooner had Qin Fang ntioned his intention than the old-tirs began vying with one another, which shocked the newly joined managers and chefs of Fang Feixue.
Qin Fang, the owner of Fang Feixue, certainly didn't need this eager sucking up.
Learning this craft was different from others, especially for chefs, who start out with hard tis. These people all started as apprentices, enduring years to beco skilled, and because of the hardship, they didn't want their children retracing their arduous paths.
But to their amazent, these veteran chefs, who made the newcors feel inferior, couldn't wait to push their sons and daughters forward at the whisper of the boss taking disciples.
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Qin Fang had a wry smile on his face. The senior chefs had been rather puzzled when he first took Wen Yi as a disciple and hadn't thought she was anything special.
But Qin Fang's way of teaching was different from the norm. In just a few days, his disciple's ran skills had improved drastically. Although she couldn't compare to Boss Qin Fang, she was far better than the other masters.
And this was only the beginning. Wen Yi gradually moved from ran to cooking. Although she started out ordinary, her dishes beca increasingly delicious, and she kept trying new things and innovating. She created several signature dishes for Fang Feixue, and even the old chefs benefitted, each gaining one or two signature dishes of their own.
