A few days later...
"Boss Yuan, Boss Yuan, something terrible happened." A man suddenly ran into the restaurant and said anxiously.
It was almost noon in the morning. There was nobody in the restaurant, even Zhou Jia hadn't come yet.
Only Yuan Zhou was preparing the lunch alone.
On hearing that, Yuan Zhou raised his head and looked at the man.
"Wu Zhou, what's wrong?" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled.
"Wow, you are still as steady as Mount Tai. There's a new western restaurant next door. Look, this is the invitation letter." Wu Zhou was quite anxious when he saw Yuan Zhou's steadfast manner. While saying that, he handed out a delicate card to Yuan Zhou.
The card looked very gorgeous. It was wrapped in an invitation bag and the paper felt as delicate as silk.
"Is your company holding the annual meeting so early?" Yuan Zhou took the invitation card and asked with puzzlement.
"No. It's the new restaurant next door. Look, quickly." Wu Zhou almost wanted to roll his eyes. He pointed at the invitation letter and said solemnly.
"Humm, I know. Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and thanked him, but didn't intend to open it.
"Why are you still so calm? It's a high-end restaurant and it's right next to you." Wu Zhou said anxiously while pointing at the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
After a short pause, Wu Zhou continued, "Of course, I also support you, Boss Yuan."
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Seeing Wu Zhou keep looking at it, Yuan Zhou symbolically opened the invitation letter and prepared to have a look.
The invitation letter was quite formal. At the head of the letter was written "For Mr. Wu Zhou" and the content was below.
It was quite long. Yuan Zhou summarized it as: [The restaurant will be officially opened on October 1st. Hope you can come and taste it. ]
The rest were just some blessings.
The entire invitation letter was gorgeous rose red with dark lines printed on it. It had both texture and touch in the hand.
"It's a pretty gorgeous invitation letter and very formal." Yuan Zhou commented justly.
"It's quite threatening, isn't it? Boss Yuan, do you think his dishes are delicious?" Wu Zhou asked curiously.
"It's said that the head chef is a senior technician. It should be good." Yuan Zhou's comments were always pertinent.
"Master?" Wu Zhou wasn't from the cooking circle and thus didn't understand the meaning of master.
"It's another form of address for a chef," Yuan Zhou said concisely.
"How do I compare with you, Boss Yuan?" Wu Zhou asked with an evil smile.
"There's no comparison. I'm more powerful," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"Well, Boss Yuan, don't you want to be modest?" Wu Zhou said speechlessly.
"What I said is the truth. Since when is it immodest to say the truth?" Yuan Zhou asked with a frown. He didn't mean anything else. It was just a simple question.
"..." Wu Zhou was speechless.
Yuan Zhou asked, "Is it wrong?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss Yuan is the best." Wu Zhou said as if he were coaxing a kid.
Of course, he did think so in his heart. After all, he had never tasted the food from Yuanzhou shop before. Why would he be interested in the food from other shops?
Of course, it was also possible to give it a try.
However, there was no restaurant that didn't want to do business again and only wanted to do business once.
In this way, he couldn't open a chain restaurant.
"Speaking of which, are you worried about Boss Yuan?" Wu Zhou was actually just curious about Yuan Zhou's attitude.
"No, I'm not worried. It's also a good thing for the people's livelihood that those who don't have a chance to eat nearby." Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Boss Yuan, you are really good at acting. You almost flashed me." Wu Zhou said after being silent for quite a while. "Humm.
Business hours are almost here. You can go to line up now, "Yuan Zhou said.
"Ok, ok." Wu Zhou answered accordingly.
Only when he reached the door did he react.
"Boss Yuan is really getting more and more imposing." Looking at the back of Yuan Zhou inside, Wu Zhou sighed with emotion and said.
"Huh? It's you again? "When Wu Zhou came to the door, he found the two people who often came these days.
The combination of Li Cheng and Zhang Fan was really eye-catching. Now that they were standing at the door, Wu Zhou was naturally curious.
"Humm. Hello." Li Cheng greeted them.
Nevertheless, Zhang Fan just smiled implicitly at the side and didn't say anything.
"What a strange combination." Wu Zhou muttered in a low voice.
Standing in the front, Li Cheng had actually heard that, but he didn't turn around.
He didn't care about others' opinions and only wanted to fulfill his own wish.
"Interesting." Seeing such a combination at the back, Wu Hai also said.
Although he often heard such a combination these days, he still felt it was very interesting.
Besides, Li Cheng would ask Zhang Fan some specious questions every time.
In a little while, the lunchtime began. As usual, Li Cheng ordered Dongpo Pig Knuckle and Beef.
These two dishes were Zhang Fan's favorite dishes, which was discovered by Li Cheng.
Just like the previous times, Li Cheng asked some strange questions while eating and Zhang Fan basically answered all the questions that could be answered by him.
After the meal, the two of them usually went back separately.
However, Zhang Fan stopped this time.
"Big boss, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. It's not good to treat me to meals like this all the time." Zhang Fan said with a helpless tone.
"It's really nothing. I just want to have a meal with you." Li Cheng said earnestly.
"You're the boss. I can't afford to accept your treat. If it's really nothing, let's forget it next time." Zhang Fan had a head full of gray hair and his back was a little bent due to the heavy work all year round. However, he still spoke in a proper manner.
"You haven't recognized me even after so many times. I think you really have forgotten me." Li Cheng sighed and suddenly said that.
"I really don't know you." Zhang Fan nodded the head affirmatively.
His life was simple. How could he know such a big boss?
"You were a soldier 20 years ago, weren't you?" Li Cheng was a little excited when he said that.
"Yes. Everybody knows that." Zhang Fan was still very cautious.
He didn't believe that a big boss would open his heart to a nobody like him.
"It was also in August 1993. Did you take a vacation and go home by train?" Li Cheng's words were not a question, but a statement.
"Well..." Zhang Fan was a little speechless.
To be honest, he really didn't remember that. He was just a conscript soldier and went home after three years. Therefore, he spent quite a lot of time at home during the vacation.
He simply didn't know the things that happened so long ago.
"It was very hot that year. My mother took me to Jiangsu Province to look for my father. At that time, he was a woman with a child. Besides, the world was chaotic and it was very inconvenient." Li Cheng was a little excited when he said that.
"Eh..." Zhang Fan was actually a little embarrassed.
It was indeed a little embarrassing for an unfamiliar person to talk about private matters in front of him.
Moreover, he didn't really want to know the history of the big boss's fortune. He was almost 40 years old and had long passed the age of believing in such things.
Li Cheng nevertheless didn't care about that at the side. He just said to himself.
"The car was a green leather car and it was very hot. There was even a little cool breeze when the window was open. My mother hugged me tightly until we sat on the seat."
"Later, my mother said that her luggage was carried on the car by others. She didn't even dare to go to the toilet during the first few hours of the 30-hour train journey." Li Cheng was a little emotional.
"I'm sorry. What do you want to say?" Zhang Fan interrupted Li Cheng while he was talking.
Li Cheng had been like that for the past few days. He treated Zhang Fan to meals and asked him questions, which made Zhang Fan both impatient and perturbed.
Zhang Fan finally couldn't hold it in any longer after asking about something else.
Li Cheng, "..."
