"Thank you, chairman. Sorry for making Zhong Lili wait for so long," Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly after he returned to the restaurant and picked up the box on the table.
The color of the box was a beautiful reddish-brown and the surface of the box was glowing. It was obviously made of high-quality wood.
"There's also a fragrance." Yuan Zhou picked it up and looked at it. The fragrance came from the wooden box.
There was a copper buckle on the wooden box. Yuan Zhou picked it up and opened it after a sound of "Pa Da".
Yuan Zhou opened the lid carefully and revealed the yellowish and brittle ancient book inside.
"It's really from a long time ago." Yuan Zhou looked at the characters on the cover carefully.
Facing such an ancient book, Yuan Zhou didn't directly pick it up and read it. Instead, he closed the lid again and put it on the table carefully. After that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen to wash his hands.
After cleaning his hands and wearing gloves, he started to read the ancient book again. It was a kind of protection. Although he didn't know how much it was worth, it belonged to Chairman Zhou. Therefore, he should return it exactly as it was lent to him.
"Hua La La". With the sound of water, Yuan Zhou started to wash his hands earnestly.
Yuan Zhou washed his hands differently from others. He washed them very cleanly and earnestly. Seeing Yuan Zhou wash his hands, a germaphobe would definitely be very happy. Just when he was washing his hands, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
"Is it the chairman?" Yuan Zhou paused for a while. After wiping his hands dry, he picked up the phone and answered it.
As soon as he took out the phone, however, Yuan Zhou became stupefied, "Jiang Changxi?"
The name Jiang Changxi displayed on the screen of the phone made Yuan Zhou quite hesitant.
After all, ever since Jiang Changxi got Yuan Zhou's call, she had called him more than once to tease him.
For example, she asked him to come to her house to repair her bed, go for a massage together, or told him that the door of her house was broken in the middle of the night.
Especially once, Jiang Changxi said she was drunk and asked Yuan Zhou to send her out. Yuan Zhou earnestly called Master Huang, who usually picked her up every day.
At that time, Jiang Changxi wanted Yuan Zhou to send her home, because she didn't bring any money with her after work, so she couldn't pay the fare. However, Yuan Zhou directly said that he didn't know her family and that he could pay the master tomorrow. Then, he directly left.
"Are you kidding me? You want to trick me into paying the fare? Who doesn't know that you pay the fare every month?"
Don't think that Yuan Zhou was destined to be alone for the rest of his life. In fact, he knew very well that if he had any improper thoughts, he wouldn't be able to get anything out of Jiang Changxi.
Even if Queen Jiang was drunk, she was still Queen Jiang.
In any case, Jiang Changxi's misdeeds were too numerous to enumerate. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was hesitant to answer her call. The most important thing now was to research Three Fragrance to the Ocean. It was tiring to deal with Queen Jiang.
It's night time now, and it's getting late. It should be reasonable for me to pretend that I didn't see the call at this time. Will Chang Xi cause trouble for me tomorrow? Yuan Zhou thought to himself.
He didn't pick up the call, but the phone continued to ring relentlessly.
"Forget it, I'll pick it up." After the second call rang for the last time, Yuan Zhou picked up the phone.
Yuan Zhou didn't speak immediately. Instead, he waited for Jiang Changxi to speak first.
"Compass, what are you doing? Reading and practicing your culinary skills again?" Jiang Changxi's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mhm," Yuan Zhou answered cautiously.
"You should also take some time to relax. Pay attention to your neck and lumbar spine. Furthermore, you stand for too long every day. It's easy to get varicose veins. After all, you are still young. Come, let Big Sister give you a massage …" Jiang Changxi began her routine of persuasion.
Yuan Zhou thought to himself, Just like before, she's here to tease me. After all, Jiang Changxi would always persuade him like this before teasing him.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou listened quietly and didn't reply.
"Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. I have something to discuss with you today. Ling Hong, Wuhai, and I are going to set up a website," Jiang Changxi didn't mind Yuan Zhou's silence. After talking for a long time, she suddenly changed the topic.
"Mhm?" Yuan Zhou was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to react. The topic changed too quickly.
"It's a website about gourmet food. We plan to have a conference call now," Jiang Changxi explained.
"Okay," Yuan Zhou carefully recalled Jiang Changxi's words and then replied.
"That's good. I'll connect now and we can discuss it together," Jiang Changxi said.
"Sure," Yuan Zhou said.
Although Yuan Zhou didn't know what the gourmet website had to do with him, he still agreed. After all, it was related to gourmet food. He was still interested.
"I'll hang up first. Remember to answer the call when the conference call comes later," Jiang Changxi said and hung up the phone.
When there was something to do, Jiang Changxi was very decisive. Of course, teasing Yuan Zhou didn't count.
Since he promised Jiang Changxi, Yuan Zhou didn't plan to read the ancient books. He took the box and went upstairs. On the second floor, Yuan Zhou just sat in front of his desk when his phone rang again. This time, Yuan Zhou picked it up quickly.
"Hello, hello, hello. Did you get through?" Once the call was connected, Wuhai's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, I did," Yuan Zhou said.
"Compass is online. Where's No Discount Ling?" Wuhai greeted Yuan Zhou and then asked casually.
"You talk too much. Look at how quiet Boss Yuan is." Ling Hong's voice followed.
"Alright. Let's discuss." Before the two started arguing, Jiang Changxi directly stopped them.
"Yes, let's discuss. I think I can be in charge of the website design. If you have any requirements for the website or other designs, you can let me know." Wuhai directly started assigning tasks.
"Let's discuss first," Ling Hong said. "Compass must still be confused."
"Then let me talk about the details first," Jiang Changxi continued.
"Um," Yuan Zhou answered calmly as usual.
"Here's the thing. We are preparing to set up a website. Compass will be in charge of the image and I will be in charge of the daily operations. When the time comes, Yu Chu will be in charge of the overall data source. There will also be a few anonymous partners to audit the data," Jiang Changxi said slowly.
"And?" Yuan Zhou listened attentively.
"Wu Zhou will be in charge of the website structure. He has wanted to do it for a long time. Ling Hong will be in charge of external publicity. Wuhai just said that he will be in charge of the design," Jiang Changxi first voiced out everyone's thoughts.
"I was the one who suggested this website. Not bad, right?" At this moment, Ling Hong came out to take credit.
"Hehe," it was Wuhai's disdain.
"Shameless Wu," Ling Hong retorted.
"Don't argue," Jiang Changxi said calmly. Ling Hong and Wuhai instantly stopped talking.
Other than Jiang Changxi, no one else could shut Ling Hong and Wuhai up with just one sentence.
"Yuan Zhou, what do you think?" Jiang Changxi asked after the other side of the phone calmed down.
"What should I be in charge of?" Yuan Zhou couldn't help but ask after not hearing his own name.
"Compass is a master chef. He will be in charge of our image," Ling Hong said in a rare serious tone, "This will make our website look serious."
Yuan Zhou frowned. Make the website look serious? Isn't it a gourmet website? Is there something improper about it?
