For a moment, the restaurant was so quiet that it was a little scary. Only some crunching sounds of chewing could be heard.
"System, did you increase the temperature of the air conditioner just now?" Yuan Zhou seriously suspected that the chilly wind just now wasn't an illusion, but the system's fault.
However, the system played dead as usual and didn't respond to Yuan Zhou's suspicion.
"Wuhai! Why are you still eating? "Just when Yuan Zhou was struggling with the system, Yin Ya's angry voice came from the other side.
"Huh?" Wuhai swallowed a mouthful of food subconsciously with a puzzled expression.
"The sound you made just now was the scariest!" Yin Ya was speechless.
Once Yin Ya said that, the customers in the restaurant who were frightened just now immediately glared at Wuhai with a look of disdain.
That's right. The only cracking sound just now was made when Wuhai was chewing the Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken Feet. Such a sound coupled with the ghost story of Brawny Scaredy-Cat was simply amazing.
The cracking sound that sounded like chewing bones and the ghost story of a psychopathic murderer made Yin Ya go crazy. Even the other customers were looking at Wuhai with condemnation.
"What are you guys looking at? If you guys aren't eating, I can help you," Wuhai said without blushing.
"Even the ghost story can't affect him at all? He's really shameless. Retreat. "
"But Fat Tiger, I really want to beat someone up."
"I should be one of the next batch of customers. I don't dare to sleep tonight. Can Boss Yuan take me in for the night?" A girl looked at Yuan Zhou with sparkling eyes and asked.
"Cough." Those words shocked Yuan Zhou who had just carried the dishes out. He immediately coughed and quickly turned back to the kitchen, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
"Hehe," Yin Ya clenched her teeth and revealed an elegant and beautiful smile as she looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Let's not talk about anything else first. What's the rest of the story?" Ling Hong frowned and asked.
"That's all." Brawny Scaredy-Cat shrugged.
"Why is that? What's the ending?" Ling Hong asked.
"The ending is that I came to the restaurant for dinner today," Brawny Scaredy-Cat said slyly.
Once he said that, the customers in the restaurant instantly clicked their tongues, expressing their dissatisfaction and condemning Brawny Scaredy-Cat again.
Nevertheless, Brawny Scaredy-Cat smiled and even touched his short spiky hair, revealing a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.
That's right. Every time Grandpa Jia told a ghost story, it would also cause a heated atmosphere like this.
Strong Scaredy-Cat's first ghost story was very successful. Thus, the dinner at Yuan Zhou's restaurant came to an end.
In fact, it was not hard to imagine how much fear and trepidation Strong Brute, the most timid person in the shop, had to go through to tell such a story.
On the other hand, it was only eight o 'clock when the dinner ended, which was the time when the nightlife began. In a dining club called Mingchen in Chengdu, the atmosphere in the private room called Spring Strikes was at a heated period after three rounds of drinks.
"Director Liu, don't worry. This place is my own. It's just a meal. Come, come, have another drink." The person who spoke was sitting next to the main seat. He was dressed in a well-ironed suit. He had a medium build and was slightly plump. He had a kind smile on his face and looked very amiable. He was urging people to drink.
"Mr Wu, don't drink too much wine. Let's eat." The one who was asked to drink was a man with a big belly. He had a formal and cordial look on his face. He looked like an official, which was in line with the title Director Liu.
"Haha, alright. I'll listen to Director Liu. Let's have a taste of this newly launched crayfish. It's peeled and very clean." Mr. Wu put down the wine glass with a smile and reached out his chopsticks to pick up the red crayfish on the table.
"The taste is indeed not bad," Director Liu praised reservedly and didn't say anything else.
There were a total of four people at the table. Apart from the two who spoke, one was Mr Wu who looked like a businessman and the other was Director Liu who looked like an official. The other two sitting next to Director Liu were young men and the one sitting next to Mr Wu was a beautiful girl. They all seemed to be secretaries and didn't talk much.
Occasionally, they would make some witty remarks to liven up the atmosphere. The two young men seemed to have participated in such dinners frequently. They were not restrained and behaved naturally.
After Mr Wu and Director Liu talked about the dishes for a while, Director Liu said with a slightly solemn expression, "I told you that you can touch anything in that place except that small restaurant."
"I know. Director Liu, don't worry about me. I still need your help." Mr Wu patted on his chest and guaranteed.
"It has nothing to do with me. It's just a coincidence that your project happens to be a gourmet city. Besides, it can also provide more jobs and re-jobs. Otherwise, that piece of land wouldn't have been approved," Director Liu waved his hand and said.
"Director Liu, you also know that I'm preparing to enclose that entire piece of land for development. That way, it can also bring more and better development. I've even negotiated the accommodation of the five-star hotel," Mr Wu said smilingly.
"It's completely possible to develop that place like this now," Director Liu nodded his head.
"Yes. The popularity of that place has been greatly wasted. When the construction of my gourmet city is completed, it can completely absorb the popularity and flow of people brought by that Yuanzhou shop," Mr Wu said confidently.
"That way, it can also generate greater benefits," Mr Wu concluded.
"It's not a problem to build it, but you have to guarantee that you won't disturb that restaurant," Director Liu emphasized again.
"That's for sure. That small restaurant is the core of the establishment of this ring," Mr Wu nodded his head.
"It's good that you know that. You have to keep those words in mind. Young people nowadays are really monstrous," Director Liu said.
"I'll go to that young man in person tomorrow. So, you can rest assured, right?" Being reminded by Director Liu, Mr Wu didn't feel anything wrong. Instead, he answered earnestly.
"That's good. That's a restaurant that can bring about the GDP of a district. He's not laying a golden egg, but a diamond egg," Director Liu joked and said proudly.
"Haw-haw. That's true." Mr Wu nodded his head and echoed. Then, he changed the topic and asked curiously, "Director Liu, how come I heard that there isn't any tax discount for that restaurant?"
The reason why Mr Wu cared about the tax issue was naturally because of his personal relationship. Although the contract had been signed and the discount was written in black and white, he still couldn't help but feel a little perturbed when he saw that there wasn't any discount for Yuan Zhou.
After all, he had built a lot of new buildings. He would save as much as he could, not to mention that he had saved quite a lot.
That's right. Based on the annual turnover of Yuan Zhou's restaurant, the amount of tax he had to pay was quite scary. Normally, such a small restaurant would have a tax discount. However, Mr Wu had heard that Yuan Zhou had received an award from the Great Tax Collector. So, he didn't think Yuan Zhou would get any discount.
"Speaking of this, I feel that we are all old." Director Liu didn't answer him, but sighed with emotion instead.
"Director Liu, you are still young and have a smooth career. Why are you sighing with emotion all of a sudden?" Mr Wu flattered him smilingly.
"I'm saying that we are too old to understand the thoughts of young people. We told him to reduce the tax last year, but he insisted on paying the tax according to the high standard," Director Liu said with an odd expression.
"Haw-haw. He's a good comrade." Mr Wu joked.
"You don't say. That old man from the tax bureau also said so." Director Liu burst into laughter.
This was the second time that someone tried to develop Taoxi Road. Compared with the first time, their goal was to make Yuanzhou shop the core competitiveness. After all, people weren't stupid. Even if they knew it was iron, they still wanted to hit it.
However, Yuan Zhou didn't know anything yet …
