Chapter 45 (2/2)
“No, no, boss. Don’t do this. With such delicious Egg Fried Rice in my stomach, how can I accept any other delicacies during this period?” Xiao Liu put on a long face, ignoring the fact that the person facing him was his superior.
“Yeah, boss, why don’t you talk to the boss and persuade him to offer us another serving for each? You seem rather familiar with him.” Ma Wei urged Wu Anlu hard.
Other colleagues were all looking at their boss expectantly as well.
Wu Anlu waved his hands and said, “It is too difficult. It would be easier to get another large order like today than request the boss to give us another serving for each.”
As the head of the department, when Wu Anlu frankly expressed his inability, the several people were all upset and disappointed. Then they heard Wu Hai, who had heard their conversation by chance, interrupt and say,
“You’d better look at the rules more carefully.”
Of course, Wu Hai was not so kindhearted to tell them the truth. There was a time when he too, suffered from being not able to eat his fill. Although he was emphatic to these people, he wouldn’t tell them directly the special method of ordering more dishes.
It was quite funny to watch other people break their heads over this matter.
“Rules?” Wu Anlu and his subordinates turned their heads back and looked at the price list on the wall.
“Boss Yuan, you added so many new dishes. Why didn’t you tell us just now?” Looking at the new dishes that he had never tasted on the wall, Wu Anlu shouted immediately.
Yuan Zhou, who was still cooking noodles in the kitchen, replied directly, “You didn’t ask.”
“Boss Yuan, your words really make a lot of f*ucking sense.” Even the good-tempered and well-paid sales manager couldn’t help swearing.
Yuan Zhou, nevertheless, turned a deaf ear to Wu Anlu’s curses.
To prevent himself from losing his temper, Wu Anlu started to study the rules written on the wall one by one, as if he were selecting a partner.
The several male colleagues first gave their opinions.
“Boss, fat people like us would definitely starve if the rules are made so.” While bringing up that topic, Xiao Liu was observing Yuan Zhou’s reaction. He hoped that his pitiful act would succeed.
“I only want to have another bowl of the Egg Fried Rice now, so I can’t figure out any good ideas at the moment,” Ma Wei said helplessly while looking at the rules and then at his boss.
The most handsome man in the team but also the one with the least presence said jokingly, “What about forcing the boss to serve us more?”
Watching them contemplating all sorts of solutions, Wu Hai felt really happy. Even he had to go through great difficulties to discover this special method to order more dishes in the restaurant. How could he just reveal it so easily? He was still waiting for these people to come and beg for his help.
The calmest lady in the team suddenly said, “Boss, look at this rule. It says ‘Each guest may only have one serving per meal for each dish’. However, there are quite a few dishes on the menu. We can try to order just the Egg Fried Rice dish. That way we won’t break any rules.”
The instant she said that, everyone around her realized the bug in the system. These people then shouted excitedly, “Boss Yuan, please give us with another six servings of Egg Fried Rice, not the set meal.”
After they shouted, they waited nervously for Yuan Zhou’s reply.
Then, Yuan Zhou turned his head, then responded naturally and lightly, “Hold on a moment.”
“We made it. It was surprisingly easy,” Ma Wei said proudly. He didn’t notice that the face of his manager was turning dark.
Wu Anlu was so embarrassed and tired of this guy who always shot his mouth off. If it was that easy, was the fact that he could never eat his fill here false? This guy was such an idiotic subordinate.”
However, the strict manager, Wu Anlu, felt proud for his other subordinate.
Yuan Zhou felt that the dishes in his restaurant all had very accurate names. For example, the Clear Broth Noodle Soup was really just clear broth and noodles, without even any chopped green onions.
He first set the two bowls of noodles on the tray, then took out a small plate with green vines patterns on the edge and scooped up some blueberry jam. As for how Wu Hai was prepared to eat the sweet jam with the salty noodles, it was not his problem. Yuan Zhou very irresponsibly had such thoughts.
For the very first time, the Clear Broth Noodle Soup appeared in front of everybody.
