Accompanied by the two loudspeakers' news broadcasting, even the time taken waiting for the delicacies became shorter .
Of course, Yuan Zhou also liked the two people as they really knew a lot of things . Although they talked a lot, they knew not to bother others . They weren't hated but instead, liked by others .
They talked about the current news everyday with no repetitions, which was also a unique characteristic .
It was now 9:30 in the morning . Zhong Lili, namely Little Zhong, was walking along the street in front of Yuan Zhou's restaurant in her high-heel shoes .
The impact of the shoes against the ground emitted a sound of "Du Du Du", but didn't conceal Zhong Lili's grumbles .
"What an annoying old man Grandpa Zhou is! He surprisingly asked me to come exactly on time, not a single minute earlier or later . I don't understand why is Grandpa Zhou giving the opportunity to a person whose name is unknown to others?" The capable and experienced manner of hers previously seemed to have vanished, replaced by an impatient expression on her pretty face . She knitted her brows and muttered to herself .
"This restaurant really hides itself well . " Zhong Lili looked at the surroundings around and frowned even deeper .
Not long after that, she counted the street number and saw Yuan Zhou who was sitting at the door .
"Hooo . " Having breathed out, she resumed her normally capable and experienced expression and then walked to Yuan Zhou quickly .
With a professional smile, Zhong Lili straightforwardly asked, "Hi, Sir . Are you Yuan Zhou?"
Of course, she had already seen Yuan Zhou's photos and hence knew him well . But it might be politer to ask that way .
However, Yuan Zhou was sculpting his work very carefully and attentively .
Under such circumstances, even if it was Man Man approaching him, Yuan Zhou would first finish his work and then talk about something else, let alone it was a woman unknown to him this time .
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't even raise his head, nor did he answer her . He just quickened the actions of his hands .
Seeing Yuan Zhou giving no reaction after a while, Zhong Lili knitted her brows quickly and asked again .
This time, her voice became much louder . Five minutes later, however, Yuan Zhou still had no reaction .
Zhong Lili had fairly good patience, even if she knitted her brows hard this time and her tone wasn't that gentle anymore . "You are Yuan Zhou, aren't you? I'm the assistant of Chairman Zhou, Zhong Lili . "
Speaking of Chairman Zhou, she even stressed on those two words .
Total silence .
"Ho Ho . Interesting . " Zhong Lili thought inwardly with irony .
Of course, she saw Yuan Zhou sculpting at the first moment she arrived . But in her opinion, it was no more than a radish sculpture . How could it be more important than her work? Therefore, she went up bluntly and said to him .
"Sir, please stop your sculpture temporarily and continue later . We need to discuss the matter of going to France . " Zhong Lili took a deep breath and said stiffly .
Zhong Lili stared at Yuan Zhou carefully this time, but Yuan Zhou still lowered his head as if the radish in his hand had a significant attraction to him .
"Girl, little girl . " Just when Zhong Lili couldn't control herself and was about to lose temper, she heard someone calling her .
Then, she tilted her head subconsciously and saw Boss Tong in the dry cleaning shop .
"Are you calling me?" Zhong Lili asked with puzzlement .
"Yes . Once Boss Yuan starts to sculpt, he will never talk with anybody until he finishes . " Boss Tong explained . There appeared a mild smile on her skinny face .
"But I have something very important to tell him . " Zhong Lili knitted her brows and still insisted .
"But this little Boss Yuan can't hear you now . If you are tired, come here and take a seat .
"No need . Thank you . " Zhong Lili shook her head and refused .
"You are welcome . So you can just wait for a little while . He isn't listening to anybody right now . " Boss Tong said again .
"Alright, I got it . " Zhong Lili took a look at Yuan Zhou and said that helplessly .
Of course, the discontent in her heart reached the apex .
As for Yuan Zhou, he was naturally sculpting carefully . This time, he was trying to sculpt Immortal Zhang Guo Lau of the TV series of Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, who was riding a donkey backwards .
In the end, even the furs of the donkey were clearly seen . So was the wild and intractable expression on the donkey's long face .
Not to mention the clothes of Immortal Zhang Guo Lau . It was naturally also incomparably clear .
In the meantime, Zhong Lili just stood at the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant and waited for half an hour .
During the short period, she also tried again to call Yuan Zhou, but all ended in failure . If not for Zhou Shijie, she would have already taken the radish away .
As the assistant of the chairman of China Chef's Alliance, Zhong Lili and her family had a good personal friendship with Zhou Shijie . There, even those famous chefs didn't dare to ignore her like that .
Let alone this was just a Yuan Zhou . Thus, she was extremely angry .
Once Yuan Zhou finished his work, Zhong Lili immediately went up and said, "Respected Mr . Yuan, please show me your ID, 2-inch color photos and household register . I will apply for the visa for you with them . "
"Of course, if you don't have it now, please go to take a photo first . You wouldn't know the procedures for the visa application and you need not know them . I will get everything done for you . " Although she used the words like "respected" and "please", there was not an ounce of respect towards him .
However, Yuan Zhou didn't seem to hear that . He just put a sculpture of Immortal Zhang Guo Lau on the shelf beside him carefully .
Then, he straightened himself up and asked Zhong Lili while looking at her, "I'm sorry . I didn't hear you . Could you please repeat that?"
Yuan Zhou said that with a tepid tone, which let Zhong Lili sensitively realize something went wrong .
She shut her mouth, saying nothing, and chose to keep silent for a moment .
At that moment, Zhong Lili caught sight of the radish sculpture that Yuan Zhou had put on the shelf beside her .
She wasn't good at cooking or sculpting, but knew about such things . For such a sculpture, even the best disciple of Zhou Shijie couldn't do that .
They just couldn't reach the integration of the form and the spirit like that . It was like a miniature figurine of the genuine immortal person .
"Your sculpting skills are truly awesome . " Zhong Lili swallowed her indignation just now . She realized she didn't actually wait in vain after she saw his perfect craftsmanship . Therefore, she said more mildly .
"Um . " Yuan Zhou answered vaguely . Then he sat down and prepared to sculpt the radish again .
That really scared Zhong Lili . She knew Yuan Zhou was doing the latter part of the sculpture when she came here . Even so, she had waited there for almost 40 minutes .
If he continued to sculpt, she surely couldn't finish the work today and wouldn't know how to answer to Chairman Zhou .
"I'm sorry, Mr . Yuan . A passport is needed for going abroad, but it will take three months to get it if you apply for that by yourself . Chairman Zhou has instructed that you are going on a business trip and thus you can get it very quickly . " Zhong Lili let go of her mood and prepared to do the work first .
"How long will it take if you do it?" Yuan Zhou asked lightly .
"One day . " Zhong Lili said concisely without any more words .
"Um, but I have no photo today . You can come to collect it tomorrow . Since that is clear now, you can leave as you please . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating he had known that, and then said quite indifferently .
"Ok . I won't bother you anymore . " Zhong Lili managed to control her hot temper and repeated inwardly that work mattered more . Only by that could she answer so calmly .
Then, Yuan Zhou no longer spoke to her, but took the radish again and started to sculpt .
He was sculpting Immortal Han Hsiang-Tzu this time . The green part at the top of the radish was used to sculpt the bamboo flute of Han Hsiang-Tzu .
"Damn it!!!" After walking out of the side street, Zhong Lili couldn't help stamping her foot heavily and gnashing her teeth in anger .
However, Yuan Zhou didn't really care about all that . In his opinion, the opportunity for exchanging pointers was rare, but it also wasn't a bad idea for him to go alone .
