Chapter 816

The onlookers that gathered outside waited for a while but gradually left when they found the restaurant wasn’t going to be open soon .

At the same time, Yuan Zhou sat upstairs for a whole afternoon . With his back upright and his arms placed on his legs, he didn’t even change his position .

“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling” . Suddenly, a grating ringtone sounded in the empty and quiet room .

Yuan Zhou blinked and looked at his own vibrating phone with puzzlement .

“Time to prepare the ingredients for dinner,” Yuan Zhou suddenly muttered to himself .

That’s right . Yuan Zhou set the alarm clock for dinnertime in case he forgot the time while sculpting .

Yuan Zhou stood up neatly and then walked into the kitchen quickly . He began to prepare the ingredients seriously .

Five minutes before the business commenced, Yuan Zhou opened the door . The customers waiting in line outside were still as many as always . And Zhou Jia was also standing and waiting for him at the door .

“Good evening, Boss Yuan . ” Zhou Jia greeted smilingly .

Without saying anything, Yuan Zhou just nodded his head and went back to the kitchen .

The restaurant was fairly boisterous during dinner . The customers were ordering their dishes respectively while Zhou Jia was also very busy .

However, the dinner hadn’t lasted long when somebody noticed something wrong . He looked around and then looked at Yuan Zhou .

He knocked the neighboring customer with his elbow and then said, “What’s wrong with Boss Yuan today? He feels strange . ”

“I don’t see anything wrong . He is always like this and his dishes are still super delicious . ” While speaking, the person picked some dishes from the other person’s bowl without leaving a trace, quickly and naturally .

“The dishes are obviously as delicious as before . I’m talking about some other aspects . I feel that Boss Yuan does not seem to be spirited,” the person gave a contemptuous look at the other person and continued saying .

“Yeah, I also feel Boss Yuan is not normal today . ” Man Man also nodded her head approvingly at the side .

“You also agree with me, right? I can tell that . ” Since a beautiful girl agreed with him, this person began to analyze more seriously at once .

“Even if Boss Yuan didn’t speak much before, he would usually look at us or greet us proactively whenever he carried the dishes to us . But today, he did nothing and his expression seem pretty bad and extremely solemn,” this person analyzed, pretending to be serious .

“How can you tell Boss Yuan’s expression when he is wearing a face mask?” His colleague at the side revealed a look of surprise .

“That is unimportant . You paid attention to the wrong point . ” The person reminded his colleague coldly .

“I think that makes a lot of sense . There does seem to be something wrong with Boss Yuan,” another customer also agreed with him .

“Exactly . I feel the same . ”

“After being reminded by you guys, I also feel he looks strange today . ”

“Boss Yuan, are you all right?” Ling Hong used the simplest and most straightforward way at the side . He directly asked Yuan Zhou .

Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him immediately . He stared at the spatula in his hand seriously . Not until the food was served and placed on the tray did he say, “I’m good . ”

“Well, though it feels a little weird, he should be alright . ” Ling Hong concluded .

“Good . ” On hearing Yuan Zhou’s answer, other customers also got relieved .

Judging from his appearance, Yuan Zhou didn’t seem to be alright . But since he himself said he was fine, he was definitely reluctant to tell others .

Therefore, the customers didn’t ask him anymore out of consideration .

Yuan Zhou remained the same and that kind of atmosphere lasted to the end of the pub time .

Shen Min started to tidy the pub up . It was the third day since the pub began to supply beer, but the interest of the drunkards hadn’t lessened at all . Compared with a small pot of Bamboo Liquor, five mugs of beer were quite a lot .

However, that also resulted in an increase of Shen Min’s workload . Compared with the time when there was only Bamboo Liquor, her work became much more complicated .

Even so, Shen Min didn’t have any complaints in her heart . Compared with the work of a waitress in other restaurants, the work Shen Min had to do was vastly different . The difference was as large as the distance between heaven and earth, even though she had to work the night shift in a pub .

Leaving other things aside, the drunkards who came to drink liquor at night basically provided everything for themselves . They even brought dishes that went with wine by themselves . Well, actually, it was because Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t serve these things .

In most cases, the drunkards didn’t bother Shen Min at all during the entire pub time . She not only had a small workload, but also got a higher salary compared to other waitresses .

Therefore, Shen Min had actually felt a little ashamed of such good treatment all along . Since the workload was increasing now, she contrarily felt more comfortable .

That was really a childish thought and that also might be the difference between good people and bad guys . For ordinary people, they would feel uncomfortable when they got more than they deserved . For bad guys, however, they still wanted more even if they got more than they deserved .

When she finished all the work half an hour later, Shen Min came across Chen Wei at the door .

