Wu Hai turned to look at Ling Hong and said discontentedly.
"Hey, why didn't you say so?" Wu Hai would always call Ling Hong "Tycoon Tu" whenever he dissed him.
Ling Hong rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't I just say that I already had my New Year's Eve Dinner at home? Then, I came over to have a look."
To be precise, Ling Hong's family always had their New Year's Eve Dinner early and there would be a lot of people there. It was a big family. After the dinner, they would gather and talk about this and that.
After Ling Hong finished his meal, he felt a little guilty and thus walked to Yuanzhou shop unintentionally.
"Those who talk about work during the New Year's Eve Dinner are all sages. A rich second generation like me naturally can't get used to it," Ling Hong concluded.
"Those who talk about work during the New Year's Eve Dinner are all idiots," Wu Hai cursed, which was rare.
Ling Hong's eyes lit up. It was rare for him to agree with Wu Hai. He agreed repeatedly, "That's right. Idiot, idiot."
Unfortunately, Ling Hong's family always talked about work during the New Year's Eve Dinner.
Everyone had their own reasons for doing so. Anyway, they all gathered at Yuanzhou shop.
Ding Ding. Another person entered.
"Hello, Boss Yuan," the person entered the door lightly and said in a very light voice.
"Huh? Didn't you go back?" Wu Hai asked in surprise when he saw Wang Nan enter.
Wang Nan was Wu Zhou's colleague. He would occasionally come to Yuanzhou shop for a meal. A week ago, he even said that he wanted to buy a ticket to go back to his hometown.
"I didn't manage to buy a ticket," Wang Nan said flatly.
"Looks like he worked overtime again," the others said.
Indeed, Wang Nan often worked overtime. One could tell from his pale face.
"I only finished it yesterday," Wang Nan nodded and said helplessly, "Then, I didn't manage to buy a ticket no matter what."
"Oh, the Spring Festival," Wan nodded in agreement.
"Since I'm not going home, the only place I can think of is Boss Yuan's place," Wang Nan said.
"Have a seat." Yuan Zhou didn't ask much and pointed at the empty seat.
Just as Wuhai was about to speak, another person entered the room.
"Why are you here?" Wu Hai pointed at Chu Xiao with a face full of dissatisfaction. Now, he would attack whoever he saw because the "two people world" was gone.
He didn't like Chu Xiao at all. It was probably like how a husky didn't like water.
"Oh, I was just looking around. I happened to pass by. Are we going to eat glutinous rice balls today? I'm quite knowledgeable about this. Come, let me appraise it. I'll give you some basic knowledge. " Chu Xiao's eyes were very sharp. When he saw Yuan Zhou kneading the dough, he naturally sat down and said.
"I passed by here from France. What a coincidence," Wuhai retorted.
"The Earth is round." Chu Xiao nodded calmly.
Before he could retort, another person entered the room.
"The snow is really heavy. Looks like we are in luck. Everyone is here," Jiang Changxi said as she brought Yu Chu into the room.
"Aren't you on a business trip?" Ling Hong looked at the two people who entered the room.
"I canceled it. My client went home for his reunion dinner. So, we came over to freeload off the reunion dinner," Jiang Changxi shrugged.
"Sorry to trouble you," Yu Chu said politely as he patted the snow particles on his shoulder.
"Don't be so polite. Be more natural. We all know each other," Jiang Changxi patted Yu Chu's shoulder and brought them to a small table.
Outside the door, the snow particles slowly fell. Inside the Yuanzhou shop, everyone took off their coats and chatted enthusiastically.
"Director Jiang, please enjoy your meal. I'll just drink some oatmeal when I get back," Yu Chu couldn't help but say after sitting down.
"Just try it. Don't talk too much." Jiang Changxi glared at him.
"But I can't eat it, and I don't want to eat it," Yu Chu said helplessly.
"You won't say that after you eat it," Jiang Changxi said confidently.
"Others might, but I definitely won't," Yu Chu said confidently.
"Don't be so sure. You might order another bowl later," Jiang Changxi said with a sly smile.
"Don't worry. I won't," Yu Chu said the same thing.
It wasn't like he had never eaten delicious food before. However, he still felt that eating was a waste of time. Thus, fast food like oatmeal was more suitable for him.
"We'll be eating Tangyuan tonight. Two bowls per person, one sweet and one salty. Each bowl has six Tangyuan. Everyone should know the rules. If you can't finish it, let me know in advance," Yuan Zhou said after finishing his preparations.
"Tangyuan sounds good. It's round and round," Mr. Wei immediately chimed in.
"Yes, yes, yes. I like to eat Tangyuan," Wei Wei said with a smile.
"Two bowls," Wu Hai said straightforwardly.
"A bowl of sweet." Wan followed closely behind.
"I've eaten. I'll have a salty one first." Although Ling Hong felt like he couldn't eat anymore, he still chose to be conservative and ordered one bowl first. What if he wanted another bowl?
"Is it meat that's salty?" Jiang Changxi was more concerned about this.
"Fresh meat." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"A salty one." Jiang Changxi was a meat-eater. After all, she wasn't afraid of getting fat.
"Give me a bowl that's both sweet and salty. Just one will do." Under the urging gaze of Jiang Changxi, Yu Chu reluctantly ordered a bowl as well.
"You can't do that, right?" Jiang Changxi frowned.
After all, it might not be possible to just muddle along like this, although Yuan Zhou didn't seem to say that it was impossible.
"Sure, but no more bowls." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"I didn't know how to refill the bowl in the first place. Sorry for the trouble," Yu Chu didn't say the first part out loud, but he did say his thanks.
"You can order it like this?" Wei Wei, who was originally conflicted about whether to eat sweet or salty, was very happy.
After all, she wanted to taste both sweet and salty, but she couldn't finish two bowls. Naturally, she was conflicted. It was best to order it like this.
"Two bowls. Meat first." Chen Wei naturally wanted to eat two bowls as well.
"A bowl of sweet," Wang Nan said.
After everyone finished ordering, Yuan Zhou didn't immediately start eating. Instead, he said, "It's my treat tonight."
"Huh?"
"Tomorrow is the end of the world?"
"What the hell?"
"Boss Yuan must have been replaced by someone else."
"I feel like I've met a fake Boss Yuan."
"Boss Yuan, are you in love?" Chen Wei's mind was filled with love.
The customers in the restaurant were startled by Yuan Zhou's words. They stared at Yuan Zhou in disbelief.
"It's my treat. It's our reunion dinner," Yuan Zhou explained gently, which was rare for him.
Wei Wei was the first to come back to her senses and said happily, "That's great. Someone is treating us to Tangyuan today.
"Is this boss usually very stingy?" Yu Chu couldn't help but ask when he saw the looks of disbelief on the customers' faces.
"Not very. Very. But he's not stingy. He's inflexible and follows the rules," Jiang Changxi said solemnly.
"Eh, if it's free today, will the food taste good?" Yu Chu was a little worried.
After all, for such a stingy person to suddenly become so generous, Yu Chu, who had never been here before, was naturally worried that the ingredients would be bad. Although he wasn't interested in gourmet food, he didn't want to eat anything bad.
However, Yuan Zhou didn't care about their discussion. He turned around and started cooking the Tangyuan.
After all, it was getting late. It was time for dinner …
