Chapter 1682: Chapter 1661: Stubborn to a Fault
Liang Dong was still cooking, but the waiter quickly brought out the first dish.
Sour and spicy shredded potatoes, any Huaxia person can make it, but whether it tastes good really tests one’s skills, and for Gao Yang, Liang Dong’s cooking was exactly to his liking.
Stir-fried pork with green peppers, Mapo tofu, Gao Yang was very satisfied. He was extrely satisfied, especially when Liang Dong personally brought out a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, after tasting a couple of bites, Gao Yang had already made a decision.
At all costs, he must recruit Liang Dong.
Gao Yang was extrely satisfied, he raised his head, looked at Liang Dong seriously, and said, “Um, do you know how to make sweet and sour pork?”
Liang Dong laughed and then said casually, “I do, and I’m very good at it.”
Gao Yang clapped his hands and said sincerely, “That’s great!”
Gao Yang asked this on behalf of his father-in-law.
Glolov’s favorite dish is sweet and sour pork; this greasy yet sweet dish beca his favorite after Gao Yang introduced him to Chinese food. Moreover, not only Glolov, but also Natalia and Yelena love it. Cui Bo used to say that’s the only thing Russians can appreciate.
Gao Yang twisted his neck slightly, then said expectantly, “So, red braised pork, stewed ribs, you must know how to make those too, right?”
Liang Dong said with a bit of confusion, “Well, if you’re a chef and can’t make those, that’d be kind of embarrassing, wouldn’t it?”
Gao Yang clapped his hands again and then laughed, “Very good, very good! Are you good at grilling? Like grilling lamb or chicken?”
Liang Dong smiled and said, “I’m good at it, it’s quite simple, as long as the at is marinated well, it can be grilled deliciously.”
Gao Yang was itching with desire. He had a team with a very diverse background, and it wasn’t enough just to satisfy the Huaxia people’s appetite, he also had to consider the complex tastes of his brothers, so he said expectantly, “Then do you know any simple Western dishes? Like fish and chips, spaghetti, or baking a pizza or sothing.”
Liang Dong shook his head and said with a wry smile, “What you’re talking about are Western dishes, this…”
Gao Yang said a bit disappointedly, “You don’t? Oh, well, that’s normal.”
“I’m not skilled at that.”
After saying this, Liang Dong shrugged and then said with a face full of regret, “I learned a bit of Western cuisine after retiring, but I’m not good at it, as I haven’t put in much effort. However, I actually do know how to make pizza and pasta because I worked at a buffet restaurant, but if you want to compare to those foreigners who specialize in these, that’s impossible.”
Gao Yang let out a long breath, clapped his hands, pointed at Liang Dong, and said, “Alright, it’s you.”
Liang Dong looked puzzled and asked, “What do you an?”
Chen Tiangu laughed and said, “Little Gao has his eye on you, he wants to hire you as a chef, you two should have a good chat. Let tell you, Little Gao is into big business, it’s your chance to strike it rich!”
Liang Dong frowned, lowered his voice, and said, “Hire as a chef?”
Gao Yang nodded repeatedly, then said in a deep voice, “That’s right, to hire you as a chef, um, as a chef.”
Liang Dong thought for a mont, then looked at Gao Yang and said, “Where to?”
Gao Yang wiped his hands, then said seriously, “I can’t say where because I travel the world, but what I want you to do is cook, the sa duties as when you were in the army.”
Liang Dong nodded, then smiled at Gao Yang and said, “The location doesn’t really matter to , I just have one question, is it legal?”
Gao Yang paused for a mont, then decided to avoid this question, he extended one palm, and said solemnly, “I’ll give you a salary of one million a year, in US dollars, paid upfront.”
Chen Tiangu almost fell off his chair, he’s in the restaurant business, and it’s not a small place, but he doesn’t earn 500,000 a year.
Are you kidding, a salary of one million US dollars a year? There are only a few people in Arica who can get that.
Once the offer of a million-salary weapon is wielded, it’s invincible, Gao Yang has never failed before, but this ti, the situation seems a bit different.
Liang Dong only hesitated for a mont, really just a mont, less than five seconds, and then said seriously, “I just have one question, is it legal?”
Is being a rcenary legal? Of course, it’s not legal, Gao Yang suddenly felt a bit of a headache because he realized he might have encountered another stubborn person.
Not everyone who served in the military becos a Saint, but after a long ti in the military, so people really beco stubborn, Gao Yang was worried he had run into such a person.
Gao Yang coughed lightly, he didn’t want to lie, nor could he lie, because letting Liang Dong beco a rcenary would an they’d be comrades in life and death in the future, and deceit, whether well-ant or malicious, was not a tool he would use to recruit people, he absolutely wouldn’t rely on deceit or coercion.
Gao Yang rubbed his forehead with a slight headache, then said with a wry smile, “We’re not bad people, and we won’t do anything to harm Huaxia, I know you’re concerned about this.”
By a stroke of folly, Gao Yang said what he originally absolutely wouldn’t say, distinguishing between good and bad people, now he believed it had no significance.
Liang Dong said indifferently, “So people are good, but they do illegal things, so have respectable jobs, and a shining reputation, but they’re very bad people, both kinds of people are quite common, so saying whether you’re a good person or a bad person is aningless, I still ask the sa question, is this job legal?”
Chen Tiangu swallowed, after a long struggle, he finally seed to make a decision and said to Liang Dong, “At least listen to what exactly the job is, a salary of one million, and still paid upfront, as long as it’s not a job where you risk your life, anyway, if it were , I’d definitely do it!”
Gao Yang shook his head, deciding not to say what the job was.
Gao Yang felt it was impossible to persuade Liang Dong, this person is too principled, or maybe too stubborn, when he found out a one million salary couldn’t even make Liang Dong ask what the job was, Gao Yang decided to give up, speaking too deeply to a shallow acquaintance is taboo, he encountered a stubborn man, or rather, a person with principles and a strong commitnt to uphold those principles, such a person deserves respect, but definitely not all truths should be revealed, so he certainly wouldn’t say he was a rcenary.
Gao Yang smiled, then he held up one finger and said loudly, “After-tax salary of one hundred thousand a year, work as a chef in my company’s cafeteria, guaranteed legal, do you want to do it or not?”
Liang Dong laughed heartily, raised his glass towards Gao Yang, and said, “Of course I’ll do it, honored that Boss Gao thinks highly of , after-tax salary of a hundred thousand, that’s a high inco! Here, I can only get fifty thousand after tax, and that’s with my uncle looking after , as a chef, if I get a hundred thousand, I’d be crazy not to do it, co, Boss Gao, I toast you.”
Hearing Liang Dong speak, Gao Yang felt he wasn’t that kind of absolute stubborn person, so he felt a glimr of hope rekindled in his heart, and said quietly, “Don’t you want to know what the million-dollar salary job is all about?”
