Chapter 165 (2/2)

“Boss,” after that, he lowered his head down and continued doing his own things.

“You are the boss. That’s good. We are now preparing to record a program concerning a story about the Baked Egg Cakes in your restaurant. Certainly, you must cook it yourself,” the manner of speaking of Presenter Lu’s was neither arrogant nor imperious. It’s just quite natural.

It was indeed so. Even if his program was not popular, he was from the TV station. Who would decline the precious opportunity to make free publicity on TV? The advertisement campaign on TV was known to be charged on basis of seconds. It was definitely something to be sought just to make a separate edition of the program for one particular dish.

Even big chain hotels wouldn’t refuse the precious offer and would endeavor to cooperate with them, not to mention such a small restaurant of Yuan Zhou’s.

“I don’t have the intention to agree,” Yuan Zhou said bluntly, appearing to be not cooperative at all.

“Well, I haven’t made any self-introductions. We are the staff members of the program ‘Folk Talent’ from XX TV station. This is my employee’s card,” while speaking, Presenter Lu handed his employee’s card to Yuan Zhou.

“Thanks, but I refuse,” with a frown, Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to receive and check the card and instead, still refused flatly.

“I haven’t finished yet. This is a program recording of your restaurant, for free. We don’t charge anything,” Presenter Lu said with a proud expression on his face.

“I don’t think you guys understand what I mean. I mean, I refuse,” Yuan Zhou stood up and said seriously.

“Er….” however talkative he was, Presenter Lu choked.

They had never encountered such an embarrassing situation. Even those who didn’t believe in them at first would still cooperate with them happily after they told them it was for free and they checked their working permit. What was the matter with the boss? Presenter Lu frowned and didn’t really understand him.

“Presenter Lu, shall we take Plan B?” Realizing the embarrassing atmosphere, a staff member behind said in a low voice.

“What an eccentric person,” Presenter Lu was reluctant to admit failure and spitted out a word at last.

“Indeed. We are offering him free publicity but he still refused.” The staff members also had complaints. During normal times, all store owners spoke well of them and flattered them. No one was like this Boss Yuan, who didn’t respond to them at all.

“Stop it. Let’s take Plan B. Put everything away and leave now,” Presenter Lu straightforwardly interrupted the complaints from the staff members.

Dozens of people moved quickly in clearing up all the things. Just in a little while, they packed everything in the van and then left.

Yuan Zhou sat back down on his seat calmly and continued doing his own stuff. At that time, Boss Tong couldn’t help craning her neck and asking, “Yuan Zhou, are those people from TV station? Why did they come and go so quickly?”

“Humm, I don’t want to be recorded,” Yuan Zhou said disdainfully.

“Record what? Your restaurant or something else?” The skinny face of Boss Tong was filled with curiosity.

“Record my cooking process,” Yuan Zhou explained.

“That’s a good thing. Why do you refuse? That’s a free publicity. Many want it but are not able to get it.” Watching them disappear in her sight, Boss Tong heaved a sigh.

“They didn’t yet inform me beforehand and tried to record the program as soon as arrived. It’s not the right way,” Yuan Zhou brought out his reason.

“People from TV station always have some air of arrogance. So what? But you can get your own benefits from the program,” Boss Tong responded with sincere words and earnest wishes.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Tong. I just don’t want to spoil them. It doesn’t matter,” Yuan Zhou felt his heart warm towards Boss Tong’s kind heart.

“Yeah, that makes sense. Your good business also brought about more business to me. And your culinary skills are definitely top-grade,” when Boss Tong recalled of the long line of customers at the entrance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant every day, she then stopped persuading him and talked about something else with a smile.

“That’s because Aunt Tong washes clothes well,” facing his old neighbor, Yuan Zhou appeared to be more talkative.
