Chapter 287

In a brand-new office, Lee Yanyi was sitting at the desk and writing a report seriously . At that time, a knock of “Dong Dong” came .

“Come in, please,” Lee Yanyi didn’t turn his head but just said straightforwardly .

“Professor, here is a document for you . ” Taking a document in the hand, Yan Jia walked into the office lightly .

“What document is it to have you send to me at this time of day?” Lee Yanyi raise the head .

“Have a look . ” Not saying much, Yan Jia directly handed the document to him .

“Oh?” Lee Yanyi took a look at Yan Jia, who seldom keep people guessing like right now . Then he got a little curious .

“Hua La”, he received the document, opened it and checked it straightway .

The title of the document was Recommendations of the Most Anticipated Tiny Restaurant . Under the title, the agreed result was Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, namely the Master Chef restaurant .

“It turns out to be this matter . ” Lee Yanyi took a glance at it and then took out his personal seal and stamped it on the document .

“Professor, you are not going to stop it?” Yan Jia was a little surprised .

“Why should I stop this matter?” There wasn’t any expression of puzzlement on the solemn and skinny face of Lee Yanyi .

“You don’t wish for that place to have too many people, do you?” Yan Jia asked directly .

“It will happen sooner or later . It’s just a little early,” Lee Yanyi said calmly .

“Ok . I’ll leave you to your work . ” Yan Jia paused a while . When he saw Lee Yanyi not intend to say anything, he uttered .

“Humm, take it . ” Lee Yanyi pointed to the document that he had just approved .

“Alright . ” Yan Jia nodded the head seriously and went out of the office .

“Peng” . Looking at the door shut, Yan Jia shrugged and indicated that he still couldn’t understand Lee Yanyi’s mind .

However, that wouldn’t affect Yan Jia’s working efficiency . Soon, the document was sent out to the proposer .

After that, the identity of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was finally confirmed . The title of Most Anticipated Tiny Restaurant anyhow corresponded to the taste of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant temporarily . Of course, Yuan Zhou likewise identified with this title after he constantly looked at the result displayed on the phone .

What he needed to do now was to wait for the gourmet map to be updated . Luckily, there was only several days left .

The whole morning passed very soon and then it came to the business time at noon . When Zhou Jia came to work, Yuan Zhou happened to be putting away his phone .

It was a quite rare matter .

“Hi, boss . ” With a manner of anxiety, Zhou Jia greeted courteously .

“Humm . ” Yuan Zhou nodded the head .

“Boss, I heard that somebody wants to purchase the stores nearby over here,” Zhou Jia suddenly said that .

“Pardon?” Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled .

“I heard that somebody wants to come here and purchase the stores nearby including yours and then make it into a very large restaurant . Do you know that?” Zhou Jia asked carefully .

“No, I don’t,” Yuan Zhou said squarely .

“Aren’t you worried?” Zhou Jia appeared to be more anxious .

“The big boss is said to be very powerful . In that case, the government might approve his proposal . ” Zhou Jia majored in Economic Management and was very clear that there wasn’t comparability between a small restaurant and a large one .

“Really?” Yuan Zhou didn’t really know about that .

“In other words, the tax that you pay will never surpass that paid by the large restaurant . So . . . ” Zhou Jia said euphemistically .

“If so, we don’t need to worry about that now . ” Speaking of the tax, Yuan Zhou didn’t worry anymore .

“Why?” Zhou Jia was a little puzzled .

“You’ll know why when you stay longer,” Yuan Zhou said mysteriously .

“Oh . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou behave so affirmative, Zhou Jia had only to nod the head . Meanwhile, the anxiety in her heart diminished .

Zhou Jia hadn’t stayed here for long and had barely worked for one month in total, if including Yuan Zhou’s rest time . It was normal that she didn’t know that, but later she would understand it .

As for the tax, Yuan Zhou had a say in that . The rising amount of tax month by month could add no more heartache to Yuan Zhou . Regarding the amount of tax of a large restaurant, Yuan Zhou didn’t actually think it would surpass what was paid by him, let alone that it was still increasing now .

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t worry about that at all .

“Go tidy up the restaurant . ” Yuan Zhou pointed to the interior of the restaurant and said .

“Alright . ” Zhou Jia looked at Yuan Zhou again and found he truly wasn’t worried at all . Then, she went to work securely .

“Boss Yuan, we are coming . ” The loud voice of Wu Zhou arrive ahead of him .

“I’m the first,” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said coldly at the side .

“Didn’t you eat the dishes yesterday? Why are you still so bad-tempered?” Wu Zhou was startled by the indifferent expression on Wu Hai’s face .

“It’s none of your business . ” Wu Hai appeared to be quite unhappy .

“Were you beaten by your sister?” Wu Zhou was always unafraid to be beaten . Even Zhao Yingjun couldn’t stop him from saying that . Wang Nan, who stood at the side and appeared to be anxious, likewise had only to worry in vain .

“You know too much . ” Wu Hai looked at Wu Zhou with cold eyes, which resembled Wu Lin’s murderous look .

