"What?!" Zhang Jun stood up all of a sudden, with a look of surprise on his face. There was no trace of the calmness and calmness of a professional manager. "Sir, are you talking about the black truffles you just dug?"
Seeing the other party's expression, Ye Chong immediately pulled his backpack behind him, his eyes confused and his face full of vigilance.
"What are you doing, Mr. Zhang? Is there anything wrong with me selling the black truffles I picked?"
Zhang Jun obviously realized the gaffe he just made. He immediately smiled awkwardly, sat down and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, sir, I was too excited."
"The deputy general manager of the Procurement Center of Zhongdu Hotel is definitely a person who has seen the world." Ye Chong raised the corner of his mouth, "Why are you making such a fuss when you meet a little person like me today? Do I look scary?"
"No, no, no, sir, it's my fault." Zhang Jun quickly waved his hands and explained: "The main reason is that I heard that you had newly dug black truffles in your hand, and I was a little too excited. Haha, it made sir laugh.
"
"Huh?" Ye Chong smiled slightly, "As the deputy general manager of the Procurement Center of Zhongdu Hotel, Mr. Zhang should be responsible for global procurement, right?"
"Yes, that's right," Zhang Jun's face returned to calmness and he nodded, "Zhang is mainly responsible for purchasing top-quality ingredients and cultivating channels."
"Haha, since Mr. Zhang is responsible for this aspect of work, what kind of people have I not come into contact with, and what kind of things have I not seen?" Ye Chong raised the corner of his mouth, then patted the backpack beside him with his hand and smiled.
Said: "Mr. Zhang is not laughing at me, right?"
"Laughing... laughing at you?" Zhang Jun was a little confused, and his tongue was a bit loud when he spoke, "This... this... where do you start talking about this, sir?"
"Haha, first of all, I came to the Zhongdu Hotel to drink diamond champagne. Mr. Zhang didn't say anything, but he would inevitably have some doubts in his heart. Does a person like me deserve to drink the taste of diamond?" Ye Chong said when he said this
, patted the backpack again, and said with a smile:
"Now, I also said that I am selling black truffles. I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will be shocked and have more doubts in his heart, right?
Haha, although black truffles were very expensive in the old world, they were also common. As long as you could afford it, you could eat them.
However, in today's world, things are different.
The place where black truffles grow is basically dominated by mutant beasts. If you try to dig it like before, you may end up in the belly of mutant beasts if you don't reach the place.
What's more, compared with the black truffles grown in the old environment, the black truffles grown in the new environment have significantly improved texture, nutritional value, and taste, and have great medicinal value.
So, it’s strange that the supply of black truffles is small and the value of the black truffles is huge, but I casually put them in my backpack so that no one would suspect them.”
"..." When Zhang Jun heard this, his face was a little confused, and he couldn't help but wave his hands repeatedly, "Sir, I was overthinking it. I was really excited just now because I heard that you had black truffles. Haha, you are
For those of you who drink diamond champagne, black truffles are like rotten mushrooms.”
puff!
Ye Chong finally didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Is this praising him or scolding him?
Does anyone talk like this?
Are black truffles rotten mushrooms?
Damn.
At the bar not far away, the bar foreman and the tall waitress were discussing something in a low voice. There was a mysterious smile in their eyes as they looked over.
At this moment, Zhang Jun looked at Ye Chong with a complex look of desire, expectation, doubt and disbelief.
To be honest, the assessment pressure he faces now is too much.
Last month, his performance appraisal KPI only got a D.
what does that mean?
There is no doubt that this means that there is not much time left for him as the deputy general manager of the purchasing center.
KPI scores are divided into five levels: a, b, c, d, e, c means passing, neither above nor below, and d means failing. If faced with a job transfer, it is very likely that he will return to being a small buyer.
This was something he couldn't accept no matter what.
He worked hard for ten years from a young buyer to the position of deputy general manager of the purchasing center.
If he is really beaten back to his original shape, all his hard work over the past ten years will be in vain.
The most important thing is that he is now older and younger, and he is no longer allowed to start working from the bottom with a meager salary.
Even if he did it, he had no energy and could only live in confusion.
What's more, that's not all.
The situation may be more critical.
He knew very well that he was lucky to get a D in his KPI last month. If he hadn't purchased some excellent black gold abalone at the end of the month, his final assessment score would have been an E.
What is e?
Just leave!
Wave your hand and you won't take away a single cloud.
If that were the case, Zhang Jun knew in his heart that it was hard to say whether he could withstand it.
But then again.
Zhang Jun's low KPI assessment score actually has little to do with him.
After all, he is an unjust villain of the new era.
In Zhang Jun's KPI assessment, the key performance indicator with the largest weight is:
Purchase quantities of the world's top ingredients.
Sourcing the world's top quality ingredients.
Efficiency in sourcing the world’s top ingredients.
Customer satisfaction with the world's top ingredients.
These four key performance evaluation indicators are all related to the world's top ingredients.
But in fact, since the revival of spiritual energy, the world environment has undergone great changes.
The world's top ingredients, which were originally obtained in the deep seas, oceans and famous mountains and rivers, are no longer so easy to obtain.
Why?
Very simple.
Whether it is the deep sea, the ocean, or the mountains and rivers, they have become the home of mutant beasts.
When humans want to enter those places to obtain food, there is often only one result.
That means entering from the upper mouth of the mutated beast, then turning into shit over a thousand times, and then emerging from the lower mouth.
no way.
Because humans are recognized as the best top food for almost all mutant beasts.
Eating life is the lifelong pursuit of every mutant beast.
This is just like how many people like to eat Nordic salmon.
If there is any difference between the two, there is.
When humans eat raw salmon, octopus or medium-rare steak, they will dip a handful into the sauce and pretend to be very elegant.
When mutated beasts eat human beings, they are usually very animalistic and don't pay much attention to it. Not even bones or residue are left behind, but they are all swallowed up in their stomachs.
It is precisely in this cruel, cruel and cruel environment, who would dare to go to the deep seas, oceans or deep mountains and forests to search for top-quality ingredients?
I'm afraid that if you're not careful, it will become the top ingredient for mutant beasts.
At the same time, after the spiritual energy was revived, the world was rich in materials, and commercially available ingredients were everywhere. But the more this happened, the more people began to have an infinite desire and pursuit for the rare and top-quality ingredients in the world.
As a result, there has been a huge gap and imbalance in the demand and supply of the world's top food ingredients, and the contradiction has become increasingly prominent.
So, can Zhang Jun's life be easy?
cannot!
Tremendous stress!
Therefore, when they hear or see the world's top ingredients that they think about day and night, they will naturally be extremely excited.
"Rotten mushrooms, right?" Ye Chong raised the corner of his mouth, stood up, put on his backpack, and sneered: "Okay, I'll leave with the rotten mushrooms on my back quickly, so as not to burn you out."
