Being reminded by the system, Yuan Zhou woke up instantly and asked immediately, "It's not even 6 o 'clock. How did you know that the mission has been completed?"
The system displayed, "The official morning papers have been published and then delivered to various places. Host, the mission has been completed."
"I should really learn from you. System, you are quite fast," Yuan Zhou said with a nod.
The system displayed, "Thank you for your compliment. This is the 21st time you have complimented me."
Twenty-one times? That was so accurate. Yuan Zhou felt he should compliment the system more.
"Alright. Let's receive the reward. Can I not specify all the ingredients in one go?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes, as long as it doesn't exceed the quantity."
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then went downstairs to jog.
After all, breakfast would start soon and Yuan Zhou planned to cook crab meat buns today.
Dressed in black sportswear, Yuan Zhou was welcomed by a large number of people as soon as he ran out of the back alley.
A group of people was waiting at the intersection. They were all the uncles, aunties, young girls and young men in the neighborhood, as well as the shop owners nearby.
These people seemed to have known that Yuan Zhou would jog past here and thus waited there early. Even the reporters at the side could only line up behind these people.
As soon as they saw Yuan Zhou jog out, they immediately shouted in unison, "Welcome back, Boss Yuan."
Yuan Zhou was stupefied inwardly, but he looked at them calmly on the surface.
Director Wu of the Street Office, a middle-aged woman with a warm smile, stood out and said, "Boss Yuan, you have brought honor to our Taoxi Road. We are here to welcome you back."
"Normally, we should have welcomed you yesterday, Boss Yuan. But we didn't know when you would arrive, so we moved it to this morning." Director Wu explained slightly.
"Um. Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then thanked her earnestly.
"You're welcome." Director Wu waved her hand continuously.
Even the crowd behind her said repeatedly, "Yeah, you're welcome. We should thank you, Boss Yuan."
"No, I also live in Taoxi Road." Yuan Zhou shook his head and said earnestly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Boss Yuan is a resident of Taoxi Road." As soon as Yuan Zhou said that, Director Wu immediately chimed in. The crowd at the side also nodded smilingly.
"Okay, we welcome him. Let Boss Yuan run." As soon as Director Wu spoke, these people immediately made way for him.
Even the reporters wanted to squeeze in for an interview, but they were stopped by the enthusiastic neighbors.
The neighbors kept saying, "Boss Yuan is jogging. He's not accepting interviews. Let's schedule another time."
"That's right. Don't disturb Boss Yuan's training."
"That's right. Boss Yuan exercises every day. Next time you come, we know a lot of things you want to know."
As they said that, those reporters naturally couldn't go forward to interview Yuan Zhou. They could only watch Yuan Zhou slow down and nod at everyone who greeted him and then run away.
As soon as he ran out of the crowd, however, Yuan Zhou didn't care about his usual rule of looking forward. Instead, he kept looking left and right.
The reason was very simple. Every shop on Taoxi Road was hung with a red banner.
On the banners were written [Welcome back, Boss Yuan] and [Boss Yuan makes great achievements again]. Some shops selling animation-related products even wrote [Boss Yuan is the best].
Yuan Zhou ran past every shop step by step. Every shop was hung with the same banner, just like the red lanterns at the shop door.
At that time, Xia Yu ran over and greeted him smilingly, "Morning."
"Morning." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and answered.
Soon, Xia Yu found that Yuan Zhou was looking at the banner carefully. She couldn't help asking, "How is it? Are you surprised?"
"Very surprised." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Yes, very surprised. Yuan Zhou didn't have such an influence when he participated in the exchange meeting between China and Japan last time. But now he did. He was both surprised and moved.
"That's not all. The whole Taoxi Road is hung with it. Even Mr. Wu's Food City has a big banner and a TV advertisement." Xia Yu pointed at the real estate sales center in front of them and said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and was a little happy in his heart.
"The one at the end of the street is hung by the Street Administration Office, while the one in the shops here is hung by the shop owners themselves. It seems that they have discussed it, but it's actually just a coincidence." Xia Yu shrugged and then said, "Now, Boss Yuan, you are the most beautiful boy on Taoxi Road."
"…" Yuan Zhou refused to answer her last sentence and continued to look at the banner silently.
Just as Xia Yu said, when Yuan Zhou turned his head and ran to Taoxi Road, he indeed saw banners hanging in every shop all the way to the end of Taoxi Road.
During this period, except for Xia Yu who exercised every day, everyone he met would greet Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou responded to them one by one as usual and then continued running.
Looking at the Taoxi Road with the jubilant red banners, Yuan Zhou felt that he had returned home more strongly.
As usual, Xia Yu accompanied him to run for half of the distance and then turned around and walked back.
After Yuan Zhou finished running, he returned to the restaurant from the back door. He washed up quickly and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
"The steamed buns I ate today are not counted. Let me make 100 steamed buns." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself, "It's not against my own rules."
In the end, Yuan Zhou made a total of 102 Candies. He ate two of them and sold the remaining 100 Candies.
This was the first time. Normally, Yuan Zhou also counted the steamed buns he ate in the 100.
Naturally, nobody knew what was on Yuan Zhou's mind. However, it was quite boisterous at the entrance of Yuan Zhou's restaurant. They hadn't eaten for three days. Even if they knew they couldn't eat it, those who didn't get in line still refused to leave. They just stood at the entrance and chatted with their acquaintances.
"Boss Yuan is still so punctual. Is there a meeting today? I see even Zhou Jia is here." Someone sighed with emotion.
"That's for sure. Everything Boss Yuan has said since he opened the restaurant has come true." Someone at the side immediately chimed in.
"Just look at the banners all over the street and you'll know how awesome Boss Yuan is." Tang Xi's fangirl was one of the people who couldn't eat and chatted here.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect that. There weren't any banners yesterday. When I came here today, I thought it was some kind of activity. But when I looked carefully, they were all welcoming Boss Yuan."
"Exactly. The street looks really boisterous."
"However, only Boss Yuan can reach such a level. After all, Boss Yuan is so awesome."
"Come on. Let's take a look at the official media report this morning. Look at the titles under the name of our Boss Yuan." The grandpa had the habit of reading newspapers. He held up a copy of People's Daily and said loudly.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Someone immediately asked.
"This is People's Daily. It has to report on the Asia-Pacific Exchange Conference. Our Boss Yuan is going to attend this conference and moreover, he is the leader among the chefs. Therefore, it naturally has to report on him. This is the report on Boss Yuan." The grandpa explained smilingly.
"Grandpa, show us the newspaper, too." The customers said loudly.
