Yuan Zhou sighed inwardly and let his thoughts wander. Then, he stopped thinking and started to prepare the dishes earnestly.
In a little while, the dishes of Li Jing and her friend Yuan Er were ready.
This time, it was also Yuan Zhou who carried them to them personally.
"Here are your dishes. Please enjoy." Yuan Zhou set down the dishes and said politely as usual, but not gently.
"Wow. Yuan Er is such a manly chef." Seeing Yuan Zhou turn around, Li Jing whispered in Yuan Er's ear.
Her tone was full of ridicule.
"Ah Jing! Why are you talking nonsense again? "Yuan Er pinched Li Jing lightly discontentedly.
"He's really handsome. But he looks a little familiar, as if I had known him before." Li Jing was a little puzzled.
"Alright. Even so much food can't stop your mouth. After eating, we still have something to do. Haven't we been looking forward to it for a long time?" Yuan Er pointed at the table full of delicious dishes and said.
"All right. Let's eat now. I'm really looking forward to it." Then, Li Jing shifted her attention to the dining table and started to look forward to the delicacies.
"Humm. Let's eat." Yuan Er nodded the head.
Only then did the two people start to eat.
Li Jing naturally started to eat the Egg Fried Rice Set first.
"There's surprisingly no egg or chopped green onions. Besides, the color is still golden. I wonder if it's delicious." Li Jing was a little puzzled. Anyhow, she had been looking for it for such a long time. Therefore, she would definitely eat it.
She scooped up a spoonful and then put it into her mouth.
"Humm. It's so delicious." Instantly, Li Jing's eyes lit up and she praised.
Then, she ate the dishes as fast as a gust of wind. Yuan Er beside her also did the same.
The two beauties quickly ate the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou with a satisfied look on their faces.
During the process, they savored the dishes carefully from time to time and praised in a low voice.
"Yuan Er, this Dongpo Pig Knuckle is super delicious. Try it. Don't just eat vegetables." Li Jing generously shared some with Yuan Er.
Girls always liked to share delicious food with their friends. Therefore, the two people started to feed each other.
While cooking at the side, Yuan Zhou looked at them from time to time.
There was a sense of unfamiliarity in his eyes and more of nostalgia. However, it didn't seem like he was missing a person, but a period of time.
Li Jing and Yuan Er were like ordinary customers. They finished their food and left. Yuan Zhou didn't say a word.
He didn't remind Li Jing that they knew each other and were classmates.
Even if Li Jing seemed to be going far away, perhaps they would never meet again.
Yuan Zhou could go up and chat with them and tell them what was on his mind. After all, the invitation card was very precious. But Yuan Zhou didn't do that. Perhaps Li Jing wouldn't even remember such a classmate and wouldn't know that there was such a person who had a crush on her.
However, this was what Yuan Zhou wanted. Liking you is my business, you don't need to know.
Just like now, Yuan Zhou wanted to see Li Jing to bid farewell to his school days, and Li Jing didn't need to know about it.
After the two of them left, Yuan Zhou looked at Li Jing's back in a daze, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Perhaps Yuan Zhou didn't like Li Jing. He just liked the feeling of having a crush on someone.
Peace was restored, and lunch hours were completed as usual.
After a while, Zhou Jia wiped the tables and chairs, washed the rags and hung them.
Only then did she turn to Yuan Zhou who had been in a daze since just now and said, "Boss, I'm leaving now. See you in the evening."
"Um. Bye." Yuan Zhou said habitually.
"Bye." Zhou Jia nodded her head earnestly and then turned around, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute. You don't need to come in the evening." Yuan Zhou suddenly said.
"Ah? Why? "Zhou Jia asked in surprise instantly.
Then she started to think what she had done wrong and why Boss Yuan suddenly didn't want her to come to work.
His expression and nerves were all tensed up.
"I mean I have something to do at night and won't open the door. The salary is still the same." Seeing Zhou Jia's shocked expression, Yuan Zhou reacted and then explained.
