As Yuan Zhou washed up, he thought about the dishes he was going to cook for Carpenter Lian later. As a result, he washed up a little slower than usual.
After all, at noon, Carpenter Lian and Ma Xiao ate the bread that Ma Xiao brought along to save time. They ate it with the warm water that Yuan Zhou left in the backyard.
At night, Yuan Zhou naturally wanted the two of them to have a good meal. After all, they had been busy for the whole day. Moreover, carpentry was a very tiring job.
"It's not a good thing to know too many signature dishes," Yuan Zhou secretly praised himself as he walked down the stairs. Only then did he decide on a few dishes.
However, the proud Yuan Zhou didn't expect that he wouldn't be able to smile after a while.
As usual, dinner time started at six. At this time, Yuan Zhou had already prepared the ingredients for dinner.
However, other than Wu Hai, the first person to enter the restaurant today, there was another person who entered the restaurant at the same time as him.
This person was Ling Hong. Ling Hong was wearing a set of flashy white casual clothes. His hair was bristling, and he strode toward Yuan Zhou the moment he entered the restaurant. Unlike Wu Hai, he directly found a seat next to him and sat down.
As he strode over, Ling Hong didn't stop talking, "Boss Yuan, let me tell you a piece of bad news."
"Are you going bankrupt?" Yuan Zhou asked casually.
"It's impossible for me to go bankrupt," Ling Hong immediately shook his head and said.
"Oh, then it's because you want to eat on sale. You'd rather break your legs than eat on sale. Did you change your nickname Ling No Discount?" Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not about that. It's about Yin Ya." Ling Hong waved his hand and stared at Yuan Zhou with bright eyes.
However, Yuan Zhou had already put on a mask, revealing only a pair of black eyes. When Ling Hong looked over, he could only see Yuan Zhou's calm and expressionless eyes. It was the same as usual, without any change.
"Aren't you curious?" Ling Hong asked curiously.
"I'm curious." Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhou nodded.
As their voices weren't loud, only a few people beside them could hear them. Therefore, when Yuan Zhou said that, Wu Hai, Ling Hong, Zhou Jia, and Cheng Ying couldn't help but look over. However, Yuan Zhou's eyes were still calm, without any change.
"I can't tell." Ling Hong shrugged.
"What is it?" However, Yuan Zhou did not satisfy Ling Hong's desire to watch the show. Instead, he asked directly.
Because he didn't get the reaction he expected, Ling Hong said listlessly, "Yin Ya didn't come alone today. Look, the two of them are lining up outside."
Yuan Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked in the direction of Ling Hong's words. Indeed, because the 14 people in front of him had entered the restaurant, the people at the back of the line were immediately revealed.
And the first to bear the brunt was Yin Ya, who was ranked first in the second round. As expected, a tall man in a silver-gray suit was standing behind her. That person was talking to Yin Ya with his head lowered.
"See? That person came together with Yin Ya today." Ling Hong's face revealed an obvious expression of anticipation.
Ling Hong was looking forward to what Yuan Zhou would do. However, before Yuan Zhou could react, Wu Hai, who was beside him, said, "They didn't come together. Yin Ya arrived first, and then that person followed. He doesn't seem to be familiar with Yin Ya, but they definitely know each other. Their relationship is unclear."
"Shameless Wu, why are you undermining me?" Ling Hong said unhappily.
"I'll tell you the truth." Wu Hai looked at Ling Hong coldly. Then, he raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou seriously. "Start cooking. I'm hungry."
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything. He just nodded and went straight to the kitchen.
"Don't go. I'm not done yet." Ling Hong stretched out his hand and leaned forward.
However, no one paid attention to him. Other than Cheng Ying, who was covering her mouth and laughing secretly, even Zhou Jia had gone to order dishes for the customers seriously.
"Really, I've investigated it. It's not as simple as Wu Hai said," Ling Hong muttered.
Cheng Ying didn't even look at Yuan Zhou cooking. She skipped to Ling Hong's side and asked, "Big Brother Ling, what's the situation between Sister Ya and that person?"
"You want to know?" Seeing someone ask, Ling Hong immediately put on an inscrutable expression and said.
"Yes, yes." Cheng Ying nodded.
Cheng Ying really wanted to matchmake her Teacher's father with Yin Ya. Naturally, she was concerned about it.
"I came early today. When I was queuing in front, I saw Yin Ya walking over first. However, there was a man following behind her. He was even talking to Yin Ya from time to time," Ling Hong said.
"And then?" Cheng Ying asked politely.
"I knew it wasn't as simple as it seemed. So, I asked someone to find out who he was," Ling Hong said proudly.
"Who's that man?" Cheng Ying asked.
"He's the new director of Yin Ya's company from Hang City. His name is Wang Jiadong. He's just 30 this year and has an annual salary of one million RMB. He can be considered young and promising," Ling Hong directly told them the information he had found.
"Is that man chasing after Sister Ya?" Cheng Ying said and looked outside again.
Yin Ya was wearing a silk shirt, a half-length skirt, and black stockings. With her long hair draped over her shoulders, she was dressed like a white-collared beauty. She looked beautiful and capable. She was indeed very eye-catching.
Just when Cheng Ying looked outside, she saw the man named Wang Jiadong talking to Yin Ya with a smile on his face.
Yin Ya, on the other hand, had a cold expression. She kept a safe distance from that man and nodded lightly. The two of them were definitely not flirtatious, but it was obvious that the man cared about Yin Ya and was trying to please her.
"It's rare that even a little girl like you can see that." Ling Hong nodded with a smile.
"I don't think that man deserves Sister Ya," Cheng Ying said seriously.
"Of course. He's so old. Of course he doesn't deserve her." Ling Hong nodded in agreement.
Just when the two of them were talking, Yuan Zhou had prepared a meal and was carrying the tray to the table next door. With his sharp ears and eyes, Yuan Zhou naturally heard their conversation.
Therefore, when Ling Hong stopped Yuan Zhou and asked him again, Yuan Zhou didn't turn around directly.
"Yuan Zhou, you know Yin Ya's birthday is in three days, right?" Ling Hong asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I know," Yuan Zhou said.
"Then have you prepared the gift? What are you going to give her?" Ling Hong continued.
"I'm ready. A wooden box," Yuan Zhou replied indifferently.
That's right. When Yuan Zhou saw the rosewood, he had prepared to give Yin Ya a small box made of rosewood. Didn't girls all like delicate and small things? Yuan Zhou felt that a box made of mortise and tenon joints that looked like a machine box would be very suitable.
One of the small boxes that Yuan Zhou made in the afternoon was prepared for Yin Ya. He planned to fill it with rosewood shavings.
The smell of the shavings was pleasant and fragrant. It could relieve rheumatism, low back pain, vomiting blood, heartburn, and high blood pressure. It was a very practical and good thing.
"Wooden box? What's the use of that? Girls like romantic and thoughtful things. It doesn't have to be expensive, but it has to be thoughtful, "Ling Hong explained with a serious expression.
"How do I make it thoughtful?" Cheng Ying asked curiously.
"Spend the afternoon shopping with them and then buy, buy, buy. Buy whatever they like and whatever they don't like," Ling Hong said seriously.
"…" Cheng Ying.
"…" Yuan Zhou.
