Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

His gaze returned to Zhang Dong beside him.

"Then I'll call you brother. I didn't expect you to be such an unusual brother."

"To be honest, I like a boss like you. If you really dare to hire me, I have no problem with it."

"I originally wanted to set up a wonton stall to make a living, but if I become a chef at your restaurant, then I'll have to put the stall idea on hold for now."

Zhang Dong was very happy to hear that the other party had agreed.

The main reason is that I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

With a smile, Zhang Dong reassured Dao Ge, "Don't worry, I won't judge people based on appearances."

"As long as you can cook delicious food, I won't judge you by worldly standards. After all, no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes."

"Hey buddy, I didn't expect you to understand it this way, that's great."

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "If you have any friends who have just been released from prison and can't find a job, you can come to my restaurant with them."

After Zhang Dong said these words, not only was Brother Dao shocked, but the distributor who introduced Zhang Dong was also dumbfounded.

Hiring a chef with a criminal record would be somewhat understandable.

Zhang Dong, that kid, actually wants to hire other people who have been to prison to work at his restaurant. What is he planning to do?

Are you really serious about opening a restaurant?

Does he want to set up a shelter?

Seeing the two people's stunned expressions, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.

"You two don't misunderstand me. My idea is that since society doesn't accept these released prisoners so much, I'll set an example for everyone."

"I just don't believe that as long as the food at our restaurant is delicious, the customers who come to eat here won't come back to our restaurant to spend money."

What are prison inmates afraid of?

Once they understood what Zhang Dong meant, Dao Ge and his friends were deeply moved.

Brother Dao laughed loudly: "You know what, I actually have two friends in the same situation as me. Since the boss doesn't mind, I'll call them over to help."

Hearing that Brother Dao was saying that more friends were coming, Zhang Dong was overjoyed.

"That's great! That way our restaurant can reopen immediately."

Dao Ge looked puzzled when he heard Zhang Dong say that he wanted to start work again.

"Boss, you trust me that much? You didn't even test my cooking before opening for business?"

Seeing Dao Ge's completely bewildered expression, Zhang Dong burst into laughter again: "I believe him."

Zhang Dong's gaze fell upon the distributors next to him with whom he had business dealings.

The distributor felt a surge of warmth at being trusted so much by Zhang Dong.

He held Zhang Dong's hand tightly.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

Zhang Dong smiled and said, "These were all supplied in the past. I believe that if Brother Dao didn't have some real skills, you wouldn't have recommended them to me."

Upon hearing Zhang Dong's words, the three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter...

Brother Dao called his two friends and they went to Zhangdong's restaurant together.

After tasting the food prepared by Brother Dao, Zhang Dong couldn't help but praise it highly.

While chewing his food, Zhang Dong excitedly said, "I never expected Brother Dao to have such superb cooking skills. I've really struck gold!"

Brother Dao was very happy to receive Zhang Dong's affirmation.

“Brother Zhang Dong, it is said that a scholar will die for one who understands him. I am very grateful that you do not look at us with prejudice.”

"Don't worry, I will do my best to develop new dishes and make the restaurant popular again..."

Brother Dao's skills are truly remarkable. After thorough preparation, the restaurant reopened, and the customers all said that the food tasted even better than before.

Next, Brother Dao developed signature dishes that were both affordable and delicious, such as Three Treasures of the Earth, Tiger Skin Chicken Feet, and Garlic Ribs.

Immediately, the Great Wall Hotel became even more popular than before.

It is evident that in a short period of time, the Great Wall Hotel was revitalized by Zhang Dong in this way and regained its strong profitability.

Dong Qichang and his wife were also filled with emotion.

That day, they found Zhang Dong with shame on their faces.

Zhang Dong was somewhat surprised to see the couple looking at him with such serious expressions.

These past few days, he's been busy with various things and has noticed a significant change in the couple. The most noticeable change is that they've become increasingly quiet.

If I don't take the initiative to talk to them, the couple will stay at home all day working with their heads down, barely exchanging more than two words.

Zhang Dong looked puzzled when he saw that the other party was looking for him.

"Brother and sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Ahem." Dong Qichang coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment before speaking.

"Brother, we are deeply sorry for what happened at the restaurant."

Seeing that the couple had come to him to apologize, Zhang Dong quickly waved his hand.

"Brother and sister-in-law, I've already said what happened. It's not your fault at all. It's your son, not you. You don't need to apologize..."

Zhang Dong's words made the two men even more ashamed.

“It is precisely because he is our son that we feel ashamed.”

Dong Qichang was so anxious that tears streamed down his face.

"What a bastard son I gave birth to! He's made me lose all face."

"These past two days, as you've probably noticed, your sister-in-law and I have barely spoken, because we feel sorry for you."

“After careful consideration, we have decided not to partner with you to open this restaurant.”

Zhang Dong was taken aback when he saw the couple make this decision.

“Brother and sister-in-law, what are you saying? No matter what, our restaurant has reopened. How can you have such thoughts? This is absolutely unacceptable. It's not your fault.”

Dong Qichang grabbed Zhang Dong's hand and said, "If my brother or my elder brother had done this, I might not feel so guilty."

"But now it's my wicked son who's doing this, and your sister-in-law and I both feel ashamed."

“Brother Zhang Dong, we know you are a good person. You helped my wife and me when you invested in us, and we will never forget that.”

“When we were in trouble, you helped us out, which saved my parents’ lives, revived the restaurant, and allowed me to regain control of it.”

"But fate is cruel. This bastard I gave birth to has done such a despicable thing. Your sister-in-law and I haven't been able to sleep for days. We can't even hold our heads up in front of you."

“Brother, from working with you for a while, we know you are a loyal person, and we really hope to work with you again.”

"But now our beast has done such a thing, making us feel ashamed to face anyone, let alone continue to receive dividends here."

"So your sister-in-law and I are determined to withdraw from operating this restaurant."
