Chapter 624
Time passed quickly . Soon, the scheduled date of the meeting arrived .
In the evening, lots of customers behind and filled the restaurant, leaving not a vacant seat .
“Huh . Since the liquor isn’t available today, why are they so enthusiastic to eat the fruits?” As soon as Chen Wei entered the restaurant, he was startled .
After all, it was already 10:00 in the evening . Usually, there were only some drinkers at this time of day and the customers would have already returned home .
“Aren’t you early too?” Ling Hong glanced at Chen Wei and said .
“I thought Boss Yuan would be really busy, so I came early to help . ” Chen Wei patted his own head and said sincerely .
“Really? Why don’t you ask what are we here for?” Ling Hong said smilingly .
“For what? Are you also here to help him?” Chen Wei found a good place and stood still .
“Yeah, you are right . We all come here to offer help because we also fear that Boss Yuan is too busy to complete his work . ” With his girlfriend standing at the side, Wu Zhou nodded his head and confirmed Chen Wei’s guess .
Exactly . We are not picky at all . Just cut them open casually . ” A customer echoed at the side .
“I think so, too . Just lay them out randomly and we can take matters into our own hands as long as you provide a sufficient quantity . ” Another customer looked at Yuan Zhou with an expectant expression .
“Um, sure . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head in an unperturbed manner .
After all, it was the system that provided the fruits this time . Of course, there would be no shortage .
“That’s good . Boss Yuan, what should I do? Do you need me to lay the fruits out for you?” Ling Hong behaved as if he were really here to help .
“He’s right . I can help to move the tables and chairs . ” Chen Wei patted his sturdy chest .
“Exactly . We all came here in advance to help you . ” The customers at the side all nodded their head and chimed in one after another .
“No, no, no . Boss Yuan, I know you felt lonely so I come to chat with you . ” With a big smile on her face, Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou and said .

“Thank you, but I can manage it myself . Please wait for a while and participate in the activity directly . ” Yuan Zhou ignored Jiang Changxi’s words straightforwardly and answered the other people .
“Are you sure? My girlfriend, Mu Mu, is really good at doing the household chores . ” Wu Zhou revealed a proud look and said .
“No need . ” Yuan Zhou refused cleanly .
“It’s merely a tasting of fruits . Why do I have to see others flaunt their relationship?” Yuan Zhou complained in his heart expressionlessly .
Obviously, it wasn’t only Yuan Zhou that thought so . Other customers also had the same feeling .
“Hey, Wu Zhou . We are here to eat Boss Yuan’s fruits, not to see you flaunt your relationship here . ” Ling Hong glared at Wu Zhou straightforwardly .
“No, not really . I’m telling the truth . Aren’t I right, Mu Mu?” Wu Zhou said to Zhuang Xinmu beside him with a flattering tone .
“Stop it, okay? I still have to leave my stomach empty for the fruits . ” A customer said that with an embarrassed expression .
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou opened the door of the ornamental sergestes wall landscape straightforwardly and went to the courtyard of the pub . It was better to work seriously in case Wu Zhou flaunted his relationship in his face again .
In the courtyard, the part-time worker, Zhou Sheng, was doing his work .
The tasting of fruits was arranged by Yuan Zhou like a buffet dinner . There were two long tables in the courtyard right now and there was nothing on them . However, later, it would be full of various fruits .
Nevertheless, Zhou Sheng was still making the decorative vines and binding them on the tables and chairs .
“Hello, Boss Yuan . ” Seeing Yuan Zhou walking towards him, Zhou Sheng greeted him with a smile, revealing his white teeth .
“Um . You are quite fast . ” Yuan Zhou looked at the decorations at the side and was quite satisfied .
“Of course . I’m professional in doing odds and ends . ” Zhou Sheng nodded his head and accepted the compliment naturally .
“After the tasting meeting commences later, you don’t need to do anything . Just go and eat some . ” Yuan Zhou looked around at the layout and suddenly said that .
