Zhou Jia felt that although Boss Yuan didn't have the age of an elder, he had the heart and character of an elder.
Um... Was that a compliment?
"Chairman Zhou, why are you here?"
After the breakfast service ended, Zhou Shijie arrived a few hours before lunch.
It was too early for him to have lunch. But if there was something, he could just make a phone call. There was no need for him to come here in person.
"Yuan, I'm here today mainly to ask you a question." Zhou Shijie said solemnly.
Yuan Zhou also put on a straight face and said solemnly, "Chairman Zhou, please go ahead."
"Here's the thing. Engineer Cheng has passed your test. Now, are you prepared to accept him as your apprentice?" Zhou Shijie asked earnestly.
"Although Engineer Cheng is older than you and has a higher seniority in the gourmet circle, he who is more experienced is the teacher. With this old man here, nobody dares to gossip." Zhou Shijie continued saying before Yuan Zhou answered him.
Zhou Shijie's words could be summed up in a simple way, "I will cover for you. You can do whatever you want to do."
"Engineer Cheng has always treated me like a student. I am indeed prepared." Yuan Zhou nodded his head cautiously.
Yuan Zhou directly agreed. He didn't need to be modest about whether he was qualified or not anymore. In front of Zhou Shijie, it would be hypocritical if he said that again.
"Good, very good. Yesterday, Engineer Cheng came to invite me to be his introducer happily, but I still had some concerns." Zhou Shijie revealed a smile on his face and then began to explain the situation.
That day, Yuan Zhou visited the thatched cottage three times and Jiang Taigong went fishing. Engineer Cheng didn't understand it on the spot. Instead, he went home to study. In the middle of studying, he was suddenly enlightened.
It seemed that his persistence finally moved Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Engineer Cheng left the book and went to Zhou Shijie hurriedly.
First of all, Engineer Cheng knew that Master Yuan was a traditional person, so he needed a referral.
Secondly, Engineer Cheng was afraid that if he misunderstood Yuan Zhou's words, he would be embarrassed, but he couldn't let Master Yuan be embarrassed as well.
Therefore, he invited Zhou Shijie here first to inquire about it. If it was true, then Engineer Cheng would make further preparations. After all, this apprenticeship was a very serious matter in his eyes.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he wanted to say that if Engineer Cheng still didn't understand, he would have to use his trump card and knock him on the head three times.
No wonder they hadn't seen Engineer Cheng for the past two days. They finally understood what was going on. Zhou Shijie handed over a red name card with a date written on it.
"This is?"
Yuan Zhou estimated in his heart. According to the date written on the name card, it was the day after tomorrow at 3: 00 pm.
"Engineer Cheng asked someone to calculate an auspicious date. If there is any problem with the date, Yuan, you can tell me," said Zhou Shijie gently.
"It's a good day. No problem." Yuan Zhou nodded and agreed.
"Okay. I'm leaving now," said Zhou Shijie.
"Chairman, don't you want to take a rest?" Yuan Zhou saw Zhou Shijie was travel-worn.
"Don't worry about it. When I left, Engineer Cheng was at a loss. He was pacing back and forth on the floor of my house. I'm afraid that if I go back late, the floor will be worn through, but I'm afraid that my house will be torn down by him," said Zhou Shijie with a smile.
Yuan Zhou nodded to show that he understood. He looked at Zhou Shijie's back disappearing at the end of the street before he withdrew his gaze.
"I've accepted a disciple, finished my apprenticeship, received the reward and mastered Jiangsu Cuisine. It seems that I'm going to reach the peak of my life soon," thought Yuan Zhou.
Time passed very quickly when he was practicing cooking. It didn't take long for him to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Just when Yuan Zhou was preparing the ingredients, people started to line up outside the door to get their tickets.
During the process, a reporter from a newspaper also came. He tactfully took pictures outside the restaurant without affecting the business. Therefore, the queuing committee didn't say anything.
On the other side, Mu Qingqing, the grandniece of the old scavenger, had her alarm clock set. Ding Ding Ding Ding.
"Time's up. Time to go out." Mu Qingqing turned off the alarm clock.
Mu Qingqing graduated from a famous university in England. After graduation, she found a well-paid job abroad and was transferred back to China recently.
"I haven't been back for more than ten years. No matter how many times I see it, I can't help but sigh. The infrastructure and urban planning in our country are developing too quickly," sighed Mu Qingqing again.
She had been back for two weeks. She didn't know how many times she had sighed like this. Chengdu was completely different from the city in her memory.
"No wonder the company opened several branches in the country in recent years. It's natural to be proactive when there's profit to be made," Mu Qingqing muttered to herself.
Yesterday, she had just sent her great-granduncle and great-grandaunt to a nursing home in Shanghai. Originally, the two elders insisted that they were going to formally thank Boss Yuan today. However, their bodies had been suffering for too long and their condition was too poor. This was especially so for great-grandaunt. She needed to be nursed back to health immediately.
The elderly were getting old. Their bodies couldn't withstand any more surgeries.
Mu Qingqing tried her best to persuade the two elders. She wanted to nurse her body back to health first and then come back to thank Boss Yuan.
But before she left, the two elders specially told her some things. Naturally, Mu Qingqing agreed to them one by one.
The head office sent Mu Qingqing to the branch in Chengdu. The treatment was quite good. She was given a single apartment.
She put on some light makeup. As a girl, Mu Qingqing was very good-looking. She closed the door with a bang.
But when she just took the elevator to the first floor, she thought of something …
"Oh no, I forgot my phone. No, the address of the restaurant is still in my phone."
Mu Qingqing went back and began to rummage through the cabinets and cabinets. After a long time, she finally found her phone on the washstand in the bathroom.
For those who lowered their heads, it was an incredible thing to forget their phone. But for Mu Qingqing, it was a very normal thing.
That's right. As a designer, Mu Qingqing didn't have the rigorous and meticulous image that people had of her. Instead, she often forgot things.
However, due to the delay, he arrived at Yuan Zhou's restaurant half an hour later than he had originally planned to at 11: 00 PM.
Mu Qingqing had promised her grand-aunt and grand-uncle that she would tell Boss Yuan that they had left and Boss Yuan didn't need to trouble himself.
Some people would still think of others no matter what happened to them. This kind of people deserved good luck.
Besides, her grand-aunt also reminded her that if she wanted to go there for dinner, she should go earlier.
"It should be no problem. Even if I have to wait in line, I can just wait for a while." Mu Qingqing thought so.
In fact, Mu Qingqing had a good impression of Yuan Zhou from her grand-aunt. He was kind-hearted and could cook well. It was said that he was good-looking.
While Mu Qingqing was on her way, Wang Keyi had already arrived in Ice City. Yes, this guy really went to Ice City and even found Senior Yan's private museum through some connections.
