Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten

"Chef Huang, Director Liang, it’s getting late. You’re still busy, and since there’s nothing else you need my help with, I’ll head back for now. I’ll be here on time tomorrow to report in~"

"Director Liang, Huang Jun, and all the leaders present, everyone worked hard on the tasting session this afternoon. Let’s meet again tomorrow, bye~"

"Chef Huang, Director Liang, see you tomorrow. I’ll definitely be here on time..."

"See you tomorrow, Chef Huang, Director Liang..."

Zheng Yaohua and the other three all waved goodbye to Huang Jun and Liang Yinqiu and then gradually left the kitchen, heading towards the kindergarten’s entrance.

"Hi! Are you four done with the tasting session?"

Uncle Li had noticed them early and, as they approached, stood up, opened the gate with a big smile, and asked, "I see you’re all looking very pleased, did the interview go well?"

But...

Then thinking again, wasn’t the kindergarten only planning to hire two assistant chefs?

So here’s the question!

Which two were accepted?

And which two were eliminated?"

He hadn’t had the chance to voice his questions when all four cheerfully replied, "Yes, Uncle, thanks to you, from now on, we’ll be assistant chefs in the Dorami Kindergarten family. We’ll be colleagues, so please take care of us."

Uncle Li was taken aback, surprised, "All four of you became assistant chefs successfully? If I remember correctly, the kindergarten only intended to hire two assistant chefs, right?"

Zhao Weiguang explained with a smile, "Yes, originally there were only two spots. But Old Yu and I couldn’t stand the thought of missing this opportunity, so we took the bold step to plead with Director Liang and Chef Huang. To our surprise, they made an exception for us."

Yu Daqing quickly added, "Yes, we weren’t chosen initially, but we didn’t want to leave just like that. After all, we came here to apply to be assistant chefs so we could learn cooking skills from Chef Huang. So we proactively suggested reducing our salary and asked them for a chance to learn. To our surprise, Director Liang was so understanding and actually agreed."

Uncle Li was slightly surprised upon hearing this.

What determination!

To be willing to lower their salary just to stay learning.

But truth be told, Chef Huang’s culinary skills are extraordinary, worth such dedication.

He chuckled, "Oh, well then, you better seize this opportunity. Sticking close to Chef Huang, you’ll definitely learn a lot."

"Yes, we think so too!" Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang exchanged smiles, nodded in mutual understanding, and continued, "It’s late today. When we have time, we’ll surely invite you for a drink."

Zheng Yaohua and Meng Hongze quickly nodded in agreement, wearing sincere smiles, "Yes, Uncle Li, we’ll invite you for a drink another day to celebrate."

These words caught Uncle Li’s attention, making his eyes light up, a satisfied smile curling at his mouth, laughing as he said, "Haha, good! Then I’ll be waiting. Seeing you young folks full of drive and determination makes this old man happy too. Work hard, the future is promising!"

"Alright!"

The four answered in unison.

"See you tomorrow!"

Uncle Li waved goodbye to them, and the four nodded in response, turning to walk out of the gate.

As they stepped out of the gate...

Zheng Yaohua politely and enthusiastically asked, "What are your plans for the rest of the day? Do you need a ride from me?"

Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang exchanged a knowing smile, gratefully declining Zheng Yaohua’s offer, "Thanks for the offer, but we’re planning to take a taxi back, it’s very convenient."

"Sounds good. Be sure to be safe on the road. See you tomorrow!" Zheng Yaohua said with a hearty laugh, then turned to Meng Hongze to ask, "Xiaomeng, what about you? Need my help?"

Meng Hongze smiled and shook his head, "Thanks, Brother Zheng, but I drove here today."

Saying this, he pressed the button on his car key.

In that instant...

The headlights of a Porsche lit up suddenly, like a meteor in the night sky, instantly capturing the attention of Zheng Yaohua, Yu Daqing, and Zhao Weiguang.

Wow~

Am I seeing this right?

Is that a sports car?

Looks like a Porsche 911!

Ssss~

Meng Hongze, this guy, is so wealthy, driving a luxury car at such a young age?

Seems like he comes from a wealthy family...

Guess he’s a trust fund kid, huh?!

At this point.

Inside Yu Daqing and Zhao Weiguang’s hearts, a subtle ripple began to stir.

Originally thinking they were all ordinary people under the same sky, striving for dreams and living hard, it turned out Meng Hongze was the one born with a silver spoon, standing on the peak of "Rome" since childhood.

Now that we think about it.

Since Meng Hongze already possesses such immense wealth, why would he choose to apply for this ordinary assistant chef job at Dorami Kindergarten?

Is it to experience the life of ordinary people, to find some different kind of joy?

Or is it due to a passion for cooking, wanting to follow Chef Huang and learn his exquisite culinary skills?

They lean towards believing the latter, thinking Meng Hongze is here for the same reason as them, chasing after Chef Huang’s admirable culinary expertise.

And this shared pursuit of culinary art quietly created a subtle resonance between them, making them see Meng Hongze as not just a spoiled trust fund kid, but someone with his own aspirations and dreams.
