Chapter 264: Yuan Zhou’s Passive Acting-Cool Skills (Part 1)
Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth
Seeing that Shen Ming was a little embarrassed, Mu Xiaoyun let her brother, Mu Xiaojie, leave first and then started to talk with Shen Min.
"Elder sister, Boss Yuan’s aning is that you can take a cab when you leave at night. And if there’s not enough ti, you can also leave first."
After saying that, Mu Xiaoyun blinked naughtily.
"Really?" Shen Min was suspicious about that.
"I’m serious. I worked here for two months during the sumr vacation." Said Mu Xiaoyun affirmatively.
Only then did Shen Min believe in her. She looked at Yuan Zhou with uncertainty and again at Mu Xiaoyun.
"I’m leaving. Elder sister, bye." When Mu Xiaoyun found Shen Min wasn’t that depressed anymore, she ran out of the restaurant and went to et her brother.
Even if she wasn’t quite sure about that, Shen Min found it inappropriate to ask. After all, Yuan Zhou had said that just now. What else could she ask? She could only work more diligently.
While Yuan Zhou was orderly preparing for the business ti at night, Zhou Jia, which had just got off work, nevertheless beca unhappy.
Zhou Jia just boarded the bus and was preparing to go to the night school when her phone rang.
On the screen were the two words of Li Fang, which appeared quite conspicuous.
"Why is this person calling ?" With a frown, Zhou Jia only answered the phone after it rang quite a while.
"Jia Jia, why did you answer the phone so slowly?" As soon as the phone was put through, a male voice with slight impatience passed.
The voice sounded good, being loud and clear. The content was nevertheless not as good as the voice.
"What’s the matter?" Zhou Jia usually looked coly. Yet now, her thin eyebrows were frowning as she said indifferently.
"Couldn’t I call you if there are no matters? How’s your studying in the evening college?" said the man deservedly with a tone of amusent.
"Couldn’t be better. I’m going to class." While speaking of that, Zhou Jia prepared to hang off the phone.
"Hold on. I’m just asking if you want to co to my departnt to work. I have just been promoted to the director of the cold dish departnt." With an unapparent sense of superiority in his tone, the man said quite affirmatively.
"No need. I have got a job. It’s also in a restaurant," Zhou Jia refused imdiately.
"What kind of good job can you find? The duration won’t be long. Besides, you should know I’m working in a four-star hotel." While speaking, the man revealed obvious arrogance in his tone.
However, that only made Zhou Jia dislike him more.
"So what? My boss cooks much better than the chefs in your hotel," after a scornful laugh, Zhou Jia said with a fairly affirmative tone.
"Jia Jia, you can’t say like that. The head chef of my hotel is a first-class cook. How could a boss of a tiny restaurant compare with our head chef on culinary skills?" A look of disdain could apparently be imagined out from the way he talked.
"You don’t believe ? Just co and have a taste on your own. Of course, it only works if you are able to afford the dishes," said Zhou Jia with full of confidence.
"Haw-haw. How expensive could dishes in a tiny restaurant be? I will go to visit you tomorrow," answered the man with a fairly deserved manner.
"Don’t bla for not reminding you when you find you can’t afford it. I’m going to class now." When Zhou Jia was arriving at the right bus stop, she hung up the phone imdiately.
"Send the address to my phone..." Even before the male voice ended, Zhou Jia had hung up the phone.
Taking the phone in her hand, Zhou Jia thought for quite a while before sending the address of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant to the man.
It might not be a bad idea to deal this arrogant man a blow. Zhou Jia disliked him very much.
This man was Li Fang, who once had a blind date with Zhou Jia. At that ti, Zhou Jia just made so polite greetings with a very conspicuous sense of refusal. But the guy Li Fang had taken a fancy to Zhou Jia and moreover considered himself to be her boyfriend every ti.
It was a tradition in Zhou Jia’s hotown that at the first eting of a blind date, if the lady didn’t reject on the spot or even if she just agreed to make regular friends to start with, the man would think the lady had admitted their relationship. Naturally, Zhou Jia only got to know that after the eting.
Therefore, she was entangled by him since then. It didn’t work even if Zhou Jia refused him in a euphemistic but explicit way. Li Fang just insisted that they should try to get on together.
