Zhou Jia knew one of Yuan Zhou's little tricks. Every time someone praised him, Yuan Zhou would put on a nonchalant expression, but his fingers would dance around uncontrollably.
To Zhou Jia, this was very Boss Yuan's behavior.
"My cousin told me that Boss Yuan is the most ferocious boss. We can't break the rules, or we won't be given food." Hu Ti gave a completely different description.
"I'm even more curious about who your cousin is." Zhou Jia did not pursue the matter. She could already see how frightened Hu Ti was.
She did not know what that cousin had instilled in him. Not only did he believe it, but he was also so cowardly.
"Why would I lie to you? Boss Yuan is really a good person. " Zhou Jia said, "And do you really believe that if what you said was true, I would still be alive after working there for half a year?"
"Boss Yuan is the person who has treated me the best ever since I came to Chengdu for university. He's like an elder to me," Zhou Jia said seriously.
Her explanation was very convincing. Hu Ti believed her for the time being.
Of course, Hu Ti was still puzzled as to why he wanted to meet the boss of a part-time shop. However, he trusted Zhou Jia and did not probe further.
"I'm sorry, Jia Jia. You really don't know what my cousin told me, but I promised him that I wouldn't betray him," Hu Ti said seriously.
"Yes, seeing is believing. You'll know when you see Boss Yuan," Zhou Jia nodded.
"Alright, I'll do my best." Hu Ti took a deep breath and adjusted his state of mind. They were about to reach the shop.
The two of them entered the shop one after another. The moment they entered, Hu Ti was immediately intimidated by Yuan Zhou's appearance. The domineering look of the round-neck robe and Yuan Zhou's stern expression made him look completely different from a gentle person.
"You're here," Yuan Zhou said calmly as he put down his book.
As a parent, he had to be authoritative. After all, he had been famous for a long time. Therefore, Yuan Zhou still had that bit of authority.
"Boss Yuan, this is my boyfriend, Hu Ti. Gu Yue Hu, Ti as in Ti," Zhou Jia introduced before turning to her boyfriend and saying, "This is Boss Yuan."
After Zhou Jia's introduction, Hu Ti calmed himself down before speaking. The two of them started a question-and-answer session.
"Nice to meet you, Boss Yuan."
"Nice to meet you too."
"It must be tough for Boss Yuan."
"It must be tough for you to study."
"It's not."
"It's not tough for you are."
Between Hu Ti and Yuan Zhou, one of them had a trauma in his heart and this was his first time meeting a senior, while the other was constantly reminding himself to maintain the dignity of a senior.
Therefore, the conversation between the two of them was very awkward. This really made Zhou Jia, who was at the side, feel awkward.
It was only after Zhou Jia spoke up to ease the tension that things became much better.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Zhou had a rough understanding of this young man called Hu Ti.
Hu Ti's family background was not bad. He was an only child and his parents were well-to-do. Although they were not very rich, they had some savings.
From the short conversation, Hu Ti's personality was rather careless. He was the kind of person who did things on impulse. He did not have much composure most of the time.
"What do you like to eat?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
"I prefer steak," Hu Ti said after some thought.
"Then, do you know what she likes to eat?" Yuan Zhou pointed at Zhou Jia.
"Uh …" Hu Ti thought for a moment. After some time, he managed to think of a broccoli that Zhou Jia liked.
"Other than broccoli, Zhou Jia also likes mushrooms. If it's pork, she likes shredded pork with green peppers the most. She doesn't like chicken. If it's duck, she only likes salted duck." Yuan Zhou frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Also, she doesn't like soft drinks. Remember that."
Hu Ti nodded immediately. He knew that he was careless, so he took out his cell phone and made a note.
It was rather harmonious as one spoke while the other took notes. However, Zhou Jia's jaw dropped in shock.
"Boss Yuan, how do you know all this?" Zhou Jia could not help but ask.
One had to know that what Yuan Zhou had said was exactly the same as Zhou Jia's eating habits. Logically speaking, she had never told anyone about it.
"Why wouldn't I know?" Yuan Zhou said calmly.
As a matter of fact, after Zhou Jia asked about it, she knew why. Yuan Zhou was a famous chef. He definitely knew about these things bit by bit in daily life.
"Thank you, Boss Yuan." Zhou Jia's heart warmed as she thanked him with a big smile.
Yuan Zhou waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.
Hu Ti jotted it down. He now knew why Zhou Jia would bring him to meet Yuan Zhou, a person she was not related to by blood. He was like a senior to her. It was great to have such a person in an unfamiliar city.
Then, Yuan Zhou and Hu Ti continued chatting.
Between couples, the most important thing was whether they loved each other. Love could be greater than many things. What parents cared about most was the family environment.
In the past, Yuan Zhou did not understand why there was such a huge difference between parents and daughters. But now, after observing Hu Ti for himself, Yuan Zhou understood a little.
Don't believe in advertisements that say, "Love can be seen from a fleeting gaze". In any case, Yuan Zhou did not know about such things. How could one tell from a fleeting gaze other than eye wax?
Anyway, with Yuan Zhou's sharp five senses, he could not tell anything.
Alright, taking a step back, even if you can tell if it's true love, then does love mean that it will last?
Parents could not possibly watch over their daughter all the time. They also did not know how their daughter's relationship went. Therefore, they could only try their best to ensure that their daughter lived a good life.
If she fell in love with someone from a better family and had a better personality, at least she would not suffer in life if the other party changed her mind.
But if she fell in love with someone from a worse family and had a bad personality, it would be a real emotional blow and she would suffer in life.
How heartbreaking would that be for the parents? Take the current Yuan Zhou for example. He had the sharpest five senses in the world, but through a single meeting, he could only ascertain the man's family background and his personality.
A married daughter was like spilled water. There were many snobbish parents, but there were even more ordinary parents. This was the most selfless love for their daughter.
Because love was a matter between two people, but marriage was a matter between two families.
Yuan Zhou felt emotional about this. He even began to worry about what would happen to his daughter in the future.
I wonder what I will do when my daughter brings her boyfriend back in the future? Compete with him in knife skills? Yuan Zhou thought to himself.
However, Yuan Zhou had forgotten that he was a single dog without a girlfriend. How could he have a daughter to worry about?
After all, compared to his daughter, it was more important for him to not be single. After all, Broth had been single for a long time.
