Although Yuan Zhou stated his condition coldly, Ruan Xiaoqing still nodded vigorously and revealed a smile, "Boss Yuan, you are too gentle."
Ruan Xiaoqing was the one who felt Yuan Zhou's gentleness the most, apart from Yin Ya. Ruan Xiaoqing saw it and remembered it in her heart.
"Run."
Only after Ruan Xiaoqing walked far away did Yuan Zhou start to run again.
Just as Yuan Zhou requested, Ruan Xiaoqing made time to come to his restaurant for breakfast. However, she still looked very tired. Even her lips looked lighter after she wiped off her lipstick during the meal.
Ling Hong saw that and felt anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
Because today, Ruan Xiaoqing became colder when she accepted his greeting. There was still some warmth in the past, but today, it was all gone.
Ling Hong was very perturbed, but Ruan Xiaoqing left quickly after breakfast without giving Ling Hong any chance to say anything.
Looking at Ling Hong's puzzled look, Yuan Zhou put down the bowl of noodles in his hand and raised his head, saying, "You will come to the meeting in the afternoon, right?"
"Are you talking about the evaluation website?" Ling Hong was stupefied and then he asked.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Of course I will," Ling Hong said affirmatively.
"See you in the afternoon," Yuan Zhou said.
"I might come at noon as well," Ling Hong said smilingly.
"No need. She won't come at noon," Yuan Zhou said meaningfully.
"Alright. I will stay in the office and work hard," Ling Hong shrugged and said, pretending to be at ease.
"See you in the afternoon," Yuan Zhou said and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking noodles.
Ling Hong then turned around and left the restaurant decisively.
Just as Yuan Zhou had expected, he told Ling Hong that Ruan Xiaoqing wouldn't come at noon in advance. As expected, neither of them came at noon.
After lunch, neither Wuhai nor Jiang Changxi was in a hurry to leave. Instead, they stayed in the restaurant.
"Compass, we'll be waiting for you upstairs. Hurry up." Jiang Changxi smiled.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Do you want some snacks for the meeting?" Wu Hai stroked his mustache solemnly and suggested in a deadpan manner.
"There's no need to get down to business," said Yuan Zhou.
"You just finished eating," Jiang Changxi reminded.
"I know. That's why I'm talking about dim sum." Wuhai nodded his head and said deservedly.
"There's nothing to eat. Didn't Zheng Jiawei prepare tea?" Jiang Changxi asked.
"What's so good about bitter things?" Wuhai mumbled. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he looked at Yuan Zhou and said, "The tea from the tea party last time was really good. Tea is always needed when drinking tea."
"Food in the restaurant is not allowed to be taken out." Yuan Zhou pointed at the wall behind Wuhai and then went upstairs to wash up.
"Uh …" Wuhai was instantly speechless when he heard that. Since it was a rule, Wuhai knew that his dream of eating snacks was shattered. He turned around and walked out of the restaurant as well.
Jiang Changxi also smiled and walked out of the restaurant.
As for Yuan Zhou, he had already gone to the washroom to wash up and change his clothes. After all, he was going to have a meeting later and naturally had to change his clothes. Yuan Zhou was sure that he didn't change his clothes because Yin Ya would also come later.
As for why he changed his clothes three times upstairs, it was purely to find clothes that were more comfortable.
Yuan Zhou patted the hem of his narrow sleeves and looked at the clean cloth shoes that Yin Ya gave him. He nodded at his reflection in the mirror in satisfaction and then went downstairs.
He walked to the kitchen, opened the partition, and went straight to Wuhai's art studio.
Wuhai lived on the second floor. When he opened the door and entered, he saw that the easel had been replaced by a sofa and a coffee table. Everyone was also present.
They sat around the coffee table with their own teacups on it. They were all sitting comfortably on the sofa and didn't look very formal.
Actually, there weren't many people. There were only a few senior members of the Queuing Committee. They were Jiang Changxi, Yu Chu, Wuhai, Zheng Jiawei, Ling Hong, Yin Ya, and Yuan Zhou, who had just entered.
These people were also the main people in charge of Yuan Zhou's review website.
The main purpose of the meeting today was to confirm the future development of the review website.
The reason was that after Yuan Zhou's fame grew, many shops started asking the website to review their shops.
They had already discussed this matter on WeChat. This meeting was just to confirm it. Therefore, after the discussion, the main purpose of the meeting was to get to know each other. After chatting for a while, they dispersed after an hour and a half.
After the meeting, Jiang Changxi left with Yu Chu. As for Zheng Jiawei and Wuhai, they stayed in the art studio. Yuan Zhou hurriedly said to Yin Ya, "Be careful on the road. Be careful."
Then, he followed Ling Hong down the stairs.
The two of them met at the bottom of the building. Ling Hong stopped, turned around, and asked, "You were looking for me?"
"Mhm." Yuan Zhou nodded. He did not say anything and went back to his shop.
"This Compass …" Ling Hong was speechless at Yuan Zhou's lack of words. He could only follow him in.
When they arrived at the shop, it was very quiet. The liveliness outside had been isolated. Only Yuan Zhou and Ling Hong were in the shop.
Ling Hong had both hands in his pockets. He looked at Yuan Zhou with a bright and relaxed expression, waiting for him to speak.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, stood there with his back straight. He looked very imposing, and his expression was very solemn.
"Tsk tsk. You look like my grandpa. Every time he scolds me, he has this expression," Ling Hong couldn't help but say.
"Let's drink tonight. My treat." Yuan Zhou ignored Ling Hong's words and invited him seriously. After thinking for a while, he added, "Feel free to drink the wine in the cellar."
"F * ck! Compass, did you transmigrate? "Ling Hong was shocked. He immediately ran to Yuan Zhou and looked at Yuan Zhou from head to toe.
"No, I'm serious. Just this once," Yuan Zhou frowned.
"Alright, I'll take it as real. But you're treating me to a drink? What's the matter? "Ling Hong asked.
"I'll treat you to a drink after the pub is over. I'll tell you then," Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.
"So mysterious? What's the matter? "Ling Hong was even more curious.
He was not curious. To be able to get Compass to treat him to a drink, the kind where he would not leave until he was drunk and allowed him to drink freely in the cellar, it was fortunate that he was not treating Chen Wei. If it was Chen Wei, he would die drunk in the cellar.
Therefore, Ling Hong became even more curious. He wasn't as addicted to alcohol as Chen Wei was. So why did Yuan Zhou suddenly treat him to a drink?
Moreover, it was in such a way. One ought to know that the timing was not right. Otherwise, it would be considered as breaking Yuan Zhou's rules.
How could Ling Hong not be curious and surprised?
"You'll know when you come," Yuan Zhou said and went upstairs without waiting for Ling Hong to continue asking.
"Ok. I will come at 12: 00 tonight." Ling Hong shrugged and walked out of the restaurant when he realized that he couldn't get any information out of her.
"I hope Ling Hong can handle it," Yuan Zhou sighed as he listened to Ling Hong's footsteps getting further and further away.
