Chapter 119 (2/2)

The three of them talked about the business while drinking the watermelon juice. It had basically been decided that Boss Guan was prepared to invest and the only concern was the funds to be transferred.

Before they left, Boss Guan specifically summoned Yuan Zhou.

“Boss Yuan, you are so young yet have such marvelous culinary skills. That’s really admirable,” Boss Guan first complimented him.

“Thank you.” Yuan Zhou received the compliment with a nod.

“I don’t know if the restaurant belongs to you, or…..” Then, he began to ask the most important thing.

“Yes, it’s mine.” Yuan Zhou had already guessed the boss’s true meaning but didn’t intend to take the initiative to refuse him; after all, the boss hadn’t said anything special.

“Could I have your phone number?” How could the wise Boss Guan immediately reveal his purpose?

“Sorry, I can’t. Take care,” Yuan Zhou refused him indifferently. What a joke! The customers here had already perked up their ears, listening to their talk. If he accepted his invitation, then he wouldn’t have a moment of peace later.

“No problem. Then we won’t disturb you doing business. I will contact you tonight,” As a first generation that had created the giant business from nothing, Boss Guan had some true capabilities.

Yuan Zhou neither rushed to agree nor deny the offer. His phone number was not really a celebrity’s phone number.

Having finished speaking, Boss Guan, Director Qi, and Shuxiao went out of the restaurant together. After all, customers were increasing and the business they came to discuss also came to an end. It was better to give the seats to others in need.

As usual, Yuan Zhou shut the restaurant at the agreed hour in the evening and the customers inside had already gotten used to the schedule.

“System, are there any new missions recently?” thinking how silent the system was recently, Yuan Zhou asked.

What followed was a long silence. To Yuan Zhou’s questions, the system never reacted unless absolutely necessary.

“Ding Ling Ling,” the outdated ringtone from his phone rang. Yuan Zhou took out the phone and looked in surprise at the phone number, with the last three numbers of 668, before answering it when the ringtone rang again.

“Hello?”

“Master Yuan, this is Guan Peng, the customer that had dinner at your restaurant tonight.” At the other end of the phone, Boss Guan directly gave his name with a polite tone.

“Hello.” Yuan Zhou’s courtesy was faultless but his tone was as indifferent as ever.

“Sorry for disturbing you at this time of day but I wanted to say something with you,” not preparing to make small talk, Boss Guan directly said, straightforwardly and frankly.

At this time, Boss Guan had already gained almost all the fundamental information related to Yuan Zhou; therefore he revealed much confidence in his voice.

“Ok, go ahead,” placing the phone between his shoulder and ear, Yuan Zhou carried up a bowl of the broth with his hands and prepared to feed the Maltese.

“Master Yuan, do you have the interest in taking control of the kitchen in a 5-star hotel?” The information obtained by Boss Guan showed that the hotel where Yuan Zhou had once worked was merely a 3-star hotel. For a 5-star hotel, he would be definitely interested.

“Nope,” Yuan Zhou refused without further ado while opening the back door and walking out.

“Master Yuan doesn’t seem to get my meaning. I mean you work as a head chef and take control of the kitchen of a 5-star hotel,” Boss Guan said unhurriedly.

“I have told you that I’m not interested,” Yuan Zhou didn’t actually feel impatient; he merely repeated what he had said.

“Forgive my frankness, please. But I want to invite you to be the boss of this hotel…” Boss Guan continued to offer more attractive bait.
