Qu Fei Ang knew that what Bai Xiran said made sense. If he hadn’t been so ruthless back then, there might be room for negotiation in the cooperation with Jushanlou now. However…

“Don’t say anything more. I will find another way to deal with this matter. Don’t worry about it. Just concentrate on studying the information in the research institute. It would be best if you can improve this method to be more convenient.” Qu Fei Ang didn’t want to tell Bai Xiran everything that happened back then. Bai Xiran didn’t know it back then, and it’s better for her not to know it now.

Bai Xiran’s eyes darkened, and he agreed. But he turned around and booked an interstellar ticket to Aquamarine Star without Qu Fei Ang’s knowledge. When Qu Fei Ang found out that Bai Xiran had gone to Aquamarine Star on his own initiative, Bai Xiran was already on the long-distance spacecraft.

Zhou Shudi didn’t know that Bai Xiran had come to him with a purpose. He was busy with Zhou Jinnan testing the level of the newly recruited chefs to determine the final candidates. Due to the precedent of Wu Yan, the selection this time was more stringent than before. Everyone was allowed to enter the final cooking assessment only after Huo Xuan took the initiative to investigate their identity and background and confirmed that there was no problem.

“You let Wu Yan go so easily?” Mozhi asked suspiciously. As long as it thought of such a low-quality method appearing under its nose, it felt annoyed. “Is it really okay to leave everything to Huo Xuan directly?” Wu Yan’s wages during this period was deducted, and was directly sent to the Federal Police Department after Huo Xuan’s people forced him to tell what he knew. This end was not a punishment at all in Mozhi’s opinion.

 Zhou Jinnan walked past the chefs’ plating, recorded their scores one by one on his terminal interface, and sneered in his heart: “How is it possible? Feng Quan alone cannot handle the method Wu Yan stole, and more and more people will covet it after it spreads out. I handed Wu Yan over to Uncle Huo just to dig out the people behind Wu Yan who have been involved, but I am not going to let Feng Quan, who sent Wu Yan, go so easily. What’s the point of dealing with a small shrimp like Wu Yan? If you want to fight, just go for the big one.”

Zhou Jinnan can’t move the big group behind Zhenxiu Pavilion for the time being, but he can still deal with Feng Quan who dared to arrange spies in Jushanlou. The good days of this jumping clown who has repeatedly taken the initiative to cause trouble should come to an end.

 Zhou Jinnan didn’t want to deal with Feng Quan, but Feng Quan took the initiative to kill himself and kept showing his presence in front of him…

Mozhi was relieved. This was the Zhou Jinnan he knew: “Do you need my help?”

“You will definitely be needed at that time,” Zhou Jinnan said, and his attention shifted to the chef assessment. He was not satisfied with anyone. “The applicants this time are not as good as Shu Xiaotong and the others.”

Zhou Shudi saw Zhou Jinnan’s picky expression and explained: “Don’t be too demanding. These are young people with potential. If they have any shortcomings for the time being, they can make up for it through practice. You know how much we need people now. It’s okay as long as they can be used. And there is a probation period. If you are really not satisfied, you can remove them at that time.” If Jushanlou hadn’t appeared in the social news section to show its presence, the applicants would not be limited to Aquamarine Star and the Seventh Star District. The level of those who could stay until the end of the assessment this time might be even lower.

 Aquamarine Star is a bit remote. If Jushanlou was on the Capital Star, they would have more excellent chefs to choose from. After all, the Capital Star is where the best chefs and top restaurants in the Federation gather.

Finally, Zhou Jinnan reluctantly made do and kept a dozen newcomers. After these newcomers were assigned to different positions, the old hands who had been responsible for basic cutting, plating, water table and other odd jobs, such as Shu Xiaotong and Liang Yongning, were promoted to the next level and were able to get involved in seasoning and cooking under Zhou Jinnan’s supervision and guidance.

The old hands who had been responsible for different jobs were responsible for several newcomers, and the work in their hands was shared. Liang Yongning and others who had a faster learning progress shared some of Zhou Jinnan’s work. Jushanlou’s kitchen was finally no longer as busy as when it first opened, and everyone had to work all day to cope with the increasing demand of diners.

Considering that the training in spiritual food needs to be taught from scratch, Zhou Jinnan kept young people who have not yet formed cooking habits.

When Zhou Jinnan was about to give the initial training and guidance to the new back kitchen staff, he was pulled aside by Huo Xuan, who looked mysterious.

 “Zhou Jinnan, regarding the training method we discussed before, my brother-in-law hopes to send a group of people here for trial training first. Once there are clear results, it can be directly popularized in the army.” After avoiding other people, Huo Xuan whispered to Zhou Jinnan, “The people for trial training have been selected and prepared, and they can set off at any time.”

Zhou Jinnan frowned immediately and said in astonishment: “A group of people?!” He was almost overwhelmed by just instructing these ignorant guys now, so what did he want to do with another group of people? Did he think he didn’t have enough things to do now?