Of course, his job in the cold dish departnt of the four-star hotel made Li Fang feel proud, along with his craftsmanship.
In the past half a month, Zhou Jia had gotten to know her boss quite well. He was the person who defeated the head chef at World Foodie Hotel. The very high price, the custors lining up for als every day, and the very poor dining atmosphere were the best evidence of Yuan Zhou’s superb culinary skills.
Zhou Jia felt that Boss Yuan would definitely teach him how to behave humbly as long as Li Fang dared to co tomorrow.
Then, Zhou Jia went to class with confidence.
The sun and moon changed shifts every day. On the next early morning, Yuan Zhou got out of the bed and went out to jog before opening the restaurant for business. Everything went as usual during the breakfast ti and nothing special happened.
Yuan Zhou was only thinking about how to improve his speaking skills in order to complete the mission. Never had he expected that sobody would go to his restaurant to have a al with a purpose of challenging him.
Custors were still as many as usual. Yuan Zhou was also busy with cooking in the kitchen.
"Boss Yuan, one serving of Egg Fried Rice."
"Stead Tofu with Minced Pork plus one serving of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine."
"Sautéed Vermicelli with Spicy Minced Pork and one serving of 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, Boss Yuan."
The sound of ordering dishes rose one after another and the restaurant also beca lively due to the crowd of custors.
To Li Fang, he was quite happy to go and help Zhou Jia judge the tiny restaurant since she made the appointnt. That’s right. He thought Zhou Jia was actually asking him to help her evaluate the craftsmanship of her boss.
After all, he was the director of the cold dish departnt of a four-star hotel. It was pretty easy for him to do such work.
Noonti on Tuesday was usually not busy, therefore he went out of the hotel unhurriedly. Dressed in a casual suit, he directly headed for Taoxi Road.
Frankly speaking, Li Fang indeed had a good-looking face. He was 175cm tall and had an average weight, appearing rather clean and neat. The only problem was that he was an absolute chauvinist.
Having had slight contact with him, Zhou Jia couldn’t bear him at all. He was a conceited man and always acted his own way. Even before Zhou Jia agreed him to be his girlfriend, he requested that she move to his house and live together.
The excuse was fairly funny. He said she could save the rent that way. Besides, he didn’t pay much respect to Zhou Jia and believed his feelings toward her was noble. That made Zhou Jia quite puzzled. She had never encountered such a man as him.
"Taoxi Road Stop. Here I am." Li Fang got off the bus unhurriedly and checked the address on his phone carefully.
After that, he walked toward the side street.
"This woman didn’t even tell the exact address but only told it was the one with most custors. Was she expecting him to count the people in every restaurant one by one?" Li Fang was much discontented while reading the ssage.
In his opinion, however many custors there were, the restaurant couldn’t match with his hotel. All these tiny restaurants were easily filled up with only three or five people. There was no one that had many custors.
The next mont, however, he was slapped on the face. He appeared as if he had heard the sound of slapping "Pa Pa".
The long line of dozens of people in front of him was so obvious. They were indeed not less.
"Is it this one?" Li Fang didn’t believe that. He went up and took a look.
As was expected, he saw Zhou Jia greeting the custors enthusiastically inside. Just when he wanted to cut the line, he was stopped.
"Hey, young man. You are new, right? Go to wait in the line." It was the tall and slim man who stopped him.
"I don’t think such a tiny restaurant deserves waiting in line." Li Fang seed to be fairly unwilling to obey.
"If you don’t wait in sequence, then you leave," the tall and slim man also said flatly.
He stood there and got stunned for an instant. Looking at Zhou Jia and then at the long line, Li Fang took a deep breath and then went to the end of the line.
The tall and slim man nevertheless continued patrolling around and warned those who didn’t line up like that.
"A tiny restaurant surprisingly has so many custors!" Li Fang murmured discontentedly.
When he saw people co out from the restaurant soon, however, his confidence then resud. The dishes definitely tasted bad, otherwise they wouldn’t co out so quickly. After all, it took one or two hours to have a al in his hotel frequently. But here in this restaurant, custors went inside and ca out within only ten minutes.
