Chapter 267 (2/2)

“Don’t worry, boss.” Speaking of the work, Zhou Jia was quite serious.

Having heard Zhou Jia’s “grievance”, Yuan Zhou felt, as a boss, he was really not bad and even knew to care about his staff’s spiritual life. Then he began to talk about his proper business with her. Yet, he totally forgot it was he himself who first started the topic.

Of course, Zhou Jia had no idea of that. After all, Yuan Zhou was talking to her solemnly.

At the other side, three people in the black car likewise stretched themselves. Of them, a man that appeared to be a senior white-collar talked first.

“Ok, let’s go to get some breakfast. A moment later, Mouse will take charge over here.” The man had a crew cut and was plain-looking. But when he talked, he was, nevertheless, rather decisive.

“That’s great. Boss Zhao, you didn’t forget what you promised last night, did you?” The younger man on the passenger side leaped up. He was dressed up like a newbie of the workplace.

“Lin Cong, you brat, you rip me off every time.” The person who was called Boss Zhao was the one speaking. He said smilingly upon hearing that.

“It’s not true. Zheng Xing, you testify for me. Didn’t Boss Zhao say that by himself?” Lin Cong turned the head immediately and said to the one seated in the backseat.

The smiling expression of the person made him look like a goody-goody in the workplace who wouldn’t give offense to anybody around. But once he talked, it wasn’t like that anymore.

“I can testify that. Boss Zhao, I have inquired about that restaurant. Customers need to wait in line for the dishes. Shall we go now?” said Zheng Xing after he opened the car door with a smile.

“That’s corruption. As far as I know, the dishes there are awfully expensive.” With a frown, Boss Zhao revealed a look of reluctance to spend the money. Nevertheless, he didn’t have any hesitation, but instead opened the door and got off the car following them.

“Come on. We must hurry up, otherwise, we won’t get the seats in time.” Lin Cong walked faster than the other two. While speaking, he had gone half way.

The three people had three characters that were totally different from each other. But the only thing in common was probably being plain-looking. Basically, none of them could be found if they were thrown into the crowd. Contrarily, Yuan Zhou had a currently popular uncle-style look, especially when he was solemn, although he wasn’t really handsome.

Yuan Zhou could more or less catch the eye of the crowd while these three persons were nevertheless like the passers-by on the streets.

The side street wasn’t long at all. In just a few minutes, the three people arrived at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in the middle.

Coincidentally, there wasn’t anybody inside.

“Please come on in,” as soon as Zhou Jia saw the three people, she became delighted and then went up and greeted them.

“Huh. What a coincidence! I’m the first customer.” Lin Cong walked into the restaurant excitedly in big strides.

“It’s indeed a coincidence,” Zhou Jia answered with a smile.

“We have long heard that your restaurant serves extraordinarily delicious dishes, so we are here today with the purpose to have a taste. He is paying,” Zheng Xing first complimented Boss Yuan smilingly and then said while pointing at Boss Zhao.

“I’m sorry, but we provide only soup dumplings for breakfast this morning.” Zhou Jia reminded.

“How many soup dumplings in each steamer”? Lin Cong looked at the food steamers stacked up over there suspiciously.

“Only one.” Zhou Jia kept answering mildly.

“No problem. Get one for me. I’m hungry.” With his sharp nose, Zheng Xing smelled a glimmer of the remaining fragrance, thus he directly ordered.

“Alright. One moment, please.” Zhou Jia went up and carried the soup dumplings to them.

“Vinegar?” Zhou Jia set down the soup dumplings and then asked.

“Of course. Bring some for me, please,” Boss Zhao answered.

Even if he didn’t really like vinegar, he still ordered it. He had just seen the surprising price of 66 RMB for each soup dumpling. It would be a loss if he didn’t eat it with the vinegar.

“Some vinegar for me, too.” Zheng Xing came prepared this time. He had once logged on to the gourmet forum and of course, he would savor the perfect combinations of soup dumpling and the vinegar.

“Tsk-tsk. An adult man surprisingly eats vinegar with soup dumpling?” Only Lin Cong grunted. He couldn’t wait to take the chopsticks and prepare to eat.

“It looks so good,” Zheng Xing first smelled the fragrance of the vinegar and then looked at the soup dumpling before he said contentedly.
