Chapter 1697

“No, I can’t think that way. After all, the old lady is a patient. It’s definitely not my fault.” Yuan Zhou patted his chest to comfort himself.

“I’m so pitiful, I should have told Xiaoya. ” Yuan Zhou stroked his lower jaw and thought that way.

After all, a book he had read a few days ago described the relationship between a man and a woman in this way. It said that an appropriate act of pity could increase the motherly nature of one’s girlfriend, and thus increase the harmony between the two.

“Yeah, I’m pretty miserable right now.” Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou prepared to make a phone call.

However, before Yuan Zhou could take any action, another two people entered the restaurant. This time, it was an old couple. Their clothes could only be described as plain.

The two of them walked into the shop, and the old lady with white hair spoke first.””Excuse me, little brother, when do you open?”

In fact, before the old lady spoke, Yuan Zhou was startled and almost had a bad feeling. After all, an old lady had just spoken about his child going to university. Fortunately, this form of address was quite normal. Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

“The business hours are written here. You can take a look.” Yuan Zhou handed out a menu and said naturally.

“Many thanks, little brother.” The old lady hurriedly took it.

On the front page of the menu was the name of Master chef Restaurant, the opening hours, the dishes, the prices, and so on.

It was much clearer than Yuan Zhou’s oral explanation. That was also the reason why Yuan Zhou directly passed the menu to him.

The old lady and her husband read through it seriously. They would even discuss it in a low voice from time to time.

Yuan Zhou didn’t listen to that on purpose. Instead, he was seriously playing out the cooking skills in his mind.

About five minutes later, the two of them finished their discussion and closed the menu. Then, the old lady spoke again,””Young man, can we ask if there’s a minimum expenditure in your shop?”

“I’m sorry, this question is a little presumptuous, but we want to come to the restaurant to have a meal. It’s not a lot of money. We also know that this restaurant is famous and the food is delicious, so we just wanted to ask. ” The old lady didn’t wait for Yuan Zhou’s answer and directly explained.

“No, you two only need to line up according to the rules on the menu. There are no other rules.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“That’s good. Thank you, brother. ” The old lady thanked him profusely.

“You’re welcome,” Yuan Zhou shook his head.

“Old man, let’s go. We’ll come back when it’s time for dinner.” The old lady held her husband’s hand and said softly.

However, when he turned around, he didn’t forget to say goodbye to Yuan Zhou. His attitude was still polite and gentle.

“There will be a lot of people here at noon. If you really want to come and eat, you have to come earlier to line up so that you can enter the restaurant earlier to have lunch.” Yuan Zhou reminded him.

“Yes, we know that. Thank you for the reminder.” The old lady nodded with a smile, then walked out of the door with her husband.

As soon as they left the restaurant, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief, because he had been very worried that this old lady would also start to ask him about his child.

It couldn’t be helped that the blow just now was too deep. It came from the soul.

“Ding-Ling” His phone vibrated. Yuan Zhou lowered his head and took a look. It was a message from a ‘lang to thank him and to tell him that he was safe.

The gist of it was that he thanked Yuan Zhou for keeping his mother and calling him. They had already arrived home safely.

“It’s good that we’re here. ” After Yuan Zhou gave a short reply, he prepared to call Yin ya.

However, before Yuan Zhou could dial the number, the phone rang.

“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling”, it was still the usual dull and simple ringtone. Before the ringtone stopped, Yuan Zhou directly picked up the phone.

“Little ya.” Yuan Zhou said.

That’s right. It was Yin ya who called him. It was quite a coincidence.

“Mu Mu, you picked up the phone so quickly today.” Yin ya’s cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Of course, because I’m also thinking about you. This is what it means to have telepathy.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, I knew wood is the best.” Yin ya said.

“Are you very happy today?” Yuan Zhou asked.

After all, Yin ya was usually very refined and gentle. It was rare for her to be so happy. Therefore, Yuan Zhou asked her out of curiosity.

“Yes, yes, I’m very, very happy. Blockhead, let’s go on a date tonight.” Even though she knew Yuan Zhou couldn’t see her, Yin ya still nodded her head repeatedly and said happily.

“Alright, where do you want to go? I’ll take the day off to keep you company tonight. ” Yuan Zhou answered gently.

“You don’t have to take leave. We can just go to the place that opens at night. I don’t want you to take leave for me. You don’t have to.” Yin ya said hurriedly.

“It’s fine. I want to rest occasionally. ” Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then said,”I don’t think the customers will mind. I only take a break during dinner time. I’m still open for business during lunch.”

When Yuan Zhou spoke, he felt lucky that there was no one in the restaurant. Otherwise, the customers might beat him to death. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou still remembered that the old couple, ah lang and his son were going to come for lunch.

There was a literary giant who once said when he was single,”love is two people being together and doing some boring things over and over again. And these boring things are the most enjoyable.”

Sure enough, literary giants were more creative when they were single, because when they were in love, their brains were used to think of sweet words.

“It’s fine, I’m coming for dinner tonight. ” Yin ya still didn’t agree.

Yin ya knew that Yuan Zhou rarely, or rather, he would never ask for leave suddenly unless it was an emergency.

As she felt that this matter was not urgent, she naturally wouldn’t ask Yuan Zhou to ask for leave for her.

“Blockhead, blockhead, do you know why I’m so happy today?” In order to prevent Yuan Zhou from asking for leave again, Yin ya took the initiative to mention it.

“Why?” Yuan Zhou asked accordingly.

“I’ve already confirmed that I’ll be the Deputy CEO. Although it was confirmed before, it was officially announced to the whole company at the meeting just now.” Yin ya’s joy overflowed from the phone and Yuan Zhou could also feel that happiness.

“It means that you’re really amazing, little ya. The hard work you’ve put in has yielded very good results. This is all because of your hard work, little ya.” Yuan Zhou said little by little earnestly.

“Yes, yes. I’ll officially take over at the end of the year. The current Deputy CEO is already in a semi-retirement state.” Yin ya said happily.

“Then, little ya, you have to work hard and do a good job at this handover.” Yuan Zhou encouraged him.

“I will. I’ve been in contact with them for a long time. It’s just that I’m officially appointed this time, so I’m especially happy.” Yin ya said.

“Then, Xiao Ya, do you want to celebrate?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“Eh, that’s a good idea. I want to celebrate a little and invite a few friends for a meal.” Yin ya nodded her head and said.

“I’ll help you prepare it. It just so happens that I’ve been thinking of holding a flower banquet recently. What do you think?” Yuan Zhou said.

“A flower banquet? It sounds delicious. ” Yin ya felt both warm and happy in her heart.

“It’s definitely delicious. ” Yuan Zhou said confidently.

“Then I’ll leave it to you, blockhead. Thank you, blockhead.” Yin ya said with a soft and slow voice as if she was acting coquettishly.

“No problem. Let me know when you’ve decided on the time and number of people. I’ll prepare the rest.” Yuan Zhou said.

“No problem, I’ll go tell my friends the good news now.” Yin ya said.

“Go on, go on. Remember to come for dinner tonight.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he didn’t put down the phone until Yin ya hung up. He had to help with the matter of his girlfriend.