"Do I need to write a leave request?" Zhou Jia let out a sigh of relief and then asked calmly.
"No need. I can do it myself." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and thought for a while and then refused.
"Boss, I'm leaving now." Zhou Jia knew her boss wouldn't change his mind. Therefore, she left straightforwardly. "Um.
Go ahead. Don't be late tomorrow. "Yuan Zhou reminded her as usual.
After Zhou Jia's figure disappeared, Yuan Zhou went upstairs and took out a blank A4 paper, preparing to write down the reasons for taking leave.
What a joke. As a boss with integrity and principles, he would give a reasonable reason every time he asked for leave.
"I got it. This holiday is not bad. I should take a rest." Yuan Zhou looked through the day's festivals in every country carefully and then chose one at a glance.
When the tip of the pen touched the paper, it emitted a sound of "Shua Shua Shua". The reason for taking leave was written down neatly on the A4 paper.
[As today is the International Journalists' Day, I hereby take a half-day break to show my respect to all the journalists.
In addition, I will compensate the customers with a barbecue in the evening from 12: 00 midnight to 2: 00 am. ]
The signature was naturally Yuan Zhou. This time, he specially added another sentence, "The right of final explanation belongs to this restaurant."
Yuan Zhou had always believed that this sentence was very principled and conformed to his taste very much.
"Okay. Now it's time to find someone." Looking at the leave application on the table with satisfaction, Yuan Zhou took out his phone and muttered to himself.
"Who should I find?" Yuan Zhou looked through the contact list of the phone and was a little worried.
Yuan Zhou didn't like interpersonal communication. He liked to play by himself. Therefore, there were only a few people in the contact list.
"Sun Ming's restaurant is open at this time. KFC is working at this time." Yuan Zhou looked through the list and eliminated.
Then, he tapped on a person he had only contacted once, Jiang Changxi.
"Is this the phone number left because of Shin Min last time?" Yuan Zhou thought carefully for a while.
Thinking of Shin Min, Yuan Zhou thought of Jiang Changxi. It seemed that they were picked up by the same taxi every time he came here. Therefore, they should be familiar with each other.
Thinking of Jiang Changxi's habitual teasing, Yuan Zhou hesitated for a while and then dialed the phone number.
The phone was answered very quickly. It was picked up after just one ring.
Before Yuan Zhou said anything, however, Jiang Changxi said first with a smile.
"What a rare guest. Are you calling me to try the mattress at my place?"
"Cough cough cough. I have something serious to talk to you." Yuan Zhou tried his best to keep a straight face and make his tone more serious.
"Hey. Boss Yuan, don't tell me you want me to pick up the girl again. It's daytime now." Jiang Changxi's tone was obviously teasing.
"No. I want to ask the taxi driver you are familiar with to take me to Meishan and come back before 10: 00 pm." Yuan Zhou hurriedly brought out his purpose in case of being teased again.
"About that?" Jiang Changxi was a little surprised.
"Yes. That's it." Yuan Zhou couldn't help nodding the head while holding the phone.
"If you don't mind, I can help you tell him." Jiang Changxi didn't hesitate but asked.
"Are you also going to Meishan?" Yuan Zhou didn't think Jiang Changxi was accompanying him, thus he guessed.
"Yes. I happen to need to get something." When Jiang Changxi talked about the important matter, she was quite serious.
"I don't mind. But I need to go now." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and felt it was not a problem to share a taxi.
"Okay. We will go to the restaurant to pick you up now." After saying that, Jiang Changxi hung up the phone directly.
"She actually hung up faster than me. Fortunately, I called her." Yuan Zhou looked at the phone that was hung up and felt lucky.
Since he needed to go out immediately, Yuan Zhou took the leave application and walked to the door. After looking around, he took out the glued paper and pasted it directly on the door.
"Done." After that, Yuan Zhou pulled the door down quickly as if he had practiced it before. After closing the door, he said leisurely.
At the other side, Jiang Changxi called Master Bai and went to Yuanzhou Shop.
