Chapter 234 (2/2)

“I heard that from my senior classmate. It means that you are sick and is unable to open the restaurant for business.” Shen Min carefully explained to him.

Leave requests all had similar reasons.

“We can’t lie to the customers. Change it to another one.” Said Yuan Zhou with a face of righteousness.

“Ok. Shall I write another one?” Shen Min asked tentatively.

“Humm. There’s still time. Go ahead.” Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod.

He continued to read the notifications written by Zhou Jia. The first one was almost the same to Shen Min’s and the second one was that he needed to ask for leave due to some personal affairs. The last one was the most unreliable.

Leave Request Notification: I have been set up for a blind date by my family and hereby request for leave for 5 days in order to end my single status.”

As for the remaining content, he didn’t read anymore.

“Zhou Jia, do you feel your boss needs blind dates?” asked Yuan Zhou seriously.

“No, no. It’s just because when I was working in a factory, some of my workmates wrote like that and then their application was approved. So…..” Zhou Jia indicated that she didn’t mean that intentionally. She just felt it easy to ask for leave that way and could guarantee it’s true.

“Humm. Write again.” Yuan Zhou gave the six notifications back to them and then got seated on his seat. Then, he began to think of the reasons to ask for leave.

Just in a little while, Shen Min first handed a notice to him, which was quite satisfactory.

Leave Request Notification: As I have been suffering from being too handsome at my current age, I get exhausted mentally and physically and hence need to calm down. Therefore, I hereby ask for 5 days of leave. The restaurant will be opened again for business after 5 days.”

The signature area was left blank and to be filled out by Yuan Zhou.

“This one is nice.” After reading, Yuan Zhou nodded primly with satisfaction.

“Really?” Shen Min got surprised immediately.

This leave request notification was written by her after she was inspired by a joke told by her roommate last night. Never had she ever expected that her boss would use it.

“Humm. When you write the leave request notifications again in future, do it exactly according to the truth. Don’t use the excuses like getting sick or having a blind date. A man has to be honest.” Said Yuan Zhou seriously.

“Eh…” Zhou Jia and Shen Min felt quite speechless to Yuan Zhou.

“You can come over to help clean the entrance area in the next few days and check if the notification is well pasted by the way. The salary will be paid as usual.” Said Yuan Zhou while taking the satisfactory leave request notification.

“Sure. Just be rest assured, boss.” The two girls truly felt Yuan Zhou was the most handsome man at the moment. Any boss that paid salary during holidays was most handsome.

On that day, both Shen Min and Zhou Jia stayed there and busied themselves explaining to the customers the matter that Yuan Zhou wouldn’t open the restaurant tomorrow. The effect of the advance notice was that the business of that day became much better. Luckily, Shen Min had only one class that day and helped Zhou Jia a lot.

…..

On the next day, Yuan Zhou set out on a journey to Yanfeng Village with only a few pieces of luggage while Wu Hai likewise boarded the plane back to Chengdu with only a few pieces of luggage. They had barely missed each other.

Two and a half hours later, Wu Hai got off the plane and took a cab to Taoxi Road directly. He was a little surprised when he arrived at the cross of the side road.

“Why is it so quiet today?” Carrying a small bag on his shoulder, Wu Hai said in puzzlement.

However, Wu Hai had no time to think much about it due to his thirst for the delicacies. He just walked to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in big strides.

Nevertheless, the uncomfortable feeling came true. There was no one at the entrance but only a piece of white A4 paper pasted loosely on the firmly-shut door.

“Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit!” The abrupt shout of Wu Hai just scared quite a few sparrows to fly away.