“Err . . . well, I will stop . ” Wu Zhou had an intuition of animals, the so-called the seventh sense of man, thus shut up immediately .

“Let’s eat . Didn’t you say you would treat? Let’s go . ” At that time, Zhao Yingjun went up and said in time .

“Yeah, right . Wang Nan, the Egg Fried Rice served here tastes great . Let’s order this dish . ” Wu Zhou said affirmatively .

“Ok . Egg Fried Rice, please . Thank you,” Wang Nan said with a slight embarrassment .

“Never mind . You’ll know the taste after you eat it . It well deserves the price . ” Zhao Yingjun also tilted his head and said to him .

“Humm . ” Wang Nan nodded the head .

Wu Hai still kept silent with his long face and Wang Nan had nothing in common to talk with Wu Zhou and Zhao Yingjun . The curved long table was then lost in silence .

Until Zhou Jia came to take orders, “What do you want to eat today, everybody?”

“Three servings of Egg Fried Rice . ” Wu Zhou said quickly and meanwhile stopped Zhao Yingjun who wanted to say something .

“Alright, one moment, please . What about you?” Zhou Jia asked Wu Hai .

“Dongpo Pig Knuckle, Translucent Beef Slices, Steamed Tofu with Minced Pork and Silk Twined Rabbit . ” Wu Hai ordered the dishes one by one .

“Ok . Please wait a moment, please . ” Zhou Jia turned around and prepared to walk away .

“That prawn is still alive?” With his sharp eyes, Wu Hai caught sight of the prawn that had been kept among the sergestes .

“Yes, it’s alive and kicking . ” Zhou Jia answered earnestly .

“One prawn could live so well . ” Looking at the prawns that had just leaped up and the surrounding pink sergestes, Wu Hai said with a manner of dislike .

Zhou Jia nodded the head smilingly and then turned around to tell Yuan Zhou the dishes .

As a person who felt uncomfortable if he had nothing to do, Wu Zhou began to talk .

“Look at the people outside . Wasn’t I right by saying to come earlier?” Wu Zhou pointed at the crowd lining up outside and said proudly .

“Humm . Why can’t we order the take-out?” Having always lowered his head since entering the restaurant, Wang Nan was a little puzzled .

“You’ll know why after you come twice more . The dishes here are all delicious, but much too expensive . Apart from that, the boss has lots of rules . ” Although Zhao Yingjun talked in a manner of dislike, his tone was full of satisfaction .

“Humm . ” With a nod, Wang Nan indicated that he was clear now . He was still slightly suspicious, but didn’t ask anymore .

“Egg Fried Rice for you three . ” While they were talking, Zhou Jia carried the dishes to them .

“Hurry up to eat it . It’s finally served . ” Wu Zhou picked up the spoon immediately and began to eat excitedly .

Beside him, Zhao Yingjun also started to eat straightforwardly as if he could wait no more for even a single minute . Wang Nan paused a little while and followed suit .

As soon as he swallowed up the mouthful of the rice, Wang Nan got stunned . Then he continued to eat it one spoonful after another quickly .

Although he ate after the other two persons, he finished the first . Then he took the spoon and stared blankly at the empty plate . Just in a little while, he surprisingly wept .

“Hey, you brat . Even if it’s delicious, you don’t need to cry . ” When Wu Hai saw that, he frowned and looked at Wang Nan, with an obscure expression .

“Are you talking to me?” Wang Nan wiped his face dry and asked .

“You can even cry because of a serving of Egg Fried Rice . Who else can it be?” Wu Hai answered with a manner of contempt .

Having barely finished the meal and got no time to savor the aftertaste, Wu Zhou and Zhao Yingjun both looked at Wang Nan with suspicion .

Yuan Zhou’s dishes were top-notch delicacies recognized by all . But it might only exist in the movie and TV drama that one could cry because he had eaten the delicious foods . Therefore, Wu Hai was quite curious .

“Sorry . It’s the first time I came to this city and this restaurant . I wasn’t really accustomed to the surroundings . ” Wang Nan set down the spoon and explained .

“Main point, please . This explanation has nothing to do with you crying . ” Wu Hai was rather impatient . He didn’t want to hear only the complaints .

“I wasn’t crying for the wonderful taste . . . It’s just that I feel so good to be able to eat tasty stuff in a new and strange city . The food enriches my stomach as if it enriches my whole body . It’s really an excellent feeling . Thank you so much . “

The passage wasn’t uttered fluently . Apparently, Wang Nan was a little emotional, but he rarely smiled . In the end, he didn’t know how to describe it anymore, hence just thanked them .

“A weird person . ” Looking at the smiling face in the tears of Wang Nan, Wu Hai said inexplicably .

Most of the time, it was neither the GDP nor the cultural atmosphere that made people identify with the city .

It might be a small stall at the wayside where he could eat a not-so-expensive beef noodles .

It also might be a Huangjiao Tree at the road side, or else, a dim street lamp in an alley . . .
