My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos) -
Chapter 804
Some of them could not hold themselves back any longer and came forward to plead for mercy in a low voice.
"Miss George, we don't mean to be so lazy. Please give us another chance. We'll work hard and not be sloppy ever again!"
"Yes, Miss George. We really know we're in the wrong!"
Eudora had no intention of firing all of them. After all, a business' profits depended on the leader of it.
If the leader was lazy, the staff would naturally have no passion themselves.
Firing of the manager was meant to serve as a warning. Since they were pleading for mercy, Eudora would let them off the hook.
"This time, seeing everyone's sincere attitude, I hope that everyone will stay and continue to work here. However, there will be no second chance."
An opportunity like that was hard to come by, so everyone naturally cherished it.
"Thank you, Miss George. Thank you, Miss George."
After that, the staff all went to take care of their own tasks.
Eudora then went to the office and called out for Clint, "Is Uriah here?"
"He's here!" As soon as Clint finished his words, the chef, Uriah Fisher walked in.
"Miss George!"
"Thank you for all your hard work!" Eudora said with a smile, "How do you feel now after resting all this while?"
Uriah complained with a smile, "It's been too leisurely. My old bones are almost rusting. I came here as soon as I heard you had asked me to come back. Is there anything I can do for you?" Eudora laughed, "You'll have a lot of work to do! Well open Valiant East Catering tomorrow. Are you ready for that?"
When Uriah heard that, he was a little hesitant.
"It's just that..."
"What's wrong?"
"The secret recipe has been revealed. I'm worried that the chefs won't be able to make the same dishes as before!" Uriah sighed with emotion.
"In the past, I've been told by Old Master Granger that the real secret is to put the heart and soul into it. All these years, I've kept that in mind and worked hard. Fortunately, I haven't disappointed Old Master Granger all these years. I can help out at the moment, but I don't think I can turn the tide around. If we fail to cultivate new chefs, Valiant East Catering will definitely run into the same problems in the future." Eudora nodded, "You're right. I'm thinking the same. That's why I've invited you here. I hope you'll play along with me."
"Play along?" Uriah asked curiously.
"We're going to put on an act regarding the secret recipe!" Eudora said with a smile.
A moment later, all the different branches of Valiant East Catering received a message. It turned out that the secret recipe that had been announced to the media had only been the first page of the secret recipe. There was a second page behind it which was the actual secret recipe.
The news got revealed.
Immediately, some people immediately questioned it, "If that was the case, why can't Valiant East Catering produce the same taste as before?"
In this regard, no one gave that a particular explanation. A moment later, the oldest branch of Valiant Group Catering in Rosaville City was suddenly filled with customers.
A food critic that had been planning to do a bad review to gain popularity had gone there. However, after tasting the food, he commented that the food was amazing, and he could feel his childhood memories coming back to him.
The news was shared around quickly on the Internet as soon as it was posted. In less than a day, it had spread nationwide.
In this era of information, news spread very quickly.
With that, the chefs of other branches did not worry any more. Everyone confidently brought out their rusty pots and started cleaning them. Then, everyone got the secret formula from the person-in-charge of the stores.
In a day, the popularity and reputation of Valiant East Catering had rapidly been reversed.
On different social media platforms, the posts displayed went from pictures of people, pets and family to pictures of food.
"Have you gone to Valiant East for breakfast today?"
Looking at the newspaper headlines, Nick, and the other shareholders were stunned.
"How could it be possible? I didn't expect that she really had a trick up her sleeve."
Nick snorted and said, "Didn't she deceive us? We were fooled by her. She obviously has the secret recipe, yet she deliberately said in front of the media that she didn't have one. She has gone too far!" The people behind him pursed their lips, "Forget it! Whether there's a secret recipe or not, Valiant East Catering's business is doing better, and its reputation is going up. This is good for us. As long as she's capable, who cares whether she's a man or a woman?"
Nick, however, was unconvinced, "You people, have you forgotten that we could have gotten more? She has messed things up for us. Do you think we can still get what has been promised?" Everyone immediately recoiled, "Truth be told, as long as the company performs well, we can get more or less the same!"
"You useless people!" Nick shouted. "Are you willing to be deceived like this? Forget it. No matter what happens in the future, don't come to me again. I won't care about all of you anymore!" "Mr. Lance!" The shareholders hurriedly stopped him, "See, you're the one who has the best ideas among us. Of course we'll listen to you! What do you think we should do?"
Nick was finally satisfied, "Let's find her and ask for an explanation regarding the secret recipe issue."
They were at the old shop.
Eudora stood at the window and looked at the crowd downstairs.
"Uriah, you're a great leader. The moment you came back, the restaurant filled with customers again!"
Uriah stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Look at you. Obviously, it's due to your plan that has worked out. Otherwise, this won't be happening."
As they were talking, Clint came in.
"Miss George, I just saw Nick and a few of the shareholders come in. They didn't look too good. They might be here for you!"
Eudora nodded, "Got it. Don't do anything first. Let's see what they're going to do!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw them entering the restaurant. However, they did not directly head upstairs. Instead, they found a table, sat down, and began to order.
Uriah immediately said, "I'm going to go back to work! Miss George, you should get going too!!"
After Uriah left, Eudora said, "They are trying to get something on me!"
Sure enough, after tasting the food, they got up and asked the receptionist something. Then, they came upstairs.
Clint frowned, "They've gone too far. You've done your utmost for them. I didn't expect them to turn against you so soon."
Eudora shook her head, "We can't control what they think or do. As they are shareholders, I can't do anything to them for the time being. However, if they want to cause trouble, I'm not going to lie down and let them bully me. Let's go and meet them!"
As soon as they arrived at the door, they met Nick and the other shareholders.
Eudora pretended to be surprised and said. "What a coincidence. Are you guys also here to inspect the shop?"
Nick let out a cough.
He said coldly, "Miss George, we respect you and we've even asked you to come back to be the president of the company. However, how can you lead Valiant East if you're not being a good example to the employees?"
Eudora was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"You lied to us! You obviously have the secret recipe, but you said that you didn't. Is this how an excellent leader should act? We've just tasted the food, and the taste really is much better. How are you going to explain yourself?"