“Did you see …?”

Before Chen Wei finished his words, Shen Min took out a phone from her pocket and said, “See your phone?”

“Yes, right . Thank you . ” Chen Wei felt relieved . He had almost got home by taxi when he suddenly found his phone wasn’t in his pocket . Therefore, he had no choice but to return .

Shen Min waved her hand and indicated it wasn’t worth mentioning . Generally speaking, Shen Min was responsible for keeping things lost in the pub .

On one hand, Yuan Zhou felt it was troublesome to keep it by himself; on the other hand, there was an issue before . Shen Min had picked up an earring of Jiang Changxi, which even Jiang Changxi herself had believed to be lost in the company, . Nevertheless, Shen Min picked it up at the door of the restaurant .

Jiang Changxi didn’t turn up for several days after that, thus Shen Min directly sent it to her company . It wasn’t clear how much the earring was worth, but anyway, it wasn’t cheap . Therefore, Yuan Zhou trusted Shen Min a lot .

“Let’s go and take a taxi together . I will give you a ride,” said Chen Wei .

“Thank you, Brother Chen . ” Shen Min thanked him . The reason why Shen Min agreed so readily was that they were going in the same direction and Chen Wei would go further thus could give Shen Min a ride conveniently .

“It’s me who should say thanks,” said Chen Wei .

They talked and laughed . Though it was fairly late, there were still lots of taxis . Therefore, they caught a taxi very soon .

As soon as Chen Wei got seated in the passenger seat, he began to speak on his phone, arranging his schedule for tomorrow . No wonder he came back so quickly to look for his phone . He had a lot of things to do .

“Brother Chen, you are so busy every day . Your phone has always been ringing . ” Shen Min asked at an appropriate time .

“Of course I must work hard . Otherwise, I cannot afford Boss Yuan’s liquor anymore . ” Chen Wei answered as if it were obvious, “not to mention that I must …”

“You must what?” Shen Min was quite curious about the words Chen Wei said halfway .

“Nothing . ” While saying that, Chen Wei answered another phone call . As the head of the Security Department, he had almost reached the ceiling in this field .

Therefore, he had been trying to look for a new way to earn more money in order to drink Yuan Zhou’s liquor as much as he liked and for some other reasons .

Let’s return to Yuan Zhou’s side . Yuan Zhou didn’t worry about Shen Min anymore since Chen Wei and Shen Min left together . Then, he turned around and went back into his restaurant .

Normally, Yuan Zhou was either practicing his culinary skills or reading books to enrich himself at this time of day . Looking at the boxing gloves, however, he had no interest in doing any of these things tonight .

Yuan Zhou had originally intended to find a place to hang the gloves, but after he stayed upstairs for two minutes, he came downstairs again . After that, he closed the door of the restaurant and went to the neighboring pub through the door of the sergestes wall landscape .

Shen Min had put everything away and turned off all the lights . After arriving there, Yuan Zhou turned on all the lights again .

Illumination could drive the darkness away .

Yuan Zhou took three mugs of beer and then went to the second floor . He then put the boxing gloves on the table .

“I suddenly want to drink some beer . ” Yuan Zhou was fairly calm today . Though the neighboring pub had been in business for long, he rarely came upstairs to drink anything .

The stone bench was a little cold . As Chen Wei and the other drunkards had left for quite a while, the after heat was also taken away by the cool wind .

The cool wind blew past the bamboo leaves and thus made a rustling noise . Along with the cold wind, Yuan Zhou drank up a mug of beer .

As he drank the beer too hurriedly and also he hadn’t drunk alcohol in a long time for fear of affecting his sense of taste, he choked a little bit while drinking . And as a result, Yuan Zhou spilled several drops of the beer on the table .

Yuan Zhou observed carefully and found the beer didn’t spill on the gloves . There were a total of six drops of beer and the number could possibly indicate good luck .

He continued drinking . This time, Yuan Zhou drank more slowly . He drank half a mug of beer at a time .

Having dishes or not actually made a great difference in the taste of beer . If there were no dishes that went with it, the beer would taste astringent even if it was the fresh beer provided by the system .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to cook anything right now . He was thinking of ordering some takeout from outside through his phone, but gave up the idea in the end .

Then, he continued drinking up the remaining half mug of beer .

“It’s a little cold . I guess I need to install an air-conditioner?” Yuan Zhou thought on a whim .

After drinking another half mug of beer, Yuan Zhou burped and let out a pungent smell of liquor .

“How stupid I am . There isn’t even a roof, how could I install the air-conditioner?” Yuan Zhou denied his own idea .

There was still one more mug . He continued drinking .
