Chapter 314: A Conflict That Started Without Any Declaration

Translator: Xiong Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

Although Niu Li agreed with Li Li's word, she still reminded dutifully, "Mr Li, Mr Yuan's culinary skills are truly perfect . It couldn't be better if he joined us and worked in our restaurant . "

"I know . That's why I invited him just now . " Li Li nodded his head .

"Do you think it possible for him to come and work for us now?" Niu Li asked cautiously .

"No, not until his restaurant is closed," looking at Yuan Zhou's back, Li Li said positively .

"We'll rely on you for that, Mr Li . " Niu Li sighed in her heart . The answer was just as expected . However, her words were still spoken to Li Li earnestly .

"Um . I will let him know opening a restaurant does not only require delicious dishes," Li Li said affirmatively .

"Of course . We adhere to the idea that the customers will feel at home in our restaurant," Niu Li said proudly .

"Don't forget our agreement . I'm leaving now . " Li Li turned the head and took a glance at Niu Li and then reminded .

"Sure . Don't worry, Mr Li, we'll keep an eye on the remaining stores," Niu Li agreed readily .

"Um . " Li Li nodded his head and directly left .

It seemed that Li Li didn't join their restaurants because of the high percentage of shares offered . He actually had other conditions .

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't care about that . He just felt he had come across two people that just came out from the jungle and thus didn't take it to heart .

Furthermore, he had also bumped into other matters at the moment, like the man in front of him .

Like any other successful person, he was dressed elegantly in an exquisite business suit and leather shoes . His hair was combed neatly and the leather shoes were glistening .

Standing in front of Yuan Zhou, this man well represented the three words of "Successful Business Man" .

However, Yuan Zhou was fairly confused at the moment .

If he had to describe it, it would be that he had met three weird people by now .

"Hello, Boss Yuan," the man said calmly with his mild voice . He looked like an easy-going person .

"Um . " Yuan Zhou wasn't interested in such a cordial greeting and thus just answered lightly .

"Boss Yuan, I have to bother you with something . " When the man said that, he was very modest .

"What's the matter?" On hearing that, Yuan Zhou asked while sitting in the seat .

Yes, after Yuan Zhou came back, he took a seat on the chair at the door and was prepared to sculpt .

Before he started, however, the man walked toward him .

"I want to treat others to lunch at noon today . Could you give us two seats together?" This person had been here once for Egg Fried Rice .

He felt the dishes here were truly delicious although they were also expensive . Due to the superb taste, the price was actually moderate, not too high and not too low . The simple environment was also suitable for the invitee's status, thus he wouldn't feel constrained .

"You have to wait in line by yourselves before that . There is a two-seat table . If you can get your turn, you can eat there . " Yuan Zhou pointed at the two-seat table in the restaurant and said lightly .

"Can I make a reservation in advance?" the man asked again .

"No reservation, no takeout, no cutting in line and no waste . " Yuan Zhou brought out quite a few NO's in one breath .

The man became speechless with all those NO's .

"More rules in Boss Yuan's restaurant now . Are there more dishes?" The man didn't really mind Yuan Zhou talking to him while seating, but just replied speechlessly .

"Of course, there are more dishes . " Yuan Zhou nevertheless nodded the head and answered him naturally .

"Even I can't make the reservation?" The man looked at the watch and asked . He still wanted to convince Yuan Zhou .

It made sense that he asked this way . His name was Li Cheng . Although he wasn't a star actor, he often appeared in the business newspaper . He was a very famous young entrepreneur .

He was only 25 this year and had earned hundreds of millions of assets . The most important was that he started the business from nothing .

He was born in an ordinary family and accomplished his current status with his wits and grasping opportunities .

A person like him would be offered with a compromise everywhere .

Li Cheng had only been here once and eaten Egg Fried Rice for lunch when Yuan Zhou just started his business .

At that time, there weren't many customers inside . Even the eight seats couldn't be occupied fully .

If not that the matter was very important to him this time, he wouldn't have remembered this place .

Thankfully, he had a good memory, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to find a clean and neat restaurant that served delicious and moderate-priced dishes, yet with only a few customers . Furthermore, it wouldn't make people feel stiff .

Especially since this matter was handled by Li Cheng himself . He was not the secretary and could only look for a right place in his memory . At last, he found Yuan Zhou's restaurant .

"No, you can't . " While Li Cheng was lost in a trance, Yuan Zhou directly refused .

"Can I book the entire place?" Li Cheng looked at the restaurant and then at Yuan Zhou .

"Do you think I'm short of money?" Even with Yuan Zhou's patience, he got annoyed after coming into contact with three strangers one after another .

"Then Boss Yuan, please give me the menu . " Li Cheng neither got angry nor asked again, even if he felt Yuan Zhou's business was really bad . Of course, it might be getting better now .

It was just because he made an awkward requirement; so, Li Cheng was very magnanimous .

"There's still half an hour left before business time starts . You can see the menu then . " Yuan Zhou refused him again .

"You really have a temper . " Li Cheng stroked his sleeves and then said calmly .

"See you at noon . " Having ignored Li Cheng, Yuan Zhou straightforwardly said goodbye to him and returned to his own restaurant .

Only then did Li Cheng calm down .

"As expected, I am nervous . What did I do just now? I was surprisingly so hot-headed," Li Cheng exhaled and then said dumbly .

During normal times, Li Cheng was patient, meticulous and calm like a middle-aged man . He was also like a dormant snake that was waiting to land a killing blow .

If not so, how could he create such a huge business?

With a frown, he took out the phone and started to make a call . Once it was connected, the phone was answered at the other end .

"President Li, what do you want me to arrange?" A competent male voice passed to him .

"Tell President Zhang to send the man here now . I'm waiting at No . 14 of Taoxi Road right now," Li Cheng said concisely .

"Alright . I will call him right away . " The man didn't ask much, but merely agreed immediately .

"Um . " Li Cheng hung off the phone .

Thinking that he was going to see the person soon, Li Cheng became nervous again .

Only after he wandered for two circles did he react and stand straight to wait .

It was just that Yuan Zhou lacked the inquisitiveness . If other people saw such a young business genius waiting for someone so anxiously, God knows how curious they would be . They might have already inquired .

Man Man who had arrived earlier today asked Yuan Zhou secretly .

"Hey, isn't that Li Cheng? Who do you think he's waiting? Look, he's surprisingly nervous . " Man Man asked with a low voice .

"I don't know . Do you know him?" Yuan Zhou first shook the head and then asked curiously .

"Boss Yuan, you really pay no attention to outside matters . He's a celebrity in the local area and a famous business talent who has started his giant business empire from nothing . Besides, he is the dream lover of many girls," Man Man said excitedly with an obvious expression of "I like him very much" on her face .

Yuan Zhou looked at him earnestly and then nodded the head, "Although he's a little inferior to me, he has done well . No wonder he is so popular . "

" . . . " Man Man got speechless .

"Business isn't open yet . Come later . " Regardless of Man Man's expression, Yuan Zhou pointed to the door and said coldly .

Of course, he wasn't saying that to get revenge on her for being despised . After all, Yuan Zhou always believed himself to be a man of noble character .
