Chapter 92: Carved Dishes

“Please take your time and savour the dishes.” Yuan Zhou said quite calmly, not swayed by the man.

The man didn’t pay much attention on Yuan Zhou’s words. Without noticing anything else, he simply began to eat, but with only a bite for each dish.

A dozen delicate dishes. The man only gave each one a single simple bite, even though the blissful expression on his face was clearly seen by others.

He set down the chopsticks and gently opened his mouth, “Indeed, these dishes deserve to be called superb delicacies.”

“Thanks for you praising.” Yuan Zhou stayed calmly, with a quite indifferent manner.

“Please provide me with another serving of each dish. I will take them with me.” the suited man would never touch the dishes that he had reviewed again, even if they were much too delicious and to his utmost satisfaction.

However, the man spoke a little faster this time compared to just before.

“I’m sorry, I don’t provide take-out.” Yuan Zhou refused squarely.

“You don’t have any containers? I can provide them.” the man said with a relaxed manner while looking at Yuan Zhou.

“I don’t provide take-out.” Yuan Zhou directly repeated his words and then spoke nothing more.

“Then let’s do this. You serve another serving of the dishes, all of them.” thinking for a while, the man’s tone wasn’t as tough as just now.

“Please, check behind you.” this time, Yuan Zhou matter-of-factly pointed to the wall and then said.

The man had known that Yuan Zhou had lots of rules. As for what exactly they were, he didn’t have any interest in learning them. Though there were many things that money couldn’t buy in this world, there nevertheless wasn’t too many.

“No need. Rules are set by humans, and the rules here are set by you alone. I would like to offer three times the price.” the man likewise refused pointedly and then told him the money he could offer.

In the world, businesses were all like that, with one offering and the other bargaining.

“May I ask if you are going to continue to eat them or not? The store hours are almost over.” Yuan Zhou ignored the man straightforward. He just looked at all the slightly eaten dishes and asked.

“I won’t eat them anymore.” the man was rather honest and frank, hence plainly said.

“Perfect. I hereby inform you that you have been blacklisted from my restaurant. Further visits are no longer welcomed.” Yuan Zhou declared solemnly.

“Boss, are you serious?” although carrying a proud expression, the man revealed some incredulity in his voice.

“I’m sorry. The business hours are up now. Watch your step.” Yuan Zhou said politely, not intending to speak more at all.

To the kind of person who postured and wasted food, Yuan Zhou showed no friendship.

“I was introduced here by Ling Hong. I am his business partner.” lost in silence for a second, the man then said.

“Ok. Watch your step.” Yuan Zhou nodded, indicating he had known that. Of course, he still needed to see this customer off.

“Good. Boss, you are truly a person of principles. No wonder they all call you Compass.” the man didn’t begin to curse. His cultured background wouldn’t allow him to do that. He simply decided he didn’t want to come to this restaurant again.

Yuan Zhou didn’t answer and still showed a solemn look, preparing to see him off.

Having picked up the briefcase from beside his leg, the man turned around and left the restaurant in big strides, with his breath becoming faster and a discontented expression growing on his face.

The man opened the door of his car heavily and fumbled out his cellphone to call Ling Hong upon sitting in the driver’s seat. Shortly, the call connected. It was noisy at the other end of the call. Ling Hong seemed to be in a rowdy place.

After several seconds of silence, the man talked, “I just came out from the restaurant and I was blacklisted.”

“Huh, what did you do?” Ling Hong had to shout loudly in order to be heard.

“Nothing special. I just did what I usually did.” there was great discontent present in the man’s tone.
