The story of a cook

Chapter 608 Leaving (End)
On the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Li Shuang hadn't waited to talk to Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang brought the intern manager to Fisherman's Wharf and told Li Shuang to hand over the intern manager.
Then go to the office to go through the resignation procedures.

I just finished answering Li Shuang's call here, and Yang Zhijun called over there, saying that Li Shuangliang brought in a chef this morning and replaced him, and he is now going to the office to process his resignation.

This was expected to happen, but not so soon.

At this time, I was on my way to the office, and I was in a very bad mood.Slowly slow down, light a cigarette, and organize your thoughts while walking.No, I have to call Yan Li, some things need to be clarified, it's not good to be bored like this.

Yan Li answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Yan."

"Hello Old Tan."

"Mr. Yan, the kitchen is stable now, and you are also making personnel adjustments. I, Old Tan, understand what's going on. We don't need to be embarrassed. You

When can I go? "I asked directly.

"——" There was no speaking for a long time.

After a while, Yan Li said: "Old Tan, I hope we can cooperate for the second time."

"Okay, I won't go to work today, I've been here in Binhai for a long time, and I haven't taken a walk much yet, take a stroll." I said.

"Okay, it's winter, and there's nothing to play."

"It's okay, just walk around. By the way, Zhou Xiaomei and Huang Lihua's resignation is also handled. Let's go together."

"it is good."

After putting down the phone, my heart became much brighter, and my whole body was much more relaxed.

He let out a long breath and stood there looking at the sky, suddenly a feeling of bewilderment came over his heart, even a kind of sadness.Three years, three full years, I didn't expect it to end like this in the end.Half a month ago, I was full of enthusiasm and wanted to do a big job in [-], and the turnover exceeded [-] million, but I didn't expect to be laid off so soon.

I never dreamed that I would be laid off so soon. I really don't know which one will come first, surprise or surprise.

Fortunately, the current cultivation of xinxing is very good. Although I have not reached the level of not being happy with things and not sad with myself, I can still accept such things with a normal state of mind. 37. People who are almost 40 years old will live in vain if they don't have the psychological endurance.

No need to go to the office, where to go?Suddenly, I feel that I really don't know where to go other than the office and the four stores?For three years, I hardly left the store, never visited a tourist attraction, not even the most famous Xinghai Square.When I was a chef, I took a few days off, and I never took a break after I became the head chef.

I went back home three times in three years, and I didn't spend a Spring Festival at home.I am a little sorry for my wife and children, and even more sorry for my mother.This time I have time, and the family of three will go back to their hometown to spend the new year with their mother.

Do you resent Yan Li in your heart?No resentment, nothing to resent.All of this is normal, no one knows what will happen, and everything that happens has its own inevitability.

Many things are not transferred by personal will, and have their own reasons, processes, and results.

In Qinghua Pavilion, he has achieved the pinnacle of what a chef can do, which is already satisfying.

no regrets.

Walking slowly on the street, he received a call from Yang Zhijun. He had already completed the resignation procedures and was about to go back to pack his things and return to the provincial capital.Tell him that I have come down too, and I will go back together in two days.He said no, now he can't wait to get home right away, he told me to see you in the provincial capital in a cool way, and went back to pack his things.

Putting down the phone and laughing, this kid has always been like this, maverick, but also living in style.

In less than half an hour, Li Shuang called and said that he had completed the resignation procedures with Du Na, and asked where I was, and I said I was on the street.

"Boss, Du Na and I went back to the provincial capital directly. We haven't left our job yet and haven't thought about our children. The thought of children after leaving our job can't be cured. We can't wait to get home right away." Li Shuang said.

"Hurry up and go back to clean up. Yang Zhijun will also go to clean up. Give him a call so you can take a ride." I said.

"I met you in the office just now, we agreed, take a bus back, Boss, see you in the provincial capital!"

Li Shuang hung up the phone excitedly, probably her heart has already flown to her son.

I also miss my son. This time I go back and stay in my hometown for a few more days. I will visit my sisters’ homes and go from house to house. I will come back after the [-]th day of the first lunar month.I haven't rested much these years, so I took this opportunity to take a good rest.Cultivate and cultivate a relationship with his son, and also cultivate a relationship with Lin Yan.

Thinking of Lin Yan has a headache, and now I don't know how to get along with her.I can't help being funny, I don't know what to do with my daughter-in-law, and no one believes it when I tell it, but the fact is like this.

The phone rang again, this time it was Zhou Xiaomei.

"Uncle, do you know that Li Shuang and Yang Zhijun are gone?" she asked.

"Yes, call me." I said.

"Then when are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow, I guess you will come down tomorrow."