“Well, okay . Thank you . ” Zhou Sheng expressed his gratitude courteously on the surface, but in the heart, he was actually a little disappointed .

That’s right . He came to work with the hope that he could eat the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou personally .
Usually, many restaurants provided part-time workers with a meal during working hours, not to mention it was so late now . Therefore, it stood to reason for Yuan Zhou to provide a late night snack . And that was also what Zhou Sheng had always been expecting inwardly .
But now, he was only to be served with some fruits . Naturally, Zhou Sheng got slightly frustrated . The fruits weren’t as attractive as Boss Yuan’s dishes .
“You are welcome . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then went to the first floor of the pub to prepare the fruits .
The fruits provided by the system this time were all on the first floor of the pub . It might be because the amount was large .
Anyway, Yuan Zhou thought that was the reason . The system, however, didn’t answer Yuan Zhou’s question at all .
Therefore, Yuan Zhou took a knife with him when he went downstairs to the first floor .
The first floor of the pub was originally filled with wine jars . Now, there were a few more cabinets around the place .
These cabinets were as same as those in the kitchen, but these were a little more old-fashioned and a bit more plain . Furthermore, the doors were brownish red .
Every door was marked with the name of each kind of fruit .
“How rare for the system to be so generous . ” Yuan Zhou looked at these cabinets and sighed with emotion .
“Hua La” . Yuan Zhou opened a cabinet marked with crisp melon first .
“Isn’t this watermelon? Kou Kou Cui? But it looks to be smaller than the watermelon . ” After Yuan Zhou observed it carefully, he came to a conclusion .
“It is rare for the system not request any payment . I’m going to give it a try too . ” With a smile on his face, Yuan Zhou took up the knife and started to peel the crisp melon .
That’s right . The crisp melon must be peeled like the apples rather than being cut .
In just a little while, an oval crisp melon that was totally peeled appeared in Yuan Zhou’s hand .
“It looks no different from a watermelon . ” Having looked at it carefully, Yuan Zhou felt they almost looked the same .
The watermelon in his hand also had red pulp and the juice looked quite appetizing .
“Awoo . ” Yuan Zhou bit it directly and prepared to try if there was any difference .
Just as Yuan Zhou was tasting it and comparing it, the system suddenly appeared .
The system displayed, “Host, you just ate a crisp melon . The price is 500 . “
“Ahem, ahem, ahem . What did you say?” Yuan Zhou almost choked upon hearing that .
The system displayed, “Host, you ate a crisp melon ahead of time . The price is 500 . “
“500 IDR?” Yuan Zhou looked at the melon rind left on the ground and asked calmly .
The system displayed, “This system receives RMB only . “
“Ho Ho . You wanna charge me 500RMB for a palm-sized watermelon? If I sell it to others at the price of 500 RMB, they will probably curse me to death . ” Yuan Zhou tried to reason with the system .
After all, he was a renowned businessman of decent conscience who always sold cheap dishes . He could never allow the unscrupulous system to ruin his reputation .
The system displayed, “The crisp melon isn’t provided to you, so you must pay for the expense as an early adopter since you are eating it ahead of time . “
“The expense as an early adopter? How much is the crisp melon originally?” Yuan Zhou suddenly had a premonition .
The system displayed, “The expense as an early adopter is twice the price of the food itself . “
“I want to curse now, seriously . ” Yuan Zhou complained expressionlessly . He almost spat out what he had gulped down just now .
The system displayed, “Please refer to this price for other fruits . “
“Ho Ho . Why don’t you go and die?” Looking at the fruits that filled the cabinets, Yuan Zhou maintained a straight face and said .
The system displayed, “The money has been received . “
“As long as you are happy . ” Yuan Zhou said speechlessly .
While Yuan Zhou was happily chatting with the system about the expense, Lee Yanyi was also preparing to leave his home when he found that the scheduled time approaching .
That’s right . Now that he had received the invitation, he naturally would go . “
