Chapter 507: An Offer That's Hard to Refuse
He could tell what was on his mind with just one look.
"Second, you choose your own work hours."
"Third, a monthly salary of three hundred thousand."
Every condition Ouyang Lingxiao set stunned everyone in the kitchen.
Because these conditions were one better than the next.
Just to cook fried rice with eggs, choose your own work hours, and even get a monthly salary of three hundred thousand.
What does that mean?
Basically, it's nearly catching up to Chef Liu.
But you think that's it?
No, it's not over yet.
"Fourth, from now on, all of your friends who dine at our restaurant will eat for free."
This condition is even more terrifying.
Because the consumption here is quite high.
A single meal might cost tens or even hundreds of thousands.
If they come to dine every day.
Spending ten million a year would be no problem.
But generally, people wouldn't be so insensitive as to come every day for a free feast.
Everyone was stunned.
Only Chef Liu didn't see any problem with it at all.
Because his temper might be strange, but he truly respected Su Chen from the bottom of his heart.
Not for anything else, but because Su Chen was willing to teach him the secrets of fried rice with eggs without asking for anything in return.
Mia, on the other hand, was very frustrated.
She had just said that Su Chen only knows how to make fried rice with eggs, what's so great about that.
And in the blink of an eye, the boss came over and wanted to hire Su Chen for a monthly salary of three hundred thousand.
A monthly salary of three hundred thousand, to her, wasn't considered a lot.
But it was still a very high treatment.
"Hurry and accept the Lady Boss's offer, a monthly salary of three hundred thousand, that's much more than what you make at that small clothing company!" Mia ridiculed.
"Yeah, Su Chen, this is a great opportunity, men may not need to be particularly wealthy, but you can't let your girl suffer. After all, EVE was our school beauty back then, you can't have her wear clothes worth tens of yuan or buy her cheap cosmetics worth several tens of yuan, right?" Du Meimei chimed in.
Su Chen was utterly speechless towards Lin Xi's female classmates.
He shook his head and said to Ouyang Lingxiao, "There doesn't seem to be a reason for me to refuse the conditions set by Boss Ouyang."
"So you've agreed?" Ouyang Lingxiao's eyes brightened.
She knew well how much influence a great chef could have.
The fame her restaurant has now is all thanks to Chef Liu.
If she could get Su Chen on board.
Even if he only made one portion of fried rice with eggs a day, the profits it would bring her would far exceed the compensation she was offering Su Chen.
"I'm sorry, I might have to disappoint the Lady Boss, I have no plans to change jobs for the time being," Su Chen said lightly.
"What? You refused? Are you crazy? Missing out on such a good opportunity, where else could you find such a deal?" Mia felt pity for Su Chen.
This time she truly felt it was a pity.
Su Chen's fried rice with eggs was indeed very tasty.
But you have to understand, if he were only to make fried rice with eggs, very few restaurants would hire him.
It was really only because Ouyang Lingxiao appreciated him.
If it were any other restaurant, forget about three hundred thousand, maybe even thirty thousand wouldn't be offered.
It can be said that if Su Chen misses this opportunity, he will never encounter such a good thing again.
"Mr. Su, are the conditions not generous enough? If you think the offer is not good enough, we could negotiate further."
We could negotiate further!
This showed Ouyang Lingxiao's determination.
"Boss Ouyang, the conditions you've put forth are already very generous, I truly just don't want to change jobs, I'm currently working at the same company as my wife, and I feel very happy," Su Chen said lightly.
"Your wife?" Ouyang Lingxiao squinted her eyes.
His gaze swept across the room as if trying to identify who Su Chen's wife was.
"Hello, I am his wife, Lin Xi." This time, Lin Xi took the initiative to stand out.
Today, Su Chen's performance was simply too outstanding.
Not because Su Chen had helped her save face in front of her old classmates.
But because she was genuinely happy.
Happy for Su Chen.
And the happier she felt in her heart.
After all, from the beginning, there was always some reluctance in her heart to accept Su Chen.
That was because she, Lin Xi, was so outstanding, how could she marry such a mediocre man.
Even if she was willing, how would the outside world view it?
Wouldn't Su Chen feel inferior inside?
In fact, Lin Xi was overthinking, Su Chen never felt inferior...
"Lin Xi?" Ouyang Lingxiao was slightly startled upon hearing this, and his gaze couldn't help but linger on Lin Xi for a few more moments.
Eventually, he sighed and said, "I understand, I wish you a pleasant meal. This meal is on me."
After saying that, Ouyang Lingxiao turned and left.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
What was this situation about?
Just now, Ouyang Lingxiao had appeared to be desperately in search of talent.
He even offered Su Chen conditions that would drive anyone crazy.
But why did he give up in the blink of an eye?
Of course, Ouyang Lingxiao had to give up.
Who was Lin Xi? Maybe her old classmates who had just returned to the country didn't know, but as someone from the upper circles, how could Ouyang Lingxiao not know Lin Xi?
She was Jiangdu City's number one beauty and CEO.
With a net worth of billions.
Knowing this, if she didn't give up, it would be somewhat presumptuous of her.
Because when it came to wealth, she couldn't compare with Lin Xi.
In terms of appearance and figure, she couldn't compare with Lin Xi.
When it came to wisdom, she was still no match for Lin Xi.
She appeared to be running such a big shop.
But this shop was not built up by herself.
It was the inheritance from her late husband.
After learning that Su Chen was the top chef that Chef Liu couldn't stop thinking about.
She had even thought about using her beauty to keep Su Chen.
After all, although she was a widow, her looks and figure were among the top in Jiangdu City.
The number of men who wanted to pursue her, if not a thousand, surely reached eight hundred.
Regrettably.
Su Chen was that woman's husband...
She did not have the courage to compete.
Moreover, as long as Su Chen wasn't foolish, he also would not leave his goddess CEO wife to work for a widow.
So, Ouyang Lingxiao decisively gave up.
"Ah, what a pity, such a good opportunity."
"Exactly, the boss was keen on you, truly clueless."
"..."
Su Chen's refusal of Ouyang Lingxiao's offer made Lin Xi's old classmates unable to stand it any longer.
Because Ouyang Lingxiao did not reveal Lin Xi's identity, they all felt that Su Chen was giving up a piece of fat meat that was already at his mouth.
"Mr. Su..." Ouyang Lingxiao, who had already walked to the door, suddenly turned around.
"Hmm?" Su Chen looked towards Ouyang Lingxiao.
"Mr. Su is not willing to work at our restaurant, but if I sought Mr. Su to discuss culinary skills, Mr. Su wouldn't reject me, right?" Ouyang Lingxiao's face bore an extremely charming smile.