“They are all elites from various regiments,” Huo Xuan said, “their mental strength and physical fitness are at least A-level, which is definitely easier than teaching these chefs now.” Huo Xuan also practiced Zhou Jinnan’s method, and naturally understood that the more excellent the mental strength and physical fitness of the person, the better the effect of this method.

“Didn’t I give you the skills directly? Why don’t you arrange the training yourself?” Zhou Jinnan questioned, is it interesting to throw everything to him? The ones he picked out were the easiest ones in his private collection, but they still asked him to teach them step by step?

Huo Xuan rarely showed an embarrassed expression: “But… they don’t understand your skills very well… Although they can use mental power to control mechas, they have never really felt mental power and can’t get started…”

“…” This is very embarrassing. Zhou Jinnan took a deep breath. The different cultural systems are really a headache. He hypnotized himself and said, “Come on, come on, teach one person, teach a group…” After all, this matter cannot be avoided.

“By the way, is Xiao Kai’s treatment about to enter the last stage?” Huo Xuan asked another question, “I have collected all the medicinal herbs and materials you asked me to find, and I will send someone to deliver them in the next two days.”

Mozhi, who was curled up on Zhou Jinnan’s shoulder, couldn’t help but laugh while gloating: “Another thing, Zhou Jinnan, you haven’t been so busy in many years, right? Do you still have time to deal with that boss Feng?”

Yes – Mozhi! Zhou Jinnan suddenly felt relieved: “Uncle Huo, let Mozhi teach them. He happens to have time recently.” It is perfect for a Yuanying stage spirit beast to teach these people. Zhou Jinnan thought of this idea and looked at Mozhi, “Is that right, Mozhi?”

“Squeak?” Mozhi was confused: ??? This direction is wrong, isn’t it laughing at Zhou Jinnan? How did it suddenly become its business?

Huo Xuan looked at the small and white Mozhi hesitantly, his eyes full of disbelief: “This little snow ferret?” For so long, Huo Xuan’s impression of Mozhi was just a cute and naughty beast that often hung around Zhou Jinnan’s shoulders and made Zhou Jinnan angry from time to time. Zhou Jinnan actually said to leave such an important matter to it? And can beasts be the same as humans?

“Don’t underestimate Mozhi, it just looks harmless,” Zhou Jinnan said, “It’s just the introduction to mental training, Mozhi is more than enough to teach you.”

“Are you sure?” Huo Xuan still didn’t believe it.

 “If you don’t believe me, you can let Mozhi compete with Prince,” Zhou Jinnan lifted the whole beast from his shoulder and put it in his arms to stroke its fur amid Mozhi’s squeak of protest, “Spiritual training has the same goal, humans can do it, and so can beasts. It’s settled, you let your people come here and wait, and when Qin Kai’s mental strength is fully recovered, let these people gather with the newcomers in Jushanlou, which will save me the effort. As for the time, I still need to arrange it.” Eat one mouthful at a time, and solve the problems one by one. “Did you find out who got the mental power technique at Zhenxiu Pavilion?”

Huo Xuan nodded: “It was Baoda Group. Zhenxiu Pavilion is a high-end restaurant under Baoda Group. After the senior management of Zhenxiu Pavilion found out about this, they reported it directly to Baoda Group headquarters. This method is too important, so Baoda Group kept it secret and the relevant information was not circulated to the outside world.”

“If you don’t want it to be too troublesome, Baoda Group can be solved by our Huo family.” Huo Xuan took the initiative to propose.

Zhou Jinnan rejected Huo Xuan’s proposal: “No, Uncle Huo, you can help keep an eye on the other party’s actions, and we will solve the rest of the things ourselves later.” If he didn’t know that Baoda Group was behind Zhenxiu Pavilion before, he would be willing to agree to Huo Xuan’s proposal, but now that he knows, it’s not easy for him to decide on this matter alone. After all, there are Zhou Shudi and Zhou Zhifei, two people who have deeper entanglements with Baoda Group, and Zhou Jinnan has to consider their ideas.

 Huo Xuan was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Zhou Jinnan to refuse this time. But he understood after thinking about it: “I know, but if you need anything, you can ask. The Huo family and the Qin family will always be your partners.”

Zhou Jinnan couldn’t deny Huo Xuan’s words: “Then Uncle Huo, can you help me check Feng Quan’s recent schedule now?”

“Feng Quan? The businessman who invited Zhenxiu Pavilion to settle in Hailan Plaza?” Huo Xuan agreed immediately: “No problem, the information you need will be transmitted to your terminal by tomorrow morning at the latest. Do you want to make trouble for Feng Quan?”

“How can you say it’s making trouble?” Zhou Jinnan smiled slightly, “He has taken care of our Jushanlou for so long, it’s time for us to give something in return.”
