After Cao Jinghui finished speaking, he sized up Guo Guang.
He realized that this person was different from before.
In the past, when he was criticized, he would lower his head and at least appear to be ashamed.
But now, Guo Guang was standing there. Although he didn't say anything, he was a little too confident.
Also, Cao Jinghui really didn't like the way Guo Guang looked at him.
His small eyes were quite sharp and didn't look like the look of a subordinate at all.
This kid was completely unconvinced.
Cao Jinghui said, "Guo Guang, do you have a problem with the punishment?"
Before Guo Guang could speak, another person couldn't help but speak up.
"This is too ridiculous. Brother Guo didn't slack off at all. This is completely slander …"
The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties.
His name was Fang Tao and he was a chef in the kitchen. He had been working for less than three months and was still on probation.
Fang Tao was recruited by Guo Guang when Guo Guang was still the head chef.
Guo Guang felt that Fang Tao had a good understanding and was a talent that could be molded, so he taught him from time to time. After more than two months, Fang Tao had learned a lot.
Fang Tao was a little unhappy that Guo Guang was demoted to second chef, but he was new and knew that he couldn't help Guo Guang, so he endured it.
But today, when he heard the two so-called punishment decisions, he felt that it was too unfair.
Fang Tao was young and impetuous and a little straightforward, so he couldn't help but speak up.
His words were tantamount to throwing a stone into the lake and immediately caused ripples.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't expect that someone would really stand up for Guo Guang.
Some people who were closer to Guo Guang also wanted to say something, but when they saw Cao Jinghui's murderous gaze, most of them held back.
Everyone worked to make a living. They really didn't want to lose their jobs for anyone.
As soon as Fang Tao finished speaking, Ding Yang started to talk back.
He was the head chef and the one who "reported" Guo Guang's slack to Cao Jinghui was also him. Naturally, he couldn't stand Fang Tao's words.
"Fang Tao, what do you mean? Are you saying that Guo Guang did a good job? "
Fang Tao: "You know very well whether Brother Guo did a good job or not. Everyone saw it too. Do you think others don't know how capable you are?"
Since Fang Tao had openly provoked Ding Yang and Cao Jinghui, he didn't want to be kind. He simply said what he wanted to say to vent his anger.
Ding Yang chuckled. "Little brat, you're quite loyal."
Fang Tao glared at Ding Yang. "Bootlicker, who are you calling a brat!?"
Ding Yang's expression changed. "You, say that again!?"
Fang Tao: "Bootlicker! Bootlicker! Bootlicker … Aren't you cheap? Do you want to hear people scold you? How many times do you want to hear it? I can satisfy you. "
Ding Yang's anger was beyond words.
"Chi!"
Someone couldn't help but laugh.
This time, it was Zhang Mingwei.
Ding Yang: "Zhang Mingwei, what are you laughing at? What's so funny? "
Zhang Mingwei cursed in his heart. This Ding Yang was too arrogant just because he had someone backing him up. He bit everyone he saw.
Zhang Mingwei: "What? Now that you've encountered something funny, you won't let me laugh? Why do you care so much? "
At this time, Cao Jinghui said, "Alright, stop arguing! Are all of you crazy? " Do you even know the rules!? "
Cao Jinghui glared at Zhang Mingwei fiercely, then his gaze fell on Fang Tao.
"Fang Tao, this is my punishment decision. Who are you to say anything!?"
Cao Jinghui pointed at Fang Tao and said loudly, "I still say the same thing. If you're not satisfied with this team, you have your own solution, and that is to leave. This temple is small and can't accommodate a big Bodhisattva like you!"
Cao Jinghui often scolded people, but saying this publicly was quite serious.
Everyone looked at Fang Tao, who was disheartened by the scolding.
It wasn't hard to imagine that Fang Tao's application to become an official member would be ruined.
Sigh, young people are too impulsive and don't know how to endure.
How could it be easy to stand up for someone else?
Cao Jinghui targeted Zhang Mingwei again. "Zhang Mingwei, you're an old employee. You don't need me to teach you what to do and what not to do, do you?"
Zhang Mingwei originally didn't want to cause any more trouble, but when he heard Cao Jinghui's criticism, of course he was unhappy.
Zhang Mingwei rolled his eyes and turned his head away.
I won't listen, I won't look, I'll let you talk nonsense.
Cao Jinghui was angry. "Zhang Mingwei! You'd better f * cking behave! Don't think that I don't dare to fire you! "
With Cao Jinghui's anger, the crowd finally quieted down.
"Guo Guang," Cao Jinghui called.
Guo Guang: "Manager Cao, why did you call me?"
Cao Jinghui: "Don't play dumb. My punishment decision, do you accept it or not?"
Guo Guang: "So what if I accept it? So what if I don't accept it?"
Cao Jinghui: "If you accept it, you can continue to do your job as a chef. If you don't accept it, I'll give you a dismissal letter. As the restaurant manager, I'll immediately approve it!"
When the others heard this, they knew that Cao Jinghui was forcing Guo Guang into a corner.
For a veteran chef like Guo Guang, accepting such a punishment was simply a great humiliation.
One had to know that the economic environment was generally not good.
Although it wasn't difficult for chefs, especially experienced western chefs, to find jobs in the capital, those were all ordinary positions.
Western head chefs and veteran chefs weren't in high demand.
Outside of Blue Frog, it wasn't easy to find a similar scale and similar treatment.
Also, being forced to sign a dismissal letter was like being kicked out of a restaurant. There would be a stain on his resume, and it wouldn't be easy for him to survive in the western cooking circle.
Therefore, when faced with such a situation, most people would still have to accept a huge pay cut and endure the humiliation for a while. If they were really unhappy, they would take the initiative to resign.
In fact, Cao Jinghui dared to give Guo Guang such a severe punishment because he knew that this guy wouldn't choose to be fired.
Firing him wouldn't benefit either side.
Guo Guang would lose a good job with a bright future.
Cao Jinghui's restaurant would lose a "good head chef."
As for Ding Yang?
Cao Jinghui also knew that this kid wasn't good enough and wouldn't be able to make it.
But he was popular, so there was nothing he could do about it.
Who told Guo Guang to not know how to have a good relationship with his boss?
If he didn't know how to curry favor, no matter how good his cooking skills were, he wouldn't be able to get any benefits.
At this time, Ding Yang said to Guo Guang: "Old Guo, just accept it. Go back and do a good job in the kitchen. If you perform well, Manager Cao will give me a raise."
Ding Yang wanted to give Guo Guang a hard time, but he didn't want to fire him.
There were a lot of jobs that Guo Guang had to do. Otherwise, he would be scolded to death by those picky old customers.
However, Guo Guang said sullenly: "Manager Cao, you should give me compensation for firing me, right?"