"Great, you can go home for the New Year."

"It is estimated that Mr. Wang will be able to find you in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

These people are so happy to hear that they are laid off, and none of them are unhappy, which is strange.It seems that they don't want to work here a long time ago. If it wasn't because I left early, I would also be harmful.

I can't walk on the street all the time, it's so cold.I'm leaving Binhai, call Zhou Lan and see what she's doing.

Zhou Lan was staying at home, just in time, I went to see her.

I don't have many friends in Binhai, she is the closest.

Yao Liying wasn't there when I arrived at her house, she was at the Internet cafe, I'll be back later.Zhou Lan is a little fatter, probably because she always stays at home and doesn't exercise much.

"Brother Tan, are you not working there anymore?" she asked.

"Quit, come down today." I said.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go back to the provincial capital and go home for the New Year."

"Yes, it's good to go home for the New Year, so why don't you come to Binhai?"

"I don't plan to come anymore. I'm looking for a job in the provincial capital. I can't always be out of town. I have to stay at home and take care of my wife and children."

"That's right, you can't do it in other places, you should do it in front of your home, unlike me who has no family and no job, you can do it anywhere."

After she finished speaking, she laughed at herself, and couldn't help but sigh, we are the same age, we were only 22 when we met her, and now we are 37, 15 years have passed, we are both middle-aged, and there are signs of time on our faces.

There can be several 15 years in life, and it will pass in a flash.

After chatting with her for a while, Yao Liying came back with a few boxes of packed vegetables, ate lunch here, drank wine with the two of them, went back to the apartment in the afternoon, and had a good sleep.

After sleeping until [-] o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xiaojun called and said that he would have dinner at Hongfu Hotel in the evening.He already knew the news that I would not do it, and he was going to treat him to a meal.After working together for a long time, I readily agreed.

Immediately afterwards, I received a call from Zhou Xiaomei, saying that Mr. Wang had already talked to her, and that she could leave after finishing her resignation tomorrow.I asked her if she wanted to go with me, and she said no, she wanted to take the train from Binhai to Beipiao, and we couldn't go together.Like Li Shuang and Yang Zhijun, he said "see you in the provincial capital" and happily hung up the phone.

Nine o'clock, Hongfu Hotel.

There are more than 20 chefs on the stove in the old shop, including Li Mingjuan, Jiang Yajun, Wang Hong, Zhou Jing, Hao Guangsheng from Fisherman's Wharf, Du and Li from coarse grains, Wang Yaxin, and Lao Qiao from the new shop.

Zhao Xiaojun said: "Boss, these are representatives. Many people wanted to come and didn't let them come. They all asked me to send a message to you to go to the store tomorrow to say goodbye to the brothers."

His eyes were a little wet, and he hurriedly said, "I have to go tomorrow."

I drank a lot of wine with these brothers and sisters who shared weal and woe, as long as someone came to toast, I didn't know how much I drank, but surprisingly, my head was very clear and not drunk at all.

After drinking, everyone reluctantly left. Zhao Xiaojun and Hao Guangsheng saw that I drank a lot and sent me back to the apartment.

I went to the old store the next morning. When the regular meeting was held, the front desk and kitchen staff were there, and everyone stood there quietly looking at me, waiting for me to make my last speech.

Looking at the brothers and sisters who have worked together for three years in front of me, the feeling in my heart is the same as knocking over a five-flavored bottle.Familiar faces, pairs of sincere eyes, the reluctance and nostalgia in the eyes are heartbreaking.

A short farewell speech, choked up intermittently, unable to speak for a few times, as if the throat was blocked with cotton.

Every regular meeting ended with applause, but not this time.The brothers and sisters hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes, patted each other on the back, and said "Treasure!"

The men were better, holding back their tears and wiping them gently when they turned around.The women were weeping softly at first, and gradually they began to cry——
Especially the sisters in the pastry group, the tears flooded the whole heart——
The little waiter hugged me and called Uncle Tan, tears streaming down my face——
The whole hall is filled with the sadness of parting——
With a long sigh in my heart, it is worth it for Lao Tan to be able to do this. I have never been a chef for nothing in my life!
Under the reluctant and tearful eyes of all the brothers and sisters, they walked towards the store door with relief, and standing there stood Mr. Wang, Manager Chen, and the somewhat silly Zhuang Chujing.

Manager Chen wiped the tears from his face, and Mr. Wang's eyes were moist.

They came to say goodbye on behalf of Yan Li, and shook hands with them one by one, saying how much they cherish each other.

Farewell, Marina!
Farewell, Blue and White Pavilion!

Farewell, brothers and sisters!
