In this competitive world of work, have you ever wondered if a person's skills can be a lifesaver for him? Lao Hai, a name that is well-known in the culinary world, not only makes diners flock to him, but also makes those so-called "modern managers" red-eyed. But what happens when the ambition of the apprentice is intertwined with the calculation of the boss? Lao Hai's story is like a well-choreographed drama, which makes people ask: Is there still a master-apprentice relationship in this world? Is it so easy to replace a person's talent?
The hotel in Laohai was once a legend of the city. Each of his dishes is like a work of art created with great care, which is endlessly memorable. However, when Boss Lin's stock market dream was shattered and the hotel was sold to Boss Zhang, everything changed. Boss Zhang, a businessman who only understands the operation of capital, he can't see the value of Lao Hai, only numbers and profits. His arrival not only changed the fate of the hotel, but also ruthlessly rewrote Lao Hai's life.
"Modern management" sounds lofty, but in the hands of Boss Zhang, it has become a ruthless tool. He asked Lao Hai to train apprentices and let the apprentices compete with each other, as if this would ensure the future of the hotel. However, he overlooked one point: real cooking skills cannot be compared with simple imitation and competition. Lao Hai's apprentice, Xiao Zhou, his ambition and Boss Zhang's calculations, what will the end lead to?
Xiao Zhou, a seemingly diligent and clever young man, grew up rapidly under the guidance of Lao Hai. However, in his heart, there is an unknown ambition. He not only wants to learn Lao Hai's craft, but also wants to replace it. Boss Zhang's calculations coincide with his ambitions. They have only one purpose: to make Lao Hai a thing of the past and Xiao Zhou to be the new protagonist.
However, the truth is brutal. Although Xiao Zhou learned some of Lao Hai's skills, he never reached Lao Hai's level.
Customers began to complain, and old customers left. Xiao Zhou is still doing tricks and feet on ingredients, greedy for cheapness. As a result, the hotel's business deteriorated, and eventually, the restaurant closed down.
Boss Zhang found that Lao Hai was showing his strength in another hotel in the city, and those old customers followed. He was not convinced and framed Lao Hai for poisoning the dish. Lao Hai just smiled and took out a handful of colorless powder, which was the powder ground from rare plants in his hometown, his ancestral secret recipe. Every time he serves a dish, he just quietly sprinkles a little, that is, it belongs to his unique taste.
Lao Hai's story is not only a story about cooking and betrayal, it is a more profound reflection of humanity and survival wisdom in the workplace. In this story, we see the power of technology, but also the weakness of human nature. Lao Hai's secret seasoning eventually became his lifeline, and those who were greedy and short-sighted ended up with nothing.
This story teaches us that we need to be vigilant and wise, both in the workplace and in life. We cannot simply trust others, let alone rely on them completely. We need to have our own secret weapon and our own independent judgment, so that no matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter, we can protect ourselves and even turn defeat into victory.
