Chapter 267 On the early morning of the following day, Yuan Zhou was stopped when he was jogging as usual .
"Boss Yuan, can you do me a favor?" Huang Ling stopped Yuan Zhou straightforwardly with her shadow in the first ray of the morning sun . "What’s the matter?" While jogging in the same place, Yuan Zhou didn’t stop exercising . "It’s like this . . . " Huang Ling then slightly explained to him . "Reservations are not allowed . Besides, are you sure they will come to eat?" Yuan Zhou was a little curious . "Yes, they will . Don’t worry about that . " Huang Ling nodded the head affirmatively . "Ok . It’s a total of 100 RMB only . " Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then brought out the price . "That’s not correct, is it?" Huang Ling doubted . "It’s indeed that much," answered Yuan Zhou affirmatively . "But I remember dishes in your restaurant are very expensive . " Huang Ling didn’t really know the exact prices, but she was pretty sure they were very expensive . After all, she frequently swept the floor along this street . "I’m the boss . The first three can enjoy discounts today," said Yuan Zhou solemnly . "Boss Yuan, I don’t wish for you to do so . " Huang Ling lowered her head and got a little unhappy . "Humm . Every time I have a good mood, I will offer discounts . The dish of Honey Tremella is sold at only 1 RMB . " Yuan Zhou used an example to illustrate .
After thinking back carefully, Huang Ling realized it was true . Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was the star restaurant of the street right now and was even listed on the gourmet map, therefore this 1 RMB event was known to Huang Ling . "Ok . Thank you, Boss Yuan . But please don’t mention me . " After an earnest nod, Huang Ling took out a brand-new note of 100 RMB . "Sure . That’s it . " Yuan Zhou received the money and put it in his pocket and then continued the morning jog . "Bye, Boss Yuan . " Huang Ling then walked further with the broom and the hand cart filled with trash . Having jogged for two circles around the side street, Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant . He first went to the second floor to wash up and change the informal clothes and then came back to the restaurant . After that, he began to knead the dough and prepared to cook the soup dumplings . Yuan Zhou cooked while leaving the front door open this time in order to catch sight of Zhou Jia at the first moment she arrived . Zhou Jia was quite a hard-working girl, who always arrived at the restaurant half an hour earlier every morning and helped to maintain the line . "Zhou Jia, come here . " Yuan Zhou’s sound passed to her through the face mask . "Morning, boss . " With a big smile on her face, Zhou Jia appeared quite delighted . "You are very happy today . " Yuan Zhou paused slightly and asked her first . "Yeah . Thank you for your help . Thank you so much, boss . " As soon as she recalled the phone call last night, Zhou Jia felt pleased . Finally, that cocky Li Fang would no longer entangle her . Having been refused again by Zhou Jia, he agreed not to bother her anymore . Therefore, Zhou Jia became happy ever since last night .
After all, Li Fang not only was a male chauvinist, but also liked talking to her father and using her father to exert pressure on her, which was totally unacceptable to Zhou Jia . "Humm . You are welcome . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head and appeared as if that was the obvious result .
At the next second, however, he asked, "What’s it about?" "Well . . . , nothing . I just want to thank you for providing me with such a good job . " Zhou Jia hesitated for a while and even wanted to wipe her perspiration . The way her boss spoke was really odd, but luckily Zhou Jia had gotten used to that . Therefore, she changed to another subject immediately . "Not at all . Just work earnestly here," Yuan Zhou instructed her carefully . "Don’t worry, boss . " Speaking of the work, Zhou Jia was quite serious . Having heard Zhou Jia’s "grievance", Yuan Zhou felt, as a boss, he was really not bad and even knew to care about his staff’s spiritual life . Then he began to talk about his proper business with her . Yet, he totally forgot it was he himself who first started the topic . Of course, Zhou Jia had no idea of that . After all, Yuan Zhou was talking to her solemnly . At the other side, three people in the black car likewise stretched themselves . Of them, a man that appeared to be a senior white-collar talked first . "Ok, let’s go to get some breakfast . A moment later, Mouse will take charge over here . " The man had a crew cut and was plain-looking . But when he talked, he was, nevertheless, rather decisive . "That’s great . Boss Zhao, you didn't forget what you promised last night, did you?" The younger man on the passenger side leaped up . He was dressed up like a newbie of the workplace . "Lin Cong, you brat, you rip me off every time . " The person who was called Boss Zhao was the one speaking . He said smilingly upon hearing that . "It's not true . Zheng Xing, you testify for me . Didn't Boss Zhao say that by himself?" Lin Cong turned the head immediately and said to the one seated in the backseat . The smiling expression of the person made him look like a goody-goody in the workplace who wouldn’t give offense to anybody around . But once he talked, it wasn't like that anymore . "I can testify that . Boss Zhao, I have inquired about that restaurant . Customers need to wait in line for the dishes . Shall we go now?" said Zheng Xing after he opened the car door with a smile . "That's corruption . As far as I know, the dishes there are awfully expensive . " With a frown, Boss Zhao revealed a look of reluctance to spend the money . Nevertheless, he didn't have any hesitation, but instead opened the door and got off the car following them . "Come on . We must hurry up, otherwise, we won't get the seats in time . " Lin Cong walked faster than the other two . While speaking, he had gone half way . The three people had three characters that were totally different from each other . But the only thing in common was probably being plain-looking . Basically, none of them could be found if they were thrown into the crowd . Contrarily, Yuan Zhou had a currently popular uncle-style look, especially when he was solemn, although he wasn't really handsome . Yuan Zhou could more or less catch the eye of the crowd while these three persons were nevertheless like the passers-by on the streets . The side street wasn’t long at all . In just a few minutes, the three people arrived at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in the middle . Coincidentally, there wasn’t anybody inside . "Please come on in," as soon as Zhou Jia saw the three people, she became delighted and then went up and greeted them . "Huh . What a coincidence! I'm the first customer . " Lin Cong walked into the restaurant excitedly in big strides . "It's indeed a coincidence," Zhou Jia answered with a smile . "We have long heard that your restaurant serves extraordinarily delicious dishes, so we are here today with the purpose to have a taste . He is paying," Zheng Xing first complimented Boss Yuan smilingly and then said while pointing at Boss Zhao . "I'm sorry, but we provide only soup dumplings for breakfast this morning . " Zhou Jia reminded . "How many soup dumplings in each steamer"? Lin Cong looked at the food steamers stacked up over there suspiciously . "Only one . " Zhou Jia kept answering mildly . "No problem . Get one for me . I'm hungry . " With his sharp nose, Zheng Xing smelled a glimmer of the remaining fragrance, thus he directly ordered . "Alright . One moment, please . " Zhou Jia went up and carried the soup dumplings to them . "Vinegar?" Zhou Jia set down the soup dumplings and then asked . "Of course . Bring some for me, please," Boss Zhao answered . Even if he didn't really like vinegar, he still ordered it . He had just seen the surprising price of 66 RMB for each soup dumpling . It would be a loss if he didn't eat it with the vinegar . "Some vinegar for me, too . " Zheng Xing came prepared this time . He had once logged on to the gourmet forum and of course, he would savor the perfect combinations of soup dumpling and the vinegar . "Tsk-tsk . An adult man surprisingly eats vinegar with soup dumpling?" Only Lin Cong grunted . He couldn't wait to take the chopsticks and prepare to eat . "It looks so good," Zheng Xing first smelled the fragrance of the vinegar and then looked at the soup dumpling before he said contentedly .
